We are Nick and Lisa and 2 years ago we decided to buy a derelict cottage in rural Ireland to renovate and turn into a small holding. In this video we show our, some-what dodgy, decision making process and our journey to finding "the one"!

    Hiya, welcome to Ireland! Looks like you have nice sandy soil there which can make life a lot easier in times to come. I know with my family place we just had a slash hook/scythe and we used to just clear the land that way. Nice cheap way to get through the brambles, takes effort but very easy to pick up and store. Obviously when the birds aren't nesting etc. Great job on the levelling. Might be worth a look for you to join the local Mens Shed (there are womens sheds but they're not trades it's more a social club). Plenty of retired tradesmen there and you could pick their brains. You can build things in there and get some help. You would have to do your part obviously but they love helping someone out.

    Welcome to Ireland, is Westport your nearest town? I used to drive Dublin to Mayo for years. 😁

    • @BuildingtheNestIreland
      @BuildingtheNestIreland 2 дні тому

      Castlebar is probably the closest, but Westport really not far. It’s a great place to be! 🙂

    • @BuildingtheNestIreland
      @BuildingtheNestIreland День тому

      Not really, it’s obvious what we meant. Colonise as in colonise Mars. A derelict piece of land with no services. You colonise it. Nothing to do with what you are thinking!

    A tip Lisa, it's crucial to know how to drive in rural Ireland unless you're pretty near a decent sized town.

    Wow, I’m shocked you haven’t sold yet, makes me nervous for when I reach that point in my journey as I’m in St Cleer, Liskeard! You don’t seem to be having much luck at the moment, still, the glass is always half fulll (I think)…… looks like the shed is still standing after the storm 🤞🏼 Sending you lots of good luck for the next stage ❤

    I'm confused Lisa, you can't drive a car but you can operate a small bulldozer, haha. Interesting and fun video. Love to see the dogs interacting with one another. Your gate, sign look grand! Happy for you guys. Enjoyed seeing the travel pics, love sheep. As you guys are in Mayo, I wonder if you're somewhat near Sligo, where, I believe, Ben and Dawn live (channel The Corner House Project.) If so, you guys should meet.

  • @rae5637

    Enjoyed your update and hope it all works out well for the sale of your cottage in Cornwall. On an advisory note do keep an eye on your metal shed and what you'd stored in there as they tend to sweat on the inside with changes of temperature including the ceiling. Good Luck 👍

    • @BuildingtheNestIreland
      @BuildingtheNestIreland 3 дні тому

      We’ve exciting news in the next video on that front…. Will do, thank you! That’s def a disadvantage, although am a bit glad we went heavy duty metal after the storm!

  • @michellecabrera9147
    @michellecabrera9147 3 дні тому

    I think my favorite part of these videos are how you took so many videos and pictures and have story time/flashbacks. I’m sorry your house hasn’t sold and I hope it sells at the first original evaluation price range. Looking forward to more updates/story time.

    • @BuildingtheNestIreland
      @BuildingtheNestIreland 3 дні тому

      Aw so glad you are enjoying them! It’s a bit complicated as we are trying to catch up on the past two years whilst also starting to introduce what’s happening now. A couple more videos and we will be in real time I reckon! Hope you enjoy the others!

    I think this will sound mean but I don’t know if I can watch any more until you get to the point. Maybe this is just your sty;e which is fine. It’s just not for me 4 videos of how we got here when you just needed 1. Hey, variety is the spice of life as they say. There are many channels & we don’t have to love them all. Looks like you’re getting positive feedback so please just take is with a grain of salt. I’ll check back down the road. Best wishes

    • @BuildingtheNestIreland
      @BuildingtheNestIreland 3 дні тому

      No worries! Ironically how we got there is currently two years and running in real time! Try doing it for real if you think the videos are boring!

    • @666chum

      Harsh and unnecessary comment. If you dont like the channel then just don’t watch. No need to diss.

      Thank you! I’m never sure how people have time to comment on things they don’t like. I just switch to something I do like and don’t look back! 🙂

    Hello guys. I’m new to the channel and am really enjoying watching. I’ve watched quite a few different channels of ppl building their Irish dream homes and the ppl are sooooo boring. Not you guys!! You both have great personality and It’s nice to see you having so much fun. Good luck for the future. I will be eagerly watching.

    • @BuildingtheNestIreland

    • @Anthony-oq9qc
      @Anthony-oq9qc 3 дні тому

      They change new rules this year so u get them easy it's not like what we call soccer you have to pick bapo up off ground ans solo from boot to hand while running every 6 strides u have to pa's or bounce ball kick it over keeper head u get 1 point ans into net I get a goal witch is 3 points tnow this year the got u see 2 half circles outside rectangle box the small circle 1 point but big circle is 2 points if u kick ball from outside big circle all teams must keep 3 player upat there scoring post this means each team also got keep 3 men defending hope this helps

    • @Anthony-oq9qc
      @Anthony-oq9qc 3 дні тому

      So any score from outside biger circle put over keeper head is worth 2 points any I side one point

    • @BuildingtheNestIreland
      @BuildingtheNestIreland День тому

      Thanks so much for the explanation, that helps! I think the other bit I don’t get is how the score is displayed - as both teams seem to have two scores? 1-7?
