You area real good husband I know your wife appreciates and loves you she loves her kitchen.What a man.
Ahh he's a keeper Patty 🙂
Claire you are one amazing, hard-working woman. No wonder your husband adores you.❤
Thank you 😊
Oh my goodness….running water! It was fantastic to see Clare’s reaction to it all especially the cooker! ❤ Feel your pain with the handwashing and boiling the kettles to fill it all lol Great idea with having a valve on each fitting and no leaks with new plumbing that’s a rarity in our house too! 😂 we’ve only had a dishwasher for the last 6 years or so before moving here so hand washed for a long time but after having a dishwasher we would definitely like one again when we get done here!
You really should be proud of yourself Rob, that wall looked great! Be seeing the track saws on lots of videos, looks like they make life a lot easier!
The food looked lovely, especially the chips! Love chips! ❤
Yes to have running water, a sink and a cooker all in one week was a bit overwhelming 🙈 I feel.like we have real house now 🤣
You both make me smile. Everythings coming along and taking shape. That meal looks delicious.
😊 thank you
agree,really delicious🤝
Congrats on the big kitchen milestone! Great work! I always enjoy watching your videos!
Thanks 🙂
💕 Onwards and upwards as the saying goes well done to you both💕
Thank you so much! 😊
You two are so cute! ❤❤❤ oooo that kiss! ❤ you are great couple!
Thanks for watching 🙂
Love the new sink and the cooker.Nice touch Rob and well deserved Clare. Yummy food too in your cool kitchen. 🎉
Thank you 😊
I have never had a dishwasher. I have five children. I handwash the dishes everyday 😂
Great job, nice to hear not everyone relies on a dishwasher 😊
why you didn't try?
I have never had a dishwasher, so we still wash up by hand. Prefer that to having to load and unload a washer, and having to buy extra crockery to compensate for the stuff in the washer.
Very true😊
Wow, a sink with running water. What a convenience. 🎉
Completely after 1 year without 🙂
It's looking brilliant, well done
Thankyou 😊
You're both getting your mojo back now with the build, keep at it, it looks amazing so far 👌 ❤
💪😊
Great gift to hard working wife. 😊😊
It sure is! 😉
Wow,this kitchen is great,even without doors. I am so glad for you both!!
Greetings from Austria/Styria
Haha thank you, it may be a while before we have floors however I feel the same 😊
Last night, I’m the dishwasher 😂. The kitchen is fab, great teamwork getting it to this stage. Hopefully seeing your accomplishments to date has given you some of your mojo back. Those bao buns look delicious, I’m going to give them a go.
Thank you, yes the Bao buns are very interesting to make worth a try 😊
I live in a shity bus In New Zealand and have just found your channel.Love your videos & amazing attitude to getting things done❤ Love everything about how the future is going to be for all of your family.Keep up the great work xxxxx
Aww thanks for the kind words, we are delighted to have you here along with us ☺

God Bless you Clare, you deserve that! Rob, you old smoothy lol!
Thank you 🥰
Hi Rob.You said you had a few meetings last week in the video I watched.What kind of work do you do as you are such a clever man.Lorna from 🏴🏴
Hey thanks and hello!! User Experience design of software or apps is what my career has been for the last few years, but I'm restless and try my hand at lots 😁
Great video 👏👏👏👏
Thankyou 😊
Looking wonderful all around! I think i need a track saw😂
You should!
I'm so happy for you both great job on both you. I love that cooker and yay a sink and a dishwasher woo hoo 🙂💐
Thanks so much! 😊
brilliant
👍😊
Hans GRoss - best plumbing parts. Its the one all the trades people recommend.
They do seem top notch
i wash up every day we did have dishwasher didnt like it. lol. love the cooker. kitchen coming together cant wait to see finished well done
The dishwasher is fine as long as it is properly used, dishes rinsed and stacked correctly. I did miss it 🙂
Yes, I still wash the dishes by hand, but only once a day now. Living alone and trying to cook once, eat twice means there are not too many dishes to wash up - thank goodness. Great progress towards the finishing line. Pauline
My mum is the same Pauline, no point to have a washer and actually it would take up to much space in her little kitchen 😊
@@WestCorkWander I do have one, it was in my apartment when I bought it. I think I have to run it every so often to keep it all in good order, so I do use it when there are visitors for lunch. I like to gaze at my courtyard and my plants while washing the dishes, it’s very therapeutic, and a clean kitchen is good for the soul.
they say the last 10% of renovating is the hardest, longest and most expensive part. Its all coming together and already is looking fabulous. Please, please, please close in above the kitchen cupboards - don't leave a gap.
Yes the gap will not be stay however it may take a while before we a chance to fill it 😊
Wow, so excited for you. Brilliant video x
Thank you 😊
Bao buns are your nephew’s favourite! Especially with shredded duck in hoisin sauce, cucumber & spring onions. He’ll educate you Rob 😊😅😉
Tell con man to bring his apron and he can show us all how their done and he can be famous 😁 Look forward to seeing y'all!
What make/model is that gorgeous looking cooker? I love it. And many congratulations on progress with the kitchen sink, dishwasher and upstairs, not to mention the floor.
By the way, I’m proud of you for taking up my challenge and making the bao buns. You did great. They can be bigger than the ones you made but they are limited as to how much filling they can hold. Also, to ,my memory, the dough has different ingredients (milk powder for instance) than you used giving you very white, extremely soft and fluffy buns. I applaud you for using what you had on hand and I reckon you were successful.I’ll get my thinking cap on to come up with another recipe challenge for you. 👏👏👏
Thanks so much for the challenge Maeve, love trying new things as I said especially when Rob cooks them 😂 The cooker is a Stanley Supreme 110cm all electric induction, exdemo from MD O Shea's.
I wasn't sold on the OSB when you first mentioned it, but seeing it in place is making me come around to the idea. It's a very contemporary look, but having the natural wood tones makes it work in that setting - Great job on the wall BTW.
You can see / sense a wee bit of relief in yis both now the boarding and floors are pretty much done - I'm happy for you as you could see the pressure taking its toll until today's episode.
Thank you for another great video, and a few more hunger pangs lol!
Slow and steady wins the race 💪
I still wash up by hand. My lot makes for loads to wash up. I fill the dishwasher then wash up all those large items pots, baking trays, serving trays as I lay out for self service. I hate messy things hanging about my kitchen. Has to be clean in that area! Also I stock foods dried goods and tinned goods. I buy flour in bulk as I cook everything from scratch. Prep to freeze. Just prepped stew packs make for easy days for stews, stockpots, and casseroles. And I bake pasties and deep filled pies to freeze. Even potatoes are great to prep and freeze. Mash, light boiled, three time cooked chips, sliced par boil pots for topping. Cakes a breads..yes, I am a manic cook and baker. My eldest is a chef, I was not given that option, straight out of school at fifteen and into a bakery..
Wow, but quite the expert in the kitchen😊
I’ve never had or want a dishwasher.
Handy for a large busy family, we never had one at home when I was small🙂
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you! 😊
Your kitchen is exactly what I’m hoping for! Love the Belfast sink and LOVE the cooker - I am on the hunt for a similar one that doesn’t cost a year of mortgage payments 😂 great vid lads ❤️
Plenty of second hand of both out there, you will find the right one when you need it 😉
Isn't that the beginning of that famous Irish blessing - the one that starts with "May the road rise to meet you"? (My husband's best friend is Irish and he has this all over his house LOL)
We have some really lovely sayings in Ireland, usually translated from Irish. That one is one of my favorites 😍
Lol,. never had a dishwasher, 5 kids !!!
Wow! I hope all five take turns😊
@@WestCorkWander yep they did, all grown up now , have great grandkids now!! Claire take my hat off to you with all the graft you do!! looking good and won't be long before it's all done!!
Well done Rob, 🎉Clare’s reaction to your work on the sinks and cooker was glorious. Have you tried making Shushi as you both enjoy fish. Like the new saw. Aine
Thanks Aine, we love sushi, yes that may have to go o on the list 🙂
i wash up by hands every time 🤭 we are only 2 🥰 my son and me🥰 so there isn't enough dishes for a dishwasher 😅
you both doing a great Job 👌 it looks great what you've done 😊 😇
greetings from germany 🤗
Wow, welcome, thank you for commenting 🙂
🎉🎉💪🤩 A tap, a dishwasher and a cooker your face said it all Clare. The house is really coming together now, as always great team work. Going to have a go at bao buns but did Google them first to see what they are 😁
They are very interesting to have a go at making I must say. Just need hot water now😉
How about a nice lamb curry rice salad n beer emmm what your favorite curry??? I stopped using dishwasher when the esb bill drastically decreased, hand washing now ,,
I don't mind handwashing and sometimes I think it's a better job, but then sometimes I love having the dishwasher 😊
Would not wish to ever go back to the days of not having a dishwasher 😮 arrrr
Love it 😆
Yummy😊❤
Thankyou 😊
