1 YEAR TIMELAPSE | DIY Couple Building Dream Home in the Irish Countryside | 250 Year old Farmhouse

Күн бұрын

Welcome to our 1 year Timelapse. We have come a long way since selling up and buying our Dream Homestead in the West of Ireland in early 2023.
We wanted to share our progress and take a moment to see what we have achieved and how far we have come, because sometimes as a amateur DIY couple it really doesn't feel like it.
Our story starts sharing the background of us, Clare and Rob, where we came from and what drove us to this point; from when we met in boarding school, travelled the world and started our escape from the rat race journey to our HOME
After years of looking for an old farmhouse or cottage in the Irish Countryside we finally found a beautiful 3 Acre Homestead that we fell in love with. It hadn't been lived in for 15 years and there was a lot of work to do but we couldn't resist and bought it with every last penny we had. In a beautiful home and broke we got a grant of 70k from the Irish Government designed to reclaim derelict homes. This just about covered the building materials but we had to learn all the trades and how to do everything ourselves, while both working full time jobs.
*Sorry about the audio, we bought a new mic for this video but it didnt work out as we hoped.

We still white board the week as it can be too easy to get carried away from the most priority work. Anyway, you'll be fine, serious work already achieved 💪💪

It isn't possible that I can comment on everything you have done in 12 months, this video really shows how much you two have done, it is remarkable. To think we found you on KZfaq, sat at your kitchen table in the dark discussing what you were going to do, to now DIY experts who have basically rebuilt their house in front of our very eyes. Not only have you done all of this but you both had full time jobs so did it at night. 1:30am, Oh my god. You two are truly amazing and we are so pleased we found your KZfaq channel 12 months ago. You are both inspiring and sh*t can you both work hard. Well done both of you for all of the work, well done for catching up with getting the videos out there and well done for starting a second video each week for the growing and planting etc. I know we will learn a lot from you. Keep on going, you really are amazing and should be so very very proud. All the best and Happy Easter to all four of you :-)

@WestCorkWander 19 күн бұрын

Depending on where you live there are always one or two companies who will pick it up. Google "asbestos removal" and your town and they will tell you exactly how they work, everyone is different but most places will be cheaper if you remove from roof yourself and double bag them ready for collection. Some companies will want them in bags others will want in a specially lined skip 👍

@@MrMooneclips It is really good to mention other channels we have a couple here in Ireland we know and one advertises the other so to speak, so it is a really good thing and can help collaboration between channels. Our corrugation has or is supposed to have an anti condensation film, we haven't experienced any problems yet thankfully. I must take a look at the channel you mentioned 👍

i see, i was only worried becasue i have seen the condensation issue arise on other channel even when they planned alot becasue they dident plan in the condensation, SLR is a american couple so they are from "across the water" so to speak but i think they have good content, anyhow what you do whit my information is up to you but i was only asking things i was wondering about, anyways keep up the good work :) @@WestCorkWander

btw beside your channel then i found another irish channel that does renovation and that channel is called "The Irish Homestead" i have only watched 2 episodes of it but i think they are doing good episodes also and they are not "across the pond" so that is maybe something you want to check out if you are looking for other diy renovation channels.:)@@WestCorkWander

Why didn’t you do a shed roof off the house for the kitchen. Instead of a flat roof.

@WestCorkWander Ай бұрын

Both the kitchen and bedroom rooves are at a slight angle so not exactly flat. We were not going to make either into a two storey so it seemed logical to do it this way and we like the look. It also makes for an easy roof for maintenance and easy access to the main farmhouse roof. Thank you for watching 😊

Watch our video on the roof removal, we researched this hugely before taking it on. Thank you for commenting 🙂

Do your children work with you off camera to help ?

They do. Ciara makes most of our dinners and Ash is in charge of firewood. They both walk the dog and feed the animals.

Lovely looking farmhouse but editing is erratic. Really don't like the wooden cladding. Looks out of place for an old Irish farmhouse.

@WestCorkWander 19 күн бұрын

Thanks, a year ago we had no editing experience, now we have slightly more experience, the editing is clearly different across this video as we didn't use raw files, we actually used the edited KZfaq videos. Well spotted! Agree that the cladding is unusual, we had several options at design stage, we like it aesthetically, but chose cladding for several reasons from cost,ease of use and eco reasons..
