Hello Jill,I’m your neighbor from down the road Heather I just pop up to have a look and wow is all I can say you’ve done so much since last year when I popped up to help find Roy,I shall be watching your build from know on take care and all the very best with it all xx
Hiiii Heather! Just spoken to Noel and he told me about your visit. He's reaaaallly pleased, and you're a Godsend! He's keeping busy but somedays its pretty lonesome so always glad to connect with near neighbours. Thanks so much for reaching out.
Good you got a bit more space anything that makes things a bit easier good luck fir the work be hard but worth it tc now all the oldies 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
@@annjarvis9300 Yes, it’s much better Ann. Can’t imagine how we managed last year in that tiny caravan. 🤣
Unbelivebel so much energie as you 2 got I don,t now what age you are but it,s amasing Stil got time to cook 😮it,s going to be wonderful I hope you stay healthy very good luck greetings from holland
We are probably older than the average renovators, but it’s now or never and we had to go for it. 😊🏡🙌❤️
Things are changing fast! I'm sure bringing in the turf was a rough job but what a great way to connect with your neighbors! I hope your stew turned out delicious!
@@janetclaireSays Yes it’s good to keep in with the neighbours and pull your weight. We already benefit from goodwill in being able to use the neighbour’s water pump until we get our own supply. Dyer was disappointing in that after two hours the vegetables were still al dente! We ate it anyway, but pined for the slow cooker which always delivers comfort food. 😊❤️
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland Irish carrots are made of concrete!
Glad to see your progress ❤
Things are looking up. Well done. It’s so much work but also very exciting. Your stew looks yummy. Take care.
Thanks lovely. 🕊️🤍
Love to see the turf being brought home reminds me when we were small
And we all pitched in. The little house is taking shape and happy to see ye have a bigger caravan now. Like the misic😊
Me too. It’s copyright disqualified it from ads so I’ll need to be more careful in future, but it’s a good fit and works well so we’ll let it pass. 😊🙌👍
So nice you have new living quarters looks really nice so more room so happy for your family and live the terracotta roster the food roasting in it will be delicious and it’s recycled even better …..Love you Guys so happy 😃 you’re making progress …….Your Dreams are coming true could not happen to a better family !
Such kind words, thank you so much Mary. ❤️
Love seeing our old caravan, quite nostalgic, we loved it, it was great while we had it, we hope you really enjoy your time in it as much as us! Dying to see what is in the cupboard!! And absolutely loooooove the bread pot!! Where did you get it!! Looks amazing!
Yes, we are so happy with the caravan, the bed is really comfy: it’s nice inagining you using this space for the renovation journey too. Maybe we’ll pass it on to some other renovators like running a relay race lol. The bread pot is actually a chicken toaster I am told, although I imagine it would be a good vessel for a sourdough bake. It’s a charity shop fine. The local town has three good charity shops we frequent a lot for jumpers, jeans and waterproofs… and countless books as we don’t have WiFi! ❤️🙌
The old bring in the peat somethings never change was so amazing to see such a old tradition my Grandmother talked at this as a immigrant to America her Mother my great grandmother was from Galway
Yes they still keep the tradition going.
So lovely to follow your adventure! Great to see you, Dearest Jill. May you and yours be Blessed beyond measure... and may you always have a reason to smile. ❤️
Such a beautiful benediction Julie. Every blessing to you too. ❤️🕊️
A big bag of money in that cupboard that would be nice 😂😊
Haha - or a goose that lays golden eggs. 🤣
The hard work begins
Absolutely! 🙌
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland r u going to start the new extension or just focus on the old house for now
@@marcusd2380The foundation will be laid all at once, going through from old to new and that should be happening soon, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. So yes, the new build will run alongside the renovation. 🙌
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland good get the foundation and footing done during the summer months and put down good hard core around the outside. When it turns wet and cold u can’t have folk paddling through muck. Just slows everyone down. Just be prepared folk are going to let you down. Keeping to a time line will be impossible. Everything you go to do u will 100% focused on it and spend more than you planned. But it’s going to be fun and worth it when ur finished.
Love how farmers band together to help. Speaking of "band" - oh wow, "Sid and the Hammerdrills" were my favorite group back in the 70's - KIDDING, ONLY KIDDING, haha! It is a great band name - let us know when Sid's first album comes out. Hmmm, am I predicting the future for him? Roy is ready and waiting politely at the table for dinner. Super work done on the stone wall, both outside and inside - you made me laugh when you said how satisfying it is when a big chunk breaks off and I agree 100%. Great work on the ceiling and kitchen wall area. Your stew looks lovely. Did you precook the chicken pieces slightly first or were they raw with vegies, curious?
Sid really should be a musician in a band haha - he has the right name and the hair lol. I lightly fried the chicken to seal it before adding to the stew. It would have been really tasty, but the caravan’s oven is a bit poor and a slow cooker would have been much better. Not terribly efficient to put the generator on for two hours though just to slow cook out stew! Thanks for your kind words Tracy, you sound a pretty cool chick! 🙌🤣❤️
Yes so amazing
The rocks are so huge it’s mind boggling
And tricky to cut! 🤣
I watched the next video before this one! Will you be raising the ceiling height to the upper joist level? It’s great you can finally start the renovations.
@@margaretorden7568 Yes we will. 👍❤️
It’s a chicken roasting pot!!
Have you thought of a slow cooker for meals
Ah, that makes sense. It will definitely get used when we have a decent oven. We LOVE our slow cooker and it makes the best stew by far, but we don’t have electricity as yet, otherwise we would be using it all the time. Hopefully soon …🙌
Now that structure can breathe 🌬
@@guyemmott4009 the plan is to remove the render from the front of the house so it will be exposed stone on the outside. 😊
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland render..?
@@guyemmott4009 haha, yes render. Autocorrect on steroids! 🙄🤣
It is really coming on. IHave you moved out of the rental? Best wishes from Susan in East Yorkshire.
No, Sid and I are just on holiday here Susan. We have college and work commitments there for the time being. 😊
Seems to be progressing very well…Hope you get connected to the electrical supply soon.
Question ….What do you do for a working toilet ?
Great question. I’ll include details in the next video. It’s quite primitive! 🤣
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland 🤣
ahhh was waiting to see what was in your secret cupboard loll great video ,lots o f contend ,is sid your son?? love the dog ,hope ur stew was yummyxx
@@user-ww1yv8ue8p Haha - they call it hook and tease. Should be uploading again tomorrow so not too long to wait though. Yes, SId is our 16 year old. He’s working hard and learning to drive while we’re here (only on our lane mind!) 🙌
