Stellar transformation - well done all of you. Amazing transformation so far. Who says hard work doesn’t pay off. Your son must be pinching himself to be here in all this woodland beauty and learning just about everything on homesteading! What a gift you have given your son. If only all kids could be exposed to your lovely parenting and direction.
@@Here_kitty_kitty1 He has a couple more months studying for his GCSE A levels in the UK then he will become Noel’s apprentice. That, along with the outdoor life will be the making of a man. 😃👍🏡👋🌲❤️
I have just found your Channel and have subscribed ❤-l am thrilled to be able to look back on your journey and adventures. Love your style of presenting. Your story brings back happy memories with all the ups and downs of when we renovated /built our home 30 yrs ago with our 3 tiny children - still not finished 🥲but loving the life. Thank you for sharing x
The round up has reinforced the problems you encountered along the way but also how much you have achieved. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here. Is Noel going back over or waiting till the better weather? Whichever stay safe and roll on the next chapters. Hope 2025 will be a great year and you will see your dream turn into reality. Eleanor
So lovely to see all the progress you've made, Dearest Jill. Its been quite a year. Sorry to hear you've faced sad news too. May Grace surround you & yours... as Blessings flow in the coming new year. Looking forward to witnessing your journey... & hopefully catching up soon. All my love to you & yours. Enjoy the view! 😉 jules
The thing you found in the shed that you thought was for carrying water is part of a horses tackling we used call it a Quinn not sure it’s the right spelling, its for connecting a harrow or plough to the horses tackling.
Yet another beautiful Irish cottage surrounded by those horrible Sitka Spruce they’ve planted everywhere. Recently after storm Darragh there was an elderly man cut off for 5 days while they cut up all the fallen trees & restored the fallen power lines.
Noel was disappointed the slab wasn’t laid before Christmas but yes, it is satisfying to recognise the progress. Thanks for your kind words of support. 🙏❤️
@TheHiddenHouseIreland that is so exciting I can't wait to see what you do with the house and land! Morri is doing great, the doc saw her today and is really happy with her progress! 1 more week of drops and hopefully we'll get the all clear thank God!
@@morrigans_cottageI really felt for you when you were retelling the story in your Christmas video. I’m so glad you ate over the worst. It must be such a relief. Xxx
Hello! Just subscribed to your channel. We’ll be watching with interest as we hope to do some re-wilding ourselves once we’ve settled in and get this busy 12 months out of the way. Really glad to have found you. 😊🙌❤️🏡
Hi, just discovered you about 30 minutes ago. Have subscribed! You have a lovely soothing engaging voice - you should look for professional jobs doing this to augment your Kerry project. It sounds like the Kerry people are accepting you - another British couple restoring our cottages and houses in Ireland - good on you!
Nice update! Are you interested in reviewing our 6-in-1 drinking water tester? It can test bacteria, virus, microplastic, heavy metal, and weed killer, etc! We're sure that you'll love it.
Hi from Myanmar! Ii have exactly the same toilet! That is so funny. We use it as a compost toilet with saw dust and pee separately. Works great. We have a special compost place for it in the garden. No problems. Better than most of the toilet's here
I just subscribed to your channel. I'm really curious how this is going to turn out. But I know it will because I watched several of these channels lol much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 PS I lived in Belfast Northern Ireland back in 1999 to 2001
Wow what a big difference from day one,your doing a fantastic job ,it’s lovely to see the progress up here so much has been done in that time Happy New year to you all and hope to see you in the new year so sorry to read you’ve had sad news Heather and Pete and the furbabies
@@hevsmithson6574 It was fun making this video recap, and certainly it shows how much changed once Pete came on board. Yes looking forward to seeing you next year… or rather this year, depending she. You read this. 🤣 Big hugs to you both. ❤️
I noticed there are concrete paths around the house. These are a disaster for old rubble stone walls as they trap the damp in the lower walls. The first 6” out from the walls should be gravel dug down at least 9” below floor level. After a year the damp will subside.
I thought you had stopped doing UA-cam! Good to see you guys back! Looking forward to seeing more videos! ✌🏻💞😊
Hi Lynn, no we haven’t stopped, just balancing life between Ireland and the UK for now. 😃👍

Ah thanks so much Jane. Welcome. That sounds like a very long project, lol. It’s not always about arriving… it’s the journey! 🙌👍❤️
That's a lot of progress. Hello 2025, New Year, New ideas, and Big changes. Good luck!!!
Thank you so much. Happy New Year to you too 😃❤️
Good to see you back. All the best for 2025 xx
Thank you Cherry. The same to you. ❤️

The weather is quite mild at the moment and Noel’s chomping at the bit to get the slab laid. Thanks for your support and kind words Eleanor. 😃🙏❤️

Haha - the view from the roof… I like that analogy. Happy New Year Jules. I hope we can catch up soon. Much love and big hugs 😃🙏❤️❤️❤️
The thing you found in the shed that you thought was for carrying water is part of a horses tackling we used call it a Quinn not sure it’s the right spelling, its for connecting a harrow or plough to the horses tackling.
It could have been for a pony although we know they kept cows and bulls. It’s definitely not for carrying water though as I thought! 🤣
Lovely to catch-up with your progress. Happy New Year 🎉 x
Happy New Year to you too Bev x
Brilliant summary of the past 3 years, Time has certainly gone quickly…Bravo to you both.👍😊👏
Thank you Taymond. 😊
Yet another beautiful Irish cottage surrounded by those horrible Sitka Spruce they’ve planted everywhere.
Recently after storm Darragh there was an elderly man cut off for 5 days while they cut up all the fallen trees & restored the fallen power lines.
They do make a good wind break which we’re grateful for being high up on a hill. 😊
Amazing! Well, 3 years will go by rather quickly❤❤❤
I imagine it will Carolyn. Happy New Year to you. 😃❤️
Don't you feel thrilled when you look back at how far you have come? As soon as the weather improves, there will be more developments. I can't wait.
Noel was disappointed the slab wasn’t laid before Christmas but yes, it is satisfying to recognise the progress. Thanks for your kind words of support. 🙏❤️
Great to see you back again. Good luck with the rest of the build 😊😊😊
Can't believe it's been 3 years already! ❤
I know, me neither. Things should start changing quite rapidly now though. The waiting game is over. 🙌❤️
It was so lovely to watch back the journey so far, looking forward to seeing what ye get done in 2025❤
It’ll all be happening soon. Things are astir already! How’s Morrigan? I’m glued to your channel for an update. Big hugs xxx

Thank you so much Valerie. All the best for the coming year. 😃❤️
10:57 is a swingle tree and it balances the load on the harness for more efficient pulling.
What a great name. Makes sense now you explain it. Thanks for watching. 😊
You had sooo beautiful curtains; I hope you kept them!
Happy new year!🥳
I think they went in the skip 🤣
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland Oh nooooo!!!😂
Pretty sunset!😊

Great, you found water! And got electricity!
Both a huge game-changer! 🙌
Just found your channel. Now hooked.What County are you in? Looking forward to updates.
Best of luck for 2025 from Dublin.
Fabulous! Welcome 🤗 n board. We’re in Kerry. Thanks for your kind words of support. 😃🙌🏡❤️
Glad you are back. Can’t wait to see your progress.
Thank you! ❤️🙌
I noticed there are concrete paths around the house. These are a disaster for old rubble stone walls as they trap the damp in the lower walls.
The first 6” out from the walls should be gravel dug down at least 9” below floor level. After a year the damp will subside.
Don’t worry, they’ve been removed. A French drain will replace them. 😊
What's a French drain then@@TheHiddenHouseIreland
@ gravel
My elderly friend used those buckets with no base left to protect plants...
Great job what is the music you played😊
I listed it in the description. 👍
Please tell me you found your dog after it got lost in the forest?
Not giving any spoilers… you’ll need to watch. 👍😊
He's like Doug Scott your Noel
O think that’s a compliment 🤣🙌❤️
A very slow renovation- more like a Broken-down ghost train than a Rollercoaster 😂
@@carlyonbay45 a rollercoaster of emotion believe me.
Always better if there is no narration and time lapsed.
Interesting. People have told us they enjoy the storytelling style Norman.
Is it ready for migrant housing yet?
That’ll be me.
Stupid comment
U r dog fanciedthe water deviner ,i c. Get him a girlfriend.or oyfriend.
He’s really not fussy 🤣
Congratulations for your efforts! 😁It is very challenging in many directions...but important is not giving up. Happy new year!🥂🎉
Thank you! You too!🙌👍
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland Thank you!🙂
Lovely
Thanks Phil
