Not a job I really wanted to do at my old Irish cottage - Ep 98

[@kimmcnear6843]

Love the wall. Good for you getting the shed cleared❤

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you! Have to get back in and do a little bit more of a clean out but I felt like I achieved something at least!!

[@Moonwing72]

That stone wall is looking gorgeous! ❤ love the drawers from your gran, how lovely to have items of hers there with you 🏡💚

[@joannepope5594]

It is always better to replace all tires at one time. It is expensive yes, but well worth it for safety reasons and you won't have to worry about them again for quite some time depending on how many miles you travel and your warranty on them. A job well done!

[@morrigans_cottage]

Hi! Thanks so much for the tip, so all the tires were brand new as of Jan last year which is why I think they only replaced the 2 that were damaged with the same tires as the other, especially the first tire it blew early March and only had maybe 1000km on it at! It definitely would have been out of budget for me to replace all 4 but I know it is better to do it all at once! Thanks so much ❤️

[@bigmama2135]

Oh I was laughing when you were sorting the spider's shed and telling yourself its ok and how brave you are😂 but stepping back out asap. You're just like me, barely touching anything and ready to run for your life😂. You did a great job clearing it out, not sure I'd have got that much done. Sweet little chest of drawers and picture from nice your late Nan and they really suit your cottage. Hope your other poor Nan in hospital is recovering ok and will be home soon. Great to know Morrigan is well on the road to a full recovery now. Warmest, furriest hugs from myself and FF.❤

[@lizdaugherty5607]

I loved your self talk while cleaning the shed out with the spiders .I am right there with ya 😂 I'm proud of you for hanging in there.the wall is really coming along and looks great.

[@morrigans_cottage]

I really had to psych myself up 🤣🤣 I absolutely hate spiders and the thoughts of what else lives in that shed was really scaring me 🤣🤣 I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the walls next weekend!

[@lizdaugherty5607]

@morrigans_cottage on the bright side, at least you don't have snakes there like I do here , but spiders are pretty epical!!😅

[@morrigans_cottage]

@ that is so true, I couldn’t do snakes or the big spiders 🥺🥺🥺

[@Ann_Leonie6772]

Well done getting the shed cleared, we did laugh out loud though...sorry 😂 x

[@patriciapadgett4696]

Happy New Year Aisling. Well done brave girl with the shed. When we moved in here there were various outbuildings full to the roof. Like you I would stand at a distance, drag something out and wait to see if anything moved 😂 Thank goodness it's all done & a big relief. Your doing a great job, and once all the rubbish is gone you will feel so much better. Take care & love from Spain ❤

[@maryfrancesbaker289]

I love the chest of drawers and the little watercolors! The wall will be beautiful and worth all your hard work!

[@Marie-yx5ie]

Ashling are you keeping those wooden steaks, they are handy for fences, tomatoes plant steak, trees or for fire wood. The wall looks great 👏👏👏 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire

[@Moonshadow84]

Baby Morri looks happy she’s coming along heaps and bounds .. Wow that wall is looking good Aisling what a difference you have made to it. Lols I am terrified of the Big Fat British Spiders 🕷 no thank you very much.. you brave girl just watch one don’t fall on you head 😅 I’m not sure if you are running into the shed and back out as fast as you can or if-the Camera is speeding . Keep up the Good Work You Doing Excellent ..lots of potential with those beautiful chest of drawers you can’t beat the older look . 💕💕💕🇬🇧🇨🇦💕💕💕🕷🕷🕷

[@morrigans_cottage]

Morri is doing really well, she's been a great girl getting better! I know I hate the fat spiders too... They are awful!!! I was running in and out and the video was sped up so it probably looks faster than it was! ❤️❤️❤️

[@celticlassie]

Will be so good to see Ms Morri fully recovered and back to her old self and supervising all the hard work being done on her cottage. Happy New Year!

[@morrigans_cottage]

Happy new year to you too ♥️ it was so nice having morri back down at the cottage today, she has one more week of rest and then she can be back to project supervision! ♥️

[@deboramoes-deenen1620]

Happy New Jear to you and Morrigen.

[@littlbunbun5115]

The old stone wall is lovely, hopefully you will have the option to leave at least part of it exposed

[@judewilliams9345]

Yeahhhh.... Good to have you back. Hope you had a lovely holiday break and Morrigan is recovered ❤🎉 xxxxx

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you! Morri is almost fully recovered now thank God! I was so worried about her!! ♥️

[@lesleyharris525]

Spiders don't like lavender, mint and scented geraniums, plants or oils. And yes I'm impressed you were any wear near them, ❤

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you, I was impressed too 🤣 id honestly take anything other than spiders! That's great to know about the scents I LOVE lavender so I must start fuming the place 🤣🤣🤣

[@sandymabe6529]

The tire sensors will react when it turns cold for the start of winter . Air in tires expand in summer and contract in winter, just have the air in tires topped off to recommended amount and you will be good to go.

[@morrigans_cottage]

Ohhh thank you so much for this info!!! I know nothing about cars I really need to educate myself a bit but this definitely makes me feel a little better knowing about the cold v hot pressure

[@Fuzzyedgz]

That wall looks so much better than I expected! You absolutely MUST leave it exposed! 😮😊

[@morrigans_cottage]

Doesn't it! My only worry is that it would be really cold because it's an external wall but if the builder says it's ok and can be kept i 100% will keep it exposed!

[@anntennyson2493]

That was very funny,I think if you’re going to live in the countryside you need to be a lot braver than this , happy new year Aisling and Morrigan’s.😂😂

[@morrigans_cottage]

I know I really will have to toughen up a little bit!! Happy new year ♥️

[@VintageConversation]

The saw looked like maybe a tile saw, very handy to have if it works

[@morrigans_cottage]

I was thinking it would be handy if the saw still worked! Wasn't sure what kind of saw it was! I will definitely have to take a look at it altho It has probably been sitting there years at this point!

[@stecamu]

Better times are on their way, Aisling! My Italian hills were foggy and frozen today, hope we'll have more sun tomorrow. A big hug to your furbabies and keep up the good work😊

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you so much, the girls and I sending our hugs back! It's very cold here too, foggy in the mountains and I think snow is on the way 🥶

[@KateDavis-h1v]

I feel your fear of spiders, Aisling. I love your dresser. It is a real classic. Hope Morrigan is recovering.

[@carolarmstrong4979]

It will be fine. You have other sheds it could go in. You will need a log store at some point. X

[@tracybush8115]

You were VERY brave in that shed. Nice chests of drawers, beautiful angel handles (a shame one is missing but you may be able to locate one out there in E-bay land.) Hope Morri and Bonnie are doing GREAT.

[@dianakeiser6663]

You were very brave tackling your shed. I believe that one day you will have a spider on you and just fleck it off like nothing!😊 Absolutely love the wall and look forward to seeing it when you finished. Take care and give Morri a hug!

[@ElizabethHageman-b7q]

The stone walls will be beautiful and worth all your efforts.

[@suecooper3016]

Just imagine things from the spiders point of view to listen the fear. 'A huge noisy two legged MONSTER has just come along & destroyed their home!' As a MONSTER, you have no need to feel scared.

[@kathysaleeba3397]

It strikes me how green the grass remains in Ireland in the winter. The US midwest everything turns brown, grass included!

[@roomullan3050]

Your very brave in the shed, I am exactly the same xx ps. Cuddles for Morri xxxxx

[@SusanPuncher]

Hi Aisling. You can already see how beautiful the stone wall is going to look. As for the spiders you need Bainne there to catch them for you! I hope Morri is doing well and all your family are feeling better. Lots of love ❤️

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you so much, Morri is pretty much healed now and the family are mostly over the flu just need my Nan to get better from it now too! The walls will be really nice I can't wait to get them pointed hopefully next weekend! Girls and I send you our love ♥️

[@lindahill9215]

You are alot braver then me. Don't mind the little ones but that spider was BIG!. Love the channel 😊

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you! I felt very brave 🤣 I don't mind the little ones either or the skinny ones but the fat bodies and fat legs send me into orbit I can't cope 🤣

[@Maggie6-z7n]

I am thinking a wire brush would come in handy Aisling🥰🇦🇺

[@morrigans_cottage]

It definitely could I plan on getting one :)♥️

[@kathysaleeba3397]

Ibkeep looking at the spiderwebs on the door. Knock them down with the broom! Good job on that scary shed. Love the stone wall. It's going to be beautiful when it's done.

[@karenmcglone4166]

Lovely seeing you again. Continued wishes for everyone's recoveries....Hope you've managed to miss the lurgy?

[@annereidy7981]

Well done, pep talking was a good idea! If I didn't say it before, Happy New Year and hope all is still on the mend, take care!

[@morrigans_cottage]

Happy new year!! Morri is almost completely mended now, just hoping Nan gets her turn around now as well ♥️

[@annereidy7981]

@morrigans_cottage yes, indeed. I hope so too.

[@Weejen-t3p]

I’m with you with spiders 😂 I always say I don’t like anything smaller than a cat 😂 you were very brave!

[@Dustballcharlie]

I’m excited to see what you make of your cottage 😮

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you, I'm really excited too, can't wait to have the builders in and get cracking!

[@Fuzzyedgz]

I have never understood why some people are so afraid of spiders. Lol. They're these little bitty creatures, and we're big bad humans! Nevertheless, the fear is real and I admire you powering through. Way to go Aisling

[@morrigans_cottage]

I know I don't know why I'm so afraid of them because they are so small 🤣 but I'm so scared of them! I will have to get used to them they are all over the place down there!!

[@myopinion4600]

Some of them bite…..but the real horror is that they might touch you at all 🤪

[@morrigans_cottage]

@myopinion4600 it really is a true horror 🤣 at least if they bite me I might instantly die and not know they were on me 🤣🤣🤣

[@Thegirlgardener]

I think its more if they got on you, they might go under your clothes and, although I'm not afraid of spiders, i dont like the feeling of things crawling on my skin 😅

[@morrigans_cottage]

@Thegirlgardener that sounds awful!!!!!!!! The thoughts of one crawling over me 😭😭😭

[@ronanmc2112]

Plenty of dry wood for the fire for the future anyway. Pity the door is so small and roof so low or you could repurpose that as a garage or car port to keep the elements off your car.

[@megancarty1742]

Great Job! I too had to clear out a shed at my place, many spiders and creepy crawlers!!

[@HBSVMom]

Happy New Year 🎉😊

[@mocarra100]

I was cracking up laughing when you were cleaning that out and kept saying it'll be okay it'll be okay 😂 I know what you mean about spiders I have arachnophobia 😂

[@morrigans_cottage]

So do I, they are so scary!!!! I am definitely not as bad or as scared as I used to be, but I'm still not a fan! I had to keep repeating it was ok to trick myself into thinking it was 🤣🤣🤣

[@mocarra100]

@morrigans_cottage lol 🤣 that's exactly what I knew you were doing 😆

[@morrigans_cottage]

@ it worked at least 😂

[@joanmurphy8375]

Hi ashling.great clean up in the shed . brave woman with them spider s 🕷️..I hate them.. hope all is well with you

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you! It was definitely not something I was looking forward to doinh but at least it's started! The girls and I are well hope you are keeping good too ♥️

[@deborahkalichak1586]

Yes ..iam scared of spiders too..creepy things..but had to laugh when you were whispering..felt your fear of being in there..yikes..but good job😳👍

[@MsCripplex]

I have the same issue with bugs of all kinds, yuck! I think you did great cleaning out that area, it should help you when you have to store furniture which by the way the bureaus are very cute. You should be able to find a replacement for the drawer pull at a 2nd hand store or antique area. ? Is there any way to repair the log burner so you are warmer and I am praying for you and your fur baby, be safe and don’t forget all of us out here pulling for you both!

[@HBSVMom]

Beautiful job!!❤

[@eileenbecker9245]

Hope all is well! Happy new year 🎉

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you! Happy new year to you too ♥️ all is good here, Morri is recovering so well so I really can't complain!

[@marilynflynn465]

you need a spider Catcher. I have one, it's a pole with a trigger at one end and a soft brush at the other end. now I just scoop them up and put them outside. I found mine on eBay.

[@BernadetteAstrande]

You are brave!!! SPIDERS??? I would not lift anything unless some one was w/me to clean. LOL Have a safe trip home!!!

[@morrigans_cottage]

It was so gross with the spiders!!! I definitely feel like I have cheated myself out of having a second person to do the bad jobs that I don't want 🤣🤣🤣

[@ellenchapman5293]

Good job clearing out the shed, it will be invaluable for storing things out of the way, though I am still chuckling at your reaction to spiders, a little longer at the cottage and they'll make a country girl out of you yet ahaha x Good to see Morri looking better after her ordeal :) I hope your Nan is doing better and she is on the mend too

[@morrigans_cottage]

I know I'll have to get used to the spiders but I just don't think the time is yet 😂😂😂 I've been terrified of spiders since I was a kid so actually this reaction is a step forward because before I would have just cried 😂😂😂😂

[@ellenchapman5293]

@@morrigans_cottage Sorry, I couldn't help chuckle at the way you kept reassuring yourself, you did really well, any phobia is hard to overcome and you do deserve a pat on the back for tackling something that freaks you out, well done you - and much kinder friends than me, oopsie, I do care x

[@morrigans_cottage]

@ellenchapman5293 don't worry I was laughing at myself too! 🤣

[@suemoro]

Be sure to wear a mask before sweeping out that shed. Could be mouse droppings in there not just the dust.

[@TheAwakeningangel]

Hi Aisling Happy New Year and yes you were brave as I would of had a Hazard suit on thats for sure lol, hope you kept the wood tho as good for when your all set up with wood burner. I love your dressers, and the one with the little handle missing you could get someone to copy it as all it takes is a mould of it and made with some hard resin then paint and metal rub will bring it up. Anyhow you keep warm as I hear snow on the way hope Miss Mori is 100% now and as always love sent dede xxxxxx

[@morrigans_cottage]

Hi Dede!! Happy new year and best wishes to you and yours for this 2025 ♥️♥️♥️ definitely did not enjoy the spiders... And I know there's more to come 🤣 Morri is doing great, she's almost got the all clear now just one more week of drops for one eye to be safe rather than sorry thank God she's recovered so well! You too keep warm, it's SO cold and only supposed to get worse! We went down to the cottage today just to drain the pipes and turn the water off in a hope to stop them freezing and bursting... Fingers crossed it's done the trick! All the love from the girls and I ♥️♥️

[@rgomoffat]

Happy New Year! Save that wood for a fire

[@morrigans_cottage]

Happy new year!! I wasn't sure if the wood is moldy should it be kept?!

[@kayalford6746]

I would have a shovel with me to squash the spiders!

[@morrigans_cottage]

See that's the smart way to do it 😂 I didn't think of doing that!

[@TeresaHayes-tk7fc]

I think we all can identify with the whole shed experience! I’m sorry, but I did find myself chuckling a bit (not at you but with you)! Next time take a broom or some such to pull stuff out…keeps you farther away from the ickys! Job well done! See you soon…

[@myriamwilmotte8184]

Hi Aisling best wishes for 2025. I hope you and you babies are doing well.

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you so much! Best wishes for the year for you too ♥️ they are doing good but not looking forward to the cold snap we're about to have!

[@sharonhoare]

Whilst a really lovely idea to change all tyres at once it is just not practical. So long as you replace both on the same axle you will be ok.

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you for the tip! Tbh they just changed the one and not the other, so I've had front right and back left changed but all the tires are pretty much brand new. I'd assume since they didn't recommend changing all of them they must have been happy with how they were because I've never known a mechanic who hasn't tried to upsell me 🤣🤣

[@bwitched3810]

Hello gorgeous I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great new year and that the baby is healing up. I have a question. It’s probably a lame question since it’s a cottage. The cabinets living room right now. Will you be painting those a lighter color to kind of go with the motif of cottage style? I was just kind of wondering I do love the chest. You just brought into so super cute anyway I look forward to the starting of the contractors coming in. It’s very exciting time for you. I hope you enjoy every ounce of it. Lots of love for me in California

[@jillwagner7618]

Come on my irish friend, toughen up. Bring a broom to whack 'm. Country girl soon.❤

[@carolarmstrong4979]

Hope you have put that wood under cover ? It will make good fuel for your log burner.

[@morrigans_cottage]

I didn't!!! I should have but there's just no where for it to go at the moment, it's very moldy so I wasn't sure it would be ok to burn

[@jackieduncan4660]

Hello can you go to a b and q in Ireland if their is one and get an ex display bathroom suites and kitchen display as the b and q sell them cheap and anywhere else that do patio doors ex display online to save on money and bargains to be had .😊

[@lauraveal6624]

Great work! Are you keeping the wood to use later on a fire?

[@morrigans_cottage]

So the wood was moldy I wasn't sure if it would be good to keep it or not, I still have it though!

[@ladygwarth]

I think the builders would be able to advise you on the bowing wall. It isn’t necessarily a good thing I’m afraid. My reaction to big spiders is the same 😳😳😳

[@morrigans_cottage]

I'm hoping it's just a design flaw with the wall or something cutsey they did on purpose 😂 but I'm not holding my breath and that being the case! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the spiders!

[@ladygwarth]

@ Hopefully it can be repaired and made strong again if it is an issue.

[@morrigans_cottage]

@ladygwarth I really hope so!!

[@PrimarchEldarAutarch]

wolf spiders are great - they eat pests do you have a wood burner or a pit? that wood could go for it, if you do it's YOUR place, how can it be scary?

[@morrigans_cottage]

It's still scary lol I don't have a burner at the moment but hoping to get one sometime this year if funds allow!

[@hillsgoldsmith]

Get some chickens, they eat spiders

[@morrigans_cottage]

Definitely in the plan for the new year once I'm down at the house full time! The more spider eating things I can get the better!

[@joycepayne3505]

You need rake and shovel

[@morrigans_cottage]

I have both :)

[@susanb4816]

I recommend you reach out to fellow KZbinr SkillBuilder for advice on your stone wall. Who knows, he may be able to collab and help

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thanks so much for the tip! I definitely will look into it! I am hoping it's just a design quirk of the wall and not something problematic lol

[@Talkingllama3.0]

The spiders! 😂 Ugh, would hate them but has to be done! 😊

[@morrigans_cottage]

It's my least favourite thing, I don't even mind the skinny legged spiders but these were fat bodied fat legged things I nearly.died ♥️

Aisling, the stones do look amazing. Im with you on spiders 🕷️🕷️ I could never live in Australia, they have Huntsmans there, huge and they jump! But bravo for getting stuck into the shed! Could you use the wood for kindling? Hope your tyres are ok. I just paid a small fortune to keep my very old car on the road but she's always super reliable. Hugs to you and the girls and I hope both your Nan and Morri are doing well ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🐕🐈❤️🕷️
