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.
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 🙂
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 UA-cam! Cheers 👍🏻🙂
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
Tom from Melbourne, Australia. Originally from the UK, love the work guys! Nothing more rewarding than DIY! Just done a small reno over here - nowhere near on your level though! Look forward to seeing the final video
I’m from Saudi, I’m here because I love interior design and home renovation. Can’t wait to see the end of this lovely journey. All the best Nicky and Harri
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.
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 UA-cam 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👍🏻
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.
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!
@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! If you guys are ever up sunny North wales way give us a shout & we can compare paint samples over a drink!
Hey - proud mama of Nicky from Guildford! I LOVE the stairwell - what a transformation! It's going to look unreal when the carpets are in place. The 2nd bedroom looks really cosy too. I'm super impressed with Harri's plastering. Surely that's a skill that takes years to perfect! Although you two make me laugh pretty much all the way through, I have to say my favourite part is 12:09! 😂😂xxx
Hi Mama 👋🏻👋🏻 thank you!! Carpets are getting fitted on Thursday which is CRAZY exciting! We’re giving plastering a go in the outhouse this week too which should be interesting 🤣🤣 🤞🏼❤️
Georgi here from Bedford. I am the one want to start own property renovation business so find out how useful are your videos. Outside that you r such a cute couple, it's a such a pleasure always to see young people involve in something constructive. Keep the excellent job!!
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 😊
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
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!
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 💪🏻
Rob from his van again 😂 I don't watch alot of renos but do watch you cuz I love u guys 🎉 From the van builds to this house your attention to detail is 🔥🔥
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 , I'm Traci Moved from Cambridgeshire to St Louis Missouri back in 2002 . Have done some renos here . Love watching your content . The house looks great .
Sam, 30 from Bolton. We completed our first Reno around 2 and half years ago and I told the Mrs that was it and we are never moving, anyway, fast forward to now and we are just waiting for a completion date for our farmhouse in the country with land and barns. Basically our dream home and yes, it needs quite a bit of work. But we are so excited to move in and get started. Will probs be mid December. We can’t wait
Wow Sam!! That is SO EXCITING. What you’ve described is literally our dream home too! looking forward to hearing how you get on with it!! and I have to say, DIY can get very addictive can’t it 🤣🤣
I’m Helle from Denmark. Love to see how creative home renovations can be. You two are a really cute couple and funny couple. Your home is looking better by the minute as I watch 🇩🇰👍🥰🎄❤️
Hey I’m Harald from bc Canada, my girlfriend and I built out a short bus so Ofcors UA-cam, been fallowing you guys gurney since. I was born in England “Gloucester” and have always been interested in the “so different architecture” renovations carpentry bus builds is what I love to do and see others do. You guys do a good job and are very entertaining. I hope to visit the mother country soon ✌️
Thanks very Harald. Awesome to hear you guys built out a short bus as well and are enjoying the series so far! Our New video coming out in the next hour to get you fully up to date with our DIY Ventures, hope you get to visit the mother country soon :)
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.
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 🤪☺️
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!!!
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 🤗
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 😀
29 from Northampton in the early stages of buying a home with my partner which needs lots of work. Found you by searching for home renovation for 30K. Great to get inspiration on what to do and how to do it! Also nice to see it can be done 😅
I'm loving staircase. I can't wait to see what the carpets look like. I'm from brum and love DIY. I've done alot of my own home and really enjoy watching others being brave and succeeding. Well done guys, you're very inspiring 🎉
Hi from Manitoba, Canada. You two are funny & cute 😊. I am old enough to be your parents 🤭 I am interested in a great before and after. We have done our own Reno’s in the two homes we’ve owned. I also started to do furniture flipping myself. Our current home still needs updating with some paint as the major renovations have been finished. We hired out for that. As I am older I am not as keen to do the heavy work, lol. I love watching younger people because your energy and cool ideas ❤
Hi just caught your video ... I am Srini from Dublin, Ireland. Loved watching your video !!! keep up with the great content !!! Looking forward to seeing more in your journey.
hey up you two . very well done on the refurb . love the staircase ,i have panelling in my master bedroom and the lounge and am now considering it on the staircase myself . i work in construction day in day out (i,m a joiner )and all i do is refurbs on various properties. so to see you two (with either little or close to no experience )well what can i say ...brilliant guys
Hey up 👋🏻 we always find it fascinating when people in the trade enjoy watching us bums attempt it ourselves 🤣 there must be so many ‘head in your hands’ moments for you when you watch😭 thank you for being over here and DEFO do the panelling on the staircase!
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
Happy Sunday Harley 🥳 thank you! We used dulux’s Egyptian cotton again - we love that darn paint - seems like we’ve used it everywhere!! We love that you feel inspired to do your own projects too- that’s exactly why we love doing what we do!! oooo we can’t wait to show you what we’ve decided on for the staircase!! See you in two Sundays time ☺️🥰🤪
Hi there, MJ from south east Wiltshire, I was just watching and I caught your couple DIY renovation videos it’s good watch you both renovating bang on job and subscribe to your channel. Yeah I do love DIY work technically I’m also renovating my home walls by myself not like professional but saving some money 😅 👍🏼 ⚒️
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 😊
Hey Red, thanks for checking in again! Can’t be happy with you though- as that paint peeling off was the Bain of our bloody lives, so it kills us that you enjoyed that bit! 🤣 Think thats where everyone’s DIY journey begins, with their dad putting up shelves- I’ve got some fond memories of that too! We’ll see you in the next vid and hopefully bring you some more laughs at our expense! 🤣
@@NickyandHarri In all seriousness, it's important to celebrate the highs while pointing out the lows. I just thought it was funny that most people complain about the boredom of "watching paint dry" while you had footage of the reverse. You'll laugh about it come Christmas 😉
Diana from Bucharest, currently based in Dublin. Renovating my house at the moment, my 4th DIY renovation project and watching your content as I’m getting plenty of inspiration from you guys :) And you’re also super funny.
From London - reminding myself why I'm getting someone in next time. lol. There comes a time when you will run away from the sight of a ladder. Counting down to it.
Thanks Wayne, we’ve loved having you on for the journey! Great to hear you’re going to give the panelling a go/ can’t wait to show you any future projects we have! 🤗👍🏻
Hi there. Colette ex-londoner living in rep of Ireland 🇮🇪. Trying to sort our house out. Presently re-doing back toliet as we call it and what was separate utility room to a boot room, with new toliet and sink, flooring, tongue and groove feature wall, paint and all the practical stuff, mirror, cupboard and accessories too that I brought over the years in preparation for this. Love your UA-cam channel ❤.
Hi Colette, sounds like you’ve got a decent project on your hands there, best of luck with it! Sounds like you’ve got it all under control though. 🙂 We’re glad you love the channel- we’ll make sure we keep bringing out content. Thanks for checking in! 💙🙌🏻
We are Lou & Kieran from Bournemouth! Have lived in our 1970s bungalow 4 years ago and did it up to sell, then covid happened and the market crashed, we are also currently on a good rate so have decided to stay and do the bungalow up to our taste!
Hey Lou and Kieran, thanks for checking in! Hope you’re enjoying doing up your bungalow, we’re right nosey buggers so make sure to send us over a photo on Instagram of how the renovation is going! 🙂
Karl from Bradford, followed you since your channel was in its infancy, love this series so far, keep smashing it guys. P.S love all your van builds especially the Luton. 💚
Hey guys! My name is Leah and I'm a nurse/musician. I Absolutely love watching your journey, me and my partner bought our first home in Stockport two years ago now! When we got the house it was in desperate need of updating. Although at times it's been disheartening because all the things we would love to have and try costs so much money! Anyways I've been so inspired watching you plaster your staircase because it's something I've been wanting to give a go for agessss ... but everytime I mention it to any of the adults in my life they shake their heads in horror! Haha We're both the sort to get stuck in and try, do you have any tips? THANKYOU FOR THE PUSH! (Your home is bloody beautiful btw, loved this tysm)
Hey Leah!👋🏻 thank you for watching along! You’re so right - everything ends up costing so much!! It’s hard to find fun DIY hacks that don’t cost too much. haha it’s funny you say that about plastering because EVERYONE around us has said the same - but we want to give the whole outhouse a crack at plastering this week 🤣 we’ll let you know how it goes 🤞🏼 thanks for commenting - it’s so good to hear your story and put actual people to the ‘views’ we get on our videos! Xx
Ah amazing - we’d LOVE to do a Victorian town house one day. Defo on the bucket list! Glad you guys are happy with your results - it’s so satisfying isnt it😍
@@NickyandHarri Ah thought so, the accent was very familiar. Nicky even looks like a person I went to college with called Kim - so if you have a relation of that name that was in Ashford (Surrey) and same age as a Kylie Minogue ish.. Same striking features.
My name is Souad and I live in Birmingham I’ve been myself through à renovation it was a real mess but still hoping to renovate my kitchen in the future
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
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! :)
I am Floyd from Essex in the uk I am a plumber who currently doing my own renovations I have stripped my house back to bare bricks I have so far done the floors and timber wall and plumbing
Lovinnnggg the finishing touches! Looking so close now, how long til you're finished do you think? Is the plan to sell straight away? Emma from Leeds, OG followed since van times and just enjoying watching you guys grow at the DIY skills!
Thanks Emma, always great to see you in the comments (we didn’t know you were from Leeds!) We’re still up in the air about plans but will keep you in the loop as soon as we know, as you know we love being busy on projects! Not long till we’re finished now though, the carpets will add A LOT of the finish. The outhouse -> office project will be a good one to keep us busy though! 🤗👍🏻
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
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 👍🏻
@@NickyandHarri it certainly is ive been at it since 2019 but several delays to it hasnt helped but there are plans to renovate the bathroom and kitchen at some point plus the decorating of hallway and landing and spare room thats in the pipeline
Im Ant live with my partner step kids, our own son and 3 cats. We live in Poole/Bournemouth, I Just bought a house and currently looking at doing a loft converstion in next couple.of years. But short term going to knock the front wall to create a drive way to park the family car on, sort out the garden, install a log burner and enjoy the house
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 :)
My name is Melissa and I am from Nebraska! I am interested in renovations as my husband and I renovated our acreage property home room by room. This past May we finally completed the heart of the home-the kitchen and I love my home!!
Hey Melissa!👋🏻 wow what a great project, and doing it room by room must have felt like a long process! the kitchen really is the heart of the home, we feel like the house is complete now the kitchen is (and that’s defo not the case!!). We’re so glad you love your home!! ❤️
Was really surprised to see you drilling your personal photos to the wall; didn't realise you planned to live in the house. Thought you were just going to flip it.
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!
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! Thanks for checking in and best of luck with all your DIY- see you in the next one!! 👋🏻🙂
Hi my name is Jaqueline I just found you two and you are brilliant I LOVE your home how its coming on you Both are very good at diy I am watching you from Madrid Spain where I live😅
Thanks Jacqueline, we're so glad you're enjoying the content, especially all the way over in Madrid. We've actually never visited Madrid but it's on our list of things to do!
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?
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.
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 👍🏻
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!
I renovated a 3 bedroom, 9 room house in 3 months by myself. I live in Wiconisco Township Pennsylvania USA . Bought the house for $50,000 USD . Its now worth $120,000 USD..

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.

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.

Hi Mama 👋🏻👋🏻 thank you!! Carpets are getting fitted on Thursday which is CRAZY exciting! We’re giving plastering a go in the outhouse this week too which should be interesting 🤣🤣 🤞🏼❤️
Sarah, from Manchester, absolutely loved this series, you’ve done a fab job
Thanks so much Sarah, we’ve loved making the series so far 🤗
Georgi here from Bedford. I am the one want to start own property renovation business so find out how useful are your videos. Outside that you r such a cute couple, it's a such a pleasure always to see young people involve in something constructive. Keep the excellent job!!
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 😊
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
Thank you, we will try to be a bit more brutal on trimming down the fat 😅
Looking forward to your next episode!
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!
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 💪🏻
Rob from his van again 😂
I don't watch alot of renos but do watch you cuz I love u guys 🎉 From the van builds to this house your attention to detail is 🔥🔥
Thanks Rob, always great to see you in the comments. We’re slowly getting there with perfecting our finish- still a long way to go though! 🙂
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 ,
I'm Traci
Moved from Cambridgeshire to St Louis Missouri back in 2002 .
Have done some renos here .
Love watching your content . The house looks great .
Sam, 30 from Bolton. We completed our first Reno around 2 and half years ago and I told the Mrs that was it and we are never moving, anyway, fast forward to now and we are just waiting for a completion date for our farmhouse in the country with land and barns. Basically our dream home and yes, it needs quite a bit of work. But we are so excited to move in and get started. Will probs be mid December. We can’t wait
Wow Sam!! That is SO EXCITING. What you’ve described is literally our dream home too! looking forward to hearing how you get on with it!! and I have to say, DIY can get very addictive can’t it 🤣🤣

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.
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 🤪☺️
Enjoyed the vlog Nicky ,Harri 😊😊😊😊😊
🥰🤗
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!!!
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 🤗
Hi Karen from Norfolk...I do a lot of DIY and take inspiration from channels like yours. Love what you doing..house looks amazing x
Thanks Karen, you’re just a big stones throw away! Glad you’re taking some inspiration from our DIY- thanks for checking in! 🙂 x
I loved Harri's face when you said buttering my biscuits looool
Butterrryyy biscuits- Lmao😆
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 😀
Hi guys Patricia from Ireland am so going to try and copy what you've done to the staircase. Love what you are doing.
29 from Northampton in the early stages of buying a home with my partner which needs lots of work. Found you by searching for home renovation for 30K. Great to get inspiration on what to do and how to do it! Also nice to see it can be done 😅
Awesome, thanks Sarah! Hope you'r enjoying the videos and best of luck with your new home purchase!

Looking good getting good at paneling now nikki, make sure plasters completely dry before painting thats why it peeled off
Hi from Manitoba, Canada. You two are funny & cute 😊. I am old enough to be your parents 🤭 I am interested in a great before and after. We have done our own Reno’s in the two homes we’ve owned. I also started to do furniture flipping myself. Our current home still needs updating with some paint as the major renovations have been finished. We hired out for that. As I am older I am not as keen to do the heavy work, lol. I love watching younger people because your energy and cool ideas ❤
Hi just caught your video ... I am Srini from Dublin, Ireland. Loved watching your video !!! keep up with the great content !!! Looking forward to seeing more in your journey.
hey up you two . very well done on the refurb . love the staircase ,i have panelling in my master bedroom and the lounge and am now considering it on the staircase myself . i work in construction day in day out (i,m a joiner )and all i do is refurbs on various properties. so to see you two (with either little or close to no experience )well what can i say ...brilliant guys
Hey up 👋🏻 we always find it fascinating when people in the trade enjoy watching us bums attempt it ourselves 🤣 there must be so many ‘head in your hands’ moments for you when you watch😭 thank you for being over here and DEFO do the panelling on the staircase!
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
Happy Sunday Harley 🥳 thank you! We used dulux’s Egyptian cotton again - we love that darn paint - seems like we’ve used it everywhere!! We love that you feel inspired to do your own projects too- that’s exactly why we love doing what we do!! oooo we can’t wait to show you what we’ve decided on for the staircase!! See you in two Sundays time ☺️🥰🤪
Thank you so much, I can't wait! ❤x
This Reno is so good wth
Thank you 🙂👍🏻
I just like watching renovations vlogs 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Awesome- thanks Carol! 🤗
Hi there, MJ from south east Wiltshire, I was just watching and I caught your couple DIY renovation videos it’s good watch you both renovating bang on job and subscribe to your channel. Yeah I do love DIY work technically I’m also renovating my home walls by myself not like professional but saving some money 😅 👍🏼 ⚒️
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 😊
Hey Red, thanks for checking in again! Can’t be happy with you though- as that paint peeling off was the Bain of our bloody lives, so it kills us that you enjoyed that bit! 🤣
Think thats where everyone’s DIY journey begins, with their dad putting up shelves- I’ve got some fond memories of that too!
We’ll see you in the next vid and hopefully bring you some more laughs at our expense! 🤣
@@NickyandHarri In all seriousness, it's important to celebrate the highs while pointing out the lows. I just thought it was funny that most people complain about the boredom of "watching paint dry" while you had footage of the reverse. You'll laugh about it come Christmas 😉
Love your content, well done
Thanks Kian 🤗🙌🏻
I’m Michelle from Devon, i too have an ex council house that we are slowly renovating. Lots of tips and ideas from you guys 😀
Hi Michelle 👋🏻 what a gorgeous place to live! awesome!! glad we’re giving you some Inspo! Keep us updated 🥰

Thanks Rubes, so glad you’re enjoying all the videos/ we love making them! Baby Harold 🤣🤣
Diana from Bucharest, currently based in Dublin. Renovating my house at the moment, my 4th DIY renovation project and watching your content as I’m getting plenty of inspiration from you guys :) And you’re also super funny.
Hi Diana! We LOVE Dublin! Wow your 4th project - you really must know what you’re doing now!! Glad you’re enjoying our journey 🥰
Hey! We're Dom and Jess from Sudbury, Suffolk. Also renovating/building a house! Thanks for the inspiration and tips! Love it. 😊
Awesome, hey guys! So exciting 🥰
I'm from France and I'm here for the bants
We LOVE France… here for the bants- love it! (We’ll try be funnier) 🤣
From London - reminding myself why I'm getting someone in next time. lol. There comes a time when you will run away from the sight of a ladder. Counting down to it.
Haha completely know what you mean!! We’re defo getting tired of it😅😂
I love how you guys have so much fun working together, do you ever fight? ❤
We defo do have a little Tiff every now and then! Nothing a cuddle and apology can't solve though!
From Liverpool the panelling looks boss I think il try it on my next project I’m just finishing 1 now, I’ve loved watching your journey
Thanks Wayne, we’ve loved having you on for the journey! Great to hear you’re going to give the panelling a go/ can’t wait to show you any future projects we have! 🤗👍🏻
@@NickyandHarri I hope you do another 1 it gets easier now you’ve made your mistakes
Hi there. Colette ex-londoner living in rep of Ireland 🇮🇪. Trying to sort our house out. Presently re-doing back toliet as we call it and what was separate utility room to a boot room, with new toliet and sink, flooring, tongue and groove feature wall, paint and all the practical stuff, mirror, cupboard and accessories too that I brought over the years in preparation for this.
Love your UA-cam channel ❤.
Hi Colette, sounds like you’ve got a decent project on your hands there, best of luck with it! Sounds like you’ve got it all under control though. 🙂
We’re glad you love the channel- we’ll make sure we keep bringing out content. Thanks for checking in! 💙🙌🏻

We are Lou & Kieran from Bournemouth! Have lived in our 1970s bungalow 4 years ago and did it up to sell, then covid happened and the market crashed, we are also currently on a good rate so have decided to stay and do the bungalow up to our taste!
Hey Lou and Kieran, thanks for checking in! Hope you’re enjoying doing up your bungalow, we’re right nosey buggers so make sure to send us over a photo on Instagram of how the renovation is going! 🙂

Thank you Marc!♥️🥰
Hey guys! My name is Leah and I'm a nurse/musician. I Absolutely love watching your journey, me and my partner bought our first home in Stockport two years ago now! When we got the house it was in desperate need of updating. Although at times it's been disheartening because all the things we would love to have and try costs so much money! Anyways I've been so inspired watching you plaster your staircase because it's something I've been wanting to give a go for agessss ... but everytime I mention it to any of the adults in my life they shake their heads in horror! Haha We're both the sort to get stuck in and try, do you have any tips? THANKYOU FOR THE PUSH! (Your home is bloody beautiful btw, loved this tysm)
Hey Leah!👋🏻 thank you for watching along! You’re so right - everything ends up costing so much!! It’s hard to find fun DIY hacks that don’t cost too much. haha it’s funny you say that about plastering because EVERYONE around us has said the same - but we want to give the whole outhouse a crack at plastering this week 🤣 we’ll let you know how it goes 🤞🏼 thanks for commenting - it’s so good to hear your story and put actual people to the ‘views’ we get on our videos! Xx
Nafisah from Birmingham
It's amazing how you both transform each room and share your tips and tricks.
Thanks so much Nafisah! We’ll keep sharing all the tips and tricks we pick up on the way! 🙂

Old lady living in Cumbria in a Victorian town house that we have spent years renovating and finally happy with the results 😂 love you channel
Ah amazing - we’d LOVE to do a Victorian town house one day. Defo on the bucket list! Glad you guys are happy with your results - it’s so satisfying isnt it😍
Sunbury (near Heathrow). Have always loved a bit of DIY and enjoy watching other peoples hard work and results
Cheers Tracy, not too far from our original base of just outside Windsor. We’ll make sure we keep bringing you plenty of DIY! 🙂
@@NickyandHarri Ah thought so, the accent was very familiar. Nicky even looks like a person I went to college with called Kim - so if you have a relation of that name that was in Ashford (Surrey) and same age as a Kylie Minogue ish.. Same striking features.
Eva from County Durham next to the coast 😊 I love watching Reno and seeing them transform a house!! ❤
Hey Eva 👋🏻 we’re in the same boat - we just love watching anything to do with renos and transformations - it’s so addictive!!🤣😍
My name is Souad and I live in Birmingham I’ve been myself through à renovation it was a real mess but still hoping to renovate my kitchen in the future
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
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! :)
I am Floyd from Essex in the uk I am a plumber who currently doing my own renovations I have stripped my house back to bare bricks I have so far done the floors and timber wall and plumbing
You did a great job guys😍😍😍
Lovinnnggg the finishing touches! Looking so close now, how long til you're finished do you think? Is the plan to sell straight away?
Emma from Leeds, OG followed since van times and just enjoying watching you guys grow at the DIY skills!
Thanks Emma, always great to see you in the comments (we didn’t know you were from Leeds!) We’re still up in the air about plans but will keep you in the loop as soon as we know, as you know we love being busy on projects! Not long till we’re finished now though, the carpets will add A LOT of the finish. The outhouse -> office project will be a good one to keep us busy though! 🤗👍🏻
@@NickyandHarri ooh didn't know about the outhouse to office project! Exciting!
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
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 👍🏻
@@NickyandHarri it certainly is ive been at it since 2019 but several delays to it hasnt helped but there are plans to renovate the bathroom and kitchen at some point plus the decorating of hallway and landing and spare room thats in the pipeline
Looking closer to a modern home now ! Good job guys ! How did you stop the paint from peeling?
Thanks so much, nearly there! We couldn’t stop it unfortunately- we had to peel it all back and then paint again! 🙂
Absolutely smashed 🎉 it! Wont bother with the questions, cause you already known the answers 😂 Have a great fortnight guys! ❤
Haha thank you Kit!! See you in two weeks ♥️♥️
Im Ant live with my partner step kids, our own son and 3 cats. We live in Poole/Bournemouth, I Just bought a house and currently looking at doing a loft converstion in next couple.of years.
But short term going to knock the front wall to create a drive way to park the family car on, sort out the garden, install a log burner and enjoy the house
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 :)
Hey I’m Becki, married mum of 2, saving to buy our forever home x
My name is Melissa and I am from Nebraska! I am interested in renovations as my husband and I renovated our acreage property home room by room. This past May we finally completed the heart of the home-the kitchen and I love my home!!
Hey Melissa!👋🏻 wow what a great project, and doing it room by room must have felt like a long process! the kitchen really is the heart of the home, we feel like the house is complete now the kitchen is (and that’s defo not the case!!). We’re so glad you love your home!! ❤️
Was really surprised to see you drilling your personal photos to the wall; didn't realise you planned to live in the house. Thought you were just going to flip it.
Maddy from Chelmsford, currently doing a house renovation, early stages.
Cheers for checking in Maddy! Best of luck 🤞🏻
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!
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!
Thanks for checking in and best of luck with all your DIY- see you in the next one!! 👋🏻🙂
Well done guys
Thanks bud

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?
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.
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 👍🏻
Hi Nicky , Hi Harri 😊

None as far as houses/ but we’ve conveyed a few vans into campervans before, so mainly learning on the go! 🤗
@@NickyandHarri amazing!
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!
