I’ve felt really lucky to follow along with this series. You might not realise it, but you’re a godsend to anyone who didn’t have a da themselves to teach them these things. From those of us who are aspiring to your level of handiness, and wanting to fix up our communities - thank you. Not only do you explain your process clearly and give useful tips about farming and repair, you do the same teaching about what it means to be a hardworking, humble, and dedicated man. I hope your own father recovers quickly, and that he can take a well deserved break without guilt knowing that his son is setting the best kind of example for the next generation.
It's nice that your father is 92 years young. My own father is 97 years old, but he is living in a Senior's Home with his 92 year old 3rd. wife. His first one was my deceased mother.
Get better soon, iFarm senior! There are worse places to be than nice and warm in hospital with all your needs being taken care of by nurses and a couple of lads to talk to. I wouldn't want to be in a US hospital, but an Irish hospital is probably a much nicer prospect.
not anymore im afraid our hospitals are gone to hell here now all the money goes to the people in suits in fact you would get a vet quicker now than a docter
I wish I had a man as handy as you are about my place, I’ve plenty needs doing. Great work, Adrian. Just putting the new doors on has smartened up the place no end and gives the house a lived in feeling, it’s going to be lovely when you’ve finished it. 👏👏👏👌
Came for the cottage, stayed for the farming and the digger restortion! Hope your old man is on the mend soon. Also, the 100k must only be hours away!!! Great content, keep at it.
I'm really enjoying these cottage video's. You are doing a fantastic job of it. Best wishes to your Dad, I hope he recovers well and returns home fit as a fiddle. It sounds like he might want an extended stop in hospital though!!!!!!!!
I hope your dad has a speedy recovery, I know things take longer to heal at that age. Congratulations on reaching 100,000 Subscribers 🎉. Great job getting the lighting into the cottage even if it is temporary. The weather here has been better, we have had nearly two weeks with only a small amount of rain and the ground is now drying out. I hope you get your fertiliser spread, that is going to be a lot more work with the quad over using a tractor but needs must.
That is so great to have lights going through the building. It really makes a structure come alive and feel homey. Very interesting to see how much different this house is built versus ones in the USA.
Good work,love your abilities! The door frame concrete ends are to keep the timber doorframe off the ground, keeping them dry, and the spike holds the frame.
I'm so glad to find this program on an Irish old house as I'm always watching the Chinese restorations . I also love that he explains everything , great stuff . Cathy
Very exciting to see the next steps towards this project. I found you because of this house but I’ve watched every week over the last year because of your humor & ingenuity around the farm. Wish your Dad is back home with you soon. My Dad is 90 on Tuesday and he’s only a month after breaking his shoulder in a fall. My Dad worked hard his whole life and it’s tough seeing him suffer but it’s been great being the one to care for him Adrian, you’re really a jack of all trades & your videos make me laugh. Can’t say that’s ever happened for me on a farming channel Wishing you a warm & dry few weeks. You all need it ✌️💚
Hi Adrian, best wishes for a speedy recovery to father ❤️, in some older properties the door frames / jambs are spiked to a plinth using steel spikes for anchorage it also keeps it out of the wet/damp for longer life.
Hopefully your Dad will soon be back on his feet. It's clear Adrian that you have inherited something of your Dad's indomitable spirit. It is heartening to watch you breath life back into the old house. Best wishes John
It’s good your dad is getting on so well in hospital. Hope he has a fast recovery. Drinking water promotes healing, my mother was told when her femur was broken. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Adrian. Hope your father is better and home soon. Just know no matter how old you are your parents will still treat you like your are 3 or 4 years old. My mom is 75 and still treats me like i'm 4 and I'm 54. LOL the cottage will be great when you get the time to do what you want to do to it. God Bless your family and Farm.
First off best wishes to you dad for a full recovery, great to see the work on the cottage starting, you can turn your hand to all kinds, also fair play to you Adrian and all the family on recent program on tv, raised by the village, great viewing. 👍👏🇮🇪
How nice for your dad to have hospital mates to talk farming with! Wishing him a speedy recovery, and you some weather breaks. Brilliant video, as ever.
Hopefully your dad is out of hospital soon. You got those doors in just in time. What a very neat finish. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the renovation.
It’s going to take a while Adrian but I know that you will get it done. Sure ya nearly have the house “rewired” already.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. . You are a man with a plan. Well done. I’m so sorry about your dad, although Im delighted for him that he has good company in the hospital. Hopefully he will ❤be able to get home soon. It’s funny Isent it, no matter how old we are, our parents will always treat us as if we are still children. Bless them all and look after each other. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love following along on this rehab. I keep imagining myself in that space when it is done. On another note, so sorry your Dad was hurt and glad he is content in the hospital. My oldest sister was int the hospital last Fall and she told me it was “delightful”. 😂 “They are all so nice here”. It’s a true sign of a great person when they can see the best in a crummy situation. Cheers from Bay Village, Ohio.
I have a Land Commision house built in 1952 which is mass concrete. All the heads of the door frames were built into the concrete the same as yours. Instead of concrete lintels there are two lengths of box section steel about two inches up into the concrete. Yours may be the same. If they are over the doors they will be over the windows as well. I'm renovating mine and getting close to finishing it. Lots of hard work but if you can do it yourself you'll save a fortune. All you need is time and lots of it. Best of luck and I'll certainly be watching it
The blocks of concrete on the bottom of the door frames was to keep the frame from rotten the pin was put into the frame before it was fixed then the blocked wer caseed and filled with concrete I don a few of them with my father I am enjoying the work on the house
Adrian, the blue socket you put on the outside of the house for connection to the generation should be a “inlet” type and not a socket, to connect your generator in the current set up you will need a lead with a male plug on both ends and could cause a situation where one end is plugged in and you have bare live pins at the other end
Brilliant comment. I came on to warn about this also. The solution about turning the generator off first doesn’t work as it only takes one mistake to get a shock. Easy to put right as stated by someone else. Electrician here also. Thanks for the videos
wishing your Dad good health. I came originally for the cottage reno, as I know nothing about farms. Now I watch the farm bits just as avidly as the cottage reno! I am too old to need any of this knowledge, but I am loving it.
I like the looks of the doors. They look like they belong on that house. Lights are important to have so you can work on the house when it is cloudy. Sorry to hear about your dads fall. Hopefully it will not be a long hospital stay.
I remember having a discussion with my dad one time about what we thought was the most important invention of the 20th century. We settled on the lightbulb, because it turned night into day. Hope your dad is keeping better Adrian, and looking forward to watching more of this restoration. There is something special about restoring an old place; it's a labour of love and adding to the history of those who lived in it before you. Have a think about keeping those lightswitches as well; they're a link to the past of the cottage.
Hello , The doors look realy nice . A nice begin ing . The rain 🌧️☔ puts a damper on every thing . Take care . I am sorry about your dad , spunds like hes getting a warm good treatment , thats what we want to hear . Look forward to farming .
Please keep doing these videos your the best with information and banter along the way. We are hoping to do similar don't know where to start at moment but your helping the motivation 💯💯
Jasus Adran 😮. You're almost at 100k subscribers and your videos have close to 24.5 million views, no doubt from all around the world. That is absolutely fantastic. Fair play. Continued success & good health to you and yours. P.s. we have sunshine here in cork today, like 😊
This might sound a bit amateurish but I actually didn’t know the view count , i never checked in ages 🤷🏻♂️. It’s good fun making these videos and interacting with people. Thanks very much 👍
I love how you show the struggles and not just a super edited version. It's like watching my Dad fix things as I used to do. So glad your Dad is ok. I lost mine when he was 92 from COPD and even though that was in 2010, I still miss him. Looking forward to you getting the fertilizing done and I am hoping for better weather for you!
Glad to see you wearing your mask. You just can't be too careful with these old buildings. Don't forget your earmuffs and protective goggles too when needed. Good luck! ❤
Hope your Dad makes a fast recovery. Looks like a few days of fair weather in the forecast but the ground is just wringing wet. Hoping it improves now.
I'm an older lady, I'm on my own with that said, trying to make a derelict old cottage livable is my dream.

That’s a very nice comment which I appreciate greatly
"I'll fix that" may be the three most common words said in this wonderful restoration project. Wishing your grand old dad a speedy recovery.
Looks like it's ready to rent out . Omg what a pit
Cottage looks well with the doors, and the lights, wish your Dad a speedy recovery
It's nice that your father is 92 years young. My own father is 97 years old, but he is living in a Senior's Home with his 92 year old 3rd. wife. His first one was my deceased mother.
You are blessed to have your dad so long. I lost my dad when I was 14 back in 1981 . Enjoy every day you have with him . Great video as always.
Get better soon, iFarm senior! There are worse places to be than nice and warm in hospital with all your needs being taken care of by nurses and a couple of lads to talk to.

I was 14 when my daddy died I was the only girl and I was a daddy's girl.
I’m loving your video’s, loved to hear your story about your dad, the older folks make the best of everything, hope he makes a speedy recovery
I’m so pleased to see you start work on the cottage. I’ve really been looking forward to this project.
Really think the door you just installed suits the cottage!
I wish I had a man as handy as you are about my place, I’ve plenty needs doing. Great work, Adrian. Just putting the new doors on has smartened up the place no end and gives the house a lived in feeling, it’s going to be lovely when you’ve finished it. 👏👏👏👌
Be careful what you wish for 😄 😁
@Open20penUT
Boy, isn’t that the truth! He’d be kept busy the first 6 months at my house with all the repairs needed!
love the smile the lighting gave you mate, you're smile was as bright as them lights.
Your countryside is beautiful! Praying for your dad 🙏
Best wishes to your dad cottage coming along nicely
Great to hear one of our own - nothing ever thrown out - it might come in handy again - great production with sound advice and a great attitude -
Lovely to see the smile on your face when the lights worked, its infectious. Glad your Dad is happy, here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
This!!

Well done Adrian hope Dad is home soon and asking those questions in person 😀
One man and his tools , another great job Adrian .
Good job. Gifted some job when finish
Adrian, the blue socket you put on the outside of the house for connection to the generation should be a “inlet” type and not a socket, to connect your generator in the current set up you will need a lead with a male plug on both ends and could cause a situation where one end is plugged in and you have bare live pins at the other end
I was thinking the same
Yup. Electrician here. Lethal dangerous but easily put right.
Very valid point that🤔The only thing he could do is not fire the generator up until both males are plugged in and nothing live exposed
Plug the lead into the wall socket before plugging into the generator. And unplug from the generator before unplugging from the wall socket.
Brilliant comment. I came on to warn about this also. The solution about turning the generator off first doesn’t work as it only takes one mistake to get a shock. Easy to put right as stated by someone else. Electrician here also. Thanks for the videos
Another great video Adrian hope your dad gets better soon 👍👍👍
Your "new" doors are a big improvement on what was there before and it looks to be a mighty fine installation for a temporary fix! - well done.
Mighty job with the lights and doors. Great to see you heading for the 100,000 subscribers. Speedy recovery to your Dad.
Good work. Best wishes to your Dad.
wishing your Dad good health. I came originally for the cottage reno, as I know nothing about farms. Now I watch the farm bits just as avidly as the cottage reno! I am too old to need any of this knowledge, but I am loving it.
Never too old 👍
Grand job wish your father speedy recovery

Nice to see the work started. Yes, light makes so much difference. How about a plug simply for recharging your batteries while you are there?
the cottage is looking good! I can't believe how brutal the weather in the UK has been this Spring. all the best to your dad.
