Things don't go quite to plan...again!

- Hi, we are Bec, Sam, Isabella & Euan. After selling our house in the UK & travelling Europe in a motorhome for 10 months, we have bought a derelict stone cottage in Ireland. We are keen to try and live an off grid life, free from debt whilst bringing the farm back to its former glory. We are doing this on a very tight budget and plan on doing the work ourselves.
Please follow along on our journey...we need all the support we can get!
This week, the big dig starts and things don't go as planned!

Sam and Bec. It was a pleasure to have been able to help you out on Thursday. Like I said then, you're videos always have a real calmness to them and that was felt in abundance when i was there. The brews were great and were a plenty. I know that we will see each other again and in the meantime keep up the good work. Adam. Adam Murray of Admur Contracts Ltd, Monaghan.
@thefarmerinme3302 - Bless your heart, folks like you restore our faith in humanity!
Brilliant work! Amazing contribution from Adam. Gorgeous kitten.
Welcome to Ireland. Ten years on, I am still astounded by the kindness I have experienced here.
You’ve just experienced the heart of Irish Community Spirit in Adam. Proud of my countrymen 😊 you are lovely people too and your wee animal sequence at the end shows that ❤
Adam is a gem. To be honest that is how people in this country collaborated and helped each other for hundreds of years. Its a very normal thing to do in Ireland, to help your neighbour.
We'll done Adam for helping out Sam and Rebecca out they really needed it great update can't wait to see the next one
Sam was speechless, trying to find the words to thank Adam! What a huge job cleared in no time. Well done Adam.
Good people attract good things ❤ Sam and Becs you are such good, kind people, you deserve only the very best. I think your foster kitten has stolen all your hearts. Love seeing gentle Nell watching over the kitten, great to see Toby having his tea right at the end ❤ What a great guy Adam is !!!
Thank you so much!! He is a star!
Thanks Adam for lending a helping hand to such a hard working family.
This man Adam, definitely a mover and shaker! Good on him for lending a hand and a digger to Project Homestead!
Adam is characteristic of the Irish as a whole. Big hearts, unafraid of hard work, and ready to lend a hand. Yup!
Thank you, Adam!!!! You're the Best!
Thank you Adam, for your kindness ❤
Whilst you were drilling and breaking up the floor I was getting exhausted thinking about all that borrowing of the rubble to be done! What an absolutely fantastic gift to get Adam's digger, barrow and sheer goodwill. Wonderful help - and I hope he gets pay back for his generosity. Great progress though...
We are so grateful to him. ♥️
Thank you to Adam! A true Irish Blessing! The amount of work and time he has saved you is vast.
The cottage is coming along beautifully. What a cozy, comfortable home it is becoming. Blessings to all .
They say Angels walk amongst us and Adam is one of those 👼. How kind. Good vibes to you all for all the amazing hard work you all put in. I think thete may be a permanent addition to the furry family. 😅
I love how your son is working hard. I wish all dads could teach their children along side of them. It does my heart good. Thank you all for sharing a part of your lives with us
Big shout out to Adam. Maybe on the concrete slab floor, leave a memory for Adam's generosity. Open space to level across all the rooms. Fortunately good weathet to move all that earth and stone. Also have some good building stones.
Delighted to see you getting a little help! Well deserved !!! Adam is a legend and Sam you never stop! Humble family 👏
Makes a lump in one's throat.....guys like Adam😊
Always enjoy the continuing progress from Ireland. Here in San Jose, California, it's currently 12:40 a.m. and still over 70 F (21C) so it's a bit comforting to see clouds and folks in jackets. The kitten is adorable and seems to enjoy the view from Euan's shoulder. All your animals are wonderful and what a nice, generous friend you have in Adam.
It is not a typical summer, here. So we are still hopeful we will get some hot days yet, before the autumn arrives. 🎉
What a very nice gesture Adam!
You saved Sam's back!! Good job both. I like it when people helping each other.
One day Sam will help you Adam!
❤ You deserve a little help from your friends❤ Isn't it lovely to know there are still good,kind people out there😊
Quality friends are worth more than their weight in gold and are one of the greatest blessings in life.
What goes round comes round. Sam and Bec you both show compassion, are hard working, loving, caring, ethical couple. You connect with your subscribers and Adam obviously felt that people do not give up their time on a whim.
Every week there has been so much completed from when you started the renovation.
I sit here in my nice warm home and am so proud of both you.
Love from New Zealand
Thanks so much
Sam you are a very humble person and a big shout out to Adam for helping Sam and Bec with his time and machinery, you are a very lovely person to help them and most appreciated. Bec Toby looks so happy and I love your little foster kitten, I am thinking you will land up keeping it though. Have a lovely day Bec, Sam, family and fur friends.
Thanks we are so grateful to Adam. Yep kitten may end up a failed foster! 🤣
Great progress. Nearly all demolition done now. Time to start building up.
Adam was amazing
Best of luck
Looking forward to the next update already
Thanks 👍
Adam has given you a great boost. Saved you a lot of time and hard yakka. Best wishes to him and you.
It restores my belief "That Good things come to good people" Thak you Adam.
Good people exist...like Adam.
Wow, how kind of Adam! Thank goodness for good people! That is great progress for you all and that kitten is too darn cute😂❤.
Thank you! 😊
Hats off to Adam, what a kind and generous spirit, it certainly restores your faith in people, then again from my experience, Irish people are kind and giving. PS. the progress is amazing Sam, enjoy your brew 🫖
Isn't it wonderful when machines save your back? You are building a very sound and safe home, Sam. Solid concrete floor is very important. Love the new foster kitty, you all have such gentle souls. Visiting Ireland and Scotland are on my life's bucket list.
The generosity of strangers ❤ it makes my heart melt.
Adam has saved you absolute days work just by giving one of his, Adam you are an absolute gentleman and star 🌟
It’s a good job the wall was knocked by the digger as it came down way too easily! Much better that you can build it back where you want it, stronger and therefore safer and it’s not like you don’t have the stone available to face it with!
Like many I’m think Tango the kitten may become a permanent fixture!! 😜🐱
🤣🤣 Tango!
@@theirishhomestead 🐱 great name for an orange kitty don’t you think 😜
Soo cute you won’t ever want to part with any of the kittens !
What a difference a day makes.. literally! Great job
Also. I do predict a foster fail with that cute kitten!
Yep, foster fail, but I prefer foster win! 😉🤣
Great job, that kitty is going to be hard to let go, Toby looks very content.👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
He looks in such amazing shape right now. Thanks
When people like that help other people out you can only wish good luck and happiness for them. There is a lot of tidy people still about
Grand to watch a good solid foundation being built right before our eyes...😍
Decent people attract Decent people! Love the little kitty ❤
Wow, week on week, you guys never fail to amaze me.
And Adam, what a super kind thing you have done, for Sam And Bex.
Shame about the feature wall, but you need to be safe.
The little foster kitten is super cute.
Keep on doing your stuff,
It's Fab.
Lotsaluv from Michelle xx
Good to see nice things happen, what a guy and an amazing job , you’ll probably keep the kitten 🤔
He really is a great person. Thank you.
Good morning Bec’s and lovely family 😍 What a star 🌟 Adam was 👍🏻 Nice people like yourselves deserve help 😊 if I lived close by I’d help you in a heart beat. I know this channel is about building your forever home guys but it’s so cute how you’re looking after Toby the star of the show lol 😂 and all of your animals 🤩 Have a great week and take care love Stevie as always xx
😊 thank you Stevie. We know you'd be here to help if you could.
AwwwwBlessings to Adam and his family the world needs more folk like him it must of saved you a tremendous amount of time lovely to see Toby and the new kitten sending luv to you all the oldies 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Good decision to take down the wall, as it wasn't structurally sound. Big job clearing out all that ruble and so nice of Adam to lend a helping hand 🥰
amazing progress. What a great guy
Welcome to the homestead, little kitty - you're gonna love it there with that incredible family! Good tidings to that fellow who came up to help with the digging, such a nice man. Take care, folks, much love from across the big pond.
Adam is a true 💎 Gem
Taking down that unstable wall will make pouring the concreet slab so much easier and faster. All the rubble you dug out could be perhaps be used to make some kind of windbreak in the garden to help with those strong prevailing winds you get.
Class job, guys. Now you are on the straight road! Men like Adam are God's gift to the universe.🎉🎉🎉🎉
some people just have a heart of gold & help when you mostly need it; give yourself breaks between the big projects, so you don't overwork yourselves; am sure Adam appreciated the you putting him out on the video & he will benefit from extra work too
the foster kitten is gorgeous! hope you're able to rehome it soon
great video, thanx for sharing
Adam, made light work of the floors, what a (star),
Made your life's, a little easier
And so kind, they're still out there, nice people, and Adam is definitely one of them,
Good decision, about the wall,
Safety always, start a new better wall.
Thanks, Adam, for your kindness!!! May it all come back to you many times over!!!
Bec, Do I see Sam taken to the kitten or should I say he likes the kitten alot and it looks like you could be keeping the kitten. Well done and thank you Adam for helping Bec and Sam out.
Very good chance of that! 🤣
Sam, you are the hardest worker on UA-cam!!!!!!
There is some great people out there unreal Adam 👏
Amazing how quickly machines can help get the job done good on Adam for helping you guys
You have a new member of the family 😅 cute kitten, reminds me of our “Smiff” Just goes to show that there is still some kindness in the world. Great job Adam 👍👍👍
Smiff...I love that name! ♥️
Adam sure made that job look easy !!! He is an expert on that little digger,fun to watch ! Well done Adam !!
Brilliant from the start Sam & Becs. Loved the Cockerel 🐔Crowing. Cute kitty stealing all your hearts , & Toby enjoying his lunch. What a massive progress with the help of a very kind person Adam . 👍 ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Adam! And all that stone from the wall that fell can go towards the addition on the house along with all the other stones! 🙌🏻😂💚 Looks amazing guys, and I agree with Sam, do the floor properly and you’ll have a lovely sturdy and comfortable warm floor. 😊
That's so sound of Adam to pop out and help you out with that! So much progress being made!
You imprinted yourself on that kitten all of you ,, pets never forget the first contact nor should we as humans , good vid as usual,,,cheers John
Yes will be hard to part with this one....so we probably won't! 😉
This is going to be an exceptional HOME: YOUR PERFECT INVESTMENT!❤❤❤❤❤
I just wonder have these little kittens found their forever home😂
It warms one’s heart to hear of good people doing deeds oof kindness. I’m sure it would take a week of manual labour to dig out the floors.
Fantastic progress on the house, and as for the kitty so cute but I think it's going to be a foster fail lol, love and blessings from Scotland xx
Quite possibly! 😁
Well done Adam for helping out. That's what people do in Ireland. Good job guys. Good luck with the rest of your building.
Well done, Adam. Not many like you.
I doubt this fostered kitten will ever leave the premises.
🤣😉

Aussie expat following from Phnom Penh Cambodia. Loving following your journey
👋
Lovely, people in the community who want to help. There is so much progress in one day❤ A farm isn't a farm without kittens & cats.
My husband and I look forward to seeing you each week..such a sweet family, love the latest kitty..and good on you Adam❤👏
Nice bit of work
You deserve all the help sam
As you would return the favour good on you 👍
Folk in Ireland have hearts of gold. Always willing to help.
You can always make a stone wall inside yourselves
He said that was the plan.
Wow it’s looking so good. Gotta say that I wouldn’t be able to let the kitten go because I love cats so much. 😊 love that you are fostering .
Just BEAUTIFUL Kitten... That will be so tough to say Goodbye! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So happy that Adam came out to help ye both Sam and Becky. The new little kitten is so cute the home is becoming a lovely place
Good morning to all there at the Homestead. Thank you for a new video. 😊
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching & supporting. ♥️
Well done Adam, you're a good man for helping out.
Not having that wall there probably will make it 100 times simpler doing the floor now, so every cloud and all that 😁
Some top work this week folks, stay safe and keep having as much fun as you can 👍
Looking better and better all the time. Can’t wait to see a proper roof on and a good solid floor. The little kitten is so sweet and I’m sure will be the start of a whole host of lucky animals. Also lovely that Adam gave his time to help you dig out the floor that’s the best thing about being in a community that help each other and I’m sure you’ll do the same thing when you can. ❤ have a wonderful week 😊
Thank you. You too.
It's always great to see good karma being dealt out.
This old house is certainly getting the attentions she deserves.
What a gorgeous little foster kitten. I hope that appearing on your channel you are able to find a loving home quickly
Have a great week ahead xx
I suspect we may become the loving home! 🤣
@@theirishhomestead 🤣well, he looks comfy and settled already. Is cat math like chicken math? lol xx
Well done Adam great job , Sam and Becs have worked so hard every hour God sends on this house good people deserve good things to happen to them
Well done Adam for helping Sam and Becs. Sam, in time you no doubt will find the opportunity to help others by giving your time and skills. What goes around, comes around.loved seeing all the animals. That foster kitten won’t be wanting to leave you all😍
Or us leave the kitten! 😉
God bless Adam,he's so kind coming to help the family 😊 take care and God bless❤😊❤😊
Adam, thankyou ✅✅✅ Couldn’t happen to a nicer family 😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
Well done on 30K, that was fast! Adam is a superstar, that was really kind of him.
Adam is definitely one of the good guys, may his kindness be repaid tenfold!
Toby is looking so well now, happily settled in with his new (possibly first?) forever family, enjoying the company of Nell and the cats. The new kitten reminds me of my first foster kitten - "fostered" her for seventeen years... ☺️💖🐈⬛💖☺️
Love that. We may also be a "failed foster" on this one.
Good lad Adam! What a lovely thing to do in helping out the family. You are a hero!
Congrats on 30k subs!!
Country folk know what it's like to struggle doing things by yourself and the hard way. Good on Adam for helping out.
I moved to a small country town in Gippsland Vic Australia and the people are amazing.
Thank you! ♥️
Great job. What a wonderful Man to come help you with such a big job !!y’all have made really great progress ! Seems your smiling brighter since the lovely wife got back home ❤️🙏👩🏻🦳
What an amazing thing to do, well done Adam!! It's so exciting to see it coming on now, imagine how it's going to look when the floor is done! The foster kitten is just gorgeous too Have a great week guys 😊
Thanks you too. ♥️
Fantastic to find people like Adam, he's helped you on a difficult part of the work in no time. Well done that man.
Couldn't agree more
Well done to adam.to give his time and machinery to help dig out the foundations.always good when a extra pair of hands helps out.but lets not take it away from you as a family who are pushing yourselves into the rebuild at such a pace.great to watch it comming togeather .and being a softy.me that is .love how all your affection shines through.keep it up im sure the end result will be amazing.love to you all.Xxx❤❤

Adam great job thank you for helping Sam and Rebecca.👍👍
It's nice to see there are good, decent and helpful people like Adam still around ...although I believe they are a rare breed nowadays. Good on ya Adam, you're a gentleman and a credit to those who raised you.
Well said
Sam and Becky what progress thanks to Adam for giving you a day's work on your floors. It has been really hard graft getting to this point on your own .Things like that make Irish people proud to see people coming to our aid .Well done Adam you have really really helped a wonderful family. Great to see Toby having his food and the animals out and about with him.I know the Kitten will not be leaving anytime soon 😍😍😍 Take care and look after yourselves God bless you all xxxx
I suspect not either Colette! 🤣😉
Your beautiful son is much cuter than the kitten 😊❤
A stunning day for you all thanks mainly to THE MAN, Sam, and his skills, machinery and time but also to the family for all that they have helped with both prior but also on the day. A huge step forward for the project. Dan
Good luck giving that foster kitten back. Haha! 😂😂
I know!!
Adam your one sound Irish man. Thanks for giving them a hand out. Love you guys 😁👍🏻❤️
