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 stone cottage 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 the work ourselves.
Please follow along on our journey...we need all the support we can get!
This week, more groundworks!

Just discovered your channel. I have a health problem that wakes me up and I can’t go back to sleep so I went back and viewed all of your videos and thoroughly fell in love with all of you. I live in Kansas USA. I’m a fan. I admire your hard work, your work ethic and your ingenuity. Prayers for your family.

The past year has been amazing, the future is bright

@SusanZiegler Месяц назад

I love watching Euan doing adult work. He's a champion!!!

@karem9605 Месяц назад

It is nice to see how he wants to help, now in September school starts in Ireland, and I assumed Euan and Isabella are enrolled for this year.

@Itsmyownmind Месяц назад

Amazing progress. While watching the video this evening I wondered what the original builders and inhabitants would make of the restoration of this home. I also love that everyone is lending a hand, Sam and Euan helping dip sheep, the lads helping with the base. Imagine a world where everyone were like the Irish Homestead, it would be wonderful ❤

Impressive design and arduous work. Your home will be lovely. …maybe mostly because of the good energy coming from you two💥

@psnchsky Месяц назад

What a fantastic team you make. It's a joy that you allow us to see your journey. You are doing an amazing job. What an inspiration you all are.

@jeanholdstock3695 Месяц назад

What a way for Euan to learn valuable life skills - sheep dipping, mini digger operation, the dumper and most of all the safety aspects of doing it all. Your family are all doing this project together and making your dream home. It is such a joy to see it all changing and progressing. Thank you for allowing us to witness your journey. Toby and Nel seem to have a good relationship. I hope this is a bit of a window into how Toby might accept a donkey companion if the opportunity arises. Have a great week ahead xxx

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes he is enjoying it all especially getting to work the machinery. The sheep dipping was quite an experience! They are so strong! 🤣

@bergannon6585 Месяц назад

Things really are coming together. All your hard work is showing great results. Nell and the chickens at the end was priceless😍😍😍

@lillirod Месяц назад

You are indeed cracking with the reno project. It's been a cold, rainy, muddy, dusty, noisy and very hard work that you doing, along with learning to handle big machinery.. Thanks to the continuous contribution from your wife and neighbors, pretty soon you will be living in your forever home in Ireland! Stay the course!

@maryrosecarroll4558 26 дней назад

You are really lucky to have wonderful new neighbours, friends and community. But you deserve it and I know you will also be a great neighbour back😊

@debcross2335 23 дня назад

I think you are a very hard worker and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done 👍😊 it's the reason everyone is wanting to help when they can. What a great spirit you have Sam and a lovely job all of you are doing 😊❤❤

@marjoriewatton8546 Месяц назад

So pleased you have some help to boost your hard work. Will ease the load. Making progress!

@MikeyReid-iq3ek Месяц назад

Outstanding and insperational. Love your work. Well done 👌🏿

@susanlohan7806 Месяц назад

Bec & Sam - its lovely to see you participating in & benefitting from the great Irish tradition of "Meitheal", where neighbours help each other out with their labour. You must be the fastest ever graduates thru the "blow-ins" phase, judging by the amount of friendly neighbours you have acquired. You'll be changing your accents next & using the word "grand" in every sentence. 😂 Great progress

@Dreyno Месяц назад

I think making the effort to be friendly and stop for a chat is the secret. I’ve seen people move not far from where they’ve moved to and after 20 years nobody local knows them. But I’ve seen other people become pillars of the local community in a year or two.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes it's all about helping your neighbours here. We learned quickly that people look after each other here and we ate so grateful for that and will always return the favour at any opportunity.

@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh Месяц назад

It's nice of you to help your neighbor with the dipping. Makes a bit of a change doesn't it? Its like giving your mind a bit of a mini vacation from the house. You'll come back more focused. When they were digging out my mum's property to get ready to pour the foundation, the guy with the digger came across a dozen granite rocks about 6-8 feet across and about 5 feet high. Each weighed in at about a ton to three tons. My mum, God bless her, asked the digger guy if he could pile the rocks together "over there" to make a rock garden. You had to be there to see the guy's expression. It was priceless! He managed it somehow. I think he rolled them end over end. Bec's quite good with that digger isn't she? Everything looks very professional Sam. Well done!

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Yes we often help the farmer. It works both ways he often does us favours. Definitely a great community spirit here in Ireland. Lo e that your mum got her rock garden in the end! Thank goodness for people who go the extra mile. ♥️

@53221carvel Месяц назад

The skimming in the house looks great. I can see the idea now. Removing the walls has made the house project easier to see now. Looking good. Keep it up.

@TheJimcrooks800 Месяц назад

Great job. That was a lot of graft but having the mini digger and the powered barrow is fantastic. Love the progress and getting to see each stage. You're a great team and I really appreciated Euan having a 'shot' at filling the barrow with the digger. You are all so invested in your future home and that is fantastic to see.

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

He did so well. We are proud of him. Very thankful for the help from Adam, Tim& Patrick too with the groundworks as Sam was so worried about that.

Always appreciate your updates. The momentum is really apparent and progress is impressive. Terrific that you're being a good neighbor; helping with sheep dipping. Your sheep dog really seems to be the homestead diplomat as Toby, the hens and the cats seem to gravitate to and congregate around her.

@carolefranks5489 Месяц назад

Go on Bec's....show 'em how it's done! 😆 I was the only girl with 3 brothers and they all went into apprenticeships in the building trade. My Dad started from technical college as a carpenter and joiner in Ireland, came over to England in 1957 and worked on the bridges over the M1, including the services over the motorway at Leicester Forest East. I always say ' whatever my brothers can do, I can do too!' I lost my lovely husband when we were both 38 and so, being on my own with 2 children, I relied on my own brains and whatever brawn I could muster to get jobs done myself.😁 Working as a team with your husband and being able to pass on skills, knowledge and independence to your children is a wonderful experience. Both my daughters can knock up a flat pack in minutes! 😆

@theirishhomestead Месяц назад

Thanks Carole. I do try to chip in. Plus something off my bucket list done! I admit Sam has more strength but in other things we are pretty even. In fact I'd say I'm better at driving lol
