You guys work well together you’re lucky thanks for your videos😊

But thats the wrong shovel! Dont worry about the armchair experts. :P

I found your channel due to the 1yr video, loving it and plan to go back and watch all the other videos. Good Luck

In lieu of a french drain you could line the trench with geo-textile and fill it with inch-sized pebbles.

Guys I’ve been binge watching for two weeks and i just want to say you are ace I’m 45 and would love to be brave enough to do what you have done, your a super woman dawn and such a nice guy ben, i love the history stuff with the stones, keep showing us

I'm impressed with you two! Not only the incredibly hard work you do, and your stick-to-it-tiveness but your ability to figure out what you don't know how to do. It comes out sturdy, safe, appropriate and looking so good - and that cannot be easy. And you are still talking to each other!!!!! Way to go!

You both work so hard! Great progress 👏

I am watching this On Oct. 18, 2024. Trying to binge watch to catch up to current videos. Happy Birthday Dawn. It is such a pleasure watching you & Ben, your positive, often humorous outlooks. Don't stop chatting 😀 I love the banter.

❤❤❤

Dawn, you’re wonderfully meticulous with that stonework, it’s great to see how stable and beautiful it is once you point it. Also great work exposing the stone foundation of the house

Another fabulous video and Dawn really does have the patience of a saint, how does she keep so motivated?! Incredible determination. I was thinking you were digging a flower bed to begin with 😂

I do wish I'd watched this video at the time, a I could have given you some more useful & timely advice. My late Aunt was from North Dakota, so was familiar with how to keep cold out, & Irish conditions. When she & by late Uncle moved back to Ireland in retirement, they put batons on the reveals of the windows, & put the secondary insulation there, as if you just put it at the inner frame level, you are just backing up something you can fix with some putty, instead of back stopping the leaking around the entire frame, which is the big issue !

I like the pink too!

I have just found your channel and watched every one of your videos. You two are doing a fantastic job . The wall is looking great dawn . Ben, i like the wood storage.

Don’t you love the beautiful pink door. Love what you do and love your values. Many thanks

I’m loving this Christmas Video! A lovely Birthday gift for your daughter as well! 🎂❤ Your tree is Georgous!! All the special effects, from the music to the lighted lamps, special ornaments are so wonderful…not forgetting your Christmas “Sam-ta” 🎅😂🥰🎁☃️🌟🎄

😊😊😊😊

Outstanding work on the wall, removing that ivy wood like a real surgeon! It is truly amazing how much soil has been accumulating next to the house foundation. I wonder, when it was built, was the foundation visible? Thanks again for the episode!

Looks interesting but hard to follow, this would be great if episodes were numbered in order.

You need an Oregon blade. It Wil mulch alot of that brush into little bitty pieces.

It is actually very normal, that corners are a bit colder than the rest of the wall. Thats because you of the geometry - the outside surface of the wall is bigger than the inside surface - you loose more energy there. Sorry, my english isn´t very good, so I hope, that makes sence :)

You two are adorable together!

Always amazes me at how much foundational work needs to be done when building or rebuilding. Getting rid of the damp is so important, good and hard at it, work Ben. The pair of you have such enjoyable and gentle voices, its easy to enjoy your videos. Your composition and editing of your videos is getting better and better. I still dont understand why they traditionally didnt have big eaves to keep the rain from the walls. Its a participary and satisfactory activity watching Dawn rebuiding the stone walls, and hacking down the ivy, believe it or not. You are in stride now with your own system. " Its raining a little bit, " while drinking tea on the scaffold, great moments of living your dream. Lovely drone shots, looks like you have a lot of places to take wonderful walks to.

That passage was lovely ❤

It is amazing to see how fat reaching that ivy was and how much damage it did.😊

What a milestone! Well done😊

I’m not sure if you know about or applied for a building grant for derelict houses from the Irish Government. If not, check out/contact the RUclips channel “ The Irish Homestead.”. They talked about it in the videos from earlier this year. You have a deadline and you have to provide the money upfront and get reimbursed once you’ve met the deadline. I think they got 75,000 pounds refunded.

It is absolutely amazing how the land is looking now after these days of cutting and chipping etc. And probably clearings the ditch, water will be running along, it will helps the drainage of your land and it will be less and less mud around your house. Fantastic job, well done you two❤👍

What a woman great job😊

Good job, Dawn.

Great job moving the OSB boards up, and of course you planned it so that you could do it that way.

Try damp sticks where you drill every 300mm and drill and insert damp sticks where they when they get wet/damp make a jell and stop the rising d amp I have done this on several damp walls and it seems to work.

Well you certainly got yoursteps in, moving that lot. Great to see the progress.

You've done so much, and all the area around the house now looks good.

Great work. It looks so much better without the manky floor boards. I kept thinking as each rotten and worm infested piece came up "free firewood!"

The red wheel will help it go faster. Driving over a large pile of dirt is something anyone could do by mistake!

Oh, yippee, it's raining again. The blinds make it look like it's a real room.

Interesting! And quite funny, stealth filming.

Not something you hear every day - "I'm going to hoover the ceiling." 😂. Enjoying seeing your progress from the south west of Western Australia. More power to your arms.

Oh, the sound quality is so much better! I noticed you were wearing your clip-on mic.

that is so funny watching this and you talk about reaching 3.000 subcribers...and now, there are more than 20.000😂

Hello Trojan Work your doing There Have a look at Camper Vibe they are Restoring a Cottage in Ireland Doing majority of the Work themselves.

I am intrigued by your perseverance! Great work Dawn & Ben.

Wow. Fantastic job

Really excellent job you have done the place really looks so good

To sum it up. You are Rock Stars.

So proud of both of you

Would it be possible to use a blow torch on that embedded Ivey?

Bravo absolutely stunning what you have achieved so far. I can't wait to see happen in the next 12 months! Cheer from Toronto!!!

The outbuilding wall is looking good, now comes the more difficult part. It must be frustrating to realize that the slope of the road allows water to flow right up against your outer walls. So good that the stones are drying out where you’ve exposed them. Do you plan to remove the cement render at some point?
