Don't underestimate your daughter. She could easily have helped carry the gate. Accept her help, while she is willing to give it. It helps them feel part of it all.
There's an incredible family on youtube, Countryside Acres, who are Canadian farmers homesteading in Russia with their EIGHT kids. All the children from a very young age do almost all the same work as the parents. The children are building a house with their father. Amazing stuff! So yeah, she can absolutely do a lot more and learn skills along the way..
Found myself smiling right from the start, I love how your sense of humor compliments each others and can see now your daughter comes by it naturally. I think maybe her gate joke should have won the comment of the week 😂
Love the show. Hey. When your solo moving cheat is mount an axle off a sm wagon old wheelbarrow to a 2x6 and strap it to one end of fence panel or anything your moving. Save your body for the future.
I am watching in the US. I love how you all interact with each other. The laughter is always the best medicine! Lots of fun to watch. Thanks for the great content!
Sounds to me like you need to put the" ground source heat pump ground source loops "underneath your steaming hot compost. Double gain,feed your food and feed the heat pump. It's so lovely to hear that you're fitting in well with the community,their knowledge and friendship will really help you to flourish just as your enthusiasm will add to their enjoyment too. 😁
Interesting idea about the compost! So have come across folks using a hot compost pile in a green house to propagate warmth loving seeds on top of. Thanks for following along
You two are too cute in your “caravan corner”. Thanks for explaining the geo thermal thingy! There is nothing better than home grown Irish spuds. I wish you the best of Irish luck with all your endeavours.
I stayed in a BnB in Cork 25 years ago and it was a truly special experience. This lovely lady made us scones and tea when we arrived and gave us a gorgeous crystal port glass when we were leaving. I still use it and think of her. Magical country.
Your daughter’s sense of humor is brilliant! You’ll need to start a cookbook soon, with that Chicken Pot Pie included 😊. Love to hear from you guys every week. Have a good one!
Sometimes we take a place for granted somewhat, if we've lived there most of our lives. So that makes sense that those who have a dream place would become better at it than the locals once they actually get to live there! On a scale of 1-10 ,the gate joke gets a 10 over here in America! 😂
I just spent an intense day planning the filming over the next few weeks for my own RUclips channel and decided you guys were just what I needed to unwind. Your daughter's comment "I just take my gate on a walk" sent me into uncontrollable gales of laughter. I had to pause the video until I was more in control before I could continue watching. Such perfect, understated delivery. Definitely ending the day on a more relaxed note. Thanks for that.
I loved your first live broadcast that was excellent well done, 👍 and today’s video was equally entertaining moving the chickens digging potatoes by hand literally and then telling us all about the heat source pump loop/?? my first thought was it’s a good job you hadn’t had a few drinks before you started to tell us about the sauce bump blue bump HIC 😮 well done it was very entertaining to tell us about the❤
My son just sent a photo of his first potatoes that he had grown. Exciting to cook and eat our own grown produce. What do I do on the weekend? Such fun! I played the silent game with granddaughters and ate my daughter-in laws home made cheese cake. Yes we need the lovely memories.
Love the bloopers at the end 😂 We started our renovation in 2000, just about getting to the end now...maybe 😁 Our County Cork cottage in the countryside was built in 1920 and wasn't derelict either but we've taken our time over it (no choice really, had to work full time and save up the pennies) but it's lovely to see how you are going about building your homestead. Cork people are great, we are truly blessed to have wonderful neighbours who really helped us throughout the years. Looking forward to next week's video 🍀❤️
20 year renovation, wow that is some serious commitment, good for you! Hoping our project takes half that :) Good neighbours are always a blessing, we feel the same! Thanks for following along.
@@offgridirishhomestead We set our target at 10 years but you know how plans change and things crop up to throw you off course. We were lucky that our house was completely liveable from day one, so it didn't seem like too much of a hardship. I'm sure you'll be done and dusted in a much shorter time 😊
In Canada you can buy Carhart clothing (bib coveralls). Very heavy duty clothing. A lot of people buy them for working on farms & in Industry. With the amount of brush you have there, it might be an idea to check it out.
Thanks... needed this great vibe you guys have, and I didn't even know I did. ❤ I actually had an amazing day, and it just got even better... Good job 🙂
Yes - can't wait to get some wild garlic going. We would visit wild fields of the stuff back in Bournemouth and harvest to make wild garlic butter and pesto.
I have been out of Ireland longer than growing up years i lived there, but wherever I've been there is nothing like the root veg that grows in the black soil, they taste better than anywhere else. Keep up the good work 👏
Ye are such a lovely family and welcome to Ireland. I really hope ye join the local parish ir town community and meet loads of local people in tge area. In Ireland we are all about community and i really hope ye can get involved and meet tge neighbours and help the neighbours. Go to a gaa match a trad session get to know the real Ireland. Your lovely people welcome to Ireland your welcome to Galway anytime
Glad to see your getting animals! Some off your chickens are same as mine, I've got air source heat pump,it keeps our house warm all day& night, economic to run,especially cause we have solar panels to give us free electricity! We have a biodisc that makes our waste into water, drinkable, not that id drink it
Has been interesting to get a bunch of different breeds. We enjoy their different aesthetics and personality traits. All heat pumps are great ways to heat our homes. We went geothermal as we have the luxury of some additional land, which will hopefully make the cost over a lifetime less than if we had 4 or 5 air source pumps. Thanks for following along
And daughter's got a great sense of humour! Great to see things coming together - I knew yourself and Kayvan would do it Cori and the two of you are just so joyous despite the challenges. The ground source heat thingy sounds fantastic. I'm sure you'll be pretty much self sufficient by the time all the major works have been done. Great videos by the way!! Kxx
Hello, my name is Mark - born in Limerick but living with my wife Helen in Mississippi We love your channel. We watch a lot of renovation channels and yours is the most engaging. You are doing what we would love to do, One small suggestion, would you consider numbering your videos #001 etc. it would be easier to follow and make sure we don’t miss anything? Just a thought You guys are terrific
Hi Mark, on the YT website, if you click on any channel to open their channel page listing everything. Click on the "videos" tab just below the header and channel image, all videos ever posted are then ordered chronologically, with most recent first. Have also just added a comment to the description. The very last text is a number representing the video number. Hope that helps.
Interior is not going anywhere at the moment, focused on getting the first part of the geothermal install started, will be switching to interior in a month or so. Watch this space! Thanks for following along
Great to see the progress guys. Will be surreal when you actually move into your house!! Who knows .. maybe you have been Institutionalised by the caravan and you never move into the house :D
Its so lovely to hear the humor from your daughter. It's something special that whilst not suffering fools, people make jokes about things, forgive each other and themsleves, tell stories, particularly of shared knowledge and experiences. Even the brambles were about to consume the gate, the climate ensures everything grows! The funding arrangements are the reverse of the UK. There you pay for example £500k for a new house, on a tiny plot, and scrape together a deposit and the monthly payment. The materials and labour cost 25% to 33% of the sale price, yes £125k to £165k for cheap construction materials and methods. In Ireland, if you can afford the site, the goverment will repay you certain costs to renovate an existing house. It is such a great idea to re-invigorate life into the landscaper. Now, with wonders of the internet, some remote working can be included in the mix.
Hi guys, you are certainly really living the dream, well as much as you can when working and trying to renovate the cottage, those nice fresh spuds looked great, I do hope you are taking plenty of breaks to relax, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Did you hear my loud „yeahhh“ when your video popped up here near Bantry? I am really impressed of your systematic approach to those bed providing you with food already in this first year. Well done!
Yes it was honeysuckle! It smells absolutely heavenly. We collected a load and made a cordial from it, however it doesn't retain the delicate aroma it has in its natural state, just ended up a sweet syrup which tasted mostly of sugar, so was a little disappointed with the outcome.
Yes, I sometimes have trouble hearing what you're saying because of the music. Love you guys and your channel! Your personalities just shine! I think your channel is going to do nothing but grow. ❤
Lads....this growing veg and running around after chickens is all very 'little house on the prairie', but when are we going to get stuck into the cottage reno...then you can really play the 'Ingalls' 😊
Only pulling your leg...I did enjoy the ingalls....simple innocent times...with the odd farm yard accident thrown in for good measure!...looking forward to the reno!
I would love to watch more videos of you cooking! Your Carrot top pesto and chicken pot pie ❤ were awesome. The fat kid in me that likes food says more please!😂
May I have your recipe for the chicken pot pie you aired. Biscuits as well please. Thankyou. Hey,why don't you put out a vookbook for healthy ating on a budget. I'll hppily send $5.00 for both recipes. Thank you
Our neighbour has one, works fantastic.... I suspect whichever you had seen were not spec'd / installed appropriately. The technology is well proven, even in really hostile climates - should work a treat in a temperate zone.
Magical place you have. Ducks would be good for slug control. Could make a stile to cross the boundary instead of opening the heavy gate. Just an idea. Have a great week!
'I just take my gate on a walk.' HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Perfect delivery as well!!!
Laugh out loud moment for sure! 😂😂😂
Best bit .. genuinely witty 😂 Brava!!
Absolutely fantastic‼️ Just love your daughters sense of humour.❤️
Just watched and came here to make the same comment!
That was one of my favourite parts of the video too 😂

So yeah, she can absolutely do a lot more and learn skills along the way..
... with all of the turmoil in the world news, you folks are a source of peace and humor... thank you so much!
We stopped consuming the news years ago - too disturbing. Thanks for following along
Great to see your daughter's sense of humour, it was very funny.😂❤
She is enjoying the praise this week for sure
The gate joke was hilarious!! And you are such an adorable couple, I can't wait for your videos every Sunday!
Your daughter has a great sense of humor and interesting and beautiful questions. So refreshing.💚💚💚
The gate joke😂...well at least Kayman didn't take 'o'ffence' ....🙈🤣☘️💝🍀
🤣 It was a good one to be fair to her
More snarky tween comments, 😊 please. Absolutely adorable. 😊
Your daughter rocks 😅 “ what are you doing on the weekend: im going for a walk with my gate” 😅😅🤣🤣🤣
Your daughter is hilarious 😂 loved the gate joke
She is priceless!
You two just get better and better! Loved this episode and all of your progress!
Thank you!

@@offgridirishhomestead better than any show on the TV!
You two are such a tonic 😂😂
Your daughter too! Live your content ❤

I’ll just take my gate for a walk! Your daughter made me giggle out loud!😊
So good! Love the gate comment! I laughed hard enough to wake my napping hubby.😂

So glad that you enjoy the humor and beauty in the everyday! Have a great week!
Great video. I can't wait to see the animals you are getting.

Thanks for typing what you say when outside - hard to hear with the wind noise 👍❤️ The water and kayaking scenes are lovely.
U luck a very happy family hardworking and your daughter looks very happy what a blessing for the community to have people like u keep it going ❤👍👍
❤
Your daughter’s sense of humor is brilliant! You’ll need to start a cookbook soon, with that Chicken Pot Pie included 😊. Love to hear from you guys every week. Have a good one!
I think you have started something - a new exercise craze - walk your gate to fitness!
Loving your channel, thanks for the uplifting videos!

13 I think.

Brilliant video thank you ❤
Hi, watching from Co. Wexford, Ireland, enjoying watching your progress. ❤

See if you can find some wild garlic and plant some of that. Tastes much better than the normal stuff.
Yes - can't wait to get some wild garlic going. We would visit wild fields of the stuff back in Bournemouth and harvest to make wild garlic butter and pesto.

Perfect, looks so beautiful and untouched 😊
So lovely to see you benefit from the fruits of the soil and land. May we see more updates on the cottage interior progress, please?

It does indeed! Thanks for following along
Ground source heat lump pump ground heat pump source! Got it! 😂
Grand progress and the gate was so funny but I bet it was heavy dragging about well done all three tc now love from the oldies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It really was! Had some serious gravity to it!
??????Was that honey suckle I saw near the blackberries, I read where, dried the flower are great for colds and chest problems
Yes it was honeysuckle! It smells absolutely heavenly. We collected a load and made a cordial from it, however it doesn't retain the delicate aroma it has in its natural state, just ended up a sweet syrup which tasted mostly of sugar, so was a little disappointed with the outcome.
Love the vids and wish you every success. Please tone the music down in the next instalment! Thanks.
Yes, I sometimes have trouble hearing what you're saying because of the music. Love you guys and your channel! Your personalities just shine! I think your channel is going to do nothing but grow. ❤
Thanks for the kind words!
Looking forward to seeing the ground force feet sump peat hump.
source force pump lump is going to be a great milestone!
Envious of you over all talents 🤣

North Carolina - woot!
Lads....this growing veg and running around after chickens is all very 'little house on the prairie', but when are we going to get stuck into the cottage reno...then you can really play the 'Ingalls' 😊
You are spot on! Of course we will be on the case very soon - watch this space.
Only pulling your leg...I did enjoy the ingalls....simple innocent times...with the odd farm yard accident thrown in for good measure!...looking forward to the reno!
I would love to watch more videos of you cooking! Your Carrot top pesto and chicken pot pie ❤ were awesome. The fat kid in me that likes food says more please!😂
Thanks for translating at the end lolol 😂 I was wondering!
You guys are so cute. Need shirts with a picture if him carrying you off 😅
May I have your recipe for the chicken pot pie you aired. Biscuits as well please. Thankyou. Hey,why don't you put out a vookbook for healthy ating on a budget. I'll hppily send $5.00 for both recipes. Thank you
I would not go for GSHP seen loads of them and they never work, I would just go for a condensing oil boiler.
Our neighbour has one, works fantastic.... I suspect whichever you had seen were not spec'd / installed appropriately. The technology is well proven, even in really hostile climates - should work a treat in a temperate zone.
Magical place you have. Ducks would be good for slug control. Could make a stile to cross the boundary instead of opening the heavy gate. Just an idea. Have a great week!
Nice idea - thanks!
