This guy has a very calming honest nature
I've been watching his progress for a couple of years and he's better than any therapist - soothing, uplifting, motivational and yes, with such a calm and honest nature (his dog Moss, is also a brilliant therapist!).
Candy Clews so true 👍☺️
He would make a terrific tv presenter or journalist for these kind of programma's!
Mirko di Wallenberg YES YES YES!!!
Yes I agree 😁🌾
I am so happy that you are finally fixing up your cottage. I visited Ireland couple of times and fell in love with the stone cottages. I am Brazilian and I am 85 years old, I came to United States in 1960....I lived in California and in 2007 I moved to Maine to be near my daughter. We live surrounded by a forest without neighbors. I saw many of your videos. I am very proud of you to be living just the way you want. I will be waiting for your videos. In Brazil I lived on a farm completely off grid. Stay happy and healthy.....
I'm so impressed by you because I am 65 and retired. I look forward to another twenty or more years enjoying my retirement.
I'm coming to live u just packing lol
@@magickitchen54 I am sure you will...I am 85 I have a stent in my heart and also a Pacemaker and I am diabetic. I am still going. Now I live one day at the time. Stay happy and healthy.
It was a pleasure to read your comment. Stay healthy and happy. Cheers!
@Lisa Swetz I left California for Portugal, ad am so happy I did. I am dreaming about buying a cottage here, but I am not sure I am up to doing the refurbishng on my own.
I can't help feeling a deep admiration for this guy. His outlook of life, strength, positive attitude, calmness and love for nature. We need more people like this on this planet. And Mossy....is beyond adorable.
Elkeen Eng agreed. He is sharing on TH-cam because it is a project that others have an interest in; not to become a star like so many others.
I have nothing but admiration for this Man. He knows so much about Ireland after only a few years. He could teach us and he has a lovely demeanour and presence. Good luck to him in all he tries to do.👏
Being somewhat of an expert in cottage renovation at this point 😃 here in Tipperary I'd be happy to donate time advice and materials as I have said before. Failing you taking me up on my offer heres a few points...
- Hydrolic lime is avaliable from a crowd in Carlow. Its imported from France. The benefit is its breathable so releases the rising damp as there will be no equvilant to a modern D.P.C. unless they used slate under the base stones ... that'd be rare. A true hydrolic mix is left to stand for as long as possible, at least 6 months, better is 2 yrs.
- Its highly unlikely the flag stones would have been removed, a little more exploration may suprise you 😃
- When you put in chimney liners be sure to put the cement/lime/sand mix in dry and well packed. Make sure the liners are placed with socket upwards, this way any tar bleed goes into the stove, not the walls.
- A french drain around the cottage with a soak pit at the lower end is always advisable, filled with 4" stones then a semi- permiable membrane 3-4" down and topped up with 2" stone for a finish. The soak pit can also be used for grey water from sinks as long as its large enough, failing that it can be channeled into the septic tank with a good perculation area, preferably a reed bed system.

Happy renovations, very exciting!
Love too you both with hugs 🌬💖
Good man yourself
@@scoyle1750 As a guy who notices things you've not read his message right or you've made a spelling mistake.
Greetings from Maine USA. After a almost 7 hours surgery two months ago I am now alive and feeling better each day. I cant wait to see the restoration pf the cottage. I am following at this moment a couple from London restoring a cottage in Portugal. Stay Happy and Healthy.
I signed the contract on my little off grid cottage in the West of Ireland today! Absolutely delighted! It's going to take me a couple of years to pay off, but I can't wait to return home to Ireland from Australia. I really have something to work towards now! Thank you for your videos. They keep me motivated to get home.
I could not find in Mossy bottom videos how much he paid for cottage and land . Yours is more recent, would you mind sharing how much it was and how big is the land to get an idea?. Cheers
You have a great voice for historical documentaries. Cheers from the US.
it feels like we're going back in time finding all those old artifacts
In all honesty I would be happy living in the caravan . I've been on the transplant list for over 2 years waiting for a double lung transplant and the thoughts of living somewhere like this in beautiful Ireland or the beautiful UK fills me with joy. Maybe one day I will get the chance of a caravan a dog and some ducks. Thank you for sharing all of this
Hope you're doing well now!!
Yes caravans are comparatively cheap and could be roofed over to keep the weather off the van . Evaporation from rain drying by wind on an old stone building makes it work like a fridge that is why render (smooth and painted ) is good for this but render can exacerbate rising damp problems on the inside.,I suppose the best solution is to have two caravans one for sleeping and one to cook and relax in let the air circulate in the sleeping one during the day .you make some good points.
Wow, this was a real story about the old cottage.
You're very ambitious and hard working, not to mention patient to come on to a property and live so simply, always working toward making it a better, more productive space. The work you'll have to do on the cottage would be very daunting to most people! But when it's completed it will be your own. A nice, homey place for you to rest at the end of a hard working day. I'm sure you will do it!
The medal you discovered in the wall is a St. Joseph medal and you should keep it in your house as a blessing. St. Joseph has watched over the cottage for many years and will continue to do so for you too!
A cottage is better than a modern day house design! Wooden houses with dry tall grass as roof is a dream for me!
Just luvd. watching this brought bk alot of old memories. He is so respectful of who lived there. Glad to see it is the right guy who got this luv treasure of a home. I wish him many many years of happiness
Mossy should become the president of the world, seriously.
It's going to be wonderful when you're done. Your own little slice of history.
Billie H. W .
You are one determined person to go through all this. Just watching the video overwhelms me.
Thank you for showing us the cottage. Amazing that the woman spent her whole life there without what we would call necessities today.
What a solid, sound, inspirational bloke.
I have been following you for some time now. I love the way you speak and the time you are taking with everything you find.
The cottage will take you a while, but it will be a wonderful achievement once completed. I wish you all the best in your adventure. I love Moss.
That stonework IS the highest quality, it's still standing there after a century, isn't it? :))
I agree. Don't know what you'd have to pay today for something like that!
@Blue&GreenWell It surely has been a bit neglected...but someone will put those stones straight😁💪
The Strange chair is called a corner chair. Used where space was at a premium and with the walls behind you you were away from breezes caused by poor insulation. Were not necessarily for comfort. Hope this helps . A real antique.....restore and use as a conversation piece. Take care.
I have nothing but admiration for you ideas and plans,Welcome to Ireland
What a wonderful realistic outlook on life. Best wishes for strength, guidance, and protection. Follow your labor of LOVE.
Fantastic 👌 I really look forward to your videos as a guy from England who renovated a cottage just south of sligo pretty much in the same state as yours 3 years ago witch is now a beautiful home. I wish you all the very best of luck and will watch the transformation with joy.
May You enjoy the restoration project in good health and happiness! ☘
The term "Daylight robbery" originated in Ireland. It began when English landlords introduced a tax on the size of windows to Irish tenants hence the small windows
I have so much admiration for you!
I live in northern Australia. However, my father's family came from Ireland. He was very tall, dark and handsome....and a fervent Catholic. As I am. Thank you...Its incredible to see a cottage that perhaps my ancestors lived in.
Snowy Skylar - you brought out a thought in me.... the Irish adopted a fervent and radical Catholicism that fit Ireland well. The Catholic idea that life has a suffering quality fit Ireland. Here in the States, the prosperity gospel is popular. I’m the only catholic left in family.)
@@richardbenitez7803 'Only one left..' ? My sincere condolences go out 2U on your 'hibernation'. During your deep slumber, the whole lucerferian Vatican is being exposed as well it should be. Those praiseful hymns the poop leads his people to sing are praising satan...in latin. Wake Up!
Chk symbolism out on the robes, sashes, the gold adornments over alter! There's TUNNELS under the Vatican. Church controls the Smithsonian hence...we'll NEVER SEE that TRUTH (donated discoveries they keep hidden..giant bones etc) AGAIN. Plz wake up to the fact WE'VE ALL BEEN DECEIVED SINCE BIRTH.
Prayers & Love to all from Kansas USA💪🇺🇸😁👍❤
@Richard, I had strayed for a long while from the Church. I stupidly let life get in the way, so to refresh myself, I'm in RCIA classes. I've forgotten so much, but it's coming back. It feels so good to be home again. My family were all protestants. My first time in a Catholic Church was life altering. For the first time, I felt that I was at home. It hurts to read what @JLynn Conner wrote.
@@jennyconner6047 Please stop this silliness. We are just trying to follow this young (older than me though haha) man's journey to restore this old building to it's former glory. If, however, you decide to cintinue, I recommend you read the works of the Early Church Fathers and the letters of the Apostles. It might make you think. Also check out Church Militant, Ascension Presents and Catholic Answers.
@@jennyconner6047 I will forgive you your ignorance, especially if you are not familiar with Latin or our 2,000 year Christian history, here in Europe. Lucifer is a Latin word derived from the roots lux (light) and ferre (to carry). It means “light bearer” or “light bringer,” and it was not originally used in connection with the devil. For example, anybody carrying a torch at night was a lucifer (light bringer).
It was also used as a name for the Morning Star (i.e., the planet Venus), because this is the brightest object in the sky other than the sun and the moon. As a result, Venus is the first star seen in the evening (the Evening Star) and the last star seen in the morning (the Morning Star). Because sight of it in the morning heralds the light of day, it was referred to by Latin speakers as the “light bringer” or lucifer and it is this which is being sung.
How things have changed it was a tough life back then, I admire your attitude keep up the good work 👍
You're doing amazingly & saving some of Ireland's best bits 🥰 Congratulations 🎉
Hi there,my wife and I are about to embark on a similar project in County letrim,we have purchased an almost identical cottage,with a few outhouses and 1 acre,we really enjoy your video's and find them very informative,As a side note,the falcon pipe you found probably dates back to around ww1,You can screw the bowl off,it's made of briar wood,which is practically fireproof and the little dimples in the bowl are part of the design,as opposed to bite marks,The metal tubing was designed to cool the smoke,i know this as I smoke a pipe and only use falcons lol.
My dad had Falcon pipes!
You are brilliant. I am also from your part of England and have a house in the same county as you in rural Ireland where my parents were from. You are such an inspiration. You`ve made me want to follow my dream and spend time there and no excuses, as soon as this pandemic allows. You have such respect for nature and the old people from the past. Please continue to inspire us. You are a gift.
Times like this when we disappear into a misty-eyed romanticised version of old Ireland . These were bloody tough places to exist !
I agree. They were cold damp and not romantic at all. Going to the bathroom in the winter boy it was freezing. Oh and the bloody mice... Its now in ruins but history isn't always good to go back too.
Says a lot about the backbone of the Irish. Apart from politicians, bankers and lawyers!
bogger 51 That’s for sure !
It is beautiful yes the irish are a hardy bunch love from donegal angel v
I so agree, TB and child morality were the consequences of these small homes. Still i love what he is doing.
You need to start a Go Fund Me page for this project. Good luck to you.
Or....do more TH-cam videos!
George Petrin Yes, I was saying to my husband I would like to give something to help... he so deserves it
go fund me takes quite a share of the money so maybe use another service

Homesteading takes years and years, so don't try to rush!
The old cobbled chair would make a nice plant stand perhaps! Its going to be great seeing this cottage come back to life🤗🌞😇
Yes, it looks more like a nice plant stand than a chair.
That chair looks like a shooting chair to me. You are supposed to sit through it, sort of in reverse, then you can balance your elbows on what looks like the back, as a rest. Channel your inner Christine Keeler... We used to have one in a pub I worked in and it annoyed the hell out of people trying to use it as a regular chair. It was a bit ridiculous to have it in there tbf
@@Tonyjameswho Ohhh thank you for that, living, learning😁👍🏼...I shall have to rewatch the video to remind myself. (It's at about 10 mins 44 seconds for anyone interested).
Cost lot money there to do anything i remember my mother got a bloke to put few blocks on chimley in eighties and he charged her few hundred pounds rip of ireland
I love the old cottage,the amazing finds and the lovely story of the old lady who owned it before. It all adds to the history and character of the property. Keep up the good work 🏠😊 Suzanne x
Wish the best in the restoration project its a lovely cottage.
I'd recommend a cat for your rat problem, we had similar problems with mice in our old farm house when we moved in. Within a month they'd either been killed or left the area
The exterior walls were plastered to prevent rodents from entering the wall. He should point the walls with concrete to prevent the rodents from entering inside and out.
Or a Jack Russell
@@ursamajor7468 I live in a former cottage and rodents are a real problem because they can squeeze in to very small crevices between the stone and hollow out areas where they can live undisturbed out of sight. Cats are a solution ! Dampness can be influenced by the prevailing wind, due to rain being pelted against one wall in particular, and not another more sheltered. Rising dampness is unavoidable in these circumstances, and outside drainage pipes reduce it somewhat. I would point the stones with a strong concrete mix to prevent rodents living rent free, but sometimes, they can still burrow up underneath the wall ! Good luck with your work !
Cats are wonderful for mice and other small pest. But rats are to big for them to tackle, as a rule. Unless the cats find them as babies. That is why the small terriers were bred and loved. To get the rats that the cats could not handle. I have many horse and farm friends and family that use the rat terriers and jack Russell type terriers to keep the barns and properties rat free. Those fearless little rascals hunt non stop and will go anywhere a rat goes. Even if they have to dig and tear up stuff to get there. Lol
@@BelindaTN If you get the right cat, rats are no trouble at all. I've known cats that took adult rats as well as rabbits. Best get one from farm stock that has been trained from little by it's mum.
It's the journey that makes it
I don't know if it's just me, but I love and prefer rustic old age houses to modern all day long. They are absolutely beautiful. You can see the time and effort that's gone into it and really appreciate it 😍
Not enough people take the time to find and appreciation what others think lost. You appear to have the positive mindset required to take on the task at hand so i wish you all the best and look forward to your updates! It has the bones of something beautiful.
So the cottage does exist! Only kidding, I never doubted you. It's bigger and more grand than I expected. Field stone! I love it!
I admire your ambition. I am in love with Moss. Moss obviously loves his human. The two of you will create a dream home.
I like this sincere, honest & thoughtful young man. I really love Ireland a lot, the irish ppl are lovely & kind
I've taken an interest in this project lately. I'm Irish and from Galway. He has a very positive outlook and he will succeed. Contrary to what some people might think, English people are very popular in Ireland. They're very "up-front" and helpful and are great neighbours. There are thousands of English people retired in the southern coastal counties of Ireland since the 1960s and before.
I wish this hardworking, visionary young man the very best of luck.
I live in a tiny dark Cornish cottage. When my husband was alive we had a couple of sunlight tunnels put in the roof to bring natural light in over the stairs and into the bedroom. The living room is still quite dark but we built an enclosed stone porch at the front so that the living room door can be left open and this gives much more light. The original door is still there with the same sort of key as your door. Good luck with the restoration. I hope it goes well.
Hi another great video documentary, just as a point of interest the concreat under the roof, served 3 porpuses
A to leave under the wall-plate
B to provide strength to a crumbling wall structure beneath the roof
C to provide solid ancer points for the roof
This band of concreat was called a (band-corse)
As my parents were local builders I helped in many thatch removals 1960--1980
Keep up the good work
kind regards Sean from the Burren west of Ireland
You had me at "hello."
Hi...im in my 50s now but back in the late 1960s my mom and I visited relatives in Co. Roscommon. They were older like my Nana. They lived on farms..no bathroom or tub! We used pits and pots. It was a great adventure for 6 year old me but my mom asked for a bathroom to be built before the next visit! Uncle Eddy did build a bathroom and additional bedroom too. Did I mention they had no heating except for the fireplaces!?! My mom even tried her hand at cooking a roast over the fireplace one
Sunday. They were used to living this rough way and really were quite comfortable. You will be quite happy once you have settled in and figured out what works best for you. Maybe a bit if technology and definitely a lot of the "old ways" of doung things. Thank you for letting us all follow your journey.
Such honest eyes he has.
This is going to be a wonderful family home and productive small holding. Stay warm! Love from Utah xx
I smiled when the camera suddenly showed Moss inside that little pantry. So cute. Wishing you all the best, strength for the winter and tons of adventures and good moments in that awesome place.
Fix that little chair up and use it to sit a plant pot on! What a charming feature of old history
Really enjoyed this video! You are very calming ☺️ We are looking at old cottages that have been renovated at the moment...I’d love to live in a little cottage with loads of character!
A
Love your chuckle mate!
Wow it's already been 3 years!
I love cottages, and cottage pies :)
What an incredible undertaking. The reverence for the cottage and it's history can be heard in your voice and you are without doubt the right person to breath new life into it, whilst respecting it's past. Good luck and God speed.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that the little alcove is not for children. People used to sleep half sitting up. I recommend visiting “henigan’s heritage center” in killasser, near swinford,mayo. Tom Henigan explains cottage life like no one else! It’s a must for anyone visiting Ireland or living there. Love what you are doing!
Indeed, not going to lie - I watch your videos not only because I find your project beautiful an interesting and wholesome, but also because of you! Listening to you talk is calming and bring me down to earth.
This house could be amazing! Will be fun to watch as time goes on!
So excited to finally see the cottage!
YES, MAINE IS ANOTHER WORLD....MY FAVORITE TIME HERE IS AUTUMN. ..RIGHT NOW I AM ENJOYING IT VERY MUCH.
What a beautiful home! I love it! You could just smell the history oozing from the walls! What a treasure you found...shadow box them when you complete your home 💖💖
Great footage. I'm just smashed by your courage in embarking on this restoration project with literally no funds to spare, I'd probably never dared to do that sort of thing by myself. And the old lady's story is fascinating in many ways, just to think that people may live few hundreds kms apart and be literally centuries apart in terms of life they live..... GOOD LUCK IN YOUR GOOD WORK!
While checking whether or not there was a new video, I saw your new banner ... Love it! ... Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you for the tour. I always look forward to your videos.
That "most uncomfortable chair" is likely not meant for bottoms but little feet allowing 'littles' to help in the kitchen learning the domestic arts front and centre. the rounded top plate gives me the impression. It is a solidly safe little thing I think!
Thank you so much for posting these videos 🤗🤗🤗
The dear old lady would, I’m sure , be thrilled that a nice young man and adorable dog will be treating her home with love. I will be watching with anticipation. All the best
I really LOVE your channel, you're such an honest and authentic guy and you're so right with everything you're saying.
Reminds me so much of when I too bought a derelict cottage with 1 acre land...I moved into the cottage straight away even though there was no plumbing, no insulation whatsoever, broken window panes, bare rooms and walls with layers of peeling paint! I spent the first winter going to bed wearing hats and scarves..will NEVER forget the cold...but I loved it..it was all mine and 19 years later, its now finally restored and I was able to keep a number of the old original features thankfully...I love every inch of the place...it will take lots of time:)
It looks likes it’s gonna be beautiful, you are young you will do it. Take your time do it right. Keep filming and sharing.
So happy to finally see this video. I've been looking forward to it. I think the small windows make for a cozy, secure feeling. I mentioned previously in another comment that I am building a homestead here in America with an Irish cottage style house. I would so love to be where you are, but this is as close as I can get for now. I chose a red door. The outside of my house is finished. My main focusis also on my gardens, greenhouse, animals, fruit trees etc... the inside can come later.
I would LOVE to see a tour of the other buildings on your place. And definitely keep us updated as you finish the cottage, step by step.
The lack of, and the small size of the windows are best explained by the fact that in the 17th or 18th century there was a window tax in Ireland, but like you say, this helps to give the house a cosy feel.
Yes there was a huge window tax taxed for each psin of glass by the bastards in uk .love from old donegal🍀🍀🍀
@@vanessagannon7488
Yes, quiet right Vanessa, when the bastards in London weren't actually starving our ancestors to death they were taxing them into shebeens and semi starvation.
The likes of them will now be busy counting their ill-gotten gains in hell.
@@hughneek12 I am pretty sure that there was a window tax in the UK also.
@@solatiumz
I cannot confirm this, but I would not be surprised. The greed of the British ruling classes had no end.
Mossy, you have done SooOOOOooo much work, it is quite AMAZING really! One young, strong man, accomplishing as much as you have...Oh sorry, along with Moss, of course! What would a day of hard work be without the 'most LOVING distractions' of Moss, to alleviate any stresses accrued! WELL DONE MOSS! Well Done! I'd keep your 'treasures' in your rustic little home. The St. Joseph medal is affording you MANY blessings unknown = VERY powerful, especially when blessed, and back in the day, many were. He is also a good man to call upon for all your endeavors upon life and the land. Keep your paths clear and easy to follow, that no unwanted 'trips' occur. Being alone, for the time being, means remaining VIGILANT! God bless you Mossy and thank-you very much for sharing your incredible life of love and simplicity. A Grateful soul is rare and a treasure to watch/see.
I'm just working my way through your videos, I love them
It's not so bad! I'm sure it will become a lovely home. You could put an earthen floor over the concrete part. I've done a few and they are really lovely to live with.
You can “ feel “ the history through the computer 💻 screen . Thank you so much for the tour ☘️❤️☘️❤️☘️
Thankyou this was incredible , good video, glad you finaly may get more subscribers now that you have invited us in this beautiful antique cottage with so much history. LOok for to know more about the plannings ahead. NO body is in a harry, most of us are struggling so dont need to apologise, totaly understand have lived in a house worst than that during the war. We actualy have wonderful memories of this time in our life,you can live very simply and happy without depts, start with one room make it confortable one day at the time. Congratulation!
Rock walls are beautiful. It has wonderful potential. Slow and steady wins the race. You will get there.
I love your channel...your dawgy is so sweet, looking forward to following all your moments in Ireland, Light and Blessings, Fen Moonleaf 🌞🌙💫 xx
Thank you for bringing this lifestyle back to life. I frequently watched Escape to the country which was extremely interesting but far out of my financial possibilities . You are an advocate for the simple life. One wants to live like the ancestors without the unnecessary hardships of course.🙂 . Keep up the good work 🙂
Did the same in Wales its took me 7 years and it has been as you say a labour of love. I have been waiting for the cottage video.Good luck and best wishes ,mike PS avoid building control...
Very interesting video and background information. The former occupant of your cottage reminds me of Hannah Hauxwell who lived alone in the High Pennines of England. (Documentary "Too Long a Winter")
I watched all the videos I could find about Hanna what an extraordinary lady
Wonderful documentary. Hannah was a rare lady.
I was so happy that she seemed to adapt to the move to the village and relieved that she had neighbours to look out for her. Bless her.
That was a wonderful programme all about Hannah Hauxwell, such a beautiful lady
Oh I've watched all I could of hannah, such a hard life she lived. Was lovely to see her move into the new house, such an amazing strong woman
Do a little at a time, and you'll be surprised you'll have it done. The stone work, even if primative is beautiful. Thank you for the tour.
Is your cottage one of the old Irish Longhouses? They are fast disappearing in Ireland. Great that you are going to bring it back to life. Those old turf fires although dirty, were the cosiest and warmest fires on a cold Irish winter night I assure you. I sat in my in-laws farmhouse decades ago and as I stared into the flames in the fireplace I realised all of my in-laws had dozed off! So funny, and lovely! I love the smell of a turf fire, and guess what, I'm a city woman myself! If you can get it in a library, look for 'The Disappearing Irish Cottage' by Symmons & Harkin, you might find it interesting. The little space beside the fireplace where you found the treasures reminds me of similar in my mother in law's farmhouse. It was warm from the fire and they kept the children's pyjamas in there, a bit like our modern day hot press. I look forward to the next instalment.
It is definitely older than my 110 yr old cottage.keep up the great work I love when people keep these old cottages alive.
I think the stonework is very beautiful !
excited for the restoration. I know you will make it into a cozy place.

Hi Daniel, thank you so much for showing all your cottage of which it may seem to some as a ruin but it is a true gem. I would love to give you a helping hand to slowing restoring it back to it;s full glory and like you modernising it would be a sacrilege.
The cottage is ADORABLE! But it is so much work! I totally see why you bought it.
I really love the humble character of this cottage, and I'm really looking forward to seeing this restoration. The chimney hole in the roof actually serves as a light source right now, and may be inspiration for adding roof windows. Can't wait to hear about your plans in the next video
The history of the old ways to be humble,to appreciate the simple way of life and not take for granted the true pleasure of the Graft that went into a day's work.

Bringing about change cannot happen quickly when funds are not there....to be true to yourself give it your best shot by taking the time to transform your beautiful home..
So lovely to hear from you again..well done you..⭐
Impressed with your vast vegetable garden, beautiful meadow & tall trees. MOSS is so adorable! You did a great job with his kennel. Smart to choose a caravan as a starting place. Envy your idyllic life to be self sufficient and neutral impact. Stay strong & happy. 🌻 🌳
