    I want to apologise, for my comment of a few months ago. I mentioned that everything was very chaotic and so on. However, I have now watched your channel from the beginning. From leaving your house in suburban Cork City and then your one year time laps video. I really am in awe of you both, you have incredible stamina and undeniable vision and passion for your Forever Home. Please accept my apologie and thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey .

    Ammmaaazzzing! Its incredible what you have achieved in just 1 year & you haven't lost your sense of humour. You could probably have a future in running building workshops for all of those brave individuals resurrecting Ireland's derelict houses. Love the larch against the dry stone walls. Looking forward to following all that you do. 💪👌👏

  • @bluechip297

    Hi, I do a lot of hillwalking and can confirm the country is full of these derelict cottages. The history of Ireland is in these cottages from famine times to 1950s. Mass immigration and poverty led to their abandonment when the last of the families either died or immigrated. Unfortunately, it's a sad history.
    It doesn't surprise me that locals are helping as they understand the history of the land and are probably overjoyed to see a cottage being renovated for family living again.
    Thank you for respecting the history of this cottage and taking on the renovation and preserving it for years to come.
    Such renovation requires courage and hard graft. Well done to you and enjoy your home.

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Holy Moly, what a wonderful life you lead as a family! It’s a hard one, but just wait til you’re all set up, sitting with a glass of wine in front of the fireplace. This renovation is truly what the houses are needing to bring some life back into them. My ancestors left their homes to immigrate to Canada because of poverty, so I’ve seen how devastating it was for the ones who came before you, and appreciate so much that you’re breaking your backs to bring back the glory times, and capture the house’s history. Be well!❤

    My Nan is from West Cork,
    Amazing job I worked as a formwork carpenter in Dublin for 15 years.
    For first timers your concrete work was pretty damn good.
    Clare looked like a natural concrete finisher.
    Tip
    Buy a couple of fiber glass floats to help with concreting.
    Typically the float is used before the steel trowel, it helps level the concrete and bring a layer of "fat" to the top to make it easier to trowel.
    Troweling is an art in itself, worked correctly you can get it as smooth and shiny.
    Mainly for exposed concrete.

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      How wonderful to have the connection to West Cork! Yes lots to be learnt from the concreting. Sometimes I think down the line I might do that again, however to be honest im not sure anything will be redone, the imperfections tell our story 😊

    With each of our children we helped in getting old houses that need a good renovation, cheaper the better as we had to invest in matériels, we did everything except the electrics. I never wanted any of them to be renters as to my mind that is dead money. We all worked as a family on every project. From the damp courses to the roofing. Back to bare bricks then cement then plastering. Retaining their age, bringing back each first home to the era that it was built in. This ensured a great reselling price for their next larger homes. I look back and think, how did we manage all of that?! It was hard work yet still fun. 😄👍

    It isn't possible that I can comment on everything you have done in 12 months, this video really shows how much you two have done, it is remarkable. To think we found you on TH-cam, sat at your kitchen table in the dark discussing what you were going to do, to now DIY experts who have basically rebuilt their house in front of our very eyes. Not only have you done all of this but you both had full time jobs so did it at night. 1:30am, Oh my god.
    You two are truly amazing and we are so pleased we found your TH-cam channel 12 months ago. You are both inspiring and sh*t can you both work hard. Well done both of you for all of the work, well done for catching up with getting the videos out there and well done for starting a second video each week for the growing and planting etc. I know we will learn a lot from you.
    Keep on going, you really are amazing and should be so very very proud.
    All the best and Happy Easter to all four of you :-)

    Looking forward to watching all that you accomplish and seeing how the people of Ireland do things. Mighty cold there. Here in U.S., Wisconsin it dips below freezing once in a great while. I am happy about that. Love the looks of the larch siding.

    We created three bathrooms in our house as we had many children. Extended, opened up the cellar and the loft. Poor house never knew what hit her! Just as well there was room to be able for her to grow. Still have children in our home, as son and daughter in law live here and have had two children here. Result! Eight children ages from 53 to the baby of the family at 36. 👍😄

      Thanks Mary, I think anybody can do it if they put their mind to it. To be honest most of it is just hard labour and once you get through that with a general plan (Rob is excellent at the planning and prioritizing), it really isn't too bad. I guess we know how to work together, when to keep your thoughts to yourself and when to push and motivate 🤣 Thank you for watching 😊

    That was lovely to watch, to see all that progress within one year. As a parent who has had at various times 5 teenagers, I certainly understand that aspect (one reason we moved the older 3 of them into a house which was only 7 years old although I was looking for a very old house but we just could not find one where we wanted to be (in England). Some of my ancestors were from not too far away a long way back - 1700s.

I still miss my family n friends greatly. I have been following home renos in Ireland. Both of you Clare & Rob are amazing what you both have done and I am looking forward to continuing looking at where you go from the end of the time lapse. Can’t wait to see the internal of the home.

    Did ye consider putting insulation under the cladding? We renovated an old house a few years back and learned that the secret to comfort is insulation, insulation. Our house has old stone walls so we applied a thick coat (2 to 3 ins) of hemp and lime plaster internally.Good fun to apply and gets rid of condensation as well as excellent insulation.

    • @WestCorkWander
      @WestCorkWander  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We have 150mm of insulation under the cladding, as like you said insulation is key. We have yet to start on the old house, but do like the idea of hemp lime plaster 😊
