I always smile when Sam says things like "It's all I know how to do..." (about joinery). Just take a step back buddy. Look at what you've achieved already. You are definitely *not* a one trip pony and you have many more strings in your bow now! And if you ever need to "advertise" your work, just point people here to see how accomplished you've become at many things and what an amazing grafter you (and all the family) are.
Not just grafters which of course is amazing, but they are clearly, very kind and loving family! It is so lovely to see the consideration they show each other. What role models they are fot their children and the rest of us too? So much respect. 🙂
I live in Australia and we truly respect our fire- fighters. They put themselves in dangerous situations to protect people and properties. Knowing you are becoming one Sam doesn't surprise anyone because you have a good heart Sam. Your beautiful Bec will hold the fort and you are right Sam, your Bec is a beautiful, capable partner in life. Your roof crew are champions it looks amazing. Cheers 👍👍❤
Well done for volunteering in the fire service. Another way to be part of the local community and being self sufficient. So proud of you, when you have loads of other priorities in your lives!
I am confident that you will feel a great deal of satisfaction from joining your local Fire Service. I have been a volunteer with a Rescue Organisation in Australia for nearly 23 years now, having both good & confronting experiences during that time. One of the greatest experiences is sharing time with my colleagues & the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped people through some of the most difficult times of their lives.
I am in total awe of just how hard you all work, and when problems crop up, you both take them in your stride and find a solution ❤ Beautiful intro, the scenery is so lush and furry and feathered friends too. Francis and Dessie are real perfectionists, and the fact that they aren't roofers is incredible given the beautiful job they have done. Good luck, Sam, with the fire training and as always much love to you all ❤
Your videos are like a breath of fresh air in the mornings. Nice people, genuine people and like all those who watch your channel, we wish you all the very best.
Congratulations Sam with the joinery almost completed and for your training as a firefighter!! It's looking beautiful and thanks to Francis and Desi for all the slogging up top. You've all got magnificent skills 😊 I'll love seeing the whole visual from start to finish with the drone. What beautiful scenery you have on your homestead. Amazing difference ❤❤❤
The roof looks amazing and we’ve not even seen it finished but wow the lads have worked so hard and Sam should be so proud too as he’s doing an incredible job ❤ take care and good luck on the training Sam I’m sure you’ll smash it like you always do. Let’s hope guys you can find another generator that will do a great job for you. ❤
Congrats on your new vocation Sam. How nice to know you've got a strong, reliable partner in Becky to keep the home fires burning while you're away. The roof is superb and the progress on the homestead very inspiring. Thanks to you all for taking time away from the work and animals to share your journey. Peace from San Jose, California.
Oh my almost 22 yr old Granddaughter loved her Fireman Sam hard covered book Well Done Sam ! May you be blessed in your pursuits what a career, Bless you All 🙏💞
You now have e multiple skills, concrete work , stone work, roofing, landscaping, both of you are so hard workers, just lovely people and a great family. Both of you can turn your hands to most things. WELL DONE
Loving your artistic intros, can't beat raindrops on spiderwebs. You have made such a fantastic effort to get the roof on and I will be hanging out to see the finished roof next week. All the best Sam for your training course and look forward to you doing the inside.
Can imagine all the perks you will get with the fire fighting. Learning more about the area, opening all kinds of doors, updates of what is going on in your area you wouldn't know if not being in that kind of job. Your roof looks fantastic, so sleek and clean. You all have worked so hard and it shows. Sorry you have to leave for 3 weeks but training is best.
Thanks Becky, Sam and family, for another fantastic video... Hope your generator problems are sorted out very quickly...Roof is looking fantastic.. All the best with the training Sam, and Becky you'll hold the fort while he's gone, and do an amazing job....looking forward to next week...
Good morning Toby, I love hearing him calling ❤ Well done tackling the roof in all weathers, looking fantastic! Can't believe it wasn't just a straight swap with the generator with it being only 6 weeks old, hopefully refund gets to you pretty quickly. Good luck Sam with the fire training, Becky you'll have your very own Fireman Sam 😁 Hope all goes well in the homestead for you whilst Sam is away, I'm sure it will. Have I missed a video with the oil drum fire 🤔 Adapt and overcome, as my husband always says. Brilliant video as always ❤
So well done guys,for your strength and fortitude in low times,you will get there,and certainly deserve to.Good luck Sam with the training,Sam will be fine with all the love and support on her side,can’t wait to see your on going progress,it’s going to be fab.x
It is early morning (1:14 AM) as I am typing this and I am so happy to see the progress made. I do wish the weather had been kinder for you. Kudos to Sam for the firefighter training! Our volunteer firefighters have saved our home/farm countless times from wildfires. They are amazing and we are so thankful for them. I can't wait to see what you have in store Bec. Wishing you all the best!
Wow that's great, starting a new career locally is amazing. I can only imagine that you are going to be great at it and gain a lot of new friends, family in another way. Good luck Sam, it's going to be different but I'm sure you'll find a way.👍❤️
Sam you are doing a great job with the roof with the Irish boys . Good luck while you away for the fire service training 3 weeks will go fast . Bec you are a champion with everything you do as well . I love watching your videos ❤
I think you both made a really good decision getting the help in to get the roof finished for winter, it looks amazing. What a great way to be part of your new community by joining the fire crew.
Wow, big changes ahead with an upcoming fireman in the family! Please stay safe in all that you do. Looking forward to seeing the roof complete - another item checked off the long list. Bec, good luck with dealing with those generator folks - hoping you quickly get a refund to help pay for a better and more reliable unit. Take care now! :)
Thanks so much. The generator people who a huge let down. I was so shocked. At least the roof is pretty much finished and Sam is starting a new career. Things are good so can't complain. 👍
The best of luck with everything in the near future . The roof , the generator, and Sam at boot camp. You all have done a great job lads and lassie . Looking forward to seeing you all with the roof finished 🎉
Hi Becca, I'm curious about the electricity situation there, it seems mad that you are dependent on a generator. Can the esb not supply you with a temporary feed to the site? Maybe you could explain on a later episode, thanks. The roof looks great, good for another 100 years, well done Sam giving of his time for the local community 👍
The roof looks amazing and excellent quality. Well done on the firefighting, think you'd be perfect for it especially as you're excited about it, good luck with the training and looking forward to hearing more about it. Stay warm!
Well done all of you for another jam-packed week of hard work ... Becky, my love, you have 3 weeks infront of you that you'll handle like a champion (all be it a knackered champion by the end 😮 😌😴🥴 !!!) .... YOU ARE SOOO far into your home creating !!! it's incredible to think of the progress you have made since this time a year ago 😊😊😊😊 .. my love and admiration, as always, to you all ❣❣❣❣
Well done, everyone, fantastic work 👏🏻👏🏻 I feel that with every project worthwhile like yours, there comes that moment when you are being tested and you just need to persevere, and you will be rewarded 😊👍🏻 So hang in there, the silver lining is already there! I also watch a channel here on YT called “The Outsider”, and he sings high praise of The Jackery as being the best generators out there. He has built an off grid cabin in Canada and I feel he is a really good and honest craftsman, like Sam is, and it might be worth a look… Good luck with the fireman training, and hang in there Becky, three weeks will go by in a flicker, I am sure 👍🏻 🍀
You work so hard and I look forward to watching your video productions. The quality is excellent & I love the music. You are an inspirational family and I hope you can find some time in the near future for some rest and relaxation. No-one deserves it more than your family. Sending love and best wishes.
Good morning Becky, Sam and Family…. A tip of me old hat and a Top of the Morning to Dessie, Francis and DL (Dessie’s Lad). That’s an awesome job you’ve all done on the roof lads, even more so given that slating the roof has been huge learning curve for you guys. A huge shout out to Becky, she truly is one quality lady and I told her that many months back. I likened her to all those brave, strong, determined ladies who withstood the Blitz of WW2…keeping the lads fed and watered, bossing us about, driving us forward as only a loving woman can and getting away with it 😳. Absolutely brilliant news Sam regarding your Fireman appointment. It seems to me that you are the perfect person for the job. So good luck. As always my respects and kind regards to you all…..Dave
Again..doing an amazing job by all, congrats to Sam for his contribution to the community, Becky, holding the Fort,can't be easy,but it'll be worth it. Think of all those amazing Christmas's to come in your new home. 😊
Was in awe of what you'd achieved. Camera doesn't do it justice it really doesn't. Congratulations to fireman Sam too. Amazing where life leads us isnt it. You truly never know whats next . Great catching up with you all. Dont hesitate to shout if you need anything .
Such great progress on your beautiful roof! Sam, I wish you well on your new and noble endeavor. You are truly one of the helpers and your community is very lucky to have you. And Rebecca, we look forward to seeing that drone footage of the roof from its beginning. As usual, this video had beautiful music to accompany it. A Storyteller's Life was especially lovely. I love being able to share your family's journey each week. You encourage us with your optimism, no matter the ups and downs. Happy weekend! 💙🙂
I can't wait to see the house with the windows in it going to be amazing to see it warm and dry then it's time to get the inside sorted I think yous doing an amazing job love it love it love it I really can't wait to see the outcome
Such wonderful progress and your very own Fireman Sam....EPIC. Please take care and wishing you a safe few weeks till Sam is back from his training camp.....much love from moi in 🇨🇵
Way to go, Sam, working in your community, very rewarding, and a way to be involved with your new neighbours, And helping people in need in a crisis, I loved the intro. You can really see the change in the season in the country, The cottage is looking fantastic, Big shout for Dessy and Francis super stars, And good luck with boot camp Sam, you can do it.
PLEASE IF YOUR BRAND NEW GENNY HAS BROKEN DOWN LETS HAVE THE NAME OF IT FOR OBVIOUS REASONS THIS HELPS EVERYONE. love your intro as always YOUR a ton of strength Bec that's for sure thanks for your video.
Rebecca, I’m looking forward to seeing what you are doing while Sam is away. Your projects are always interesting. I agree with Sam the main focus is restoring the house. But it’s your donkeys, chickens, cats etc I watch for in every video. In this video I kept looking for the chickens and they didn’t appear. ❤
Roof is looking fantastic, I’m sure Sam will be working with Desi and Francis a lot, they make a great team. Are you planning on any solar or wind options for your power, that with battery storage would reduce your reliance on ESB and generator back up in the future.
We what you and Sam are doing is inspiring! You’ve both worked so hard and it’s looking fantastic and that’s credit to you both. Just one thing when did you do the oil drum fire? I must of missed it brilliant idea and good luck Sam on your training.
At 21:30 kitty on the roof! Becky, your cinematic skills shine with every video. I love the mood you captured with the misty surroundings. And all the animals on board whether thru sight or sound. Sam, love your desire to join the local fire fighting team! An admirable commitment that will also bring a great sense of community to your family. Good luck with your new generator!
Congratulations Sam and family. What a wonderful door opening for y’all. You all realize everything is a team effort and are very complimentary of each other and your Boys. It is so refreshing to see a family so together. I know everybody will miss you Sam but they are so very proud of you. Keep ie keeping on my friends❤️❤️❤️
Firstly... respect to Sam for his willingness to serve his community in such an important way 👨🚒 I was thinking; you now the old saying "If these walls could talk"? Well if your walls could talk, I'm sure that right now they would be saying "Thank you!" Thanks for doing all you do to enable us to follow along with your epic journey 💕
What a massive asset you will be to the fire service Sam.Good for you.The best is yet to come.What a cracking roof job. Great lads. Love to you all.👏🌈😀xx
Wow, what a transformation, it must be a wonderful feeling to see your dreams appearing right in front of your eyes ❤. I didn’t realise that Francis and Dessie weren’t roofers, what talented craftsmen. Good luck Sam, what an amazing thing to do.
A whole bunch of absolute grafters, that roof looks superb, in my opinion Honda make the best sub 7kva generators by a mile, but it comes sadly at a cost. Crack on guys you are absolute troopers getting it done.
Crikey! Nothing but admiration for you guys! Hard yards day after day. However, as a 73 year old father and grandad, I can't help feeling concerned for you all. Hope you stay safe, well and happy! Best wishes and love to everyone from Manchester!❤❤❤
This is a serendipity moment for your community and fire services who are going to quickly discover how lucky they are to have you on board Sam. You already have the luck of the Irish to have discovered such great friends to help on the roof.
I felt quite emotional watching this video, goodness knows how you feel. The intro was lovely, the work on the roof is amazing and I can’t wait to see next week’s episode. Listening to you and Sam talk about plans and obstacles and your resilience even though it must be really frustrating. Hope Sam’s training goes well. Thank you again!
The roof is amazing.. I’m glad you are celebrating topping out. Sam, what a journey you are embarking on.. Good luck 👏🌟 Wishing you all well on the power front. Cheers from Oz🐨🐨
Becca you are the best.. and the photography at the beginning was beautiful..Sam really appreciates you he always says the sweetest things.. I am looking forward to the next video ❤
Fantastic that you got into Fire fighting training! Good luck with it. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. The house is looking amazing . Well done Des, Francis and Sam!❤
What a wonderful start to every Sat. I get out of bed looking forward to your video. What a wonderful team you both are along with the kids the animals and of course your brilliant help from the boys. Best of luck Sam you will love your new career, onwards and upwards.
I used to work for the Fire Serbices Council in the mid to late 1990’s and it was its own body run by civil servants (us) and I can recall training the officers who in turn trained the firefighters and I can recall some of the training was intense but it was worthwhile because you were doing this to save others so everyone who was involved had that sense of satisfaction knowing all that was to save lives. Sam I’m not surprised as your willingness to do good shines through you and well done you should feel very proud
Sam , you have done so well and Becky , it will be very satisfying to get that roof done , good luck with the fire training, I think it will be good for you to do focus on something else.x
Fireman Sam , you'll need a new logo for the channel now , pinch the one from the Ceebeebies . .Roof looking superb , and Sam doing joinery for Dezi and Francis going forward is a great idea . Re the generator , have you considered an old LISTER diesel engine ( from a canal boat ) , or an old Mercedes truck engine , maybe set-up in the barn ??
You're all such an inspiration the way you deal with everything. And now firefighter training. Like you don’t have enough on your plate! Good luck with that Sam. And kudos to all of you left carrying on in the cold 🥶
Love seeing and hearing you talk and explain things Becky! There must be so much work for you around of this roofing project. Also the roof is looking so good! It will be a beautiful house. Great editing as allways!
Exciting changes for all of you! I can't wait to see the finished roof. It's been amazing to watch the crew work together. Good luck at training Sam. You're going to be a great fireman! I'm looking forward to seeing more videos with Becky the next few weeks and love it when you waffle on :)
Your very easily liked you and Sam I pray your family is blessed in your endeavors! I’ll definitely keep watching for DIYs such as your family keep on keeping on!!!
Hey my neighbour had roofing company in last week to strip and reslate one side of tiny scottish cottage we were impressed on how efficient and quick they were ....they had FIVE GUYS and it took them almost a week so given itwas tiny in comparrison to ur roof. So glad ur joining fire service to further be part of community well done xx
So well done to you both. The roof almost finished looks smashing. Great that Sam has passed all the tests to begin his new venture. Looking at the map of your travels next to him, I noticed that you came to my part of the world in the Mont Saint Michel bay. Wish you luck with the refund on the generator and you'll be able to replace it very soon. At the beginning, I noticed Euan putting eggs for sale in a box on the lane, I wish people did this in France too. It is always a treat and a joy to see both of you and your progresses when I wake up on a Saturday morning. Well done as always.x
Morning, your intro this morning was outstanding, loved it. You certainly know how to video, no fast shots that I can’t follow. Following you is the best. I love the Irish accent; always said that I should have married an Irishman!! Good luck Sam on your new venture, looking forward to hearing about it. X
Hi Rebecca Sam not forgetting Desie and Francis, great video entertaining and educational with a gen ours amount of banter thron in. Bringing me back to the old days in renovation old houses, with every day and its new chalanges, The home looks beautiful, panick is now over and on to other tasks. Well done to Sam getting on the fire service, a dependable pair of hands always nessary kind regards Sean
I always smile when Sam says things like "It's all I know how to do..." (about joinery). Just take a step back buddy. Look at what you've achieved already. You are definitely *not* a one trip pony and you have many more strings in your bow now! And if you ever need to "advertise" your work, just point people here to see how accomplished you've become at many things and what an amazing grafter you (and all the family) are.
Not just grafters which of course is amazing, but they are clearly, very kind and loving family! It is so lovely to see the consideration they show each other. What role models they are fot their children and the rest of us too? So much respect. 🙂
I live in Australia and we truly respect our fire- fighters. They put themselves in dangerous situations to protect people and properties. Knowing you are becoming one Sam doesn't surprise anyone because you have a good heart Sam.
Your beautiful Bec will hold the fort and you are right Sam, your Bec is a beautiful, capable partner in life.
Your roof crew are champions it looks amazing.
Cheers 👍👍❤
You've been busy, Sam. The damp cold gets into your bones, it's rheumatic country. The athletes wear horsebalm rubbed on and then a wollen top.
Congrats Fireman Sam 😁
Lol, how did I not see that one coming 😅
Wonderful news Sam! You both work sooo hard and deserve all the happiness. The roof looks amazing 🤩
Well done for volunteering in the fire service. Another way to be part of the local community and being self sufficient. So proud of you, when you have loads of other priorities in your lives!

Good luck, Sam, with the fire training and as always much love to you all ❤
Your videos are like a breath of fresh air in the mornings. Nice people, genuine people and like all those who watch your channel, we wish you all the very best.
Becky, you don't talk too much. I love hearing what you have to say. Hang on in there, you are all doing marvellously!
Agree, in spades 😂
Keep talking… otherwise we are just guessing what’s going on… the talking is vital to keep us engaged in what you are doing.
Congratulations Sam with the joinery almost completed and for your training as a firefighter!! It's looking beautiful and thanks to Francis and Desi for all the slogging up top. You've all got magnificent skills 😊 I'll love seeing the whole visual from start to finish with the drone. What beautiful scenery you have on your homestead. Amazing difference ❤❤❤
The roof looks amazing and we’ve not even seen it finished but wow the lads have worked so hard and Sam should be so proud too as he’s doing an incredible job ❤ take care and good luck on the training Sam I’m sure you’ll smash it like you always do. Let’s hope guys you can find another generator that will do a great job for you. ❤
I look forward to your videos every week. You’re both doing a great job. So nice to see this old house get a new life.
Congrats on your new vocation Sam. How nice to know you've got a strong, reliable partner in Becky to keep the home fires burning while you're away. The roof is superb and the progress on the homestead very inspiring. Thanks to you all for taking time away from the work and animals to share your journey. Peace from San Jose, California.
yes nice to get a break from it all i think its Becky's turn next .
Congrats On your new career Sam! Very impressed by the work you’ve done! Best team ever! And I hope Euan new egg business is going well?❤❤

You now have e multiple skills, concrete work , stone work, roofing, landscaping, both of you are so hard workers, just lovely people and a great family. Both of you can turn your hands to most things. WELL DONE
Well done for volunteering in the fire service. Enjoy your time away Sam. The roof is looking stunning, Des and Francis.
Loving your artistic intros, can't beat raindrops on spiderwebs. You have made such a fantastic effort to get the roof on and I will be hanging out to see the finished roof next week. All the best Sam for your training course and look forward to you doing the inside.
We like your explanations Becca! Nell was like the Foreman supervising! Great progress! We love you guys! So proud of your decision Sam!
Can imagine all the perks you will get with the fire fighting. Learning more about the area, opening all kinds of doors, updates of what is going on in your area you wouldn't know if not being in that kind of job. Your roof looks fantastic, so sleek and clean. You all have worked so hard and it shows. Sorry you have to leave for 3 weeks but training is best.
Thanks Becky, Sam and family, for another fantastic video... Hope your generator problems are sorted out very quickly...Roof is looking fantastic.. All the best with the training Sam, and Becky you'll hold the fort while he's gone, and do an amazing job....looking forward to next week...
Good morning Toby, I love hearing him calling ❤ Well done tackling the roof in all weathers, looking fantastic! Can't believe it wasn't just a straight swap with the generator with it being only 6 weeks old, hopefully refund gets to you pretty quickly. Good luck Sam with the fire training, Becky you'll have your very own Fireman Sam 😁 Hope all goes well in the homestead for you whilst Sam is away, I'm sure it will.

We are really enjoying your channel. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Good luck with the fire service training! From Narelle and John, Sydney x
It is early morning (1:14 AM) as I am typing this and I am so happy to see the progress made. I do wish the weather had been kinder for you. Kudos to Sam for the firefighter training!

Wow that's great, starting a new career locally is amazing. I can only imagine that you are going to be great at it and gain a lot of new friends, family in another way. Good luck Sam, it's going to be different but I'm sure you'll find a way.👍❤️
Sam you are doing a great job with the roof with the Irish boys . Good luck while you away for the fire service training 3 weeks will go fast . Bec you are a champion with everything you do as well . I love watching your videos ❤
I think you both made a really good decision getting the help in to get the roof finished for winter, it looks amazing. What a great way to be part of your new community by joining the fire crew.

Thanks so much. The generator people who a huge let down. I was so shocked. At least the roof is pretty much finished and Sam is starting a new career. Things are good so can't complain. 👍
The best of luck with everything in the near future . The roof , the generator, and Sam at boot camp. You all have done a great job lads and lassie . Looking forward to seeing you all with the roof finished 🎉
I love hearing what you have to say. ❤ You never waffle 😊

YOU ARE SOOO far into your home creating !!! it's incredible to think of the progress you have made since this time a year ago 😊😊😊😊 .. my love and admiration, as always, to you all ❣❣❣❣
Congratulations Sam ,, good luck with the training,,, roof looks fantastic,
Well done, everyone, fantastic work 👏🏻👏🏻 I feel that with every project worthwhile like yours, there comes that moment when you are being tested and you just need to persevere, and you will be rewarded 😊👍🏻 So hang in there, the silver lining is already there! I also watch a channel here on YT called “The Outsider”, and he sings high praise of The Jackery as being the best generators out there.

Jackery is pointless without a power source and solar isn't dependable in Ireland . An old diesel engine in the barn is the best backup plan
@ oh I am sure you must be right, he does have solar panels installed near the cabin.
You work so hard and I look forward to watching your video productions. The quality is excellent & I love the music. You are an inspirational family and I hope you can find some time in the near future for some rest and relaxation. No-one deserves it more than your family. Sending love and best wishes.
Good morning Becky, Sam and Family…. A tip of me old hat and a Top of the Morning to Dessie, Francis and DL (Dessie’s Lad). That’s an awesome job you’ve all done on the roof lads, even more so given that slating the roof has been huge learning curve for you guys.

Was in awe of what you'd achieved. Camera doesn't do it justice it really doesn't. Congratulations to fireman Sam too. Amazing where life leads us isnt it.
You truly never know whats next .
Great catching up with you all.
Dont hesitate to shout if you need anything .
The roof looks way better than I thought was possible, you guys did an amazing job of it.👌
It's not much, but just giving a little back.
Such great progress on your beautiful roof! Sam, I wish you well on your new and noble endeavor. You are truly one of the helpers and your community is very lucky to have you. And Rebecca, we look forward to seeing that drone footage of the roof from its beginning. As usual, this video had beautiful music to accompany it. A Storyteller's Life was especially lovely. I love being able to share your family's journey each week. You encourage us with your optimism, no matter the ups and downs. Happy weekend! 💙🙂

The cottage is looking fantastic,
Big shout for Dessy and Francis super stars,

We what you and Sam are doing is inspiring! You’ve both worked so hard and it’s looking fantastic and that’s credit to you both. Just one thing when did you do the oil drum fire? I must of missed it brilliant idea and good luck Sam on your training.
What a nightmare with the "genny".
Exciting times for Fireman Sam be good for him .
Animals are looking great and v happy . Take care all of u ❤️
The roof looks so beautiful!
At 21:30 kitty on the roof! Becky, your cinematic skills shine with every video. I love the mood you captured with the misty surroundings. And all the animals on board whether thru sight or sound. Sam, love your desire to join the local fire fighting team! An admirable commitment that will also bring a great sense of community to your family. Good luck with your new generator!
fireman Sam! nice one, good luck with the training, and getting the generator to work. all the best :)
Congratulations Sam and family. What a wonderful door opening for y’all. You all realize everything is a team effort and are very complimentary of each other and your Boys. It is so refreshing to see a family so together. I know everybody will miss you Sam but they are so very proud of you. Keep ie keeping on my friends❤️❤️❤️
Firstly... respect to Sam for his willingness to serve his community in such an important way 👨🚒
I was thinking; you now the old saying "If these walls could talk"? Well if your walls could talk, I'm sure that right now they would be saying "Thank you!"
Thanks for doing all you do to enable us to follow along with your epic journey 💕
What a massive asset you will be to the fire service Sam.Good for you.The best is yet to come.What a cracking roof job. Great lads. Love to you all.👏🌈😀xx
Wow, what a transformation, it must be a wonderful feeling to see your dreams appearing right in front of your eyes ❤. I didn’t realise that Francis and Dessie weren’t roofers, what talented craftsmen. Good luck Sam, what an amazing thing to do.
A whole bunch of absolute grafters, that roof looks superb, in my opinion Honda make the best sub 7kva generators by a mile, but it comes sadly at a cost. Crack on guys you are absolute troopers getting it done.
Thanks
Sam, good luck on your new firefighting journey. The roof looks amazing as well
Wow.Great roof job.Boy Sam.You will be such an asset to the fire crew.Well done you.The best is yet to come.Love to you all👏👍😀xx
Crikey! Nothing but admiration for you guys! Hard yards day after day. However, as a 73 year old father and grandad, I can't help feeling concerned for you all. Hope you stay safe, well and happy! Best wishes and love to everyone from Manchester!❤❤❤
The roof is looking fantastic you all work so hard be safe ❤
This is a serendipity moment for your community and fire services who are going to quickly discover how lucky they are to have you on board Sam. You already have the luck of the Irish
to have discovered such great friends to help on the roof.
Well done to the both of you...
Becky why not run a christmas fundraiser for windows ...time of giving
I felt quite emotional watching this video, goodness knows how you feel. The intro was lovely, the work on the roof is amazing and I can’t wait to see next week’s episode. Listening to you and Sam talk about plans and obstacles and your resilience even though it must be really frustrating. Hope Sam’s training goes well. Thank you again!
The roof is amazing.. I’m glad you are celebrating topping out.
Sam, what a journey you are embarking on.. Good luck 👏🌟
Wishing you all well on the power front.
Cheers from Oz🐨🐨
Your roof is looking excellent ! and together with the restored stone work , very impressive.
Becca you are the best.. and the photography at the beginning was beautiful..Sam really appreciates you he always says the sweetest things..
I am looking forward to the next video ❤
Good luck Sam. Roof looks amazing ❤
Fantastic that you got into Fire fighting training! Good luck with it. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. The house is looking amazing . Well done Des, Francis and Sam!❤
What a wonderful start to every Sat. I get out of bed looking forward to your video. What a wonderful team you both are along with the kids the animals and of course your brilliant help from the boys. Best of luck Sam you will love your new career, onwards and upwards.
I used to work for the Fire Serbices Council in the mid to late 1990’s and it was its own body run by civil servants (us) and I can recall training the officers who in turn trained the firefighters and I can recall some of the training was intense but it was worthwhile because you were doing this to save others so everyone who was involved had that sense of satisfaction knowing all that was to save lives. Sam I’m not surprised as your willingness to do good shines through you and well done you should feel very proud
Sam , you have done so well and Becky , it will be very satisfying to get that roof done , good luck with the fire training, I think it will be good for you to do focus on something else.x
Fireman Sam , you'll need a new logo for the channel now , pinch the one from the Ceebeebies . .Roof looking superb , and Sam doing joinery for Dezi and Francis going forward is a great idea . Re the generator , have you considered an old LISTER diesel engine ( from a canal boat ) , or an old Mercedes truck engine , maybe set-up in the barn ??
By the wa the roof looks amazing 🤩
You're all such an inspiration the way you deal with everything. And now firefighter training. Like you don’t have enough on your plate! Good luck with that Sam. And kudos to all of you left carrying on in the cold 🥶
Good Luck Sam, how exciting. The cottage is coming along beautifully, I can't wait to see the finished roof next week.
Your the best, you both are amazing 😊😊
Love seeing and hearing you talk and explain things Becky! There must be so much work for you around of this roofing project. Also the roof is looking so good! It will be a beautiful house. Great editing as allways!
Beautiful filming. Best wishes for your training, Sam.
Exciting changes for all of you! I can't wait to see the finished roof. It's been amazing to watch the crew work together. Good luck at training Sam. You're going to be a great fireman! I'm looking forward to seeing more videos with Becky the next few weeks and love it when you waffle on :)
Your very easily liked you and Sam I pray your family is blessed in your endeavors! I’ll definitely keep watching for DIYs such as your family keep on keeping on!!!
Hey my neighbour had roofing company in last week to strip and reslate one side of tiny scottish cottage we were impressed on how efficient and quick they were ....they had FIVE GUYS and it took them almost a week so given itwas tiny in comparrison to ur roof. So glad ur joining fire service to further be part of community well done xx
All your animals are so cute, and the roof IS looking good!
Lots of exciting news! Hope everything goes well at the training. Love and hugs to all! ❤❤❤❤
So well done to you both. The roof almost finished looks smashing. Great that Sam has passed all the tests to begin his new venture. Looking at the map of your travels next to him, I noticed that you came to my part of the world in the Mont Saint Michel bay. Wish you luck with the refund on the generator and you'll be able to replace it very soon. At the beginning, I noticed Euan putting eggs for sale in a box on the lane, I wish people did this in France too. It is always a treat and a joy to see both of you and your progresses when I wake up on a Saturday morning. Well done as always.x
Happy to hear you waffle! 😊
Morning, your intro this morning was outstanding, loved it. You certainly know how to video, no fast shots that I can’t follow. Following you is the best. I love the Irish accent; always said that I should have married an Irishman!! Good luck Sam on your new venture, looking forward to hearing about it. X
