Big changes on our DIY stone cottage renovation in Ireland!
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 first ring beam goes on.

    Great work Sam while Rebecca is away - no slacking mind ! Putting the trusses up is your craft and the building will look terrific when that’s done. It’s amazing how much stone is produced from small parts of the original cottage.

    Oh my goodness, the break through is really making a difference to the feel of the house! it is no longer an old abandoned building. It is now a much loved house, and a home in the making. As a family you are working toward your dream. Well done to all of you, look how far you've come in a short while (and most of that time has been the bad weather and short daylight hours months) As always, thanks for sharing all of this with us xxx

    That would’ve been a bed nook. Sometimes entirely stone with a curtain and usually a wooden box type bed set into the wall with a curtain across it. Always built near the fireplace for warmth. Sometimes there wouldn’t be a recess and there would be a “settle bed” which was a wooden bench which folded out into a bed. They were a later feature than the dedicated bed nook.
