I saw part three first, was impressed enough, but wondered if I should see the first two. And the surprise to see the state of the area, at the start! You have put in so much work already, and I am excited to follow the process!
I'm glad you took the advice of other not to pull the old building down. That is a piece of our history and as you said, someone had a life there and probably raised a family there. With the price of property these days too making it so difficult for young people to get onto the property ladder it would definitely be worth keeping and maybe doing something with it for your kids possibly. I just think it would be class to save the old building anyway.
I'm *not* second-guessing! You're getting it done and fast! I'm just sharing my thoughts. I saw a later video first, when the house is an island in gravel. Seeing how wide the little woods were, I'm surprised you didn't leave a tree or two, out from the house a bit. I guess it might be a construction thing. Or wanting to choose your own plantings, maybe? Ah. Partly because of the power lines.
I really hope a local woodturner got the Yew tree... that is highly prized wood.
Great project.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
What beautiful, lush country side and having a small cottage in the Midst of it, WOW, that is living.
You could always rent it out untill the kids are older.. class wee spot, and from watching your videos we know you'll do a great job. Inexpensive yet well done. Looking forward to the updates😊
*until* one ‘L’
Man is recovering from a cold but still ploughs into his work, proper hard grafter Adrian. I can’t wait to see it fully opened up. There are new grants for them building so make sure to look into it soon.
How exciting.I love to see an old place brought back from the brink ,and these days there’s quite a few of those going on ,and I marvel at the enterprising souls taking them on and working miracles.I look forward to seeing your miracle take shape.Thank you.❤
So happy your not pulling it down , it deserves some TLC ❤
I'm not sure the cottage is completely recoverable, but I applaud the man's idea ... something from the past 'up if not actually running again' stirs a part of my soul.
Great project Adrian, right up my street. I love to preserve as much old stuff around the place as possible rather than going in all gun's blazing - when you think of the effort and work put into these building's back in the day, the least we can do is give it some respect.
What a beautiful little old cottage, I was brought up on my grandfather’s farms when I was a little fella, miss those days. New subscriber this channel is great.
Great new project Adrian can't wait to see you clearing it up more and watch it change, keep up the good work and great videos
Really enjoyed watching and happy your going to rehab the place. Will of course follow your progress. Thanks for sharing, Deb
What a hard working man
The wee cottage house 🏠 probably stayed in good nick 👍 because of all the trees 🌳 surrounding it protecting it from the elements
Yes I agree with you, we will have to weather seal it now when it’s fully uncovered.
Well I wish you the best of luck on your new project 👍
Don't know what you call that wood in the ceiling over there, but in the US we call it 'tongue in groove.' You remind me of my Irish half, my Dad. He was never happier than when he was fixing, repairing or building something. Your enthusiasm for this old cottage is contagious. Good luck to you!
Adrian the best video yet, fantastic and they keep coming,you must have one hell of a following about your framing life. This achievement must make you very proud, as we the viewers really enjoy watching them.Job well done.👍.
Oh my goodness that is a great home, can’t wait to see the finished house. I still have the roll windows in my home. My house is close to 98 years old. No insulation and wiring still the same. It was my mom’s and dad’s home. Blessings to you and your family 🚜🌳🤗
From the USA, I love these restoration saving projects. Happy that you are going to save the house. Many Irish ancestors in my mothers family. Nason, Healey, McCormick's. Narragansett Bay
Love it! It is so similar to ours in many ways. Really glad you're restoring it! ❤
That is going to be so cool once you get it to the point that it's an actual house again... because who knows what the future holds for your family and your farm. Only the best, I truly hope.
That is amazing! So glad you are leaving it up and fixing it. Lots of history in those walls. Love your videos!
WOW I bet that little place was beautiful at one time. Did you see it when it was habitable?
Morning Adrian. Great new project. This will keep you busy through the autumn/winter. I am excited for you. I love watching these mystery building/clean up projects unfold.
Great to keep. Love that you keep all the nice logs for the fire. My Dad always said " The best crop a farmer can grow is houses but you can only do it once "
Government announced up to 50k
Grant for renovating derilect house's
at the ploughing coul
Don’t think it’s that simple though Michael, one viewer just mentioned it’s for a first time buyer and has to been there primary home. I’ll have to look into it properly to see what’s what
I came from a later part when you put on the temporary window coverings. Didn’t realize it was all covered with brush and trees before!
Awesome! Love seeing old houses being saved instead of being demolished. Your a man after my own heart with the chainsaw/cleaning up work, very satisfying. 👍
I thoroughly agree with you about occasional hard physical work. In later life I have become disabled and I miss it terribly.
Hiya Adrian when I saw the roof of the building awhile ago in one of your vids it never crossed my mind that you may own the property as you had never mentioned it before, anyway really looking forward to seeing the transformation into a usable home, and you can always rent it out as a holiday cottage until the kids are ready to live in it themselves.
Yea I honestly never really thought of it much till now, I won’t be getting any major work done to it for sometime but we will maintain it to keep it standing for sure. 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm main thing is to preserve the building so it doesn’t get any worse, even if you keep the tin roof and install some cheap secondhand windows doors and gutters… it’ll only go up in value
@@IFarmWeFarm Just getting the site cleared and keeping it water proof will be a major step in the right direction mate.
There is a huge amount of work and unseen issues in that. It will be very rewarding when completed.
There definitely is, would take a lot of time and funding to restore it for sure. Over time we’ll get it sorted
Looks great Adrian I refurbished a house just like yours 2 years ago lots of hard work but great results best of luck with it
A very satisfying day's work! And you can't but like a man who, spending his day out in the fresh air, working the land and cutting down trees but still needs a pine scented air freshener in the cab of his tractor.
"You don't get much more Irish than that!" as me Grannie used to say!
And I enjoy watching you use your chain saw. :)
Great to hear Irish accent again after years away in America. Where I live don’t get to hear it at all . I’m a carpenter so can appreciate your desires Adrian . One note to you on videoing 👍 Keep your looking at camera as volume goes in and out also more to do with connection to audience . I’m from North East Clare originally and not much good farm land 😂. Nice utube …
Very satisfying bit of work there Adrian.
This is fantastic! Love seeing an old house brought back to life. If you had water lines that near the surface here they would have frozen. Water lines must be 5 feet below grade minimum. Sewer lines are even deeper.
Absolutely amazing video. Please share more videos around the restoration.
Great video Adrian.lovely project to get stuck into. Looking forward to seeing its progress.
At first I was like-why would you cut down those mature trees?! And then I saw how close to the building they were-grown trees. No trees should within several meters of building, if you don't want it to collapse. As my granddad always says-as tall as tree is above ground as big are its roots beneath. Plus the possibility of tree colapsing on the building. So it is actually logical to cut them and perhaps if you want some trees you can plant new ones further away. I am looking foward what will come from this project. I definitely think it's worth keeping the structure.
I think cutting wood brings us back to the roots of humanity and necessity. It taps into the fundamentals of survival, something most of us lost a long time ago. It embraces the simplicity of life, it encourages the manhood of working with your hands.
Thats why cutting wood feels good even when it doesnt.
You are a very busy man Adrian and i love youre videos
my dad house still has the roll windows. very old. had there since I was a kid and they still work.
Adrian just found your channel and I'm hooked! Really looking forward to see how this project works out. I too was happy to hear what your plans for the building are. Blessings from Shropshire mate.
A lot of people on here are saying get it done up and rented out but I think differently Adrian, I say tidy it up and everything so you can see what your working with and if you do things slowly it’ll be done by the time your children are ready for it, the biggest thing to do with it is to not rush, get it planned out and think things through, last thing you want is to make a mess of it for the next generation. No cutting corners or anything, do it once and do it right
Yes I agree, i like taking my time and doing a bit of research first. I will definitely do my best to get it right. First thing will be to make it water tight so it doesn’t deteriorate any further and then see what we can and can’t do regarding regulations. Looking forward to the challenge as this is the type work I really enjoy. 👍
Really enjoyed the video 😁 Thank you for sharing 🙏 🌸☺️ NZ
Ooh!! Air b&b and farm stays!!😍
I watched the videos on the cottage backwards ending with this one, can't wait to see what you do with it. The whole area is beautiful 🥰
I did the same. Subscribed so I can see any further videos on this cottage.
Up to 50k grants to fix up old rural cottages in budget last week.
Great project for you Adrian very exciting bringing it back to life good luck with it
What a hardworking fellas he is.
I love what he’s doing so interesting looking in depth at how people lived back in the day. Really enjoyed this video thank you
Great video you are 100%right to leave it be and do it up great to see them type houses been done up can't wait to see what they out come of it 😀 👍
Great video Adrian. Love projects like that. Look forward to seeing the next phase.
Adrian always keep your phone with you when your working on your own. Unfortunately accidents do happen, stay safe
I fairness that’s a very good point David 👍
Hi Adrian, great stuff lovely job its great to see you putting it back to life.
You may get a digger for yourself.
Keep the good work up
Great video and wonderful camera work. Thanks.
Great wee project Adrian, as you say it's dry so thats a great start for a restoration job.
Would be great to know who the last inhabitants were . Keep up the good work
Great to hear your not demolishing the old house,it will come in handy some day.
Adrian u are a great worker, u never seem to rest great man love u videos as aways, kieran from Laghey donegal town
What a great project to get stuck into. That will keep you out of mischief for a year or so 🙂👍🏼I will enjoy following your progress, good luck with it mate.
Cheers Ian
Stunning to think you are going to turn this place around! What happen to all the windows? Were the taken out and reused or just broken out by kids?
Really interesting please show more of the work you do on this house.
I love those kinds of projects! Cracking little place to have especially if you could rent it out for a little extra income 🤔. I’ve come to learn you never pull a building down especially if it’s set up well under the years of mess. Good luck with it 🤞👍
Some spot Adrian, you can just see the history as you walk through it, That wee window you love looking out at front door, I can imagine someone looking through it and saying there the Aul skitter Morris, what he looking now lol. Great job and fair play
My kids won’t go near it as they reckon she’s haunted, I could have some fun with that one 😁
Great Video. Best of luck with it. Do you remember the folks that lived there? Always fascinating walking around those kind of places.
Best of luck with your purchase can't wait to see what it will look like finished 👍
Great video Adrian! With the way planning regs are going you'd be mad to knock something like that!
Looking forward to seeing this project as it moves along week by week or as often as you can post videos on it. Best of luck with it.
I love it! I can't wait to see what you do to the place. It would be wonderful if when your kids grow up to have a starter home away from home and one day you see a mess of grand kids topping the hill on their way to grandads. That would be a beautiful sight to see. :) :) Yes I know the cabin is too small for a mess of grand kids but you can build on at some point. :)
Great project, properly built. I have a machine coming in this week for a clear up, pretty sure I won't find such a treasure! Great video Adrain
Looks like a fun project. To clear the surrounding a mulch head would come in handy.😎
Lovely project to have be an ideal site for the kids it'll be nice to see how it progresses
Well done adrian very exciting project be a shame to pull it down looks to be a strong well built house brilliant video
Adrian, i think I'm as excited as you. Great work, looking forward to following this project. Wishing you well. Bob
Great to find this channel.... looks like there's no scarcity of money farming in good old Cavan.. love this type of thing.. Good luck..
Nice one Adrian, have to agree with you, always love cutting and clearing land, also, rebuild the house, you be amazed how many people would love to rent a small cottage in the countryside, keep at her Lad!
The potential of the house is amazing. I look forward to see what you do with it.
Make a lovely little holiday cottage 🏡, and watch that paint work on the the loader don't scratch it 😀, looking forward to see what you have coming maybe a digger 🤔
Great video, it's funny how long we've all been watching the channel and never even knew about it 😂
Love that ur keeping the óld building its better built than a house u get now
Nice little Holiday let. I would come over and see you and stay there.
I’m so excited to see this project start up! What a great place to have your girls’ in the future!
Can’t wait to see how you fix it up …👍
Enjoyed that Adrian, fantastic project in the offing. An I Farm We Farm episode of Grand Designs if you will, look forward to seeing what it offers up, the challenges encountered and the final outcome. Good luck and I hope you are feeling better. Slainte mhath
Good man Adrian, definetly the right choice. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out and good luck with it 👍🏼
looking forward to watching you clear up the site and turn that house into a livable building Adrian
We will be finished the site tomorrow, it’s all cleared. Looks very different now.
Hi Adrian, be sure to check on whether the corrugated material on the roof of the old cottage contains asbestos. You might need a specialist to handle it, as it is very hazardous to health.
No thankfully all clear there Gerry, ya there was a lot of asbestos used in them days
Some project to take on Adrian, knowing your style of doing things there'll be no short corners taking. Looking forward to seeing project completed.
Great job Adrian, a going wee place many years ago, knowing you, it will be a good job when finished, as always, a nice project.
Once again Adrian your working magic your grand children could be greeting you in that house some day,best of luck
You definitely should reno that building. Folks LOVE reno vids....you could get a lot of UA-cam mileage fixing that place up. I would sure come by more often for that. 😉👍
this was my favourite job clearing wood around farms wish i was still doing it
Good position for access to that top shed👍🏻
People will enjoy the process of restoration on YT. Your channel will increase in size with people enjoying the work and progress. I know I will. You also just pulled a couple cords of firewood out of there for the winter. I know what you mean about operating a chainsaw- I love that work too. Maith thu.
Are doing a before and after view for the road. Good job so far
All that will be covered lad 👍
Funny I’m the same Adrian, love working away at sticks and clearing off a bit of land. You have plenty of sticks to keep you going but as the man says you get warmed a few times when gathering up sticks! Lot of work at them
Great video again Adrian.
Looking forward to this project
