I haven’t been invested in a KZbin series like this ever. So genuine and engaging. The drive is looking 👌

[@NickyandHarri]

Best compliment EVER! Thank you🥰🤭

[@oldboyuk]

I had 4 stumps to do in our drive way and had crazy quotes. Had to get a digger anyway for when I resurfaced it. If you carefully dig around them, you can use an axe to cut through the main side roots then use the digger to carefully loosen them out (I had a 2.5T one that worked well, wouldn't attempt in a micro). The benefit of pulling the whole thing out is you don't have to worry about what the grinder can't get slowly rotting and creating a sink in your drive way

[@NickyandHarri]

Ah that’s great to know - thanks!

[@HelenWhitcombe-xj3mb]

Loving the weekly vlogs, you guys are so inspiring and clearly working very hard. The quality of your videos have gone up so much too, it’s feels like you are really enjoying capturing the renovation and sharing it!!

Hi from New Zealand. I can’t wait until Monday morning over a cup of coffee to see what you two have been up to over the past week. It’s looking great so far guys.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

You all are working so hard and producing a great finish on your driveway and garden.👍. Thank goodness for mum😃♥️. Have a great week and fingers crossed for the planning permission coming through. That tree stump grinder is a game changer. Stay safe🤗

[@louismartin9703]

Hi guys, loving your content and it’s become routine for my partner and I to sit down on Sunday and watch your new vids. We just wanted to know how you’re able to fund working on it full time, mortgage and works you’re doing to it and living month to month. I know it’s a bit personal but I’m looking to get into property developing myself (I’m a bricklayer)and can’t work out how you’re able to afford it. All the best, keep up the great work

[@carolcreamer8285]

Glad you are both feeling better xxx

[@NickyandHarri]

Thank you Carol 🥰

[@jvgl2024]

The middle layer, in the front garden, you want to ensure you leave enough width for a lawn mower. Even if that means a slightly smaller flower bed. As it will be super annoying if you can’t use a lawn mower/flymo to cut the grass. (Speaking from unfortunate experience)

[@NickyandHarri]

Good idea!

[@debbiehingley3138]

Love your video’s, you 2 are so talented and funny. Glad your channel is growing.

😮😮😮

[@belayvisual6633]

@@NickyandHarri sorry 😅

[@LostTouristOfficial]

You can drill holes into the tree stump and build a mini fire onto it. I’ve added bbq coals also to help the long burn and it did a good job getting much lower than ground level. It helps to dig a hole on the side of it for air flow also. Good luck on the rest of the build! I’m catching up whilst sunbathing on a beach in Cape Verde on a winter holiday 😂

[@LostTouristOfficial]

That air fryer looks like a slow cooker I maybe wrong 😂

[@NickyandHarri]

Ah good to know thanks! Oh gawdddd Cape Verde sounds INCREDIBLE right now. Enjoy!☀️🤩

[@brickstop9538]

Blind and Shutter expert here, 12-14 weeks roughly for Hardwood Shutters or 3-4 for plastic. Great effort again you two, can’t wait for the planning to be granted.

[@NickyandHarri]

Amazing/ thanks for the heads up 💙🙌🏻

[@fbpz1847]

Please make these longerrrrrrr

[@hearmenow909]

Editing video is so time consuming, it's a herculean effort that they manage to even get a weekly video out with all the work they have to do on the house as well. I don't think it's realistic for the videos to be longer, unless they were bi-weekly. The current length is just right to see the progress each week.

[@fbpz1847]

@ I’m joking….well I’d love them to be longer I know there so busy but I’d love a cheeky 1hr long vid if possible just to sit on sofa with a brew and watch on tv.

[@NickyandHarri]

We love that people want the episodes to be longer, hopefully it means you’re enjoying the series! As the person above pointed out, we really struggle for time as it is- and making longer episodes would either mean doing more DIY or making less snappy and more slow videos (which isn’t really our vibe for now!). We’ll keep trying to make them a bit longer where we can to give you all a longer watch!! 🥰

[@RestoringNumberFour]

​@@NickyandHarriI'm up for a 2hr full feature-length film please!!

[@fbpz1847]

@@NickyandHarri awesome love the series came across it and got hooked hence why longer vids are needed ! Keep smashing it yous are doing amazing and inspiration to a lot of people wanting to do this sort of stuff. Good job 👏🏻

[@ianowen5098]

£200 to remove a tree stump! Wow! I need to move down South. It cost us £400 to get one pulled up in Sheffield last year. They dug around it put a winch round it and pulled it with a truck. Chipped it up and left in an hour.

I've been waiting with anticipation for today's video 😊 It's super exciting the progress you're making. ❤x It must be Chris & Paloma from Restoring Number 4 that are joining you next week? I hope you're feeling better each day. I wondered how you maintained your energy levels. Do you have any recommendations please. Loved your recipe Nicky 😊 Great idea with the command hooks.

Nice one chaps. You guys are racing, can’t believe how quick you are doing this. There is something very relaxing about watching a Timelapse of a wall going up. 🤞for the planning soon. Think I need you boys on our Reno, we are 4 years in and you are gonna beat us to the finish 😂.

Every time you do a lot of shoveling, all I can think about is 'hope you don't throw your back out!' 😆

[@NickyandHarri]

hahaha I know what you mean, it does hurt our shoulders sometimes 🤣

[@CorinneAtHome]

Gosh I can't believe how much the materials cost for the one wall! I love the radiators, that's what the ones in the house we are buying look like - (if we actually end up getting through this process without it all falling through as it's close to falling apart for like the 6th time and we're only a week away from the agreed completion date ugh).

[@NickyandHarri]

I know- it’s shocking how much the materials are totting up to! ah no- we’ve got everything crossed for you guys to complete as quickly as possible!!

[@MaximusClarkus]

I know it’s not possible, but would love more frequent vlogs 👍 Love watching your progress. Keep up the great work and good luck getting the planning permission.

[@lisathompson4273]

Hey Nikki, Harry and all your helpers Nikki I need to correct you. The soup you put it in the slow cook not the air fryer like you said 😅😅 I have just seen a comment about blinds. I have had the wooden ones they look lovely but so hard to keep clean especially because the windows in my house at the time were absolutely s**t those windows ruined my blinds cos windows were letting in water (I wasn't aware of it til I seen mould) the wet also made them weak and they bent all over the place! I swore I wouldn't have them again, they were expensive too 7 windows and back door cost over £600!!!! So going forward now have proper double glazed windows and doors😊😮 I seen some beautiful blinds at my friend's house and was shocked when she said they were made from UPVC and had wood grain effect going through every slat. So............. Yes I got some blinds in fact 7 blinds (not sure yet what to do about the back door. My blinds are white UPVC, and have the wood grain going through them. To say I am vey happy with would be an understatement. I absolutely LOVE them, over the moon with them, they are 😍😍😍😍 I got them off 24/7 blinds, half the price of those wooden ones I had. You can send for samples which is what I did cos there are different shades of white or whatever colour you want, you also get to pick how wide ya want the slats, the amount of grain effect and you just measure the window either inside or outside (depends how ya want them) they are great especially in th kitchen cos ya can damp wipe., or wash them. When they arrive everything is included and basically you just put it the brackets up followed by the blinds and that's it (you also a cover to put across the front which covers the metal and the brackets. So quick, easy and simple to do. They also do Shutters Nikki which I would have loved but I just simply couldn't afford to maybe in a few years 😮😮 Another great video guys your doing fantastic 😍😊😊😍 I look forward to Sunday morning now 😁😁😁😁 Lisa UK xxxx

[@NickyandHarri]

Hey Lisa, thanks so much for the comment, we love that you really enjoy watching along each week and always enjoy reading your really positive comments! Samples definitely sound like a great idea for the shutters, we’ll make sure we do that and test them in the rooms before buying anything in particular! See you next week👋🏻❤️

[@juliebrooke6099]

You need to spray some chemical on that roof to kill off that moss. It will really improve the look in time. Can’t believe how much you’ve got done in such a short time.

[@Redrally]

Afternoon Nicky and Harri! (Watching this after doing church duties and pantry stocking) As annoying as it is with the council dragging their feet on the planning permission, the silver lining has been full focus on the front driveway. Full on land management is no joke 😩So you should at least feel chuffed that you've made so much progress on that. When you showed where you wanted to move the stairs, I realised that the vacant "room" could at least be partially converted into a full-on welcome area. With a little bench or ottoman, shoe and coat storage. Maybe with a welcome couch? This would remove the space needed for a snug, but you could make it into a sort of office nook? If you have a full on cupboard or wardrobe for your coats, you could install an interior key storage, just to make the entrance a bit more secure? Just spit-balling ideas for the space really.

[@NickyandHarri]

Evening! We love hearing what people get up to on their Sundays! Land management really is no joke!! Thank you for the thoughts on the little room by the stairs - it’s defo something to think about!! It’s great get suggestions from other people as the decision fatigue is already setting in 🤣

[@neilcarter7412]

Another brilliant video, being a drone flyer I love the drone shots and would love to see more, particularly as you are doing a lot of outside work. Might be good for some before and after shots. Thanks for sharing the journey, you guys are doing great 😀

[@NickyandHarri]

@@neilcarter7412 ah thank you very much! Truth be told we took some awesome drone shots this week and then literally lost our drone (in the sky)😳 we spent hours looking for it but no luck! so a new drone is defo on the cards because you’re right, I really want to see what the front driveway look like now compared to 2 months ago!😀

[@neilcarter7412]

@ such a shame about the drone, I’d be interested to hear what type of drone you are going to purchase. I myself only use the DJI drones, they cost a little more but worth for the quality and safety controls that come with them

[@ianbendall3116]

Watching you guys do all that hard work, if there’s one thing that I could recommend is, don’t be a hero when lifting trees, 9 inch hollows or even shovelling stone because you only get one back !

It’s unfortunate that some people feel the need to complain, especially when the property in question is relatively secluded and the extension would barely, if at all, be visible to anyone. You are surrounded by people with large, beautiful homes, yet your expectation to have the same is something they feel compelled to challenge. It feels like some folks just can’t help but rain on others’ parades.
