Can we finish the ringbeams? DIY renovation of a ruin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- 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 farm 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 as much of the work ourselves.
Please follow along on our journey...we need all the support we can get!
This week, we attempt the 2nd ringbeam.

It's so lovely to see Sam's confidence grow every episode. You guys are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing this journey with us.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching & supporting us.
SUGGESTION:
In your thumb nail, consistently include words like: DIY or renovation or homestead, in order to increase your search algorithm.
For example: RENOVATING: can we finish this DIY ring beam?
Also, don’t feel rushed. The longevity and projects diversity is all part of RUclips enjoyment.
Adding the shed for Toby was a nice diversion touch.
Y’all are doing an awesome job!!!!
Noted & added to my thumbnail. Thanks for the tip. I'm definitely still learning. 👍
@@theirishhomestead every little bit helps.
Consistency & reliability helps a bunch. So far, y’all are hitting all the marks.
Also, thanks for letting us know that you will not be vlogging next week.
You will be missed.
And off grid
@@barriegannon3572oh yes, definitely agree with you on that.
I would say
1. Renovation/(restoration when applicable)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2. DIY
3. Off grid
4. Homestead
@@theirishhomestead you are doing extremely well Bec. I would find it daunting. Have a lovely day.
Behind every good man.. is empty space because next to him stands a great woman! The final shot shows the excellent work of a determined team. Enjoy your family time!
❤
Thank you. We work well as a team I think. 💪
Not always, I consider myself to be a good man and there's empty space all around me because I fly solo, 💪💪🔨🪓🌲🇮🇪🇮🇪
Bec, my wife was groaning watching you making up the cement and at the end watching you troweling into place. To top it off, driving to pick up groceries to feed the family! It’s all going to be worth it, you folks are not the failing types.
Ha trust me I was feeling it and I do not even know how we did it! Thankfully it's finished and we can rick another of the dreaded tasks off the list. The thatch was the first!
The old building is looking in fine fettle, now! Regards, Stephen.
Thanks Stephen.
Your love for your wife is always so endearing. Plus even though she was working so hard alongside you.. she is pretty darn good looking. Becca is practically glowing. ❤😊
Yep she's a beauty
👍👍👍 Once again Thank you 👏👏👏
👍♥️
Sam & Bec, you've a lot to be proud of, you're breaking the back of this renovation and in the not so distant future, you'll be sitting in your own lounge, with your children and enjoying the comfort of the family home, you've built. Sam & Bec Well-done, I love watching your channel. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
I hope so! That day still feels so far away! Thank you so much for the words of support. It means a lot.
Sam and Becky are troopers. A bath, a nice meal. Time for family things.
No bath sadly. We miss a bath! One day we will have our dream free standing bath!
No local swimming holes - river, streams, sea, waterfall?
Course if you like a cold dip! I know that's better for aching muscles, but me, I prefer a hot bath any day of the week.
@@theirishhomestead😊
It is amazing watching Rebeca and Sam working so closely together. The positive discussion between the two of you show how much you both are into this project.
The shot at the end from 2023 until today really shows the progress you have made and I am impressed. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking us on your journey.
Thank you. We are looking forward to seeing the roof on!
It is so cool how Sam expresses his love and respect for Rebecca! Rebecca you are a special lady!
He is so lovely saying those things and I obviously am so proud of him and how well he is doing.
Well done Sam
Another great job
Happy Fathers Day tomorrow 🤗
Thanks so much 👍
What a team! ❤
👍
PHENOMENAL DO DO DO DO DOOO PHENOMENAL DO DO DO DOOO😂.
Well done troopers! Xxx
🤣💪💪 thank you.
Awww grand job both if you you are our HEROS so glad you have time out bext week we be here waiting tc now luv to you all the oldies xxxx🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks so much guys. So lovely to see your comments each week. See you soon. ♥️
Wowsa...Bec, go girl! Inspirational. Sam, great work. Good work. Thanks 🎉❤❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you so much!! ♥️♥️
You are such a lovely couple. Great work
You are so kind. Thank you.n
You two should be rightly proud of each other, behind every good man is a good woman. 😁
"behind every successful man is an astonished woman"
And behind every good woman is a good man I say.
Very true words. 👍
@@legrandeileen4863😊❤
Fantastic achievement! Have a lovely week off x
Thanks. Sadly no break for Sam.
@theirishhomestead aww sorry I understand x
Outstanding 🎉 Thanks for sharing your journey. Stay safe and well.
Thank you! Will do!
Oh you guys …you are both sooooo cute. Lovely personalities. Hard workers. A real team effort. Relax now and put your feet up for a few hours.
Thank you so much 🤗
Great team work, you two. When this done, you will look back at all the hard work and, say "WE did this". Great watch and thanks for sharing.
That will be a huge day! I can't wait to move in!
I'm sorry, there must be an error! Sunshine? No wind, rain, or crappy weather? Your beam looks good to me. As long as it is more solid than a jelly, you're in clover! It's coming together!
Oops, I spoke too soon. At least it was a quick rain. Bec, the good news is it isn't a two story house! Carrying on the pregnancy theme, at least the baby isn't overdue and weighing 11 pounds!!! See you in 2 weeks!
Blessed Be!
Ha ha yes the rain likes to keep us on our toes that's for sure. Boiling one minute throwing it down the next! This is one summer we won't forget.
Euan was 10lb 10oz I know what I'd rather be doing....the ring beams 🤣
👍
And that ring beam is amazing I take my hat off to you both xx
Thank you.
So much done. Again, such team work. Enjoy your family time. See you when you get back. You need a break from all of this very hard work. Rest up you have more hard work to come.
Yes lots more work to come, but in a year or so we will look back upon all this and probably miss it, each day is packed with graft but there is brightness in the future
Oh guys, you should be soooo proud of yourselves!
Thanks we are ♥️
brilliant work guys what i like about your channel the positive feedback you get from your followers
Us too! It really keeps us going ♥️
Looking great you two
Thanks so much
What a smooth operation you were both running there. 👏 It’s exciting to see the progress and the photos for comparison show it so well. Hope you have a good week.
It's so good to look back and remind ourselves how far we have come.
Super Partners!!
Every step is getting closer to an awesome😊 homestead.
I hope so! Thanks so much.
Great job guys. Ye are both a great inspiration to us all all.
Thank you that's very kind.
Just can’t imagine how hard this job is! Praying that God gives you all the strength and the fortitude to get thru it.. may He provide everything you need! Once you get thru all this part, and on to the fun stuff. It is going to be absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thank you Kelly. 👍
Both worked really well and achieved your goal. I would get Euan involved in the build. I was 12 when I Built my own shed in a barn. Built a brick fireplace out of my pocket money. Plasterboarded it, skirting, wallpaper etc and was fascinated by glass and stained glass. Could cut my own glass and make stained glass windows. Read the collins Complete Guide to DIY avidly and further self taught knowledge on wiring lights and sockets etc.
Wow that's amazing. Euan loves the machinery! He will get involved in the build but prefers the big mechanical guns rather than using his own 🤣
FANTASTIC WORK✅✅✅✅✅✅😁
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you! Also take some time and relax !
Sam is still working hard bless him.
Love to see Toby and the dog together. !! Fun videos. Great progress!
Wasn't that great?!
It looks like they are slowly becoming friends, just what they both need, being by nature sociable herd/pack animals.
Thank you. Glad you enjoy watching. ♥️
You are both marvellous what a team, well done.
Fantastic work guys you enjoy your time off you well deserve it
Thanks 👍
Sam is looking very fresh lately.
,must be the lifestyle.
Or the haircut and tan 🤣
Good work. Seen this type of job done using cleets, tying wire and spacers inside.
That’s awesome. What a transformation from the before picture. You guys are killing it. Enjoy your family things.
Thank you. ♥️
I agree with you Sam she is a diamond. Behind every great man there is a greater woman. I don't envy the task you have ahead of you but I admire how focused and driven you are. I did a 6"deep pour last week and the form work was off by evening.. Best be safe though.
Thanks for that. Always hesitate when removing the forms, but it's usually OK. 👍
Amazed at how much progress you made this week!
When you first started you said you weren’t a stone mason. Now look at you. You are doing great and when you run across a problem you think outside the box and you come up with a solution.
Enjoy the break
👍
Ring beams finished, congratulations 🎉
Yes! Thank you!
Wow the transformation in the last year is fantastic keep up the great work
Thank you! Will do!
Well done you two,love watching your videos, i live in Salford and so glad you are doing well in your health, also having your lovely wife's support
Respect to you both. Keep the channel going. I love seeing what you are both achieving.
Respect kev.❤
Thanks Kev. Really appreciate the kind message. 👍♥️
You have no idea how much that little stone building is coming to life, Becky, and how much you two have grown in confidence since that first episode. I guess warmer, drier days add some shine but wonderful work, and your animals and kids are blossoming also. Have a great week.
Thanks so much. Let's hope we get the roof on and ideally the floor done whilst we still have the weather. 🤞🍀
A huge well done to you all. That looked a real slog. The pointing looks great.
Thanks 👍
Your doing a great job Sam not forgetting Bec your right hand man 😘😘
Thanks. 👍
Watching this from Egypt on holiday! Keep it up guys!
Awesome! Thank you!
You are both fantastic
♥️ thanks.
A huge step forward....👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽!!! The before & after pics are testament to your immese effort - brilliant! Have a fantastic and well deserved break....🏝🏖🏝
Yes! Thank you!
Really enjoy watching your channel! I can’t believe how much progress you’ve made! Toby is so happy! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊
I can't believe how hard you both worked to do that. And it's a pleasure to see a renovation that is being handled with such competence. Well done both of you.
Thanks that's really kind of you.
Rebecca, you are the Master of the Mixers!!!
🤣 that's a new title for me! Wish it was for mixing cocktails rather than cement or lime!
Great job. What a team. Another step completed
Thanks 👍
A very neat ring beam Sam and Bec, you both can be so proud of that achievement. You are going great guns. Just now you will put the roof joists on and then it will be ready for roofing. Bec you are a trooper and Sam you are right that was quiet a relentless job and you both deserve a good rest for the rest of the day and chill out. Toby and your dog (who I am sorry have forgotten his/her name) are very good friends. Have a lovely day.
Thank you. We are just so keen to get the house done. Sam is almost obsessed with it 🤣. Nell is a lovely girl and makes sure everyone is OK and safe. She has fitted in beautifully as have all our animals to be fair. We are lucky. ♥️
No documentary next week,... well folks that means that we all have to go out and do some yard & house work ourselves, aye I know we can do it. Slainte !
🤣🤣💪💪
Good evening Becky and lovely family 😍 You’ve done it again with your intro Bec’s foxglove plants 🪴 and of course Toby 👍🏻 Love Sam’s blancmange mold lol 😂 Sam’s works so hard and love how he thinks the world of you Becky 😍 Great progress guys. Keep the good work up 👍🏻 Have a great week stay safe love Stevie xx
Thanks so much Stevie. 😊
Well done on the ring beams. You are a great team, supporting each other. it will be an amazing home when finished.
Hope so! Thanks. ♥️
Concrete beam is looking good, some professional work there, well done all of you ❤
Thanks 👍
Becky and Sam, gosh I'm going to miss you both next week but I hope you have a nice and look forward to seeing the one after, huge difference between the before and after photo, can't wait to see when all is done
Us too Orla. Exciting times ahead. ♥️
Becky and Sam congrats on getting your ridgebeams done That was hard work for both of you but certainly Becky worked so hard she must have aches and pains all over her body.So much achieved. Take care and God Bless you all xxxx
It was a lot of physical work but can tick that milestone off the list. Getting there slowly, but surely. 👍
Ole Sam has done great, he's a fast leaner. Bec you keep it up girl, us ladies have to get it done. ❤
So true! 🤣👍💪
I take my hat off to you both👒👷👷 what a wonderful job well done ✅... I am sooo happy for you all 🥰😊 have a great munch and time with your family 👨👩👧👦
Thank you so much 😀
@@theirishhomestead 🥰
This is a side comment , nothing to do with the build, sort of , but the nice trimmed beard and haircut looks so nice and shows you are looking after yourself which is important in being able to manage the stress of such a huge project. And also makes it easier for Bec to give you a well deserved hug.
🤣🤣 yes he had a much needed groom. We know self care is important and do factor it in as much as possible. No burnouts here. ♥️
Well done on your hard work! ❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
And bravo Bec of course. Two of you are a powerhouse.
💪👍
Well done to both of you I think you both are working incredibly hard so really well done you progressing well
Thank you so much. Definitely trying to get this roof on before summers over!
This Cottage is going to be so awesome plus stunning once it's finished can't wait to see it
Congratulations Rebecca. Way to power through something you were dreading!❤❤
Thank you so much!! Big relief!
Amazing job, well done all!!
Thank you very much!
You both have worked so hard on this home, I hope you both have decades to enjoy it into your retirement.
I hope so too! 🤞🍀
Just look at all the progress you've made, you amazing people. 👏 👏👏
Thank you so much!
Great job guys..............well done.
Thank you.
Rebecca I totally got your apprehension, well done, you are a great team .
Thanks. It feels silly now but gosh I was not looking forward to it. 🤣
This hard work is obviously good for you both ,forget all the aches and pains,Bec is looking beautiful and Sam so handsome with his hair cut.
Aww thank you. ♥️
You guys are doing a Awesome job. :)
Thanks so much!
Well done both of you! Great example to your children with all your hard work and fortitude! You will have a wonderful family home when you are finished. 💕👏👏
Thank you so much! ♥️
That’s what I call teamwork ❤hard work well done guys good job
Thanks 💪💪
Not bad for a chippy. It's great to see all your hard work coming together on this project. Love , health and respect from Scotland UK.
🤣 thanks 💪
That was a terrific amount of very hard work - but what a milestone that is to form the 2nd ring beam. Will structurally improve the building below and also the roof on top (eventually). SO admire the hard work you are undertaking. Well done.
Many thanks! We hope the building will stand another 300 years if we get this right. 🤞🍀
The last photos shows that it's starting to come to shape and straighten up
Yes it's coming along nicely. Thank you
Great Job!
Thanks!
Your hard work really is paying off. The before and after photos are fab. You must be so proud at how well the project is progressing😀👍
We are thank you. 💪
Amazing, heroic efforts! The barn is looking wonderful. Great work!!!
More progress, you have a one in a million in Becca there Sam, great to see you getting it done!
I know. She's amazing. Wouldn't have got this far without her.
Your future living room is really taking shape thanks to your amazing team work!
We agree! Thank you
Love your channel. You both work so hard but it will be amazing when are finished and have a wonderful home. I love seeing Toby bless him he is looking so much better now. Be lovely when his friend comes to join him ❤x
Ahh yes I can't wait for that day! Still working on it. ♥️
What you guys have achieved is phenomenal!!
Thank you. ♥️
Without Weary = No Rewards......You Made It👍
👍
Aww it is all starting to take shape now! Gives yourselves a pat on the back for getting those 2 ring beams sorted! Fingers crossed there won’t be quite so much mixing and hauling of buckets in the near future!
Yeah I get that feeling of knowing what’s ahead of you…the only silver lining is the second time around you already have your system of doing it so it’s soo much quicker the next time around and less nerve wracking although I’m not sure the same can be said all of the time with babies! 😂
Amazing job and I bet you’re glad it’s all done now!?
Ha yes the fear was worse than the actual job. As is always the way! And like the ringbeam Euan was a much easier delivery despite my fears after the drama that was Isabella's birth! 🤣
Love the music you choose.
Thank you. Glad you like it.
The before and after are amazing! Great job!!
Thank you so much!
Yes, it’s like giving birth again…but his time, to an entire house! Hang in there. You’re doing so well ! ❤
🤣🤣 yes it is a bit but a lot longer an ordeal 🤣
Ring beams all done so you have certainly earned some downtime with family. Both of you are amazing. Well done. Now relax for a bit.
Thanks. Sam is not relaxing as you will see next week!
Fabulous job love seeing Toby and the chickens dogs and cats. Good luck 🍀
Thank you. The animals cheer is up on the harder days.
