[@BVking509]

R from Staffordshire Looking to get into renovations BRR's, I watch a lot of property stuff, but I dont buy into the training academies and things, they seem like cons, as the organisers make more money from members than they do from property. I've done BTL before. But believe the money is in renovation, permitted development and re-development. I'm trying to avoid bridging finance. I am currently viewing properties but the last one had a giant tree in the back garden, which was under a TPO bringing the value down by 40k. I've found repossessions to offer the best value.

[@francesco97100]

My name is Francesco, I live in Ipswich with my girlfriend, our 2-year-old son, and our dog. We've been living in England for 10 years, but we are Italians. In January, I bought a 1994 Ford Motorhome, and as I needed to renovate it, I started looking for videos for inspiration, and that's when I found you. Since then, I've been following you because you're likeable and good person. I am an Architect, but since I was a child, I helped my father in his construction company, so, four years ago, when we bought our house here, I did several renovation projects. I watch your videos because i love the architecture and DIY. I forgot to mention, my girlfriend is a hairdresser, so if Nicky needs one, let us know 🙂

[@NickyandHarri]

Hi Francesco, you’re just a big old stones throw away from us then! What a cool story you have, we absolute LOVE Italy and had a dream of a trip last Winter driving down the Italian coast in our Luton conversion. I’m sure you learnt loads from your dad with all his construction knowledge, there’s nothing better than taking advice from someone who really knows what they’re talking about! I’ll be sure to let Nicky know where she next needs to go for her haircut, and we’ll make sure we keep tackling some big projects here on KZbin! Cheers 👍🏻🙂

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Hi Nicky and Harri. It is your American buddy from Swansboro, North Carolina USA. I am a retired Marine, retired civil service and a happy go lucky old man. I helped remodel my parents' house in the 60's and remodeled two of my own houses in the 70's and 90's long before YT and the popular term DIY. We just called it upgrading or remodeling and I did it myself because I couldn't afford to hire anyone to do it for me. friends would chip in and help on items that couldn't be done by one person. Now a days it is more fun to watch awesome people like you do it and I don't even work up a sweat. That is the best part about watching instead of doing. At my age that is the best I can do. LOL. Absolutely love watching you two in action and am looking forward to your next video.

[@NickyandHarri]

Hey Leslie, thanks so much for introducing yourself- what a cool story you have! Nothing better than being happy go lucky and taking every day as it comes. I can imagine remodelling back in the day really was a case of learning on the job, before the days of KZbin to help with any ‘how to’ task (we really take it for granted). We’re really glad you enjoy watching our videos and will make sure we keep breaking a sweat for the forseable, so you don’t have to! Cheers for checking in and see you in the next one👍🏻

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

Good eve, guys I'm loving your videos, I've binge watched all of them since finding your channel! I'm Huwbert, I'm 31 and I've recently moved from Bournemouth to Liverpool to buy and renovate my first property. I could of picked up a sorted flat down south but here I can get a 3 - 4 bedroom house that needs some work. I'm lucky enough to have a remote job and run my own small online business which made the move possible. Like yourselves I have a budget of around £30k for the renovation and will be doing most of the work myself with a little help from my sister who moved to Liverpool two years ago for uni. Your videos serve as a great inspiration to me and I'm super excited to see how it turns out and what comes next, Ciao!

[@NickyandHarri]

Thanks for Checking in Huwbert. What an exciting time for you, we bet you can’t wait to get deep into the renovation! Totally feel you with moving accross country, to get something bigger for your money. Best of luck with the renovation and keep us in the loop with how you’ve got on, in the comments when you can! Let us know if you need any advice on anything, always there for a quick question! Sure you’ll smash it 💪🏻

[@jamescraven5001]

To stop the paint from pealing off. Ie with fresh plaster walls. Do a white wash ie get the paint and mix in water with it. Do one coat let it dry you should be able to still see the plaster through the paint then do a second coat. This helps lock the paint in. One that's dry then you can do your top coat and it want pill off

Hi you two I'm Tom 28 from North Yorkshire. Been watching you since you started this house journey, I get buzz when watching your house become a home and plan to buy my very own home in the next year.

[@NickyandHarri]

Hey Up Tom 👋🏻 we love a northerner!! Both our grandparents are from up there! oh we know the exact buzz you’re talking about, and we feel the same watching other projects come into fruition! it’s kind of addictive 🤣 very excited for you on your plans to buy a new home! Keep us updated 🤪☺️

[@Selfbuild_TheJenkins]

Hi Nicky & Harri! My names Rhys and my wife is Natasha, and we have been following you for about 6-8months as we are also doing a renovation property. We are both from south wales and decided to sell up our new build 3 bed semi with a beautiful garden and nice double drive with garage, to buy a derelict 2 bed semi bungalow. Since buying the bungalow in august 2022 we have cleared the garden, built a 7x4m garden office, had our extension planning approved, currently finishing up building our own extension and almost finished replacing our own roof … hopefully in time for Christmas 😂 We try to take on all task’s ourselves to save as much money as possible on this long journey. We have found a few good diy renovation channels that we like to watch in our spare time In and around our 9-5 jobs and working on our project and we really enjoy your videos 😊 We have been documenting our progress since day one so that we have this amazing journey to look back on and we can show our kids when we find time to have them 😅 We really admire your video directing and editing skills as your videos are so easy and entertaining to watch, would love some pointers on how you do it? Best wishes, Rhys & Natasha’s The Jenkins 😊

[@NickyandHarri]

Hey Rhys and Natasha 👋🏻 wow it sounds like you have a lot going on - especially with 9-5 jobs as well! Smashing it guys. And thank you! It’s hard to say what pointers are actually useful because sometimes we feel like we have no idea what we’re doing 🤣 id probably say, don’t feel the need to actually use all the footage you get in the final edit. Boring parts get cut a lot in our vids! we probs only use about 60% of the actual footage we get. X

[@Selfbuild_TheJenkins]

Thank you, we will try to be a bit more brutal on trimming down the fat 😅 Looking forward to your next episode!

My name is Alison, live near Dudley in the West Midlands. We bought our council house almost 2 years ago now and there are so many things we want to renovate but we are on a very tight budget at the moment, so I love watching your videos to get some tips and hacks to bring the cost down but still look luxurious. Thanks again for another great video!

Thanks for checking in Alison, we're really glad we're giving you some cheap ideas for some renovations in your council house- and hopefully it's all starting to come together for you. Hopefully see you in the next one 😀

[@HughandRebecca]

I'm Rebecca I live in bristol (kind of) at least that's where my flat is that I renovated with my boyfriend at the start of this year... it took us 8 months whilst we were both working full time jobs as well. There were some pretty grim 12-14 hour days and very little down time but all worth it in the end as it looks amazing now we are so proud of it. We are currently travelling the world for the next 2-5 years funding part of our trip with campervan conversions along the way.. Once we've finished travelling we will be onto our next rennovation! I follow you because we seem to do the same stuff convert campervans and rennovate houses. Got to love a project!!!

[@NickyandHarri]

Hey Rebecca, wow, how funny that you’re doing exactly the same as us (and visa versa). There really were some difficult points in this build where we couldn’t have imagined working full time around the DIY (so hats off to you!). Enjoy your next few years travelling and if you’re anything like us, then enjoy looking at rightmove every other day whilst your away. You really do got to love a project hey! Thanks for checking in 🤗

John from North Wales. We bought our forever home from my GFs grandparents 2 years ago last month. It's a 4 bed detached, double detached garage property with so much potential. Untouched since it was built 38 years ago, not even a drop of paint! Original carpets, you know the one that if you drop food on you'd never find said food! Oh & some funky green carpet in the living room which we've kept for now before we put the extension on the back & have the same floor throughout the whole ground floor.

[@NickyandHarri]

Wow what a project!! That sounds insane! And what a great thing to keep in the family. The green fluffy carpets are an interesting one🤣🤣 funny what the trends used to be! All we can say is good luck and keep us updated, we’re so excited for you!

[@johnstubbs8744]

@NickyandHarri insane is probably the best word to describe it, thank you! Haha yeah the trends of what once was in is pretty funny & quite interesting how well some of them fit into todays designs!

Although you two make me laugh pretty much all the way through, I have to say my favourite part is 12:09! 😂😂xxx

Kay from Southampton, always wanted to buy a house and do it up but never had the money 😢. I've always built my own stud walls, decorating, upholstered old chairs with new modern fabric as I can't afford a new sofa etc. Buy solid wood second hand furniture, then you can paint it and make it look good. I think the only things in my house that were bought new was the bed and cooker

Hi Nicky and Harri 👋 I've been super excited to see the staircase! It looks amazing! What colour did you use on the panelling of the stairs? Love the panelling in the spare room, it's totally transformed it. I'm from the North East & I love to see a property being transformed. Watching your channel has given me the confidence to attempt some projects. You're an amazing couple & a joy to watch. Your skills are tremendous. Now I have to wait 2 wks to find out if you've put a stair runner & rods on stairs or a full edge to edge carpet 😊 Thank you so much for all the inspiration ❤️ x

Hey, i’m from east Suffolk and looks like you’re about 5 minutes away 😅 I’ve recently got my first house too and trying to do as much reno works myself as I can. Just wanted to ask how hard was it to take the radiator off the wall to paint behind?

[@tacallor]

Question! How do you wash your paint rollers?! And how many do you have? 😂 I have so much painting to do and the thing that always puts me off is the washing of the rollers!!! I clingfilm whilst usig but just curious what you do / have! 😅 Love watching as doing my own DIY at home so always nice to see what you're up to! Get some ideas or just to motivate me to keep going. I've got a identical pine drawers that I've meaning to upcycle for months -- you made that look.v easy and now feeling like I should just stop procrastinating and get on with it!

[@NickyandHarri]

This is the truest statement ever- we hate painting solely because of washing the bloody rollers 🤣. A lot of the time we use water based paints on walls so we just stick it under the hose for a while- if not, we buy plenty of spare roller replacements and change the roller bit every days or so! (Not ideal but we can’t be spending all afternoon cleaning). Chuffed we’ve been giving you a little bit of inspo to crack on with the drawers, Nicky really did fly through it- hopefully you’ll smash yours too!

The best part was watching the paint peel off 🤣 Hmmm, considering how old this account is, I'd rather keep my name off it. So to convey my name while making sure no algorithm properly figures it out, I'll say that I have the same name as Naomi's daughter-in-law. Only humans will understand this (forgive my paranoia but I do work in IT). Meanwhile everyone online just calls me "Red". I am actually from London originally and I love watching reno's because when we moved house at 13, I would spend the next several weekends helping my Dad DIY various shelves and cabinets. Doing these things with your own hands is super satisfying 😊

Hi :3 we i am from Ukraine, i am interested in renovation because it is the only option for my family to by a house and live normal life))) Homes in UK are insanely expensive but still it is better than having putin neighbour. So, my question is next, what paperwork required to be able to do water and drain pipes, electricity and heating and maybe small expansion? I am trying to understand a Building code but everything I see is tons of money for every kind of operation, everything beside cosmetic changes requires permit or competent person scheme license that is making sense to obtain for contractors only as I understood. Is it that bad? What is the paper work part price? Appreciate your time, thanks!

Great video! Me and my partner are also renovating our first house in Teesside (North East England) and draw a lot of similarities from your journey... bought for £175,000, same kitchen/ diner setup, and trying to have a go of thingsd ourselves. im also called Harrison and GF's second name is Cook 😳 love the idea of putting plastic cover over the paint tray too, will be using that

[@NickyandHarri]

Cheers for checking in Harry, a crazy amount of similarities there, and how exciting for you both! The plastic bag over the paint tray is a little chestnut of a trick, saves so much washing up- as that is defo the worst part! Best of luck with your renovations, feel free to reach out with any particular questions! :)

Mat from bristol and just love diy and wish i could renovate my house from scratch would of been my dream but i am doing alot of garden work that i like doing leveling the slope to 2 levels and building walls i can put my hand to practically anything a like watching and seeing what others do

[@NickyandHarri]

Hey Mat, thanks for checking in. Garden work sounds like it’s keeping you busy enough without a house renovation, but hopefully you’ll be able to do that at some point! Cheers for checking in 👍🏻

Hi Ant, thanks for checking in- it sounds like you've really got a houseful! Very exciting times, we've seen a lot of loft conversions recently and some of them look really great! Sounds like you've got it all planned out, best of luck :)

I may well have a project for you both to tackle... You'd easily get another series out of it, maybe two... Let's just say some less than ideal circumstances have led to it being in its current condition thanks to the previous tenants. 1920's construction, similar to what you have here, but over an acre of land with it. If you are interested or intrigued PM me. I'd love to see you work your magic with it.

[@NickyandHarri]

Sure sounds like a really interesting project you’ve got on there. We’ve unfortunately already got some spanners in the works for a future project, so won’t be able to give it a bash unfortunately. Hopefully you find someone to help you out 👍🏻
