- WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! - FULL TOUR of our 200 year old traditional stone COTTAGE. (Moving to Ireland)
This is it folks, we FINALLY have the keys to our dream home in Ireland! We cannot wait to share this ancient traditional stone cottage with you, and we can now give you the full house tour!
It's going to be quite the restoration project, as we attempt to take this little Irish cottage back to its original state (with some modern comforts of course) but the plan is to use traditional as much as possible materials such as lime plaster and horse hair!
It's going to be quite the learning curve, and one hell of a journey, but we are hoping to make our little homestead as off grid as possible as we build a life in remote Ireland, we do hope you're coming along for the ride, something tells me its gonna get interesting.. hit subscriber to see how we go!
As always, thank you for watching.

Hopefully you are enjoying this European travel series as much as we are and we are managing to show you just some of the stunning landscapes that France has to offer in this French travel vlog.
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, some cinematic scenery mixed with our usual female van life foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!
Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempt to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home.

A VERY POLITE REQUEST - Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing great! Just a quick one, if you happen to know, or recognise, where we have chosen to buy, we’d really appreciate it if you didn’t give our location away in the comments. Given the trouble we’ve had in the past we want to be as discreet as possible with where we are, hope you understand.
Secondly, thanks to all the Irish who have so far been overwhelmingly welcoming, it means a lot.
Thirdly, hope you all love our new home as much as we do and we can’t wait to share all the ups and downs of restoring this place with you all! 😃
It's going to be a great place to make home
It's going to be great, I'm so pleased for you both and AJ and Summer . Have a wonderfully time renovating it. You will love the experience then when it's finished you did it. 🎉
I'm so glad you can't see through RUclips to the other side, cause I just watched all of that with a stupid smile on my face! 😂 So exciting for you and I'm so happy you shared it with us.
so sad when common sense has to be explained, but you have done the right thing girls...
I was expecting it to be falling asunder but, from what I’ve seen, it looks a great wee spot on a nicely manageable plot. Exciting times ahead for the 4 of you! It’s always nice to see people who fall for Ireland make a huge commitment and come and live here. I hope we as a country live up to your expectations! The very best of luck to you, you’re Irish now!! 🤣
I'm a grown man of 52 this year and I will admit to having happy tears in my eyes watching this, your complete happiness and joy. I will probably never get to live my dreams so you go girls and live it for me, so heartwarmingly happy for all 4 of you x.
Was just about to type the exact same comment. 🥲 50yrs in 3 days time, and have given up on my dreams now, but love their content, and wish the girls all the best.

Never give up, life begins at 50
@@bjrn-steinarhanssen2102don’t give up on your dreams! My other half is 50, I’m 52 and disabled. We’re converting an old water pumping station to fund our retirement dream in Cumbria and we’re picking up our first van to convert this week.
You guys are awesome, thank you 🙂🙂
Guys you are still so young! I am 59 soon and still am thinking about what else can I do. 😆 Life isn't over at 50!
The cat will love checking out all the out buildings.
My wife and I are very excited for you both. Have a lovely Life in your fabulous new home.
I don't know why I am so excited about something that has nothing whatsoever to do with me! It's funny how involved in random RUclips channels you can become. Very happy for you both. I think you're going to be very happy here. Looks amazing. AJ's reaction was just adorable.
Thank you, we are glad we can share this with you guys 😀
I know, me too.
Oh wow, congratulations what an amazing home. I'm honoured to be invited along this awesome journey with you. Will be excited with every video you make well done ladies ❤❤❤
I feel the same.. once i saw they had the keys ..ive been checking ALL day for this video.. 😂
I feel exactly the same!
I'm smiling so hard along with you two my face hurts .
Me tò, my face hurts😂
Me too-so glad for these 2 funny wonderful human beings and the animals will love it❤
Me too😂
So excited for you girls. We moved to France 4 years ago, into a farmhouse with lots of out buildings. I carried on my business as a handyman and gardener and love it over here. I remember the first day we came over with our caravan. We were so excited and that excitement has never left us. I hope you are as happy as we are, take care and look forward to your videos and adventure.
My first time here.
I have already see who is the dreamer and who is practical 😊
The Excitement and Happiness you are both giving out in this video brought tears to the eyes of this old man. I haven't seen anyone so happy for so many years you two are just a joy to see. Thanks for allowing me to see how great life can be after all the stresses youve endured on the way to this fantastic day. Change the locks Lou. Em will never feel safe there alone without you putting a decent lock on the door. Grandad advice - always change the locks you never know who has been handed a copy of the old ones.
Thank you and so glad we can share this with so many lovely people. Don’t worry the whole door will be changed 😂🥳
I Love you two and your animals too.
It was the happiness of the animals that done it for me 😁
Love you two ,but your fur babies in there new home, aah😢😂its so lovely to see happiness.
Good luck and years of love ,fun and happy Times ahead ❤
Looked like a skeleton key, that's gotta be old.
Melted my heart watching Summer and AJ be so evidently delighted ❤❤❤
My tip is dont gut everything to start with, i did that and ended up taking nearly 2yrs before i could move in. I would suggest concentrate on the outbuildings, do the workshop you will need it, do the office space so you have somewhere comfortable in the day and evenings, dont touch the bath and the kitchen till last. Sleep in the van if worried about the mould, and then even though you are ripping the walls, try to concentrate on a room at a time. Obviously roof first but you know that already. Also the damp could just be as its empty.. if you get the fires working and heat clean and air it, it might be okay
Fires are definitely needed and thanks
I’m weeks behind on your updates - but it’s so nice to see you both finally in, to hear of your plans and to see how the kids (AJ & Summer) have already taken to your new home. Really happy for you.
I’m 1st generation American. Dad from Co Tyrone Mom from Dublin. They brought all 6 kids from Brooklyn to Trillick Co Tyrone in 1970 to an old Station House in the middle of the country -no electricity. We survived and were stronger for it. This is a FABULOUS property you own girls!! Wow! Excited to be along for the entire journey. Lots of videos. We don’t care if they are unedited ! We want to see everything! ❤🫶🏼👏🏽🏡🛁🔧⚒️🛋️🚽🤸♀️
That’s amazing 🇮🇪
I have never felt more joy from watching a video..congratulations!
Congratulation girls. Myself and my wife we are Polish but living in Ireland for the last 20 years, so we call ourselves Irish by now :-) Only 3 years ago we fulfilled our dream of a house in the countryside. We are only 10mins form the next small town, but the house in nature is amazing especially having 3 year old twin girls which enjoy the surroundings a lot. Ireland is beautiful and people here can't compare with any other country they are just amazing. Weather could be better ,but you can't have everything in your life :-)
Sounds lovely 😀😀
On behalf of all the Irish people. We would like to apologise for the weather. 😂
@@CrepidoOne 😂🤣 we accept your apology, although where we are from it’s not much better lol! Besides, it wouldn’t be this beautifully green here if it weren’t for the shite weather 😃😂
I'm crazy happy with and FOR yous! Welcome home.
There’s nothing more enjoyable in the world than watching good people being very, very happy !
I’ve been watching your vids for a long time and I’ve got a feeling I’ll be watching them for a long time to come… I’m looking forward to the Journey😊
The positive side of your new home is that you have a lifetime to upgrade it. Enjoy!!!
I’ve never seen AJ so animated before. The animals have found their home! Congratulations to you and all!
Animals pick up vibs from spaces and they are telling you this is a happy place with a great vib. Sooo excited for you all 🎉
I'm delighted for ye both....welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks
A good sign to see the grass growing up the middle of the road.. Always liked that. Best of luck with her
CONGRATULATIONS. I nearly cried watching your excitement, and AJ and Summer’s reaction to their new home. It’s going to be a beautiful home for you all 🤗💕
The animals loved the property. They were more excited about it out of all of you. Lol.
AJ’s reaction makes all those months of anticipation absolutely worth it.
So happy for you both. It’s clear to see just how much you both love it (it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, it’s yours, your new family home ).
So true 🙂🙂
You can see that AJ and Summer KNOW that this is their house and they are so glad to have the space. Your new place is gorgeous. I know it will take a lot of work but that will only prove to make it more "YOURS".
AM SODELIGHTED FOR ALL OF YOU, TEARS OF HAPPINESSOM SEEING SUMERS AND AJS REACTION. YOUR GONNA NEED MORE CATS,DOGS DONKEY-----------
Eventually maybe but we will still travel for a few years yet in between the Renos
What beautiful land you guys found, omg I have tears in my eyes, just the landscape is breathtaking. Wishing you guys all the happiness in the world. Can’t wait to see what’s done with this land art.
Thank you for taking the time to show us your new home. I'm happy for your new adventure ❤😊
My heart is bursting seeing Summer outside exploring her new home. AJ stole the show today , he was more excited than even you Emily. Welcome to Ireland girls, i hope ye still love it when the novelty wears off and the rain is relentless. Fabulous property cant wait to see you transform it ❤
Oh girls. What a property. What a prize. Now you 4, enjoy this. Its fabulous. Really fabulous. You couldn't ask for more.
Hello, good to see your enthusiasm for renovating the cottage. I have renovated 3 properties in FRANCE all stone built and with compacted earth floors. Now a bit of reality you will need to damp proof the floors and insulate the external walls. Stone built walls no matter how thick are a heat sink. Don’t be mislead by going for a natural wall appearance,in winter you need to be warm in your hose.
Old stone buildings need to 'breath' therefore they need a special insulation board that won't trap moisture in. The board recommended to me was called 'Calcitherm'. Hope this helps! Looking forward to following you on your exciting journey. Best of Luck and welcome to Ireland!
All the best with your new house in Ireland Ladies.And remember,in Ireland,summer begins the 21st June and lasts all day..🤗
AJ matched Emily's obvious glee perfectly. Congratulations, it's wonderful!
Dehumidifier,gas cooker, a small generator and a water butt outside incase of blackouts from storms in Ireland .These are a must for rural living. 😊
AJ & Summer literally acted like they knew this was their home. That was a joy to watch both of them getting inside for the first time.❣️ Summer is going to be the Queen of the Manor for sure. I have two leash trained kitties myself - Charlie and Kiva. I bet they would just love summer.
Don't forget to dance on those kitchen tyles to the Irish music. The kitchen is where everything happens in Ireland. That kitchen table could tell stories. Welcome to Ireland xxxx
Absolutely no negativity from me girls. I'm so happy, nay thrilled for you. I come from a long line of Irish people and I'm almost sure my great grandmother lived in a house just like this. You never know, it might have been this one. 😊❤
How cool would that be
Oh my days!!! My heart !!! When AJ went in the house, his excitement was just too cute bless him. I couldn't stop smiling!!! I wish you all the very best....Wow what a project! I'd be loving it too ...I was so involved in watching that, that anyone would think its my house 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
😂😀🐕
Welcome girls to Ireland I also have a old stone built cottage we brought moved from U.K. to Kerry and we are loving it I’m on a site on Facebook and you get a lot of helpful Information for old properties on it ,hope this might help along the way with your restorations it’s called Derelict/vacant house restoration Ireland
That’s awesome, oh yeah Lou is on that one and I think a 100 more 😂😂😂
Seeing AJ and Summer - brings a tear to my eye at how happy they are! Loved AJ's antics. 🥰
Lovely House, Lovely owners, Lovely animals. Many congratulations, Health, Wealth & Happiness to all of you
Congratulations ladies. So excited for you all , it’s heart warming to see AJ & Summer enjoying their new surroundings ❤
We are just thrilled for you! Cheers!
Your shared excitement is literally emitting pure joy through the screen. AJ and Summer are buzzing .Fab News 🎉
AJ & Summer seal of approval 🥰
Considering you are all about vanlife.....this has to be up there with your best ever video!! The excitement, happiness and love was just off the scale! Love the house btw.......
Wow, thank you 😀
Well said. This was a great episode !!
Oh my life, I just LOVED watching you two. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Can't wait to see what you do with your property xxx
Omg congratulations ladies xxxx I have to admit watching AJ and summer actually brought a tear to my eye xxx
They were so excited 😀🐈⬛🐕
The smile on your faces on the ride there. I have that smile watching it 😊
I must admit to blubbing, feeling your excitement, and especially at seeing AJs reaction. There are no words to describe how happy I am for you. It really is a beautiful place. Congratulations! ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🙏
Wow, thank you
Watching AJs sheer joy at his new home was the best.
Welcome to the constant rain and no sunshine.
We had sunshine for the last 3 days so not constant lol.
Oooohhhh girls! I couldn't keep the smile off my face, either! We are both so thrilled for you. Looking forward to coming on this restoration journey with you - again, we can live vicariously through you! This has been a dream of mine for... well, forever! Just never been in the position to make it a reality.
We are really excited about it, I expect in 2/3 years maybe not 😂😂😂
@@campervibe the beauty is that you can take a break any time you want/need to and then go back to it with fresh eyes and renewed excitement. Whenever it gets too much, jump into Fanny and head on over here to Wales - or Europe!
CONGRATULATIONS! Your pet friends were as excited as a dog and cat can be, clearly a propitious sign. Enjoy your new home! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m sold on the 1800s cottage my dream also . Although I know nothing about restoration, I know you’re going to do a fabulous job ! ITS LOVELY 🎉
I love your new home and the remoteness. I cannot wait to watch you both get stuck in and make it beautiful. Congrats to all 4 of you 🤩
The excitement is REAL!!!! Congrats guys, what a journey to get here. And I know it's only the beginning. But you've got it, yay!!
Over the moon for you guys. Great News. Hi from Canada. Mike & Michele
So lovely to see the excitement of AJ , the claiming this place by Summer- she is going to have a ball! I can't wait to see your plans take shape and the cottage become a warm,comfortable home for you all.❤
I am so over the moon for you all. AJ’s reaction was just priceless! Even had tears in my eyes!
Love your new home it reminds me of my grandmothers house which was the happiest place on earth. I’m delighted for you both and wish you every happiness and prosperity ❤ 🇦🇺🇮🇪
Seeing AJ get the zoomies has gladdened my heart beyond belief. Love you girls. Welcome home ladies . X
Congratulations so happy for you both. AJ’s excitement made my day.
So so happy to see 4 glowing, joyful, grateful, happy faces. I can’t believe how invested I’ve become in you beautiful souls. Enjoy this amazing new chapter of your lives guys. Looking forward to follow your progress. ❤🎉❤🎉❤
I just love how excited you both are. :) Congratulations, ladies. I hope your new home is everything you want it to be..
Best wishes... kim x
Hi Ladies, so chuffed for you with your new home purchase, my wife and I have been watching your adventures for a while now, just had to let you know how much we enjoy it. Please keep at it you are probably the most real, funny and creative "you tubers" we watch and give us a break from the doom and gloom of everyday life. Good luck with all you're future plans. God Bless Neil and Deb xx
Aw thank you and we will 😀
That tour made me smile so hard. Watching Summer and AJ bouncing around, so obviously happy, made my day. Looks like some good vibes are going on there. I'm excited to see you do the restoration. It is going to be so amazing...whatever, it IS amazing. I totally approve and know that you two can do the majority of the work yourselves. I did restoration of old homes wth my partner for twenty years. You learn as you go, and it is worth every moment in the end.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! to Summer and AJ. Oh, and of course and to the pair of you as well. 😉
Great watching you being so excited. I would be too. Looking forward to watching your progress. Well done girls and best of luck with everything. Living the dream. 👍💚💚💚
I'm so looking forward to following your adventure for the first time. I love your excitement and your love of birds. Please tell me that your lovely cat will leave your bird life alone.
So glad for you , it’s finally happened.
Take care.
I am bursting with excitement with you both, your still young enough to take your time and do it up to your taste, I feel like I want to help but I'm not as stronger as I once was, the dog and cat will have so much freedom once they get use to the place , thank you for sharing with us all ,I have happy tears for you all good luck to you both xx
My cat had 3 bells on her body harness ❤ got to protect them birds 😂
It so wonderful to see AJ and summer so happy.
AJ is dying to do zoomies ❤️🤣
Best opening. So happy for you BOTH 💕💕
P.S. summer and Ajays reaction …OMG. I just was so happy for them
What a fantastic home this is going to be. Congratulations and wishing you a happy future in Ireland.
Thank you so much
Welcome to my part of the country ☘️
Great to see you both so excited ❤
Oh wow what an amazing place. We can’t wait to watch you make it into your home. AJ was so funny he is super happy and Summer in typical cat style acted chilled. Really pleased for you all ❤
So so happy for you and will be watching for everything.
Lovely home. Congrats. Thank you for saving it.
Gorgeous the potential is amazing,Ireland has a place in my heart my dads from cork in Ireland ,friends are from Dublin , your going to love the freedom and fresh air ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! Absolutely beautiful!! If walls could talk I imagine those would have an amazing history to share! So jealous! I can’t wait to see it done! You two can definitely pull this off!
It would be great if they could talk 😮
Congratulations. You found a home that Summer and AJ love. Can’t wait to see the restoration. 🎉🎉
I am so excited when Sunday rolls around and I get to watch another video of yours. My top pick for the redesign is #1.
I love that you would keep the integrity of the original cottage and then add on to the far side. I like the L shape of it and the original stone front and then the wood addition. Keep up the good work and Craig, I especially love the new hair clips and bows, they really bring out your eyes ❤
I am so excited for you both! Reminds me of when me and my Husband Jonathan found and bought our first house!! Y’all are a beautiful couple!
Love the fur babies! The house and property are beautiful! Love to all
Awww finally. So happy for you both. Great things come to those who wait 😊 looking forward to seeing what you do with this home.
How beautiful those red wooden doors are. Well done ladies. We are all as excited as you both are. Congratulations.
Omg I just found you guys. Incredible vision you have and what a commitment!! You are so inspirational in the funniest most authentic way. 😂dreams come true can’t wait 😛 to see the place become yours xxxx
Welcome and thanks 🙂😀
Love your doggie and kitty, too!
Wishing You -all four of you - All the Best - Love! ❤❤❤❤
Awww, am so pleased for you both! And Summer and AJ too, of course, their happiness with their new home is evident 😊. Am looking forward to seeing your progress evolve as you create and build the home of your hearts desires. Waving hello from Wales. ☀️🏴🇮🇪
We are sooo happy for you guys! The four of you are shining!! It's so awesome how you let Summer and AJ discover their new homes. We love you!
The "road" leading to your "teach" (house) is a boreen. Literal meaning little road. Welcome to Ireland. 😊😊😊😊
Absolutely loved AJ's reaction......a happy dog. So happy for you both and Summer too. Will be watching the progress. 😊
Wow. Congratulations. You just bought yourselves a lifetime of content. Not to mention the books, calendars and coffee cups. 😊
So happy to see your new project, thank you for sharing with us. We live in a 200 year old cottage which my hubby has lovingly restored over 35 years. ( total job, at one stage we only had soil on the floor, 3 1/2 external walls and stars twinkling through the sheeting covering where the roof and timbers once were).
It’s going to be a hard slog but so satisfying. Looking forward to joining you on your journey.
I'm very envious, I would have loved a project in Ireland when I was younger, and Bullfinches as well. Wowsers
Ladies, Summer and AJ. Congratulations. I'm delighted for use. We'll done & well deserved.
What a magical place! Worth waiting for, right? I can totally see you here, and thank good you didnt go for any of the other properties. This is you. Tics every box you had, and i am so happy for you. Looking forward to the work ahead, lets go girls!! Wohoo! 💪👊💚🍀🏠 Edit; i am actually wanna cry seeing the your furries actually treating this as home.. 😭🥰
It definitely does 😀
So happy for you both. AJ is looks more excited than Emily 😂 I look forward to seeing your renovations and maybe learn a thing or 2!
I'm so very happy for both of you and your purchase of your new home 🏡 ❤️ 😊! Looking forward to seeing more!
Looking at the tour, I can see why you love it. Two things to comment on: best not to have fitted units in the kitchen. Solid walled buildings need air movement up to their walls, and you really don't want condensation, mould and inaccessible dust building up behind fitted units. Secondly, don't obsess about level floors. A six inch fall across a room's floor wasn't unusual or a matter of concern. Generally, floors fell toeards the door for easier swooshing out, but not always. Just collect bits of wood to put under furniture to level it.
You two are adorable. Can’t wait to follow along - what a piece of property. Home of my Ancestors.
