- 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 its a big one as Sam removes the old thatch!

It is lovely to see a family working so hard together for a common cause.
Thanks. Think we all want to be in a house this winter.
Family bonding right there,love it❤❤❤
You got it all right there,the house the fields with wild flowers,the dog the chickens,the donkey.a piece of heaven.
Aww thanks. We feel very lucky.
That thatch will make amazing compost
Yes that's where its gone.
Sam and Bec, you are amazing! I look forward to seeing your progress every week. You're going to have a specular home when you are done.
Thank you. Fingers crossed. ♥️
I hope so too!
I found you a couple of months ago and binge watched till now. I am English, live in Turkey and between visiting England and my sister coming over to visit me, I have a big supply of Yorkshire tea !!!
Whenever you mention tea, you make me get up and make myself one!
I am so excited for your build, i love each stone you point. Toby made me cry. I'm so happy you found each other, he was waiting there for you all this while. Fate.
I watch many homesteads but why do you make me feel more attached..... Have a great week
Love that you make a brew when we mention it! Yorkshire Tea is Sam's favourite. Nothing else will do.
Watching a family work together to make a new home is priceless and precious. This is the meaning of the family unit and why no one should ever try to break it apart. Great job and hard work !!
So true!
That has to be the grubbiest job you’ve done so far! Good for you, Sam, and love the way the others chip in. Bec, you’re an amazing helpmate for Sam. Love this channel.
It was the job Sam was dreading but it went better than expected. But yes very grubby job. 🤣
Sam, that's what the original builders would have done. Used whatever was to hand. There was no popping in to the nearest retailers, or waiting for the next delivery. I love what you have done so far. And I absolutely adore your dog.❤❤❤
Yes they amaze us at how ingenious they were. Thanks for loving Nell. ♥️
Field engineering at it's finest, 👍💪🔨🇮🇪
Enjoyed seeing Toby, the chickens and the dogs in the beginning of this video.
I think I'm going to have to start calling you Jack Sparrow, Sam!
My eyes are still black
Your son is a good worker, a fine young man.
Wow! That was amazing. I am so impressed with all the hard work you are putting into this. Years from now you can tell your grandchildren about how you both built this place back up.
Its going to be awsome
Years from now your grandchildren can watch you building their house on you tube!
I have such a hard time comprehending the amount of thinking and physical labor that you are capable!🙃
I hope this work makes you feel so good. It’s gross, grubby but has a lot of punch for impact. Great work
It does! Thanks
Good job
Enjoy your well deserved shower & rest tomorrow. Need a break now & again
Nice weekend off my digging arm need it
The house is saying "thank you", I can start to breath again..😀🙂😃🙃
Demolition and hauling is so revelatory. It's always nice to see the "blank slate" emerge. Your space is wonderful and plenty of room for your family. Toby seems to be recovering nicely and all your homestead creatures are adorable. Thanks for sharing your progress.
Plenty of fire wood
We are grateful sometimes seeing other renovations that we have a bare bones house. Much easier as we are almost starting from scratch rather than undoing someone else's poor constructions/renovations. 👍
Thanks. I'm getting more excited about interior design now I can start to see the rooms evolve. 👍♥️
Magic another milestone thatch down 🎉
I have used many tools in our home but never a chain saw inside the place. Now I want to try it too, but me wife might leave me thinking I had gone daft ?? Back to the karate kicks to take a few boards down when necessary. Keep up the brilliant work you all are doing, this is truly a family that knows what it means to be a family. Slainte
You should! A chainsaw in the house is very handy. Maybe a tad dangerous, noisy and dirty but who cares 🤣
Such had work, God bless all of you!💚☘💚☘💚☘💚☘🙏
Total, absolute respect! No words to express my admiration and wonder at the hard, hard work and great attitude. God bless you and your lovely family as you pursue your dream.
Its Satisfying work
You found a nice batch of cured hay in the loft for Toby...
Urgh I'd never do that to poor Toby. 🤣
Great progress guys,what a horrible dirty job..but now out of the way..well done Sam👍
It was a good part to get over and done with
Absolutely epic.
👍
Bloody hell....what an epic week 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾. Not surprised that you all sleep well. Take care & get some rest this weekend. Recharge those batteries which have worked overtime this week....loves to you all from France...❤❤❤
Thankyou, it was a big week and there only goner get bigger
I could feel the age from that old bit of ceiling. Like stepping back in time. Glad you got it on camera, saved for posterity.
The music at the made the demolition seem epic. Brilliant.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. Took me a bit of choosing that one. 👍
That looked a filthy job. It came down easily at the end even though the clear up looked massive. Great stuff.
It was massive. Still clearing today! 🙄
Powerful work. Happy no rodents popped out of the thatch! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Us too! We did find a mummified rat though **shudders**
Proper grafter!
👍💪
Your chickens look so brave under the constant watch of the collie - the cat could use less watching! I'm amazed at how much structure you can bring down, but is that because you plan to remove the roof as well? Real impressed with salvaging the beams for later use. Love your show. More power.
Jasper was smacking Nell from under the bars a few mins earlier. They have her under control as do the hens. Poor Nell gets attacked & chased away a lot by the cockerel. They all have their pecking order. 😉

The crowning piece looked a bit like a corn dolly. I hope you haven't been upsetting the fairies
I hope not either 🫣
Wow! If that didn’t discourage the swallows, nothing will! 👏😊
Sadly yes. I feel bad for them but they need to find a new nesting spot. Next year we will put boxes up.
Excellent work and you sport the raccoon look well 😂😂😂
Wow!
👍
GOOD VIDEO
Thanks!
Seeing all that come down, especially that last bit was really satisfying! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done entire family. Shirley from South Australia
Doing an amazing job and I’m with the rest of the gang!! Hate spiders!!!!!🕷️
😂I actually didn't see any
Toby looks great.
Just super choice of music for the last part of Sam demolishing the upper beams, very moving, wonderful climax for an epic build or destruction
Thank you. Very glad you appreciated the music choice. 👍
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
WOW what a fantastic video! Watching Sam take down the thatching with that music in the background was epic. Well done to you all, I don’t know how you find the energy day after day but the results are amazing. xxx
We don't either 🤣 Thanks
Lovely to see a family building a home together keep up the good work and stay safe 💚
Thank you! Will do! ♥️
Sam you deserve only the best. You work like a slave. And it’s now starting to pay off. Remember to take time to just stand and look t your progress. You will be amazed how much you have done. And your boy too is awesome helping you clear some of the crap out of the house. I can see this adventure being the best thing for all the family. Sending best wishes and lots of support. Big hugs.
Most nights I'm outside day dreaming the next section to do
Как же мне легко дышится! Какая потрясающая работа! Обожаю, когда кто-то просто начинает и делает, когда многое кажется безнадежным, или слишком грязным! Удачи вам, ребятки!😊❤❤❤
I share your pain; I just moved to rural west of Ireland, and I'm gasping for a cup of Yorkshire tea!
Barry's Master blend loose leaf tea from Cork is as good as it gets. Fire in some maple syrup and a pinch of ginger. Full cream unpasteurized milk is key, 👍💪🔨🇮🇪
All that old thatch would make good mulch for the garden and eventually good compost for garden too. Waste not, want not.
You're all doing an amazing job!
Glad you think so!
I love Yorkshire Tea. Thank-goodness there were no spiders.😅 Your son is a real trooper too.
Well done Sam and Rebecca. I love to watch this channel❤😊
Aww thank-you
You had me on the edge of my seat. Holy _ _ _ _!!! Nice job!🙈😳😀
Hero's job! Spiders, cobwebs, mites, heaven only knows how much dirt, dust. You rock! 👍👍
Thanks 👍 Still recovering 🤣
You've done some incredible work there , it's odd that they didn't remove the old thatch when they previously set the metal roof on . Thank goodness you're a joiner by trade coz you've got a heck of a lot of woodwork coming your way this year , and great job with the shuttering and cement work too . Great to see the whole family joining in , teamwork is dreamwork . Thanks for the entertainment
All the roof timber is on route, looking forward to it
Perhaps the thatch was left for insulation.
Great idea to make the extention into a lounge/living room instead of a bedroom.
With a courtyard outside and a stone wall.
Lovely!
Thanks. I think it's a good decision. Can't wait to build that stome wall. ♥️
Ooh ma! I'm on the telly. Fame at last🙂.
Thats a great job you all did with rot removal and cleaning the house out.
That really was an epic fall towards the end . You could hear it in your voices it was a biggie.
Have a great week .
It was a super part of the renovation to be done mate, thanks again for the Yorkshire tea, I kept looking at the thatch roof thinking OMG the day will come when I have to remove it, I'm so chuffed that day has come and passed...onto the next bit now
great work you guys
Thank you!
Truely an amazing amount of work. You're really making progress
Glad you think so! It does feel like more progress now. Thanks b
They would make great firewood.😊
WHERE IS YOUR HARD HAT!!! Good to see you put it on but not for long. That was one heck of a job, please be careful!!! You both and son enjoy your tea, all earned it.
Plenty of wood for the winter!
Looks like you have a good supply of well seasoned fire wood from the thatch structure.
I'll make something out of it bud
Lovely in so many ways you two! Have a good night's sleep. ❤
Thank you! You too!
That was awesome! So fun to watch!😅
Thankyou
For sure. Give Toby a kiss from me please. Have a great week
Will do. Thanks so much.
I have been envious of the house renovations, but now I am even more envious because of the Yorkshire teabags! I have to pay a fortune for them here in Austria and have to plan ahead so that I don't run out as deliveries take a while!!
Oh no get stocked up
Leprechaun will come running out soon
🤣🍀
You look like Robert Smith from the Cure lol. Nothing like getting the filthy dirty work out of the way though . Nothing wrong with spiders in this part of the world they are harmless to humans x
Sweet mother of god that was an absolutely mankey job, Must be a great buzz having cleared it. Yes totally epic viewing on a wet sunday afternoon. Fair play.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it. It was a grim job to be fair.
Well done, it was a big dirty job but you’ve done it 💪
Well chuffed
You are doing a great job
And all the family working together.
Thanks 👍
Wow! Wow, Wow! It is amazing how much work you do and how hard and gross it is! If you had to hire it out it would cost a fortune. It sure shows how much you care for your family and future house. Both you and Rebecca work so hard! The music added to the epic- ness of the demo! Love and admiration from the heart land of the US to you.
Yes it was not a fun job and we had been dreading it but glad to say it's done thankfully. 💪
You had a whole human excavation team!! Congratulations! Have a cup 😊😊a tea!
Thank goodness we did. It was a lot of work just for Sam to tackle. 👍
I am enjoying watching your ADVENTURE. Please stay safe because demo can be taxing. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you! Will do! Glad you are enjoying the videos. ♥️
Haven't seen your daughter for a while, does she help with the chores and animals? Wha5 a slice of heaven it will be a year or two down the line😊 ps spoke too soon there she is bless her❤
Hi. Iz is very camera shy being a typical 13 year old self concious girl. She will help but prefers to stay off camera as much as possible. ♥️ Thnks for the kind message.
@@theirishhomestead completely understand none of us would want to make her uncomfortable at such a delicate age.....I hope school is going well for both of them in your new life x
T T starts Monday ! Relax.
Very true! Looking forward to it!
You are both fantastic. So inspiring to watch. Big week for you. Amazing x
Thank you so much!
Can’t believe the courage it took to tackle that job, 😊
It was one we were dreading to be fair.
Really enjoying watching your transformation.
Glad you enjoy it! Thsnks
Wow the sheer volume of material that came out was incredible- hard work! Great job on getting it done
It was an epic clearing up mission. Tidy site, tidy mind. 🤣
Best episode yet guys!! That thatch collapse at the end 💪🏻👌🏻
Thanks Ed. Glad you enjoyed it. Was very scary up there at that moment. 🫣
Holy mackerel that was some week. Well done I love the way you clean as you go along you can’t have a dirtier week than this. Looking forward to next Saturday 😊😊😊
Yes hate working in a mess! Makes everything harder
Love the Billie Joe Armstrong look. Another cracking vlog. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Well done. That's hard, dirty work. Seeing your face took me back to about 1968 when mev, my dad, and Uncle Alf dropped a bedroom ceiling in Grandma Riley's house. I was 8 years old. We were naive and forgot about 150 years' worth of soot. A complete blackout! You survived that well. Onwards. Regards, Stephen.
Uurrghh yes it was a dirty dusty job and one I won't be wanting to repeat anytime soon. It was grim!
Raised bed garden mulch/compost, a bonus,
Yes compost all the way.
Well thats 200 yrs.of thatch out of the way !! Thats a MAD dirty job !! The concrete work on the end of the walls looks good . I have done that sort of forming in my 45 yrs.of masonry and concrete experience now retired ! But vibrating the forms is a good idea !
Thankyou for your wisdom, I'm going to use a 20" disc cutter to get into the house, then point it all with portland
You can almost hear the walls breathe a sigh of relief as all that weight is removed. Played hard, done well!
We thought that! Sam said those very words.
Bloody marvellous. Well done. You are all stars. Stay safe.
Thanks.
Makes me itchy just watching this.
Yep can understand why.🤣
Lovely video. So filled with magical moments. Energy to the heart for our blessings and gifts. Energy to continue with the work of a dream. I hope you can feel the amazing appreciation from these comments. Appreciation for all who have been put in a place of their life’s journey to wish. Dream. Capture fulfill. The appreciation of a chance to share such a season of your dreams. Thank you. We are smiling. Crying. Hugging high fiving. In every video. Well done with them. So enjoyable. Blessings to you all.
Aww thanks that's such a lovely message. ♥️
Wonderful accomplishment ! That was one big messy job ! Your hard work will bring it's rewards ! You're a great team !
Thank you so much!
Well done Sam and Rebecca great work. Lovely to see you breathing life into these old traditional Irish homesteads. Great camera work by your young man. Looking forward to the next exciting episode. Stay safe!
We love the place. Just hope we do it justice. Thanks.
No one can say that you are not working hard.nice job 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Great episode,really enjoyed this one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, my heart nearly stopped when that big collapse happened. Bloody brilliant job, well done.
Thanks. It was a shock! 🤣🫣
Done is done keep on building the dream 😊☆
I love the way Sam didn't even question Bec when she asked if he shouldn't be wearing a hard hat, he just immediately stopped and got a hard hat and put it on 😊
Yes he knows when he's been told 🤣
hi a great team effort ,i understand the work involved in ripping it down as im a joiner .your best vid yet in my opinion ,💪💪💪💪👊👊.
Thanks mate, going to maybe make some balustrade out of all the wood
