We timed this perfectly! - Life under our off grid barn whilst restoring old cottage.
This week we are making some modifications to our new off grid living space under our old abandoned barn.
Whilst we renovate our really old cottage in Ireland we are living off the grid on our land, taking our time to figure out what to do with our wonky stone walls doesn't matter, there is always a small project to be getting along with here on the abandoned farm.
Lessons learnt this week.. listen to your wife, it would have saved me having to correct this mistake on this DIY carpentry project.

AJ is telling you he's home. He's done walking. He's found his happy place and wants to guard it for you, and only wants an odd trip to the beach to jump the waves from now on. He knows you guys have work to do and he's freeing you up to get on with it. He just knows. This is why all dogs go to Heaven! They suss our needs before we do. Just like he'll know the optimum time to leave ye. He's just happy to see ye settled and happy. 😅❤

[@campervibe]

We do love them that’s for sure 😀❤️🐕🐈‍⬛

[@neil-nx3ei]

I couldn’t agree more

[@KevinCullen]

It's a beautiful thing, to get to care for a dog in their elder years, make their life comfortable with little adjustments. You just reminded me of carrying my sweet old husky up and down stairs when she was 15/16 years old... when she was younger she used to drag me up entire mountains and still want to keep going. That's her in my KZbin thumbnail, her name was Uisce which I am sure you know is Irish for water, I bet her and AJ would have gotten on like a house on fire.

[@campervibe]

Aw bless her, we have never had the privilege of looking after an older dog, our other one Wilson, he dies at only 8 yrs old unfortunately from cancer. It’s nice to be able to but also gutting at the same time

[@juliespence2560]

My dog will be 17 soon, he refuses walks on the lead but will amble around for half an hour in his own time 😂❤

[@alidabotes6264]

She was gorgeous Kevin. I've been thinking about getting a Huskey but people say they're high maintenance. Any truth to that?

[@dianep3071]

⁠​⁠@@alidabotes6264high energy and high maintenance They have to be brushed almost daily to keep matts away . I have a lab mix and omg right now she sheds her winter coat and its everywhere even though i brush her all the time

[@KevinCullen]

@@alidabotes6264 I always thought of her as some mythical creature come to life, so graceful and elegant looking. Hmmm... high maintenance only that she had unending energy until she was maybe 15 years old, so huskies average around 12 years lifespans. If you can manage multiple long walks per day or a large fenced-in yard so your husky could burn off some of it that would help there. They are very intelligent and renowned to be escape artists, can jump over 6 feet from standing position so if you have low walls that would be a problem. When their winter coat is being shed, they need such a thorough brushing, do find some videos of what that looks like, and outside of those times of year, regular brushing but nothing excessive compared to any other longer furred breed I have had the fortune to share time with. Uisce (pronounced Ish-ka) was very affectionate, she always had to have me within her line of sight when she took her naps. She knew words, understood their meanings, would talk back in that husky howl speak, understood hand gestures for sit, stay, lay down, wait, come, drop it, you name it. The intelligence was part of the charm. I was lucky in that I always had more than one dog so she always had a play partner which was very helpful in burning off energy. Don't think that would be an issue so long as you had time to walk your husky with decent walks. While every dog is has unique personalities, she very much had breed characteristics. Out of all the dogs I have had, she was my favorite, still dream about her 5 years later. Do some research on their behavior, plenty of videos of them being somewhat crazy energized and bouncing off walls when they get zoomies indoors. Uisce never chewed furniture and somehow never damaged any while getting zoomies in the house but I have seen videos of huskies chewing up an entire sofa when left home alone all day. Watching a video like that, my thoughts go to things like, maybe that dog wasn't being catered to sufficiently, too much energy, boredom, loneliness, not enough walks. A breed bred to pull sleds for entire days, that is a lot of energy ;) I am no huge energetic person but she taught me to be healthier. Uisce got left at home all day and never destroyed anything so... take from that what you will. She was quite loopy as a puppy but for me that was adorable. If I were not looking after my elderly father as I am doing currently, I would have another one already. My next dog will also be a husky. For me, the perfect balance of temperament, affection, companionship, smarts. Apologies for the novel. You asked about one of my favorite things from my entire life so far.

[@user-xv6wn4xg1t]

You 2 are so thoughtful about your pets. Only animal lovers understand just what lengths we go to for our buddies.

[@gaildonaldson171]

I’m guessing AJ is refusing walks because of discomfort, maybe not actual pain. When a previously avid walker and sniffer refuses to walk, listen. Love your vids.

[@duncancremin1708]

Honestly, no matter what you two are up to, I’m pretty confident you’ll have a loyal following. I’m madly jealous of the skill with a hand saw, to produce those beautiful mitres. I’m super proud of myself if I can get 90 degrees in two planes, with minimal chipping. But those shallow angles, practically on the rip, with a cross cut hand saw, are a whole other level. I’m green with envy. Apart from anything else, I’d be exhausted after doing the first one, (rough, crooked and twisted!), so trying to do the second would require a rest and a cuppa. By the time I’d failed at that one too, I’d be fit for bed. Power tools are the only way I ever achieve a decent finish. All of that said, tge chemistry between you two is an absolute joy to watch and I never get tired of it. Every single one of your videos has made me smile and, trust me, there have been times when that was virtually impossible. Thank you both. Can’t wait for the next one, already!

[@campervibe]

Louise is extremely talented for sure and definitely knows her way around a saw 😂😀

[@michellec8273]

Louise, I think you are simply amazing! Design and build a ramp? Sure! Redesign and alter the ramp? Sure! Do it all with a hand saw? Why not?! AJ is so smart. "I have a lovely big yard now, I don't need to go walking around now. What is your problem, women? The answer is No!" He' wonderful and so are both of you. Take care and stay safe and happy.

AJ not wanting to go on walks, lol. You gals are such good dog/cat parents. Thanks for taking us on the ride. Amazing ramp too!😊👋🌎

[@MrsIzzy52]

Our dog is 5.5yrs old , called Stanley and is a lazy git, we have a large garden and that’s all he needs or so he thinks, he refuses point blank to go on more than one walk a day with my husband and he puts his paw on the lead and forces it to the ground and he just says nope! My sister in laws dog did the same but he also liked to lie in the middle of their tiny cul de sac and he wouldn’t move for any car and the neighbours were made to drive around him, he was a giant labradoodle and we lost him 2 years ago. He was so placid , lazy and our Stanley drove him nuts as a puppy wanting him to play all the time and hanging from his ears etc. I love the ramp you have made for him & girls you can see just how much you love each other and the unconditional love for your 2 fur babies. A- J is a handsome looking boy and Summer is a beautiful girl who is adamant she is going to make Louise run daily 😂 I love watching you both & the other van wow is it beautiful 😮😃 whomever wins it will be one lucky happy being. I’m going to take part as I would love the van with my husband & Stanley.

Watching your dog trying to avoid the ramp reminded me of My little yorkie who passed away two months ago aged 15. She was having knee problem the past few years.I would lift her up & down into the car and into my bed. My sunken living room became a problem for her so I bought a hard foamy angled similar to the ramp you built. I held her and guided her up the 1st few days.It took her about 4 days before she realized the ramp was there to help her go up & down the stair.

AJ planting his feet and setting his ears back! Summer going right over the gate like all cat owners, including you two, knew she would! Excellent fun to watch!. Love the ramp build and rebuild -- Emily is right on the design, but Louise has incredible mad skills with hand saws! Wow I'm impressed!

[@novicehiker]

I laughed so much at Summer hopping over that fence then racing off just in case Louise hadn't done enough physical labour already! AJ wandering around and watching progress from his bed was just perfect, keeping an eye on proceedings to make sure his ramp was up to standard. Our dog Molly is still fairly young but it is a breed that can have issues with hips and she has one leg slightly shorter than the others, so we have soft ramps for her for things like the sofa and stuff because she LOVES jumping 😭. It took her ages to use it properly even with training and not just leap over it from another angle, it's so funny how such clever animals can be so bemused by a ramp. I love all the things you are doing to make sure AJ and Summer have the best home and I am sure all your work will just make it even more perfect for you both too. Thanks for taking us along for the journey.

Fab video, just echoing what has been said about AJ. We have a very disturbed rescue boxer who we have been working with now for 3.5 years. She didn't go out for about 6 months until she had built a tiny bond with us. People think we have to walk our dogs daily because that is what we have always done. All a dog wants is food, shelter and love. Dogs in the wild will only walk for food and shelter they don't just go for a stroll around. AJ is happy and content so please don't worry about taking him out, you only end up getting stressed and worry yourself. Grab an Emily snack and enjoy your wonderful home.

Oh Lou has her own snacks now, she is worse than me 😂😂

AJ putting his paw down...." I ain't going nowhere "..quite happy just to be home...😂😂😂😂 that's what happens when you get older...😂😂 great ramp...

I love watching you two :) that is exactly how every relationship should be. My feel good weekly thank you ladies :)

[@edsilvester]

Like my older dog, he’s incredibly content. It’s a lovely age; you’ve given an animal the best gift a human can give. Contentment.

He says to hell with walkies I want to chill and guard MY YARD he truly loves it ❤

[@janenemccann1033]

Gosh, I love watching you girls, you never fail to make me smile

[@brigittecrawley1872]

Glad AJ can get in and out of the van with ease. Great job on the ramp Louise! Love your videos!

[@bernadettebentley]

I think your bloody marvellous Louise especially your carpentering skills,as for Emily I understand the "shut purse"debate you do well.Funny about AJ how he refuses to walk,but also sad his health conditions,as for summer things seem to just go over her head.Look forward to your next video.Keep smiling❤

[@christinelindup7209]

I just absolutely love the banter you two have , your both amazing and I love your vlogs , sending AJ hugs 💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙

Hats off for that ramp. Good design, and looks good too. Oh, I spoke too soon. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="600">10:00</a> Louise announces that there will be a redesign. Let me watch the whole video before commenting 🙂 So, in the end all is well. Great cooperation between you two. And lovely to see you four all so happy on your land.

I'm really enjoying following you creating a new life in my country, girls!!

[@JanetDavidge-ul2co]

Such a contented AJ he's where he wants to be HOME ❤ loved and happy x

[@trishmoran6987]

I look forward to your videos so much every week and you never disappoint! You are such a brilliant couple and deserve all the best in life. I hope your restoration is enjoyable and rewarding. AJ remknds me of my Brandy Girl in her last few years. She would stop just like AJ and as soon as I asked do you want to go home, she would just turn around and head for home. As someone once said to me, she was only interested in checking her pee-mails, not in walking!😊 😊😊

You ladies always make me smile with your antics. My old dogs were like that when they were seniors. Instead of walks it was sunbathing, Thanks for the link to enter the van giveaway. Fingers crossed it will be me who wins it. I will be having a trip to Dublin countryside if I win with my daughter and our pups. Daughter has a friend in Dublin she wants to visit so this would be perfect.

[@ruthquinn6229]

Am I the only one who thought Emily had got Minion vibes when she was painting the boards towards the end of the video? 😂 Great channel, loving the renovation content. I’m all on board for letting Louise loose with the budget! She needs some power tools and then Emily can have a cosy cottage much faster.

I’m channeling my inner minion 😂
