  • Exposing the 200 year old stone walls - cottage restoration project gets VERY REAL!
    In this weeks video our 200 year old cottage renovation project really gets underway as we strip back the plaster board to reveal the 200 year old stone walls.
    How much damage lies beneath? Turns out its A LOT! We take a look at the ancient chimney, the old lime pointing as well as discover centuries of hidden history!
    We knew restoring an old abandoned cottage in remote Ireland was going to be a challenge, but this is just the start! Follow along to see just how bad the damp issues become, how we attempt to rectify them all while keeping this traditional old cottage as original as we can.
    As always, thanks so much for watching.

    Hopefully you are enjoying this European travel series as much as we are and we are managing to show you just some of the stunning landscapes that France has to offer in this French travel vlog.
    As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, some cinematic scenery mixed with our usual female van life foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!
    Follow us on our journey as we attempt to restore an old cottage in Ireland whilst living off grid in our self built campervan. Can two female former van lifers really restore a whole house?!

      David Attenborough is trying to encourage gardeners to leave their lawns until mid July, because of the bee's & insects, as well as the birds & other wildlife like rabbits & hedgehogs. Nice to see others are more concerned about the wildlife & helping them🥰🥰

We adopted a sweet girl when we both were in our 50s. She is 7 now. We are renovating our house and we grow vegetables and flowers. My wife is an art teacher and I get to be a stay at home mom after 30 years as a Nurse! Nice to meet you both...can't wait to watch you renovate!

    My house was built in 1907. I think it was built by a group of drunks who thought they had nothing better to do. There isn't a straight line anywhere in the house. I have 5 different eras of wiring in the living room alone! Lord!
    The white suit makes Emily look like an oompa loopa!

    I have only recently discovered this channel. The camera can lie but I believe I would go a long way to see a more happily married couple. Together you are a real hoot!
    Emily, demolition in a restricted space is usually a one person operation to avoid dropping something large on a co-worker’s head. I expect you will be much in demand as a builder’s mate. Jobs go so much faster if there is a second person to “hold the other end”, to “fetch/prepare and hand up” and to “work from both ends to meet in the middle”.

    Hi girls ..im an irish trucker thats been following you for a long time can i give u a bit of advice..on ur last video u were attempting to reverse the van up to ur dutch barn .
    What u were doing is known in the trucking world as a blind side reverse...meaning u really couldn't see were the arse of the van was heading because ur sitting on the right hand side of the van .
    What u need to do is known as a good side reverse..so basically drive down the lane with the drivers side on the side u want the arse of the van to go into then when ur cutting in to the opening u can either stick ur head out the window or use ur drivers mirror to see were u want to be going.
    Emily can stand at the passenger side front so she can see the rear corner on the passenger side and also keep an eye on the front doesn't rub the wall facing ur gate when ur cutting in . The more hedges and keek you can cut away from the opening at the gate will make life easier and also clear that ditch a bit thats facing ur gate so uv more room for the nose of the van to swing round .
    Love u girls ..bye 🎉

    • @geoffcampbell7846
      @geoffcampbell7846 Před 16 dny +2

      Maybe easier to make a turnaround space at the top of the drive, make adjustments to the available width at the entrance by moveing the gate back up the drive to take in the van off the road, and go in forwards. That way you'll save a lot of faffing about, the clutch a bit of wear, plus, you can beat the tractor. 🤔

  • @OneChibi
    @OneChibi Před dnem

    For what it's worth, I like the new reno videos better than the van life stuff. I started watching a bunch of van lifers' pre-COVID videos during the lockdown because it was nice to remember there was a whole world out there still. I started to get a little tired of van life content, but kept watching those creators I liked as people -- their personalities and whatnot -- because I just like seeing what you lot are up to. This type of content is great, I like learning about these sorts of practical matters.
    I think the property is really amazing and the cottage is just so cool. The old building materials and methods you're having to work with, all that stuff is really fascinating. Even if you lose some van life folks, you'll get some renovation video folks to fill the gap. Don't know if you've heard of Martijn Doolard, but if not you should check out his videos. He's doing old Alpine stone cottages, so it won't be 1-to-1, but he may have some ideas or techniques that you find useful in your efforts. Great editing, music, photography, etc, as always. You're at the top of your craft, Louise!

    I think Louise is my unknown twin - DIY, photography, camping, all the same keenest interests. Only difference is she's way more advanced at all of them. 💪 Emily should know that even when she isn't hands-on with the obvious renovation tasks, she's equally contributing with all the essential support activity. One can't happen without the other. My housemate is like that, not so comfortable with the building tools but instead does most of the household chores and gardening, everything I'm not so good at and rather not do, and steps up for two person jobs. Even without all that, having a lovely companion to have a laugh, talk through tasks, bounce thoughts off, keep your motivation up - absolutely priceless. ♥️

    We dry lined our house in France. The old walls breath.
    The stud work being put vertically.
    By using glass fibre batts with the membrane casing outwards, and leaving a small gap at the bottom and top allows air to flow.
    Sika tanking is the only way to "seal " from rising damp, even then the floor will still be damp. To check the floor for damp. Take a glass jar put it upside down on the floor and seal it to the floor with putty or plastercine. If you see condensation the next day then you know the floor could be an issue.
    It took us many years to finish ours ( now sold ) but lovely memories.

    Congratulations Emily and Louise on the purchase of your new home in Ireland!
    Based on my 35 years of experience in the health and safety industry as an Industrial Hygienist, Safety Engineer, Project Manager and Environmental Health Specialist, I have a few health recommendations.
    When using N95s, it’s always best to have the straps underneath the hoody of coveralls and caps or hats, one can get a tighter fit on the face seal.
    I would recommend using a spray bottle to mist the air while doing any drilling, cutting, chipping,
    hammering etc. That will knock down any airborne dust and fibers out of the air immediately.
    Great idea that you all are wearing safety glasses, well done!
    I have seen several of your traveling videos, you all do a great job!
    Take care and best always from San Diego, California, USA!

    My god Louise I take my hat off to you, is there no end to your talent and knowledge? Emily, your job is just as important, the fetching and carrying saves so much time and there’s nothing better than coming back to a hot meal when you feel broken at the end of a physically hard day. Remember ‘Teamwork makes the dream work’ 😁
    Girls my friend and I hope to do the same thing (though not as adventurous or brave in the building work) once our commitments change. We sadly have a 4-5yr wait but prepping all the time, I’m half way through converting her van then onto mine. Once we are free of the ties we’ll be doing the same reckie for a property to do up, work, live and eventually retire in.
    Your vlogs boost my confidence and inspire me to break free from the shackles of ‘yeah but you can’t do that’ which I grew up in. At the ripe old age of 54 it’s liberating for me to prove my family wrong and do it anyway!
    Well done girls, and thanks for taking the time to let us see how you turn your new property into your home!

    The renovations are already turning out to be brilliant, seeing you uncovering previous people's lives. Funny to think you're undoing all their hard work, ready to add your own improvements to the house. It was particularly fascinating learning about the salt/tobacco shelf. But the best bit so far - Emily's utterly hilarious marshmallow hazmat suit. Can we have a hazmat suit dance next week? 🤣 🤣

    Afternoon ladies. Another lovely video. Brings back memories of when I was in the navy living in towns and on ships. For me to move to the country in Tipperary is heaven. Like Emily driving down a country lane to get home. Ask the locals about a digger driver. Keep up the great work on the videos and home 👍.

    Your renovation is pretty extensive but the two of you lovely ladies are very capable and doing this renovation you're actually kind of a historic explorer finding little bits and bobs of yesteryear. You're doing a great job and don't let the busy body people in the comments bother you because you are there and see and know exactly what you want and need! They only see bits a pieces and make comments about things they don't truly know. God Bless you both and stay safe! Love and respect from Tennessee

    Hi Louise. I admire your planning and progress. Good job! I haven’t seen a wheelbarrow but I’ve a tip; if you have one bring it into the room and use it, fill it as you remove debris off the next wall. Saving you moving stuff twice! Very entertaining so far and will be very happy seeing how you both go. It’s such a good set up, with your van there under cover, you’ll have a wonderful summer.

    I was always scared of spiders but when I purchased an old house (solo) I had to overcome those fears because I had no one else to deal with it. I still don't like them but no longer have to leave the room and can dispatch it if necessary. Good on ya Emily for getting suited up and stuck in!

    I love watching you both on Sunday. You balance out my favorite boy couple "Tyler and Todd" who are tackling building deep in the Woods of Canada, and power through what feels like an endless set of challenges, with great humor. I think you'd get a kick out of them. Anyway as a project junkie, reuse repurpose, dyi queen I am enjoyining your show very much. I would highly recommend you read a book, outloud, to each other for 1/2 hour daily. The name of the book is called "Paddy's Lament". You need to know about the history of your "new" "old" home. This book will blow your mind, and give you a deeper and more meaningful understanding of your home, land, and neighbors. I am not saying it's an easy fun read, it's not. But it is important. I am 3rd generation Irish American. In the meantime sage the house, play it some Irish tunes, breathe deep, and no more cussing, unless you want to raise the ghosts! 😅 ❤ Aloha

As a couple that has done a complete house renovation then built a house then built a restaurant and 2 flats above and finally just finishing the wood cladding and the terrace on our new wooden house, which is our last building project, we're both in our early 60s and it's time to stop building 😂. I just know you two have got what it takes ❤

    Love watching your videos. I’ve just bought a reno cottage in Cornwall on my own, after living in my van for just over 3 years. It’s Made of stone, lime plastering with Radon level checks required so it’s great seeing you go through this too. I feel motivated watching you do this adventure too. And love seeing the hints and tips! xx
