Couple problems? Making money? Are the ponies ok? | Renovating an Irish cottage + homesteading Q&A

[@robsondog01]

Strange how some of your followers seem to think it’s a slow renovation. Taking into consideration actual man hours that have been put into the renovation it’s a miraculous build time. Feel so very proud of you both.👍👏👏

[@lakesidesecurity3845]

Anyone criticising your progress has clearly never done this! Full time job, plus family, plus renovations is …….. Difficult to say the very least. Thanks for great content and really wholesome videos.

[@didisalyers4460]

In 1974 my husband and I bought a home on an acre of land. The folks who owned it had lots of junk cars on it at one time or another. We spent the whole year renovating the house and cleaning up the yard. We managed to move in the week I delivered our first child. So I can very much commiserate with all your efforts. You are doing a wonderful job and I enjoy every video.

[@MamasCountryCookingnMore]

Love your humor with each other and that you can laugh at your mistakes and trials! Love that you are having the ponies because their presence is healing to your souls. My first husband of 23 years passed 10 years ago and we did the 'let's do farm life' after living in the city the first 8 years. Lots of memories and fun things we learned. Our 4 children thrived and learned responsibilities of farm life and caring for animals. We bought an old tomato packing plant that had been a church, dance hall and community gathering place. Over 7000 sq ft of house with brick walls. We had a skylight in our upstairs family room and our 11 year old son was playing video games and saw a few pairs of eyes were watching him and scared he ran downstairs to the kitchen to tell us then we heard a rumble on the roof. Our roof on one end of the house was close to the ground level. All 4 kids all ran out with flash lights and started yelling and laughing. We had 3 of our goats on the roof! Lots of fun times!

[@patriciapadgett4696]

Hola, and Thankyou for another great video. We were 56 when we sold up in the UK and bought 2 acres in the mountains of Spain. We just wanted a complete life change. We lived in a tiny cabin / shed with no water, electricity or any sort of mod cons. We lived in that for 6 years, best years ever, and had already said before we started this adventure that we would laugh at the ups & downs. We eventually built a beautiful modern house that we lived in for the next 10 years. We then wanted another adventure & the house & land was becoming hard work. So by now in our 70's we bought an old Spanish Casita unlived in for over 20 years, and that has reduced me to tears. I think a renovation is much harder than a self build., especially with an old property, but it's all been worth it. We love our Spanish home, it's only down the road from our huge, modern , beautiful house that was a great achievement and we look back & often wonder how we did it, so like you say, follow your dreams, it's not always easy, but our children are very proud of us , and we are proud of ourselves. We get up every morning with a plan & keep going, we still have lots of land, an Olive Grove , so work continues. Oh, and after 19 years of living in Spain we still don't have a TV. That's through choice 😂. Keep doing what your doing, Happy New Year, love to you all. Patricia ♥️🌲♥️

[@Melissa02891]

I didn't think it would be possible for me to love the 3 of you anymore than I already do but you consistently prove I can. It's amazing how attached you can become to total strangers that are living 3,000 + miles away but I look forward to every video you post. You are good people ❤ thanks for including us in your journey.

Oh my goodness I amazed at what you three have accomplished. I enjoy your loving banter, your hard work, your dedication to the environment and your beautiful smiles. I look forward to seeing what 2025 will bring for you all. Cheers from Ontario, Canada🇨🇦

[@Fionabren55]

You are such a lovely couple and deserve every success in your homesteading dream. Find a sponsor of a motorised wheelbarrow that will take alot of the heavy lifting up to the veg plot.

[@kerriegood1046]

You guys are amazing. So thankful for your efforts to put a new video out over the holidays. Your Q and A idea is brilliant. Your videos are so fresh- look out 2025.

[@Juliegriffiths1]

I personally find your channel refreshingly different. I enjoy the more laidback approach to you managing other work commitments and the homestead development. 🎉

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Thanks for following along

[@missglenellen]

I love every minute and every clove of garlic of this your channel! May it take as long as it needs to make you happy, dry and warm!

[@valeriehill6382]

Can’t believe anyone would criticise the time it’s taking, you guys never cease to amaze me, all the best for 2025 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Thank you !

[@karinpeterson5366]

Thank you, guys. Anyone thinking this is a slow renovation has never done it themselves. I dare people to study for instance for a degree in between fulltime work and family commitments and see how that goes (it's not even physical work but the struggle is real) 😉

[@offgridirishhomestead]

100%! Happy new year

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

It has been a pleasure and an honour m'dears❤. I sincerely hope you continue to succeed beautifully in 2025 and beyond. Much love to you.....and to all.🎉❤🎉

We appreciate you

[@WestCorkWander]

Aww thanks for the shout folks, yeah an awning in this country is lovlely except when the mad weather comes!! Not pleasant waking up to a crash at 3am!! Still reckon an industrial drone to the garden is the way forward! Love the crying moments... 💯 Relate... we all have those!! Your progressing at the perfect speed that suits you, wouldnt worry about anything else. Hope ye all are enjoying the break, happy new year! Congrats on the belt, super upgrade 😂😂😂

[@arwenwestrop5404]

Oh my, I have just recovered from the laughing fit you left me in with your bloopers. I love the way you have this fun together and share it with us. Of course you have your moments, we all do, however, you overcome them in such a graceful way! Also thank you for answering all those questions. I may never have asked some of those, considering them too personal, and you just answered them in such a lovely way! With regard to Gavin, didn't you say that he has COPD? That would be more than enough reason to not make him do anything like hauling stuff! Besides, like you said, these are foster horses, not yours to do with as you please. I'm just really pleased that those two persons, Gavin and Sia, have such a good horsey life with you! Thank you for being there for them! And have a wonderful new year. I hope that you will be able to move into your gorgeous cottage in 2025, you deserve to live in that home that you are creating for yourselves with your very hard work! You guys are awesome!

[@offgridirishhomestead]

What a wonderful comment - thank you, we appreciate you

[@PádraigJMCarey]

We’re starting a similar journey in 2025 with a ruined stone farmhouse in Roscommon - your videos have been extremely helpful and motivating, we’re now sure we’re doing the right thing!!

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Woot - amazing to hear. Good luck with your adventures!

[@iwasfloyd]

You two honestly make me so happy. Your daughter is an added bonus. Feel like I've got a new daughter, son and granddaughter. I'm so proud of you all and can't wait to continue this journey with you. This Mama and YaYa is quite proud of my new family!! Love y'all!!

[@jimpayne6798]

Yep, renovations/conversions do take time. We lived in a borrowed caravan for 2. 1/2 years, till the owner wanted it back. I was working 55 miles away, commuting 5 days week on a motorbike,. We had to move into our barn, with a toilet, gas stove and an old fridge. Concrete floors and one bedroom plastered. Took another 2 years to finish. You have to do it to realise the time it takes. So slow? Never. Love the vids.

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Wow - sounds like you had quite the renovation adventure! Thanks for following along

[@TeriDuncan8049]

You two are AWESOME, thank you for sharing your lives with us ❣️❣️❣️. Just a precaution, watch the ponies backs for rain rot, with the thick hair and being wet they can develop pustules against the skin (rain rot). A good brushing when dry will help them avoid it. Take care of each other ❣️❣️❣️

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Will pass the info on to our daughter, thank you! We appreciate you being part of our community and leaving us such great comments

You just can’t win with some people can you, it’s a mammoth task, but some folk don’t understand do they .

[@rontanser9369]

Thanks for the Q.A GUYS THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING, even better is all the bloopers at the end. I love the flatpack caravan idea.😂😂 look forward to your videos for the upcoming year and the progress and I’ll finish by saying I wish you all a very happy and productive New Year😊

[@Blessings.429]

Thanks! Keep the great videos coming. Love what you’re doing with this project also I am like 12 weeks away from becoming 70….. only on a pension so I can do this occasionally. You need a golf cart, just clear a couple of bush paths with strimmer help with groceries and bags of food for ponies and the garden, just a suggestion which may not help you in your situation.🤷‍♀️❤️❤️🙋‍♀️I hope you have a notebook jotting down what and WHERE you plant with dates, if not please do so also with dates. I worked in a garden centre and grew food.. also if you run a 3 pronged hoe just to keep weeds out on these wet wet wet days..

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Thank you for your generosity - we appreciate you! 70 - what a great milestone, we hope you are enjoying yourself more with every year. We hope to get some form of motorised assistance, be it golf cart, or quad bike anything to help us shift stuff around, this kind of luxury will have to wait until the deadline for our final inspection in August passes. Re: Gardening notebook - yes we do keep a little digital diary, although I have missed a few entries, and it frustrates everytime I look at the plants and wonder what the details were! Hoe is definitely an investment which is happening soon - some weeds are starting to creep into the no-dig beds slowly. Happy new year!

[@lisamoore6680]

Amazing job so far!!! Really impressive work. It is wonderful seeing both husband and wife working together.

Brilliant vlog guys. The bloopers had me laughing so much my cheeks hurt. You have both worked hard so far. I love watching your videos each week, watching the progress you're making. Take care and stay safe. Happy new year 2025.

[@billneoorg]

Love your channel! As someone who moved to West Cork 18 years ago to put own “homestead” I can relate. We had a few milking Kerry cows and after much trial and error found milking goats to be much more manageable.

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Thanks for following along, a few folks have mentioned the virtues of the goats. I think we need to experience the trials and tribulations of a milk cow to see what all the fuss is about, before maybe joining the sensible folks like you :)

[@Thephilmills]

it's not that i think the renovation is slow, I'm just getting nervous on your behalf about the looming deadline for the house being habitable 🤔🥴 All the same your show is something i look forward to on a Sunday, I love hearing the english banter it makes me feel at home.

[@KateAshworth]

Yay for the bloopers and my fave being number 1 😋 the hotness one was hilarious too 😂

[@helenstewart2085]

Love watching you two work as a couple, am married to someone who doesn't want to know about the problems of household, my job or anything else. But it's what happens to all Farmers wives you either have to work on the farm with them, or work in a job with no issues. Farming is 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days of farming.

[@neutonrenda2303]

I totally disagree with the time label, you guys have done so much already in extreme conditions I will say. To have a full-time job and start from scratch to homestead, then the cottage and taking on KZbin all together is an achievement already. I think that you have been extremely successful and very motivating to watch, you guys are making it happen and that's the most important thing. Being so entertaining in the process is a bonus of course. Best wishes for the new year and a very Happy New Year from Cape Town.❤️

Really enjoy having watched your content from the start, thank the algorithms for that, they can spot a sadwap like me from a mile away! It’s great what you’re all doing and I appreciate the explanation about the ponies. As an aspiring smallholder though you’d be forgiven for working the one that can be trained, unless you rather intend your place to be a sanctuary, which would be equally admirable , if not as self sustaining.

Kayvan is spot on about staving off dementia, keeping mentally active, a good sugar free diet, etc, are important. As are racquet sports apparently, or even juggling. So there's another use for those swedes. Perhaps you can set out a deck tennis court? Or road bowling along the lane. Thanks for sharing this, the humour is great, even the unsaid ones. I'm sure you have brought some lovely energy to your local community. Best wishes for 2025.

My wife & I recently purchased a mountain cabin in western NC. I hope to bring some off gridding/homesteading/renovating to that property. We spent a couple weeks in Ireland a couple years ago & I personally found it to be a location I could find as home. As with alot of Americans, I too have ancestry from your part of the world.

Hi from Wisconsin. Thanks for update

[@Britbabe53]

Hubby and I planned our entire retirement around a newly acquired 37 foot Georgetown Bus. After spending about 2 years in it, it became exceedingly apparent that these units were NOT really made for full-time living. Leaks are common and things are just plastic for the most part. I can certainly empathize with how many things have gone wrong in your camper. You are champions of keeping a light heart on all you do on your homestead. It will all pay off in the end. Cheers!

[@offgridirishhomestead]

Wow - 37 foot bus sounds great, our campervan is 24 foot, which was already challenging to navigate on some of the tighter roads around towns - you guys must be some special drivers!

Did you all garden this much before your trip around Europe because I think you all have been very successful! The lady who loves your overcast weather appreciates your gardening skills and I find it an inspiration! I have a goal to grow and preserve more, but it can't be garlic with a child having a severe allergy to it. In our tiny yard, I just try to grow what we like, but thank you for the inspiration. Can't wait to see more preserving and what you keep in the freezer. Thanks and happy new year.

Our kitchen is about two thirds finished after nearly ten years. We've done other things in between, and several years caring for an elderly mother made progress impossible. So join the club! Things take as long as they take!

Not just us then! :)

You make even the Q&As funny, in fact you are pretty awesome all of you. I am looking forward to seeing more in 2025.
