This week, we give you a break from the major storm damage from Irelands biggest ever storm, we leave our little wooden cabin, and get back to renovation work on the stone cottage. And when I say renovation, you all know I mean demolition!
Hopefully though this is the last wall we have to uncover, and not only is it that really strange and puzzling shape, its a totally different age, in fact just totally different to the whole rest of the house.
It's been great fun uncovering the 200 year old stone walls and finding the centuries of history hidden throughout these walls, but after this one, boy are we glad (we hope) that this is over!

Your face Louise when Emily said she had some new ideas, priceless. It’s looking really good and you can get a feel of how big it’s going to be. I look forward every week to seeing your progress. Xx
She loves it 🤣
@@christinelesleybunce6800 Gave me a chuckle! Same look my husband gives me.
How you two maintain your sunny disposition and enthusiasm is beyond me. Hats off to you ladies ❤❤❤
If you edit your week, you too can produce half an hour of sunny disposition! 😂🤣🥰
Yeah it’s not all sunshine but we are the type of people to look at like as glass half full, you seriously do only get one and you got to make the most of it and being miserable is not on either of our lists 🤣 don’t get me wrong we have our moments 🫣😆🤣
No hats off from Louise! 😂
@ ♥️
@@RichH-f4b 😆
Loved hearing Louise mentioning "I don't know how to open the door " of the washing machine, im crying 😂😂😂😂
What a difference losing those walls makes! Your work ethic, Louise, is incredible. And Desi and Francis' help is priceless...even though there WAS a price to be paid. lol Great job!!!
🤣 yeah they are a great help
Yes they are, everyman needs his pay lol
. @@campervibe
Louise’s face when Emily said about changing the floor plan 😂😂😂
Lololol. It was classic.
🤣 she loves my ideas
Another great video! I can’t imagine how hard it is just to do the job in hand without having to then move the camera for all the different camera angles. Hats off to you Lou, you are a very good story teller when putting videos together. Emily as a chipmunk is always funny 🤣
She is pretty awesome
@ So are you too Emily! You make a great team 😁
Roland’s house is progressing nicely. Strange ye’re putting in so much work into a place just for Roland.
😂
🤣😱🤪😂🐀
Oh yeah we are making it so cozy for him
Great video as always 👍🏼❤
@@campervibehave you tried peanut butter. Works a treat for our loft mice?
Love seeing Dessie and Francis working at your place as I follow Sam and Bec, and they have done a heap of work for them. They are a couple of hard-working, lovely blokes. Your home looks huge now it is so open. Hope everything goes well for you. Love Pat from Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love that you tidy up all the time not like male builders. You must have amazing muscles.You are doing a brilliant job. Surely if you put a tarpaulin on the grass for the rubble, the patch will grow again when you remove the stones, etc. Grass is very tolerant, really.
0.41 Emily incoherently screaming at Louise finding Rolands great great grandparents !😂❤😂 hilarious, love you two 🌺🌺🌺
🤣🤣
Great job..the boys show up all over the place..they are so obliging..
You got loads done this week..the place looks huge..a blank canvas..
And to think you were going to go abroad for a few months..now that your here you really have hit the ground running and it's only January in the video..
Well done as always you never disappoint...❤❤
Thank you, yeah we are catching on for sure 🙂🙌
Desi and Francis legends
It's so sweet that Louise was labouring for the lads! ❤
Sunday's check in with goodness & kindness in the world. Love it. Not as much as Lou's face when Emily mentioned changing plans. Absolutely love your teamwork.
🤣🤣
I hope Roland gets the message and leaves without being trapped, I know from experience rats are intelligent little sods who are hard to evict. It's always fun to hear chipmunk Emily😄
Iam sure he has put it out there to his mates that he has found Paradise.🐀🐭 and told them all the landladies are superb, plenty of grub and such a variety, yep paradise 😁
Jeez Louise,I bet Dessie and Francis haven't had as good a labour as yourself ever. you made wheelbarrowing them big blocks look easy.
Between you and Sam they are gonna hire both of ya!
Best part of a Sunday!!!! 🎉
Amazing progress as usual. Surprised you weren't told to wear hard hats by Emily!!!! Hurry up next weeks updates. ❤❤❤
If I had seen 🤣
Brilliant grafters , yez will end up in beautiful cottage which will hard earned but well deserved . Will watch it all the way . Best of luck to ye !!
Wow, Des and Francis have really got around - over at Bec and Sams then over at yours, and then 'poof' the storm rolls in. Amazing amount of work you guys got done before that nasty storm hit, but then of course you're now having to deal with all that damage. Good luck, gals!
They do indeed 🤣
Amazing work Louise please take time for self care .Im in awe how much work you do . Sending good vibes from California
Louise, Desi and Francis are machines. That's a load ton of work done. Ladies, you are amazing. Scritches to the fur kids. My Roland shirt should arrive this week :) I can't wait.
🥳🥳 hope you like it
Loving seeing Dezie and Francis they are very busy guys saw them over at Sam's repairing the roof xx
They are such good guys
As ever, brilliant! I bet Desi and Francis are so respectful of Louise's work ethic and skills. Marvellous! N&Nx
BRILLIANT ! ❤ enjoying every moment, ANND, ngl , love the way both of you work ….. you work CLEAN!… ( none of that clambering over shite, loosing tools, nah, clear it all at the end lazy arsed way of working) You just put in the extra work to get it ready for “ tomorrow” clean and clear… and ready to go again. LOVE it! Made me smile to watch 😊😊😊xx
🙂🙂🙂
Hi gals, I’ve been looking forward to that triangle wall coming down. It will be so much more spacious when it’s down. It gets more exciting every week.❤❤
🙂🙂
Blimey, as usual I’m in awe of the work and positivity that you put in day after day. Louise you are a powerhouse, bravo ❤
Louise's face when she heard about "changes'' 😮
🤣
The fireplaces and all the old wallpaper is really interesting. I love all things history and will read every single noticeboard in museums!
That cast iron fireplace might be valuable
I was hoping they would have saved a piece of each wallpaper.. Nice conversation piece.
We have been saving so many random bits, we are hoping to have some sort of memory keep sake thing with them 🙂🙂
OMG!!! I had forgotten Emily's reaction to Roland's mummified ancestors!! About busted a gut laughing!!! You two are a hoot!!!
🤣😫🐀
Holy Demo Batman! I luv the little fireplace! This is so exciting ,and I can't believe it was all before the storm!!!!❤
2 of the hardest workers around x
Great video! Your cottage will be beautiful when you are finished! Stay safe!
Always look forward to watching your channel on a Sunday afternoon❤
😀😀
Now I know someone who understands when I say I prop up one end of the cottage the other end falls down. God bless you and heaven help you. Cee from the little haunted cottage in ireland 💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀
Hello, Desie and Francis! ❤
Sun set a beginning was an amazing shot
Amazing progress this week and it appears that you’re using Desi and Francis who did a terrific job for Sam and Rebecca - brilliant team. Well done.
Yes, they took down the other wall for us last year 🙂
@ internal space looks terrific without the wall and other junk.
Love the progress and seeing “the Lads”. 🥰🤗
Famous last words about the storm. Good thing you got the whole wall down before the storm arrived.
Can really see the length of the cottage now with it all opened up ! Well done the lads getting that chimney down ! Loved the fireplace surround ye uncovered , beautiful intricate design on it , looking forward to see it restored 😊
Great improvement getting rid of the Bermuda triangle. The building looks so good and I can't wait for construction to start.

Oh my good Louise’s guns are massive at the minute 🤣
Oh my Lord! The benefit of hindsight😂 "A little puff and it'll be all over" 😮
Looking forward to catching up with post-Eowyn action next week ❤
🫣
Wow. That space is going to be stunning. I love the way you get stuck in. Thanks for a super video
I wish these were an hour or two long, I love sitting down on a sunday with a cup of tea in hand watching you two. Such an amazing achievement and level of dedication into a project. I have learnd so much by listening to lou and how she works and love em's rants in squeek mode of course! Much love!
Double dose of Dessie and Francis between you and the Irish Homestead this week. Glad to see the long awaited wall drop went well. If only your prediction about the storm at the end of the video had been true! Can't wait to see what you get up to next.
Roland's house is great to watch .you two work well together. Better than a lot of builders I know .I am a electrician. But I was a bit worried when you was taking down the wall with live wires .please take care .Barrie xx
Cheers Barrie
Rent a stone crusher and use it for your hardcore on the floor. You’re doing a fab job! 💙
OK…. Haven’t even watched it fully yet but so so excited to see what is behind that wall!!! Had to just say that….🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮
I've been waiting all afternoon for your blog, Now your here, One eye on your blog, one eye on the Rugby, 🥰🥰
🥳🥳🥳
Hard work never comes alone, does it? Well done you guys and the lads! I think Roland need to move soon, he will be out of living quarters! Thank you for sharing. I just love this journey you are on to build your home back up!
He will indeed, be off with you Roland
Desi & Francis get everywhere 🙂Great lads that really crack on. Great progress, it's looking like the demolition is almost complete so the rebuilding can commence?
Yeah we can’t wait to start the rebuilding 🙂🙂
Always so exciting to watch how it changes,your home is going to be fantastic when it's all finished ❤️ I'm enjoying all the videos of progress ❤️you both are Amazing
The work is seemingly endless, but doing it right is the best way. Very exciting to see how you press forward. 😊
You can’t beat a bit of sunshine to perk things up 😅 What a difference taking that wall down has made - the space looks huge!
The amount of hard work you both put in is awesome! Yay the candle has popped up again, been missed!😂😂
🤣
I kept a small bag of the layered wallpapers to make a papier-mache bowl as a momento. If you've still got them in the skip, go rescue some - don't worry if they're wet or dusty.
Aw I bet that looks lovely as well
You two are still doing a amazing job keep it up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, E & L! Wow! Tons of progress this video! Incredible to see the difference taking down that wall and chimney make. It's great to see you back to working on the renovation. I'm guessing you're feeling relieved to be able to get back to it. Have a great week and stay safe. Give my love to the kids and Roland. Hugs, Lauren 😊
We are indeed and Roland says hi 🤣
Omg that floor space looks freakishly huge!
Emily's design change is actually some bespoke accommodation for Roland, isn't it 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 bloody Roland 😫
Wow,it's really coming along now. Brilliant video Louise! Can't wait a whole week🙏🏻 have a good one.
This channel is so engaging, you're a fab host, great delivery. Love how fluid your content is..... ❤

🤣🤣
You gals are SMASHING IT!!! Absolutely love following your Cottage Rebuild. The work you’ve done is incredible! Looking forward to seeing what happens next. ❤Pops & Nana
It’s slowly getting there 🙂
As soon as I saw the wall down, I thought the same. The snug should be the bedroom ❤❤❤
I love your crazy bird watcher coffee mugs! Now that weve got rid of the ghost door creepy wall, burn some sage and smudge the house, although ghosts are probably afraid of rats so you're all set 👍🤣
Wow what a difference all open up no wonder there is some floor changes in mind so many possibilities. Lou u must have some mighty guns lifting the wheel barrel that many times u r one hard worker 😊 luv the progress
She does 💪
Great improvement well done Francis and Desie they are really scaled and willing to get stuck in, no matter how difficult a task. and not forgetting Emmely and Louise without their in-depth planning. kind regards Sean
They are great people to know for sure
Since discovering your channel, I've binge watched the last 3 years of your journey. It's killing me now to wait a week until your next vlog!
Hi, save some of the paper and put it in a frame as part of the cottages history. It’s coming on well! 😊
You both are fecking amazing women! It's my 57th bday today. I always look forward to your vlof every week 😊
Congrats. Hope it was a lovely one!
Happy birthday Tammy 🎉
Massive happy birthday, hope you have had a lovely day 🎂🎂🥳🥳🙂🙂
So nice to see a further updated video which I was eagerly awaiting to see. I see that the progress surely is giving you a blank canvas to work with to design the floor space and living areas exactly as you want it to be. Nice going girls, you doing a great job. 🤗
Wow! Well done ! So open,looks fantastic!
Hi guys love the video s you both are doing a great job you are going to have a lovely home have a lovely week 😊😊😊
Oh yeah, apparently there is some storm coming... Probably nothing to worry about! Just a barn wrecker. 😬
🫣🫣
I’m in total AWE of all the work you gals are doing. 👌🤔👏 Great video but I miss the fur babies 🐶🐱.
BTW, not sure if y’all noticed but by the end of year y’all may just hit the 200k subscribers. Yeaaaaaa ! 👍👌👏👏👏👏🎉🎊💥🫶🏻🫶🏻🥂.
And y’all are very deserving of it. 👍👏💚💙💕💜❤️💛❣️
hi guys - just recently discovered your videos so i have four years to catch up on! you guys are great - thank you for sharing your adventures. i'm glad you survived the storm and look forward to watching your cottage take shape. (watching from upstate new york)
Brilliant update! The little fireplaces were so cute, but you have so much room now! Can’t wait to see what ye do with the place!
Great videos guys, whoever is choosing the music is killing it, really adds to the video!! Keep it uppp! Love from Galway
The orange wall paper 1970s late 60s.❤Well done Louise you are a work house. Well done.❤
Think I had the top layer in the early 80s. Mines was mint green with white flowers.
My goodness you have been working hard , won’t it be lovely to see it all when you have finished, I know it’s a while off but great progress.
Just a little while 🤣
Love watching you both best day of the week xx
Glad to see an extra 4-hands and arms for some work...not that you can't do it all Lou, you are The Beast when it comes to construction, it just goes faster ! Loved the Progress! Cheers from Raleigh, NC !
Amazing what you have achieved. Desi and Francis must be in high demand. Wish I could find builders here in England like them xxx keep up the good work xxxx
Need hard hats working around all the plaster and bricks and such.
You need one of those construction skips, though I've no idea how you'd get it delivered. I don't think your road is wide enough for a seven point turn to get it delivered.
Years ago, we decided to clean out our English Department in our high school. It took 3 construction skips to do the complete clear out!!!! We didn't even knock down any walls!
It was quite the production. I think several other departments took advantage to do a clear out too. Only the government saves more paperwork than we did!
You're moving forward, which is the important part. Keep up the good work!
Oh yeah so much crap, fortunately we have a plan 🙂🙂🤔
Hi Lou and Emily. I have followed you for many many years and have to say the music in your videos just gets better and better. Where are you sourcing it? My favourite site on UA-cam, thank you, all the best Gary
I will never be able to thank you enough for the motivation this video has given me thank you
Fantastic work as always. I know the feeling of running out of spare space. Just about to extend my workshop to enable the spare room to be what it’s meant to be.
What a massive space with so much potential.Girls you are on the road to an awesome forever home.Well done! Hard work with laughter great recipe.
Great job, ladies! You're doing amazing, and it's always a pleasure to watch your progress. You're definitely my favorites on UA-cam.
Ooooo it’s gonna be soo beautiful 😍 Joking aside it is a great time to have a play around with the floor plan, make yourselves a little model.
The stone work needs to be in view as much as possible though, it is stunning! Hope your week is a good one, hugs to AJ & Summer xxxx ….. Roland, do one ya little freeloading fecker 😂
I love the music you put with your videos, especially the one that starts at about 19:10
