Trusses Arrive For The Stone House!

- Hi, 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, we have a CZcams family visit and the trusses arrive!

Sam becs just spend w/e away forgot tea bags disastrous then found Yorkshire tea oh my word what absolutely beautiful cuppa 500 tea bags brought when we got ome thanks Sam. From taffy land 😊
@user-bw5xm4xl8c brilliant! Glad you enjoyed a proper brew!
I’m Tommy form the video I had a great time today
Hello Tommy! 👋
You're so cute, I could adopt you here in France! Enjoy your life Tommy! x
Ey up Tommy lad!
Hello from America, Tommy! 👋
Hi Tommy, you're a star!
from New England, US
Toby looks soooo happy with all his family (humans and animals)
I think he is happy. 🤞🍀
Rebecca, your dog is so good at keeping tabs on all the other animals! Knows his job! ❤
She does. Looks after everyone really well. ♥️
Dogs beter than people ❤
Hard to say who is the bounciest, happiest soul between Toby with the zoomies and Sam seeing his trusses arriving ahaha. Things are really moving now :)
Yes it's a close call! 🤣
I love how the animals all get along. A lot of dogs wouldn’t be so nice to cats. I’m pretty sure you have something special about you because those animals are amazing. Great job Sam.
All animals respond well to kindness and compassion, traits that Bex definitely has been blessed with, and Sam has too!
Thanks. We are so grateful that they all get along. It makes fostering much easier and more enjoyable. ♥️
Typical collie!
💯I was sold Once I saw them with all the Animals 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Love the way your Dog looks after all the animals etc 😃
Thank you! 😊
Seeing Toby have the zoomies is SO special, especially all the tears and worries and work you guys put into getting him there ❤ I love donkeys and it’s so nice to see him doing so well
Thanks Aisling. Toby has come along beautifullly. He's all glossy like a prince these days! 🤣
@@theirishhomestead- and it looks like his hooves aren’t feeling sore! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
Real people living a real life. You’re living my dream.
♥️👍 thanks so much.
@@theirishhomestead Loved the honest exchanges about touring you and "Touring with the Kids" gave. It could have been so trite and schmaltzy but you nailed it. Great editing giving Tommy his spot in the limelight. You are good at this - don't let anyone say otherwise.
Clearly observed by others, what a transformation with Toby, such a happy fellow since he moved in with you Bec. Well done.
Yes he's really transformed now. A friend is coming very soon 🤞🫏🫏
What a sheet dog, chickens, donkey, cats, rabbits, guinny pigs and people.😊😂
She keeps us all in check 🤣
That was such a sweet sweet introduction 🥰. What a bright minder you have in that wee pup. Tending to all his charges. And look at all you’ve accomplished. Brilliant work. Really proud for you all. 🇨🇦👋🥰👵🐕👏👏
Thanks, Sandra. It's really kind of you. I'm glad you enjoyed the intro. I enjoyed filming it. ♥️
You'll look back on the simple life of how your living today and enjoy the memories of the pets.
Yes all amazing memories being made. ♥️
Nell is BRILLIANT!! Toby is so much happier now, bless you!!
We agree! Thanks v
I get a kick out of Sam. So giddy like a child about the roof parts arriving. Rebecca your such a sweet soul. You give me such inspiration to be kinder to all those around me.
Oh thank you! Yes Sam was really happy to see the trusses arrive! 🤣
Loving Toby's Zoomies he looks so much happier than when we first saw him❤
Yes he really does!
Hello Sam and Rebecca. What a lovely dog you got. He is so understanding to what you say. 😊
Thanks. Nell is a little sweetheart.
If we stopped for rain in The British Isles …. NOTHING would get done. Your journey is so exciting, thank you very much for sharing it with us all.
So true! 🤣☔️
That dog is amazing ❤
I LOVE THAT DOG❣️❣️ need lots more videos of that wonderful big hearted dog who takes care of all the baby animals and Toby❣️ you are so blessed to have that dog❤️
Thanks. Nell is a star. She keeps all the animals safe and in check. 🤣♥️
Another great vlog! It's brilliant seeing how happy Toby is. How cute is Tommy ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Love Wednesday’s more than ever now. Rebecca, you’re a good lass with a golden heart. ♥️🌺
Sam, you’re a machine🌿💚
Thankyou, a spot of roofing this week
Rebecca, I love the way you start the videos with the animals! That pooch is sooo smart! Anyway, it's a relief to see the trusses arrive so you can get in out of the rain and have drier conditions to work in. Hopefully the roof goes on without a hitch. Waving hello to little Tommy! Take care, folks. :)
Thanks. Glad you enjoy the intros. I love doing those. Makes a change from timelapses! 😉🤣
Hi to Tommy the new CZcams star! Your visitors created quite a home for themselves. It’s amazing what you can do with a truck. I wish I was younger again, I would do things differently and maybe travel the world without all of the trappings of a job and big house.
I love your rescue of Toby I think he’ll bring you good luck. No good deed is ever a waste
👍
Great video Sam and Rebecca, lovely seeing Toby running around and all the other animals. Little Tommy's face at the end being on CZcams. Take care everyone ❤
😊 thank you
Loved the stars of the show, Tommy and his brother😂. Wow, a roof on the cottage soon..Brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
you are a pair of grafters and that family that came visiting looked like he was your brother Saml, and your dog looks after the farm animals
loved your last blog and look forward to the future blogs
Lol so many have said that! I just don't see it! Definitely exciting times ahead.
Great to see you taking some downtime.
Delighted that trusses have arrived - complete with future Man United player. 😊
Absolutely! He stole the show! 🤣
Oh yeah, and I cannot wait to find a man like Sam. Gives new meaning to "handyman!!"
Just found your channel and absolutely love it! 🥰 It is so very refreshing to see a hard-working family build the life of their dreams and remain happy doing it! I also really appreciate that you're animal lovers, too. Hi Toby! 🤗❤
Thank you that's really kind. 💞
You have the sweetest collie dog EVER ❤
Nell is an absolute sweetheart, such a good doggie minding you all. Roof trusses, yay!
Thanks. She really is. ♥️
Omg even I’m excited about roof trusses 😂
Me too, I’ve surprised myself by how excited I am 😂😂
It's a big moment! 👍
They look like brothers. 🎉
In the Irish Isles we never stop, nose to the grind stone upwards and onwards. Eire go bragh ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘
👍💪🍀🇮🇪
Great to see more of Nell, she’s fabulous🐾 I saw you sent Tommy off with some of your eggs - how lovely 😊
Nice fresh eggs
Toby seems so happy with his new family and animal friends 😊 You should feel very tall having done so much work on the property Sam and Rebecca. It's looking clean and cared for.❤❤
I too think you are both amazing, hardworking, focused and full of heart, with your love of animals. Plus, I love the music you have playing in the background of your videos. Well chosen. Really fits the sense of your love for this place and the way you are applying yourselves to your vision.
Lovely to see your friend s arriving, so excited re the new trusses. It’s all coming together. Nell is such a good minder for all the animals. Tommy is so so cute full of chat
Thanks. Yes it was nice to see them. Over a year it has been since we saw them last. Tommy bless him! He was so excited to be on CZcams! 🤣
Awww grand you saw your friends great drainage almost done and who’s roof trusses are now with you wonderful tc all till next vlog I intend to watch till the very end love to you all animals to the oldis 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
It was great to have company. More to come as we have friends coming to camp for a week from tonight. Let's hope the weather improves!
I love seeing the black and white dog sitting with all the various animals. It’s so cute. Toby looks happy running around.
What a great video! Loved the beginning! I watched the beginning twice. Toby's zoomies! He looks so happy! Tommy is adorable!
I was gutted as I missed a lit of Toby's zoomieshe was galloping around the house! Never a camera around when you need one! 🤣
Awe my goodness the 🐕 dog x the animals ❤
Hi Tommy! Hello from Belgium 🙂
Fantastic! the roof is going to be absolutely stunning.
Hope so!
Hi Tommy! How fun to ride along with dad on his jobs and play with farm animals. From Whidbey Island in Washington state, USA.
That's one clever and kind doggo. 😍
Looking forward to seeing the trusses in place and the roof on so you guys carry on working when it's raining ,thing's are a lot easier in the dry👍
Yep I'll be glad when its abit dryer, the main roof is yet to be done before the year is out
Yet another step forward for the intrepid team.. Start with the drains because that's where the trouble would be and you nailed it to the plans. The roof trusses look great but cover them up as quickly as you can . be safe and crack on
Thanks. Hopefully they will be on by Saturday all being well. 🤞🍀
Lovely to see those boys hamming it up for utube, hi Tommy x
All kinds of cute today! 👍👍
As a retired guy I find myself watching a lot of youtube you guys are my joint no1 for Wednesday/ weekend go to o joint with West Cork Wander😊
Brilliant! Thank you. We love those guy's too.
So exciting!! THE ROOF!
Lovely relaxing watch as always
Glad you enjoyed it
Toby loving life, and a BIG shout out to Tommy
👍
That a great dog. Your place is coming along great.
Thanks 👍
Good evening Bec’s and beautiful 😍 family. Not talking anything away from the fantastic job you’re doing on your forever home 🏡 Toby is becoming a real caricature and is looking really well 😊 Hopefully soon he’ll have a friend 😂 Lovely seeing that family call in it must of been a real break for you all from doing building work 👍🏻 Roof trusses already guys 😮 The next episode will be amazing seeing those go up 👍🏻 Tom was a real cool guy but shame about his T shirt 😞 Take care love Stevie xx
Thanks Stevie. Was so good to have company and yes the trusses arriving is epic. Hopefully more friends coming to stay this week to help get the trusses on! Toby is doing great now. Think he is finally healed enough to get a friend. 😉
Maybe frame out now for the roof windows and slate over. Will make it easier down the road when the budget allows you to add the velux's. windows
I think that may be the plan. 👍
Toby seems quite happy, respect. good job ! 👍🏻🤠
Thanks Longjohn. 👍
I really really enjoy your video's... always good to watch... Thank you ♥
I'm so glad! Thanks.
When you were talking -7 weather I thought it cute lol. I live in northern BC Canada and we can get to -50 but when you've never experienced it -7 can be very cold too. :) You have great views of the Ireland around you and once your flower garden is done you can sit out there with your beverage of choice and enjoy the views.Your workers and visitors are awesome. :) :)
Folks from Ireland and the UK must really suffer when they visit us, they have such a mild climate there.
I cannot wait to sit in the sun with a glass of champagne and toast the house. Will we ever get there?! 🍀
Sam, your visitor could be your twin.
🤣
Woohoo… I’m rooting for you Sam and Becks…The trusses are with you at last. I’ve been fretting all week, hoping they arrive asap. Now we’re getting into Sam’s trade skill’s territory. This is gonna be good, but if I may I wanna give some old man fatherly advice to Sam. Don’t forget Sam, this is not a new build, this is a very old stone homestead, not everything is perfectly level or straight. Sometimes you gotta let aesthetics guide you rather than you try and do the impossible and try to build everything dead straight and level. I wish you the best of luck with your roof Sam. Ohhh btw….dont be making Becky do the Ridge Line check, that’s what your string lines are for 😂. Good luck the both of ya..Dave 🤓
Thanks it was so good to see them arrive. Yes Sam is very particular about straight lines! Hopefully he will be happy with the final finish...although it will drive him mad getting there! 😉
@@theirishhomestead 🤣🤣. Please tell him that I’ve had OCD all my life, so I honestly get and understand his obsessions with flat, straight lines. I’d noticed it in him earlier, hence me wanting to give him some old man, fatherly advice. The way that I deal with it is to laugh at myself, with my obsessive compulsive disorders. Then to deliberately do something totally opposite to what my OCD is nagging at me to do. Food tin labels, all needing to be stacked and facing the same way…. So I deliberately stack them with the back of the can labels facing forward…. Then tell myself, quit moaning Dave…deal with it 😆. It really does work…..for me at least…. Love you guys, speak with you all later… Dave 😆
Bless Toby he's settling down and enjoying life now . Tommy was cute . And always good to catch up with friends ... now more work... trusses will give U a glimpse into being inside living there .
Yes it will feel momentous having the roof on the barn. 👍
Lov e what you're doing. The music and narration are excellent as is the work you are doing. It is so very important to preserve and protect these heritage properties. We learn so much from them with our fi dings of not only building but of life. God Bless you and yours. P.S. Please ask Sam to wear a lift belt, safety glasses, hard hat and gloves at all times. TAKE NO CHANCES, it's not worth it.
Thank you. So sd you enjoy the videos and yes I will keep on at Sam re the PPE! 👍
It really is coming on nicely mate keep up the great work that you and Rebecca are doing see you on the next update
Thanks. We will try. Fortunately got more help coming. 👍💪💪

On CZcams can it get any better
The Irish homestead and touring with the kids
Fantastic top marks ☘️🇮🇪
Thanks
You struck gold when you got that little dog he is just amazing. So good to see the roof getting ready to go
Thanks 👍 hes a she called Nell. Yes shes a little star and looks after all the animals. ♥️
@@theirishhomestead I won't forget that now
putting in drainage is such a lot of work and you did it proper wrapping the pipe and all. So worth it. Love the opening montage what an intelligent and loving dog.
Thanks. I hope I got it right. So important here to get the drainage done correctly. 👍
Seeing Toby's happy prancing was delightful, you have worked wonders with him, well done all!
Nell is a great shepherd, even if her flock is chickens! Brilliant how you have taught her to go to her different charges by name!
Thanks for the lovely video, and thanks for the introductions, especially Tommy!
Thank you! He is seeming to love life right now. Making the 1st year video the other day reminded me of how lonely he was. He always came running over whenever we called him. Now, he never gets any peace! 🤣
FABULOUS ✅✅✅✅
You are such hard grafters! 👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been watching from the beginning, and look forward to your vids.
Cheers!
Carol from Canada ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Carol. ♥️
I’m going mention this quick so I don’t forget, Toby was being herded like a sheep by your wonderful collie in the beginning. Actually all of them from what I could see, being the protector of his ‘herd’
Yes Nell is a little guardian of all our animals. Bless her she does a grand job. ♥️
Wow it’s really coming along. Have to admit i was feeling rather emotional seeing those trusses. That old barn is coming alive in a grand and beautiful way. Such a feel good video, thank you.
Aww thanks. So glad you enjoyed the video. Yes it's a big moment those arriving. Will be wonderful to see a proper roof on the old barn. I'd say it's been 50 years at least since it had a decent roof on!
love your content always happy when a new volg hits my stream
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks.
Loved Toby's zoombie's and your dog running to Toby, then the chicken and rabbits how sweet is that. Toby is very happy now and all the animals look so content, thanks to you, Sam and the children such kind people. Sam is so excited about the roof trusses arriving, I just love it and Bec when you showed the barn what it looked like and seeing it now getting ready for the trusses just blows me away, with all the beautiful pointing and Sam lintels and ring beams it has a whole different look. You both work so hard and it is all coming together. Thank you for sharing your journey I get so happy when I see another video is ready for us. Have a lovely day, Bec, Sam, Children and all the farm animals.
Thank you for the lovely message. Sam is definitely very happy to see those trusses arrive! Weneed to get that roof on so we can get the floors down ASAP, then if course rebuild the chimney! I think once those things are done it's smooth sailing. 👍
You are already living the dream. Your animals are all so precious and you are absolutely giving your children the best life with the best roll models possible. Many blessings and so much love sent your way. 🥰
You are so kind. Thanks
Yeah Toby looks happy as Larry ❤
Nell is adorable with all the animals 😍🥰
And you can tell Toby is soo much happier now ☺️
Bless him! A whole paddock to eleun in and he just goes up and down the thinnest strip! He was running around the house before that but I didn't get my camera in time! 🤣
@theirishhomestead hahaha aww, so sweet! 🥹
So excited for you to get the roof on
Exciting times 😊
Nell’s antics at the beginning with all the animals was great to see. She really is a fabulous wee dog🥰
She really is. We are lucky to have her here.
well done ,very hard but satisfying work .....
👍♥️
I enjoyed Tommy's turn in the spotlight and I hope he did, too! I also would choose to toss a ball to the sweetest dog ever, no regrets 😊
You are so kind. I think he was super chuffed!
Thanks for introducing Tommy.
Tommy is a handsome young man and very nice.
I love the way the dog knows all the creatures on the homestead.
Your editing is wonderful.😊
You are so kind thank you.
Doing amazing,inspiring
Ohhh very exciting guys..😊 I look forward to next video. Toby awww bless he looks so well and happy. As all of the animals. Little Tommy, he's got some throw with that ball...
Thanks so much! 😊 Yes Tommy had a new best friend...Nell! 🤣

@TommyHamill-h9x Hey there 👋
Important things getting buttoned up that. So many anbimals. Wow. So cute. Ah Tommy. He is a charmer. :)
Great stuff 👍👍👍👍👍
It was fun with the little boy wanting to be on U Tube.
Looking good guys.
That Tom kid is awesome. That turn and wink.
Love that young photo bomber 😂 What fun to host friends at your farm!
Sam, when you were putting the stone down over the pipe you looked like you were practicing an Irish dance. Sorry I couldn't resist. That was a lot of hard work, so we'll done you.
Roof trusses, I can't wait to see them go up, remember play it safe.
Ha yes he did! The irush jig! 🤣
I can not believe how hard you both worked, well done guys.
So satisfying to see in fast time what you achieve in a day…lovely to see these properties come “alive” again with love & commitment…wishing you all a wonderful day from Aus! 👩🌾🌸
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
Yay, now I can binge watch this amazing hard working 💪 family ❤
Toby is feeling better!..trimmed feet and healed from the snip snip.
Yes he is starting to be himself again. Took ages, I was getting worried . X
