We are- a family of four,
Mum- Annie,
Dad-Bruce
Two children Elsie and Betsy
One dog - Doug
2 Cats - McTat and Ash
2 Pygmy Goats - Treasure and Bell
1 Sheep - Luan
2 Budgies - Disco and Big Budge
and we decided to trade our busy life as home and business owners to chase the dream we’ve harboured for 10years.
How did we get here
After years of saying one day, we finally realised that these opportunities don’t just land in your lap and if we seriously wanted to make a difference to the Earth then we were going to have to stop talking about it and do it!
We sold all our stuff, got rid of the mortgage, sold our camper conversion business and landed in a dream come true. After traveling in our van we settled here in the west of Ireland. A place that has always been special to us. Annie is half Irish and since we met 13 years ago and she took me to meet her family i fell in love with Ireland too.
Now we’ve made this dream a reality there is no stopping us! our plan is to work hard, meet new people and learn new skills that will guide us on our journey of permaculture and creating a way of life that sings to us. One where we aren’t bound to the banks, working every hour and outsourcing all of our needs. A simple way of life, with connection to ourselves, each other, the earth and our community.

Earthsong, thats still going, how lovely!
💖🙏🌻
It is Annie’s first one
Nice one Bruce. It's not the fall, but the sudden stop that causes the pain and injury mate haha.
That’s very true 😂 hopefully it knocked a bit of sense into me
It’s looking great!
Thanks guys 😊
Well done Bruce.
Thanks Michael 🙏
Someone knows quality. Nice.
Thanks 🙏
Absolutely amaziiiiiiiig job Bruce, and loved the piggy’s. Tony UK
Thank you. They are such clever animals
Great job, well done. Will it be a part time helipad when not a yurt base?? 😉
😂 it seems strong
Bit late watching this episode, sorry! But I had to tell you something that has given me a laugh.
After you said Annie and the girls had gone to Earthsong you continued with the gurt building and said it was very hot, you needed to change into something more weather appropriate. Then next shot of you was walking with timber between the joists. Obviously you have changed into beige shorts, but from the angle and quick glimpse it looked like you were naked from the waist down! 😳🤣🤣🤣 I’d say I need to go to spec savers, but I have my glasses on, haha. Made me chortle.
Haha I actually thought the same during the edit
Yurt deck looking great Bruce. You did a really excellent job! Annie will love Earth Song, it's fantastic. Enjoy some time to yourself too 😉
I’d say it’s right up Annie’s alley. I have plenty to distract me at the moment 😊
Love your channel, been catching up with the video's. I had to look up weever fish. Seems like they can be a pain in the foot!
Oh they are very painful and the treatment is really hot water
Great work Bruce
Thanks John
Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Looks fantastic so far
It’s going to be beautiful when it’s finished
Brilliant job so far. Can't wait to see the next bit.
It’s going to be beautiful when it’s done
Clever girls teaching your pigs to sit. I didn't know if the kune knue pigs were as smart as the bigger breeds 😅
They are super smart :)
Nice work!
Thanks 😊
Super channel Bruce. Keep going
Thanks Mark
Great video! Well done :D
Well I didn’t see Keith’s super dupa nail gun!! Brilliant job Bruce, done 👍
I didn’t have the right length nails for it unfortunately and they only sell large quantities so had to do it the old fashioned way. 4 inch nails and a hammer and still have more noggins to nail in 😂
I've really been enjoying your videos this week. Don't think I didn't notice how well you pitch-matched the post bolts going in to the music at 07.36...genius!
Thanks Nik. I will have to watch that bit back again now to see what you mean :)
@@OffGridBruce The four descending notes during the blues turnaround - you've synced everything beautifully, but the actual notes the impact driver makes match those in the tune...you're not telling me that's coincidence?! Amazing either way.
I did edit to the beat but no pitch changes just a beautiful coincidence :)
Morning bruce thats the trouble with these cameras you pay the earth for them and they dont like the heat its bad i no they are not cheap you they would sort them out your daughter is a lucky girl untill next time.
Morning Toni. I’m extra cautious since I had it repaired. They love the silk. Betsy got it for her birthday
Just love your videos super interesting ❤️ great job 👏
Thanks Terry 😊
Great job Bruce..
Thanks Gerry
Yes dimensions would be amazingly appreciated
I will have to get on to some CAD
Looks like it's gonna be beautiful that yurt , interesting to see it coming together bit by bit . Piggies are gorgeous and yes very intelligent people don't realise u can train them like dogs 🐖🐖. Looking fwd to next episode Bruce 💪 👏
It’s going to be an amazing space
💖😊💖
Great Job Bruce xx
Thanks Fi 😊
Your work is very cool. You're a real man! I will be grateful if you have time to create a sketchup. My dream is to build a yurt here in Ukraine this summer or next(just like example of simple house for people who lost their houses)
Thanks. I haven’t got round to that. What diameter are you wanting to build
I would definitely pay for your plan. You never know what lies head.
Thanks Danny.
Curtain Sider not Curtailed
Great job is your floor plan on a download yet if so is it available please .
Hey paul I haven’t made a download for it as there didn’t seem to be much interest. What size yurt are you going for?
Wow, SO much work is going into the yurt base - one has no idea! Nice to hear the budgies, pigwigs adorable, hope bees settled in ok. First hive inspection here next week, I’m second in command & clueless apart from making up sugar solution but do now have a proper suit & gloves. Bees loving their new wbc hive. Where have the girls all gone to?
💖🐝💖
It would be a lot less work if it was on a flat site. Good luck with your bees. The girls are at a 9 day festival called earth song
Are you using decking boards for the deck?
What diameter is it? Looks big??
Certainly looks strong enough to me!
Be a good base for an off grid roundhouse like Kris Harbour’s…….
It’s 21ft. I’m putting normal t&g floorboards and staining them for a nice rustic effect. I wanted to get reclaimed boards but they wanted more for that than new ones 😂 I said to annie if we ever moved the yurt somewhere else I could build a cool structure on it
@@OffGridBruce I used to use secondhand timber on all my buildings…. until covid 😳
I used to get it for free or very little…. New seconds timber is now cheaper than reclaimed!
We are going for planning permission for 2 Scottish “huts” on Ghost Haugh Wood to hopefully rent out as off grid holiday accommodation, I’d love to build one like kris harbours house…
Fantastic work Bruce ..😍 I'm working on 28' ex fridge box body and adding a 25'curtailed frame at 90 degrees on the open end..which will be fitted with a lot of double glazed windows n Wood Stove...🤔 Did you make any. Progress on clearing the Campervan ??? 🤔😎
That sounds absolutely awesome! I literally just got paper work back from the dvla denying me again so I’m going back to England and bringing through the port and see what the Irish authorities say and go with that
looking at ruclips.net/video/h0EkJgddl2c/видео.html, I feel I can definitely say that it's a man's world 😄
