Dèjà vu In Our Irish Farmhouse: Sheep's Wool Insulation!

[@roxannsoderquist25]

I am watching this On Oct. 18, 2024. Trying to binge watch to catch up to current videos. Happy Birthday Dawn. It is such a pleasure watching you & Ben, your positive, often humorous outlooks. Don't stop chatting 😀 I love the banter.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you, not long until it’ll be my birthday again now 😂

[@chisamosa]

Not only is Die Hard a Christmas movie….it’s the BEST Christmas movie 😂😂 That was a long beeeeep when that board dropped, I wonder what Ben said 🤔

[@thecornerhouseproject]

I am not sure about it being the BEST Christmas movie but it is a good one hahaha. Thinking back, and if my memory serves me correctly, I said "Oh dear me Dawn, the board slipped from my hand and has damaged all the corner as it hit the floor". Word to that effect anyway hahaha. Thank you Chisamosa for watching so many videos and commenting :-)

[@thecornerhouseproject]

At present we’ve had to put some clear silicone on to a couple of the slates to stop the rain but we will,get the roof sorted a bit better at some point. Thanks for the tip for the bad wood. We hope to be able either replace those of at least sister them maybe if we can’t replace any of them.

[@meredythrochman8941]

Dawn, I love you and Ben! You are so real! Not like the other chateaux! I love them too, but in a different way! I have done restorations with no money too, so appreciate the extra hard work it takes! You are doing amazingly! I worry when I can’t Get an update on you, and applaud you after every episode! Go bless! Keep having fun as you “build” your new home! If I had an extra dime, i would send it along, ButI don’t, unfortunately. Just know I am with you episode by episode. Meredyth from Vancouver Island, Canada

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Awww 🥰 Thank you Meredyth! That means soo much! Don’t worry about the dimes…just knowing you’re here supporting us is enough for us! It does make it a little more challenging when the budget isn’t massive, but it does mean you get forced into being a little more creative with your thinking and do lots of the things that require little to no money 😂 The good thing is we have all the tools we need now to do most things and that helps immensely and we have electric! Woo hoo. We also have amazing neighbours who have helped sooo much it’s quite mind blowing!

[@sharonschauer3257]

I just love your channel! Congrats on each room coming together! I know you worry but the kitty will be so much happier after his surgery.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Sharon. It is lovely to have rooms which do what they should do. Just the shower to still being indoors, but it will get done. Only a few days until he has his little op but he should be much more comfortable once he is over it. Not sure he will ever get over his bottom half being done at the same time though. But we haven't told him that bit. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

You could write a book: The Journey of Going to Sleep. The sheepwool insulation is great, more eco friendly than the yellow stuff. You now have 3 of the 4 rooms usable, possibly even more now. That was another good episode from you. Hope your cat will do well at the vets😊

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you! Yes…Haha we could, it’s been a long time coming, getting into a bedroom! All 4 rooms are useable now which is blooming brilliant, to not be going to bed in your kitchen is a revelation! He doesn’t know it yet but he can’t eat after 6pm the night before…he is not going to be impressed because he’s a little tubby man!

[@leelou36]

Isnt that hole in the roof, where you can see sky through, going to make the wool wet? lol....i'm worrying about you, And Die Hard is a Christmas Movie,,,,and every other day, Yippee Kayeh Mofos,,,,Love to you,xx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting :-) You don't need to worry, everything is going to plan. A slower plan that we first had, but we are dry, warm and have a fully functioning house..... except the shower is currently still outside. It looks like a whole but it in fact a whole lot of clear mastic. When the ridge tiles were done he simply used mastic to bung the holes on the slates he couldn't get to originally. I think there is three tiles like that. So everything is watertight now. Not pretty from the underneath, but watertight lol. Yeo, most definitely a Christmas film.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Haha, I think there were three holes but each one has been filled with clear sealer. We are happy to say that the roof is drip free and dry. Thank you for watching and commenting on our videos :-)

Hope you had a wonderful birthday!! You’re both doing such a great job!!! About the cold coming in over the stairs, if you have a large piece of plastic, I would put it over that window. It might help a bit!! We’ve done that before. 👍

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Birthday was lovely, thank you. We are getting there, the large bits are done so we can enjoy each room now. We have some of the cling film type secondary glazing to put up, that helps somewhat. We now also have curtains up at both windows on the landing, these really make a difference. Sadly we didn't get to finish the landing, so we still have that to insulate fully, that will make a huge difference again. Thank you so much Josefina for watching and commenting :-)

Love the kittens, they are so cute. The insulation has made aa big difference I bet. Replacing those timbers in the roof , might be a bit of a challenge. But I'm sure you will make it work. Hope, you're in your bedroom by now. We'll done you two. You just keep at it, getting things done. Love seeing your progress everything.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good morning :-) They are cute, little sods and in to everything. At the moment they are running around upstairs and it sounds like we have horses up there. The insulation has made a big difference. Not perfect (look out for the next video later on) but a huge change from cold to not as cold lol. Yes, we go into our bedroom, electric blanket on and sleeping like logs. The house also now functions like a house. The collar ties are a simple job but the couple of rafters will need doing when the tiles on the roof get done. Whenever that will be. The main thing is that they are no longer getting wet and all the timbers are drying out nicely. Thanks as always for watching and commenting :-)

It also gives us the confidence going into the next 13months, that we can do what needs to be done! Oh, to sleep in a bedroom is soooo good! Makes it all feel more like normal life again.

[@dorygeancunningham8027]

Happy New year! Yes Ben, Die Hard is a Christmas movie, it takes place at Christmas. Not all Christmas movies have to be happy family, some can be about a take over of an office builder and some poor guy wants to have Christmas with his wife who is trapped there and nobody is going to keep him from having a great Christmas….lol! Anyway, I hope you both enjoyed the holidays….the next big controversial question: when do you take your decorations down? We wait till 12th night, but not everyone does.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahaha exactly, now doesn’t that sound like the perfect heartwarming Christmas film when you read back your synopsis!🤣🤣 Our decorations are down already, we googled it and it said as long as you take them down before the 6th it’s fine, so we did, but we’ve since been told don’t take them down UNTIL the 6th 🫣…so heres hoping the bad luck doesn’t come our way!

You'll be comfy warm this winter - good work. Hoping Alan's operation went well (by the time we see this it would have already been done), he and Steve are so sweet. I'm sure the kitchen table was a wonderful addition to Christmas day. Until next time - keep well.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Tracy. Nope, Alan is at the Vet on the 9th so he has a few more days of keeping hold of his boy parts! I have to say I'm not looking forward to him going as I worry about him with the op on his eye 😩 I know it will make his life a lot better once it's done though. Poor little man. They are sweetest little boys...so loving and friendly. The kitchen table is bloody marvelous! Made Christmas dinner that much better! 😋

I know and we’re really sorry but we are trying our hardest to catch back up to date. We have mentioned in a few previous videos that we were about 4-6 weeks behind but that we would try and catch up for the new year and we are sooo close, so please stick with us while we do finally get there. We put up the Christmas decorations one just because it’s a little more time sensitive. We slowed down the work over the Christmas period so we may only have one or two more before we are back up to date. Happy New Year to you too 🎉

I am sure you had a nice cosy bedroom .I am sure Lukas really enjoyed his Christmas 🎄 also.Take care and A very happy and prosperous New Year to you all God bless xx

Thank you Colette, we had a lovely Christmas and to be able to sit around the table and have Christmas dinner was blooming lovely! 🥰 I’m trying to remember and I think Christmas Day was a relax day and I think St Stephen’s was too…but then right back to it, but more normal stuff, like rearranging the kitchen and having a general tidy. Still a little chilly in the bedroom but sooo much better than before! We hope for a very prosperous and happy new year for you too! Xx

[@johnoneill5812]

Excellent progress as always!!! Although the insulation is not very thick what you have installed will make a huge difference. Keeping the heat in will keep out the damp. I enjoyed all the Die Hard movies but they dont do much for "peace on earth" at Christmas:) Best regards.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thanks John. It is 100mm thick, much thinner when first unrolled, but soon fluffs up to the 100mm. It has made a huge difference although we need to do a bit of work in places. Look out for the next video and you will see why. The first Die Hard was by far the best, but no, not much love to speak of going on hahaha. Thank you as always.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Bugger, I replied to this and it vanished :-( Because we will smoke bomb plenty we didn't treat the timbers, although there is only a tiny bit of evidence of wood worm. With the roof space now dry, and the fact that we will treat them fully when the ceilings get done properly, we haven't done them yet. Everything else remaining in the house has been soaked to within a inch of its life. Happy new year to you Jason. All the best for 2024.

Will the leaky roof get any of the insulation wet? If so it may ruin the insulation factor

[@thecornerhouseproject]

The roof is dry now. The bit which looks like it is a hole is in fact filled with clear mastic as a temporary measure for the winter and rains. Luckily all the roof is now drip free, which we were able to check before we started with any of the insulation. It took us that long between the ceilings being removed and the insulation going up, we has loads of rain so could see if any water was dripping. The good news is there wasn't a single drip in any weather. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi, thank you for watching and commenting :-) 100mm once it expands to it's full thickness. It seems wafer thin when it is first unrolled. We could have done between the rafters but there isn't sufficient gap for air between the slates and wool, according to the manufacturer. We will be using tongue and groove panels, like the ones we took down in pervious videos. We will go with thicker ones though for the added insulation.

This video was basically a duplicate of insulating the other bedroom ceiling which I think was about 53 minutes long. That will have talking in it too. We have always talked a lot in our videos, either explaining what we are doing, what we have done, maybe a bit of history that we have recently learned about the house or outbuildings. This video was a lot of waffle down the the fact that doing this ceiling changed how we could live our lives with our own bedroom, a living room and a kitchen and how we were able to have a normal Christmas in our new house. Sorry we bore you with our waffle. Maybe you will hit lucky if you pick another video of ours and we are not talking as much. Thank you for half watching and then commenting though.
