Finally, the old stone barn has a roof!

[@richardrodgers7311]

Fixing to go to mass and I saw this! A day for prayer, a day for roof-raising, and a day for celebration. Great job Sam and Bec!

[@1MrMoor]

Good Afternoon Sam and Becks….my lifetime in construction and I still get blown away by how a couple of hairy arsed chippies 😆 can create, craft and sculpt a timber roof structure onto an out of shape old stone building and make it look so good. My eyes immediately go to all them timber lines….so straight and true. That’s all credit to yours and Dave’s construction skills Sam. You guys have done an amazing job getting them joists on and looking as good as it does. My sincere respects 👍 …Dave.

@@1MrMoor The expression "Hairy arsed chippies" has to be Australian...😀😃😄😁😆

@@lockman1951 😆😆 it’s typical English construction worker lingo….. Arse is very much an English word. Coming from way back …Ass was seen as a swear word back then, not to be used in public and so arse was the acceptable alternative.

[@michealspringett1340]

well done SAM AND DAVE it is really looking great

[@JoHarmon-hg7wz]

Thanks to Dave for helping Sam on this challenging roof. Looking very promising. See you on the next one.

[@Fionabren55]

I think the barn would be a great kitchen with double doors out to your planned courtyard with an outdoor dinning area. Where the chimney is could be a dinning room leading to a sitting room and behind that your intended bedroom. You are doing great work. Bec you are an amazing person with your stamina and perseverance and calm nature. I admire all your efforts.

[@tomwalsh857]

Really enjoyed your build I'm a carpenter in Galway who's health hasn't been good over the past few years and I'd give anything to be given you a hand at your renovation. Best of luck. Your health is your welt believe me

My great,great, great grandfather left his brothers in Tubbercurry, Ireland, County Sligo, and traveled to Canada. My grandfather left the family farm to Immigrate to the USA and farm Cavilier North Dakota. My grand dad and my dad wanted to connect with family still in Tubbercurry he passed before he was able . My father connected with the relatives in Canada but passed before going to Ireland. My daughter and I traveled to Ireland to see my mom's side in County Cork family. The highlight was to stay and see my dad's family and the farm in Tubbercurry. So thank you for sharing this bit of restoring the homeland one stone at a time. Love this.

All the endless work of preparing the walls, building the ring beam, establishing the plates, and then a glorious day like this when everything just falls into place because of all that careful work. It feels so good. And it should. All the best luck going forward!

Thank you for explaining the top of the roof not lining up with the window. Makes perfect sense now but I was dying during the Timelapse!!! lol. Love from a new subscriber

[@WildBoreWoodWind]

Fantastic job lads and Bec. Maith sibh!! Ironically, the roof, is about the only straight bit on that building. Seriously, well done, a lot of prep went into that, for it to go up so quickly and that'll help spur you on, to get the rest of the build done, it's always heartening to see progress. Sam, It amazes me, how much more work you get done, with an extra pair of knowledgeable hands - a big shoutout to Dave. So, with any luck, it won't be too long before you're dried in - Sam and Co., you're making some significant progress. Keep up the good work - Slan.

I was a little confused when you started because there was no ridge pole, but I see this is a different type of roof and it looks amazing. Great work you guys, even Rebecca, helping hold the boards there at the beginning.😊

Fabulous vaulted ceiling in the lounge

[@carolcarol3938]

Truly marvelous work guys. The roof is looking spectacular. My first comment but I started watching the channel a while ago at the point you bought the property.... then I binge watched them all until a week ago. Then I went back to the beginning of your journey of leaving the home and travelling. I'm making my way through those and now have to be satisfied with a new one each time you post. You all should be so proud of what you've accomplished. Such hard workers. I have a ginger cat like your boys.... how do you tell them apart - probably easy when they're side by side. You've done wonders with Toby. He did look like he was in foal initially, but probably had a belly full of worms. He is living the life now. I am in Australia and am really enjoying your channel. Take care all. Cheers Carol

[@theirishhomestead]

Thanks Carol. That's kind of you.

[@Gillby47]

Well,would you look at that.We nearly have a house.Great teamwork from everyone. By the way I just have to add how wonderful the transformation of Toby,s life is,from a stable to hard standing to the company of the other animals.Thank you for his new life.❤️

[@dottiebaker6623]

I actually got goose bumps when I saw all the rafters in place. This was a long time coming for you I'm sure, but SO worth it. You must be immensely chuffed. I'm proud and all I'm doing is watching! Your dinner out was well earned. It speaks well of you two that so many folks are coming to help. Gratitude to Dave! And I love Sam's philosophy about perfection - not necessary in all situations. Best of luck to you both.

I have truly enjoyed every episode of your video-journey of rebuilding this homestead - I do feel your ups & downs moments as you tackle each task.

[@mikeskelly2356]

You can speed up the interior pointing job by using a 'Refillable', or empty caulk tube. Fill them with mortar and force it into the smallest of joins. Smoothing it with a gloved finger should be the only real manual work involved...The old Grand Dame of Irish Cottages is getting the full 'Spa' treatment, and she'll come out looking like her much younger Sister, once again to be filled with laughter and love. She'll again feel the joy of children and family giving her life once more. Once again she'll be the true 'Bean an tí' of the 'Cnoic na hÉireann'. Sorry if I mangled that, haven't spoken the Gàidhlig for fifty years... 🍺😄
