Hi Folks. Thank you so much for all the lovely supportive comments, as always. I realised I hadn't mentioned it in the video, but please know we will be covering the horrible block work in stone so it looks more in keeping. That is not how it will look at the end 😂 We need the chimney to be strong enough to support the new roof ridge beams, hence getting it right, and with Sam working to earn some pennies, we decided it best to get a professional chimney man in. ❤ Bec.
@@theirishhomestead great work going on there! Looking forward to seeing the new chimney and eventually the new roof. The amount of work you two are doing yourselves is absolutely incredible. You must be bushed by the end of the day and go through a lot of Rub A535 lol
My mum was born in County Meath in 1929, one of fourteen children, 7 boys and 7 girls, she didn't talk much about her childhood but did tell me they lived in a long house with the animals at one end for the warmth. They cut peat in the fields. I can't imagine how hard their lives must have been, she would have been fascinated with your work in building such a beautiful home. I'm so happy for you 💞🙏💞 Just found out from my brother that mum lived in Drumbaragh, County Meath!
I've just read your comment and had to also comment. My Mum was born in 1928 and she had 14 children, 7 boys and 7 girls. I know its not an exact match, but very close ! SNAP ! We don't call it peat, its called Turf and its harvested in the bog not the fields. I expect that she lived close to the Westmeath border as I don't think there are many bogs in Meath, the land in Meath is of a very high quality. Anyhow, thanks for sharing.
The dog peeked out from behind Toby and the pair stared at the camera. Too funny and quite a pair. They're like adorable cartoon movie characters. Just love the menagerie and the admirable way this wonderful family cares for them.
I am a 74 year old woman from Canada. My dad was a builder/carpenter in the 1940's and 1950's in Toronto. His parents were probably from the Roscommon area. It is good to watch you and your helpful companions resurrect this beautiful stone home. Bless you and your Helpers and your family. The fireplace is the heart and hearth of your home. So important. All the best. I wish you good weather and good luck.
I have a picture of me with my family on top of the Roscommon Castle ruin in my Irish knit cap & dad with his paddy cap worn proudly and my mom with a Scottish tam o' shanter just to stay warm in the brisk wind ...circa 1969 or '70.
Dessie is coming out to me next week to take a look at the very dodgy walls I’ve found under the plaster! He’s obviously doing the rounds on the TH-cam channels 😂 great to see the progress you e made this week! Fireplace will look fab with the cooker
@@theirishhomestead I’m looking forward to having him and he can figure out all my problems!! After watching your vid a second time I feel like I deffo need to open my fireplaces up major inspo!!
In my country we don't have fireplaces in our homes. We have no winter season. But having subscribed to a lot of channels like yours, I've come to know how essential it is to have a functioning, sturdy chimney in your home. I look forward to seeing the whole family gather around your chimney, warming yourselves with food and laughter, and the renovations in your home done beautifully. Greetings from the Far East!
Lots of other commitments have utterly worn me out, so I need to postpone watching this one until tomorrow, Saturday. Here’s a like and a comment for the algorithm, for now.
Well sam doesnt matter how differcult the task is you always arrive with a solution .never gives in such a grafter.once the fireplace chimney and roof is completed it hopefully will be more plain sailing.good luck with all you do as a family youll reap the rewards ten fold❤
You have such a great disposition. I can feel your excitement and enthusiasm as you work so hard making a beautiful home in a new country for your family. I love watching the progress and how lovely you all are.
@@theirishhomestead what's the story of how you got the collie. She's a geat addition to your family and a friend for Toby. I can't find her story in previous videos. You've worked so hard on your renovation you deserve every happiness in life.
@Fionabren55 her owner died suddenly and she needed a new home. We, of course, said we would take her on. We didn't film much or discuss it for that family's privacy. She is a wonderful dog to have around, and we love her so much.
OK, I want to know how you got the dog to look around Toby on queue for that wonderful shot at the beginning. Welcome back to the Homestead, Master Tuck-pointer.
If you let the chickens out later the eggs won't be laid in odd places. They lay in the morning , try let them out later and they should have laid before they free range
I hate doing this. They get so stressed pacing up and down. I just can't watch them. I end up caving and letting them out. Once the cottage is done Sam will build me a bigger coop and they may prefer that.
@theirishhomestead I had one of those houses with roosting perches inside and nesting boxes . At night I'd round them up if they didn't go inside and lock them into the house over night . In the late morning I'd open the house to let them out and free range and the eggs always in the nesting boxes that way . Never had an egg laid outside the nest .
Fantastic progress Sam.I am glad you go help for the chimney. It's better done professionally for safety reasons. Becky you are back on pointing duty .Take care and God Bless you all xxxx
My sisters hens were laying outside all over the place so she kept them in till around 1 o’clock in the afternoon then would let them out so they laid inside their coop she did this for a few weeks and know they lay in the coop all the time just to let you know if you don’t want to have to go looking for eggs all the time xx
Hi guys! Wow, that range is going to look superb in the fireplace. Your work regime is relentless, do you ever rest? I know that the amount of rain you get hampers your build, but, once the house is done and the garden is underway, you'll be grateful of it to grow your fruits and veggies. And that day is getting ever nearer. Thank you, as always, for a fabulous video, and for sharing your journey with us xx
Great continuity despite the technique problems - this is so fascinating. I've watched (and done) a lot of DIY, but have never seen how to build a roof around the chimney. Not sure how you got that tarp to stick to the roof, but well done, Sam! And welcome home Bec! Sam lights up when he announces you're home.
It is nice to see all the progress. Never mind about the lost footage, these things happen. I am just happy to see things going forward. Thanks from Canada.
Hi, Such a pity the footage was lost, but the photographs were good. The doorsteps, sills, stonework & chimney are all looking good. Must have been frustrating knowing the roof was covered until Dave returns in October/ November & then having to cut out a section of it & cover it during the rain & strong gusts of wind - not for the fainthearted! Well done, Sam! You clearly have had some great people assisting you - including the Hiab operator. If you don't ask for a favour, you'll never know the answer! Delighted to see you have passed 60K subscribers. 100K by the New Year? I hope so. All the best to you all. x
Thanks. Yes we definitely need the roof on and tiled before the end of November. That's the hope! It gives me anxiety as I know exactly what storms will be heading our way very soon. 😫
Grand Euan finding the eggs just like I did has a cold of five 79 very soon lovely memory well done on all the hard work the range will be amazing tc now alllove from the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍🤗🤗👍👍
Good evening Bec’s and lovely family 😊 it was funny seeing Euan finding the hens Eggs lol 😂 Toby had a little check up on the chimney build 👍🏻 Becky do you ever stop 🤔 straight back and on the pointing job 😊 What a team building that fireplace 🤩 Take care love Stevie x
Im impressed to see someone on one of these types of channel actually opt to hire out and ensure its done right the first time. Too often I see pride before the fall. My spouse is a firefighter and seeing people DIY fireplaces and chimney without knowing how to do it right and safe is a major peeve for us. Your hard work is evident in the drastic changes you have already made. Congrats and keep up the hard work.
Thank you so much. We felt almost like we were cheating but Sam just didn't feel confident with his skills set on this task, and you're right it's such a critical element we would have been daft to just crack on for the sake of keeping up "DIY Renovation" appearances!
Hello again 😊 just wanted to say I just love the donkeys and wish I could brush their beautiful fur, and I'm really enjoying watching this phenomenal renovation , what a beautiful family 💝 as well and the whole team that's been a part of the fabulous journey 😊❤😅 much love and prayers 🙏❤
As a 78 year-old I'm watching this renovation with great awe from SA & envying u the guts u have.to take on súch a job. Thanks to all helping out & I'm looking foreward to next Sunday for a further update. Go well & good luck!!!
Greetings from Canada, so enjoyed your timelapse video I spent the week catching up with the weekly videos of your homestead, can't wait to continue watching your journey.
Love listening to the different accents. From Australia, we don't have an accent..ha ha ha ha ha the chimney will become a great feature and family hub of your home.
I absolutely love your videos. We lived 30 mins drive from Roscommon town for 7 years in a rural area. I miss it very much. I can't wait to see your finished home.
Looks awesome! Great progress. Totally agree in hiring pros for such important and big job. Plus, it's a nice break from doing things just on your own and having someone to work with. It just really helps to move things along.
What a great day when you found all the eggs. Must have suited the chickens to lay there in that spot. Great find, you must be relieved to have discovered their nest. ❤🙏🇦🇺🏡🎂😊
I finally caught up on watching all your previous videos. The new chimney looks good. A few years ago my mom and I did an Ancestry DNA test and found out that a small portion of our DNA came from Ireland. We were very surprised.
Coming along famously Sam and famz! Loving the animal family as well they’re all hanging around the house “com’on Dad when mum’s here she gets us fed early”!❤ Great job it’s going to look specky when finished!👌
Well done getting the sound advice & help from a professional at the point of the build you need it There is DIY & there is sound building practices in the long run See you next time
Chimney looks really good! Well done! The door steps too. Who gets to get up on the roof and build the rest of the chimney? Are you going to nail Desi's shoes to the floor to keep him from leaving? Lol. Ya gotta love a man with his own crane! Nice of him to move those tiles for you. That saved you some hours. How long does the chimney have to cure before you can use it? Screw the camera! You do it safely and show us after! I'd rather have a whole Sam than ten minutes of footage. I'll pray for very low wind and rain that passes over you and hits the neighbors down the road! Be well and stay safe!
Great progress again, despite all the crazy storms we've been getting this past couple of weeks. Really glad to see you've got some great helpers. It's always good to be able to thrash out a plan of attack for each challenge when you have other people there.
So sad you lost your footage but gee what a surprise to see so much done, go you and your amazing team of helpers. Yes, tarps and Irish weather don't mix real well but you got it done. Congratulations on another awesome episode and can't wait for the next episode 😀 🌬⚒️🪚
I was very glad to find your channel last week! You have made huge progress so far, and I look forward to seeing everything take shape as the work progresses. Keep up the excellent work!
What I can’t get over is how you are doing all this work on the roof without a safety line in case you fall. In Canada a lot of workers have harnesses and safety lines on them just in case. 😊
One last comment. The handsome bald gentleman's accent is super too, but the gentleman wearing the hat - ??? I couldn't understand. The Irish is so enchanting......
You are very lucky to be able to get large trucks on site. Our cottage is at the bottom of a very steep, narrow long lane. Everything has to be dropped at the top of it and wheelbarrow-ed down.
It's really coming together now. It's looking good. It will be nice when you finally can do all the finishing touches. Still a long way to that. That crane driver guy was awesome, it's hard finding people who will help. Keep on going! Can't wait to see this through to completion 😊😊
So funny watching your collie dog and your donkey in the background at the start of this video! The dog is trying to herd your donkey, but donkey is having nothing to do with it! I love them. That kitten is gorgeous, and your black cat is beautiful. You are all working so hard, and it is slowly and surly all coming together. Blessings from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx
Your dog being a real shepherd's dog he seems to be at his wits ends with this donkey that simply doesn't think of moving. It's so interesting to see these ingrained habits of different species.
I'ved watch a couple on a vlog do the pointing with a cloth piping bag . They fill it with the mix and piped it in then smoothed it off . . It looked a lot quicker and less messy . I hope that helps a bit and it might save a bit of time

@@creekyknee Thank you, my memories are a bit sketchy for sure, I do remember her talking about bogs and not always having shoes!🫣
@@creekykneeThere’s bogs north and south of Kinnegad and a couple west of Navan.
But yeah, great land. Flat and dry.
I love how your dog & donkey connect. Maybe he doesn't need a donkey friend.
❤
The dog peeked out from behind Toby and the pair stared at the camera. Too funny and quite a pair. They're like adorable cartoon movie characters. Just love the menagerie and the admirable way this wonderful family cares for them.
I'm going to try another donkey but if it doesn't work out they will be best buds forever.
Its worth a try i agree but honestly he looks so happy as he is. Cant wait forr the firl friend though@@theirishhomestead
@@theirishhomestead lovely progress keep it up

Kelly? The second most common surname in Ireland after Murphy. God help you trying to trace family history with that name.
@@Dreyno DNA.
@@heenanyou Possibly. But it depends on the random chance of someone else doing a test on the same website.
There is help out there for free. DNAngels love to help.
I have a picture of me with my family on top of the Roscommon Castle ruin in my Irish knit cap & dad with his paddy cap worn proudly and my mom with a Scottish tam o' shanter just to stay warm in the brisk wind ...circa 1969 or '70.
Santa said he was impressed with the new chimney, top job to all involved.
Always important to keep the BIG MAN informed and happy!
I admire the patience of the donkey, who is constantly being looked after by the border collie!
Yes he is such a gent.
Great shot of doggie peeking around the back of Toby . Looking great there Sam and Bec
Love that shot! It would make a great poster or calendar page (if they ever do a calendar, which would be awesome)
It was such a good clip wasn't it. Sometimes you get lucky with the animals sometimes not 🤣
Early in the vid, it looked like the dog was trying to provoke the donkey to bolt so they could run together & play ...donkey wasn't having any of it.
Dessie is coming out to me next week to take a look at the very dodgy walls I’ve found under the plaster! He’s obviously doing the rounds on the TH-cam channels 😂 great to see the progress you e made this week! Fireplace will look fab with the cooker
I like the look of your channel and I can't wait to have a binge watch tomorrow. You have a new subscriber 😀
Ahh yes he said he was. He will look after you I'm sure Aisling. ♥️
@@theirishhomestead I’m looking forward to having him and he can figure out all my problems!! After watching your vid a second time I feel like I deffo need to open my fireplaces up major inspo!!

I love the way that your sheepdog is keeping an eye on Toby ! Its in their genes, to walk around like that and keep checking on him.

Loosing that footage was no big deal, the still shots, did fine. Amazing amount of work accomplished this week, again
Thanks 👍
Hard to believe the transformation from where you started, to what it looks like now. Just amazing.
You have such a great disposition. I can feel your excitement and enthusiasm as you work so hard making a beautiful home in a new country for your family. I love watching the progress and how lovely you all are.
Thank you so much!
Toby the donkey looks SO happy. He and your sheepdog are best buddies.
Thank you.

Awesome idea to secure the tarp hope it stands up to the storms and wind. I can’t believe how much you two have gotten done with minimal help.
My sisters hens were laying outside all over the place so she kept them in till around 1 o’clock in the afternoon then would let them out so they laid inside their coop she did this for a few weeks and know they lay in the coop all the time just to let you know if you don’t want to have to go looking for eggs all the time xx
I tried this but they pace up and down and hate bring trapped. I just have in and let them out. I'm too soft!

So happy to see all the great things you've accomplished!❤
So glad you took pictures while doing the chimney ❤
The pics are thanks to Dessie
The range is going to be perfect there..right in the center of your home...
Your vision is beautiful..
Thank you ♥️
Great continuity despite the technique problems - this is so fascinating. I've watched (and done) a lot of DIY, but have never seen how to build a roof around the chimney. Not sure how you got that tarp to stick to the roof, but well done, Sam! And welcome home Bec! Sam lights up when he announces you're home.
Thank you. It's definitely all back to front and tops turvy order but we kinda know what we are doing 🤣

Great to see the new chimney taking shape. Its weird, but I find the Irish lads accents very good/funny. And I'm Irish !
They sound very re-assuring.

DONT FORGET TO HAVE THAT CHIMNEY CLEANED ONCE A YEAR
LOVE UR HOME
UR BUILDER HAS MY NUMBER 😅😅😅
Slowly but sure, you're getting there seem a long week for me waiting for sat, to watch, keep going guys keep going :)
Thanks, will do!
What a great day when you found all the eggs. Must have suited the chickens to lay there in that spot. Great find, you must be relieved to have discovered their nest. ❤🙏🇦🇺🏡🎂😊
Yes it was! They love to make us hunt down those eggs! 🤣
Yea!!!!! The fireplace going back in. New and improved.
The weathers been absolutely brutal, But you guys have ploughed through it❤. Least from now most work will be indoor, just in time for winter coming😅
It really has! Past 2 summers have been dreadful. Our farmer neighbour is shrinking his cattle size due to the fields being so wet. 😢
@theirishhomestead Omg that's brutal. 😒
I finally caught up on watching all your previous videos. The new chimney looks good. A few years ago my mom and I did an Ancestry DNA test and found out that a small portion of our DNA came from Ireland. We were very surprised.
Coming along famously Sam and famz! Loving the animal family as well they’re all hanging around the house “com’on Dad when mum’s here she gets us fed early”!❤ Great job it’s going to look specky when finished!👌
Yes I think the 6am feeds went out of the window slightly 🤣
I’m so amazed at the work and dedication that you and your family are putting into your home. Thank you for sharing with us.
You are very welcome!
Well done getting the sound advice & help from a professional at the point of the build you need it
There is DIY & there is sound building practices in the long run
See you next time
Top work as usual and people who are in the know about how too do building work always helps
Great progress guys, well done 🙂
Thank you! 😀
Chimney looks really good! Well done! The door steps too. Who gets to get up on the roof and build the rest of the chimney? Are you going to nail Desi's shoes to the floor to keep him from leaving? Lol.
Ya gotta love a man with his own crane! Nice of him to move those tiles for you. That saved you some hours.
How long does the chimney have to cure before you can use it?
Screw the camera! You do it safely and show us after! I'd rather have a whole Sam than ten minutes of footage.
I'll pray for very low wind and rain that passes over you and hits the neighbors down the road!
Be well and stay safe!
Yes Dessie has been a great help. Sam has enjoyed bouncing stuff off him. It was good to hear he thought what we had done so far was good. 👍
Had a 300 year old house…see many things in renovating in common!
Great progress this week, shame about the lost footage but that's how it goes. 👍
Great progress again, despite all the crazy storms we've been getting this past couple of weeks. Really glad to see you've got some great helpers. It's always good to be able to thrash out a plan of attack for each challenge when you have other people there.
The progress you are making is exciting - hope the weather stays dry for you xx
So sad you lost your footage but gee what a surprise to see so much done, go you and your amazing team of helpers. Yes, tarps and Irish weather don't mix real well but you got it done. Congratulations on another awesome episode and can't wait for the next episode 😀 🌬⚒️🪚
Thanks 👍
Thanks for taking us along
I was very glad to find your channel last week! You have made huge progress so far, and I look forward to seeing everything take shape as the work progresses. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you so much!
That looked hard! Glad you're back home, Becca :)
Love your ginger kitten to sweet for words plus the Cottage looks so good
Thank you! 😊
I'm so glad you have had help.
Thank you so much gentleman I appreciate this very much.
Good work guy's it's nice having people to help. You are brave going up and down the ladder x
Thanks so much
YAY! New Video....🤠
What I can’t get over is how you are doing all this work on the roof without a safety line in case you fall. In Canada a lot of workers have harnesses and safety lines on them just in case. 😊
Love the work ethic and devotion to the dream. Kudos 👏
Sam, the new chimney is coming along, welcome home Rebecca. God bless you Sam, Rebecca, Isabella, Euan. God. bless Dave and his crew.
Lovely patchwork roof… ❤️
A work in progress..
One last comment. The handsome bald gentleman's accent is super too, but the gentleman wearing the hat - ??? I couldn't understand. The Irish is so enchanting......
Music, scenery, great progress on the build. Fantastic.
Have a great day.
You are very lucky to be able to get large trucks on site. Our cottage is at the bottom of a very steep, narrow long lane. Everything has to be dropped at the top of it and wheelbarrow-ed down.
I've been waiting for my Toby fix
It's really coming together now. It's looking good. It will be nice when you finally can do all the finishing touches. Still a long way to that. That crane driver guy was awesome, it's hard finding people who will help. Keep on going! Can't wait to see this through to completion 😊😊
He was really kind to help us out.
Such a beautiful place....
It really is!
well done , chimney will look brilliant ,glad u got roof covered in the end
Love my Irish Family, Sam, Bec, Euan & Isabella - from Patrick Courtney in Portland Oregon.
My dad's family is from Roscommon. We still have relatives there living on the old family land.
Another amazing vlog. You are doing brilliantly.
So frustrating when the weather is chasing you !!! ❤🦘
So funny watching your collie dog and your donkey in the background at the start of this video! The dog is trying to herd your donkey, but donkey is having nothing to do with it! I love them. That kitten is gorgeous, and your black cat is beautiful. You are all working so hard, and it is slowly and surly all coming together. Blessings from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx
Makeing great progress Sam ,looking well
kind regards Sean
Lovely to see the chimney being reinstated....the aga will look well there
Looking good. Glad you got help in to speed up the fireplace and chimney. All good progress.
You and me both!
Was getting worried enjoy watching your video's as I have Sunday breakfast. So good to get the chimney up.
Wow you are doing an amazing job Sam ❤
Your dog being a real shepherd's dog he seems to be at his wits ends with this donkey that simply doesn't think of moving. It's so interesting to see these ingrained habits of different species.
👍👍👍. Thank you
So amazing at the difference between the beginning and now-will be even better when you are done! Such dedication!
Thank you
I'ved watch a couple on a vlog do the pointing with a cloth piping bag . They fill it with the mix and piped it in then smoothed it off . . It looked a lot quicker and less messy .
I hope that helps a bit and it might save a bit of time
