The Irish Homestead

Ай бұрын

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 farm 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 as much of the work ourselves.
Please follow along on our journey...we need all the support we can get!
This week, we discuss our change of mind regards layout and we attempt to stabilise the barn walls.
Work with us: contact - theirishhomestead@hotmail.com

Recently discovered you after recommendation from Louise and Emily (Campervibe). Fascinating watching your hard work and progress on this project. My wife was born on a farm in Bandon, Co.Cork and moved to the UK when she was 3 years old. Took her there a few years ago to see the old farm house and thought that it would be wonderful to purchase the place and do it up for her but it wasn't to be. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next episode.

Nice surprise to see a vlog this morning! You're making brilliant progress. The stonework is looking fantastic. The new plan works so much better and I love the idea for a stone walled courtyard. Roses do so well in an Irish garden. My late Nan's little bit of garden had every old tin bucket or trough from the farm filled with dahlias, geraniums and roses. It was simple but beautiful. Definitely use that old kettle! You'll also notice many front gardens with huge Aran lily bushes. I introduced my 85 yr old Irish Dad to your channel yesterday and he found it really interesting. He was identifying all the old contraptions you were finding about the place. 'Good luck to them' he said. 😊

We'll just rename you "Sam the Digger" since you couldn't borrow/rent one. When you build that cavity in the bedroom, build another next to it and put in a walk-in closet for Becky. Sam, you've done an amazing amount of work this week. If they don't know what a "poker" is, take heart. I often go into my hardware store and ask for a "doohicki" or a "what-cha-ma-call-it" and then spend at least 15 minutes describing what it's supposed to do! Blessed Be!

Well done,👏🏻 I’d say this has been one of your best vlogs yet.😊The two of you have become so much more confident in front of the camera (far less er ums)and your editing etc is much smoother.I love the way you explain what you’re doing clearly and with humour and without waffling for ages or patronising the viewer,unlike some vlogs I also watch and fast forward in places 😂 I also like that you don’t put fake situations in that are supposedly funny ,you are sarcastic and have a natural appreciation of wryly humourous moments that’s very Manc.I never thought I’d enjoy learning so much about stonework,I’m even inspired to make a raised bed with stones here in Stockport 🙈

Amazing work. We moved into a 1700’s stone farmhouse last year, the only heating is the Rayburn in the kitchen and a log burner in the sitting room, there’s no double glazing on the back windows, there are no radiators or underfloor heating and I can honestly say this is the warmest house I’ve ever lived in. Don’t underestimate how much heat stone holds once it’s warmed up - the whole house is a storage heater. Mind you we don’t have any insulation, so that might impact things. We are reluctant to modernise it! Love the living room ideas and I don’t know if you had a Rayburn before, but you are going to LOVE it!!!

Aww thanks this is great to hear. I'm so excited for my farmhouse kitchen. A dream come true that will be. I really wanted it to be the cosy hub of the house and hopefully that is what it will be by the sounds of it. ♥️

It's so exciting to see your progress, and this week you've really done a heck of a lot. Just make sure you take decent breaks. If you go too hard and fast, you'll run out of steam, and then it'll take a while to get going again. The chickens are obviously the site inspectors, and Toby is the CEO 😂

Thanks Clare. Have to admit we are already in bed! Today has been a lot of graft on the shuttering. I'm sure I did 10 concrete mixes today. We are done in! I think a beach holiday is in order 🤣

Hi, Good to see you making progress. I don't know how far the vlog is from the current progress but a thought occurs to me that it may be a good idea to put some reinforcing bar vertically in the pillar formation that will not only strengthen the pillar but would lend itself to tie into the ringbeam when you get to that! Keep up the great work.

Lots of Irish cottages had half doors, you should consider one in the kitchen as the back door or even in thecsitting room. Very traditional and you can have the top half open on nice days without worrying thst every cat, dog, chicken, donkey and other will wander in.
