@thecornerhouseproject I thought you should know that Gill & Rich of 'Bramble Cottage' youtube channel gave your channel a couple shout outs in their December 31 video. Blessings to you in 2025!

[@cynthiabruns7178]

What a record of 18 months of hard work! You are two very brave people, taking on a house that’s been empty for so long. What a change.

[@agnesgosling3347]

Ben and Dawn you should both be so proud what a achievement congratulations to you both.👍👍👍

[@Susan.I]

I can only imagine what the house will look like when it’s painted!

[@marshagaravaglia8149]

I’ve been here since the beginning of your journey. Wow. I have the utmost respect for you. Amazing work Ben and Dawn. Thank you for taking us along. Can’t wait to see what you accomplish in 2025🎉❤

[@shelaghrichardson1294]

I hope you feel proud of each other! What a team you make, supporting each other through thick and thin! And such a sad time for the family so near to Christmas.... But you are true overcomers and this coming year hopefully will see the end of the truly backbreaking and exhausting work and the start of having a substantial, stylish and comforting home that will wrap its arms around you at the end of every day. When we moved to the Caribbean 30 years ago with our 2 somewhat reluctant teenagers, we bought land and built our home from scratch, with the help and friendship of some talented local builders and craftsmen. So we sorta know what you are going through. We lived in several pretty basic rentals until it was habitable, then did all the finishing while we we in it. At the end of the day it was all worth it. I know you will feel the same about your lovely home, too.All the very best for you and your family in the coming New Year of 2025.😊🌴🇦🇮

[@annhopper6959]

Wow!! You two have done so much! What a huge difference! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you 🤩

[@lchpmn]

Thanks for the look back. I’ve forgotten about some of the things like sleeping in a tent. You have come a very long way in the past 18 months. Thank you for taking us along as you continue to build your new life together. Wishing you both the best in 2025!

[@jeancarver6599]

This is my favorite videos!! It was unreal to see all you have accomplished!!!!

[@irishdancer2753]

Ben and Dawn, WOW!! So much hard work the pair of you have completed! Well done!! Looking forward to 2025!❤

[@colettelavery7452]

Ben and Dawn y😂should be so proud of what you have both achieved. Not an easy task with a big amount of money never mind a small budget. Also having to come back and forth to England with family issues. I honestly could not imagine many couple's coping as you both have.Please God 2025 will be a very happy and prosperous new year for you both and your home.Take care and God Bless you both xx

[@jeantesc812]

I forgot just how bad it was on day one! You have done a tremendous job the house is going to be beautiful.

[@kathleensenior9413]

Wow. What a team you two make. With such dedication and hard work you have done since taking ownership of your house which I’m sure with you both, will be a beautiful home.

[@lacyjude]

You've achieved so much. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you so much and it was a lovely reminder of what we’ve done for us too.

[@nicolab5313]

LOVED this video! You should be incredibly proud of yourselves!

[@bobbiebrandel3152]

Brought a tear or two. Amazing, just amazing change in 18 months. You both have worked together so hard to make things happen.

[@kerry1233]

Trojan work, inspirational.

[@10928rob]

Well done, what a great reminder of what you have achieved, KZbin at its best, what a record of what you have done, well done you two.xxx👩‍❤‍👨♥♥♥

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thanks Pa. Yeah it’s a really good eye opener to do these video, also gives you a bit of excitement back for getting more done as well. Xxxxx Happy New years Eve to you and Mumma. Xxxx

[@10928rob]

Have a great New Year, you three, you are always in our thoughts.♥♥♥

[@kevinjohn725]

Look how far you have both come. You should both be really proud of yourself. Happy new year. Kev

[@pennyneal2456]

It can only better from here….you can do it, I know you can! ❤😊

[@Sharron48]

Thanks for doing this! It’s like I am seeing for the first time

[@mareaarries1727]

Absolutely amazing. Timelapse brings all you have accomplished into sharp focus. You have achieved so much in such a short time. Watching week on week you tend to forget some of the struggles you have faced and overcome. Well done!

[@roxannsoderquist25]

18 months, beginning with a vision the journey began. You work beautifully together, supporting each other and sharing your journey with mostly strangers 😊 May 2025 bring you great blessings ✨ Happy New Year 🎊

[@Prel8]

It's truly amazing what you've been able to acomplish in the time that you've been there. You have taken a decaying shell and turned it into a Home! Yes, I understand that there's still work to be done, but you now have a solid base to work with. All the best in the new year.

[@Susan.I]

Wow, what a difference!

[@damee8363]

It’s amazing what you have accomplished in 18 months. Great video Dawn.

[@ellenchapman5293]

Blimey, I'd forgotten about the outdoor shower, that was a harsh few months you spent using your outdoor 'spa'. I worried so much for you when you were taking down those beams, but what a team you made, just the two of you, pulling out the old and installing the new, the suspended hearth was another thing that was a huge task.The '2 week' garden clearance, leading to the manual excavation of the old yard was a joy, but you managed to not only clear it, but to take us along on that journey, no mean feat. The front door was a perfect fit for the look of the house, it looks as if it were always there. It will be fabulous to see you pottering with your artsy crafty bits in the workshop when that is done, that tree falling on it broke my heart for you, but Dawn, you've done an amazing job on that rebuilding and pointing out there. So many highlights and worrying moments, but look how far you have come. Be proud of yourselves and here's to an exciting, happy new year ahead xx

[@cliodhnacolgan5571]

Congratulations to you both on such incredible progress over the last 18months. Your stamina and dedication are boundless. Sending love and blessings for 2025. I’ve no doubt your Dad is looking down on you with great pride Ben.

[@Cuernavacachica02]

Hi Dawn and Ben! A trip down memory lane for you and for those of us who found you from the very beginning! You’ve worked so hard and have accomplished so much! I can’t wait to see the progress in the next 18 months!! Happy New Year and see you soon! Sending hugs your way!! Oh and though I’ve loved it all, seeing the garden again and your little visitors, just brings me peace! ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thanks Josefina. It was great seeing it all put together like that and it’s something we should sit and watch ourselves when we’re feeling a little disillusioned with it all because it helps give you back a bit of oomph! Ahh yes the little visitors were lovely to see again. So much looking forward to the less cold days to get back outdoors. I miss. Being outside everyday! So very much looking for to the new year as well and all that it will bring! Happy New Year to you and yours too. ♥️

[@sallyflavell6221]

I had to wonder how the previous owners were able to live in such a terrible state but sadly they may have been old and unable to fix it. You two are so brave and the house is so much better now. Amazing transformation with all your hard work! Incredible! You should be so proud of your progress❤🎉Happy New Year and bless you both for being such an inspiration🥰👏⭐️👏⭐️👏

[@eamonnsheeran7306]

What a journey !!! Well done !!

[@kathibrooks1401]

Just look at all youve accomplished. Be proud and stand tall. That truly is a lot of work for just the two of you. Love you both. Brand new year starting and I feel it's going to be a great one.

[@lauralake7430]

What an amazing journey!

[@mnamber]

I love 💝 what you’ve done. You both compliment each other so well. One works one way and the other works the other way, it’s beautiful. So is your home 🏠 ❤

[@marypower8009]

You are both amazing! The first video I saw I thought where would you Start???? Be very very proud 👏 and as I always say "Hard work is not easy" onwards and upwards for 2025.

[@marcusd2380]

I’m glad u did this video just shows how much hard work you both put into the house and you were both brave to take on the house when u see the original condition of it. This year will bring it on further. Maybe we will have good weather to allow plaster on the outside and if it rains plaster the in side. We have been flat out over Christmas with the children they are starting to know about Christmas now and it’s fun. Going to get that bed room finished now and make a nice tidy office up stairs. Connie is three now and wants to be with me up there when I’m working so it needs to be safe for her. Ezra is 4 and he’s happy watch kids KZbin down stairs. A cold week comming in now. All the best for now

[@RuthieAubs]

It was great to see everything you both have accomplished. Months of hard work in one quick video. There are not many people who would take on such a huge task but you had the courage to take on the challenge and have learned and persevered and have done a wonderful job! Looking forward to see what the next 12 months will bring! Best wishes for a Very Happy, Healthy New Year!! ❤

[@weareboundtooneanother]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! The property has come so far from where it was. It makes me think of that show "ghosts" and I imagine the local group watching all the progress and nodding in approval :) You guys have really done an amazing job. It's quite impressive. This year is going to be GREAT !!! ❤

[@sharonWT0804]

It’s amazing all the work you have done! Thanks for sharing it all with us. I know life has been challenging in 2024, hope for health and happiness for you all in 2025.

[@clairethomas9032]

Wow! When you look back, you really have done a lot of work. Your home looks so cosy and welcoming. Your house reflects you as a couple it seems. Hope you have a very happy new year xx

[@yvonneryan3920]

Hi, Ben & Dawn thank you for your last couple of videos (Merry Christmas & Timelapse) over Christmas hols. You too are amazing. The amount of work & jobs you have managed to conquer in the last 18 months is phenomenal.. your DIY skills are so good.. & I feel are improving with each new challenge. The woodworm was a huge challenge which you surmounted with great meticulous skill. Dawn’s stone work is a work of art and is a fabulous feature at your new home. Ben the true versatile handyman .. I could go on & on. Keep up the great work transforming your house into a home. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year to you both… ❤

[@terriford5634]

A true testament to one day at a time. I'm so glad you have the timeline recorded to remind yourselves just how hard you work and what you accomplished. Best wishes for more one days to come!

[@TheJoan1959]

Wow!!! Amazing progress!! You have accomplished a lot in the past 18 months and you can be proud of all that you have done. I'm looking forward to following your progress in the new year. Blessings to you!

[@carolwoodward6141]

This 18-month recap is heartwarming. Thank you.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww we’re very glad to hear you say that ♥️

[@joanoneill381]

I’m always thrilled when I see your video posted! You have done so much work on your home and the results are amazing. Just think what 2025 will bring…you are talented & will do a grand job! I hope you had a peaceful Christmas. Happy New Year!

[@Susan.I]

It dried out and still works clearly!!!😊

[@biettabrewer]

What an undertaking, I admire you both. Very much enjoy watching what you’ve done so far! Brilliant! ❤️ Where I live in Canada there are no buildings this old so it is intriguing to watch and see the transformation. Looking forward to more videos! Take care. 😊

[@AlmaRichardson-m6w]

This is great Ben & Dawn. In just 18months what a transformation. Well done. Oh ! Happy New Year. ❤

[@lyndaf.6329]

Further to my earlier comment I'd just like to add to all you people out there, consider becoming a channel member, these two deserve our support, it doesn't cost much and every little helps them to continue with this project and produce videos for us all to enjoy.

[@msanjanadutt1]

Hi there! seeing what you've achieved in 18 months leaves me pretty speechless! you've both done so much to transform the house into your home! Couldn't be more proud of your efforts! Happy New Year Dawn and Ben!!

[@zoecooper6436]

WOW!!! You must be SO proud of what you've achieved together and how far you've come. I love watching your vlogs and can't wait to see what you get up to in 2025. Well done. Happy new year to you both xx

[@JaneyH]

Gosh that all brings back memories of you two and all the work… doesn’t seem 6 months since the new timber in the ceilings! I take my hat off to you both and again thanks for the good company through a bad year! Hug to Ben for NYE … these firsts will be the hardest for us Ben.. All the very best for 2025 my loves 🍀

[@tracybush8115]

As I watched early on, I wondered if you'd show the woodworm "bomb" (I forget the technical name.) I recall you had to leave the house for several hours while the house filled with smoke and if memory serves me, you went for breakfast. Ben, the music for that scene is perfect, sinister, scary, haha. I will NEVER forget you guys putting in the joists - you did such a great job. There you go Ben, showin' off your noggins again! Oh wow, I forgot how much dirt was in the outbuilding. Haha, in the midst of utter chaos inside the house, adorable cows stroll by leisurely. Remember how blessed you were to be gifted a "new" used lovely set of kitchen cupboards? I loved how that played out. To say what you two have accomplished is "inspirational" would be an understatement. See you guys next year.

[@smercr-c6173]

Season’s Greetings. Well done, it’s been great being on the journey with you both. I can’t wait to see the end 🤜🏾🤛🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@TheHavasu_77]

Congrats on 23k!! 🎉 I’m so happy I found you in the very beginning of your journey, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings you. Even when you’re just excavating the backyard, you guys make it fun and interesting. In the past video you were apologizing for not having anything exciting going on, but this video is a testament to all that you’ve accomplished so far! Love you guys and Happy New Year, and may 2025 bring you many more blessings and accomplishments on your beautiful homestead. 😊💚

[@morrigans_cottage]

I am always so in awe of what you guys have done with the house on a tight budget and everything you've had cause bumps on the road over the last 18 months. You have such a beautiful home full of character and it's so lovely to see you bringing it back to life! Have a lovely new year and all the best for 2025 ❤

[@joeyspesh7813]

I’m so glad I started watching you guys. ❤

[@goddessqueen6610]

Love the music, especially the dark piece during the bug removal from the wood.

[@rebekahvenn201]

See how far you have both come. Its nothing short of amazing. How proud we all are of you both.🎉

[@joycegans3239]

You two are amazing and a great team! I look forward to more of your Reno.

[@chrisbanks5925]

Well done.

[@tracybrown6207]

Well done the pair of you. The hard work is definitely paying off. I hope you have a jolly New Year and 2025 will be your year

[@carolarnold7148]

Amazing work in just 18 months. Dawn & Ben you should be proud of your achievements. I love watching your videos. Wishing you both a happy healthy 2025 🎉 thank you 💝😊

[@RenovatingRockCottage]

You’ve done so much in 18 months - I hope i get as much done !!

[@trishmcmahon1617]

You have both done an amazing job in all this time! Well done. You have given the old house a new lease of life and she is worthy to behold.

[@brinawitch]

Dawn is the Sherrah of moving rocks. Amazing work!

[@AngelaClarke-gc7bo]

Thank you! Wishing you both only the best for 2025 ❤❤🥂🍾🎊

[@debmiskiw1839]

Wow! You two are impressive. That was a lot of hard work and determination. Congratulations!!

[@ihnas2578]

Cant wait for the next 18 months. Cheers well done and Happy New Year!

[@sheilawhalen8769]

Wow. Looking back at the first few videos, I'm even more impressed with your hard work and perseverance over the last 18 months. That was a rough house!

[@Jayling]

WOW! You two really worked your socks off. I doubt in my younger days if I would've taken on such a big project, but you, Dawn & Ben, really cracked on and got so much accomplished. Well done to the both of you! Here's hoping for a smooth New Year without too many aches and pains. :)

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you! We have our fingers crossed for less aches and pains this coming year too! 😂

[@simonworthington2529]

I forgot about you all as was asleep and now i have to look at this sad video of when the fun started. Love when you viewed it and started to clear it out and how things got transformed , 18 months is a long time but its not a race and getting things done at your rate. Get ready for more bad weather and cold temps and hope you finished freeze proofing tanks and pipes. Great video of memories you now have.

[@Marie-yx5ie]

Ben and Dawn was a little bird on the the window sill outside the window that the window sill was eaten to bit's? You are both unbelievably, it's great to see all the work you have done 👏👏👏 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire

[@hellypoppy5739]

A very good example of how vines left growing up buildings can be so destructive, roots getting inside every little crevice. What a marvellous job to get all of that done…

[@lindagage7315]

Look how far you have come in 18 months, I haven't been following you the whole time ,so thankyou for the update! Well done both of You! Looking forward to your next video in the new year!

[@TomMaxwell-g1x]

well this just shows how much you have actually done and it's amazing, before Christmas you were both saying you feel like you had not done much in the last 6 months or so but it is all the little jobs that take so long and don't really show unlike bigger jobs like the joists and floors which are on full view for all to see, just keep doing what your doing and one day it will all come together, All the Best for 2025 and if you fancy a days labour out of me give me a shout as long as it don't involve digging 😆

[@becb7936]

I've been subscribed and watching your videos for 4 or 5 months but had not seen the older videos of the condition of your house when you first started. You are real visionaries to be able to see past that and take on such a huge project! The amount of work you two have done in 18 months is incredible! It's already looking amazing. I'll be following along as you continue with your renovation.

[@kaybloomfield4785]

Dear Ben and dawn can’t believe what you have achieved in that time you both should be very proud of what you have done we didn’t see first few videos so can’t believe what you took on but well done and well worth the time and effort

[@Sharron48]

Love the choices of music

[@cheryls8074]

What a fabulous team! You have accomplished so much in bringing the old place towards a livable home. So much tender loving care. Loved your recap and I look forward to seeing what you work on next. Thank you for sharing your adventure. 🤗Happy New Year! 🎉

[@LindasNOOKfile]

Great job!!! I’m surprised there was no insulation and no evidence of EVER having any. All those cold windy nights! I’ve no doubt the house is much warmer☀️☀️☀️
