Having a single-room dwelling was quite common in the 1800's. My house started out as a single-room dwelling that got expanded around 1920. The whole family basically ate and slept in a single room with build-in bedsteads, a hearth (later a stove), and some furniture. There would have been a small loom near one of the 2 windows, and an outhouse in the garden behind the house. Water would most likely have come from the communal village pump, which was located about 50 meters from my house. A bath house was located further down the street, with tubs and wood-burning boilers. Small kids were usally bathed once a week in front of the hearth in a smaller tub in the house itself.
Same! My parents started out as a single room in the 1890's and then expanded to a 2- floor (but 1 room on each floor) then outwards and up and down some more over the past decades. The original stone walls are still in the 'starter room' and it's my favourite thing about it. Still really good condition for 100s of year old stone.
I love it when someone restores instead of tearing down. Also, it is always fun to watch someone who can look at a problem and think of a way to fix it. I look forward to watching your progress.
Greetings from the Ozark mountains in Arkansas, USA. Reminds me of all the old places I have rehabbed in my 80 yrs. I’m on my last one, an old woman now, I just enjoy watching my birds and critters. But I’ve loved giving all those old cottages a new life for the next generation to shelter in. More fun now to watch someone else save one, and listening to that lovely Irish lilt makes it even better!
I’m loving seeing the windows fixed in a way that’s watertight and still lets the light in!
Very sensible to preserve it as it is becoming so difficult for even farm families to get permission to build.
Yes that’s for sure, so it’s invaluable to us for that reason
@@IFarmWeFarm what's going to happen to this cottage eventually
@@theoddjobcentre6686 He doesn't know yet.
@@theoddjobcentre6686 At the end of the video he talks about putting a kitchen in and building an extension. So I'm guessing he's hoping to make it habitable for someone. Otherwise, why bother doing it?
Just love watching you work on this project ! Who needs TV Channels when i have you to watch, loads of Common Sense and Practical Solutions Cheers UK
Thank you 👍
Great job Adrian. It wasn’t unusual to have single-room cottages where people lived and slept in the same room.
Anyone suggesting bulldozing the site just doesn't get it I'm afraid. It's incredibly important to preserve places like this when the opportunity arises rather than making the easy decision and regretting it down the line.
Thanks for taking the time to make a video showing the update of the little Cottage. Great idea putting those panels up on the Windows instead of plywood.
Nice one Adrian, good to see old cottages come back to life instead of being demolished!
some mad carpentry /window repair skills you've got going there Adrian ....like i said before most would have leveled the house but fair play to you for trying to rescue it
If it's fixable, which it seems to be, then levelling it would be criminal. Adrian seems confident he can restore it so I'll enjoy watching his progress.
Your show and Bealtine Cottage are two of my favorites, glad to see you secure the windows and get the door shut, you are a handy fixer upper, you make it look easier than it probably is
Thank you, I will check that other channel out 👍
A handy footprint for the beloved planning authorities, well worth maintaining it for the future
This. Much easier get planning
Your lucky to have a tool for every job. Your a real doer, you get on with things. I can’t wait to see this little house done up one day
I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS TO GET STARTED. I CHECK EVERYDAY TO SEE IF YOU GOT TO IT.
That house is going to look fantastic when it's done! Yes! Powerwash it-! that's going to make a huge difference! And paint around the windows in white. :) ❤ watching the renovation !!!
Agree with the gutters and a soft wash w/ biocide will stop wall deterioration and improve the color. Thank you for showing us your progress. Enjoyed the "light filled windows" solution.
Thank you
Good job, stops the deterioration and buys you a lot of time for not much cost. It's probably not an issue here but you don't want to leave it too draughtproof right now, A good flow of air will help prevent the interior from getting damp and full of mould etc.
You are to be commended for saving that little house, most people would have simply bulldozed and not given it another thought. I'm looking forward to future episodes.
Glad to see you are making it watertight till Spring. Such a unique piece of history that is worth preserving and restoring.
Could have been a farm workers cottage. It’s amazing in times gone by how many people lived in a small space as I know in the village where we live. My husbands the village historian and the tiny cottage next door which would have been one downstairs room and a room upstairs housed the parents and seven children.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦!I have just watched three videos about the cottage and have completely enjoyed my travels to Ireland through your project. Thank you for sharing this adventure. You have a fine way of describing the history and planning for the cottage.
Thanks for tuning in all the way from Canada 👍
That is a brilliant idea to keep it water tight while you make your decisions. I’m happy to see you working on it. The little house intrigues me.🐝🤗❤️
Given that there were only two rooms, it's most likely that they slept in one room with the other room as a kitchen/living area as was common. I'm in southwest Scotland and that was the common thing in the mining villages and workers' cottages here. I'm enjoying watching your project with the building, it's great to see that there's some consideration going into its future when many people would be happy just to let it sit and rot.
Such an interesting place. Right now it would do for a playhouse for the girls. My neighbor had a house he fixed up and as each of his four kids came of age they moved in and lived there for a year or 3 till they got on their feet and moved on somewhere else. The locals got to calling it "Paul's weaning house." lol
I am in Washington State, USA. Enjoying this so much. I am glad you took on challenge of renovation. I agree, would make a great Air B and B. I love how others are assisting in research and to understand it's history!
Fair play to you Adrian. There's no question about your work ethic and commitment to a project. Take your time and scour all the sites and even the Sunday Markets will throw up some great finds that won't break the bank. Your pals in the building game will come across stuff too.
Thanks Gerard 👍
Great video, good ideas for saving the structure. I noticed the metal inside just above the ceilings, it is Marston Mat, more properly called pierced (or perforated) steel planking (PSP). Used a lot during and after WWII for temporary runways or repair for damaged runways and roads. There must have been enough of it around to use as reinforcement of the ceilings, or maybe as replacements for ceiling joists. Good luck with your cottage.
Great job, what an epic rescue.
It would be lovely to see that place loved and cherished again. Please consider a full restoration.
Another advantage of using clear perspex is that it will allow the sunlight to warm up in the inside too and that will also help to dry the house out a bit. Especially when spring and summer come around. If the chimney is still useable, it might be worth lighting a fire in the grate once or twice to help dry the house out further. Just to help it get over the winter and deteriorate any further. Much like the perspex in the windows really.
They would be a good idea Andrew but unfortunately the chimney has broke in two and is ready to fall over, might put my space heater into it now and again as I’m fixing at it
The Gate House would be a good name for the finished project.👍🏻
@@sharonheron7559 It was originally 'something View'. I can imagine whatever you could see from the bungalow is still there, unless it's something like mill view
@@GenaF It was Bog View - not very inspiring! 🥴. It was a Gate House before it was Bog View
@@sharonheron7559 oh it does need changing then, I agree
Very interesting project, and a fantastic little house. That shed part is important to keep for two reasons. First, as noted, it is protecting the mud (cob) wall. Second it is already in situ, so working with what is there is much easier to get planning permission for. Definitely clean it up and paint asap. The paint will help protect the outer skin on the walls. The back wall is a perfect example of what happens to cob and mud houses once exposed to water. Keep them dry and protected and they will last a very long time indeed. Let them get wet and the fall down in a very short time.
When you are done this could be a nice little earner for you as an AirBnB. Beautiful spot, and a house that can sleep 6 is worth a good weekly rental. At least you are starting with a home that is basically sound on the structural end of things. The rest can be sorted, and I cannot wait to see it progress
So many options with that cottage Adrian, great to have the opportunity to bring some life back to it and it’ll make a lovely quiet home for somebody 👍
I'm a little late finding you in Pt 3, but I'll do a catch-up.
This is right up my street of interest having rescued 4 old cottages (with a little help from family and friends!)
If only you had come along with your Perspex windows when the weather blasted out the last windows!
Weather is the ally of decay.
Subbed and liked, so see you next time.
Think the easy decision would be extended it back as the cottage needs the whole back wall renewed
Can't wait to see how the transformation on the house goes.
Thanks very much for preserving such heritage
Wet and forget will take that Algae off Adrian and no chemicals in it so won’t cause any further damage I use nearly every day myself bring it up lovely and bright for the middle of spring keep up the good work
Best. Gardening. Music. Ever.
i love waching your videos mate you go in to so mutch detail brilliant keep up the good work cant waight for the next .i was brought up on a farm in wales i miss working out doors your vidios are so refreshing to watch it goes to show how bloody hard it is to run a farm . exelent keep safe and well
I love watching you work, being able to put your hand to any repair. I enjoy your running dialogue as well. Cheers from Australia.
I am so looking forward to watching your progress on your hidden house.
Omg I loved the machine knocking the posts in. Didn’t know it existed. Brilliant
A good plan. We bought an old cottage in County Kerry in 2018 for 25k euros. 0.5 acre site. Well water, but lots of iron in it, and disconnected electricity and old septic tank. Worst aspect overgrown grounds and ditches clogged so damp as water couldn't run away. Cleared ditches and put in land drains. New guttering and a full gut out and renovation. Original thatch under 60 year old tin roof. Removed thatch for insurance and good nest for vermin. Flat roof to two rooms. Made 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchen. Layout not big, so bedrooms had en-suite. Sold it 2 years later for 69k euros. Stone built with soil mortar. Front wall must of collapsed many years earlier as concrete block. Original cottage layout was bedroom behind living room, with door at side of fireplace/chimney. Kitchen block extension, then other bedroom.
That post driver makes life a heck of a lot easier!!!
Greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Irish peeps 🙏💚 my favourite peeps of all 😊👍 thank you for giving this old cottage some love.
You've got so much energy, Adrian! It's great to see you achive so much with this little house 🏡
Depending on what it was used for, these houses did sometimes only have two rooms. If the family could afford to extend, they would usually add another bedroom at the gable end, making the house longer ❤️
I'm loving watching your progress, anyway!
In Scotland a two room house as you describe was known as a "Butt and Ben". A lot of the old croft houses were built that way.
Great job Adrian. You certainly are very handy with the DIY power tools you made short work on weather proofing the windows!! It gave me an idea on an old house we have.
I found this video intruiging,this is obviously a building that has history so should be preserved,I'm looking forward to more videos on it many thanks
This video was a nice surprise in my feed I loved the last one , it’s so exciting to see the cottage and the land changing ♥️
Good man preserving this, so many were left to go to rack and ruin in the 60’s & 70’s.
Small world though! I used to spend time in the summers at my Uncles farm just up the road until 1975! Still as windy and wet as I remember it.
Just a suggestion for the cottage. Flat-roof part of the roof and make it into a deck area. Lovely vista for a an elevated open-air b-b-q on a Summers day. or . . . extend the roof from the back wall with a decking area and an open-air sunk hot tub Jacuzzi! You'll do a great job yourself, of that I'm sure.
Great video Adrian. Nice change from the day to day tasks of farming. Looking forward to seeing the final outcome
Loved watching you work on the cottage
Hard work is what gets you places
Absolutely love this series, I do hope you preserve the look of the front of the property, to keep it's historical appearance. I think I would build out the back, to kill 2 birds with one stone! Thank you for doing this video log.
I enjoy watching you work. You make it look so easy.
The cottage where my Mother was born and raised, only had two rooms, for eight people. Kiskeem, Co. Cork. My Uncle still lives there. ☘️🇮🇪
Watching you with relish from New Zealand. Just loving it. You motivate me to get up and do something 😀
Love this little cottage and can’t wait for the next video already 😂
It's amazing what modern machinery can do for you . Imagine thd hours of work to do it all by hand .
Super stuff Adrian. Great to see commitment to taking something like this on.
My grandfather house only two bedrooms and fourteen of them live in it back in fifty. Lovely little house to do up.
That wouldn’t be uncommon Patrick 👍
Love the little cottage.
I love this sort of video. I think you certainly should NOT bulldoze it down, that would be an absolute shame. I say make that house great again.
really like the videos...cant wait to see the progress of the work will be a lovely home when finished...another one saved
Looking forward to the further renovation work!!
Ready to move in. People are too fussy. Really enjoy the vids, this one educationally different.
Cannot wait to follow your restoration. Bravo!
What a stunning place to live.
Would love to see it being restored.!!
Hello from Texas!
So excited to see how the cottage lives on, absolutely love your videos on them.
This would be an epic renovation project and I'd be so at home doing something like that
I appreciate how precious your family is to you.
Great to see the cabin. To me it never appeared to be a school house even though I wasn’t sure being that you’re in Ireland and I’m in the US. It just didn’t look like you’d expect an old school house to be setup with at least a large room for the students. Anyway, it’s a beautiful location and a chance to preserve history. Whatever you decide it will be fun to go along and see what you do with it. It’s good you’ll have time to mull it over and then you and your family decide. I would imagine seeing which is most cost effective. I think someone mentioned sells and farmer’s markets and they like. Those are really good ideas. Even people renovating can sometimes have good items they just don’t want anymore and will sell them cheap or give them away. In any case I’m looking forward to seeing whatever you decide to do. I wish you and your family the best.
Thanks Donna
My Granfather was brought up in Thurles, in a house no bigger than that. It had one room and everybody did everything in that one room. There was 8 children and two adults in it.
I adore cottages, took me awhile to rebuild mine - nowhere as old as this one (1926) and mine was all built of wood.
Hi from Australia. 🌏 Love watching your progress. Keep up the great work. 😁
Thanks for tuning in from down under Margaret 👍
Modern tractor technology is amazing. Imagine the time and effort it would take to hammer those posts manually.
Would keep you in good shape
@@oscarosullivan4513 That’s very true.
Thank you for continuing to share these videos.
Nice job Adrian! The dewalt tools are coming in handy. 👍
Every time you drive a screw into the existing structure I am amazed that it takes
Watching you from Iowa, in the U.S. Now I'm wondering about not just the history of this cottage, but how any cottage of this era would have been built. When you expand it for the bedrooms and kitchen will you stick to the traditional methods? Will it be a traditional layout? Loving this project!
Tidy job Adrian, that’s a great stand that cottage, view of the road from front of the house. Be a lovely site for one of the kids down the line
Very interesting almost a blank canvas. As you need to take the back wall off anyway, that would be an idea way to extend. If by doing that, some of the other rooms can be enlarged just a little. For me i would still like the kitchen at the back of the house, if that's where the better views are. If you restore/replace the chimney and have a cooking range. Wow like you said so many ideas to think through. Just have fun with it...
Consider a French drain around your foundation. Watching from Killarney Ontario Canada. This is an awesome start. Can’t wait to see you get started. 😊
Brilliantly done , better than some so called professional window fitters I could mention.
New to your channel, looking forward to seeing what your going to do to this old cottage
What beautiful countryside
The plastic panels you put on your windows are the same thing I use on my house here in Florida as hurricane windows . You're right, they're TOUGH! You might consider incorporating one or two into your roof if you redo it. They make great skylights.
That old deteriorated wall can be removed and the new back walls formed up with ICF, poured in place, and then the interior and exterior surfaces can be parged. You'll end up with a foot-thick exterior wall, like you have now, solid as hell, which are self-insulated and will keep out noise. Battens can be easily screwed to the inside surface so that more insulation can be used on the interior side behind gypsum wall board. There will also be built-in nailers in the foam forms that are excellent to hang purlins or horizontal exterior siding off of, should you be of a mind to install some kind of siding. The really sweet thing about ICF's is that, once you get the first course in level and plumb, the rest go in very quick; and, unlike conventional concrete forms which are very heavy and difficult to wrangle, ICF forms are very light and can be coped on the top, bottom, and ends to mate to uneven surfaces using nothing more than a keyhole saw.
remove all back wall when you're at it anyway and extend out that way with new part. Modernise what's left but somehow keep a taste of the old in it too. That would be my idea anyway 👍 hope all works well with it
Great use of perspex 😊👌 weather tight its getting there
When you get the time have a look at R House Scotland there's awe house pvc coated tin roof larch cladding to new part of house. And rendered smooth old part of house great idea having access around the house gravel. big drainage pipe take away any water 👌 guttering powerwash and chimney taken down will a great help and patch up and preserve the house to many old irish houses are being reclaimed by nature 👍
Love these sorts of videos and projects - will subscribe to make sure I can see future updates.
Glad your enjoying them 👍
Anyway to prevent water damage is a good thing and paint can actually help preserve the stone.
I'm enjoying your no-problem approach to getting things done. One warning: beware renting any future property out to people you don't know (eg AirBnB). I live in rural France, and many, many rural houses & farms are being rented out by ne'er do wells, who get up to all sorts of illegal activites, some of them too dark to mention here. Just a warning, I hope it doesn't happen in rural Ireland as well....
3 videos on the cottage has got nearly 1 million views all together so far, that amazing.
Another interesting video Adrian, fencing looks great around the bungalow, the last post tractor hammered in would of been a nightmare using a sledgehammer 🤪 all the work on the windows and doors will definitely help keep the moisture out over winter.
It's going to be beautiful when it's done.
I'm looking forward to more progress, keep up the good work. 😀👍
Just Rediscovered your channel, I’m really enjoying your videos, baby calf’s are the cutest! Also looking forward to watching you renovate this area.
A lot of work..... well done. There is a lovely view from the cottage!
Aww it’s going to be so lovely. Agree with ur daughter paint it outside!
Beautiful little gem.
