What happened to Tim Rose on 'Barnwood Builders'?
According to GVQuarterly, Tim joined the team in 2006 after working for 10 years as an Air Force aircraft mechanic.
While the show has created individual archetypes for the team members, the crew can actually do everything. "We work as a unit," Tim said in a 2016 interview. "We don’t feel like anyone is the expert or the boss. If someone says, 'Go do this,' or 'Go do that,' we do it."
So, though he's portrayed on the series as the "animal whisperer," aka the guy who specializes in getting rid of unwanted critters and snakes, it's only because he and Graham Ferguson are the "bravest," according to Graham.
"So that’s why we end up handling them," Graham told GVQuarterly. "No reason to destroy wildlife if you can rescue it. I guess I’ve rescued a few lizards, too, before the buildings fell on them."

The last thing is that y'all may or may not know [that] this is Alex's last project. He's moving on to greener pastures. We're going to have to get some people here to fill your shoes."

"Thank you all for your support! I'm really gonna miss that bunch!" he wrote on Facebook. "I am so grateful for every single fan and the wonderful experiences that I have had.
