ABANDONED Irish Cottage - You'll NEVER GUESS What We FOUND!

[@juliebellew1473]

Well how wonderful is that!! Ye were so disappointed when you thought it was concrete. I have to say if there were prizes for hard work and can do attitude, ye would win them hands down. Xxx

[@helenmcq3389]

I love the stone wall it will be marvellous once it it cleaned up.

[@LouLou-tl1gv]

Love the stone wall never mind what some are saying about it being too cold Certainly dont put a fake stone wall in front of the original that would be pointless I am guessing you have thick walls which retains heat i would leave that wall exposed only and put a stove there and plaster the rest as its too much in a small room to have all stone walls

[@janechamblesswright119]

What an excellent thing this is. Well done Dave of the Kango and his faithful sidekick - Sledgehammer Sal. You guys are so great, and what a lot of hard work is happening. If we don’t have some genuine sunlight and a little bit of warmth - we shall all go mad. Looking forward to brighter days ahead. Great to see you guys!

I absolutely love your positive attitudes! I’m at the point where I need to start thinking about exposing walls and attic space etc but I’m scared what I’m going to find under the plaster 😂

[@margaretkellymurphy5537]

Your newly discovered stone wall is gorgeous! I'm looking forward to watching your home come back to life. All the best from NYC.

[@pauldoyle9709]

I’m delighted you found that stone wall 😎. I know you were a bit disappointed when you thought it was all concrete lined. May your stone wall discoveries continue. Good luck to ya both.

Greetings! Love renovating videos of old buildings, am looking forward to how you will bring back the charm of this lovely cottage. 🤗👨‍🍳

Thanks Samuel!

Stone rocks! I had a rough stone wall like that on my house from the 1920s when I took off the plaster. I had it sandblasted to clean it back and sealed the stone it with a satin sealer that brought out the colours and grain in it. You can get gloss and matt sealer but I found satin was the nicest and most natural looking.

looking forward to the next vids of renovations! epic journey guys!

If youre keeping the stone exposed inside scrape out the pointing & repoint gradually with lime mortar. Takeoff the exterior cement & plaster with lime or just scrape off the pointing & repoint with lime. Old stone houses walls need to breathe, don't use cement. Nice progress

[@marylamphere2112]

It is so beautiful! How lucky are you two

[@carolinecoffey5404]

Wow that’s amazing ! Tell Dave wear a mask my husband recently did same ended up with nasty chest infection. It’s all getting going Tara much love ❤

[@Jmg8-vm8me]

It would be lovely if u keep the ceilings open the height will make it seem bigger, u just need to retie the rafters higher. A vaulted ceiling. Probably no foundations on any part of it, just a cottage base wall, thats all u need anyway, the weight of the mass is enough. That's all all old houses have & it's fine

[@jamesmagee890]

Doing a great job Dave. Will it not be very cold?? But look good.

[@TheElfay]

Im late to this but wante to say we've done some lf this as well as youll be amazed at how much fresher everything feels as the house literally starts to breathe. Sure its needs nsulation adnwhatnot but just drying out and living right is so so good for house.

[@kategreen-adarkcarnival6747]

[@brandyjean7015]

I'm ready to be shocked! What did you two find?!?

[@Blackhawk364]

They found a stone wall and not cement wall.

[@louisemartin7728]

Wonderful find. Keep yer long John's on a tad longer yet 🤣

[@stephenbyrne8357]

It's looking good . Never too late to sell it to me tho and buy a houseboat 😂

[@lukeeastwood]

My oh my, that ceiling was something else 1/2" chipboard? Stone walls look great, but your house will be cold as feck! The only alternative i think is to insulate and make a fake stone wall in front of the insulation, say 1 or 2" thick. Slow and awkward but reduces the insane heat loss down to not a lot of heat loss. My house was1800s but is mostly replaced and now has a rake of insulation - so we don't have to freeze our butts off, like in previous old houses.

[@jeanrichardson2044]

I was thinking that, not a skarrick of insulation anywhere, must be freezing.

[@Jmg8-vm8me]

Careful not to dig out too near to the base of walls on those old footings

[@carolineainenibhreithimh7652]

Miss you xox

[@DiaryofaDitchWitch]

Miss ye all too missus, I've had to learn to re-organise my whole life, prioritising self-care, but I will 100% find a way to work KZbin into that mix 😅 (Just dropped a new one, btw!)
