Hi Bruce and Family, Welcome to Ireland from a Tipperary man. I follow your videos with great interest and look forward to many more. All the best for 2022 may it bring you and your family health and happiness .

Good to see the full length of the cottage in the first minute. Lovely building. That scaffolding will find plenty of use, when you are done with it you will get money back.

Well done Bruce, looks great, hope the girls enjoyed the camp out.

Great going. Your daughters are awesome camping in that weather. Wonderful and prosperous new year for you and your family.

I am so glad you got scaffolding, I nearly had palpitations with that wooden apex and standing on the van, looks amazing

Ah the workshop will be great when it's finished. Looks a really good size 👍

Good Thinking Bruce , keep on with the work Fantastic... Lovely Van the Mitchell's have , I was watching the conversion. A Happy and healthy New Year ..enjoy. greetings from Killaloe..

Happy New Year to you & your family

Scaffolding is a great investment. You will certainty need it for many of the on going resto projects you have planned and, even if/when you ever don't need it, someone else will for sure. Glad you had a good Christmas. Have a great New Year. Looking to many more videos and adventures!

Do whatever you need to do. You and your family are amazing.

Greetings from county Mayo Bruce

Love from India .

Good stuff well done and scaffolding was a good buy.Great to see the kids enjoying a winter camp.Thanks for sharing.

Good work on getting the scaffolding be super useful thats some shed your building are you gonna use 6/3 or 5)3 timbers concrete base is some job steel mesh are you gonna fit a loft good luck Happy 2022 all the best from Tyrone 🍻

Well done Bruce!✅👍

Nice work guys and good shout with the scaffolding, although 10/10 for ingenuity with the sketchy improvisation! 🤣 Look forward to seeing the finished thing and happy new year to you and your family 🥳🍻

Great work,wishing you all the best for the new year

Happy new year from Roscommon! Nice shed :D

as soon as you said- i need the height and the tractor wont reach ,i knew you would use the van,but still its a good idea on the scafolding though it wil pay for itself many times over the years on roof repairs painting etc

coming along nicely Bruce, happy new year to you all :-)

Good day to you Bruce & family, new subscriber here !! Been watching the last 8 months of your videos and loved everyone. Can't wait to see more !! Going to back to your roots and starting from you first video "the music years" around 11years ago and everyone after !! 🙏💚👍🇬🇧......Simon

Ha ! there's a work mate you can trust the best excuse to buy a bit of kit health and safety and efficacy. lol probably get booed for saying it but accidents don't just happen they are caused (Churchill) nope but it is a good one.. keep building that beautiful life have a good year !

The workshop will turn out nice!!

Good job btw. Just one small thing. Dont reckon it's the "health and safety police". Just some others who've experienced what can happen. Stay safe stay good & happy new year 👍 Quickstage scaffolding? Don't forget to use the tie-ins on the cross members

Just started following your journey and played catch up on previous ones. Great content and really enjoy following the journey. Always wanted to do something like this myself. 👍

Great work Bruce, it's really coming together exciting year for you ahead with all these projects, Happy New Year!

Nice job. When you clad it, if you are going with roofing sheets, get the insulated ones, you'll thank yourself in the future when you're warm and dry (no condensation dripping off the ceiling).

The scaffolding will prove wise investment. Jobs will be so much quicker, there will be plenty more to do as you develop the property. You will also become best friends with lots of neighbours once they know you have some.

Glad to see you have got yourself some kwikform , just a tip you may already be aware when erecting kwikform don't drive the wedges home until you have all scaffold erected otherwise you will struggle with transoms etc stay safe.

Like! 👍 Thank you!

Think I can see a new truck dealership opening!

Excellent We just hired a teleporter when we put our steel frame up, £90/day and I’ve still not had the invoice nearly 5 years later…

better idea safety , one fall could be buggered, happy 2002 to you all

Well done with the scaffolding, you do realise you have just extended your life by using it!! And please stop using the tractor bucket for silly height work. I enjoy watching your channel too much to see a tragedy just waiting to happen. Happy New Year to you and your family!,

That will be a fine shed , what do you think it will cost , as u need to build something similar ?

Hi Bruce, 👋 like the workshop, good size and straight forward looking construction, did you design your self or buy a pre made/ designed? Looking for something similar and interested in keeping the cost down, although in UK and your not 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ looks ideal as like you I'm a one man band!

Nice vid! Who was the blues artist in the background music?

Where did you get the bell tent from, please? 😻😻

More of a question than a comment. I notice you're placing the uprights right on the edge of concrete pad. I always thought the concrete had to be wider than the uprights enough to allow for concrete shear at 45 degrees? In which case shouldn't the pad have been slightly bigger?

Hey Bruce love the channell where did you get your steel frame made ? What size will the workshop be when it’s finished? Thanks

Hi Bruce. I have to say, you're inspiring me to start a channel as well. We have a similar project, in Co. Waterford. I have a very old farm building on a 10ac site that we want to renovate and setup off-grid, as the ESB is charging a fortune and plaster us with red tape to get it connected back to the grid. How has your channel developed since ye started with the off-grid content, cause I think you migrated the channel from the travel content to the off-grid topic (giving you a bit of a headstart, right :) Just trying to gauge how much interest is in this kind of content and if it's worth the extra time effort on top of all the renovation work.

i can see by how you work , it was not going to happen putting up the steel .

Hey Bruce. Lovely. Can I ask where you got your steel frame and insulated roof kit? Keep up with the good work and vids!!

interesting Bruce you went with a steel frame as opposed to blocks or timber frame walls .did you consider any other methods ? id love to know the cost of getting steel fabricated like you did . best of luck with it mate . a bit of scaffold would help the solution alright

Great progress Ben. What kind of tent is did your girls get, looks like something my kids would like.

What did the materials cost?
