Will they condemn it? Restoring a 200 year old cottage.
Will they condemn our dream? Restoring a 200 year old cottage.
You can find @phillyandkeely here youtube.com/@phillyandkeely?si=sx3Ikl4ek4UPXep- They go on some truly amazing van life adventures and their videos are incredibly well filmed and put together, definitely worth a watch!
After what already feels like weeks of demolition and clearing out, this week we are exposing the 200 year old walls, specifically the old fireplace and chimney in the cottage kitchen.
We seek advice from a specialist to see if we can even retain it, we get a large truck stuck up our narrow lane, there's a hospital visit for one of us and progress on the off grid barn continues with some help from our friends @phillyandkeely
Every week of renovations at our remote cottage in Ireland is an interesting one, we are having such fun adapting to country living and learning to live in rural Ireland. It's a different way of life and very soon our off grid living space will be complete and we can really push on restoring the old house. Subscribe if you want to see how we go with it, its gonna be tough, expensive, physically demanding, there will be tears of joy and frustration I am sure, BUT, its going to be one epic adventure!

    There is a channel I watch on CZcams called Our Self Reliant Life. They have built an earth bag dome and their roof is not only cob but manure and lime mix. It isn't finished yet but the areas that she has applied the manure and lime wash has held up through their monsoon season. Just food for thought.

  • @cookingbynumbers123
    @cookingbynumbers123 Před 10 hodinami

    With a back burner or a surround burner it is vital that the logs you use are very very dry as they will burn at a lower temperature compared to a standard stove or fire. This results in more creosote in the flue and a greater risk of fire. It is much cheaper to buy wood freshly cut and for you to store it in your barn or outbuilding for three years or more than it is to buy seasoned wood. In rural places you should be able to find a farmer or similar who can bring your wood each year. I suggest you stick to hardwood rather than pine as pine takes longer to season, burns fast and at a lower temperature. Be sure to have the flue inspected by a professional before you use it. He or she will give you a safety certificate and peace of mind. If you are not sure about spending a few euros on it, look up flue fire on here.

    I know things are expensive but that fireplace and whatever you do with it will become the focal point of the whole house so if it were at all possible to open it up and even have your aga partly in that space and not sticking out entirely it would be lovely. Slso with the tar / creoste and leak maybe its best to just do a big job now and you never have to redo it
