DIY Pallet Log Store & Stone Barn Repairs: This Week At Our Irish Farmhouse

[@zarahunt771]

Dawn, how could we ever get bored watching you point the gable end of your barn or any other pointing come to that. Everything is beginning to come together now with the log store looking so smart and tidy and the water storage moved and covered. Well done to both of you for all the hard work you are putting into your house and garden, its an absolute treat to view each video as it comes out. Thank you.😊

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Awwww thank you so much Zara. It can get boring watching the same think over and over but it is something that needs to be done to move forward. We try to not too much of the exact same thing if we can help it and have other things to show too. The log store, although not finished does make it look a lot tidier, still some bits to do on it, but looking good and keeping the rain off. Thank you so much for your kind words Zara :-) See you next week.

[@scottsorby7966]

Ben you've made a top job of the wood store like you say it makes the house look far more lived in. As always Dawn you are returning the strength to that wall inch by inch then stone by stone and the difference to how it looks now compared to how it did look its very clear that now it's not ready to collapse with a raised voice. You are both returning the missing love to the homestead with your care and attention and the land will be much happier for it.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We have plenty of love to give it. It is all it needs really, that and maybe a bit of work here and there lol. Removing the top stones from that gable will be so much safer now Dawn has put all of the strength back in the lower sections. Hopefully it will be at that point this week. Odd how some pallets make a difference to how a place is perceived, it just looks tidier and has a function, where as the pile of logs before we exactly that, just a pile of logs. Thank you as always Scott for watching and commenting :-)

[@christinadaykin3893]

Wall is looking amazing what a difference love to seeing buildings getting restored 😊keep up the momentum xx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you so much Christine. Getting closer to the top on this wall now, still so much to do, not to mention the collapsed bit inside still. Thank you again :-)

[@ChristineKelly1000]

Isn’t it great when people appreciate your hard work all the same?

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It really is…gives you that boost to keep going! 💪

[@nevisscot7697]

Congrats on the 20k....if i think of 1 year ago the muck you ploughed through....you have made great progress ..pleased for you both..👍👍

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Oh there was lots of mud and mess everywhere. Month by month we seem to be making progress. A little here and a little there..... we are getting there and enjoying it all. Thanks so much for always joining us :-)

[@jeanrichardson2044]

Only a temporary solution, but out comes the spirit level, and checked on every angle. Not my way of doing a temporary solution.😊😊😊

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahahaha, Well I said it might be temporary, it has to look level lol. Looking at it now, we will be keeping how it is but maybe change it's location at a later date. We just didn't want to the logs to get all wet again over the winter. Thank you for watching and commenting Jean. I will try to leave the level in the shed next temporary job haha.

[@jackie4286]

Soon that gable end will be stable. Great work, Dawn. What a relief that will be and then the roof.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Nearly a roof..... maybe haha. The collapsed section inside still needs to be rebuilt and then the top of the walls. Not sure we will get a roof on before winter sadly, but it won't be for Dawn's lack of trying. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Jackie :-)

[@patkilmurray4702]

I bet your daughter is mega proud of her very talented parents, great log store and very professional stone work. It's looking great.❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Pat, how are you? I think she is yes lol. She loves it here. The peace, the surroundings and the cows haha. Thank you as always :-)

[@indijen]

So impressive! Glad to hear you are going to remove the ivy in bits so that you can reinforce with liming along the way.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Yes, a few rows at a time now as we want to remove the top stones by hand instead of them falling. All of that ivy is also ready for burning so that will go straight in the fire as it is removed :-) Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

Great progress this week - wood storage is brilliant - pointing looks amazing ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Alida, we are getting there slowly :-)

So happy to see your update!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Hillary and thanks for watching :-) See you next Sunday.

[@bergannon6585]

Admire your hard work and nothing is too much attitude. I have no doubt that within another year, you will have created a little slice of heaven and I am excited to enjoy that journey, from the comfort of my armchair 🤣. Very best of luck, you both deserve it. Blessings from Co. Meath. 🌹❤️🌹

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Joining us from the comfort of your armchair is all that is needed to keep us happy, so thank you :-) Hopefully we will be a lot further forward this time next year. The massive jobs like the joists needing doing have been done, now it is everything else. We will get there. Thank you for joining us :-)

[@bobbiebrandel3152]

Ben you are becoming the on-a-budget carpenter of the year! Love the woodshed. Perfect! And Dawn, you are just pointing away and it looks so nice, so complete really. Your videos are my Sunday treat. I know that everything is right with the world when I can hear from you two. Enjoy your company and have a wonderful week ahead.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Awwwwww Bobbie, what a lovely thing to say, thank you very much. We had a lovely weekend thank you, it went by too quickly but there will be other times in the future. See you Sunday and thank you as always :-)

[@edhughes8619]

Stone works looks amazing Dawn, what a transformation. Can't wait to see it complete.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Just the gable complete will look great won't it. Not sure we will get a roof on it this year as time is passing so quickly, but we will try our best. Thank you Ed :-)

Yay, 20K subs! Congratulations Dawn and Ben!! Your yard is improving every day!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed Irish Dancer :-)

[@lindaostrowski4103]

I just love both of you 🎉. I have a solution to the back of of the ruin take down the stones and make a door in its place this way less work and you can access the back of building. Also you can take your time removing stump when it rots. Also you might whant to cut trees from inside the farmers ruin so it doesn't knock down wall that backs up to you patio. Good luck keep things going your doing a great job I too would have removed all the dirt ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

I think the wall will be coming down in that area as it’s been pointed about by a stonemason that it’s too dangerous to work on and just repair it as it isn’t tied into the gable very well so come next year it will come down and be rebuilt, which also allows us to tackle the root from the inside as well which should make it easier to contend with. I was thinking the same with the trees in the farmers outbuilding, we might see what he says about trying to take some down.

[@MsAgatha1Eta]

I'm enjoying all your videos immensely. Wish I could lend a hand. From WV 🇺🇸

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww that's great that you are enjoying them Ms. Agatha. Even if you were closer, we would just make you a cuppa of tea and sit and chat haha. We do love to procrastinate :-) Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

[@kimrafferty7170]

I am so glad that your channel is growing in numbers, you deserve all the success because you work so hard bless your hearts, I have thanked Billy a couple of times for doing the link to your channel, congratulations and here's to the next 20.000. I cannot believe the weather you are having, it has done nothing but rain for weeks here, we had a couple of warmer days 3 weeks ago but since then it is just grey clouds, rain and really cold. The building your working on Dawn looks amazing and it was so nice to hear you say you are happy with what you have done and with Ben now making that wood store the outside has changed dramatically this year. I hope you have a lovely week and that you have had a few good days so you can get as much done outside before the weather changes for the next few months. Love to you both and the kitty cats ❤xxxx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Kim, we are so sorry for the late reply, we are trying to catch up so we are 100% up to date with all comments.... it may take some time lol. Thank you for the congratulations on 20k, hopefully 21k soon. The weather was lovely, it is getting colder now though and more rain is forecast. Thank you as always Kim for watching, lovely comments and of course for being a channel member :-)

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Amazing progress----back-breaking work as well. Enjoy your visit with your daughter.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Lizette. Now Dawn is not having to bend down to ground level she is a lot happier. She is really looking forward to getting the higher rows done. It will look great. We have had a lovely weekend thank you, went by far too fast, but had a lovely time all the same. Thank you for watching and commenting Lizette :-)

[@colettelavery7452]

Dawn and Ben your stonework and woodshed are looking fantastic. Enjoy your daughters visit and have a lovely weekend God bless you both xx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you so much Colette, your words are very kind. We had a nice weekend and already looking forwards to the next time they are over :-) Thank you as always xx

[@dorygeancunningham8027]

Love the wood shed and Dawn you are just a master at learning a new skill and making it look effortless. Have a wonderful visit with your daughter. See ya next week and maybe the gable parent done.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good afternoon Dory, how are you? It seems so long since I replied to you (or anyone actually) I hope you are well :-) That would be lovely with the gable pointed up wouldn't it. The weather isn't supposed to be too bad this week, not great but not too bad, so fingers crossed and we will see how she gets on. Have you thought about playing, Resident Evil? Unless you have already played it, would love to see you twitch it. RE 1 is a great puzzle game really, but maybe not up your street.

[@joeyspesh7813]

I’m part of the Stay Til The End Of The Video Crew! Wooo. I don’t know what it is about you two but I could watch you do pointing all day where with other house restorers I watch on fast forward 😂

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very very much indeed, that is very kind of you to say so :-)

[@ellenchapman5293]

What a thoughtful and well deserved surprise for Dawn, you've earned a bit of fun family time after the work you've put in m'dear, enjoy! Ben, you're a good 'un. The log store looks great, when the roof is on it should look really rather smart :)

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good evening Ellen. Dawn really does deserve a surprise now and then as she looks after us so well and still does all the repairs and renovations, it is the least I can do. Keeping it a secret was the hardest part. Hopefully we will get nice roof sorted soon and a bit of dressing to make it all look finished. Thank you Ellen for always joining us :-)

[@johnoneill5812]

Good progress, wood shed looks good enough to camp in. By the way, the thumbnail captured you both at your very best with respect to joyful smiles and happiness.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good afternoon John, we hope you are well. Has your weather changed yet? Ours has suddenly become like it is the end of Autumn already. A little over engineered if anything, and a little bit more "dressing" to be done, but hopefully by the end of this week it will be sorted (maybe not the roof, we will see) Always a smile and always happy in the grand scheme of things :-) Thank you as always John for joining us :-)

[@luminyam6145]

Beautiful pointing, you really are the pointing Queen. Congratulations on 20k. Great little wood shed. I love your videos, they are fantastic. I am so happy I found you.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Luminya, that is really kind of you to say. I don't think Dawn will ever get bored of working with lime and stones. It is a labour of love. Yes, I am pleased with the wood store, still a bit to be done on it, hopefully this week. 20k subscribers is incredible, we can't believe it and thank you so much for being one of them :-)

Wow you guys have done so, so much! It's all looking fabulous 👌 Ben, what a beautiful surprise for Dawn, that was so awesome 😊 Dawn, that little building you're working on looks beautiful, you must feel so proud when you look at what you've achieved. It could become a lovely little apartment to rent out... 🤔 😊 The wood store looks really good Ben. I love pallets and what can be done with them 👏 See you guys next Sunday. Hope you've enjoyed your time with your daughter 😊🤗

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Louise, thank you for your comments :-) It was all in the pipeline for quite a while. A weekend is never long enough but it has been a lovely weekend all the same :-) My Sister keeps telling me it will be where her bed goes once it is finished. Hopefully there will be enough for her with all of the tools and stuff we plan to store in there haha. Pallets are great aren't they. Now I have found a little supply, hopefully we can get more things made. Thank you again Louise, and for watching. See you next week :-)

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you so much, we can't believe we have hit 20k, we are pleased you are one of them :-) Yes, a bit of "dressing" has been done to the wood shed now, still not the final roof though, I will get there. Dawn wall looks better and better each day. It is slow as she can't just rake it out, cutting a bit of ivy off at a time so to not pull out any stones, each day is closer to the top though :-) We had a lovely weekend, thank you :-) See you Sunday :-)

[@chisamosa]

Congratulations on your 20 thousand! 🎉 I was hoping we’d get to meet your daughter…. But hope you had a great visit

Watching and cheering you all the way from India!!

Sorry for the delay in replying but hopefully you’ve managed to see all the Ivy being removed from the outbuilding. Suffice to say, it’s a very very satisfying feeling getting rid of that once and for all!

Just so others know, you're not burning English Ivy ( Hedera helix) indoors. (Are you?) It is *extremely* toxic to humans and animals, i.e. kitties. It is also hard to dispose of in compost as the evil stuff roots easily, even if you chip it. Of course, Dawn & Ben have quite a fine selection of other brush and wood to choose from, especially from the mega-daily clearances in March this year. All that ash tree will make fine winter fires! The wood store is a thing of beauty, Ben. Toss a tarp over the top of the plywood and it should last the winter. Hopefully, it will last a few years for you. Dawn - I can hardly remember the disaster that building looked like even a few months ago. Really, really, really impressive job. I still remain in awe of you working in the constant rain.🧜‍♀🧜‍♂Go enjoy being with your daughter!❤❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hello :-) I have just replied to someone else saying a plastic cover might be the way forward as I still haven't got the steel roof on yet. It is going to rain for the next week so not sure when that will get done...... one day haha. The more the dead ivy gets removed the cleaner and brighter it all looks, then Dawn does her magic and it looks so strong. Getting closer to the top now, it is very exciting. With the rain due we are hoping we can create some form of cover so Dawn can carry on. We have a week of rain forecast. We have Googled and Googled and the only things we can find is where people speak about burning poison ivy. We couldn't find anywhere which says not to burn ivy though in Ireland or the UK. I haven't missed your email xx Thank you as always

Dawn is doing a great job, each morning when she uses the churn brush to bash what she did the day before show just how well she is doing. When that gable is finished it will be lovely.

What amazing progress the repointed wall. I think that without white washing I would like it better. Last months I have sawed and stacked all irregular wood branches in usable sizes that couldn't be chipped on piles for kindling or fire starters. But great job guys.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Wanda. It sounds like you have somewhere to put yours... ours was becoming just a pile of sticks and lumps of wood that had no place, hence finally the log store. I don't suppose you are free to saw and stack ours? hahahaha Non white washed would look nice but it will help protect the lime and easier to maintain in the future too.

Looking Good! That wall is looking great and the wood store is looking great Too! Getting some organizing is always Good! Too! Well done

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It's about time we got a bit of tidy outside. Every time we get it sort of tidy, we mess it all up again haha. Thanks for watching and commenting :-)

[@tracybush8115]

Great job on all 3 sections you were working on. Kitty Club seems active, your daughter will love seeing them all.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

The cats seem so happy. They are either on their own or in a group, normally up to no good haha. We thought Peaches would be hidden up for the weekend, but she was the one who came in for a fuss, Alan let us down I am afraid Tracy, we thought he would have been the brave one around strangers. Thanks for watching and commenting :-) :-)

My mum grew up on a farm just outside Leitrim village, her parents, 10 children and granny and, for a little while, five orphaned cousins as well, lived there and thrived. My cousin owns the farm now. I love watching your progress in resurrecting your old house. 🇦🇺

[@thecornerhouseproject]

I think at one point there were 14 people living in this house. Maybe not all at the same time as the older children left home. It’s a lovely place Leitrim, quite untouched really and we absolutely love living here! ❤️

Love the music and composition Ed. I just ordered a tote cover, I didn't know they existed, so thanks. Lovely pointing Dawn, you will be hiring yourself out as a professional soon,. ;) . great little pallet lean-to, another source for water collection, would look great with a plant box or two on top or even an experiential rooftop garden. You are getting to personalize and add your character more to the outside now, which from the look of you both, makes you proud and happy. Love your skull leggins Dawn! Just to let you both know - I'm visualizing the farmer selling that outbuilding to you two sooner than later, I figure it will be a nice little jite for me to stay in when I visit.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hiya Sharon :-) The IBC which had no cover originally wasn't nice at all after the sun had been on it for a good while, the others with the covers were fine, I was just waiting for the right time to clean them all out, move them and get them covered. It makes the world of difference to the water staying clear and inside of the IBC too. I just noticed another comment said Dawn could hire herself out, what a great idea. That is some good ideas with the roof. Gutter being added is something I want to do and just feed directly into the tank which collects from the barn, the flower boxes or even rooftop garden, now there is a great idea. We do hope so Sharon..... maybe one day it will happen :-) Those are Dawn's favourite leggings :-) Thank you for your lovely comments Sharon :-)

[@kathryncooper7452]

Wall's looking good Dawn and the woodstore is impressive Ben.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thanks Kath and nice to see you back. Hope you’re recovering well? Ben said you’d had your hip operation?

[@kathryncooper7452]

@thecornerhouseproject yes, op went well thanks, just long and boring recovery with up and down days.

[@neutonrenda2303]

Wow that's amazing, congratulations guys, I'm so happy for you, that is a huge amount of support and it doesn't surprise me. I love watching how well you guys take it all on. ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

20k subscribers is amazing and we are blown away by the support. Thank you for being one of them and of course for you continuing being a channel member :-)

[@jillfrancis8380]

Dawn, just want to say I'm so impressed with your lime pointing; I wonderred if that shed could be saved, thankfully you've proved me wrong. Wonderful wood store too Ben, great use of wood pallet. Well done the two of you.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It was a horrible shock when the roof came down last year and we saw the damaged walls inside. We didn't think we would still be working on it now but it is getting done. Not sure a roof will go on this year but we will try. Dawn's constant hard work on it is paying off and looking great. It would have been such a shame for the logs which have been drying out so nicely all summer to have spent a winter getting soaked again, it has also tidied that area up really well. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Jill :-)

[@karenomi1]

Dawn your pointing is beautiful! I wholeheartedly agree with all the other compliments you've received and to Ben, compliments well deserved for the 'log store' too! Really enjoying seeing all your progress and hearing all about your new life.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you ❤️

[@ellroyadventures]

That gable end looks lovely! Great job on the log store Ben. Hope you enjoyed your visitors. 😀

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you 🤩 yes the visitors were very much welcome and we had a lovely time.

[@cynthiabruns7178]

Great work all around. The pointing makes such an improvement, it’s a shame it needs to be whitewashed, but when you’ve put so much effort into pointing protection is important. The wood store is also a big step forward, now it just needs a water tight roof. Pallets make great building material.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Yeah it is a shame to hide it all but it’ll look beautiful all gleaming white with a new red roof, so I can live with that ❤️

[@deranocasper]

Beautiful stone building pointing is brilliant Thing j worked out for me here in County Tyrone to keep my logs drying where the sun moves and away from shaded area when you plan to put a roof on the stone building thankyou ❤ log store is kool get some old corrugated tin for the roof and tie it down with bull wire stop it blowing away you could get a job cash for pointing old building's

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We were hoping to use some of the old tin off the fallen roof but it is so rusty in so many places 😔 in time we will definitely get some tin on the roof of it though.

[@deranocasper]

@thecornerhouseproject If you are near omagh if anyone get you decent tin at 50p a foot, it's second hand but it's really good

[@Cuernavacachica02]

Oh my goodness, Ben and Dawn! It does my heart good to see that you are reusing discards and making a difference in the earth! BTW, I’m not one of those climate /environment thugs, but I love to see normal people doing what they can. The end of the building is gorgeous and I know it’ll be even better! Those vibes at the top give it such a cool look lol!!!Love you guys! See ya next week!!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We aren't the eco warrior type either but it is nice to be able to use materials that have either been removed from the house such as the timers or used before like the pallets. The ivy vines will be gone soon enough and the wheelbarrow I filled last week with them have already been burned to keep the house warm :-) Thank you as always for watching :-)

[@ilsecoetzee1138]

The wall looks really good - well done! ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you ❤️

[@mariarichmond4179]

Love wood shed 😊😊😊😊 step the trestle like a stair so go up but the above being used as a cover

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Maria Yes, that is the plan with the trestles. There are 3 planks on the very bottom level at present and Dawn can then put 2 above that on the next level before the big guns come out with the scaffold lol. The trestles are too wobbly to be messing with big stone with. Thank you and thank you again Maria :-)

[@mariarichmond4179]

@@thecornerhouseproject just stay safe xx

[@Omaivo2904]

Good work, both of you 👍 Congratiulations on 20K! Means you're doing the things the right way!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you very much! It’s so amazing to us that we have hit that amount! Quite surreal if we’re honest.

[@morrigans_cottage]

The pointing on the wall looks SO good! I loved the spraying the wall even though it was raining! Also the woodpile looks great, great idea to use pallets for it! Another great update! The house and land and outbuildings are really coming together so well

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Ash. ❤️ Pallets are such useful things, always worth having a stock of those around.

[@cathhumphreys3113]

Wow this was a great video really enjoyed the pointing and the wood shed ❤

[@josechapman7611]

Great vid once again guys ,good job on the pallet wood store ,and I to Dawn wow what ajob of repointing that wall fantastic ,truly great work ,thanks you for your vids

[@anniedavis4569]

Love the log shed Ben and the pointing is fantastic Dawn great jobs all round. The filming is brilliant too too

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Annie, we hope you are well. Thank you very much. A bit more to be done on the wood store but hopefully I will get that done this week (maybe not the roof) The pointing is looking great, every day a bit more gets done and the better the gable end looks. Thank you for always joining us Annie :-)

[@pennyneal2456]

You could staple some plastic over the plywood roof for now. 😊

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Penny It may come to that. I was hoping to have the steel roof on it this week but it hasn't happened. As long as it doesn't blow off in the winds we will be ok haha. Thank you Penny for watching and commenting :-)

[@karenriddaway246]

Amazing both work so hard

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Lovely catch up. Alot of progress. We have been in process of clearing our land in preparation for summer here in Australia. Wood chipping yesterday which made me think of you both.lol.. Look forward to catch up next week.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Ooh how lovely summer! lol seems ages ago that it was summer now! It wasn’t the warmest summer this year so maybe that’s why it feels so long ago!
