Buying a derelict cottage in Ireland - our renovation & small holding project!

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"!

Love, love your videos. Cant wait for the next one. Hope the house sells and you can start putting down new roots.
Another fabulous video... smiles and giggles. Hubby asked me what I was smiling at! :)
I really hope that the cheering at the end was that the cornish house was sold for real and completely done. Loved watching the journey to Ireland and hopefully you have more up and less delays. ❤
Love love the catch up! Sending good vibes for a quick sale this time. The fur babies will absolutely love living on the new homestead. The new additions look great! Love from USA
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. 😁
Castlebar is probably the closest, but Westport really not far. It’s a great place to be! 🙂
Really enjoyed seeing what you have been up to on the land in Ireland. Love the positive attitudes and the dogs!
Terrible choice of words, colonise, f*ckin hell
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!
Wow even what you have done makes a big difference.
Thanks! 😀 There’s a very long way to go but we are going to try to enjoy the ride!
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 ❤
Proper fix is to use pease of lead
Hi guys ,are u in Cornwall or Ireland. right now
Definitely a cute gate. Sending you lots of good luck juju to sell your house.
If u know frinds in uk loking for propertybin kerry let me know i find them place
Unfortunately everyone we know thinks we are nuts! Hope you find someone for the place though!
Are ye descendents of Oliver Cromwell? Away home to sasana with ye. Black and tans out
Yeah whatever. It’s obvious what we meant 🙄
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.
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 👍
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!
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.
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
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!
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! 🙂
You will find lots of big empty beaches in Ireland I get grumpy when I find I have to share my beach with two or three people 😂
Oh my god yeah it’s amazing! Cornwall used to be like that years ago until tourism went nuts! Love an empty beach and virgin sand for foot and paw prints!! ❤️
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.
Awww that’s a lovely thing to say, thank you! It’s safe to say our journey to permanently moving over has been long, but the end is now in sight! In the meantime there were plenty of adventures!
You guys are Inspiring me to do the same!!
Hehe oh dear - we can’t be held responsible for what happens next hehe 😀
Hoping along with you for a house sale!!
Thank you!! We have sworn never to move again after this! In the next video you may well see some good news though!…..
Oh Lisa your facial expressions crack me up. Will put it out in the universe that your house sells soon so you can fulfill your dreams. Loving the Tims’ mugs making an appearance!
Lisa does officially have the most expressive face! It does get her into trouble sometimes!! Oh yeah, love Tim’s! Could just eat a sausage biscuit!
Wow, some ups and downs. Every time I move, there’s so many of those between snow storms and whatever else moving packing everything up get everything in line and everything seems to go to pot. 😂😂 Hang in there the end will be worthwhile. Thank you for sharing.❤
Hope your house sells soon. It must be frustrating to want to get on your Irish property and still need to sell the house.
Keep an eye on the next video for more on that….!!
Ye have so much to discover in Connemara and yes Westport is stunning. Did ye need planning permission for yer cabin??? Achill island..stunning.
Like stunning as in breathtakingly beautiful! They literally blew us away!
Oh and yes you would need planning… we decided against the cabin route but got planning anyway.
Well done for what you have managed so far, keep your spirits up, hopefully the house sale works out for you asap. Look forward to following your journey. From NZ
Thank you!
So you're in county mayo lovely place look into mayo count football GAA team its history its now yours gren red of mayo go to few there matches
Ooh yeah that’s on our list! We just need to work out the rules…. Such newbs!
Your county teamplayimg on tvv Tina G channel 4 plus be on mayo radio sports channel red green jersey its 56 years since they won the sam maguire cup they won league that what there playing in today
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
So any score from outside biger circle put over keeper head is worth 2 points any I side one point
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?
STOP walking under the ladder 😂. Nevermind Lisa , you've got me stressed. Another smashing video. Well done ❤
Hehe sorry! Does not walking under the ladder count if there’s no one on the ladder??
@BuildingtheNestIreland NO. ! ! ! 😂
Hehehe
I’m watching these ladder skills … I’m frightened 😱
Guys...just as well ye have a one storey cottage here in Ireland..not a three or two storey..ye only need to bring half that ladder across the sea to the homestead...😂. Ye are so good humoured..its infectious. Ye will settle in here so so well. P.s fine big shed there and neat as a new pin. Impressive. P.s love yer dogs...
Haha I was frightened too!!
There’s a reason we liked the idea of having a cottage! Mind you, it’s still pretty high at the apex!
You guys are hilarious, I’m going to love following along. Good luck with it all! 🇦🇺
Hehe that video was fun to make!
Beautiful pet family...❤. Just checking in and hoping all is ok with your property here in Ireland after the storms of the last week.
Aw that’s lovely, thank you! We’ve had a little damage to the shed and a couple tiles on the cottage. A tree also came down but missed everything, just! So we are taking that as a win!
I just found your channel yesterday and so I am making my way through your videos. I love your sense of humour and the honesty shown on really how difficult it is to make this "sea change". BTW I am watching from Sydney Australia.
Hello! We love Sydney - an amazing city! Glad you are enjoying so far!!
Oh my word you two are hilarious, complete naturals! I am so going to enjoy your journey. I can see how much work you are facing and I would be running sooooh fast in the opposite direction but I reckon you will nail it. Can’t wait to see how things progress. 😂
Hehe thanks!!! We may join you in that direction if all goes wrong!
Hope you survive the storm. 😢
Thank you! We were lucky as our site sits low in the landscape and avoided the worse of it. Hope you are ok! It’s been awful!
So glad to have stumbled upon your channel, looking forward to this ride, should be fun. Your dogs and kitty are gorgeous.
They are the stars of the show! So glad you are enjoying the videos!
Omg feel sorry for you obe thing after another fingers crossed for you im sure will work out in end
Thanks so much! We’ve done exciting news in the next video!
I stumbled across your adventures of looking at the cottages yesterday. You had me in tears. I was laughing so hard. 😂 I’m out here for that, and how deal with each situation. I now live in Omaha Nebraska.☹️ I will go back and watch your other videos. Thank you so much for sharing.❤
Hehe l were so glad you enjoyed them! We will be posting the next one soon!
I like your high tech set up, but we all have to start somewhere. 😂 I wouldn’t sweat it. Wow, what a journey. I liked and subscribed. You both are hilarious. I look forward to your journey. Thank you for sharing.❤
Hehe thanks! It kind of did the job! So glad you’ve enjoyed so far - next video should be out soon!
your horsey encounter was hilarious, they were just saying "come on mate, we just want to play"
Hehe yeah I’m not sure what got into me as I like horses normally! It might have been because I felt a bit like I was trespassing! It’s weird being told to show yourself round someone else’s property!
Congradulations Nick and Lisa on your new cottage! I also follow The Irish Homestead and hope you may also apply for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant as they did to help you build up your new home. Best Wishes to you both I can't waite to see all your vlogs and new build.
Thank you! Glad you’ve enjoyed it so far - there’s more videos on the channel and we will release the next catch up in a week or so 🙂
Hi guys are u waiting for planning to start your renovation ..
If you are watching the videos, we had just put the planning application in. Watch our upcoming ones to find out what happens next! 🙂
