Panic Flooding House Emergency! Home Renovation on a Budget Pt13

Welcome to our home renovation channel!
We are Nicky and Leigh and we just bought our first house. Join us as we start a new adventure of transforming our 1930s house into a cozy home. We're amateur home renovators on a budget, with no technical knowledge, but we're hoping we can pull off this renovation.
Our love story brought Leigh from Australia to the Netherlands, and we've been treasure hunting together all around the world on our other KZbin channel @BondiTreasureHunter Now, with a baby on the way the clock is ticking! Our goal is to make our house baby-ready in just five months.
In this first video, we take you on a tour of our new home to see its incredible potential and get a glimpse of the massive renovation ahead. From outdated electrics to no insulation, we've got our work cut out for us.
Subscribe to join us on this awesome new adventure, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on our weekly episodes!
Help us out with your renovation tips and leave your thoughts in the comment section.
Let's turn this house into a home, one room at a time. Stay tuned for our upcoming renovation videos, and let the adventure begin!

Great tan ! x

[@kevinmoore3092]

I really enjoy watching you and Nikki together. But as an old married man I want to give you a little advice. Marry that girl! You have found a soul mate that loves adventure as much as you do. Now that you have a child together give the child a true family dynamic. A family adventure. I hope I didn’t step too far out of line.

[@Shae_9876]

Hilarious watching Leigh running around in a panic over a bit of water with his little saucepan.

[@allisonryder4781]

😂😂😂

[@alanatolstad4824]

Hard to believe there wasn't an empty bucket or pail laying around.

[@Shae_9876]

@alanatolstad4824 I can't believe he didn't just open a window and throw it out that way rather than run through the house with it.

[@HooliganOutdoorsUK]

🤣🤣🤣

[@NickyandLeigh]

I didn’t expect so much water to come out and didn’t have anything bigger than a saucepan! 😂😂

[@iainweller452]

Nicky on filming duty and the camera didn’t land in the water 😂

[@NickyandLeigh]

😂😂😂😂

[@Juls716]

Shoutout to Henny (sp) for his help!! ❤

[@NickyandLeigh]

He’s a legend for helping us out 😃🙌🙌

[@AskingSpot]

Poor Nicki, when I was pregnant my sense of smell was fierce! If Leigh was complaining, yikes!

[@sharonhuntley6682]

Oh man I was cracking up laughing at Leigh running around with is pot

[@kathyscheiman2715]

OMG. Leigh is so dramatic. The house is flooded. Look close or you might miss the water. 🤣

[@NickyandLeigh]

It was everywhere! 😂😂

[@mazcolyer1972]

Oh leigh your 2 videos today involving disaster with water 😂

[@NickyandLeigh]

It wasn’t very lucky both times! 😂😂😂

[@mazcolyer1972]

@NickyandLeigh it sure wasn't but luck is near I can feel it

[@marysparks6653]

Leigh you made me smile with the running water 💦 and the bad fish 🐠 smell.

[@shirpom8577]

🤣😂🤣 Baby hilarious bump! Hopefully you had the house liveable before Johnny was born! 😊❤️🤙

[@rebeccaboothe4825]

I wish I lived closer so I could help. I'm a house painter by trade, but I've learned a lot of tricks from contracting.

[@NickyandLeigh]

I wish you lived closer too! But thanks very much for the offer anyway 😃🙌

[@joellenmeek658]

Nothing ever goes easy in construction - or demo. Can’t wait to see the progress and your decision on how to heat the house.

[@tanyabell3881]

Good heavens! Not so Handy Hanni today! It was swell having my lunch and thinking about old, hot, prawn water at the same time. Hanni and Wim - what characters. They really do give you a hard time, Leigh!

[@cindylong638]

Hennie is so gorgeous!!

[@dutchtreasurehunterhankies1262]

His smile , I can tell he's a charmer 😂🥰

[@yraydahernandez7713]

Beautiful johnny is here already we need to see more videos

[@NickyandLeigh]

We’ll do our best but it’s even busier with a baby! 😂

[@lisarussell1010]

Oh I'm so glad it wasn't really a flood! Phew!

[@y.lelivelt2619]

De vloer is behoorlijk scheef,zoals je ziet hoe het water zijn weg zoekt door de kamer heen.

[@zekehanscom5869]

Get another pan , rotate them and then dump them out the window! You could also collect the water in your shop vac.

[@howardwest1347]

The nether regions of the Netherlands!!!! lol Leigh you are so funny. You are always picking on your friends . It’s a good thing they all understand you. Love your enthusiasm

[@solvitplumbing]

air to water is the best one ......

[@SylviaSchenkelsvan57]

Always start with the lowest radiator! Then there will be no more water in the other ones! I've got electric flootheating, that's mutch better than the one on gas! When you have solarpannels on your roof, they provide enough to run for your floorheating!

[@NickyandLeigh]

Awesome, thanks for letting us know! 😃

[@SylviaSchenkelsvan57]

@@NickyandLeigh a bit to late, the damage is already done..😘🤪

[@metelgodful]

You should have a bunch of towels to help soak up that water off that floor and don't just let it sit there or your going to have more things to replace always when doing any type of plumbing you should have a bunch of towels buckets if the bucket doesn't fit under there use a smaller pan and dump it into the bucket that way your not making 90 trips and the water not going everywhere

[@ritadonovan6606]

Hi I've have alreadseen this video. I so would love to see more of the house and your beautiful baby before he gets too old 🤗🫂🇨🇦

[@josephcormier5974]

Every time Henny comes over he gets bloody 😂 if I was him I'd be on my gard all day. Excellent video awesome content thank you for sharing this with us six stars my friends

[@dutchtreasurehunterhankies1262]

😂😂

[@kathyscheiman2715]

Oh by the way, the receptacle you were catching water in is not a plate 😮 or a frying pan 😂 but a sauce pan. Nikki give him some lessons in kitchen cookware, please.

[@ellyvandenakker1668]

Yes that water is rotten egg smell. 🤣Fun to watch still. I had a flot in my kitchen at 1.30 at night because a thing broke down. Clean water still.

[@bonniemcdaniel8]

use 2 pots instead of just 1. And you can also toss the water out the door right there.

[@gormnordman6980]

How it`s going, i have follow this "fixing upper" and bin there, done that several times. I living in my house number six. And now i live in a house bulidt in 1813, authentic... Timber walls and old floors... Love it. (sorry for my broken engelish)

[@lisawatson7696]

I live in a property that is electric only. When we have a power cut, I have no hot water or heating. I think solar panels are the best option.

[@loriblanken9]

You really like playing with water both episodes 🤣😂🤣😂❤️

[@hobbyist7688]

all that water !!!! you should throw a magnet in it !!

[@oges74]

Prawns at Christmas 🤤

[@BrianForbes-uw6hx]

Quite the job removing the heaters that were still full of water. Glad to see that the progress so far.

[@LozzaG_0215]

Keep up the great work! I have binged watch all your videos here and bondi treasure in 6 days, and ive ran out! 😂 im sad ive got nothing to watch! Have to be patient 😅 send best wishes from UK ❤

[@tinamakaneole]

I would love to help, wish I were there. 😮

[@silviaB.LL3921]

Hello Leigh and Nicky 😊 Good luck and finish the house soon, I wish you both all the best.👍😎🇪🇦

[@veronicawebber5802]

Another leg on the journey!! Wonder if you’ll be in the house for Johnny’s 1st birthday? 😅😂

[@Tatia146]

The trouble with deciding on the heating is that you cannot guess what the prices will be in the future. We were planning on underfloor electric heating but now the electricity is so expansive. Heat pumps installed would cost 10.000€ but wont work in really cold weather. We live in Finland. Solar power wont give enough power. It is a conundrum.

[@NickyandLeigh]

It really is difficult to decide what to do, we’d like to have solar panels in the future so electric floor heating sounds pretty good 😃

[@petrabrunia1543]

Gebruik electriciteit. Met zonnepanelen kom je dan een eind.

[@Wannaridebikes]

In my days. We go to the base to release the pressure and water will drain into base,ent from pressure then unbolting the radiator. It less to pour out water.

[@NickyandLeigh]

We let the lowest radiator drain out into the toilet but there was still a lot of water left! We didn’t expect it as you can tell 😂

[@Wannaridebikes]

@@NickyandLeigh right yeah. We used a bin from a cement tray to catch all the water. But at times it will flow where you don’t think it will. Good luck on you home improvements

[@laurentsannier4366]

Bonjour a tous pas encore fini votre belle maison

[@kittylou22]

eek! 😬 in my experience, you get a plumber to drain the central heating system using a pump… never mind 😅

[@SIG442]

Did you close off the water itself? If not then it can easily keep running depending on how they were constructed. 14:23 That brown metal thing there, you have one upstairs as well. So I'm guessing the one upstairs is empty, if it is it could possibly be removed saving space. I however strongly advice to get a professional in on it and not to mess with it on your own!

[@sebastianmichaux1439]

Hi guys! I´m from Argentina, and i do enjoy your videos. The way that all of you work together seems to be a game betwen friends. I´d love to meet you all some day! yiiiiuuu🤙

[@suecolclough1268]

Hi ya have ya managed to finish your new home yet🤟❤love watching this 🎉

[@jerryeng17]

no need to be discourage.. have faith in your own house...will be worth it

[@user-oy1vk8mh1x]

Is look into ductless for heating/ac if that’s an option where you are. Keep up the good work

[@OjMackarel]

Hello when possible can you all have Nicky sister Flori make at least a cameo appearance she is a hoot . Leigh baby bump and Henny comparison funny .

[@NickyandLeigh]

I’ll let her know 😃🤙🤙

should have took wall out around stairs, and turned stairs around, so you didnt have to shut door before being able to use stairs,

[@lisarussell1010]

Ohhhh noooooo....I spoke too soon!!!!!

[@grahampickering1560]

That water was as black as the water in the canal at the collab a couple of years ago mate!

[@NickyandLeigh]

It really was! 😅

No heatwave in Ireland yet😂😂

[@mickeysrccrawl]

Here in Denmark we closes for the water out near the sidewalk or between that and the house. But good luck with everything Leigh and Nicky. Best from Denmark

Ohh Geeze!! What a mess!! I wondered how you managed with your house renovations. I hope you will show more. I would love to see more of the baby too!!😊

[@NickyandLeigh]

Well definitely show more! We’ve just been so busy but we’re filming the whole process so more videos are coming 😃🏡

you have to call for reinforcements, if you continue like this it will take forever 🏡🙈

[@mayam1141]

Good luck with the mold after that 😅

[@saintsefo4763]

Hi, Nicky, Leigh and Hannie. First of all, I'm surprised you didn't cap off all but one of those radiator pipes (leaving one with a hose attached to an outside drain). Anyway, you've got all the radiators out and that's the important thing. Btw, when you were carrying the first lot of radiators out, I thought I saw an extra room to the left. A closer look revealed it was just a reflection in the mirror that was leaning against the wall 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for sharing 👍

[@NickyandLeigh]

We did drain the radiators before but clearly not everything came out 😂

[@saintsefo4763]

@NickyandLeigh To be fair, I only knew about the capping thing due to a similar but very much worse experience 🌊🤦‍♂️ while helping friends remove all the old radiators from a 2-storey house.

[@rb67mustang]

Leigh, don't any of the windows open?

[@NickyandLeigh]

No! 😂I think the old owners got robbed one time and they went a little overboard to make sure it wouldn't happen again. 🤯

[@Sdal2593]

That was my thought. On the plus side, he got his steps in.

[@c.phillips7728]

Hey you two! I haven't seen a house update in about a month! Okay, I know that Leigh is out magnet fishing, and the baby is certainly a priority, but what's going on with the house?

[@nancey858]

love watching u guys..could get a good buck at scap yard for throse radiaters

[@kayb4734]

Oh man! What a mess! Feel for y'all. 🤦

[@mnicholl93]

There will always be some water held in radiators even if the system has been drained, that, as you saw, may only show itself when 2 fittings have been opened, to allow the air through it. Anyone else trying to do the same with their heating system, leave the hose attached to the drain point & with the drain open as you disconnect the radiators so that when the air gets into the system from the opened fittings, the released water can flow out of the hose rather than all over the floor!!!😂 If you struggled with the smell of radiator water, despite all your canal water experience, wait until you have to do anything with the kitchen sink waste pipes!!!! If you're thinking electric heating then definitely look at both heat pumps & solar panels, get the most possible for free 😊

[@mandywhitton]

Why did you not turn off water from mains water

[@alanatolstad4824]

Henny, in America, they'd say that paunch "is paid for"!

[@bridgwll]

I am laughing with Hanni.

[@jeffscott4355]

We had hot water radiators in a house once. I vouch for the smelly water in them. Lol

[@NickyandLeigh]

It smells so bad 😂

[@billybonesthepirate2025]

is that hot coffee it was a joke.

[@rayjaypaulsen]

What's the grate on the floor when you leat the house? To trap dirt?

[@brilog69]

What are you going to do for heat, Leigh? No smell a vision?

[@MyOtherNick]

Imagine leaving christmas dinner leftovers in the bin on a warm summer day?? We don't have such christmasses here, dude!

[@mennoboon8037]

Keeping a surprise whats going to happen with the house im curious though😂

[@tokeknook8634]

Ik vraag me af wanneer jullie beginnen met opbouwen. Het enige wat jullie tot nu toe gedaan hebben is slopen.

[@Karime70]

I have faith that that house is going to be beautiful when you're done with the👷‍♂️ remodel😅

[@janettinkler2204]

I thought henny was a restorer 🤔 he’s more of a demolisher 😂😂😂
