Looks a dry sturdy house, reminds me of own home/parents house. It’s got that Irish country farm house look. It’ll be a fine home 👍
This is why you are the most popular CZcamsr in Ireland by far because your content is usually so interesting Phil and the two things you mentioned you will be concentrating on the 1200 and the house sounds like there’s good videos ahead , you are lucky to not have to build a house and that’s going to be a nice family home for liv and yourself
Reading them brass tags started many an argument in our yard 😂
Taking us into your home was very nice of you. Almost 82k subscribers!
Well done Phil. Fair play.
A hard worker
Wishing ye both the very best of luck now ahead with all the plans 👍👍👍
Cracking video. A good project and good when it’s all done
Great video again Phil my Late Mother often baked a Christmas cake in those old tins. Great memories.
Phil looking forward to the videos on the house. Also cannot wait to see the 1200 going and ploughing. Take me back to when I drove a 1200 with a 5 furrow Dowdeswell reversible. Happy days 😊
I smiled when I saw the old typo cattle tags. When I was in Gurteen a guy called Jimmy used to come to the Glue pot for a few pints told us he never had a batch of cattle that he didn’t have to change a few tags for some reason.
So very interesting Phil, brings back memories of my own home on the farm..Enjoy ur holidays for now, it will sort itself out by degrees.
Great idea showing off the book, great video
Great video Phil some of that stuff is priceless I’m like you not a lover of the heat
That red press brought me back 40 years 😊
Im only in my early 40's but i remember those bronze cattle tags like it was only yesterday! Feel old now.
Hope you keep some of the old features of the house phil.
Great video Phil. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼
good luck you two
That's a great project will make a nice home
Well Done Philip Keep up the Good Work
Great video Phil….. my old home was similar to this too!! My folks just put on a kitchen/living room extension and it revamped the whole house with insulation too!! But in the old town I’m living in now we just installed slabbed the outer walls and it made a great difference in summer For coolness and warmth winter…… so I would recommend that!!!
From the outside your house is aesthetically pleasing, With a Good architect to hand this can be turned into a more liveable/ modern home,
I have seen some wonderful conversations lets hope yous is another one of those.
Gud Luck

The Best of luck with farmer Phil
Phil, insulating the walls won’t stop the house being cool in the summer, but more importantly it will keep the expensive heat in the house during winter pal👍😊
Leve the house the way it is great memories phil
@@MattConlon-zo1qy and freeze to death in a damp cold old house in the winter, genius 🤣🤣
@@SD43 If noone have frozen to death in 200 years, why would they now? isn't it global warming these days? Or is it just a scam?
yes that is true ...........we insulated the bedrooms with insulated plasterboard including the cealing .......u could use them as a cold store to hang meat in before that ........ difference is night and day ...!
@@MattConlon-zo1qysuch a stupid way of thinking about it. if you live in it it's yours to make memories not to love in other people's ideas.
It’s a fine house with a good design you will make o great job of it
Hello to the Farmer Phil Family
Just so you know We live in an old Stone House in South Wales & I agree with everything you said & we wouldn’t change it for the World
My father who is 91 has a barometer which he taps every morning, he calls it the "glass" which I think is a common enough name for it in Ulster. Occasionally he tells me what the glass says if weather is important for that week or day!
My aul boy is always tapping at his barometer every morning. ''Change is on the way,'' he shouts
Good Luck with the House
If your looking for ideas check out the County Council websites around the country. That config of house you have is fairly common and many have done what your about to endevor on. Best of luck with the journey.
The front of the house looks good . Nice stone walkway Garden plants? . New windows make sure the roof is ok . Get your bedroom fixed up . Redo the old kitchen, do some painting. Nice Wood burner or fireplace
What a house. Love it.
My mum used the mini sweeper. On our table to pick up crumbs.
That wee kitchen cupboard is crying out for marble or slate shelves to allow it to be used as intended - a chill larder.
Dont waste your money on the walls put plenty of wool in the attic
The walls if you do feel you need to do anything add to the outside so you dont loose tbe thermal mass that tbe walls are
Hemp insulation is ideal on the outside and a lime render
I sprayed isonene spray foam for years great stuff in the attic but id be hesitant in an old house because of humidity circulation
Yes insulate the house definitely because the heating will not stay in the house even the new windows are in you will lose another of precious heat in the winter good luck guys
Beautiful property 👌
Thank god Phil you don't like the heat . I'm not the only odd ball out
Solid and dry looking house
Going to be a lovely house when you get it renovated
Good luck with house
It's gas, my grandparents had the same red press😅
If you ever consider insulation, put it on the outside... the walls will warm up and stay warm. Insulation inside blocks the heat from the walls and they will get cold and damp which will not be noticed until it's too late to rectify..
Barometer should be on an outside wall to measure the air pressure outside to get a more accurate reading
Smiled when i saw the brass tags , they were phased out in 95 I think.. A nightmare when reading during TB testing
Your uncle Ian never got rid of anythinnk you can tell that by looking out side in the farm yard.
If frame out perimeter wall.use close cell spray foam way it works when cold creates heat when how creat cold cost.fortune if don't on oil
That stair case is crazy think im to wide to get up it
Have to put on a big extension to get the 3690 in😂
You could have a couple of good finds in that house
Good stuff
Hi guys we had in them old here my farm tried everything to save it but end knocked to ground as the cost in 2015 was too much I hate to to see the cost know best of luck
Seen them old tags used as cash clips. Old stock Cattle dealers mostly
Iv bein a blocklayer for 20 years. The most under rated room in the house is the utility room. A kitchen can be a very nice size. If everything you dont actually want in it. Is in a utility room. Plus more room. Free advice take or leave
Remove the 2ft interior walls and remodel within the existing exterior walls. Expand where needed.
I know you wouldn’t want to hear it but clearing it and starting fresh with new build would be the best in the long run. You’re hopefully going to be there for the rest off your life’s spend money that’s going to leave it comfortable for ye and when ye get older. Old walls floors roofs windows. You want to keep the history I know but keep stuff and reuse what you can from the old home as nice touches to its history even keep it the same style only little bit bigger and make you and your family’s new life and history there.
Love the video phil, i assume youll be well in your right to get the derelict grant would be a big help and gd luck if yous do! Get that Lee boy out😂 put him in the 1200
tbh not sure about derelict, there was almost always someone living in it I think. Maybe some grant for old buildings or something though
Thick solid walls have a high thermal mass but defo insulate them as you will be plagued with condensation issues and mold if u don’t. Plus better energy conservation if insulated, = lower heating cost.
Stone walls need to be able to breathe, lime plaster outside is the only job. Ideally a line plaster inside too depending on the budget.
Absolutely agree. Those walls are likely to be random rubble with lime mortar and originally woukd have had a lime plaster internally with possibly a white wash finish externally. You can be sympathetic to the existing structure but still complying with modern regulations in relation to u values and insulation.
@@FlyingFergyMan Agree 100% as an architect of 30 years there are many ways to upgrade the thermal efficiency but still retain the integrity of the existing walls. Solid masonry walls of this age are also notorious for raising dampness which will need to be assessed before any refurb. Good luck Phil with whatever u decide, still a great old house with great character.
Great video. Doing up the house will be a challenge from a design and financial perspective… maybe build on a completely separate modern part and do a light touch upgrade on the existing house to preserve it. Enjoy the holidays… I hope Father Phil will have the beet in the yard when you get home.
That kitchen cabinet is almost impossible to find now? Restored and sold in London it will fetch thousands.
You'd fit a fair amount of cattle into that gaff
So lovely to see your progress in your new home 🏠.We will watch after Sunday dinner 🥘.Thank you for sharing.Thank you Farmer Phil and liv .🎄🎄🎄🎄🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲☮️☮️☮️☮️🤩🫂🫂🫂🫂💟💟💟💟💟✝️✝️
Your correct about not insulating the wall's. But not for the reason you say. Stone walls like that cant be insulated. No matter what any1 says or any great thing they can sell to do it. They need to breath. Block any draughts and keep the house warm. Thats the price for a stone house keep it warm. Keep out all draughts.
When was the house dashed? I would suspect that it was sometime in the 50s as it was very fashionable to do it back then and it was not very expensive to do. I wonder what the walls were like before it was dashed maybe some old person could tell you or maybe you could find some old pictures, we stripped the walls of our place and we have a lovely old stone house now we even went to the bother and expence of stone faceing an extension we did but we don’t have any painting to do outside at all in fact bar clean the gutters every few years our exterior maintenance is nil.
I don’t know when it was dashed but we have pictures of it in a full wall of creeping plants which look amazing sometime in the 60s or 70s I believe
100percent dry line the walls of the house. As someone who lived/lives in a really old house with stone walls it will still be cool. But whenever you’re trying to heat it in the winter you’ll be kicking yourself for not doing it when your oil bill is through the roof. 😂
I find these old houses interesting, surely they need some work but I'm not sure a house put up now in 2023 would look so good like this in year 2223.
Just remember that the walls are that think because there was a trench dug a few inches deep and walls built on that. There's no foundations so if you want anything fancy you will have to underpin walls with concrete.
can you make a video from the castle
greets from the nederlands
Two key things I'd do is make the windows wider and dryline the house with insulated plasterboard. As people has said the stone walls will keep the heat out and the insulation will keep the cold out. Also the layout is the most important, utility and kitchen in any farm house is always most used so spend the money there..
Mould and black spot's is all that dry lining it will cause. 10 years later a house as cold as you started and unhealthy mold. Plus rotten dark spots appearing around windows and at the ceiling
Insulated ceiling slabs yes but dont dryline the inside you loose out on thermal mass and mould will grow behind it so do your homework it will pay off in the end
Think about it a had is nore important than a jacket
I wouldn’t insulate the walls, you need old stone walls to be able to breath so you don’t get problems with mould. New windows and updated heating and you’ll be grand.
That house is a fire hazard Phil , get that stuff out and into storage , good video great seeing to old stuff 👍🏻
I'm not sure you understand how insulation works...Best of luck with the house nonetheless
Phil why don’t you try to hook up with Roger Bisby of Skill Builder or Robin Clevett and they could advise you for joint content, they are both experts in this field 🤷♂️🤞👍
Well
Just wondering Phil how is the piggery coming along.
At a standstill waiting on the cousin to return
Is that yours liv house now
id move in as is , keep the decor etc the same , once its gone its gone very homely the way it stands
Yes mostly. I myself wouldn't like the stairs, looks narrow and not a fan of that wallpaper but the rest looks nice tbf
@@kieranosullivan02 it will be back in fashion soon enough
true I suppose
Nice one Phil
You need to get Dermot Bannen into the house.
Farmer phil on room to improve 😂
Phil I’ve refurbed a 200 plus year old house here myself.
You can insulate it and I would recommend you do.
Dig up the floors. Put down your radon barrier, 150 mm insulated slab and underfloor heating and liquid screed. This will keep the house lovely and warm in the winter and turn it off for the summer when weather gets warm.
Plaster the walls with a lime /hemp mix to get your insulation.
Pull down all the ceilings upstairs and do you’re air tightness on them plus around the windows.
Air tightness is one of the best things you can do and is important as insulation and doesn’t cost nearly as much.
Hope this helps and if you want any more info I’d be happy to help
So putting insulated plasterboard on old stone walls is a no no then ?
@@patrickkelly1055 it can be done but you need to build a stud wall out from the walls and put your slabs to it so the old walls can breath. The downside of doing that is you’re loosing space in the rooms which isn’t ideal in old farm houses as rooms aren’t overly big. Putting the slab to the wall isn’t ideal as the old walls built built with stone and lime mortar breath and will cause mould behind the slab if it can’t get out
@@patrickkelly1055 as @philiptyndall4968 said you can use insulated Plasterboard on a Lime Built Wall to insulate it, however if you follow the method of studding out the wall then you open yourself to a host of issues.
First issue, if you have any moisture in your existing Wall, then adding a wood studding system, to then attach your insulated plasterboard to will cause you alot of issues. First and more obvious, wood absorbs moisture. If you have moisture in the walls then the wood will simply wick up the moisture and create a damp environment which will then be trapped behind the insulation board. As the wood degrades and decomposes it is a perfect host for mold and fungus to grow on. To try to mitigate these issues, if you install a wooden stud system then you need to use a damproof membrane everywhere the wood is attached to the existing Lime wall to try to stop moisture from touching the bare wood. At floor level the wooden studs never then are touching the floor, you start to install the wooden studs c.50mm above floor level. Note you rarely ever have a perfectly level Lime built wall. Therefore if you install a stud system then the installer will need to custom fit every piece of wood to accommodate the undulations in the wall so that the insulated plasterboard has a flat surface to mount against. In essence the building of a wooden stud wall to accommodate the insulated plasterboard is alot of effort and not the best way to do the job. The wooden stud system will also take up alot of space in a room, making your room smaller.
So what is the best way to install Insulated Plasterboard to an existing Lime Built Wall? The answer is you do the following. First assess the dryness of the wall and condition of existing Lime Plaster. What is covering the Lime Plaster - is it Limewash or Modern Paint or Wall Paper. The best thing is to remove all the plaster back to a bare wall - allow the wall to breath. If you have alot of moisture - then remove the Plaster/Render and wait 2-3 months to allow the wall to start drying out. A Lime built Wall needs approx 1 month for each inch of thickness to dry out. So if you have a 12" (or 1 foot) thick wall then expect at least 12 months before it is completely dry. If you go ahead and attach insulated plasterboard direct to a wet wall then you are going to cause issues, no matter how you attach it. Just be patient and allow the visible dampness to dry before you start the following process to install.
Now you have a dry surface and have removed the existing plaster, you attach as follows. Note the first and most important rule you must always follow on ground floor walls in a Lime Built Building is to install the Insulated Plasterboard with a gap at the floor level of a minimum of 14mm. The process you use to attach the Insulated Plasterboard is a simple dot and dab method. Never apply any dot and dab touching the ground - start all dots and dabs 50mm from floor level. The technique of dot and dab will allow you to accommodate any imperfections and undulations in the wall to straighten it. Periodically you will screw the board directly into the wall to firm the fixing. The key is that the insulated plasterboard must never touch the floor at any point. The purpose of the min. 14mm gap is to allow any moisture that will naturally be wicked up by the Lime walls, the gap gives a way for this moisture to escape the wall into the room and dry. If you seal the bottom of an insulated plasterboard against a Lime built wall, then the moisture that the wall wicks up will have nowhere to go - it will continue to spread looking for a way out - hence you get rising damp and penetrating damp.
When you have installed the Insulated Plasterboard and then decorate the wall, normally a baseboard is installed around the room. This must not be sealed with calk or silicon - you must have gaps allowing for the moisture to escape into the room.
The simple rule with Old Lime built houses that now suffer from damp issues is to check and remedy the following -
- 1 check the source of the moisture (usually gutters or drains not working properly).
- 2 Check the level of the interior floor compared to the level of the soil/ground outside the room. Anytime the exterior ground level is above the interior ground level, you get damp. Often over the years people regrade the ground level around a house to add plants. The new higher soil level is causing the dampness. Remove the soil (above the interior floor level) and the building starts to dry out. In instances where you have lying ground water against the outside of a building, you need to then install a French Drain, to be placed 200mm below the lowest interior floor level around the perimeter of the outside of the building in order to keep the building dry. Only backfill a French drain with gravel - never cover with soil.
- 3 You must never ever use Cement or Gypsum based Plaster - both products trap moisture. Lime built walls naturally wick up moisture in wetter months and release this moisture/dry out in drier months. If you have put cement or Gypsum over a Lime built wall, you have caused the dampness as there is no way for the moisture to escape to allow the walsls to dry out. Simply remove all Cement and Gypsum Plaster and the wall will dry out over a few months.
- 4 Strip off modern paints and wallpapers to allow the interior Lime Plastered walls to breath and dry out. You can make a Limewash paint from CL90 Lime Powder to then Limewash the walls and tint to any colour you want. Dont try to make a Limewash from an NHL - you will end up with a transparent water solution that will need 8-10 coats. The real Limewash is made with CL90 and needs only one coat - there is no comparison in the two different Limewashes. Use of NHL should be avoided - it is expensive and the best NHL 2.0 only has a freelime content of max 40% (NHL 3.5 and 5.0 have less Freelime content) CL 90 in the otherhand is 90% Lime (what was originally used to build these structures).
- 5 Never ever use injection damp DPC Systems. They are a scam and never ever work. You will severely damage a wall drilling it and injecting that stuff.
Great info thanks
@@patrickkelly1055 welcome. If you want to learn more about Traditional Lime Mixes (with step by step how to guides on Lime Mortar, Lime Render, Lime Plaster ad Limewash), search Nigel Copsey. There are several videos people have put up of him when he gives indepth explanation of how to make Traditional Lime. Nigel works with UK Heritage on restoring many of their most protected Buildings across the UK.
If you want to learn more about Damp, its causes and how to fix in old buildings then search P eter Ward. He will show in many videos old Lime built and Timer built Houses - how modern products (Cement, Gypsum Plaster and Silicon) have caused Dampness and how to fix the issues.. He also shows ground level and how it affects dampness in a buildings. His older videos are best to watch, not the latest stuff.
Good luck in your renovation.
👌
Is that your new house phil
it's on the farm but he's hoping to live there sometime yes
👍
What’s story with the oul 106
Saxo actually
One way too see how old the house is by carbon dating thw wood from the roof timbers. Looking forward too seeing the full restoration
what would that cost ??
Phil why don't you get a shipping container and put all the stuff into it so you can get on with the refurbishment of the house
We have a 24ft container and we’re moving and packing into it
They drip condensation in cold weather from the roof.
would ye ever live in the house as is until ye know what to do and what's wanted? Maybe that would be harder moving in and out and in. I wonder how it would've worked if uncle ian hadn't passed away too, he could chime in on plans 😂
We debated moving in but we reckon it would make it harder to do as we’d constantly have to move stuff or reorganise as we done bits

Need to hire architect in and make changes old houses too dark cant live in past needs underfloor heating extension big kitchen
Any baby 👶 on way don't want to wait too long as like a bad cow you might need show her gate
🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍
Built 200 year plus years ago, so that would be before 1823, prior to the famine! Are you sure Phil? That doesn't sound right at all.......
That’s what I was told. No doubt it looked different 200 years ago probably a 2 room single story house. It’s recorded on a list of houses in the town land that donated money to the cathedral in town in the mid 1800s. The roof supposedly is built with round logs not sawn timber but we’ll find out when we start repairs on the roof if it’s actually. And the castle was destroyed by Cromwell in 1621 if I remember correctly and most likely built from its stones. The oldest thing we’ve found so far is a book from 1864 but hopefully when we start construction work we’ll find more clues to its age. But in the end I’m only saying what I’ve been told
@@FARMERPHIL3690 that makes more sense. There could have been another house on that site 200 plus years ago but highly doubtful it's the house that's sitting there now. Anyway, that's a fine house Phil, yourself & Liv could make a really fine fine job out of it. I did the same myself recently with a house my grandfather built 100 years ago, very similar to your house.
@@Tck3403how did your house go
@@kieranosullivan02 came out well, alot of work but it's worth it. Did a BER test & got a B2, not bad for a 100 year old house!
Videos need to be longer than 15 minutes
I saw this before with @colethecornstar
