- Will they condemn our dream? Restoring a 200 year old cottage.
You can find @phillyandkeely here / @phillyandkeely They go on some truly amazing van life adventures and their videos are incredibly well filmed and put together, definitely worth a watch!
After what already feels like weeks of demolition and clearing out, this week we are exposing the 200 year old walls, specifically the old fireplace and chimney in the cottage kitchen.
We seek advice from a specialist to see if we can even retain it, we get a large truck stuck up our narrow lane, there's a hospital visit for one of us and progress on the off grid barn continues with some help from our friends @phillyandkeely
Every week of renovations at our remote cottage in Ireland is an interesting one, we are having such fun adapting to country living and learning to live in rural Ireland. It's a different way of life and very soon our off grid living space will be complete and we can really push on restoring the old house. Subscribe if you want to see how we go with it, its gonna be tough, expensive, physically demanding, there will be tears of joy and frustration I am sure, BUT, its going to be one epic adventure!

Guys we’ve got friends! Can you believe it?!? 😂
Was great to have a bit of help at the cottage this week, and if there’s a vanlife shaped hole in your Sunday viewing (ya know, now we are a bit busy knocking our house apart) then check Philly and Keely out here youtube.com/@phillyandkeely?si=ZmzWxZBFnVwO99jJ spoiler alert, the content is very well made.
On a separate note, we put up a new bird feeder today and it’s BUSY! Lots of bird content to come I’m sure.
So exciting, who’s enjoying the restoration videos?
I’m totally stunned at this news. Fanning myself to get over the shock. 👍☘️🇮🇪🥂
Fence is looking good guys and no doubt it won’t be long before the house is too. I feel awful for all the hard work you both do while I lounge about watching. So you’ve inspired me to do some much needed ceiling painting. Not a Michelangelo tho just some white emulsion. Big hugs girls 🫂 x
Loving the restoration videos. I'm really impressed the way you are both getting stuck in. It's going to be lovely once done. But as I said before, Lou needs a land rover.
Subscribed ❤ to them! I am truly loving your videos... its exciting to see you two doing the renos😂❤... AJ is one lucky pup , what a lovely yard he's got...
Good grief ladies, where do you get all your energy from? I was knackered watching the video. I love your optimistic outlook on everything. Keep up the great content, I think the way you two are going, it'll be refurbished in six months. 😉
Why do I get the feeling that the next time Emily cleans the camper she's going to find the pin on the floor under the bed or something and Louise actually swallowed a peanut.
I hope so 🙌
😂.. I was thinking that myself!
That's exactly what I thought too, let's hope we're right.
🤣😂🤣 I agree.
I was thinking next time she goes thru a metal detector it will go off 😄
The only problem with your videos is that they end too soon. Way to go girls! Remarkable progress.
Glad you like them so much 😀
100% agreed!
The chemistry you two have is just incredible and I always feel better after watching your channel. The world needs more lovely people like you. Have a great week. Cheers once again from Vancouver Island.
need their own TV show.. make great presenters!!!
Thank you, we think we do alright as a couple 😀
My 72 year old mother and I just love to watch your channel. We are so enjoying you renovating this old cottage and you two are such fun. But please Louise, for the love of gawd, we sincerely hope you have the greatest painfree, perforation free, smoothest satisfying shit! Love ye's both xx 🙂🙃🥰
Thank you guys 😀
She didnt swallow it , it would of showed up in xrays
😂😂😂
Good on ya. ❤
Brill video as ever guys ❤️ such a beautiful spot, loved spending time together 🥰🥰 and thanks Em for all the delicious food to fuel us 🤤 Looking forward to next time already 💪💪 you've got us proper land broody now!!!
You guys are more than welcome anytime 😀😀

Thank you for making my Sundays so much better every week. ❤ You make me smile and laugh every time and your videos are beautiful too.
Glad that we can and thank you for taking the time to watch the vids 🙂
Well done
My weekly therapy session…love watching your Reno and your bantering. You ladies rock…not just your wall. And Louise…prunes are your friend!
😀😀😀😀
Well done girls. Good to see you looking so happy. Xx
Hearing the laughter around the kitchen table was wonderful-that’s what you’re building for and it’ll be important to keep that in mind when the rebuild gets tough.
And Lou- good luck listening for that pin to drop with Em about 😂😂😂
As always massive love to you both x
😂😂 what you trying to say, I’m so quiet 😂
@@campervibe now I’m singing Björk! 🤣 Shhhh! Shhhh!
Your doing a great job and it's going to look good when done but it is a long process. Take care and stay safe. Will see you in the next video. Hopefully Emily will be back to help you soon. ❤️🙏
Lovely to see Philly and Keely popping in to help. Their Oz tour was brilliant, two of my favourite channels in one episode - watching whilst spending a couple of nights in my own van. My life is complete 😆👏
It was such a fun trip to watch of theirs 🙂
On the plus side you are doing amazing with the land fencing great job everyone !
Just the smiles and laughter tells me everything girls ...such happiness😊❤
😀😀😀
Looks fantastic 👌
Loved hearing the laughter in your new home as you sat down for the curry, and so glad my second favourite dog nearly has his dream garden 😀
😀😀
I love you two , make me smile :) 😊
Really enjoyed your banter in this video and what a treat to see Philly and Keely who I discovered when they were travelling down here. Things are moving along quickly (except that pin!), can't wait to see what you create together.
I think we are making good progress so far and yeah them guys are a great laugh
❤
Been following Philly & Keely for years... so glad they are your friends as well! Great working together!
They are a lovely couple
Having a cuppa and some ginger bics is the nicest way to watch somebody else work 😂 its also great watching someone who knows what there doing.thanks for the latest update your doing fantastic 👍
I think it’s the best way 😂
Great job! We admire your work ethic!!!
Thank you
Well done guys amazing work xxx Can't wait to see the next one xx
Aww nice to see Philly and Keely … just need Nick and Sarah from expawers to join you 😁.. Dream team ❤️
We love them guys, have not seen them in a couple of years now ☹️
Love everything about you guys. Keep up the good work ❤❤
So much fun to see 2 of my favorite RUclips channels together!
😀😀
Ditto makes my Sunday
My life for my wife.god bless you,awesome personality,also such fantastic. Shamim 👫💑🎎👬🫂👏
How did you get to be friends with Keely and Philly I love their channel and glad your friends you all amazing people!!❤❤❤
Started off chatting through insta 😂
Scary the pin thing - but get some inter-dental brushes for emergencies!The pin would surely show up on an X-Ray if they did it properly and I am sure they did. Main thing is you are all good Louise!
House is already looking like a home. All those birds chirping... (Is the word?), well, singing give you the idea of where the Irish accent comes from, is such a delight. Emily... Did you get to hear a "I pinned it" after Lou returned from the toilet? Keely's laughter is so contagious. You know, you have so many 'in between double sense' jokes, not many people dare to do so. ¡¡Pura Vida!!
Yeah chirping is the word 😀 it really does feel like home
Another great video ladies thankyou! Nice to see Philly & Keeley in there too, as an Aussie I obviously followed their travels whilst here, you guys don't seem to have any fears of where you
going next or what you're doing - I'm so envious! You ladies have taken on this house - no experience, no problem......... Cheers everyone!
Can't wait to see AJ having a hoon around! Fabulous video as always, love seeing the birds. The genuine thrill you guys have is heartwarming. Happy days!❤
😀🐕
Absolutely love watching you both
Looking for my own campervan but a small one
Thank you Louise and Emily xx
Given all the rain in Ireland probably be a good idea to clear all the barn as a workshop and for dry storage of materials
Yes I thought the same. It would make the tasks so much easier and to have the tools there. Other great youtubers that I follow 'The Irish Homestead' lost their barn in the storms and I felt so sorry for them.
The barn is something we will do, main priority was the track and fence for AJ then onto other jobs like that 🙂
So enjoyed this video you two are so lovely to watch take care both❤❤😉👋
Fabulous work ladies... so much progress. Here's hoping that pin makes a safe exit Louise 🤞and good luck convincing Emily about using cow dung in the construction 😂... So funny!!
Oh I know 🙈💩
Ooh love the vlog
looks great, was just watching P&K's crusty van☣ video this morning lol. For you fence, I have seen others paint the wire black with a roller and the mesh becomes almost invisible at a short distance.
That’s pretty cool
Scottish here and I'd say turn about as well. Philly made perfect sense to me 🤣. Loving these videos
I continue to be inordinately happy to watch you two getting on with your shared life doing up your little bit of Ireland whilst sat in my own bit ❤❤❤
😀
Another great video girls thanks for sharing The fence looks great along with the internal progress. nice to see Philly & Keely too. love it when colabs happen between channels i like and follow along too. Good luck
Aga with back boiler for heating and hot water
.multi fuel AGA... expensive but worth it maybe put feelers out for second hand one
Yeah that’s what we are thinking
I know what you mean Louise. My mrs can’t picture things In her mind either. She can only see what’s there not what could be there. 👍
I can’t imagine a more fun day than hanging with you guys and Philly and Keely!! ❤❤ the fence is looking really great 👌🏼
Thanks 😀
When using the post knocker best to hold handles up the top. Found less hand slipping and less chance of coming off the post, tipping and hitting your head. Found that out the hard way me self 🤣🤣🤣
Louise: „safety first“
Also Louise: swallows a pin
😂🤦🏻♀️
A couple of coats of oil-based undercoat should bury the stain and leave a matt finish.
123 Bulls Eye Zinsser is good stuff - primer-sealer stain killer. We used it over lime. Scrub first then paint just the stains. Good luck.
Re the fireplace, couldn’t you expose the stone over the fireplace without taking the block out. Fake wood over mantle will always look fake.
Ooh Philly and Keely, how lovely to see you all together. I've been really enjoying their epic Australia trip and Martha's looking so great compared to how I just saw her over on their channel. Well done on getting on with the fencing. It's looking reet grand.
It was a great trip they done 😀
Doing so well both of you, well done :)
And here I was worried about the chicken wire fence poking you in the eye, never thought to warn never to use a push pin for tooth pick at the risk of swallowing it! So did it come out? So so glad it didn’t slow Louis down at all! :) Always love the music selections! Thank you for the entertainment
Oh I know right 🤦🏻♀️😂
brilliant video as always. its all looking great x
Hand on heart I love you two.. I smile from start to finish watching you.. your vlogs have everything..comedy.. nature.. amazing diy projects but most of all.. love.. you guys are the real deal. My absolute favourite vloggers ❤
That’s so lovely, we are so happy you enjoy the vids and coming along on this journey with us 😀
My favourite people in one video 👍AGA is a great idea I have had my Aga for 16 yrs and if I ever move house I will buy another. House is cosy with an AGAIand food delicious. X
I hate when your video comes to a end. Love what your doing so far. I will pop over and check out your friends later. Hopefully you can get more visitors who come to help for a bit of grub a sleep over and above all that beautiful country. Brilliant video again Ladies. Cant wait for next week ☺ ☺ 😊 😊
Thanks, we are glad so many people are enjoying these change in vids 😀
@@campervibe something I love more about this channel is how you interact with us all, Hope that pin as left the building lol 😂 😂
Sorry Lou but the story about the peanut and the pin had me in fits of laughter. Nice try trying to keep it under wraps, thanks Emily i needed that laugh this morning.
I'm so excited for you. You work so hard, and it's a real joy to see you living your dream.
Thank you so much ☺️
🥰Love Philly and Keely.
Brilliant to see progress at the house, your two new friends sure helped out with the fence, good to see that. Glad to see you have met the local farmer, keep friends with him as he will be of help to you in the future I'm sure.
They were a great help, really sped things along 🙂
Weldone looking good! :-)
So very nice to have your weekly vlogs back, ladies and so very excited to see all of the work on your sweet cottage!! EM, the new outfit looks lovely!! Excited for your sweet fur babies to have their roaming space!! ❤❤ so happy for you all!!
Thanks 😀
Love Philly and Keely ❤❤❤❤
So nice, to see the progress on the fence and inside the House. And as always, beautiful editing on Top. Thanks and have a great week
Yaaaa Keelie and Philly! ❤
Awesome ur guests we Philly n Keely I luv watching them they make me laugh n smile as u two do
They are such a lovely couple 😀
Loving these restoration videos!!
Looking nice!
A couple of tips for your fencing ..... Rollers and String!
OK, when you are painting your posts/ battens it is quicker and easier to use a roller rather than a brush. You can do several at a time and then turn them all over to do the back.
The string needs a couple of extras though a couple of wooden blocks and a weight at on end to make a plumb bob. It is the fastest and most accurate way to check verticals. Tie a knot in one end of your string and wrap it round the top and drop the line so the knot holds it and then trap your block under the hanging section. If you get good you can easily do away with the bottom block and just eye it up! It is quicker to do than to tell you how to do! ;o)
I think the "creosote" is the condensate from wood /peat burning as the smoke cools down in the chimney. If so you can clean much of it off with a good sweeping. I do my own once a year with an online chimney sweeping brush and rods that fit on the end of a battery drill. Get the size of brush for your chimney (it might be good to get two, one for your chimney and one for your flue when fitted (Amazon is your "bestie" for this)! It will not get rid of the seepage but will cut it down in the future. Even if you chisel out the leaking areas and "repoint" it there will be spots that come through later ..... even cement is not impervious to it so it might just be a case of least worst cure. Maybe a good waterproofing agent?
I wish you both well for this!
Thank you, great tips 😀
Absolute screaming progress!!! Cheers Girls!!!
I so love you both you bounce of each other, the vlog girls is amazing i so admire you both what ur doing its amazing ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
😀😀 thanks
New subscriber, watching from Australia. Loving your episodes, and love all the birds 🥰. So great to see Philly and Keely!! Watched their whole lap of Aus and didn’t want them to leave 😂.
Lovely surprise to see my favourite 2 sets of RUclipsrs in the same video. I watched Philly and Keely earlier today! Brilliant!
😀😀
There is a channel I watch on RUclips called Our Self Reliant Life. They have built an earth bag dome and their roof is not only cob but manure and lime mix. It isn't finished yet but the areas that she has applied the manure and lime wash has held up through their monsoon season. Just food for thought.
good vid on you work on you of grid houe keep up the good vids thanks lee
Cheers Lee
Another fantastic video update ,thanks very much guys ,looking forward to the next one, although I'm having nightmares wondering where the swallowed pin is lurking 😮😂xxx
So priveleged to hear our MarshmEmily nickname get a mention! ♥(Of course, of course safety first!) You're both working so hard and doing so well, such a great video! Cannot WAIT to see AJ and Summer get their freedom, and see more! Keep up the muscle training and the passion for one another & your dream home !! 🌠
Rich & Lou xx
Aw thanks guys and I so do look like that 😂
Love seeing the days ur both going strong
You two are doing so well👏
Heres something to make you both giggle, i got caught out with the spirit level joke. I went into B&Q in my late teens and was asked to find an employee to get me a bubble for the spirit level. Oh, the shame 😂😂 i didn't fall for the tartan paint, though 🤣
😂😂🙈
@@campervibe to say I felt like a twat is an understatement 🙄
Hi Lou,sorry to hear about your mishap with the pin,you need to have porridge each morning,that should shift it 🤞🤞🤞
So delighted for you both, so good to see the house become a home to welcome guests and share the good life. Thank you for sharing the feeling with such wonderful videos.
My favourite four people ❤
Your vlogs cheer up Sunday. So enjoyable to watch, your lovely house is already looking loved, cheers from London 👍
Happy to cheer you up 😀😀
An Aga is a great idea, it gives the home a heart.
Wow I'm early. Let's see what you've got for us.
Now, you are really rocking it with the renovation. Great Video.
Great vlog.. fun! Work done looks great! Good luck with the "pin" situation.
Hey guys it's not creosote, it's tar from the soot in the chimney. If you coat it with knotting - used to seal knots in wood to stop them falling out,
It should stop the tar coming through your finish.
Thanks 🙂
Wish I could come help you girls take the easy way 😊
Louise trying to be a pin up girl OOPS pin down
😂😂
put butter on summers paws when she first goes out it helps them sniff there way back x
A had a family barbecue yesterday and a was telling everyone how good your channel is and to start watching ..so much good vibes you 2 give out so funny and very talented girls ....thanks scott and Heather and hamish and bonnie my 2 dogs
Aw thank you, that’s so kind of you
Loving this content guys 👌
Been waiting days for this ❤😊
Me too
😀😀😀
Love the Aga idea! I've only seen one...on an old ranch in Colorado, but I've always wanted one. It will look great.
Hands up, who thought that skip was going to swing in to the wall? Edit: So GLAD it didn't!
So are we 😂🙌
@@campervibe I bet that was very tense to watch! 😅
Bless sweet friends for helping when help is needed. 🥰
Loiuse, if you're feeling brave, tell Emily the doctors confirmed that after years of her cooking you're now able to digest steel and plastic. 🙆
😂😂 prob true
aga cookers are great - in the winter ! too hot in the summer - keep up the good work x
