I just know whoever objected is both watching this video and reading these comments. So howdy, objector! Commiserations in advance for your misery seeing these 2 beautiful humans creating a beautiful home despite your lonely negativity. Enjoy from afar! 😆

[@natedawg2p]

I work for a large builders merchant in the UK. I had a customer building 6 houses. He told me to check out the planning and the objections. So I did... one of the objections was a Doctor who didn't live in the area any more. He was renting his house out. The houses weren't spoiling anyone's view yet he said they were. Fine people can be Karen's. What made his objection worse was he plugged his book he had written at the bottom of his objection! People are weird. The retaining walls in this aren't block anyone's views so why bring it up? If you're getting along with your neighbours and this person has remained anonymous it could be someone who watches your vids. Loving everything you're doing, you're smashing it so far 😊

[@chloemelissa4635]

Some people really do feed on bad feeling! Fingers crossed it doesn’t affect your planning permission! Your plans are clearly going to make the property much more appealing!❤

[@kylieharrison3782]

If you don't get planning permission we could all flood the permissions dept. With counter complaints. 😂

[@NickyandHarri]

Thank you! I know, that’s our thinking! There always has to be 1 though 🤣🤭

[@gingermonette7455]

Why would anyone object? What you're doing is tastefully done and improves the property -- and the value of ALL the homes in the neighborhood.

[@Snowysmum07]

Some people are so miserable that they will object to planning permission just for something too do. They are probably jealous that 2 young people have got further in life than they will ever do/did. Fingers crossed the planning goes your way and you can build a dream home. Keep smiling 😊❤

[@NickyandHarri]

Ah thank you🥹 we will keep smiling!❤️🥰

[@mattdoores4611]

There’s always one jealous neighbourhood crank! Don’t they realise your enhancing their neighbourhood 😂 duncy people, your doing amazing and am 🙏 you get your planning passed xx

[@SiAnon]

It says they are anonymous. I doubt they even live in the local area. Also they are objecting with reference to the videos. If they were real they would have taken photos from the road.

[@carguyuk7525]

Love the way you edit these videos. Very professional. You are my new favourite house building channel.

[@NickyandHarri]

Ah that means SO much, because I am always second guessing my editing! Thank you!☺️

[@chrisking5355]

Personally would go for a cream or more earthy colour, white can look quite stark and cold in the winter, hope your drainage has been well proven this week!

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Mainstream media only wish they had brilliant content like this! Keep it up guys👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@karendooks6244]

You two are such hard workers and you have done an amazing brilliant job of those walls. Very professional. And as for the anonymous nay sayers, they know they're being miserable, that's why they won't put their name to their complaints. Keep up the good work guys xx😊

[@HenOnWheels]

1. Motivation - Keep your spirits up as the nights get short and cold, I'm at the same point in our renovation and it's a killer, especially for video creation. You're doing well. 2. Objections - Personal opinions mean next to nothing for the planners considerations, unless you live next to a councillor. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome. 3. Subscribed - ✌

[@richardwest7092]

walls look mint, hope the planning all goes through. I recon who ever has put the rejection in is just jealous of what you have both achieved in such a short time. Keep up the good work and don't let the Karen's get to you 👍

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Richard, there’s always one hay! 👀😅

[@Smithy_82]

Fab job guys! Sandex Chalk Hill is a lovely light neutral, warmer than white but without the yellow you would find in cream. Good luck with planning 🙏

[@valeriehill6382]

Amazing 🤩🤩🤩 well done, a soft white with sandstone capping would look stunning but hey you guys have totally got this, whatever you do will look fabulous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Ooooo it really would look gorgeous 🥹🤭

[@kevindavies1238]

Your doing a great Job guy's keep up the good work and to the objector don't be a numpty all your life!!!!!!👍

[@StreetTravellerX]

Guys. Love your videos and literally give us knowledge and diy tricks. Wish you good luck with your planning permission. Don’t worry about a needle in the haystack. It’ll go through. Keep doing the good work.

[@andresh3399]

In terminal of the wall colour, I would use an off white and then put some plants. Use something that it is easy to repaint in parts when needed. Good luck with the permissions!

[@alicelangford2903]

All of my fingers and toes crossed that planning comes through for you. And to the anonymous neighbour who is clearly watching these videos; I hope you feel proud of yourself for being such a miserable person. Be more supportive and perhaps even offer a hand or bugger off. They are clearly jealous that a young couple is achieving so many awesome accomplishments and have the means to do so ... Don't let them dampen your spirits! Looking forward to seeing more of this reno! Xxxx

[@HelenWhitcombe-xj3mb]

You guys work so hard and what you are achieving in such a short space of time is amazing. And you are managing to crack out great videos too!!!

[@RenLC20]

Amazing amount of work you've done 😮 the going over with the float really helped, the walls look great! Fingers crossed for your planning permission. You've basically done the front now which is a massive job. Can't wait to see what you do next! 😊

[@JaJa_Pose]

Oh my gosh😂❤ he 1:45 has my dad’s ears, love it. I’ve got to show my dad

[@omgguesswot]

Omg some people have nothing better to do!! 🙄 they are probably so miserable that they feel the need to bring others down too!! It's laughable actually 😂 you guys are smashing it and I love that the guys from restoring number four have come over to help! I can't wait to see you guys in their videos too!! 😍

[@MissDelia]

We put in some colour fence in our garden which is metal - sounds hideous but looks really lovely. A friend of ours who is an interior designer, told us that a darker colour would look better with the plants and shrubs next to it, so we chose the dark blue. We are so happy that we did because it looks so lovely and it means less maintenance too (we dont have to wash it all the time). If you choose white, you will be repainting and your plants will get in the way. We also have a cream block wall and planter and I have to paint it yearly. Loving your work guys.

[@NickyandHarri]

Ooo defo something to consider, thank you for sharing!☺️

[@Torquetrailauto]

I’m so invested it’s crazy. To the objector, I hope it’s good news and I wish we could see your face! Love you both and hope you make 1 hour videos going forward 😂

[@jakeaird4786]

Watching in awe from south Africa, good luck with the pp, will be praying for you

[@caroleleather5551]

Well done, you're doing great walls looks fantastic .and you have fantastic friends. Not many would put themselves out like that shows you're all good people

[@NickyandHarri]

Awh thanks Carol, we do have some amazing friends helping us! 💙🥰

[@anthonycameron5729]

I would paint the walls proppa bright white and burn sleeper blocks to give them that Japanese style effect to edge your walls and I think the bright white and the chard black sleepers will look realy cool and rustick

[@ReeceBraden]

I think a Matt white would really give it a pop with the plants there as well it would look amazing ❤

[@NickyandHarri]

We do love a Matt white! 😅

[@idaslpdhr]

I would do a slightly off white, plain white can look bluey in certain light, off white is a warmer look

[@jennyjones139]

Walls look great well done all of you. Fingers crossed for planning….there always has to be one negative person doesn’t there! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@NickyandHarri]

Thank you!! there does 🤣 onwards and upwards!

[@jeojeo9393]

Either stark white with black trim or a warmer off white warm cream colour to go with the wooden porch front you like cheers

You guys are amazing you work so hard in everything you do!The walls are looking fantastic you take care!xxx❤️

[@NickyandHarri]

Thank you Tina 🥰

[@Dangonyon]

I’ve just had a new boiler and soakaway installed by British Gas, genuinely not a bad word to say about them, they had surprisingly amazing customer service and the whole thing was an absolute breeze.

[@lukepeacham9663]

Great work well done. I am enjoying the series 😊

[@ChaseTheMoments]

British Gas did a fine job, very tidy pipework - lovely job. The render you guys have done is a great achievement and will look stunning when painted. Rise above the grumpy objector and just keep doing the best you can. Positivity and support make everyone happier but some people get themselves all worked up instead of having a simple 2 minute chat. Good luck with the planning, I predict an approval very soon 😉

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks Mike!! hopefully the paint will tie it all together!😃❤️

[@ginobragoli1448]

You are always going to get someone who "objects" its usually jealousy because they see you are trying and able to do a lot of the work yourself and making a nice home out of your efforts and its something they wish they could do but can't for whatever reasons, (unable to physically or financially). Keep your chin up and keep going fingers crossed for the approval of the planning application.👍👍🤞🤞

[@harleymac6308]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Nicky & Harri ❤ I hope you hear about your planning soon. You're both grafters & have put your heart & soul into this renovation. I love Sandtex masonry paint in Ivory Stone, Chalk Hill & Cotton Belt. Sending you both a big hug 🫂 Stay strong guys. You're amazing! ❤❤xx

[@Christopher_T_Paul]

I'm glad you are putting in coping stones on the retaining wall, so many people don't bother because they want clean lines, but as the saying goes "your wall is only as good as the hat you put on it". Make sure you fill the joints really well to the edges of the coping stones and you shouldn't have that horrible dirt marks on your walls as rain runs off.

[@NickyandHarri]

Coping stones are the cherry on top! 🍒 noted, thanks for that!

[@MikeTrenery]

Congrats on getting the planning. I'm glad the objection didn't have any basis on the application! I Can't wait to see the project progress with the extension!

Even if you don’t get permission you can appeal. People can be miserable buggers. Don’t let it defeat you!

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks for this info bud, there’s always one!

[@CassieMoore-d9m]

My friend had a small bungalow and applied for planning to just renovate the bungalow. She had an objection from a neighbour who claimed the view from his 3rd bedroom would be affected. She went back to planning a lot - but ended up building a 4 bed house on the site instead which didn’t upset the neighbour at all, so stick with it, it will happen, and maybe end up better than you first planned. 🤩🤩

[@geolyn]

Brilliant as always. No idea at all about paint colours - for which you should be grateful!

Defo a good point about the house, we hadn’t even thought about matching/contrasting the colours! Thank you for watching along 🥰💙

Hi just to say my daughter lived next to an cantankerous old lady who was also on the town planning council!! So when my daughter came to having a cabin built in her her garden she tried everything to block it!! My daughter persevered and had to appeal but she did get her permission. Ironically the cabin had been built to the measurements the council require from a neighbouring fence anyway?? There's always one out there! Good luck guys you all work so hard.xxxxxx

[@mrsbrownsboys81]

Looking Amamzing!! Fingers crossed the planning goes through ❤❤❤

We use them too! 22:10 Nicky munching on a crisp haha! Can't wait to hear whether you got planning or not in next week's video! xx

[@TJP32]

With regards to paint I would strongly recommend Emporer Exterior paint. I heard about the product on YT and whilst not cheap it is excellent. It's breathable and waterproof with added self cleaning properties. Did my house in an off white colour last year and it still looks brand new. Good luck with planning.

[@Officialcornishpixie]

Love watching fingers crossed for the planning permission I have everything crossed positive thoughts

[@headleshydra]

One thing you overlooked(maybe, by the looks of it in the video) - Your angle beads, were they for render? or internal?(what mm thick were they?)....also, it looks like you fill the beads on your first coat, always leave the beads hollow so you fill them out on the last coat, otherwise you end up rolling the beads(where they go curved)

[@johnoatley8586]

great jpb well done .

[@kevinburroughs6845]

Morning another fantastic video, great to see the walls taking shape. With regards to to colour A light colour will help reflect light into the area down by the front door on the upper wall maybe grey Either way it will make the house look ultra modern. Until next week keep safe.

[@_TrisstonC]

An idea for colour for your walls. I find almond milk I a nice colour it’s white with a soft cream touch to it. Think it’ll look really nice 👍🏻

[@jaxthompson7839]

Just watched. You 2 are amazing. I was so angry that someone is trying to squash your enthusiasm with putting in an objection for the planning permission. Pray it goes through for you. Keep going, we need more younger people like yourselves in this world. Ambitious, determination and dedication to the future. Much respect and support 🙏 ❤

[@NickyandHarri]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate this🥹❤️

[@Fromthedronetothescreen]

just started watching your videos and subscribed and youre doing great and to the muppet who objected you need to see the bigger picture it takes hard work to create a masterpiece so you need to understand what this project will look like in the future

[@authorjdnichols]

re: the wall color -- considering your house is at the bottom of a hill and the wall is pretty much all you're going to see any time you look out the window, why not do a mural of some sort? a wildflower garden...rolling green hills on the lower with mountains on the upper...something that won't make you feel so closed in whenever you look out. Good luck with the reno! hope you get your planning permission.

I have very different taste to yourselves and know I'll probably not be a fan of how you decorate BUT we all have different taste and I watch your videos because of the absolute graft you both put in and what you achieve is so impressive you should be so proud and I'm sure it inspires others to give things a go themselves. The person who has objected should really be ashamed of themselves for trying to put you both down for no good reason. What a sad sad person 💔 really hope you get your planning permission 🤞🤞🤞

[@paulag1109]

What troopers you guys are working in the cold wet weather. My thoughts are for an off-white, maybe light sandy colour. I hope it all works out with the building permit. I’m not sure why anyone would object to it as it’s the back of the house. 🤨

[@lilyvanillitravels]

I cant believe someone went to such effort to dig you out on your planning permission (pardon the pun). I hope all goes through ok, I'm excited to watch you build the extension. 🎉

[@SandiD1959]

A white render will look great, but ideally do it when all the mucky jobs in and out are done. Fingers crossed for planning xxx

Colour for render walls has to be “Timeless” it’s a near white that doesn’t discolour like brilliant white and won’t look like a cheap renovation job..good luck

@@NickyandHarri Although it's tempting, hold off painting for a while, Cement render takes ages to dry especially this time of the year (months) so hold off painting it for now. I'd leave till the spring if you can. Remember to mist coat, Patience is key with drying render. You don't want the paint flaking off... Look forward to seeing it painted
