Well,even this early on I think many of the naysayers will be rethinking their initial tear it down thoughts.what a lovely thing to be able to to look at this ❤wee dwelling and see it as a considerable addition to the good things you’ve done on this earth

[@johnhyde8892]

My dad has always said the Hitachi machines are the best machine on the market, he was a machine driver for over 40 years. The house is going to look lovely when done.

[@stephaniedeegan853]

Please rebuild as much you can. Just love you progress

[@darcistephan3121]

I’m glad you’re a preservationist and not just knocking it down!!

[@maurawhelan3530]

Don’t mind ppl saying tear it down. They don’t get it and never will. You are saving the history and charm and all the money can’t buy either. Thank you for restoring. I’ve restored a house and the satisfaction is tremendous! Enjoy the process as we enjoy watching. Best from a first generation Irisher in Fl

[@dmmaid7917]

Thank you so much for preserving the history of this old building...in Canada you don't see them saved but torn down...the loss of history...

[@catherinebeaudry5661]

I am so happy to hear your plans for this lovely old family home.🇨🇦🇨🇮❤

[@woodand]

good work !! could watch your man in his digger for hours ! what a skill!

[@markmcg7728]

Great progress with a great team. Agree keep original building as a nod to the past. And surely you know the wife is always right!

[@roygosling2317]

Can’t imagine how much time it would have taken to get that work done 100 years ago It’s nice to restore rather than replace

[@scootytamra]

This cottage to me, is worth saving, if people tear down all the older homes, there will be no examples left to look back on. Sometimes the older homes are built a hell of alot better than new homes! I love it!

[@adriandoyle8809]

that digger man has talent looks class. keep it going great project just shows that irish farmers are the best at looking after our countryside

[@TheSurvivor1963]

The excavator driver did absolutely cracking work. Hopefully the builders will do the same with the house. Best of wishes for the renovation project.

[@PeterOlsen-c2u]

Gerry is a master of the steam shovel .

[@cynthiabruns7178]

I think it’s great that you’re restoring the old cottage rather than building a new one.

[@denisemeredith2436]

The cottage has its own historic beauty and looks far better than a modern dwelling made from flim flam. The cottage will look stunning when it is restored and I am looking forward to watching its transformation Gerry has done a marvellous job with all the grading work too - he works like a trojan. Hope you have a great week.

[@AneyStokes771]

Hitachi operators love a drop of tea Adrian

[@philbarrance]

The digger operator is a bloody artist

[@nanachick05]

The land looks great!! I loathe when people say “Tear it down” while in the same breath they want to save the earth. The building is very salvageable, many good parts that are good and can be still used. I love to watch you work to save the old girl, it’s a part of Irish history & saving history is always a good thing.

[@thetessellater9163]

Were these old cottages abandoned with grant money to build new homes back in the day ?

[@sadjaxx]

So much done! Lovely look of the place. Your wife has vision.

[@Billio68]

I see a beautiful cottage that needs TLC, whoa you tear it down chumps! Can’t wait to see how it progresses

[@josephinebloodgood4734]

Yes! I wouldn't be watching if this was a tear down and new build! Great work!

[@teenaoakleyart2700]

I’m so glad you are restoring this lovely cottage and not destroying it. There are new houses going up all over the place, it’s so good to actually see someone appreciate what has been built many years ago. I’ve subscribed with notifications as I am so eager to see the house and plot transformed. You guys are doing a cracking job, Gerry is a proper craftsman with that digger! Looking forward to the next episode 😊

[@douglasmorton6121]

Your mate, Jerry, did a fantastic job! Looks great!!!

[@judithmalan1502]

I agree "new builds are boring"- and RESTORATION is exciting: preservation of history is vital, as a foundation...

[@judithmalan1502]

Watching Jerry and his machine is like watching a ballet...

[@traceyhacking7109]

It looks great! Keep the old, too often the old things are binned and new is BLAH and boring. This wee house has such character and history!! The Mrs. was right.

[@DOGSARETHEBEST.]

Gerry is an artist with the digger. One wrong swing and that poor, old cottage wouldn't last long. With Adrian calling him a great man to work, that's seriously high praise indeed. Really looking forward to seeing this project through with ye. Awesome family & community to be fair.

[@clockendfarm]

Yer man did a FANTASTIC job on that bank! Holy macaroni, that is jaw-dropping!! Just found your channel and you've gained an avid follower. Thanks for sharing.

[@arlenefarmery7520]

Looking better already. Taking shape.

[@glennbrennan7999]

Just started watching the cottage videos from the start - proper good work, Gerry is superb and your some fella yourself

[@craigmcdonald2]

Gerry’s an artist

[@ccrm10]

I agree not to do a tear down, restore it! The yard is looking great. Have fun while doing this.

[@ciaranconeely8579]

Comment for the algorithm to help the channel.

[@desh2416]

One brilliant digger driver an everybody can see the true protenshall of the property now will go forward from strength to strength well done good work so far. The only way is up for the old cottage now

[@adrian_dickinson]

If your happy, we are happy. There is excitement in your voice about the project, that is not farm related. something different from your normal farming routine. In the end it will be great & a asset.

[@cherylmcnair5594]

Lovely watching you guys restoring that old house, see you next time 😊

[@Essexkiwi]

Greetings from New Zealand: all the best in the challenges ahead. My wife and will be following you on a regular basis.😊

[@jgg59]

There’s something about a restoration that is so satisfying

[@seantormey3531]

Great job. Gerry is very skilled at his work. Congratulations at going over 85 thousand subscribers.

[@jimpolk]

Happy Father's Day Adrian!🏆

[@JustDiane71]

Wow!!! Beautiful! Driving the digger looks so fun BUT one wrong move ...oops. 😆 everything is looking awesome!!!

[@carolinenavin4836]

I love the way that you are keeping everything oragil

[@karynwallace8556]

Warmest Greetings from New Zealand 👋 What an AWESOME project 🙌 Can’t wait to see the transformation 😁 Beautiful spot and surroundings 👍 I absolutely agree about working with the character of the building instead of new build . Jerry did fantastic job 👏 with the Digger and levelling etc. The machinery they have these days are amazing 😊. Where I live, we got severely hit by a cyclone 🌀 700 homes here were very damaged, a lot unliveable. We had a beautiful caravan park here, all destroyed. But it’s been really fascinating to watch all the machinery removing all the silt, digging all the trenches for water and power etc. The workers have been outstanding. Still loads of work to do . Should be open to the public by December hopefully ☺️. But thank you for sharing with us viewers this exciting project 🏡🌷🤸‍♀️🛠️🌻 NZ

[@maricogan2903]

Hell-o from Florida. IFarm WeFarm just popped into my KZbin feed. I am delighted to meet your channel and look forward to seeing how your homestead evolves. Best of luck.

[@bobuncle8704]

The yard work has already transformed this lovely little cottage

[@michaelmcclafferty3346]

Well done , great job. Please rebuild the stone pier in memory of those who built it and the cottage originally.

[@Andbygrace7024]

Your respect for the site....is admiredable

[@SleepyCatCottage]

Loving your channel. What a great job of grading and creating more level areas around the building. Can tell you are having fun! Watching from North Carolina USA.

[@mostlydiggers]

Fair play to the digger man, he did a great job.

[@HensOnly]

WOW! Great work and I can't wait to see the progress on the cottage!

[@dnovello]

Love it!! Beautiful property; made even more practical and, ultimately, more beautiful!!! Amazing ground work!!

[@peterunderdown4374]

Looking fantastic ,real farm is developing.

[@Gardengirl4]

What a massive difference looking good.

[@TadhgIrish]

Cracking video. That’s a great job on the site. He is some serious operator

[@jenesisjones6706]

WOWSERS! Incredible differences already!

[@magcurran100]

Well done.... Great work.... it's looking good!

[@SEPK09]

Great things take time. Liking the "next time intro" at the end :)

[@dekdek551]

Absolutely 💯 brilliant, what a transformation allready.

[@martincraig-je4vo]

Jerry's some man beautiful job done. Keep up the good work there Adrian 👍👍👀

[@adrianbeamish4681]

Amazing bit of landscaping good start to the project

[@robdixon945]

We applaud your family's recognition of the very hard work it would have taken to build this home. Adrian you and Gerry have done some beautiful earthworks around the house, follow your hearts it will look awesome 👌

[@1ninjatiger]

Great work..looks fab. Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tomshaw9065]

Definitely renovate (especially if you can get a grant!). I was amazed a Gerry's skill with the excavator - at times dig out great chunks and at others using a really gentle touch to get the stones level and packed down.

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Adrian aye your right it’s easy to pull it all down I think you made the right decision leaving a lot of it up nice work and Gerry is very handy on the excavator 👌

[@Grainne700]

Hello Adrian. Found you on you tube by accident. Very interested in your work on restoring the old cottage. We are living in a small town in Co Cork, Im originally from Limerick city and my partner is from Newmarket, Co cork. He knows a lot about farming as many of his friends are farmers but I know very little. I know much more today having spend hours last night watching your videos. What I found intriguing and kept me pressing next on your channel was not the farming per se but you and your work ethic. Your attention to detail; your neatness, structure; planning, organisation skills is admirable. I’m very much interested in learning more about the restoration of the cottage and look forward to your future videos on this project We have an offer in on an old Irish cottage ourselves, keep your fingers crossed for us; like you; we intend to restore it even though most would advise us to knock it and start again

[@TomHamilton54]

I like how they are not just putting in filler they are planning for regrowth.

[@karolschulz48]

My favorite Irishman! You make my Sundays, sure wish you had more videos. But I know we'll that this is the busy time of the year for a farmer. Did you do a video introducing yourself and where you live? If you did could you leave the name of it I will find it. What part of Ireland do you live? Just wanna learn where in the world you are and how far north or whatever direction you are. Anyway, thank you for making my Sundays much brighter. Happy father's day. Pray for rain we are getting plenty short of rain in the central United States.

[@pharvalleyaussies6215]

Excited to see progress on your rustic cottage

[@roryredmond7378]

Great job Adrian, well done to Gerry to. 👍

[@amme30]

Adrian, it looks so good! Gerry is powerful at grading

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Great job with the excavator. It will be a great project 👍👍😊

[@benlulham8217]

Going to make a lovely cottage, well done on another great video.

[@dawnmay6380]

Loving your videos so far and will follow you all the way through your cottage renovation and now it’s got me watching your ifarm wefarm as well. Watching from Perth, Western Australia by the way. We love Ireland and have been there twice all over the place and it’s my favourite country apart form Australia of course. Love your Irish accent Adrian, I could listen to you all day.

[@deneb.9798]

The house has charm as it is, I would stay in the finished product. Ummm Sinead is right lol The digger driver is awesome worth his weight in gold.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Good to see that you're going forward with your cottage work. Really nice to see that you now have over 85k subscribers!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Thank you

[@haggielady]

I'm so glad you're going to renovate the cottage. When it's done it will look lovely. Gerry is a man who is "one with his machine." It's an extension of his hands on a grand scale.

[@radharcanna]

A great bit of landscaping work there Adrian. It’s looking good already.

[@EamonDunne-g7l]

Watching all the way from Australia.. great work and look forward to updates!

[@carliem9494]

Gerry’s an artist!

[@nobbybrown8056]

Wow an amazing amount of work and very high quality work, you can tell the digger driver has a natural ability to 'feel' the land as he works it. This is getting very exciting, you must be over the moon with it. Well done everyone.

[@BestUserNameUK]

Fantastic groundwork. Very skilled 360 operator👍🏼

[@paraicjoyce286]

Great job I am looking forward to watching the progress

[@kimburke575]

I’m so glad to see the old home being restored. Would love to see the old stone posts restored and replaced as they would add so much to the historical feel of the site.

[@kimchipman524]

Me too, never made it to Ireland just feasted on your history through books, movies and documentaries. Australia has had a lot of Irish settlers through the years. Keep up your project and you’re doing a wonderful job 👏👏

[@beverleygreen6125]

just found your channel as I just love watching the transformations of these old homes. Must say you do have your work cut for you on this one. Can't wait to see the end result. Bust of luck

[@marktrower2267]

Starting to look good can't wait for next episode

[@lorrainegibson2411]

Thrilled to see progress already . A joy to see this being preserved .

[@sandraanderson217]

Jerry is amazing! It’s like he has a third arm! Love that you are restoring and not taking it down. Love watching the process. Can’t wait until the Boss finishes with her designing! Lol❤️ Stay safe!

[@umbraavem4687]

The house even though is rather dilapidated does have a charm about it and is certainly well worth saving and renovating, keep up the good work.

[@diggmore1362]

I agree it would be so easy to just knock it down and erase that

[@CB-xr1eg]

I agree, on last week's video there were several people in the comments saying just knock it down and rebuild. That seems like the lazy option to me and all the charm and character would be lost forever. As Adrian said, it's a renovation, not a new build. it looks much better already with the landscaping they've done.

[@TR-rz1xt]

Is funny, I had two words in my mind for those who said to just knock it down, 'easy' and 'lazy' - and here are just two comments saying exactly that!! Of course it's entirely more difficult and labour intensive to renovate it, but (imo!) it's the right thing to do. You cannot replace this history once it's demolished. Love your approach Adrian and Sinead, and Gerry's work is outstanding!!

[@barryamos4920]

Enjoyed the video,you’re doing it right keeping as much of the old as practicable it will add to the overall charm and character. Looking forward to the next video

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s what I was thinking too, a new build would probably be easier but all it’s history and the people that past though it over the decades would be gone

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Wow! What a difference! He’s an artist with that machine. This little house is going to be beautiful. I can’t wait to see it being loved back to life.🤗❤️🐝

[@corrineyoung5934]

WOW, looking great!

[@Eamo-21]

Going to be a lovely project. Enjoy the journey!

[@marctunney3743]

Can't beat a paddy on a 360 Adrian top vid top man you helped me more than you know getting knee done in 3 weeks and 95 % keep the good job coming

[@roomullan3050]

No to tearing it down. It will always have a bit of history to it. Am absolutely loving watching this as it evolves. I hope you turn it into a holiday let. I want to come and enjoy that fantastic spot you live in. Your very lucky. And thanks for your videos

[@jameskyle380]

The transformation of the grounds looks great. The back wall can finally breath. Great to get it cleared at the back and keep any water away from the building. Did a similar job in Co Limerick. Old cottage, tin roofed 70 years prior and still old thatch in the roof. Water was it's biggest trouble. Land drains all around and ditch dug out as silted up/overgrown.

[@PhilyCul]

One of the things I wait for mostly on youtube is a new video from IFarm WeFarm. As a lad from Dublin who moved down the country seeing all tractors etc going about, an insight is a fantastic thing to witness. Thank you for the great content. Keep them coming!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Your welcome buddy, glad you enjoy them. Have a few Dublin lads married in beside us here, there b’s good football banter between us 😂

[@marydooley4734]

I'm so glad you highlighted Jerry, because I was indeed admiring Jerry's work & thinking, "Well done, Jerry."

[@paulcundy410]

Its an exciting project. I, looking forward to all the updates.

[@randybutler4772]

Really does look so much better already Adrian. Very good drone shots seeing the progress is exciting. Thank you for sharing.🐄

[@johnperry5102]

that work that you are doing to that old building is starting to look really grand, it's going to look super when its done
