    Clare you’re a miracle worker with plaster & tape. How on earth did you end up with such sharp edges from such big gaps in plasterboard?✌️💚

    Amazing job on the plastering Clare, looks great around that window and makes such a difference once the plaster goes on. No one deserves more than you two a good bit off time off out on the boat! Fingers crossed you got to do that .
    En-suites are coming along wonderfully and a huge high five for no leaks! That in itself is impressive! 😮 Love those shower fittings. It’s gonna look so good when you’re done. ❤
    How cool are those purple rain potatoes!? Beautiful colour! The frittata 😮 that looked soooo good 😋

      Thanks guys, we havd just had three full days on the boat and we are exhausted but refreshed thankfully. Ensuites are pain in the beep - we will never get rid of the children 🙄🤣

    I'll DIY almost anything but if there's the slightest chance I can afford it I'll hire out plumbing in a heartbeat! Floor sanding is another job I'd prefer not to do again. With a small drum sander it's doable but takes quite a long time and many passes for a good finish, with a professional sander you get an excellent finish with fairly few passes but the weight of the machine will kill your back, not just carrying it but keeping it going the whole time, it wants to escape from you with amazing force.

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  Месяц назад +1

      Well it was part of the challenge which we both accepted - to try to do absolutely everything ourselves! Now no we didn't make the windows and being honest Rob would have liked to give it a go, but time was also a big pressure for the grant.

    God Rob, (or should I say nice to see you Bruce) - you left enough of a challenge for Clare to tape, but of course our girl was up to it. Well done on the plumbing (and the fritatatata.).
    P.s. thanks for the link to the paint sprayer. Bought it today. Fingers crossed I can figure it out as I have my whole house to paint.

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  2 месяца назад

      Thanks Maeve. Paint sprayer will not disappoint. Just take the time at the start to get the settings right, I did watch a few videos😉

    Loving the Vlogs and both your personalities but would ask as DIY renovators ourselves that you take a bit more time and care with final fixings as its becoming a bit of a messy renovation.
    Great start now so would love to see some finishing and yes I know its all very hard work so I do understand :-) Keep up the focus on renovation and outside landscape!

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks for the tips! We are focusing on what is necessary to complete for the grant. Plumbing and electrics and items which we will submit receipts for need to be complete but not necessarily cosmetically complete. I hope this makes sense. If it were not for the timeline we would take more time to finish each room properly 😊

    Is it the camera angles or are the kids’ showers miniature? 😂

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  2 месяца назад

      Kids showers are not massive, both 90x90cm. The bathrooms have worked out bigger than we thought, but I think the angle of the camera does make them look small.😊

    Great job guys. Very inspiring 👏. Stupid question claire, are you not plastering the whole wall?! Lol

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  2 месяца назад

      Funny you say that as I believed that was the way it had to be done when I first started but now it is commonly to mud and tape the edges and corners only, so that's where I'm at 😊

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  2 месяца назад +1

      For now the walls will remain white and the kitchen doors have yet to be decided. Rob will make them from Birch plywood, but we may decide to darken them as the wood is very light coloured 😊

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  2 месяца назад

      You know what they were really only a problem at the start of the growing season. I guess as the weather improves and dries up they become less of a problem and also as the plants get older 😊

      Yes, I think Rob did end up filling the gaps with spray foam 😊
