Our Dirty Secret: Archaeology In The Farmyard (We're No Time Team Though)

Uncover the fascinating world of archaeology in the most unexpected of places - Our Farmyard! Join us as we dig deep into the history buried beneath the soil, revealing the secrets of past generations of those who once called these outbuildings home. With bottles from 1917, charred wood and pottery, this exploration will try to shed light on a side of history often overlooked. Watch now to discover Our Dirty Secret: Archaeology In The Farmyard (We're No Time Team Though).
With more, possible ancient, drainage found in the old farmyard, we are excited to share our discovery as we continue our amateur archaeology dig.
Being complete beginners at farmhouse renovation, really needing a "homesteading for beginners" guide and now starting amateur archaeology, we are taking it slowly, enjoying everything we do no matter how hard it is, to one day realise our dream of running a fully functioning homestead from our once derelict Irish Farmhouse.

Our dirty little secret is out! This is just a short video after some secret digging Sunday. We know it might not be everyone's cup of tea so please let us know below if this is something you would like to see updates of, from time to time, should we discover more or make any more progress, but we thought we should at least share this latest find with you all. Or, should we just keep it our Dirty Little Secret?

[@kimrafferty7170]

So many people moaned at Dan on Escape to rural France about him doing more noggings - did Dan stop recording his videos? Nope and now he is giving a Disney land holiday away to the person who correctly states the number of times the word "noggings" appeared in one of his videos 🤣 Your subscriber's decided to subscribe because they enjoy your content and the 2 of you ❤❤

[@brendagillespie2165]

I was so excited to get a video from y’all today. I love that you are still going to dig that area. There is more to uncover and how exciting to uncover the history of your home. So many of your followers are never bored with your videos. Thank you for allowing us to be on your journey. We need rain in sunny Florida too😎🌳🌳🌳🪨🪨🪨

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you for saying so! There definitely is so much more to uncover by the looks of what we found Sunday. It’s all quite exciting! Ooh I have my fingers crossed for some rain for Florida. The sun is wonderful but it’s nice to get rain now and again, just freshens everything up again!

[@kayewilliams918]

Keep digging!!! not boring at all, thanks for the vids!!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Keep digging we will! Thank you! 😘

[@tracybush8115]

Yes it's interesting - somebody purposely set rocks a specific way for a purpose and I want to know why. It's your property and I'm grateful to be permitted to view the property's transformation - you do whatever tasks you want to do and in whatever order. Take care guys.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Yes! Us too! It’s all very exciting…especially because it could help with our drainage issues if we find it runs all the way across. Fingers crossed it does but that’s all for another day…onwards with the outbuildings for now, which is also very exciting! You take care too Tracy. X

[@mocarra100]

Oh dear, Dawn it's your property, film what you want 😂 I love the clearing of the land I love to see before and almost after so far. I love to see before and afters everything, and that's a great find! Bottom line is you can't please everybody. I find myself complaining or saying things on other channels, and then I get to thinking, it's none of your business Jackie, nobody asked you to watch. You know? I wouldn't worry about it if I were you guys film what you want. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahaha thank you Jackie! And thank you also for making me/us smile every time we read a comment from you. You have such a natural way with words that just makes us feel like we know you! ❤️

[@pitsnipe5559]

Personally, I find it all very fascinating as well as enjoyable to watch.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Ed. Hopefully we will find more over the weekend. Thank you as always for watching and commenting :-)

[@adds91]

Don’t find any of it boring at all, it’s fascinating. Remember it’s your journey at your home, you choose what you want to work on, when you work on it, at what speed and what you want to share with us. Don’t worry about us viewers too much, you’ll never please everyone x

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Sam. You are quite right. Something we must try to remember. It is fascinating, we tried to have a sneaky look late this afternoon and then the rain came and filled the hole with water, so we stopped for today haha. Thank you very much indeed for always watching and commenting :-)

[@debbiesmith1626]

OMG…. What are people like! Your property, do as you please… film what you want! They can move on…. I for one love your videos, and your enthusiasm. 🎉🎉

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Debbie! We very much appreciate that you love the videos 😊 it really does mean a lot! 😘

[@bobbiebrandel3152]

It's your backburner project! Cool. I have to say if you had brought anything in mechanized you would have had a muddy mess there. We owned quite a bit of farm ground and equipment and I've seen what happens when you try to take the "easy" way and wind up with more work than you need. I think this is incredibly interesting. I think you are right and there was some type of drainage system there. We had the same thing. The drainage went out to a ditch and then around the barn and finally into a big pit that we pumped out. It kept everything contained. Just take what people say with a grain of salt. It is your property and the decisions made are yours. Even if they are wrong (and sometimes they will be), you learn in the process. And I like the digging. You find the most interesting things digging. When I see what you have done I am just amazed. You didn't just buy a house to fix up, you also bought neglected outbuildings and grounds. You are doing just fine.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Ooh backburner project I love it! You’re right with any machinery, we’ve said so many times that we would have been so gutted if we’d caved and used a digger and destroyed whatever was there without knowing it was there. So we’re very happy with the choice we made. That’s not to say we would never use a digger for anything but it just has its time and place and that wasn’t it for us. Oh I’m sure we have done and will continue to make mistakes but like you say you learn from them and it’s sometimes the best to learn. Trial and error. Thank you for your lovely comment, as always they are a joy to read ❤️

[@cynthiabruns7178]

I think your whole farmyard excavations are very interesting. You’ll never please everyone, just do whatever is most important for the two of you and don’t worry what others think or say. You’re doing a great job.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed Cynthia. As long as people find it interesting, we will share what we find. Hopefully more as it will be a bit of an anti-climax haha Thank you very much indeed for always watching and commenting :-)

[@susanault6809]

Keep digging and I love watching xxxxx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you and we certainly will! We so pleased to hear that so many of you liked seeing what we found! It makes us smile 😊

[@Omaivo2904]

Please carry on digging, so exciting! Time Team was my favorite years ago!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Oh we certainly will! It’s too exciting not to. Ooh yes we used to love a bit of time team too!

[@shannongarlitz8434]

You two are so funny! Secretly digging 😂. I love watching any work you do. I’m fully invested in this project.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahaha! We’re glad it’s all out in the open now haha. It will be nice to know that lots of people are happy to see the odd update on it. It’s been amazing to find it and even more so to be able to share it with others too! ❤️

[@janelee9397]

Hi Dawn and Ben , I have been watching your project from the beginning and I have been really interested in all your discoveries along the way .The digging has been a mammoth task and I can’t believe you actually did it . I am fascinated with how you are trying to piece together the history of this lovely old farm yard . I can’t wait to see what else you uncover . Well done on all the progress you have made in less than a year . Jane.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you Jane! I can’t actually believe we did it now! It’s good to have a bit of intrigue in your life isn’t it? Keeps ya mind active! Can’t actually believe that we’ve lived here nearly a year either….it has flown by sooo fast! 😮

[@patriciasmith9712]

Good archeology - and good on you for 'understanding' the way the farm yard was originally fitted out......I applaud your desire to know and will keep on cheering all of your efforts. Well done

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you Patricia, it’s puzzling, intriguing and exciting trying to piece it all together and guess what is beneath that it just keeps us going with looking. 😘

[@kbarnett2921]

Not bored, not frustrated by your diggings…….and super keen to see what you uncover in the ‘yard’.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Fingers crossed we will get to find more if we are lucky. This was another surprise for us and we are excited to see where it leads, so to speak. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@patkilmurray4702]

Oh Dawn, it is truly exciting and the thought that you had to dig in secret is so sad. Don't give a jot that you think folk are bored, noooo we are never bored, you keep digging if you want to😂 It's wonderful that you have discovered a linked gulley and it's looking really good. Welcome rain to top up your water supply.❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

I’m so glad we put this video out, I was a little undecided but so glad we did as no more having to dig in secret 😂 it’s so amazing to have found this new gulley, fingers crossed whatever is under there is still all there 🤞😊 Oh my goodness the rain was sooo welcome! We’re nearly back to full capacity again now as we’ve had some more rain today too! Thank you for your comment and for watching and being so lovely too! ❤️

[@tracywhite7135]

I am so pleased that you are doing this Dawn. I was so sad when you stopped as I really enjoy your journey and I love discovering the story of the Corner House and your land. Enjoy yourselves. ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

And we are so pleased that you are pleased, it really is lovely to know that people would like to see what we find, because it’s all quite exciting finding it and not being sure whether to share it or not. We’re pleased that we put it out to see what all of your thoughts were. So thank you for letting us know. It’s very much appreciated 😘

[@rebekahvenn201]

Well i for one am not bored with what you are doing and really do want to see each and every little bit of it and i have also always loved history right from school and i still love it at 54.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww yes you and me both Rebekah. I get lost in history, it just is something that fires my brain up! I love it! So what we’ve found in the garden is blowing my mind a bit! 🤣 it’s lovely to hear that others feel the same way.

[@wandakoehorst8734]

I loved the digging. Am interested in the history of the old farm. I think the Gully's were covered with flat stones to keep the rainwater clean, the soil out and transport all the rainwater that fell off all the roofs. They didn't have gutters hanging under the roofs. This wasxquicjestcan easiest way

[@thecornerhouseproject]

You might be on to something there…we wondered if it might be covered with stones across to the other outbuildings, fingers crossed one day we find out! Very pleased to hear you loved the digging, other than the hard work that it was, we loved finding what we did because of the digging.

[@ellenchapman5293]

Hi Dawn and Ben, thank you for the bonus bit of filming. It is fascinating to see how the drainage gulley was designed all those years ago, absolutely nothing boring about seeing it being uncovered. Up to now, I have enjoyed every aspect of your journey, from the 'catflap' in the door' and the clearing out at the beginning and the horror of the shed roof caving in (after the clearance of the floor, ugh) to the garden clearance and the joy of new blossom. It will be a pleasure to keep following and sharing in the joy of it all. I am just confused that people think they should have any say in what you tackle, when or how. If they only want to see house renovations, there are plenty of other pages to follow which are dedicated to just that. Keep on keeping on, I think most are with you in your excitement, that is the joy of it. xx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Awwww the big cat flat in the door, you remember right back then and yes, the poor roof. Hopefully in the coming month or so we will get to put a roof back on it, that will be a wonder day when that happens. The apple trees are great, well, two out of three are good, the wind swept one isn't looking so great. We are really hoping we can find some more drainage but we are trying not to get too excited, just in case we have found it all already. Thank you so much for always watching and commenting Ellen :-)

[@ElizabethAdams-Marks]

Dawn, I loved every shovel full of dirt and rock you uncovered. And I AM a huge Time Team fan as well!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We love a bit of Time Team, but we didn't expect it to be in our back yard. We are so excited. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. Thank you again :-)

[@Waif4444]

I am interested. I love these videos and look forward to them. Plus they serve a purpose which maybe can be utilised again. Don't let people deter you from getting dirty 😆

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you for letting us know…we will continue to get dirty! Exactly with it serving a purpose, it will be amazing if we can uncover whatever is there and maybe be able to use it for the purpose it was intended.

[@Kittygh]

I join your many viewers in expressing my admiration of your passion for the renovation of your farm. I love watching you excavating the yard! I can watch drywall install lots of places on youtube, but your videos are different. And even if you just give us an update every few weeks or so, I am still enjoying learning what you discover. Even if you decide to lay a slab over the top of it, at least you will have enjoyed the process of discovery. Cheers from one archaeology geek to another and hugz from Washington state, USA.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you and you’re so right….we are enjoying it so much. It’s not everyday you get to unearth this sort of history in your own back garden is it? It truly is fascinating to us what we have discovered here! We will definitely keep you all updated on anything else we find. We just love this whole place and it still hasn’t worn off how fascinating we really find it all and I hope we never lose it. ❤️

[@DianaHughes-m4u]

You never know what you´ll find! Very very interesting!!! Keep on digging, love the vids. Thanks for sharing.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Exactly, it’s always a surprise when you find something new, it was a bit of a happy accident knocking that stone with my boot 😂 if I hadn’t we might never have found it! No problem at all with sharing. It’s nice to know so many of you are happy to see the odd update on it 😊❤️

[@Shae_9876]

Oh Dawn you do you! if you want to make vlogs about digging and history then do it.. lets all remember this is your vlog, Thank you ever so much for showing us your little discovery, I for one am truly excited by history and discovery. I also value and appreciate that you take the time to share your life with us regardless if a segment interests me or not. Yay for the rain Sending you the biggest warmest hug 🥰😍❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you Shae! That means such a lot especially as you are as excited about history and discovering as we are! Having all that rain was amazing! We all had showers and got 4 loads of washing done and still have lots of water even now. We just need a little downpour now and again and then we’re good again! Sending you a hug 🤗 back too! ❤️

That was fascinating, Dawn!

Thank you Joanna! We’re really pleased to hear it 😊

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Terry, that means such a lot 😘 I sometimes wonder where we find the stamina too, but a good nights sleep works wonders!

[@colinchick2692]

Im not bored at all. It is great seeing your hard work and the discoveries that come from it. The outside needs doing just as much as indoors.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

This is very true Colin and we can't make the outside nice if we don't get to the bottom of the drainage we have found. The house is still here and things will be done. The outbuilding is the priority at the moment though. Uncovering at the weekends haha. Thank you so uch for watching and commenting :-)

[@ChrisFigueroa-vh7si]

I can’t help but think that the previous owners generations past, having had the same drainage issues tried to solve the situation using a series of gullies. Seems to me a worthwhile effort to uncover what could be the solution. If they could build these amazing stone structures, they might have had an ingenious drainage solution!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We think so too Chris. Hopefully we will discover more and then share it with you. We tend too agree with your thoughts too with why they are there. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@chellerowe9390]

Do what makes you guys happy. Its not about everyone else. ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Chelle, that is very nice of you to say :) Also, thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting :-)

[@caroladams7249]

I really enjoyed watching your digs. You don’t have to ignore the digging for my sake. I love watching!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Carol, that means a lot. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@Scottish-tart]

I'm always interested in what's in the ground beneath our feet. I'm too old to dig, so I enjoy watching others do the hard work. I find it fascinating that people take on projects like yours and do the very hard work to restore an old house and its landscaping. It'll be beautiful when it's done!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Scottish Tart. We were surprised with what we found when we were just making a path, now we are blown away. Hopefully we can find where it comes from or goes too, but we will see. We always said from the very start that we wanted to keep the house as original as possible to start with. The walls inside the house uncovered, the doors and styles. Sadly the woodworm took a lot of that out of our hands and certain aspects have gone, like the partitions, but rest assured we will still be keeping as much as we can and reproducing things as needed. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting :-)

[@effie924]

its your land and what brings you joy then carry on !

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Effie :-) Thanks for watching and commenting :-)

[@andie1769]

Oh wow, that’s fantastic! Keep digging Dawn, love it! 😊

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It was a lovely little surprise to find this underneath the circle. Hopefully we can find more bit by bit. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. Thank you again :-)

[@mnamber]

This is the coolest thing ever. I was hoping you’d find something like this! Just the fact your house is built on bedrock blows my mind but adding to that you might even have a little, hundreds year old community in your yard. This is a great adventure! Keep digging, love it! ❤❤

[@kimrafferty7170]

Everytime Ben says about the bedrock I keep hoping they are going to unearth a gold nugget especially now the Corner House creek is being cleared and running again you never know what will be discovered 😂 how brilliant would it be if that happened

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It truly is fascinating isn’t it? History is fascinating when you can already see it but when it is beneath your feet and you didn’t know it was there…well that’s just another level to us! I’m so pleased we found it and have the opportunity to unearth it like we are also to be able to share it with you all is fantastic 😘

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahaha how amazing would that be eh?! We used to watch Goldrush on Discovery channel and loved watching that. I did say to Ben the other day actually that we need to get one of those sieving pans to see what bits and pieces are in the soil that we’ve dug! 😂🤣

[@mnamber]

@@thecornerhouseproject oh man, gold rush!! I’m on my way!! 😂😂

[@wendypritch]

I'm interested!! Looking forward to see where it all goes 👍🏼👍🏼

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Yay, very pleased to hear that you do! Ooh us too! We’re having to be good and get on with the outbuilding clearance but keep stopping and standing over the gulley and pondering where it might lead us! 🤣

[@johnoneill5812]

Hello Dawn, nice to see you in the middle of the week. You can count me among those who are interested in and have an appreciation for history. While I am looking forward to construction and repair projects on the house and outbuildings, I really enjoyed watching you and Ben clear your property and uncover what was hidden by the soil and composted manure. Half my ancestors came to Canada in the 1830s to about 1851 from various regions of Ireland, so I appreciate any insight into how they lived 200 years or more ago.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It’s quite fascinating isn’t it? They knew how to make a farmyard work with very little other than what was locally sourced. I have an ancestor from Waterford,Ireland who went over to England in about 1870 I think, he was on my mums side of the family. I haven’t been able to find out much about him and his family in Ireland, only about his life path in England. This week has been more focused on the outbuilding and getting that ready for work on it and that is very exciting too! It’s been a long time coming!

[@karelpetrnek3688]

Boredom? No way. All your videos are absolutely interesting. Thanks for revealing your secret and be sure to film what happens next.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww thank you for saying so! Oh we will definitely film it…sadly it’s all on hold at the moment as we’ve got lots of stuff to be getting on with us but everytime I go out back and see it, I want to keep on digging!

[@lynettepacella9880]

Don’t listen to the hater !! I think it’s interesting! Not to mention it’s your property do what you want! ✌🏻💞😊

[@adalb137]

I admit that I felt frustrated that you didn't use a digger for a while. However, once you started unearthing the mystery cobbles, I became fascinated. The determination and seemingly endless energy the two of you have is commendable and inspiring! I enjoy watching everything you do. Keep it up!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahaha, now and again it frustrated us that we felt we couldn’t a digger either because it was hard hard going at times…but as soon as we found something…that was it…till the bitter end! Haha. Definitely not endless energy….the determination…yes lol Thank you very much for your comment😊

[@Leslie_AvalonAcresFarm]

I love everything you do, inside and out. I'm not bored by the digging, it's cool to see what you find. Don't let the naysayers dictate what you film, they will always find something to complain about, no matter what you do. Record what you feel like, there are many of us who are interested!!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

That’s so lovely to hear, thank you very much. It weird as humans we tend to focus and dwell on the negative when in reality there is so much more positivity than negativity…so I must work on not letting the negative affect me too much. 😂

[@ceriwibberley8364]

Thank you Lynette :-) We will do our very best. Thank you as always :-)

[@jacquelinechilvers9361]

It all makes sense. A working farmyard would have had a drainage system. How brilliant to find such a clue to long ago. Well done you x

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We are really excited with this extra little find. It is like something you would see on the TV, but it is on our own land which is unreal. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. Thank you again :-)

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

I love the search through the rocks and mud to find out what is beneath. ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We do, it is very exciting. We knew the hole wasn't just a hole when we started to discover some "old" crockery, maybe a vase or something. I say "old" as we have no idea, but we feel it was buried a long time ago when this gully was filled in. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@cferguson3368]

I do make comments & offer suggestions because I think your work is interesting...And I know you have an audience & want to provide content that is liked.... but it is your project, your house, & your land. We don't live there, nor will we ever live there. You need to do what you find interesting & what is best for your situation. A digger might be cool & faster, but it just may not be the best choice for you. I think if you look at the majority of comments, we aren't complaining about these choices. Follow your own needs & passions, not a handfull on "offsite supervisors" who have no interest in your project other than directing actions according to what they think they would do in your situation.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much and you’re right and we get too excited about things to not carry on with them lol. There’s lots of mundane in life isn’t there with the usual stuff like washing, housework, food shopping….its nice to have something so completely different to do, things that fire your imagination everyday! I think a digger would be cool to have a go at as well and there are a few things that we might possibly get a digger in for but we are very pleased we didn’t in this incidence. We’d have been gutted if we pulled all of that apart accidentally. We do know that the majority people only provide suggestions and advice with the very best intentions too and we do appreciate each and everyone 😊

I think it's really fascinating. Real history, you can see. When you pointed to the other buildings and showed where you thought they might all connect, it's like a puzzle all coming together. Magic!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It is like a puzzle and we sit and discuss and until we uncover more, if there is more, we will never know. Hopefully soon we will find something else. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@krisgalusha9820]

Dig on. I’ve been impressed with your ability to stay with it.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Kris, thank you for watching and commenting :-) We will carry on until we can't find any more or if we don't have a clue (not unusual) But we certainly won't give up. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@heatherjohnston8946]

Well done, please keep going I love seeing everything about your home and the land. x

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Heather it’s very much appreciated and also lovely to hear 😘

[@helen9379]

Love watching you guys digging and uncovering things. Keep going, dont listen to negative Nellie's.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed Helen for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. We try not to :-) Thank you again :-)

[@ldianehigley3287]

First off, I am so glad the rain came to add to your water collection! Also, not bored at all to see what you have found in your digging--very exciting! Have fun, and hope you find more interesting things.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We collected 2100 litres in 12 hours and that didn't include 4 washing machine loads and 3 showers :-) It really was like Christmas haha. Fingers crossed we can uncover some more soon, we are itching to keep going but the outbuilding being repaired is more important, but it won't be long until we share more if we find more. Thanks for being a channel member, watching and commenting :-)

[@pascalkuipers8099]

Yes love it

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Yay! Thank you 🤩

[@rosalinearendse305]

Dear Dawn I resently came across your cannel and you got me hooked I must say I was bit sad when you decided not to dig anymore I know it's hard work but I so curious please keep going ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Well, we are very glad that we put this video up then for you to be able to see how we’ve been getting on. It’s very exciting seeing new things appear. The hardwork, we hope, is behind us and now whatever we do is small and enjoyable again 😊❤️

[@rosannehart7325]

That is so cool. I agree that it should go to the ditch. Did you also cut down more of that big oak tree? Don’t work too hard this week.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We’re a little wary of that tree…it is sooo huge and sitting on top of that one outbuilding in possibly 3 places. So it’s going to be a bit of a tricky one to get out. We’re glad you find it 😎 as we do too! 😘

[@clivecarser7356]

Your property, your vlog ,you do as you want .i am interested in everything you both do !! Its fun to watch things begin discovered ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed Clive. We are really chuffed with it all, first the gully and circle thing and now an extra gully, hopefully we will find more. Thank you again and as always :-)

[@karencatalano4349]

I just found your channel and I have been going through your older videos. Your not doing anything boring. It’s your channel,your choice what you show

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much for saying so. We are learning over time that we should just please us lol. Also welcome to the channel and it’s lovely to have you aboard! ❤️

[@lyndaf.6329]

There’s nothing boring about your channel and I am excited as you to know exactly what that farm yard has yet to reveal. Okay you have a lot to do in the house but that can be done in winter and the outside jobs and repairs to the out buildings can be done now. You are two wonderful people going on a journey and it’s an honor to be able to share it with you.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Exactly! The house isn't going anywhere and it is warm, dry and comfortable. We love the land and space which is why we are here, but we didn't expect to be digging up the past, we are so excited. The outbuilding work is priority and we have been prepping for that (moving stuff again). Hopefully soon we can start the actual work on it. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. Thank you again :-)

[@jenniferjackson6535]

Definitely interested!!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. Thank you again :-)

[@mariecampos-ts2bm]

Hi there,yes i agree the área of the digging is very interesting and It being so old.Keep Up digging 👍

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We will indeed. Thank you Marie :-) Also, thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@edhughes8619]

I was looking forward to seeing what that gulley from the outbuilding was, wre it went, etc. None of the videoes are boring. Enjoy all the videos. At the end of the day, your project, your choice as to what you do.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed Ed. It was by pure accident that Dawn found it. Now we just want to keep uncovering, but the outbuilding really is more important. Hopefully we can get to uncovering some more soon. Thanks for being a channel member, watching and commenting :-)

[@annematten7218]

Oh, Dawn that was hilarious! Wondered what you were going to confess to, you keep going girl.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahahaha Anne. We will keep the other confessions for another video. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

[@cindyblair1283]

I am excited that your going to discover the history on your beautiful property. If those get bored they do have the chose not to watch. But I am a history person myself and very happy that you are not giving up. God bless❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We love finding new things around this house and land. This will be an ongoing investigation when time allows. We may have already found all there is in this area, but we will keep looking just the same. Thanks for watching and commenting :-)

[@kaye-q1k]

That’s amazing. I agree that the good summer weather you work outside and when winter comes you can work in the hose. The renovations have to work for you not the viewers.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Kathleen. We worked inside last summer as the getting into the house to live and ready for winter was our number one priority but missed the nice weather, all four days of it in between the rain, so hopefully this year we will get a better summer and can enjoy being outside. House stuff will still get done but the order of works isn't just a simple 1,2,3 as we need storage etc to then be able to clear rooms to work in them, so people may expect 1,2,3 but you know us, we have 9,3,6,8,2,4 hahaha. Thank you as always :-)

[@justgoodness333littlehomes5]

Rain is so wonderful. We've been in drought with only 3 rain events in 3 months. Last night we got a decent rain. My garden is rejoicing.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Oh my goodness that must be awful 😞 I’ve always liked a bit of rain as it freshens everything up, I like it even more now we need it for our water supply! Glad to hear you finally had some rain, maybe we should do a little rain dance for you!

[@mimiedacuycuy1651]

The fact that digging is really especially rainy days but for me I'm always and really follow you regarding that "courtyard" if you may... to uncover more of the ruins and maybe lots of treasures "not pertaining to gold" but artifacts from that era. Glad you are doing it again... am not bored, always looking forward to whatever you both do.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Gold would be wonderful hahahaha. In this little bit we have just found, we have found some old pottery but broken. We are hoping we can piece it back together. It may not be that old really though as it looks like it was thrown in the gully before it was filled in. Maybe we will find some interesting things as / if we find more. Fingers crossed. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

[@christinerowlands539]

Please don't think you're ever boring - far from it, it's a great watch 👌😘

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Auntie Chris ❤️

[@jmck6320]

Keep doing what you are doing!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We surely will! Thank you! 🤩

[@Andrewcc.]

I find it very interesting and am always happy to watch.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thanks very much Andrew. Hopefully we will find some more bits of the gully soon. The outbuilding is the priority but the digging will continue. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@colettelavery7452]

It was a fantastic treat to see a video from you on Tuesday night .It was no surprise to me that you were working behind the scenes on the ground work as I am intrigued also to find out how the drainage works. I hope you're water has refilled as nothing as bad as saving water.Dawn and Ben everyone has an opinion when it is not their money. You carry on as it is your home to do what you want when and how you want. Love all your doing. Take care and God Bless you both xx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We thought it would be nice to do an extra video as although it sounds really odd, we miss you all. From seven a week to three and now only one, although time consuming, we miss it. Anyway lol..... it would be lovely if we can find more of the original gullies, we are not getting to excited just in case we have found all there is, but we will keep looking. A soil pipe was dug in from the house down to the land and we don't think they will have been bothered about anything in there way. We will see though. Thank you Colette, as always, for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have a bit more soon. :-)

[@tanyacurtis2884]

I love watching all that you do. Thanks for sharing your dirty little secret. Looking forward to seeing progress of your excavations.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It is always good to have a secret, not sure about dirty little ones so we came clean hahaha. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. Thank you again :-)

[@ChNugget]

Keep on digging guys and let’s see what it’s all about.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It is a shame it takes so long picking at stones not knowing if there should be there or not. Hopefully, knowing this gully is there and we can see how it was built will help make it a bit easier. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon. Thank you again :-)

[@marionmounsey4737]

Aww I think you should carry on, amazing, never bored watching your videos,love that your both so passionate about your land ❤️xx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We love it all Marion but the land is special. The house is amazing and once finished it will be lovely but that doesn't change. The land needed so much sorting and always needs mowing. The digging part wasn't expected but we are really pleased we started. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@jonashagstrom4664]

Great that you are so careful about the history of the farm!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It is important to keep things from the past that can sometimes be so easily be removed. Eventually it will probably become part of a patio type area but will keeping it's key features. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@rosaleezeier2559]

Very interesting to me! Thank you for sharing for us historical buffs!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

You are most welcome Rosalee. Thanks for being a channel member, watching and commenting :-)

[@gtc3650]

I can only speak for myself but I too am interested in finding out what you discover from your digging. I did fast forward through a month of digging episodes. I’m glad you’re sharing your journey, you do what you need to do, but for me it could be maybe be one or two time lapse episodes after you’ve completed so in the end you can show what you discovered. I wish you success in your build and your channel.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We don’t mind at all with the fast forwarding lol I do it when I watch some videos too, too impatient is my trouble and I want to see what happens! 🤣 Timelapse could definitely work, it would be nice to be able to cobble it all together at really high speed to see from beginning to end result too..hmmm…something to think about lol

[@symondays]

I loved your discovery. Great work of Archaeology. I think you should continue the excavations, I find it very interesting! It made me as happy as the apple blossoms! Go ahead !👏👏👏👏

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Symon. We are excited to carry on, hopefully, we will find more soon :-) Thank you so much for always watching and commenting :-)

[@brendasullivan9423]

I am so interested and excited in all discoveries that you find! Keep us updated that love this stuff!! I love the excitement and discussions you guys have when you first find things. Brenda USA

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Brenda, that is really nice of you to say so. We are really excited and hope it doesn't turn to disappointment. We will keep looking :-) Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting :-)

[@SerendipitySharon]

I watch your channel because of you two. It gets to be about you, your ways and needs and whatever you feel like doing. You get to go at your own pace as well, I find it fascinating and think You can follow your intuition because there's definitely more channels. Besides, you are being edged on, so to speak, by the farmer who use to live there and probably built it. :)

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We do like to read your comments as there are always spiritual and although we wouldn't say we are as such, we do believe we found it for a reason. Hopefully we will find some more and can share it with you. Thank you so much for always watching and commenting and of course being a channel member :-)

[@someoneelsemothermother8259]

I love watching the digging. I'm waiting to see what Time Line didn't find, and you did.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hopefully we can discovery some more and share it soon. Dawn doesn't give it and something like this will never be given up on until we have found all we can. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

[@justwords3882]

I'm excited as well, please keep us informed what you find

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Roy We certainly will. After this video was done we had a bit more of an investigate but didn't find anything. At the moment with the outbuilding and various jobs being done, this is waiting for another day. We haven't forgotten about it though. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It is nice to have you here Roy :-)

[@shereetsorvas3822]

Not bored at all. Love your channel❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed Sheree and thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@rebeccazody1278]

Love seeing your digging etc. your tasks are great

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much indeed Rebecca :) Thank you very much for watching and commenting :-)

[@pamlove625]

Yes keep us informed. I was actually a little disappointed when you stopped the digging vlogs.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Ooooh it didn't really stop, have you met Dawn? hahaha. This new discovery was a happy accident, as Dawn explained, where a stone was moved by accident and now we have a deep hole which is lined with built stones, it is amazing. Don't worry, after the response we have received, we will keep you updated if we find more :-) Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

[@LewisC1944]

Not boring at all, it was a nice surprise to get your extra video. Ignore those who think you should be getting on with other things VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE 🤣XX

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Carol. Yeah, we try to. Nothing like a bit of spice :) Thank you as always Carol xx

[@GayleRussell20]

Wow! How intriguing! I love history just like you. Just think, if you would have used a digger all that would have been destroyed. Don't let "those" people get you down. This is your home, you do what pleases you.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good evening Gayle and thank you very much. We do like a bit of history and trying to get that area back to something like it used to be originally would be great. 200 / 250 years or maybe even older, this new gully is exciting! Yes, a digger would have done it quickly and probably removed it all as we didn't even know it was there to start with. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

[@judyholdsworth7096]

I love the digging!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

We do but our backs don't haha. Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting. Hopefully we will have uncovered more soon Judy. Thank you again :-)
