Don't know what you call that wood in the ceiling over there, but in the US we call it 'tongue in groove.' You remind me of my Irish half, my Dad. He was never happier than when he was fixing, repairing or building something. Your enthusiasm for this old cottage is contagious. Good luck to you!
I saw part three first, was impressed enough, but wondered if I should see the first two. And the surprise to see the state of the area, at the start! You have put in so much work already, and I am excited to follow the process!
I'm glad you took the advice of other not to pull the old building down. That is a piece of our history and as you said, someone had a life there and probably raised a family there. With the price of property these days too making it so difficult for young people to get onto the property ladder it would definitely be worth keeping and maybe doing something with it for your kids possibly. I just think it would be class to save the old building anyway.
Man is recovering from a cold but still ploughs into his work, proper hard grafter Adrian. I can’t wait to see it fully opened up. There are new grants for them building so make sure to look into it soon.
You could always rent it out untill the kids are older.. class wee spot, and from watching your videos we know you'll do a great job. Inexpensive yet well done. Looking forward to the updates😊
How exciting.I love to see an old place brought back from the brink ,and these days there’s quite a few of those going on ,and I marvel at the enterprising souls taking them on and working miracles.I look forward to seeing your miracle take shape.Thank you.❤
I'm not sure the cottage is completely recoverable, but I applaud the man's idea ... something from the past 'up if not actually running again' stirs a part of my soul.
What a beautiful little old cottage, I was brought up on my grandfather’s farms when I was a little fella, miss those days. New subscriber this channel is great.
I'm *not* second-guessing! You're getting it done and fast! I'm just sharing my thoughts. I saw a later video first, when the house is an island in gravel. Seeing how wide the little woods were, I'm surprised you didn't leave a tree or two, out from the house a bit. I guess it might be a construction thing. Or wanting to choose your own plantings, maybe? Ah. Partly because of the power lines.
Great project Adrian, right up my street. I love to preserve as much old stuff around the place as possible rather than going in all gun's blazing - when you think of the effort and work put into these building's back in the day, the least we can do is give it some respect.
Oh my goodness that is a great home, can’t wait to see the finished house. I still have the roll windows in my home. My house is close to 98 years old. No insulation and wiring still the same. It was my mom’s and dad’s home. Blessings to you and your family 🚜🌳🤗
Adrian the best video yet, fantastic and they keep coming,you must have one hell of a following about your framing life. This achievement must make you very proud, as we the viewers really enjoy watching them.Job well done.👍.
From the USA, I love these restoration saving projects. Happy that you are going to save the house. Many Irish ancestors in my mothers family. Nason, Healey, McCormick's. Narragansett Bay
I think cutting wood brings us back to the roots of humanity and necessity. It taps into the fundamentals of survival, something most of us lost a long time ago. It embraces the simplicity of life, it encourages the manhood of working with your hands. Thats why cutting wood feels good even when it doesnt.
That is going to be so cool once you get it to the point that it's an actual house again... because who knows what the future holds for your family and your farm. Only the best, I truly hope.
Morning Adrian. Great new project. This will keep you busy through the autumn/winter. I am excited for you. I love watching these mystery building/clean up projects unfold.
A very satisfying day's work! And you can't but like a man who, spending his day out in the fresh air, working the land and cutting down trees but still needs a pine scented air freshener in the cab of his tractor. "You don't get much more Irish than that!" as me Grannie used to say!
Great to keep. Love that you keep all the nice logs for the fire. My Dad always said " The best crop a farmer can grow is houses but you can only do it once "
At first I was like-why would you cut down those mature trees?! And then I saw how close to the building they were-grown trees. No trees should within several meters of building, if you don't want it to collapse. As my granddad always says-as tall as tree is above ground as big are its roots beneath. Plus the possibility of tree colapsing on the building. So it is actually logical to cut them and perhaps if you want some trees you can plant new ones further away. I am looking foward what will come from this project. I definitely think it's worth keeping the structure.
A lot of people on here are saying get it done up and rented out but I think differently Adrian, I say tidy it up and everything so you can see what your working with and if you do things slowly it’ll be done by the time your children are ready for it, the biggest thing to do with it is to not rush, get it planned out and think things through, last thing you want is to make a mess of it for the next generation. No cutting corners or anything, do it once and do it right
Yes I agree, i like taking my time and doing a bit of research first. I will definitely do my best to get it right. First thing will be to make it water tight so it doesn’t deteriorate any further and then see what we can and can’t do regarding regulations. Looking forward to the challenge as this is the type work I really enjoy. 👍
This is fantastic! Love seeing an old house brought back to life. If you had water lines that near the surface here they would have frozen. Water lines must be 5 feet below grade minimum. Sewer lines are even deeper.
Awesome! Love seeing old houses being saved instead of being demolished. Your a man after my own heart with the chainsaw/cleaning up work, very satisfying. 👍
Don’t think it’s that simple though Michael, one viewer just mentioned it’s for a first time buyer and has to been there primary home. I’ll have to look into it properly to see what’s what
What a great project to get stuck into. That will keep you out of mischief for a year or so 🙂👍🏼I will enjoy following your progress, good luck with it mate.
Hiya Adrian when I saw the roof of the building awhile ago in one of your vids it never crossed my mind that you may own the property as you had never mentioned it before, anyway really looking forward to seeing the transformation into a usable home, and you can always rent it out as a holiday cottage until the kids are ready to live in it themselves.
Yea I honestly never really thought of it much till now, I won’t be getting any major work done to it for sometime but we will maintain it to keep it standing for sure. 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm main thing is to preserve the building so it doesn’t get any worse, even if you keep the tin roof and install some cheap secondhand windows doors and gutters… it’ll only go up in value
Great to hear Irish accent again after years away in America. Where I live don’t get to hear it at all . I’m a carpenter so can appreciate your desires Adrian . One note to you on videoing 👍 Keep your looking at camera as volume goes in and out also more to do with connection to audience . I’m from North East Clare originally and not much good farm land 😂. Nice utube …
Adrian just found your channel and I'm hooked! Really looking forward to see how this project works out. I too was happy to hear what your plans for the building are. Blessings from Shropshire mate.
Great wee project Adrian, as you say it's dry so thats a great start for a restoration job. Would be great to know who the last inhabitants were . Keep up the good work
Make a lovely little holiday cottage 🏡, and watch that paint work on the the loader don't scratch it 😀, looking forward to see what you have coming maybe a digger 🤔
You definitely should reno that building. Folks LOVE reno vids....you could get a lot of RUclips mileage fixing that place up. I would sure come by more often for that. 😉👍
Nice one Adrian, have to agree with you, always love cutting and clearing land, also, rebuild the house, you be amazed how many people would love to rent a small cottage in the countryside, keep at her Lad!
I love it! I can't wait to see what you do to the place. It would be wonderful if when your kids grow up to have a starter home away from home and one day you see a mess of grand kids topping the hill on their way to grandads. That would be a beautiful sight to see. :) :) Yes I know the cabin is too small for a mess of grand kids but you can build on at some point. :)
People will enjoy the process of restoration on YT. Your channel will increase in size with people enjoying the work and progress. I know I will. You also just pulled a couple cords of firewood out of there for the winter. I know what you mean about operating a chainsaw- I love that work too. Maith thu.
Hi Adrian, be sure to check on whether the corrugated material on the roof of the old cottage contains asbestos. You might need a specialist to handle it, as it is very hazardous to health.
I love those kinds of projects! Cracking little place to have especially if you could rent it out for a little extra income 🤔. I’ve come to learn you never pull a building down especially if it’s set up well under the years of mess. Good luck with it 🤞👍

What beautiful, lush country side and having a small cottage in the Midst of it, WOW, that is living.
What a hard working man
I'm not sure the cottage is completely recoverable, but I applaud the man's idea ... something from the past 'up if not actually running again' stirs a part of my soul.

I really hope a local woodturner got the Yew tree... that is highly prized wood.
Great project.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
So happy your not pulling it down , it deserves some TLC ❤
Great new project Adrian can't wait to see you clearing it up more and watch it change, keep up the good work and great videos

Really enjoyed watching and happy your going to rehab the place. Will of course follow your progress. Thanks for sharing, Deb
That is amazing! So glad you are leaving it up and fixing it. Lots of history in those walls. Love your videos!

Thats why cutting wood feels good even when it doesnt.
I thoroughly agree with you about occasional hard physical work. In later life I have become disabled and I miss it terribly.
That is going to be so cool once you get it to the point that it's an actual house again... because who knows what the future holds for your family and your farm. Only the best, I truly hope.
Morning Adrian. Great new project. This will keep you busy through the autumn/winter. I am excited for you. I love watching these mystery building/clean up projects unfold.
The wee cottage house 🏠 probably stayed in good nick 👍 because of all the trees 🌳 surrounding it protecting it from the elements
Yes I agree with you, we will have to weather seal it now when it’s fully uncovered.
Well I wish you the best of luck on your new project 👍
A very satisfying day's work! And you can't but like a man who, spending his day out in the fresh air, working the land and cutting down trees but still needs a pine scented air freshener in the cab of his tractor.

Absolutely amazing video. Please share more videos around the restoration.
There is a huge amount of work and unseen issues in that. It will be very rewarding when completed.
There definitely is, would take a lot of time and funding to restore it for sure. Over time we’ll get it sorted
Love it! It is so similar to ours in many ways. Really glad you're restoring it! ❤
Very satisfying bit of work there Adrian.
Government announced up to 50k
Grant for renovating derilect house's
at the ploughing coul
Don’t think it’s that simple though Michael, one viewer just mentioned it’s for a first time buyer and has to been there primary home. I’ll have to look into it properly to see what’s what
You asked what that wooden ceiling style would be called. In the US it's referred to as "tongue and groove."
I came from a later part when you put on the temporary window coverings. Didn’t realize it was all covered with brush and trees before!
Looks great Adrian I refurbished a house just like yours 2 years ago lots of hard work but great results best of luck with it
I watched the videos on the cottage backwards ending with this one, can't wait to see what you do with it. The whole area is beautiful 🥰
I did the same. Subscribed so I can see any further videos on this cottage.
Great to hear your not demolishing the old house,it will come in handy some day.
WOW I bet that little place was beautiful at one time. Did you see it when it was habitable?
And I enjoy watching you use your chain saw. :)
Great video Adrian.lovely project to get stuck into. Looking forward to seeing its progress.
What a great project to get stuck into. That will keep you out of mischief for a year or so 🙂👍🏼I will enjoy following your progress, good luck with it mate.
Cheers Ian
I love what he’s doing so interesting looking in depth at how people lived back in the day. Really enjoyed this video thank you
Great project for you Adrian very exciting bringing it back to life good luck with it

@@IFarmWeFarm Just getting the site cleared and keeping it water proof will be a major step in the right direction mate.
Looks like a fun project. To clear the surrounding a mulch head would come in handy.😎
Adrian, i think I'm as excited as you. Great work, looking forward to following this project. Wishing you well. Bob
Really interesting please show more of the work you do on this house.
Adrian always keep your phone with you when your working on your own. Unfortunately accidents do happen, stay safe
I fairness that’s a very good point David 👍
this was my favourite job clearing wood around farms wish i was still doing it
Great video you are 100%right to leave it be and do it up great to see them type houses been done up can't wait to see what they out come of it 😀 👍
Love that ur keeping the óld building its better built than a house u get now
Great to hear Irish accent again after years away in America. Where I live don’t get to hear it at all . I’m a carpenter so can appreciate your desires Adrian .

The potential of the house is amazing. I look forward to see what you do with it.

I’m so excited to see this project start up! What a great place to have your girls’ in the future!
Great to find this channel.... looks like there's no scarcity of money farming in good old Cavan.. love this type of thing.. Good luck..
You are a very busy man Adrian and i love youre videos
Great video Adrian. Love projects like that. Look forward to seeing the next phase.
You definitely should reno that building. Folks LOVE reno vids....you could get a lot of RUclips mileage fixing that place up. I would sure come by more often for that. 😉👍
Lots of work for one person. Great job!
Looking forward to seeing this project as it moves along week by week or as often as you can post videos on it. Best of luck with it.
Hi Adrian, great stuff lovely job its great to see you putting it back to life.
You may get a digger for yourself.
Keep the good work up
Some project to take on Adrian, knowing your style of doing things there'll be no short corners taking. Looking forward to seeing project completed.
Once again Adrian your working magic your grand children could be greeting you in that house some day,best of luck
Great video, it's funny how long we've all been watching the channel and never even knew about it 😂
Adrian u are a great worker, u never seem to rest great man love u videos as aways, kieran from Laghey donegal town
Really enjoyed the video 😁 Thank you for sharing 🙏 🌸☺️ NZ
Nice one Adrian, have to agree with you, always love cutting and clearing land, also, rebuild the house, you be amazed how many people would love to rent a small cottage in the countryside, keep at her Lad!
Great project, properly built. I have a machine coming in this week for a clear up, pretty sure I won't find such a treasure! Great video Adrain
Nice little Holiday let. I would come over and see you and stay there.
Stunning to think you are going to turn this place around! What happen to all the windows? Were the taken out and reused or just broken out by kids?
Congratulations on purchasing it.
Thanks Lad
Well done adrian very exciting project be a shame to pull it down looks to be a strong well built house brilliant video
Great job Adrian, a going wee place many years ago, knowing you, it will be a good job when finished, as always, a nice project.
Good luck! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing this through.
Great video and wonderful camera work. Thanks.
I love it! I can't wait to see what you do to the place.

So sad that not one tree could be saved. Not one for summer shade or winter wind protection. 😢
Good position for access to that top shed👍🏻
People will enjoy the process of restoration on YT. Your channel will increase in size with people enjoying the work and progress. I know I will. You also just pulled a couple cords of firewood out of there for the winter. I know what you mean about operating a chainsaw- I love that work too. Maith thu.
looking forward to watching you clear up the site and turn that house into a livable building Adrian
We will be finished the site tomorrow, it’s all cleared. Looks very different now.
Hi Adrian, be sure to check on whether the corrugated material on the roof of the old cottage contains asbestos. You might need a specialist to handle it, as it is very hazardous to health.
No thankfully all clear there Gerry, ya there was a lot of asbestos used in them days
I love those kinds of projects! Cracking little place to have especially if you could rent it out for a little extra income 🤔. I’ve come to learn you never pull a building down especially if it’s set up well under the years of mess. Good luck with it 🤞👍
Great Video. Best of luck with it. Do you remember the folks that lived there? Always fascinating walking around those kind of places.
Great video again Adrian.
That old house is very interesting! Can’t wait to see when you start the work
Can't wait until you begin work on the property. Great video Adrian. 👌👌
Great video Adrian! With the way planning regs are going you'd be mad to knock something like that!
