Hi, we are Bec, Sam, Isabella & Euan. After selling our house in the UK & travelling Europe in a motorhome for 10 months, we have bought a derelict farm in Ireland. We are keen to try and live an off grid life, free from debt whilst bringing the farm back to its former glory. We are doing this on a very tight budget and plan on doing as much of the work ourselves.
Please follow along on our journey...we need all the support we can get!
This week, we discuss our change of mind regards layout and we attempt to stabilise the barn walls.

Come on people…..help them by clicking ‘like’! 75% are currently watching and not liking. This is a great channel, hard skilled work, great filming and editing, lovely family, super animals and TOBY! What’s not to like?

@daviddjerassi Месяц назад

YES YOU ARE BANG ON Heather a great channel deserves 110% likes .

@susanschultz1762 Месяц назад

I always click like as soon as the video starts because I know I'm going to like it. ALSO, I understand if you comment, You Tube will bring the video to more people. I always comment.

@cdh2328 Месяц назад

So much effort goes into constant filming and editing! The very least we can all do is LIKE every time you click on. A (kind) comment also helps!

@SonyaTucker Месяц назад

I totally agree that this is a great channel great content, what's not to give then the thumbs up, they so deserve it, as I've really seen some shocking channels that get more thumbs up than these amazing people. Hit the thumbs up straight from the beginning you will not be disappointed I promise❤😊

Recently discovered you after recommendation from Louise and Emily (Campervibe). Fascinating watching your hard work and progress on this project. My wife was born on a farm in Bandon, Co.Cork and moved to the UK when she was 3 years old. Took her there a few years ago to see the old farm house and thought that it would be wonderful to purchase the place and do it up for her but it wasn't to be. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next episode.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Aww what a lovely thought Ireland is such a beautiful place to live. We feel so grateful. Such a shame you weren't able to get it.

@carolefranks5489 Месяц назад

Nice surprise to see a vlog this morning! You're making brilliant progress. The stonework is looking fantastic. The new plan works so much better and I love the idea for a stone walled courtyard. Roses do so well in an Irish garden. My late Nan's little bit of garden had every old tin bucket or trough from the farm filled with dahlias, geraniums and roses. It was simple but beautiful. Definitely use that old kettle! You'll also notice many front gardens with huge Aran lily bushes. I introduced my 85 yr old Irish Dad to your channel yesterday and he found it really interesting. He was identifying all the old contraptions you were finding about the place. 'Good luck to them' he said. 😊

@annemarietopham8495 Месяц назад

I'm so proud of you all ... I've been watching you since the first blog .... having had à similar expérience to you in SW France in the '90s with a ruined stone house (Quercy Blanc stones - magic !!!)

'been there, done it' ... that's why I'm so proud of you 'cause I feel it ..... and, YES, I agree with a former comment (sorry, I've forgotten you name😔 ... you ARE watching out there so for heav en's sake tick the like buttons ...

Good morning Bec’s and lovely family 😍 So no nice hearing Toby and how is he 🤔 Mid week video fantastic 👍🏻 Sam working so hard clearing that floor and end walks no wonder he was pooped 🙄 Great that Sam will save those window shutters 😀 love the new changes to. Take care love Stevie xx

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Hi Stevie. Toby is doing well, thanks. Sam has really been working his socks off this week. 💪♥️

@FrederickNurse Месяц назад

You are doing great with concrete pillars but if you have short bits of rebar try driving or drilling them into the existing walls as an extra tie in the original wall just a suggestion but you are doing great most enjoyable for an old builder/roofer with fifty years experience great memories for me.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thanks, I spent quite abit of time last night fitting lots of rebar with chemfix resin, thankyou for your wisdom it gives me such a confidence boost that I'm doing ok

@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh Месяц назад

We'll just rename you "Sam the Digger" since you couldn't borrow/rent one. When you build that cavity in the bedroom, build another next to it and put in a walk-in closet for Becky. Sam, you've done an amazing amount of work this week. If they don't know what a "poker" is, take heart. I often go into my hardware store and ask for a "doohicki" or a "what-cha-ma-call-it" and then spend at least 15 minutes describing what it's supposed to do! Blessed Be!

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thanks Abigail. A walk in wardrobe would be great but not sure we will have the space now we are in the small room. Hopefully they don't burst out laughing when he asks for a vibrating poker! 🫣🤣

Is it Saturday already? Take care of your back Sam - that's a serious lot of heavy work in a day.

Becs I too was thinking of a stone trim to the courtyard. So many opportunities to dress it up French style. Ideal design for the new living quarters.

@cathyblackhall5237 Месяц назад

Well done,👏🏻 I’d say this has been one of your best vlogs yet.😊The two of you have become so much more confident in front of the camera (far less er ums)and your editing etc is much smoother.I love the way you explain what you’re doing clearly and with humour and without waffling for ages or patronising the viewer,unlike some vlogs I also watch and fast forward in places 😂 I also like that you don’t put fake situations in that are supposedly funny ,you are sarcastic and have a natural appreciation of wryly humourous moments that’s very Manc.I never thought I’d enjoy learning so much about stonework,I’m even inspired to make a raised bed with stones here in Stockport 🙈

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thanks Cathy. I feel very chuffed with that message. So glad you find us normal and watchable. I often compare us to other channels and cringe over my terrible editing skills, but to hear that makes me not feel too bad about our little channel. Much appreciated. Bec ♥️

Amazing work. We moved into a 1700’s stone farmhouse last year, the only heating is the Rayburn in the kitchen and a log burner in the sitting room, there’s no double glazing on the back windows, there are no radiators or underfloor heating and I can honestly say this is the warmest house I’ve ever lived in. Don’t underestimate how much heat stone holds once it’s warmed up - the whole house is a storage heater. Mind you we don’t have any insulation, so that might impact things. We are reluctant to modernise it! Love the living room ideas and I don’t know if you had a Rayburn before, but you are going to LOVE it!!!

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Aww thanks this is great to hear. I'm so excited for my farmhouse kitchen. A dream come true that will be. I really wanted it to be the cosy hub of the house and hopefully that is what it will be by the sounds of it. ♥️

It's so exciting to see your progress, and this week you've really done a heck of a lot. Just make sure you take decent breaks. If you go too hard and fast, you'll run out of steam, and then it'll take a while to get going again. The chickens are obviously the site inspectors, and Toby is the CEO 😂

Yes we can't wait either. That will feel so much more in my comfort zone.

Great idea to switch around the rooms, it's going to be great!!!! And Sam, as for you being lazy in the winter and using oil, no one could ever accuse of being lazy. You are such a hard worker, both you and Rebecca continue to put so much into this build. Well done guys, keep up the excellent work

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thank you. Mind you this build may cripple me and oil will be an easy option as opposed to chopping logs. 🤣

@petpilgrimgoose Месяц назад

Well done guys! Love the stone/courtyard idea. See how nice it looks with the cottage natural, NOT painted white...I hope you change your mind about painting yours outside. Please leave it the stone---It's lovely!

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thanks. It's such a difficult one as traditionally in Ireland they were lime plastered. We plan on leaving it stone though and seeing how it goes

@heatherlaird-mcleod3271 Месяц назад

Love the idea of the new lounge, the door ways with new lentils would look great as glass windows, lots of warm light to warm the room up. Well done😊

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes it was important for us to add as much light in as possible. Hopefully it will also increase the light in the kitchen too. Thanks b

Hello Toby, Hello Mr Rooster 🤗 Some exciting plans ahead! You are so close to having one connected building. Fantastic progress with each day and then the rain! ♥

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Luckily the rain only lasted a day so we are still on track. I cannot wait to knock through into the kitchen. 👍

@polh6462 Месяц назад

@@theirishhomestead I'm soooooo looking forward to that moment too!!

Your courtyard dream will come true, look what you've done so far! My goodness that picture is everything I've ever dreamed of in a garden, to look that way! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖

Thank you so much Jackie. I just hope I can recreate it. 🤞♥️

That's back breaking work, I see Toby has found his voice.👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes he's a bit more like himself again now thankfully. But he is definitely quieter at night which is great for everyone 😉

@susanjackson1307 Месяц назад

Hi, that's the great thing about plans they can always be changed when better dreams come along. Keep up the great work.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

So true! And are likely to change again 🤣Thank you

@heatherlee1128 Месяц назад

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thanks. Hopefully the shutter will work. 🤞

@peterdowden7694 Месяц назад

Clever to concrete the corner gradually from the bottom working up ... if you box right up then pour it in from the top the pressure of the liquid concrete often blows out the bottom boxing/shuttering/formwork

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes Sam was on it with that as to be fair I'd have done it the other way and probably stuffed it up.

@Rebeca-sd1md Месяц назад

Wow! Well done! It's exhausting work, but you'll be so happy with the end result 💖🏆

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes! Thank you! Cannot wait for that day to come right now. Its been hard graft today. ♥️

@eileendeshpande5902 Месяц назад

It’s looking absolutely amazing! You are really making fantastic progress and I love hearing about the room layout and making a herb garden with the beautiful stones! So exciting! Can’t wait to see it all! And it will! You are doing fabulous!! ❤️❤️

Thank you so much! I cannot wait for that to be done. Sadly not for a long while yet.

@andrewmaiden3738 Месяц назад

Hi, Good to see you making progress. I don't know how far the vlog is from the current progress but a thought occurs to me that it may be a good idea to put some reinforcing bar vertically in the pillar formation that will not only strengthen the pillar but would lend itself to tie into the ringbeam when you get to that! Keep up the great work.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thanks. We did that at the last minute. Hopefully you will see it on tomorrow's video.

@daviddjerassi Месяц назад

OMG what an ending to so many days hard work i love your Ideas / Dreams it will be beautiful just like your nature Bec and crew xx.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Aww thank you David. ♥️

@AnneNiM-ni3fx Месяц назад

Lots of Irish cottages had half doors, you should consider one in the kitchen as the back door or even in thecsitting room. Very traditional and you can have the top half open on nice days without worrying thst every cat, dog, chicken, donkey and other will wander in.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Oh yes I definitely want a stable door on there! That had always been my dream. A stone cottage with a stable door! I'll be in heaven.

@susanlohan7806 Месяц назад

Amazing progress this week! Love your new layout & plans for the courtyard garden. You will all enjoy the views & importantly, any late night tv viewing is banished to the most distant corner of the house.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes it was definitely the better choice. I think once we were working in the space renovating it you start to get more of a feel for how the layout would work day to day.
