I vote that we overthrow the system. I don't even know what this podcast is about yet but I vote that we overthrow the system.

Eirlyn

It's just been posted and haven't started yet but fuck that guy for what this podcast is probably going to be about. You both deserve better than this knob.

Mr Rebecca

Daniel told me to name the audio file and give it a title - I didn't know what to call it so I put 'Blergh', expecting him to change it! I'm sorry it's such a rubbish and unhelpful title D: Also something that only dawned on me after we recorded - no one from the council ever checked the noise level from the building site.

I work in construction and am often the youngest person on site (anywhere from 20-120 people) unless there's an apprentice who'll be about 16-18 and I'm 27 the building trade is 90% 45-80 year olds

Georgina Ivey

I am about halfway through but I had to pause just to say 1. I am so sorry you are having to go through this and 2. Omg a savings account for your pets is a fucking genius idea. Thank you for the advice! X

Daddy Driffill

The boring bit? You complaining is the highlight of all the podcasts so far! I am so invested in this arc of the anime

Alex

If you don't mind me saying, you and Dan both seem muddled about the timeline here (which is entirely understandable, you've been in this mindfuck for wel over a year now.) But it might be worth sitting down together when you can and getting a full timeline down on paper as best as you can with what you remember and photos Rebecca has taken etc. Even if it's not 100% accurate because you're remembering stuff from a year ago, it could be a useful resource to refer back to and give to lawyers and stuff.

Alex

Also, could it be worth trying to organise stuff with some other people in your village? If they're also affected by the noise you might be able to sue him as a group. This is pure guesswork on my part, I have no idea how it works but you might not have to fight this entirely on your own.

Milo Steggles

Would you consider upping the minimum pledge to £2? Double the income from Patreon and I’d like to think that we’d all be happy to help out with that extra pound

Georgina Ivey

Maybe you could subtly suggest that the reason it's taking so long is that the builders your neighbor has hired are trying to get as much money as possible out of him. Also that they are willing to work illegal hours so they can get paid overtime or something? It might sit in his brain and fester... Then he might want to the work to speed up or the builders to only work certain hours. Also it might be worth looking into (if you can) if these builders are cash in hand or actually legitimate. If they are willing to work illegal hours where the other people you mentioned (that had arguments with your neighbor) weren't there is I high chance they are cash in hand. I hope it is sorted soon.

Daddy Driffill

Your efficiency has absolutely exploded, the pressure of having to do a weeks work in a few days has crushed your efficiency until it became diamonds and once this is all over you’re going to be releasing 3 videos and 2 podcasts a day, 1 feature film a week and 2 full length TV shows a month

Ethan PT7

I'm sorry you two have had to deal with the awful guy next door. That really sucks! In regard to the possible legal proceedings, are you able to recover your legal costs? I know you said that you don't want money from it and you just want him to cooperate. But is that something you can do in the UK? That way maybe you could get the initial expense back.

Daddy Driffill

OH GOD HES NAKED, I ONLY JUST PUSHED THE IMAGE OUT OF MY HEAD OF HIM HAVING GLITTERY SEX AFTER READING REBECCAS OLD TWEETS

Ethan Pender

I'm so sorry this is still going on. I don't wanna say I enjoy hearing how it's going but I appreciate the updates and I'm sending good vibes cause that's all I can really do. Yall are doing great, despite the shit situation. This will not last forever

Ethan Pender

Well I'm glad it's Simpsons hit and run, I finish work around 7 hours after the stream starts and I'll be able to watch most of the stream!

Cédrick

You might benefit from getting those highway noise-cutting walls built as around your house at this point. Also, I want to say how much I really appreciate Dan's content. He's by far my favorite TikTok influencer.

Well Read Nomad

On an unrelated note, I finally worked out how to up my pledge without choosing a new tier! Yay!

Milo Steggles

Another thought regarding the price increase I suggested earlier. What about running a Patreon wide poll on the matter? If you don’t get a % saying yes then don’t do it but if they say yes then at least you’ve got everyone’s views

BigTurbo530D

Have you both considered complaining to the local government ombudsman about the lack of action from the council, I’m not sure how quick the process would be for you in the area you live in but they’ll inform the council that they’re investigating the handling of complaints in regards to building work and the council are more likely to take action to help so that they don’t get fined for lack of action, it shouldn’t come to this point at all but not sure what else can be done

Bjorn van Rijszen

Anybody got Steve's number? I'm asking because I'm definitely NOT going to ask Steve for Big Frank's number. (That's called plausible deniability. Take notes, kids!)

Lewis

Rebecca, have you considered using the Relay UK App to contact people when it is difficult to speak to them? You can message them via a relay assistant instead of speaking to them directly.

Nathan (Mixter_Chestnut)

I've apprecaited you's showing the art prints through those art print reveal vids for say those that are not on that teir but still might like to see the lovely art! I'd really like to see maybe a catch up of the prints + some peeps may be wondering how to like order them in a folder or somethin which another vid like that could be good for (whenever you feel like ofc)

Ross Stewart

Is it possible to find out the contractor the guy is going through and then contact them?? Might be the only way around it??

Milz Bowden

I just want to say, I'm listening to this while I'm waiting for my partner to go into labor. In the hospital.

Dayna & Ryn

There is absolutely no reason in hell that your neighbour can justify being as much of a cunt as he is! You guys are literal saints for not resorting to property damage, arson and/or physical violence, as I can guarantee that few people would have such restraint in your position.

Sebastian Kozlowski

This situation is such a shit show and I am impressed you've held it together and not murdered that man. My car window just got smashed yesterday and I already feel like killing someone, all they took was a couple quid in change, not even the radio or dashcam...

COUNTERPOINT

I'm only 10 minutes in and I can't believe how bad this is for you guys. What the hell is this guy building that requires more heavy machinery after 16 months, or whatever?! It sounds like the neighbour has no plan about what he's doing (despite the council needing to see a plan to give him permission) and he keeps changing his mind coupled with the fact he's building things and tearing it down again! It sounds like he has no clue what he's doing and the council should probably at least be investigating what he's doing because he's potentially changed what was in his original planning application a dozen times already!! I'm sorry there is no easy help available. Edit: When the work is completed, if they move children in, maybe Dan should just run around shouting "FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" until they decide to keep the children indoors.... just putting it out there into the universe....

Emma Goodall

I am so sorry that things just seem to be never ending and it is such a rollercoaster for you both. I hope the legal side can help and things start and get better soon as it has gone on for too long. Rebecca please don't be sorry about reporting back negative updates, I am sorry that it is negative updates at the moment but thank you so much for keeping us updated. We are all here for both of you like you have both been for all of us over the years. Giving you both virtual hugs and joining Daniel in making fart noises with my hands as that made me laugh. I also really can't wait for the Simpsons hit and run stream and Rebecca I hope you are able to stream soon. I am looking forward to the future prints and it is so good to hear that they make you happy in doing them still XX

Darythe Hill

“Once every seven years.” Is Dan a Vulcan, perhaps? Also, this is the first Patreon podcast that I’ve been able to listen to in a very long time. I am so very sorry to hear that things have not been going well, but thank you so much for generating all that content that brings a little bit more joy into my life. I hope that the little bit of joy that you give me knowing that, brings a little bit of joy to you .

John Wicks

It may be worth finding out who your local mp is and sending them a letter can’t guarantee it would help but it may be worth a shot

Alex Ty

Neighbours fuckin suck

Alex Ty

Maybe this is weird but listening to these while I paint is my break and rest from my asshole neighbour (and also helping me understand how this shit is effecting me because of being neurodivergent). Always enjoy the podcasts/streams with the both of you. Hope you're both doing the best you can be with your current situation

aenc48

Try looking into a site called crowd justice, that could be an avenue for looking at funding any legal routes. Sending lots of love 💜

LinMac

Apparently the local council 'has a duty to investigate noise from a building project if it is deemed to be damaging to health or a nuisance, know as a statutory nuisance' the council can issue them with a 'noise abatement' order. If someone breaks the abatement, they can fined up to £5,000. From wards.uk.com/news/neighbours-building-work-ruining-life/ With this kind of thing in Ireland, contacting local councilors definitely helps bring more attention to the issue and hopefully deem it 'more important ' so it will be dealt with. Even though that is obviously ridiculous to begin with. Much love to you both.

Poisonadder1

I know it's a small detail but it's clearly evidence of incompetence. Getting 6 pieces of plasterboard/drywall delivered at once isn't enough to keep a single builder occupied for even a morning.
