Hi everyone from sunny Lanzarote! I hope you enjoy this video, it was the clean up that needed to be done before our first night's stay in the house, and the little update at the end of how that night went. Have a lovely day, and take a deep breath ❤
@deirdrecurran1780 yeah there are some rooms that are moldy and damp so I definitely won't be near them, the room ive been staying in has the dehumidifier going at all times and seems to be pretty dry fingers crossed! Absolutely hate mold!!!!
Hi. Just started following you. Loving it. We had an old cottage in France for many years and everything you are doing has resonated with us. Been there done that! Keep going it will be worth it. Looking forward to your next post. Jill
Hi Jill! Welcome to the madness! Oh I absolutely love France, where abouts did you have the cottage? We used to always holiday right down the south east of France in cerbère, and if I were to settle anywhere other than Ireland again it would be to France!
Hope you're having a great time in Lanzarote, Aisling! You'll be nice and refreshed for the next stage of the homestead - just so happy for you and the girls 🎉❤
Thank you so much! Having a great time so far, lots of relaxing and eating! I'm missing my girls though!! Love to you and kizzy from me and the girlies ♥️♥️
You are definitely in paradise there 💚 it must be so exciting now on the precipice of it all starting to come together! Can’t wait to see it all fall into place 💚 lots of love 😘xx
Australia is on my travel list for one day! 40 sounds way too hot for me my goodness, if you could send like 20 degrees of that my way that would be perfect lol!
@@morrigans_cottagewe have all temps in Australia. I'm in the SW corner and tonight is gonna be freezing at 5C which is a normal overnight for winter here, not spring! 😂
@@morrigans_cottage that's a night temp. We have very cold in alpine regions and very hot in desert. In between varies. Where i am we are moving into summer and can expect days mostly in the 30s and into low 40s
Great that you are having a break away in the warm sun with lots of rest, relaxation and yummy food. This will set you up for the damp and dark winter days but the good news is from Dec 21st the days will get longer and brighter. Roll on spring and the start of the renovations. Furry hugs from us to you. ❤️
Furry hugs right back to your and Mr FF! Getting lots of sun and relaxing, it's been exactly what I needed but dreading the return to cold weather and no heating! But the real work will start then ♥️♥️
Thank you so much, it's definitely a work in progress and hopefully now the real hard work will start in about a week when I'm back down! So glad you're enjoying, if there's anything you'd like to see do let me know sometimes I run out of video ideas!
The sound definitely has a lot going for it, there are a lot of mice coming in from under the floors in the lounge so I think floors will have to come up to try and sort that out, and potentially the back wall needs to come down and some of the walls need a little fixing but overall it's probably one of the best rooms
I hope you’re having a fabulous vacation. I for one can’t wait to see this home brought back to life .. I believe your channel will go much faster as people love to see this .. Ha time for n other dumpster . love nd hugs
Thank you so much! Really enjoying being a way and getting some sun and sleep! I was just thinking this morning that it's probably time for another skip 🙄😭 lots of love and hugs ♥️
The pile in the corner and bedrooms cleaned up nice. Rather than store your lawnmower in the house, you can store it in the outbuilding, and although the roof out there is leaky, if the mower is covered with a thick plastic tarp, it will stay dry. Keep well, see you next time.
Could definitely put the mower out, the only thing is I'm worried it might get stolen it's not as safe as I'd like out there yet, once I get the door fixed up I will for sure though!! Lots of love from me and the fur babies ♥️
@tracybush8115 just for now, once I'm there full time it should hopefully not be a problem but not being around id worry about it and it was expensive!
I'll take anything 😂 I've finally come to the end of my binge and am not happy, don't know what to do with myself😂, have a wonderful holiday, you deserve it, look after yourself and the back, and get back as soon as possible, I need my next fix, best wishes always❤
Oh my goodness congrats on making it through all of them! I have a video scheduled for Saturday and Wednesday so we should be on track for no delays in service 😂😂 the holiday has been lovely so far, lots of sun and food! ♥️♥️
@morrigans_cottage soak up all the joys of your holiday as you have some seriously hard work ahead, looking forward to the new.videos, take care and safe travels, bet the princess is missing all her mammy cuddles x
@morrigans_cottage 🤣, you probably are missing her more, she's to busy being fussed over and spoilt, the little traitor, my pooch was exactly the same, steal our hearts and souls they do
@MaureenMcm I would honestly be lost with out morri she's my soul dog for sure, she's been a little naughty at home not going outside etc but she's just missing mom I think! Gotta love our fur babies ♥️♥️
Thank you, having such a nice time I don't want to leave! The first few days were so nice albeit a little cold, but a great start toivi h there! Back seems to be all better now too so lots of work next week ♥️
Always nice to get things in order even though they will soon be taken apart! Oh, but how exciting! You and the fur babies are on your way to having a cozy cottage of your own! Take care,
Have a great rest on your holiday Aisling! Its a brilliant idea to get away before all the work starts. I am terrified of mice, i have a phobia, so i applaude you for staying the night xx
Thank you, I'm having a great time, a lot of relaxing in the sun and just eating eating eating 😂 putting on the winter pounds to get me through a cold winter 😂 I definitely don't love mice either and was happy not to see any - although one of the security cameras picks up a mouse every day at 10am 😂😂♥️
Hi Aisling. Glad you had a good first night in your cottage and hope your back is feeling better. You need to be in tiptop shape when the work starts! Btw I watched the latest video from Acres & Intersections the other day and Alison mentioned your channel. Did you see it? They had a swarm of bees! Best wishes
Omg I haven't watched it yet because the Internet here is SO BAD! I finally got good internet today I'm going to go catch up now I love their channel and what they're doing to their house! I'm getting plenty of R&R now to be well rested for the coming task! ♥️
Hi Ashling now that the grant is approved is there a plan to start renovating Electrical , heating, plumbing. Best of luck with project, just get started, a year passes quickly. kind regards Sean
Hi Sean! Will have a video I think on Saturday about the plans but it's looking like mid January is when everything will be done :) a little longer away than I initially wanted but probably the best time to start after Christmas
There might be one I'm not 100% there has to be think, a lot of people in my area don't have bin collection services so their waste and recycling must go somewhere...
That's something I could do but to be honest I don't know the area well at all so I'm not sure where the nearest dump would be, and I am an anxious driver and wouldn't like to go for the first time on my own so I'd rather just move the stuff outside for when I get a skip

Just some advice, I would not be sleeping in a very damp house, there looks to be mold on the doors, not good for your lungs etc.
@deirdrecurran1780 yeah there are some rooms that are moldy and damp so I definitely won't be near them, the room ive been staying in has the dehumidifier going at all times and seems to be pretty dry fingers crossed! Absolutely hate mold!!!!
@@deirdrecurran1780I agree with you a 100% 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire
I hope you have a great holiday Ashling 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire
Ashling do you intend to grow fruit and vegetables? Because the cardboard is great for no dig beds and for making compost too 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire

It will be such a cheerful home❤
It will be I can't wait to get stuck in ! ♥️
You are definitely in paradise there 💚 it must be so exciting now on the precipice of it all starting to come together! Can’t wait to see it all fall into place 💚 lots of love 😘xx
Lots of love right back from me and the girls ♥️ it's so nice to be moving on it now and getting timelines of when things will be completed ♥️
Watching from Central Qld, Australia in 40 deg C heat, enjoying watching progress on the cottage
Australia is on my travel list for one day! 40 sounds way too hot for me my goodness, if you could send like 20 degrees of that my way that would be perfect lol!
@@morrigans_cottagewe have all temps in Australia. I'm in the SW corner and tonight is gonna be freezing at 5C which is a normal overnight for winter here, not spring! 😂
@deborahlee8135 I didn't think Australia got so cold!!! It's not even that cold in Ireland yet!!
@@morrigans_cottage that's a night temp. We have very cold in alpine regions and very hot in desert. In between varies. Where i am we are moving into summer and can expect days mostly in the 30s and into low 40s
@deborahlee8135 oh God that's definitely too hot for me! I don't think Ireland ever sees the 30s, let alone the 40s!
Great that you are having a break away in the warm sun with lots of rest, relaxation and yummy food.

Have a lovely well deserved holiday 🌞
Thank you so much! Enjoying the sun and lots of good food ♥️
love what your doing, love what you have done. take care of your back. Thanks.
Thank you so much, it's definitely a work in progress and hopefully now the real hard work will start in about a week when I'm back down! So glad you're enjoying, if there's anything you'd like to see do let me know sometimes I run out of video ideas!
The lounge only needs a lick of paint, sand the floors and ozmo the boards 😮. It will look beautiful ❤
The sound definitely has a lot going for it, there are a lot of mice coming in from under the floors in the lounge so I think floors will have to come up to try and sort that out, and potentially the back wall needs to come down and some of the walls need a little fixing but overall it's probably one of the best rooms
I forgot to say it was actually the room in the house that made me want to buy the place! ♥️
Hard work for sure. You're doing a great job 😊
Thank you so much! The even harder work will hopefully be starting soon!
I hope you’re having a fabulous vacation. I for one can’t wait to see this home brought back to life .. I believe your channel will go much faster as people love to see this .. Ha time for n other dumpster . love nd hugs

@@morrigans_cottage Oh right, I forgot about the theft element - you did mention that in the past. Totally makes sense to protect your stuff.
@tracybush8115 just for now, once I'm there full time it should hopefully not be a problem but not being around id worry about it and it was expensive!
Yeah 🎉
It's great to get moving ♥️
I'll take anything 😂 I've finally come to the end of my binge and am not happy, don't know what to do with myself😂, have a wonderful holiday, you deserve it, look after yourself and the back, and get back as soon as possible, I need my next fix, best wishes always❤

Happy holidays 🎉 Glad your first couple of nights in the cottage went well. Hope your back is rested and ready to rock n roll on your return x

I am exhausted just watching you!
I'm tired too 😂😂
Your Mahonia is looking vibrant!
It really has come up beautiful, smells amazing and the bees and bugs absolutely love it 💓

Hi Aisling,have you got a recycling plant near by?
There might be one I'm not 100% there has to be think, a lot of people in my area don't have bin collection services so their waste and recycling must go somewhere...
Couldn’t you breakdown the boxes and take them with you to dump rather than shuffling clutter from one place to another.
That's something I could do but to be honest I don't know the area well at all so I'm not sure where the nearest dump would be, and I am an anxious driver and wouldn't like to go for the first time on my own so I'd rather just move the stuff outside for when I get a skip
