The cabin build that nearly broke us.

- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- As we try to build a cabin under our barn.. in just 4 weeks.. it's safe to say we are starting to get a little tired.
We have been going well so far though, and it's finally time to put the roof on, which, when its made up of the heaviest of our materials, on already tired bodies, it was a challenge?
A challenge made no easier by the unpredictable Irish weather!
With time running out, the weather playing havoc, ad everything starting to break (including us) moving into our tiny home in time for Christmas is looking less and less likely...

Hopefully you are enjoying this renovation series as much as we are, and we are managing to show you just some of the trials, tribulations, and work, involved when restoring an old traditional cottage AND building an off grid cabin to live in whilst we do!
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, including the local wildlife and nature mixed with our usual female foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!
Check out our older videos and follow our us journey attempting to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempted to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home with our dog and cat.

Evening all! We just want to wish you a very merry Christmas and say a massive THANK YOU for all the lovely comments and encouragement over the last little while.
We read every single one but are struggling to reply to you all at the moment (we are working on the cabin as we speak lol).
But we do appreciate them and find them a useful pick me up when energy is lacking, which the last few days is often!🤣😂
So thank you all so much! 😃😃
This build is epic and so enjoyable to watch and wot a way to end 2024. One question you haven't mentioned electric?are you running trunking on wall ! Best wishes for Xmas and the new year 🎉🎉🎉
@@campervibe above and beyond, totally above and beyond 👏👏👏👏👏🥂
Merry Christmas and I hope you both get some time to relax and unwind. 🧑🏻🎄🎄❤️
AWESOME!!
A very happy Christmas to you both AJ and summer ❤ xxx
Oh girls… so many camper UA-camrs I’ve followed have now started building/renovating a property, and I can’t deny, one or two of them are about as interesting as watching paint dry!
However - you two - it’s the banter between you that keeps me hooked!! Your personalities are what make this channel! I’m sure I’m not alone in this?!!😂😘
Brilliant, Happy new cabin Christmas. ❤❤
I agree with you Teresa. Some of them don't explain things properly & go into too much depth. Some have a monotone voice, that puts you in a coma🥱 They don't grab your interest. These two have more about them & like you said the banter. They also compliment & support each other, which is nice to see. They are so hard working & just brilliant.
💯 this! I've unsubbed from several channels that went down a similar path. But those channels never had the winning 'Camper Vibe' 😁
Louise, just one thing can you stop apologising for not doing some filming, there is no need to. The amount of work that you two have done in the timescale you've had to build the cabin is absolutely amazing! To steal a word from Emily you two have been troopers.. I'd like to wish you both, AJ and Summer a fantastic Christmas.
Happy Christmas to you both what an amazing job you are doing ❤🎅🏻🎁🎄😻
As I walked through a shopping centre in portlaoise a girl behind me said in a very English accent ' I'm not gonna lie Louise I love it'.. I turned around and they were laughing between themselves. I just asked are you supposed to be Emily.... YES YES YES the girl shouted. She was amazed that I had copped on.. we had a great chat about you two.... thanks for the great videos and have a brilliant Christmas xx
Merry Christmas girls, Summer & AJ, much love from us in Glasgow ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Christmas ladies! Much love being sent to you both, AJ and Summer! 💝 🎄 🎉 From my fur crew and myself here in central Ohio, USA.
My other half who is a builder just complimented you on your work and said that you are doing a fantastic job, much better than a lot of builders he knows! Have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄 Claire
Merry Christmas from Australia love u 2. Building legend!!!!!!!!!!❤
@sisterbluebird68 what a lovely compliment to Louise even Sam from the Irish homestead changed over his patio doors the thickness of his, is it called lentils? When he seen Louise's, good job girl's 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire
Merry Christmas from Arizona USA. I'm 81 yrs old & alone so you girls are very precious to me. Take care & God bless you both!
Have a great Christmas 🎄 ladies you deserve a rest such hard workers 👏👏
Merry Christmas 🎄 from Texas. I enjoy your videos!
Well done Louise and Emily…………you both have worked so hard. Have a lovely relaxing Christmas and just sit back and enjoy everything you have achieved so far❤️🎅🏻🎄☃️
Dream team strikes again.
Both doing amazing,be proud of yourselves.
Thank you, we are 🙂🙂
I cried when it rained, and clapped when the friends showed up! In between, I felt every grunt and groan as you persisted. Amazing!!! Happy Christmas ladies, we're all here cheering you on ❤
You two are nothing short of amazing. Louise you put most men to shame, your work ethic is to be admired. I hope you both have a wonderful Christmas and looking forward to more great things from you in 2025. With much love and admiration xx
You both take my breath away. Solid skills all around, building, filming, EDITING, relating, connecting. May the coming days bring you many comforts and joys. 🎄🤗
Bloody hell Ladies, what a monumental effort to get things done for Christmas, and then you had to show Louise literally crawling in to frame to wish everyone a merry Christmas, you had me in fcukin tears 😢. 😂.
I hope you have a brilliant Christmas and a healthy new year.
Stay safe Ladies xx
Merry Christmas ! Love to Both of You ! So happy Cindy is doing good. Cincinnati, OH. USA
Lovely Ladies, I am willing to bet that each & everyone of your 130 thousand subscribers are wishing (As I am) that we could be there to help you make the Chrissy deadline...although can Emily make coffee for 130 thousand thirsty workers? 🤣 But seriously, the hard yards that you two have put in are unbelievable! I am keeping all available digits crossed that you make it for Chrissy...but I (And my fellow 129,999 workers 🤪) all wish you a happy and safe Christmas. Cheers, Doons
Have a wonderful Christmas and maybe a little rest, laughter and fun, stay safe, I’m looking forward to sharing more adventures in 2025
🎄
Champions....bloody champions.
Excellent progress. Fair play to Philly & Keely for helping out. Happy Christmas 🤶
You work so well together as a team. That’s half the battle of getting a job done. ❤
You make my Sunday, my husband who's a builder all his life is now also addicted! He cannot find a fault in your work Louise and loves the banter between yourself and Emily. Have a wonderful Christmas and a good rest 😴
I do not know what it is about you guys that keeps an old Irish bloke living in the sticks glued to your channel! There is such good energy on display, that it just pulls you in! Wishing you a very -restful- happy Christmas and an amazing New Year from the other end of the west coast.
Guys , I cannot say how much I admire your sheer grit and determination. You are both amazing and your love for each other carries you through these hard and stressful times. Have a wonderful Christmas, and take time to enjoy your amazing life. Looking forward to your 2025 adventures, you lift my spirit ❤️
Absolutely incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding............
the amount of building work achieved by you both.
Really incredible............
Emily's outstanding achievement, carrying the very heavy roofing and helping put it in place, Amazing !!!!!!
Louise you are totally Amazing, outstanding achievement building your cosy home.
Well Done to both of you.
🍒Merry Christmas
Louise & Emily 🍒
two amazing hardworking loving kind women,
with beautiful AJ 🐶
&
beautiful Summer🐱

The professionalism in both the build and video editing is a joy to watch and you both work like trojans whilst helping AJ at the same time.Try and take it easy for a couple of days at least over Christmas and all the best for 2025.
2:32 😂 summer watching you from the campervan window 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
This Noggins term you keep using is cracking me up, over here we just call them spacers, but you're wall has magical Noggins holding it together 🤣
I call them noggins as well😎
@@bridgetsmiththerapies4401 I call em "thingies" because I'm not a trades person. 🤣
All that work for the love of AJ 🎉 you both deserve the most wonderful peaceful Christmas 🎄💞
Mighty work, mighty job and mighty women!!!! Fantastic altogether... happy solstice everyone ❤️
Now known in certain circles as the Midget Home Build 🤣😉 really well done guys your smashing it 🤙
Blimey colour me impressed. Watching you pair shows me just how old I now am. In my prime, 30 years back, I'd have been right with you, but in recent years, just fitting and plumbing Belfast sink into our refit kitchen, or building a new access door, and flooring previously wasted, walled off dead space under our stairs, as new storage, has left me as wrecked as you two were after that mammoth roof build. (and believe me the scale doesn't even begin to compare) So yeah - well done. I'm staggered.
Monumental effort here, I was so happy when I saw Philly & Keely lending a hand - even though they must be pretty broken too after their mammoth kitchen re-do. Hats off to all of you. I kept wishing I could have just popped along and got the insulation in for you both, to help get you closer to the finish line. I bet Christmas Day cannot come soon enough, but if it arrives along with a sense of home, and more space to all stretch out in, then it will hopefully have been (mostly) worth it! 🤞Brilliant job, Emily & Louise 👏
Happy Christmas you crazy kids!
🎄
Well done for you two doing all this hard work you are,doing love,love,love these vidios of your building your home
You two honestly, you work so hard and still have a laugh, my favourite subscription xx❤❤
OMG girls you rock. In total awe at what you have both achieved. Union have confirmed 48 hour down tools to commence Wednesday enjoy x
Ladies amazing work. I felt your pain when the rain arrived.
Ah how sweet😊 the little baby Worx saw is back. I remember him from your van build videos.....
Wishing you both AJ and Summer a wonderful Christmas. 🎄🥳🍻
Merry Christmas! From a Canadian stuck in a mountain pass waiting for bloody avalanche control to complete their business. To my surprise, I had wifi, and you brilliant ladies were the first video, yeah!!🎉
Brilliant and awesome work ladies….Louise… (Mrs Miagi)….. Emily…. (Grasshopper)….You have achieved an amazing amount in such a short timeframe, with you having to battle the winter elements as well. I’m not sure if I will be posting anything before Christmas so just in case not… Merry Christmas to you both. Try and chill, take a bit of time out, you have both earnt it. With many regards and respects.. Dave..
Have a well earned rest ladies. You’ve worked so hard. Love your channel and here’s to 2025 🎉🎉❤
I could hear your shouting, I've had enough, but you carried on like the troupers you are. 2024 hasn't been kind to us, my husband's diagnoses of C, was a shock , but treatment ,has set him on the right path. Your videos every week was something we looked forward to, and still do. It took us away from what we were dealing with. Wishing you both, and the fur babies, a lovely Christmas and a very happy, healthy new year.😘xxx
Best wishes to your husband and yourself on your journey to health!
@nick.caffrey thank you best wishes to you too 😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 my husband is a 15+ year survivor ! You will get on the other end of it!
@eileenbecker9245 thank you Eileen x
@@sharonlyon6512Aw hope everything carries on in the right direction for you both. Have a lovely Christmas together & may 2025 be a better one for you both. Sending love & positive vibes your way💕💕
You are a Team. Well done. Merry Christhmas Louise, Emily And fur Babys.🎄✨🎁🎀❤❤
You two bring me so much joy. I remember the days when me and my girlfriends would work a full bloody day on building projects. It’s so rewarding. Merry Christmas loves!
26:59 the way my head snapped up!! I'd know that laugh anywhere!! 😁
I love it when my favourite youtubers hang out. So excited to see the tiny house all completed. You guys have done such an amazing job, and it's been awesome to watch the progress. 😊💜💪
Happy Christmas to the best couple on UA-cam and beyond. Love to you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for becoming my family 😊❤
Sending hugs and kisses and all the best wishes (I'm a poet, it must be the Irish in me 😂) for Christmas to the fab four. But mostly to AJ. He has stolen my heart ❤️.
You two have worked so hard. You need to be very proud of yourself. Louise you are an amazing builder. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.🎄🎁🎊🎉🥂
Even if it says no rain, always expect the rain! It's a rare day in Ireland if you see no rain! Honestly so impressed, cabin is looking deadly! Merry Christmas!
When most of us are worrying about 'all the work' we have to do over Christmas, you two appear and remind us what hard work is!!!, so I think the rest of us should suck it up buttercup and crack on with our stress-free ( compared to this) lives!!...suitably self-beaten I will now approach Christmas with renewed vigour!...and you laugh your way through it all., amazeballs!!
Louise you will put many Men to shame in the building trade. Hats off to ya Gal your works exceptional. Happy Christmas to you both ❤🎉😊
Have a wonderful Christmas and please get some rest! Lordy that is a ton of work! Thank you for sharing your life with us and making us all feel like your close friends!❤ oh and AJ looks adorable in his holiday jumper!

Merry Christmas. Thank you for your wonderful vlogs the build is coming along super. You two are awsome🎄🎄
🎄
I must admit, you two are amazing. Did you teach yourselves all your building skills. I get so nervous trying to build. I know it's pathetic. I really need to overcome my doubts. You make it look so easy .
Brilliant editing again Louise, I so enjoy your work with that. Thanks for entertaining me so well. Loved it. Merry Christmas to you both xx
🎄
Gee,y’all work so hard! I missed you yesterday because I spent 12 hours driving to my sister’s house. While there is a difference of what you are doing and what I did in one day, I was exhausted. Plus, I am 74 and that makes a big difference. I’m so impressed with your work ethic and building this structure. Go ladies, you are the best. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year. I will miss your videos but you deserve your own time. Thanks again for making my day.🤗🤗🤗🤗
Merry Christmas ladies, brilliant achievement. Wishing you health and happiness for 2025.🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
Hi Emily and Louise. My wife and I have been watching your videos for years now and I'm ashamed to say I've never commented even though I've meant to! We love you two and the lovely relationship and chemistry you have complete with great banter and inuendos! We loved your travel videos and now we love your house renovation and cabin build videos. Great to see AJ doing so well and clearly enjoying life. Thank you both for the brilliant entertainment you have brought us over 2024. Looking forward to the 2025 content. Have a very Happy Christmas all of you.
You two are amazing!
You are knocking this out of the park! I'm full of admiration for both of you. You're both working flat out to make this happen and you will be able to spend Christmas in the cabin. No matter how much you achieved it was always going to be a work in progress on 25 December, so please be happy with what you've achieved by Christmas Eve and let yourselves be proud of what you've done. Foundation, floor, walls, windows, doors, roof. The rest will follow in due course. Merry Christmas.
Been waiting for this ALL day!
I found your channel because of Bex and Sam and am so happy I did! Lou and Em, you are inspirations! Keep on keeping on; your dream is right around the corner!
Mele Kalikimaka from Hawaii! Great job girls!

Happy Christmas to you both, please have a rest and enjoy the festivities. Take care xxx
Winter will be over at this rate! You can rest when the cabin is built. Get on with it ladies! This from someone who is curled up under a blanket watching you graft. We've had an unusual 🥶 snap & a 🌧 spell for the past 4 days. Loving it - Africa is hot as hell otherwise. I am really just pulling your legs. I know how desperate you are to move in.
😂😂 thanks we are definitely having a few days off over the Xmas period
Merry Christmas to you both, and thank you for the laughs, tears, and great entertainment you’ve been this year.
Happy Christmas to you and pets. I lived in a 4 berth caravan years ago in 2002 when I renovated a Cottage in Normandy France. Bought the Aluminium caravan in the UK Midlands for £300 and drove it to Normandy in my 1986 Volvo 740 estate. Brittany Ferries at the time were doing an offer where caravans go free! As it was so long put me in with the trucks! The cottage had electric, once re-connected, so hooked up the caravan lead to the cottage. Bolted the sky mini dish to the cottage wall and had a long 50ft cable to the caravan for TV! Phoned SKY on UK mobile to activate it!! Fitted a small multifuel stove by removing the wardrobe to create space. It was nice and cosy! Lived in it for 4-5 months while we renovated the small cottage.
Looking forward to your new video. Keep warm, and have a great Christmas. James.
And you've got Philly and Keely helping!! This is immense! 😍
You two are absolute power houses. It is looking amazing. Merry Christmas ladies.
Out of all my subscriptions I click like before I even click play and watch. 🤣 Have a great Christmas both of you , sit back you have earned it.

Ladies, you are absolute diamonds & I’m so happy you’ve landed in Ireland as your home ❤
Bringing back to life an old cottage & your current cabin, will be off the chart epic! 😊
Louise, your work is incredible and if it takes a timelapse to post and get through the project, it takes a timelapse!
Your support for each other, your own pets and too the wildlife collectively is indelible and heart-warming.
Thank you, sincerely, for sharing your journey with us thus far.
Wishing the four of you 😊 every happiness this Christmas and look forward to seeing your continued progress on this incredible adventure.
Best wishes,
🎄
Such an inspiration and yet, still so much fun! Laughing and joking makes the hard work go easier. All the best in the coming year and thank you, both, for bringing us smiles, love and joy all year round! Merry Christmas from Canada.
