I really enjoyed the video showing your last visit to the house and was delighted when I discovered this updated vid. The exterior walls washed up beautifully - seemed like the house took a deep breath of relief and happiness for the first time in years. Excited to see the rest of the ivy and that dreadful back shed come down and protector shed be built. Thank you for preserving the history of this little lovely cottage. Until next time - from Ontario, Canada.
Seems like this little gem needs some fast growing hedge for wind protection with more trees. Then later the foliage could be adjusted when some one moves in. This will be a fun journey.
House is thinking ‘ah sure ‘Tis a grand soft day’😊😊
Really enjoyed everything about this video! Excited to watch how the house changes & improves over time! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Cheers from Canada :)
Seeing how you take care of your farm and animals, this house will be done to a great standard too im sure. 😊
Some nice proffesional tv presenter style shots there near the end with you walking into the rooms.
Great Sunday viewing as always.
I like very much that you are looking to keep the history of this house instead of a bulldozing it down. Simple thing is the many colours on the trim, brilliant stuff.
Yay what everyone had been waiting to see! 👍oh wow that’s some high pressure cleaner , wish ours was that good! I have never seen anyone create a tap and connect to water that quick. You’re a clever man Adrian. Your plans sound amazing. Watching from Western Australia 👋
Morning Adrian, quite a challenge!! That coating is a product widely used in 60-70-80s it called “Tyrolean” finish, puerly a cosmetic enhancment used it on many jobs it was mixed into a sticky paste and applied by a series of flickers turned by hand on a spindle within a small hand held hopper, still available in various colours.
It sure is its on my home house its on it since the early 1970s its a devil to paint 😂
@@bernardobrien2196 It looks like what we call Stucco, and yes it's horrible to paint.
It will look good when it's done
Another great video has always Adrian and family 👍
So happy we’re starting on the cottage! It was how I found your channel, and I’ve been anticipating this rebuild for a while now. I know you have to fit it in with all the farm work but I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I imagine such a charming little place.🤗❤️🐝
AT LAST. I even went searching for you yesterday - yes yesterday, but couldn't remember the name of the UA-cam channel. Seems the universe had heard me saying , " it's about time we heard....." So, there you are. - We are. Standing at the point where you are doing what I would have done.
Adrian well done to yourself and Sinead and family on your tv appearance this evening great to see ye helping out the younger folk 👍😄
I am thrilled and excited about you "buttoning up" the old cottage. You are a star.
Adrian, the program i saw tonight raised by a village,
Well fair play to you and your family for helping that girl.
Your a pure legend and again fair play to ye all
She's shaking off the vines and cobwebs and standing taller!
Very well done Adrian. You did a great job on pressure washing the house. You will have lots of work to do but I know that if anyone can do it you can. One step at a time. I. Very sure that when you are finished,(however long that takes) you will have a cosy and comfortable home. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I enjoyed watching, and I have subscribed. I have watched other videos of restoring cottages and going off-grid by Brits who have relocated to Ireland from the UK. It's nice to hear an Irish accent.
Hi Adrian, you never mentioned that you’d be on RTE earlier on, what an incredible watch it was!!
Adrian, I built my own house and I renovated a small house like yours about 10 years ago, I did it over a period of about 7 years, the derelict house was stripped down to four walls and the roof and fully redone, I had friend with me on Saturdays and it took just over 12 months to complete, I got great enjoyment from it and would love to do another one sometime, but now I am renovating the farmyard and farm over the past 10 years sometime time it will all get done, my advise is take your time enjoy it and do it right and learn along the way! Best of luck with it!
Thanks for the update Adrian, I really like your idea of keeping the traditional look of the house too.
Best of luck with the work that's coming up, stay safe
A remarkable difference with such a small job completed and I concur with your thoughts on checking for faults in the render a great start for what is going to be a long and exciting restoration. A very informative video can't wait for further episodes.
Adrian thank you for saving this building. It is not about the money but preserving a cute old cottage. I’m sure you will enjoy the process.Im looking forward to watching. Love the aerial view…looks so charming. Does the cottage have a name?
Tyrolean render or Snowcem... I remember watching the builders apply it on my Father's new build in 1957, they called it 'snowcem' and it was applied from an open drum with a revolving cylindrical yard brush inside that spat the snowcem out. Nearly 70 years later the stuff still looks great.
And, Adrian, your videos are a Sunday morning joy. Thank you Sir.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Love the production of explaining the plan 👍😂
Aww the wee cottages is coming along nicely Adrian especially after it's pressure wash, before and after shots 😎👍
Have a lovely day Adrian ❤
Looking forward to the process of the rebuild. Love me a reno.
Nice ATV! 😊
So happy to see you back in action
Fantastic view at the end of your amazing video, the wee cottage stood in a beautiful field. Only thing missing your two four legged sidekicks. Bet they were lying in 😂 All the best for the future of your wonderful cottage.
When you were first walking around I thought, 'I would love to get a pressure washer to it!' And then you did!!
Greetings from Across the Pond from Minnesota USA.
Yes, i was one of many people wondering when you might be getting to work on the restoration of the cottage. I'm very excited to see you ❤️ starting again ❤️
Now it has begun! Looking forward to this journey Adrian. Just glad there wasn’t a strong wind with that grimace on yer coupon when power washing, reminded me of the expression on mine when the missus is parking the car 😬
Big job ahead fella
Wat a transformation in just washing the outside.
I wish i had so many talents like you adrian (althg im a woman),there is nothing you can't put your hand to...a man of all trades.Be lovely to see the cottage when it's complete,ive been following from the begining on it's journey.
Another happy subscriber of your video's.
I enjoyed this video very much! There’s something so rewarding about watching power washing, lol. Here in the states, we call that kind of render “stucko”. It was very popular in the 60’s and 70’s. But it’s a nightmare to get off. Good luck on the build!
The cleaning of years of grime and mould have made a a big difference to the old cottage.
such a great project - just do what the Mrs wants and you'll be grand, :)
So pleased I have found this channel
Another great video Adrian, will look smart with new build and original build combined, thought to my self when the sledgehammer came out, oh he’s finally going to do some labour work then🤪 we turned a big three story house (built in the 1700s) into 5x apartments, always more interesting to work with old buildings than new ones , anyway keep safe, oh good to see you shut the door before you washed down walls😜🍻🍻
Do you not watch regularly? Adrian is always doing "labour work".
Greetings from coastal New Jersey !
I enjoy your channel and marvel at all the skills you have mastered to keep your farm moving forward !
It is wonderful to hear of the thoughtful way you are approaching the restoration of the cottage and the intention to breathe life back into it , for you and others to enjoy ...well done !
Was in New Jersey many years ago, different world out there but I loved it. Follow a good few UA-camr in the area like Casey Neistate and Andrew Camarata in New York State. Also a big Soprano’s fan 😄
@@IFarmWeFarm Actually , I'm a long time transplant to New Jersey from the North Fork of Eastern Long Island , New York . I visited your beautiful country in '85 and '87 . Mother's people had roots there and the land resonated deeply with me...surprising , but undeniable...finally felt " at home " !!
May you and yours be safe , well and find joy in unexpected places !
Well, who knew that blue was under the green around the windows. Beautiful color in the sun.
I would rebuild the back wall but replace the window with a large window and door,makes it easy to add on in the future. Getting the windows and doors replaced to help weather proof the structure. Getting the old bathroom structure sound and weather tight is a must. Paint the outside and you can leave it till your sure what you want to do. A septic design for future is a good idea before laws change,Redo the house to live able now and addd on later makes alot of sense. Your always improving the farm,
Already a big improvement after the power wash. Good thoughts of renovating. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you the best.
Adrian, Kudos to you! Your end product on this cottage will no doubt be brilliant!!
You're going to have a real gem there when it's done great to see and really looking forward to watching it progress thanks for the effort you put in your videos
Yayy, a new challenge! I know you are excited to save some history. Yes, so many say just tear it down but that is being done way too often and national history is the poorer for it. I love those turquoise door and window frames, by the way.
A lot of work ahead of you my friend, I really hope that you can cope with it and the farm along with all the other commitments you have, good luck.
Adrian you’re a busy man. Remember to take some time for yourself 👍🏻🇨🇦💪🏻☘️
Rock on!!
Adrien you will do a great job on that house like you do good jobs on the farm you have great knowledge what you do looking forward to seeing it finished keep up the good work whatever you do keep the great videos coming
Lovely to hear more about the cottage... what a difference the pressure wash made!
Yes, better to plan ahead...
There's that old saying...
Those who fail to plan,
Plan to fail...
We look forward to future progress on the project...
Thanks for the update...
Goodonya from Australia!
Its gonna be a lot of hard yakka though!
Blessings to all ❤
Another saying is *Proper preparation prevents p**s poor performance* 👍
@@CB-xr1eg ...
Nailed it...!!!
She will look really special. A lot of work but the build history is important to keep.
I agree, keep the history. When Adrian first showed us the cottage, some people in the comments were saying knock it down and rebuild it. I'm dead against that as it destroys the history/character of the place. I'm glad Adrian has chosen renovation and will be tuning in to see how it goes.
Awesome 😊
When you have finished that just pop over and sort my drive and patio out 😂 another great video thank you.
Great video
Thankyou , you really explain a lot , the type of house what it needs what you can do .
And you are a busy Farming man that knows his priorities.
Great video Adrian good luck with it all
Thanks for the update :-D I look forward to watching future episodes!
Awesome to see an update! Blessings
Can’t wait to see the changes!
Its a great project and we are really excited to see what you have planned for it. I'm sure you will have it done well no matter what route you take. Very jealous of all the machinery! Could do with a good quad & trailer!
Hi Adrian. I just wanted to let you know that I love what you’re doing with the cottage also it is so nice to see you and your girls farming together.I am from outside Tullamore so you can figer out what has happened to my youngest daughter and I miss her so much, I hope my message doesn’t upset anyone

@@user-mh4sr9wg5b 🙏❤️

Great video Adrian. Lot of work on the cottage. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Cottage looks good cleaned up
Very good
Another great video Adrian 👍👍👍
THE COTTAGE WILL BE BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SWEETIE 💕
Mighty man Adrian,Iv an old cottage like you and have no long term plan with/for it,Iv always said i should seal it like you said and decide after that,Im not motivated by the grant either,Keep up ur good work and thanks so much for sharing your work and ideas with us.
Top of the Morning Adrian, (Although it's late at night whilst I type this) It was almost as if Spring missed a season without IFarm coming past too. Great to see you arrived back for more of the old cottage rebuild. It's going to be a busy time for all involved. Subbed and liked. Just to keep in touch with the progress of this fantastic redevelopment. 🖖
Great video Adrian
Great progress -- very nice video!
Great video as always 👍
All your videos have great content. All the best,from🇦🇺
Interesting video Adrian good clean up of the outside but a lot of work for you .
The Best of luck with your house Adrian 🎉🎉
Having just watched
Raised by the Village
'A lovely family' Sophia 14 💯
Thaught I was watching homes under the hammer towards the end
About time. Thats all why im here lol. Like your sun
"Basically 'dublin' the size of the house."
We see what you did there 😉
Yes it's back ❤
The place is unique... succes with your restoration...
Great video again, Adrian. Although I was expecting some artistic drawings on the house wall from the pressure washer, knowing your character Adrian 😂 lol
Good man! Enjoying watching along from New Zealand all the best. Bit of elbow grease 🫡
Just here for the accent and beautiful views. 😂❤
A quick paint and she’s ready for the rental market. 😂
For health and safety reasons with those old mud walls... you'll eventually knock the entire thing. Most of those old house rebuilds I've been on always come down. When you take away supporting walls, the gables would be swaying in a breeze.
Just shows what a tradesman you are when you cant reinforce and support before hand. Cowboy builders! all ill say is sometimes a little knowledge is dangerous.
You got a nice Easter haircut. 👍🐰🐣🐄
It looks a hell of a lot better for a wash, as you say you can see exactly what needs doing to it.
It sand and cement as a plasterer love you video from london
Hows things Adrian? Im a painter and one thing ive noticed is any old mass concrete or mass mud walls houses that have been renovated will always have trouble with mold regardless with insulated from inside or insulation on the outside walls. Demolish and start afresh will give you a lot less headaches. Looking forward to seeing the progress regardless which way you go about it.
Looks grand, now you've washed it just the exterior a coat of white wash and you could move in tomorrow. 🙂 But honestly you're quite right there is a lack of tradesmen, all the good ones are booked up for months or even a couple of years ahead. Plus let's not forget the cost of materials that have gone through the roof, if you need anything specialized then you'd better start thinking about taking out a mortgage. With regards to your render, if the mounds are smooth it's likely to be lime, if they are cement then they would be sharper. I'm with you, that place needs a tasteful restoration so it can be reminded of its past life, lets face it if we have an older building we are just custodians. Me I would put in fixtures that look like the ones that were put in when the building was built, it would be a living reminder of that period. 👍
Great video Adrian I think that plaster is a Tyrolean finish 👌
Everything sir... stick some new electricity in and some curtains up and a lick of paint and she'd be grand ... 😊.. jokes aside youll do a grand job of it im sure.. true grafter... stay safe 🏴
That rough finish on the wall is the plaster. My entire house has that finish and not only does it take a lot more paint but it also makes the walls dirty quicker and then retain moisture. It is one of my big regrets having bought a house with that finish on the walls. The finish is called plaster spray and the method of applying it is by a Tyrolene Machine.
Some say demolish it but please don’t ……try and save it , looking forward to seeing the progress,
All the best with the cottage Adrian it will look a million dollars (or euros hehe) when it's done 👍👍
Do we see a thatched roof on the house? It is a beautiful setting for a cottage. Love your videos! Can't wait to see more of the cottage work.
