You both looked a picture sat in your chairs covered in dust, very Irish, you blend in nicely. Good progress in the house and what better way to chill at the end of a day's graft.❤
Roy loves the outdoor life, and all the activity. He’s happiest when we’re all together. Yes, hopefully some big changes coming soon when the foundations are poured. 🙌❤️
Just love watching ye restore your beautiful cottage. Hoping ye get light soon but it’s ok ye are making the most of it. It’s just beautiful making me homesick
It’s where the immersion water tank was kept, like a little cubby hole hiding it away. Above the tank would be shelves made of wooden slats where bedsheets, pillowcases and towels were kept because warm air would circulate the space and keep bedlinen fresh.
Well done on that bathroom stud wall tear out! Sorry but I don't quite understand the reason you can't keep the entire stone wall exposed - you mentioned due to dampness and you might "tank" the wall from the floor halfway up the wall - is tanking a term meaning a watertight sealant and the wood paneling would cover up that sealant? Hi Roy!
Yes, it’s like a a rigid, hardcore bubblewrap made of thick plastic. No water can pass through the membrane. So effectively it damprofs in the inside from the floor up. Panelling with wood is just a decorative finish because the tanking itself isn’t pretty:
Best of luck with all the work ahead of you! I've been watching the "Make.Do.Grow." vlog for a few years now, where they are renovating a stone farmhouse in Portugal. They use lime mortar, not cement, and lime plaster - explanations given in the blog why that's very important. Will you need to do the same?
We will use line mortar for the exposed areas. Not for the whole re-rendering though as it’s pricey. We have worked with lime before, the 250 year old cottage we bought when we moved to Cornwall (part stone, part cob) was cement rendered when we bought it. We removed it and had the entire cottage lime rendered. It looked lovely. We’ll explain our reasons for not using lime for the entire house as we go through. There’s logic to it as well as economics! 😊🙌👍
No because there are collar beams higher up to stop the spread that were part of the original build. The beams Noel is removing are a lower ceiling put in later. 😊
Why o why are you blocking up that window? Or have I misunderstood? You need as much light as possible? You are doing a grand job I really admire your stamina. 👌🤗
Because there will be a tap room (pump house) on the other side of it when we build the extension. I know, I’m loving how it looks now. But we will have a light tunnel bringing daylight from above. Thanks for your kind words of support. 🙌❤️
I bet the house would look amazing if you removed some of the render and exposed the stonework, not that l’m trying to make more work for Noel 😂 Just invite over some friends and have a “rendor removing stone exposing party”
Haha that’s a good idea. Bring your own hammer drill! We do intend to remove the tender on the outside of the cottage: We talk about this in the next video… watch this space. 😊🙌👍

I think you’re right. 👍
Ah the joys of dust❤❤
What is an airing cupboard?
It’s where the immersion water tank was kept, like a little cubby hole hiding it away. Above the tank would be shelves made of wooden slats where bedsheets, pillowcases and towels were kept because warm air would circulate the space and keep bedlinen fresh.

@@TheHiddenHouseIreland Ok, now I recall seeing this on the channel Matthew Adams. Sounds like a great plan.

Arnt those ceiling joists stoping you roof trusses from spreading and falling off the walls?
