You have done a great job of the lintel. Well done.

I can only imagine how hard it was for the original builders with few tools and no machinery.

2:50 Is that just some random thing hung on the wall, or is that part of a window covering? Or is it something attached to the wall? It's very odd.

Wasn't sure i'd like the channel at first. "Oh great, another tradesman gonna try and save every rotten timber as an architectural masterpiece needing historical revival". I really do like it though. What needs to look good, looks great, and what doesn't for practical purposes just gets done well. Love seeing everybody chip in to make the dream.

Sam don’t be so hard on yourself the stonework is phenomenal. Everything you’ve done is pretty amazing. What’s the expression you can’t see the forest for the trees. Once you step back and get a little bit more perspective, I think you’re gonna be blown away about what you’ve done. But I think when you’re in it sometimes it’s just hard to see the big picture. You guys are a phenomenal team. I look forward to seeing the next video. Sláinte slán libh! John Ó Gríobhtha

Episode 43, enjoyed.

You both are doing a fantastic job of this cottage - you inspire me with my wish list, & help me to know that I can do it! Thank you!!

Good old Toby got an upgrade in life! Right on

prop the door lintels or they bend

Loved listening to your neighbor’s stories🥰

I love KZbin suggestions. So glad I came across your channel. Many many videos to catch up on.

Great job with the stonework, (I couldn’t help but notice you safety glasses spent a lot of time on your head while you were chipping stone…). Truly the house is coming along beautifully. 😊😊😊😊

Looks great well done

A relaxed lifestyle, but with lots of hard graft. It is so going to be worth it in a few months when u can sit back and admire all your wonderful handiwork. Xxx

Sweet doggiwoggy with the chickens. These people are so nice even the chickens are trying to move in.

I think you kids are amazing!! What you are doing, building your dream home,, with your own hands is so inspirational! And your words spoken on Episode 37, spoke volumes about your character and you as a man. 🥰 God bless you and your family. ❤

LOVE THE BACKGROUND MUSIC "wHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS"

Just found your videos today and i am hooked on them ive been watching all evening and i have to say i absolutely love your work so far the stone is amazing good luck with the renovation and welcome to Ireland your neighbour is a fantastic character and im sure he is glad to know there are such nice neighbours now beside him love from Northern Ireland ❤😘

Amazing digger driver!

I think that Sam's work as a self taught stonemason is absolutely incredible and he can pat himself on the back. He has an eye for detail and I am certain he thinks like I do, no that will that not do, it must be perfect. Hats off to Sam.

I still have no idea how you all do it! I think i have an old house in the US at 164 yrs old. Then i look at yours!! AMAZING! I mean talk about starting at the bare bones point! ONWARDS AND UPWARDS! Sending blessings your way!

Looking brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩💕

How do you afford the traveling? Are you working from your camper or do you stop and get odd jobs along the way!

Sweet donkey: she’s really his person.

In an earlier post you mentioned a wall without windows that takes the brunt of gale force winds. I wondered if it would make sense to add a small outward angle on the outside so the wind would be split, and the impact would be lessened. I hope that makes sense. I got the idea from an old mansion in Galveston Texas which was designed to endure hurricanes.

Sam you are awesome.

A name for the new jinny- Josey. It doesn’t rhyme with Toby, but goes well with itt

You are such kind and thoughtful people, not.only towards your fellowman and woman but towards Gods creatures as well. I’m sure God long ago took notice. ❤

Hello from the U.S. I have recently found your channel and I am enjoying watching. Your cottage is beautiful and the work you have done is spectacular! Stand back and look at where you started and where you are. Sometimes you need to look back to see how far you have come.

Your hard work and determination is paying off and u should be so proud of upurselves and sam don't think of ur door ways as not good there quirky and unique, I love the green windows would realy look good next to the stonework ❤

Wishing you strength and patience!

Hang in there folks, it's the Olympics, and you have a host of dreamers worldwide cheering you on!

Between the green, white, & black... Black is my choice. Cheers

I'm so hooked on watching you guys, so good 😊

I'm very happy that you took a beach day. Spending family time relaxing reminds you why you're working so hard.

Sam, you have done Amazingly!!!! I am glad you got some beach time. Be kind to yourself. We are all dumbfounded by what you have done and how you keep forging ahead.

tt's people like you, who dare to tackle a rescue mssions for such a beatiful property and people like Adam (?) who come to the rescue when very much needed, who restore my faith in humanity.

Well you don't have to go to gym. You're going to have some big guns

av ad me porridge lol.😀

Hi guys, just came across you recently and have been doing a bit of catching up on your videos. To deter rats and mice from nesting in and eating your stuff, use a solution of concentrated peppermint oil mixed with water ( about 20:1 mix) and spray around the area you want to protect. Apparently, they really don't like the smell and will vacate. Hope this helps and keep the videos coming, really enjoying them.

I love what you are doing , the integrity of your work, and your drive and determination ❤

Always love y’all’s videos

It's an old cottage, that's why you like it, so you are just adding character to it. You need to step away from time to time to give mind and body a rest. As for the windows avoid dark colours as they attract spiders and their webs make keeping the frames clean a right pain.

So happy you beat the rain.

Wow fab fab fab watching your journey... can't wait to watch the whole process... keep going guys 😊

Absolutely amazing journey, well done guys ❤

Loving your progress you can really see it from week to week .....the grant deadline is a hard taskmaster but itll be SOOOOOOworth it in the end & fair play to the government for implementing these schemes!

Just noticed your T-shirt with the Slipknot band on it, they are from the same State where I live...Iowa! Thought that was cool.

A chicken tractor!
