Hi. Where did you get the tiles/surround and hearth thats surrounding your wood burner from?

Sounds like a good idea to have a contingency of €60,000 on a €400,000 build. Or maybe build a house you can afford instead of trying to keep up with the jones 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

a full 360 would have you back at shaker style though?

Lovely!

Congratulations, you did fab work!

Congrats guys, you did fab work!

How much worth to build like this house !?

the heck is a meath? I see Meth Trailer

It's so great to see a new lease of life being given to an old house. Beautiful work, everyone :)

Wow! Thanks for sharing. Great video! This lady has beautiful taste. Everything is so elegant, especially the kitchen. The skylight in the outdoor space is a stroke of genius! There's a lot to be said for a somewhat smaller home. As a family of four, we have lived in 112 square meters for the past 15 years. Yes, we could do with slightly more storage, but it is so easy to heat, keep clean and manage. In a few years the kids will move out, people often forget that part. If I were to build my own home now, I would not go fully open plan. I'd have an open kitchen/diner, then a separate living/sitting area. The acoustics in a big open plan room, especially if there's high ceilings, tiled floors, granite worktops, etc., can be difficult to live with. My next home will have a quieter area to chill in ;)

Love these videos, so interesting! It would also be great to see their floor plans, and hear why they went with the layout they did 😊❤

I love how almost all renovation couples have an uncle or relative whose in the building trade… makes the renovation bittersweet to watch because the numbers they give dont represent the full renovation cost if they couldnt do it themselves.

Can I extend an icf house with blocks . With installing RSJ etc. How does that work

BIGGEST advice to people building ICF, from my experience. ENFORCE, not convince, ENFORCE, electricians and plumbers to think about this ICF investment, it is an airtight house. So, after they cut through the poly/concrete to run services, they have to fill back gaps with expansion foam, silicone, etc. Draughts form through channels that and hit vanities, wall plugs, etc. comes down from ceiling if not airtight, etc.

I was interested in hearing about the Air to Water Heat Pump that was helpful. Beautiful home.

i love your house it is beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ can designee one for me

It's amazing

Good morning How much time and money you need approximately to build such house please ?

Central vacuum is useless in 2024. Robot does better job.

The planet would be happier if you were not taking a bath every day 😂

Nice views! Far too big... Where are the trees??

Sounds like the only con is it’s probably more expensive than your typical home build. What kind of roofs go on a ICF house . Can it be a Full ICF house including roof.

Does anyone know if Lydia has a business name or where I could contact her? I live near them and I am looking at starting my self build. Would love to speak to her about the design of their home! :)

How big is your land?

Beautiful home.thank god for enabling you to enjoy, we take so much for granted. Always have my homes blessed .Happy Christmas ✝️✝️

If I were building now, I would make walls of solid brick, with a ventilated hinged facade or using frame technology. It would have turned out to be a warm house with a lot of inertia.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing your home building journey with us.

Я даже представляю сколько стоит отопить этот дом. Зачем такие огромные пространства комнат? А если денег много, то лучше строить на берегу, там больше шансов продать

This is awesome. Well done. This is the future if tradition would just fk off and accept the benefits of this style of building

Beautiful house, congratulations to the couple.

Stunning !!!

any idea on the cost of the build?

would love a little top down view of the house plan, just to get an idea of the overall layout. Lots of lovely detail shots but not as much showing how each of the spaces are related to each other. nice job though!

Also kudos to parents who let them live with them for 5 years. Nice choices....😊

Love the design & love this couple. Nice job....

Excellent

All have the charm and warmth of Scandinavian hospital operating rooms! Obviously they're trendy not only in Ireland and are easy to clean - and at least they don't have those obnoxious red-and-black checkerboard backsplashes. But if it weren't for the lack of a toilet, you might not know what room you were in.

Lovely, you should be very proud. Amazing.

Love the French/Irish accent combo. 👌🏾

Fab house and great video! I dream of the day when costs come back to €120 - 140 Sqft so I can build. They're closer to €200 - 220 now 😑

This is how the rich remain rich

I love a tasteful and tranquil home with gentle light neutral colors, clean lines, textures, balance and harmony. Not a fan of busy curtains, busy carpet, loud colors that clash, and those godawful checkered tile floors and backsplashes that can lead slowly (sometimes quickly) to a loss of sanity. But I'm also not a fan of too many hard edges, white and black color schemes, and a cold sterility that can make a kitchen or living room feel like massive institutional restroom. The best word that I can think of to describe this home is "exquisite." Really a masterpiece of harmony and tranquility! Congratulations!

My company has been using ICF for years, mainly Fox Block, I will never go back to stick framing, the benefits are endless, heating, cooling, cheaper than stick framing, no thermal bridging and on and on. Far superior method ofconstruction.

Beautiful home

How much did it cost then, that i think was the first question but i didn't hear an answer.

Beautiful home.

I want to build with ICF; lower floor with 150mm natural stone clad and 1st floor render. Problem is the ground floor is now 150mm wider. How can I get 1st floor to be level with bottom floor? Great video, very informative…. Cheers

Guys we’re really looking for feedback on these videos… what do you wish we asked? Showed? What would you like to see next? 😅

Would the wall have a fire rating. Might be a silly question.
