Things don't go quite to plan...again!
Рет қаралды 39,604
22 күн бұрынHi, we are Bec, Sam, Isabella & Euan. After selling our house in the UK & travelling Europe in a motorhome for 10 months, we have bought a derelict stone cottage in Ireland. We are keen to try and live an off grid life, free from debt whilst bringing the farm back to its former glory. We are doing this on a very tight budget and plan on doing the work ourselves.
Please follow along on our journey...we need all the support we can get!
This week, the big dig starts and things don't go as planned!

Sam and Bec. It was a pleasure to have been able to help you out on Thursday. Like I said then, you're videos always have a real calmness to them and that was felt in abundance when i was there. The brews were great and were a plenty. I know that we will see each other again and in the meantime keep up the good work. Adam. Adam Murray of Admur Contracts Ltd, Monaghan.

You connect with your subscribers and Adam obviously felt that people do not give up their time on a whim. Every week there has been so much completed from when you started the renovation. I sit here in my nice warm home and am so proud of both you. Love from New Zealand

The generosity of strangers ❤ it makes my heart melt. Adam has saved you absolute days work just by giving one of his, Adam you are an absolute gentleman and star 🌟 It’s a good job the wall was knocked by the digger as it came down way too easily! Much better that you can build it back where you want it, stronger and therefore safer and it’s not like you don’t have the stone available to face it with! Like many I’m think Tango the kitten may become a permanent fixture!! 😜🐱

Always enjoy the continuing progress from Ireland. Here in San Jose, California, it's currently 12:40 a.m. and still over 70 F (21C) so it's a bit comforting to see clouds and folks in jackets. The kitten is adorable and seems to enjoy the view from Euan's shoulder. All your animals are wonderful and what a nice, generous friend you have in Adam.

Taking down that unstable wall will make pouring the concreet slab so much easier and faster. All the rubble you dug out could be perhaps be used to make some kind of windbreak in the garden to help with those strong prevailing winds you get.
