It finally happened... after four years of work I finished the granary restoration. What was a centuries-old, ruined stone building, with a collapsed roof, dirt floor, no windows or doors and crumbling stone walls, is now a fully-functioning workshop. Thank you to everyone who helped along the way!

What an amazing job done restoring the old granary , it looks fabulous. Can’t wait to see the old cottage brought back to life 🙃

[@ko6el]

Yeah but not in bright red 🕶️

[@ko6el]

The lintels look great, but the doors, personal taste I know, nice to see siorla? Pottering around too ✨

[@literallyanything9811]

Yes, great job on that one. I still can't believe that he had to order locks from all the way from the UK to Northern Ireland...hahaha

[@aprilriordan8202]

@@ko6el red is a common enough colour for trims in rural Ireland 🙃

[@toddlavigne6441]

totally agree...what amazing character this guy is.

[@yeswing10]

With all the craziness and evil in the world, you're a reminder of what life should be like. God Bless you.

[@andymccabe6712]

I suspect the world has ALWAYS been 'crazy' and 'evil'..! We suffer, today, mainly from too much information! In the 'good old days' we didn't know what was going on anywhere else..........

[@airlieconway3464]

Incredible work. You are one of the few on here that do this at your own pace & I love that. Many rush in & start planting in the first year before they know the land, climate, geology etc. I love that you took 4 years to do this at minimal cost with volunteers & recycle as much as possible. Doing the barn first was also a brilliant idea. A practice run so your cottage will be incredible. If it takes you another 4 years or longer to do the cottage then so be it. Bravo.

[@johnmcdonald489]

If that step slopes upwards as they go out you might want to consider cutting a slot in it just in front of the door for drainage.

[@mikedeman5351]

It's always surprising, not only how long these jobs take, but also the material costs. You done a nice job of it. A good workshop is essential - especially when you get round to renovating the cottage. Best wishes :)

[@christopherstottart]

I have been enjoying your channel for a few years now, so it is very satisfying to see the transformation. Well done! (And the red accents are superb.)

[@anitadawson1113]

From Oklahoma, USA to Ireland I compliment you on a great job. Lots of hard work but well worth it.

[@anniedavis4569]

The stone granary looks beautiful and the red trim Windows and doors contrast beautiful.A brilliant job done by all as its all teamwork. Outstanding

[@robinsouth8555]

The video I have been waiting for!!! First love the red. Second is a word of caution, the slide locks do work great, but in my case to well. I got locked in my goat barn, the wind slammed the door and the law of whats in motion remains in motion kicked in the lock slid shut and I was stuck in there for 2 hours, thankfully my husband was home and it wasn't freezing cold, and I could get my little dogs barking inside to wake my husband. What was 2 hours could have been upwards of 2 days. I have gate latches which now have caribbeaners on them to prevent that.

[@sclark223]

That thought crossed my mind too! Glad you were rescued quickly!

[@Julia-zj2ch]

Oh my goodness, Daniel! It is delightful to see your skill, determination, patience and ingenuity on this gorgeous granary! You are such an inspiration. I just love every one of your videos and love everything you do. You are a special person.

[@helenel4126]

Perhaps during some seasons of the year, you could even move a sleeping bag or mattress into the building as a temporary shelter. That building would definitely withstand the fiercest winter storm.

[@ginacrusco234]

It's probably a good thing that you didn't know at the outset that it would take four years to restore the granary, as that might have been discouraging. My college voice teacher told me that she didn't usually level with her students that "it takes 10 years to build a voice" because most would not have stuck with it. You've done a beautiful job, and the world thanks you -- at least the world of people who cherish and want to preserve tradition.

[@BUSTER.BRATAMUS]

the galvy sheets age nicely, look cool, and add character.

[@neligencheva2440]

Mossy Bottom - one of the main reasons, believe it or not, why I moved to Ireland. I hope I will get the chance to visit one day! Currently living in beautiful Killarney with plenty to explore whilst working to become free of my student debt but who knows where I will end up having inspirations like that. It's just nice to follow up ideas like that budding and blooming. Many blessings for the whole household!:) Nelly.

[@szolanek]

I didn't think it will be ready in my lifetime. It was worth waiting.

[@kierankelly520]

I know the ecoflow piece was an ad, but why was i fascinated by it.

[@CLFL14256]

because it is a gamechanger for independence. I was so fascinated that I bought a smaller one some months ago. At least I can have coffee in a power outage, lol

[@georgepetrin1334]

You were right when you said the granary was a work of art. In the process you have become a competent craftsman. Congratulations on a job well done.

[@KismetLizard]

We just had to say goodbye to our retired working collie, and seeing Moss so happy is really lovely.

[@hdwoodshop]

Genius decision to do the granary first. Then you apply what you learned to the cottage restoration. Looking forward to your progress.

[@teresacrowley4076]

Well done. Your hard work has paid off. It looks brilliant!!!

[@leewilliams4541]

Fascinating to watch your remarkable journey. I volunteered helping a couple who's KZbin channel is called "Ship Happens" restoring a world war 2 boat used in the D-day. Very rewarding day's with the skills learnt and the people you meet, of course plenty of brews to keep you going. Knowing that you have contributed to a piece of history to something that will be around for many years.

[@mumpygumboo8554]

It's great to do these things when one is younger. I'm in my fifties now and it's harder to do a lot, and if I could go back in time, I'd do things better so they don't require so much maintenance. Example: I'm rebuilding a fence that I could've built out of cedar, but I used regular lumber and painted it. Cedar and stain would've lasted so much longer.

[@33Jenesis]

I found you in your early youtube days. So satisfying to witness you slowly transform your property into what it is today. You are a remarkable young man and I sincerely wish you health, safety, prosperity, good fortune, and always surrounded by good people.

[@LizasLoft]

Excellent job. I love how you repurposed the old clothing. The granary is beautiful!

[@annieontheroad]

Wut? Are people saying you're fat??? You are NOT. You look great :)

[@dayinthedark]

Amazing content and progress as always, a pleasure to watch.

[@tanellebergshoeffinterieur1986]

Finaly a story about the restoration. It has been promised several times . Thanks its great.

[@lovelyskull3483]

Such an incredible restoration. Thank you.

[@melaniadomingo8157]

Your hard work and tenacity is very obvious. A well directed plan for the future.

[@walkingthemiles4613]

Loads of hard work that has really paid off! Looks awesome 👍 Thanks again for sharing!

[@robscoble1579]

Fantastic. A work of art. You've achieved so much over the years, well done! Don't suppose you fancy having a go at restoring our old ruin now? 😜

[@VeronicaPalahniuc]

With hard work come great satisfaction! Well done!!

[@Tsuchimursu]

old clothes won't insulate anything if you soak them properly in the concrete - it's the air trapped between fibers that makes wowen clothes insulating. If you left them full of air for insulation you'd be jeopardising the integrity of the floor - so no insulation with clothes in the concrete. x)

[@petrichor259]

Warmth emanating from our body gets trapped in the fiber

[@marirose19]

What a difference, Daniel. I’m so glad you now have a workshop! Yay! Talk about putting blood, sweat, & tears into a project. Of course, you’re no stranger to that. I remember that time you were sick from drinking unfiltered water from your stream, if memory serves. Could you have or did you get sick from shoveling up the animal especially rat droppings kicking up in the dust. I was surprised to see you weren’t safely masked up for a project like that. At any rate, the former granary now looks stunning. I remember how it looked in the early days. Bravo!! 👏🏼 🌀✌🏼

[@gazmalman]

Beautiful job! I’ve used the plastic coated sheet on my my workshop, been in place for 10 years and still in good Nick.

[@tarey05]

Congratulations, Daniel! you have managed to restore the granary to perfection! You must feel so gratified by all that you learned and achieved. You never fail to amaze us!

[@gwenowens6727]

Wonderful to see the old granary completed, the workshop is ideal for projects out of the wind and rain. You’ve acquired so many skills over the last four years Daniel, it’s inspirational watching your progress. Best wishes x

[@Galluchh]

Your stone work is brilliantly beautiful. You look like a healthful farmer who works for a living. Congratulations on all your hard work.

[@jgg59]

It looks so great. I can’t wait until you start on the cottage you’re gonna do a beautiful job. The granary has taught you everything you need to do for the cottage

[@maeveskelly4686]

Beautiful job Daniel (and all the elves that helped you en route). I can’t wait to see what you do with the house. 👏👍

[@rumorhasit9506]

Wow! Well done you and your volunteers! I'm sure you would never have completed this without Moss's help. You have gotten so much done over the few years you have been there. A job like this can not be rushed if you want to do it right!

[@peppermintp2610]

It looks amazing! Congratulations on your accomplishment. Greetings from San Diego California! Love the channel.

[@elenabello138]

Great job ! I really appreciated the respect you had in the restoration of the granary . I think that ancient buildings tell the history of a place and the people who lived there. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped you. Elena, Italy

Why the Irish are more fair than the rest of the north. They have something in their hearts that cannot accept injustice. Respect to all the Irish on earth 👍
