    Shout out to Mike, the wall looks amazing. I got a tear in my eye Clare when you were talking about your Dad with a stone in his hand. ♥

    • @WestCorkWander

    Wow that area you live is truly stunning loved the drone footage ❤ The wall looks blooming amazing, well done Clare and Mike. What a craftsman watching him chip away at that stone to make it fit. It really is a very therapeutic job isn’t it? The hours just whizz by. Ooh I should also mention Rooney as she had a helping hand in it too lol. What lovely memories of your dad and for you to be now being doing something that he loved so much…well it just makes it that little more special.
    Wishing Lynn all the best and hope she feels better really soon.
    Oh my goodness……carnage is the word! Good job with all that you’ve done so far. “Are you going to leave it balanced like that?” 😂 I bet it was nice to just see a little step back from the inside for a little while though and be doing something very different. End of an era with the caravan going! ❤

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  3 місяці тому

      Stone walling is incredibly therapeutic, now I know how you do it Dawn😉 But actually overall I think it's so satisfying to look back at it, as it looks so lovely and will always look good 😊

    Shout to Mike! May we all have such a neighbor who gives and gives! I have a great neighbor named Mark who is a drywaller by trade. During our kitchen renovation, he closed off a door for us and didn’t want a penny in payment (of course I slipped some money in his wife’s hand so they could go out for a great dinner).

    I didn't realise how much carnage was left after the trees were felled until I saw the part where the camera panned back and the true scale of it was revealed!
    It looked like the jungle aftermath in the movie Predator after Arnie and co. stood in line & relentlessly machine gunned and fired grenades into the treeline ahead of them for a solid minute lol!I
    'Safety Crocs' are definitely gonna be a 'thing' if you keep promoting them Rob!
    Each week another milestone seems to get hit - Shifting the caravan is another.
    The wall looks great with the newly oiled kitchen floor.
    And Rob, sat in a mini-digger is definitely your new 'Happy Place' lol!
    Great video - Thank you!!!

    • @WestCorkWander

    Big shout out to your neighbour Mike. The kitchen stone wall looks marvellous. I have a broken down dry stone wall on the plot my hours is being built on. IF he’s good at that too, could he perhaps beam himself to Mayo to help. 😆

You put me to shame with my diy, still putting off finishing my painting, did rotovating in the garden today it’s gone crazy with weeds, well that’s my excuse anyway😀

    Great work folks. I think that restored internal wall is my fav part of the reno so far. Beauty. The garden and poly is looking bountiful, lots of tasty goodies coming your way. Show us some harvests💚

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  3 місяці тому

      Aww thanks folks! My fav part of your series was when you got the crate full of lobsters!!!! So jealous, we love the ocean first time back in this week after 2 years, will be in next vid! Also super jealous that asparagus was your first planation... Had me searching all over Ireland where to get them but eventually found and they must go in. We have had blueberries, loganberries, red and black currents for breakfast, all our potatoes and cucumbers but the stat of the show is tomatoes... Fingers crossed we are only a day or two away from that and we will share it. We've gotten so busy the last few months we are struggling to maintain the garden etc. and record on top of the build.
      Love your house and project and delighted you got approval recently if you need any tips or advice or tools!! Let us know we'd happily help anyway we can; the timeline is brutal. Love your location. I did my freedive training in the lough in 2010 and used to dive and kayak there quite frequently. It's a stunning underwater seascape there
