Life on our derelict farm in Ireland just got a bit more crazy! Episode 9

[@wendystewart5665]

Maybe…… Plant some willows around the pond, and then the ferns, and the willows will filter the water, the posts could be used for bird feeders, with a platform on the top ❤️❤️❤️

[@bridgetburns1193]

Welcome to Ireland, I've noticed more English people are coming over here to live. Apart from its beauty, they remark how peaceful and safe it is here,that's because Ireland has been showered with heavens blessings because of its strong faith. I hope you have a lovely life here,and your children will thrive and be happy, God bless. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@theirishhomestead]

Yes it's such a beautiful, peaceful place. The people we have met so far have been lovely. 💚🇮🇪💚

[@smiley9872]

Great to see new life in these old farms.

[@theirishhomestead]

Thank you! So many out there falling to rack & ruin. I bet they were so loved in their hey day by the families living in them.

[@neutonrenda2303]

From the drone shot you get a much better idea of just how special a place you guys have found, wow, it's stunning. I didn't realize how high it was compared to the surrounds.👍❤

Hi, thanks! Yes, we are on a hill! We have such fantastic views 😍

[@nickworley1000]

We left the UK bought a run down farm in Galway back in 2004. Its was a challenge we now have 50 breeding ewes 10 cows and a bull. We have our own well and run a small Air bnb.

[@SPowell-g8r]

Hi guys Sandra from Australia here. Came by the channel by chance I’m watching from episode 1 I don’t know if you know this but if you cover your windows in winter you don’t lose your warmth. Bare windows will suck your heat out. I know I’m way behind but really enjoying watching you guys. From the beginning Keep up with the great videos Cheers from Australia

[@kaycee625]

Your kids may not like this due to wanting their privacy but I found when living a static in winter that all doors inside need to be opened. If a room was closed off with people in it breathing all night, it made the damp so much worse.

[@noreenboland1204]

You are doing exactly the right thing with the kittens as by being inside they will keep your mobile free from rodents .

[@theirishhomestead]

Good to hear, thank you. 👍

[@shirleyotten9267]

Hello to you all. We are currently watching your videos from the very beginning. We are hooked and are finding it difficult to watch anything else as its so infectious. What a change in lifestyle, we can't wait to see the end result. Carry on with the fabulous work.😊xx

Wow thanks, yep its definitely a happier way to live life

[@DJ-vi8no]

Folks keep at it your doing well I admire you Winter in the country in Ireland can be brutal I’d suggest putting a little stove in your static & stock with seasoned wood & if you can at this late stage turf You’ll need it to see you all through winter Good luck

[@theirishhomestead]

Thanks so much. We have just been told we can borrow a small stove from a fab couple we met in town. Hoping to get it installed and a bit more cosy soon. 👍

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Looking at your drone shots, you've hot a lot of Ash trees around. They are being hit hard with Ash dieback, so lots of firewood around you. Mate and his wife lived in a static when building their house. Was it cold? Well, they said they had to put on more clothes before going to bed!

[@TheGrannyNut]

At that age, the safest place for those kittens is inside. They're snack-sized for a visiting fox.

[@theirishhomestead]

We keep them as safe as you can with barn cats who like to roam. They were born & raised outside initially and are doing well here. We love them very much.

[@cherylargenziano7475]

[@lutgardedh]

Nice work done, love the kittens, little baby's who like to play but doesn't like the cold, so for a few months they're going to come inside and sleep where it's warmer😺😺

[@theirishhomestead]

I can cope with that, lots of kitten cuddles cheer me up every morning no matter the weather. 😀

Becky, you have a lovely voice .. calm with gentle intonations and peaceful vibes ... your morning videos are medative and such a soothing effect on my 'speedy' mind 😊 thank you

if Sam is a joiner and his work is good, it won't be long before it gets out that he's available for work and good at what he does. Good trades/crafts men are hard to come by in Ireland.

great to dry your washing outside... sadly, when we lived in Ireland, I hung a pair of jeans on the line and they were still wet 6 months later..

[@theirishhomestead]

🤣🤣 Hilarious! I can totally get this! Actually, I've only had to take the washing to the revolution dryers to finish them off once so far. But then that's not exactly high praise, having only done 2 washes up to now! 😆

[@lavignemorte]

😅 I know what you mean. We used to live next to Lough Corrib in Co Mayo. We bought a tumble dryer in the end.

[@sharonschauer3257]

The kittens are adorable! They need to be inside at night to keep warm.

[@cynthiabruns7178]

I doubt if those kittens will exchange home comforts for the cold shed…but they will probably visit it often enough to at least keep the mice on best behaviour.

[@theirishhomestead]

We have been keeping them outside at night in a cosy house we made under the static for now. They have just started venturing to the barns, so hopefully, we will move them over there soon. 👍

The drone shots are amazing. The kitties are lovely and will I hope keep the mice population down if there are any. Your place has had quiet a transformation since you got there and in such a short time. Well done. I love the face on the wheel barrow and the enthusiasm of the poles you could put a wire fence from pole to pole and grow a nice creeper on .

[@theirishhomestead]

Thank you! Will do!

[@carlamoss624]

I love what you are doing. The drone footage shows what a fantastic spot you are in. Being at the top of a hill, a few land drains added in the spring should significantly dry out the land. Cladding is a great idea if it includes some insulation. Team it up with a little log burner, you will be toasty through the winter and if you keep it ventilated it should also sort the damp Xxx

[@theirishhomestead]

Thank you. It is such a beautifully elevated spot. Hopefully, you're right in once we put some land drains down it will all come good. 👍

[@GardensforLife]

Great stuff! Keep up the good work! Good luck from Roscommon :D

[@abigailgerlach5443]

My gran's house, which had no central heating, forced us to come up with some unique ways to stay warm. I used to take the electric iron and iron the sheets before bed. This helped dry the sheets. Flannel/fleece pajamas, with feet, keeps you toasty and dryer. Of course, the ever infamous hot water bottle is a must. Lol

[@theirishhomestead]

I love this! Ironing the bedsheets! Genius! Thanks for sharing your memories with us. ❤️

Having brought and renovated a old house, the only way to dry a house, no matter the size is stopping it from getting damp, then adding heat took several years to dry our house out. At 2500 sq feet its now finally lovely and cosy with a log burner, heat pump and heat transfer system, after 30 years.

Crikey! We will have a long road ahead then! I'm glad yours is finally sorted, though! Thanks for the info. 👍

[@WhataTry]

Gime a break , such exaggeration, 30 yrs is a joke.

[@helenstewart2085]

@@WhataTry some of us have to renovate to our income stream, we had to fix design faults to a now 160 year old farmhouse that every 30 years the orginal family, every generation did stuff to improve it, but technology has meant you now insulate all walls, roof, double glaze, install better heating system in a country where this costs a lot more than the northern hemisphere. There is a reason so many houses are now built with a life expectancy of 30 years in New Zealand. The cost of a full update of paint, flooring, curtains, plus kitchen, laundry and bathrooms is not a few thousands of dollars but many thousands per standard room. Until the Earthquake in 2010 my nickname for our home was bulldozer bait, but it sustained minor damage, a few cracks in the plaster in the one room left to renovate.

They can come with water snails too, i have some in our small garden pond.

Thanks! We have been approved for the grant so now we are on a tight 13 month deadline to get it done and hopefully get some money back. 🍀🤞

Hang lights from the posts... wee solar string ones 🎉

Definitely, we need lights around that pond in summer! ❤️

Love seeing you wear the Michigan State sweatshirt! My home state ❤

[@theirishhomestead]

Aww yes I ❤️ that sweatshirt. Wish I had an original one, not a cheap knockoff! 🤣

The drone footage is great, I love this foggy atmosphere, it's always fairy! The door is cool, what a job! The poles, well...they were there so why not?! (maybe for little climbing plants or for a boat mooring?)

I said to Sam are you planning on mooring a boat?! 😆 it would have to be the size of a cardboard box 📦
