Restoring Our 100 Year Old Farmhouse: DIY Renovation, Slowly, But Surely!

In this episode "Restoring Our 100 Year Old Farmhouse: DIY Renovation, Slowly, But Surely!" Dawn repairs as much as she can before the sand runs out and no delivery is due for a few days before she can continue the repairs to the 200 year old stone farm building.

Our bedroom gets a rejig after all of the modern blue paint is removed, exposing the lime whitewash the farmhouse needs to prevent damp issues in the stone walls.

The giant root from the Ash tree beats Ben (again) but it must be removed for the vital repairs to the stone wall the root is pushing against.

The land is overgrown but we have fruits!

Being complete beginners at farmhouse renovation, really needing a "homesteading for beginners" guide and now starting amateur archaeology, we are taking it slowly, enjoying everything we do no matter how hard it is, to one day realise our dream of running a fully functioning homestead from our once derelict Irish Farmhouse.

I think Dawn is doing a super job of the pointing, I’m just as excited to see those cottages restored as much as the actual house.

Now is a good time to cut back the dead branches to send the energy to the rest of the tree. I see lots of apple pies in your future, lol

[offgridirishhomestead]

Love your Apple orchard, very envious. Dreaming of planting an Orchard. Any apple wood you fell, save it for smoking on the BBQ. One of the most versatile smoking woods, nice and subtle, not too overpowering.
Like your style, getting distracted from an 'orrible job visiting the garden to have a little snack.

I believe that wall is going to be the best it's been in a long while. Puts a big smile on my face watching you tirelessly place each stone and the mortar to keep it for many, many years 😊 Superb Dawn 😊

[eleanoreagly]

Suggest when you take the dead apple wood branches off that you keep the wood and use it for smoking meat for a really delicious apple wood smoked meat. A really special flavor. Know you do not have time currently but bag up the wood and label it for special use. The stone restoration is looking great.

Good to see your cracking on still guys not watched for a while as I lost my mum suddenly at only 55 so been really hard for me but with my good old mate si I’m getting back on track .
Nice to see your still using the secret wave 😂 .
I can still picture Ben coming down the road with he’s hand out the window lol

[fourtails]

I wouldn't blame you if you never want to see another root in your life Ben ... I admire your patience & persistence. Great job with the bedroom wall . You are great at pointing Dawn 👍✌️

[kathleenroberts]

A saws-all will be perfect for that ! Those blades go through everything

[spudsnsalsa]

I'm voting a controlled burn on that stubborn root! Progress is progress!

[countessvonnie]

You are both doing such a great job. We have watched all of your videos now and caught up.
Loved watching when you got your cats ( we also have 3 cats all Maine Coons) so we understand the need to have them as family ❤️ Looking forward to seeing the end of moving all the dirt and revealing the 200 year courtyard. You have a hard job ahead shovelling muddy soil so we take our hats off to you both 👏
All the very best

Another great video both 👏👏👍looking forward to seeing the brickwork completed on the outhouse your doing a cracking job of it 👏👏👍

[pnuttyodriscoll]

You guys are doing a great job
We decided to move to Ireland and bought a neglected small cottage 6 years ago and are still working on it nowhere near as big a project as yours but it feels good when another job is done
Keep up the good work

[LewisC]

Hi Ben and Dawn. Good to see you are still smiling despite the stubborn stump. XX

[alisondoughty]

I do hope the weather changes and you can be in your garden making it look lovely as I am sure you will do.its so amazing what you have done already.🎉😄🏕️

[devina]

I've only watched one video ie; the year time lapse, however, I think what you're doing is wonderful and as an Irish native I wish you the very best going forward.
I've just subscribed and look forward to watching more of your work.
Good Luck!

The algorithm got it right this week. Finally!! ;) Thanks for bringing us with.

[goddessqueen]

Only you two could make watching paint being chipped enjoyable. Good job on rearranging the bedroom. It looks great. As for leaving the window lintel exposed you might watch My Tiny Estate. They plaster the walls with the wooden beams exposed, sometimes the beams are recessed in the plaster, but you might like the look of it.

[carrierawson]

Hi can’t wait to see my name you can make a lovely jam out of crabapples 😊

[saudilass]

The bedroom wall looks so warm and cosy now they have the soft blue and not cold blue. Well deserved increase in subscribers too 👏

[neutonrenda]

Great to see how the garden is going, it's looking really good. It's something that's going to look very different every year.👍
