AMAZING first night in the EPIC Farmhouse we risked our LIFE SAVINGS on | EP79

A little over a year ago we left our home and moved into a caravan on our dream homestead as we slowly renovated our derelict Epic Farmhouse on a grant program with a tight timeline with all our life savings.
The last year in the caravan has been tough on us, and we worked crazy hard to get to this point to sleep in a bed again.
To celebrate our first night one of our community suggested that we cook a Traditional Irish Stew and we share this, with a special ingredient, Guinness!.

Join us for a mix of DIY challenges and triumphs as we push towards moving into our renovated farmhouse after a year of living and sleeping in the caravan.

Love watching you and your lovely wife. I love how you respect each other throughout your journey. That's what good marriages are made of! Watching you make your Irish stew. Haha if that meat is tough just cook it longer. You don't need to wait on your dad to get you a knife sharpner, just use one of those riverstones you have on your property! You really can sharpen a knife anywhere with a little water and a stone or even concrete. Take that from a Texas girl. You do need a new fillet knife that will skin a deer or sheep!

Aww I am sooo chuffed for you both! ❤ bloody well done Clare, I love how you were up at 7.30am hoovering just to get in the bedroom! Those mosaic tiles for the kitchen are beautiful, I was thinking it’s such a shame have to put grout in/on them but then when you started grouting…wow 😮they stood out even more! Love them. You two are my heroes, I love your enthusiasm, your work ethic and your style!

Cut the remaining tiles into suitable squares, bond them to some thin MDF/Ply and then put some felt button underneath to make matching coasters.

[vickihamrick]

Love the kitchen wall tiles! Beautiful!!!

[andreakerry]

Clair! Hope you're enjoying your rewards xx

[padraigbeag]

Great effort folks to get to where you have with the property, best of luck with the final push. 👍

[sharonpettman]

[Willywagga]

And huge congratulations!!

[dishmurphy]

Now it’s going to sound like I’m saying great job Clare only because Rob said so but it’s absolutely true. Clare is a amazing. I hope you slept in Saturday. You’ve both earned it. Clare I think you need to wear protective gear when Rob uses kitchen knives. So, so happy for you ✌️💚

This is too late now, but some advice for future reference.
After getting an extension built we painted the plaster board. For about ten years afterwards every time we painted, the painting kept chipping off the walls.
A friend of ours, a very handy man, told us to scrape as much paint as possible back to the bare plaster. I did this with a hair dryer. I got every bit of paint off!
He told me to give the walls two coats of half PVA glue and half water. This leaves a shiny finish on the plaster and makes it unabsorvant. I then base coated it, undercoated it twice and over coated it twice. It’s never chipped since and is a pleasure to paint since.

Well done. You are amazing. Enjoy your Irish stew .

[MommaOG]

Clare great job on the bedroom it looks so good 🙂.The mosaics are beautiful, Rob I'm glad your safe that knife was a real scare! You all have a lovely day🙂💐

[avacadman]

We managed to buy huge Porcelain tiles for our worktops for Just £18.00 the job lot! Me being a baker they are ideal! Love them! When I say huge these tiles covered most of our worktops in one piece. Result! I admire your dedication to do it all yourself, we did but like you, we never did the electrics on each house we did.

[bbforever]

Wahoooo!!! Haha. I just did a little shout for you!!! Way to go, I’m sure you are so excited to be in the house!!

[edie_perty]

Got to love another milestone, great work.

[jaymanishere]

Hi guys. The bedroom looks fantastic. I really like the tiles you used. Also, thanks for the Irish stew recipe. I have a couple Irish cookbooks and I love experimenting in the kitchen.
