@@WestCorkWander loved, liked and subscribed to both channels. This one is a beautiful summary scrapbook of the talent, skills, hard work and love you have invested over the last couple of years of your lives in. Can’t wait to see what you do next and have really enjoyed your sharing your part of our world with me🩷

[@vickihamrick5134]

You have done an amazing job renovating, restoring, and updating the house, not to mention the grounds, gardens, greenhouse, etc. You chose a beautiful place, with everything you could possibly want within an easy reach. I hope you, your children and future grandchildren are able to enjoy what you have for many, many happy years in the future!

[@morrigans_cottage]

It was so lovely to watch this back from start to finish! I think the first video I watched from when I first found your channel was the piggery being dug out! I am always in awe of what you've done completely by yourselves... Forever impressed and in awe it's a beautiful beautiful home congrats to you both and your family, morri and I wish you decades of happy memories ❤

[@WestCorkWander]

Thanks Aisling, it's all possible with a bit of blood sweat and tears and a lot of patience 😂

[@morrigans_cottage]

@WestCorkWander honestly I'd say you've poured the blood, sweat, and tears in but what a stunning house!!! So happy for ye!

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

What an amazing transformation! I don’t know how you got this amount of work done AND still were able to film and edit these videos. I am just catching up…..actually going backwards watching them. Kudos to you both!!!! 😊🤗 Kathy

[@WestCorkWander]

Thank you so much Kathy! It's been a rollercoaster quite literally ! 🤣

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

@ Understandably! Great job!! 🏅

[@anniedavis4569]

that’s one huge transformation in a year and wow you both worked really hard Rob and Clare. just look at the lovely comfy cosy house ye have now. i loved the music and the ending was epic. stand proud and look at all ye have accomplished

[@WestCorkWander]

Man,is there anything you can't do?You are checking of a hard worker and a good cook.😊

😊 thanks

[@brianchester4218]

WOW some creative ideas and using some of the material you removed is great for the planet but what you have done is amazing thanks for sharing the journey with all of us viewers

[@WestCorkWander]

Your very welcome Brian. We hope we can inspire others to have a go at the same 😊

[@stknmggs1788]

Amazing work! You are a delightful couple. I enjoy the jaunts to the sea and the glimpses of your Irish heritage.

[@WestCorkWander]

Thank you very much! Lovely to have you with us along the way 🥰

[@zodiaczigzag1853]

You two must feel very proud of yourself, to achieve what you did for your home :)xxx

[@WestCorkWander]

Aww thanks, yes we love our home and all the imperfections because they are ours... May be different if we paid someone and was looking at their mistakes 🤣

[@joandonnelly9187]

Epic job! Well done on all that you have accomplished so far. Enjoy every minute from here on out.

[@WestCorkWander]

Thanks, will do!

[@leemckee7230]

I cannot believe how well your home turned out! That was a clever use of, what we in Canada, call chipboard on the bedroom walls.

[@WestCorkWander]

Aw thanks, we are chuffed with it :) and weve wanted to use the chipboard sine we saw it on tv a few years ago ;)

[@TheHavasu_77]

Happy New Year!! 🎉💚 I was sick and then had to hustle to get Christmas ready for my 10 year old daughter!😅 Love you guys, and I hope 2025 brings you lots of happiness and joy!! 😊❤️

Fan-bloody-tastic video, I love watching your progress, keep up the good work 👍❤

[@WestCorkWander]

Thank you! Will do!

[@martinbarker5045]

Love the OSB rustic look.

[@WestCorkWander]

Thanks, it was a worry ordering the OSB, but it turned out better than we hoped!

[@Jmg8-vm8me]

It's just fab! The energy levels ye both kept up all that time, it was full on. & the progress just happened so quickly & consistently, no moaning or skiving etc... even the rest days looked full on😂 it's very original but fits into the surroundings too. Can u please do a video on how or what research & prep ye did first, like do ye have construction backgrounds? And budget and costs would be cool to know.? How did ye have the confidence to do the plumbing & electrics too? Like are u trained or did someone help etc? Well done both, you are truly very capable, plus ye didn't kill eachother in the process😂😂🎉🎉

[@WestCorkWander]

No backgrounds... just no budget so we had no choice too do it ourselves ;) and we were thoroughly done dealing with banks, and being treated awfully by banks!

[@johndurkin6152]

U guys are amazing couple n can’t believe what u did in a year and half !!! If I ever get to Ireland 🇮🇪 I would love ❤️ to see it congrats 🎉

[@WestCorkWander]

Thankyou for your comment, Ireland should be on the bucket list 😉

[@asilva4138]

❤🎉 Love the video! What a great achievement, you should be very proud! ❤🎉😊

[@WestCorkWander]

Thank you so much!! Tired and weary looking forward to Christmas for a break 😀

[@pattykey1254]

Wow,your home looks fantastic.😊❤

[@WestCorkWander]

Thank you! 🤗

[@maeveskelly4686]

That was a great catch up on the monumental work you’ve both done to date. There is nothing that you won’t turn your hand to. And you’ve built up such a broad skill set through hands on experience. I know you’ve more plans in the pipeline but now you can pace yourselves much more and take time to relax and enjoy what you’ve built. Well done to the pair of ye. Maith thu.!

[@WestCorkWander]

Thanks Maeve, I think we might enjoy this Christmas! 🎄

[@martinbarker5045]

I loved the video. An amazing job both of you. A lot of hard work but well worth it.👍

[@WestCorkWander]

Thanks, we loved it! 😊

[@yvonnemulvihill4456]

Congratulations what an amazing journey you have been on so far, and what a wonderful job you have done. I found the music to this video very moving, take care and Good Luck. 😊😊

[@WestCorkWander]

Thank you so much! Rob spent a long time picking the soundtrack. He wanted the music to carry theproject not our voices. He is delighted you liked it 😊😊😊

[@rootbrag]

Its like I have turned the last page on a great book. But, of course, it only the beginning really. Brilliant journey.

[@WestCorkWander]

Glad you enjoyed it!

A. Amazing work 👍💪

[@WestCorkWander]

Thank you 🙌

[@phelimoneill2813]

It must've been so daunting taking a very fun down but still basically FUNCTIONAL house (water, lights, internal walls etc) all the way back to literally a shell to start over again AND expand the building footprint along the way - Very, very brave lol!

[@WestCorkWander]

It's a project we wanted to do and just went looking for the right house. Because of that it wasn't too scary

[@miriammuskal5402]

So much work done 😅with great looking rooms

[@WestCorkWander]

Tell me about it 🥰

[@Debbie-kt6ck]

🙌🙌🙌 brilliant, and hello to you too 😂

[@WestCorkWander]

Love it 😁😍

[@Jmg8-vm8me]

Wow its fab really is! Fits surprisingly well into the surroundings too. U both did great consistent work, it paid off! No sciving there! Do ye have any type of construction backgrounds? How did ye have the confidence to tackle the plumbing & electrics? Or the know how? It looked very complicated.. be good to have a video on that, with costings too if ye dont mind sharing...? Research time, all that was needed. Good ye didnt kill eachother too🎉😂 u really wudnt think it could b done so well, so quick with 2 people! Kept labour costs down.

[@WestCorkWander]

Aww thanks, nope we had no construction backgrounds. Rob is creative and believes he can do anything lol Plumbing an electrics were scary, but really nothing too hard, youtube is very good, and we had a decent electrician who came a few times to help direct our effort. Will do a costings video in 2 weeks. If anything it brought us much closer, you really do learn a lot more about your partner than you thought you knew doing a project like this together! Saved a fortune, but also know the building inside out so should never need any help for maintenance

[@Jmg8-vm8me]

@WestCorkWander wow, even more impressive so! 👏 amazibg what can b done tru confidence & creativity! very inspirational actually! Ye have a business model there too- consultancy or training people to do it too themselves... plus some bits were truly challenging, like how to proceed wit half an uneven stone wall but add blocks to it etc. Most wud knock it & do all new build. Ye opened my eyes!

[@WestCorkWander]

Aw lovely to hear, with the stone wall, we just grabbed what was nearby ;) Honestly its the way houses were build years ago, family and friends got together and just got it done. At the same time there were rich folk who built castles with skilled tradespeople. Somehow we have all become brainwashed to believe that we need a castle!

[@smiley9872]

Jaysus, you two are something else, well done folks, well done. The panel heater on the ceiling in the new kitchen, is it something you would recommend? I have been through your videos, couldn't find much info on it. I think it is infraRed.

[@WestCorkWander]

Yip its Infared, it works really well actually. Strange feeling, just like a fire. were planning to get more for the kids bedrooms but have a photo printed on them will include that in a future video!

[@smiley9872]

@@WestCorkWander cool idea!

[@JeepersCrikey-p4p]

Any aches or pains lads? How does Clare do it, if I paint a ceiling, I am floored for a week with neck pain!

[@WestCorkWander]

Rob badly twisted his. ankle and I hurt my elbow at various points. Rob also had swollen hands and achy back every morning. We were achy coming into winter now and moved to a carnivore diet to help with inflammation and energy. This seemed to solve every single issue we had and lots more including improving sleep and focus etc.. it really helped fuel us

[@JeepersCrikey-p4p]

@@WestCorkWander Isn't that amazing, you both look great.

[@phelimoneill2813]

Do you wish now that you'd bought the chinese mini-digger and had the use of it from day one?

[@WestCorkWander]

Honestly we've hardly used it. It's only now we really need it.... But!! Woulda been well handy at the early stages!!

Hi, would you happen to know the artist whom is singing in your video?

[@WestCorkWander]

Yip, I have a playlist. What part of the video and I can tell you exactly?

@@WestCorkWander it’s literally the first song in the video sung by a lady. Something about tears on your pillow.

Thank you xx

[@normanseagull4027]

Would have liked to watch this but too fast for me to focus.

There was a lot going on all right. That's the reason we didn't talk over it, some of our viewers slow down the speed to 50% some even speed it up. Hope it helps, we had a lot to fit in but didn't want it so long 👍
