    The stone walls look lovely, lots of work getting the plaster off. The design on your pot reminds me of me of designs on some indigenous pottery l have, l like it. Worth keeping and repairing if possible.

      We’ll definitely keep it Cynthia as an heirloom of the early days at The Hidden House. 😊

    wow beautiful stonework under all that plaster, would be nice to have a feature of it somewhere; like the idea of knocking out the doorway to the extension could be a sort of feature doorway with an archway or similar?
    you'll be able to make many a clay pot for using around the place
    thanx for sharing

      We thought exactly the same. We want to leave a section of the stone exposed on the interior of the cottage. 😊

    I love the stone houses there! I hope when you repoint the stone you leave it exposed. The beauty should be shown and admired by all!

    You're just going to have to fill those cracks in the pot with gold Noel!
    I'm so happy for you that your inspector came and gave you the OK to get going on the work. The stone walls are looking good, they're going to be gorgeous! After Roy's last adventure when you were all there, I'm surprised to see him off-leash, did he promise not to get distracted and run off again? 😂

    Where is your better half? she missing all the fun! That stone wall is amazing, will you consider a stone wall feature, a nod to Irish crafts men of the past. Has Roy become more clingy since his very near escape of never being found? God bless you all, love your channel so glad you decided to carry on renovating and not pull it down.
