Steve or Peaches aren't fans, but tolerate him. Alan on the other hand will trot after him and vice versa. To top that off, Barky Barks cat brother, a timid black cat is now friends with Alan too. So where we were quite worried about Barky Bark, turns out he will look after our three haha. We will enjoy every second and we will be back 29th :-) Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

Good evening Neuton, how are you? Yep, the "bathroom" feels bigger now the new basin and pedestal isn't in there on the floor in the corner. It also feels fresher with the new sink and the bit of vinyl on the floor. There are too many steps needed to be able to get an en-suit upstairs to be able to remove the toilet downstairs and plaster the walls etc, which will become the entire hall again. Two weeks should do it :-) We have really enjoyed today with no big jobs to be done and we have just had a nice day. See you in a couple of weeks and thank you as always :-)

It’s great ur taking time away to rest and have a think of what’s next you do need that as you do burn out. I would focus on the house and if money is tight do the prep work on the out building for a roof. Prep work is cheap but time consuming there. Keep an eye on shoes like b&q for end of line tiles etc as we saved there big time. This weather needs to pick up to pick us all up.

Hi Walking Stick Woman, how are you? We are really pleased with it. It would have been nice if it was the next size up of 900mm x 900mm but it would have pretty much touched the toilet. The rain shower top is great but not much room to get of of the way of it when you want to get the shower gel going. The nice thing is that has to be what it is but for the en-suite(s) in the bedrooms we know to go with a a larger size and maybe a rectangle too. You live and learn. Have a nice weekend :-)

It took most of the day and lots of practice flarimg the joints Was one slight leak at a compression fitting. Tightened it slightly ........and kinked the new pipe😱.

One thing I learned in our house makeover that I think you already know, is that you tend to get use to seeing the rough look. The lack of paint, nail holes, bad floors, and rotten spots that sit in waiting for upgrades and repairs. We did a full bathroom up- stairs and a half bath down-stairs. We lived in the house for 5 years before we got to work on it all. It is a lot of work and a breather is very nice. Restock and enjoy your selves and the three cats.

We have grown to love the dry lime plaster always at the bottom of the wall in the hall, the bottom tread on the stairs with the hole in and the door which still hasn't been put back on into the living room haha. We were really good and did everything we planned and needed to do first which was joists and floors, insulation and that was after sorting solar, water and a shower etc and now we can have a bit of a rest. 5 years sounds good to us, a bit here, a bit there and maybe a bit there too.

Hi, thank you to the response re, stove fan. This video is bizarre today because I have spent most of the day replacing my bathroom sink, I bought a basin from Morocco that I fell in love with. Decided to use an old chest of drawers, painted and sanded back, also a brass tap I fitted. Had to put new legs on it to make it higher. I was determined to do the plumbing myself. So after two trips to the hardware store, my water is still turned off this evening, I left one of the tap pipes in the shop, the trap doesn’t reach , the pipes from the tap isn’t long enough, and the shop has closed. So had a glass of red wine and a sandwich, calling a plumber tomorrow morning, mainly because I don’t speak plumber language, and quite frankly I’m over it. The joys of stubbornness, 😅😅😅😅

This comment has to be put up for a prize somewhere as it is brilliant. The stove fans are spinning well. The big on into the kitchen and the smaller twin fan one sideways towards the door into the hall, hopefully pushing some dry heat that way. Really odd us both doing the same thing. Yours sounds much posher than ours. You bought yours from Morocco, we brought ours from Screwfix hahaha. And an old chest of drawers to is brilliant. It sounded like you had it all under control and then it went a bit wrong. That does sound like my typical plumbing jobs to be honest I still have a IBC tank to connect, I scratch my head and move on to something else. Sorry yours didn't go to plan but love how you are over it hahaha. Hopefully it gets done quickly and you don't end up drinking too much red wine whilst your water is off lol.

We lived for 20 yrs in our reno lol cause when doing it yourself and not contractors it takes time and for me i spent alot of time away makin the money to do the renos.You got a plan stick to it don't let out side influences change it unless it saves you time and money.One room out a time is how we done it would i do it again it all depends on the circumstances and you'll learn how to do things for yourself.Always remember you ain't the only ones doin it and sometimes ya got to step away think about it maybe get help or have a drink lol...My free advice for the day all kidden aside you guys are makin good progress and enjoy the break....

Wow 20 years! Although I’m not surprised really as I feel like this could take us just as long! It’s just an ongoing thing isn’t? It does take a lot longer when you’re doing yourselves and we can only do so much at once, no matter how much I wish we could clone ourselves to get extra hands it ain’t happening! Hahaha. It’s going to be nice to take a step back for a little while and just get some kind of order of things to be done. Thank you we are definitely looking forward to it! 😊

I even said to Ben the other day we should get a caravan and move out again so that we can get to it properly but not sure I want to move back out either! 🫣🤣 Outdoors is easier because it doesn’t matter how much mess you make.

Hi. Guys. You so deserve a break! You are both wonderful! I hope you wont be offended if I offer some guidelines to make your renovation easier. This is based on 25 years of being a problem solver and Facilities Manager overseeing 12 large office renovations. 1. Buy a large wall chart with a section for each Month and red and black felt pens. 2. Leave the outbuildings for now. Concentrate on making your home a liveable space. 1. Get your hot water working for shower room and kitchen. If this means installing a boiler then do it. You need these basic comforts. 2. Get your own bedroom sorted, bit by bit. Ceilings. Walls. Useable fireplace. Plaster and painting completed. Floor polished. Rugs down. You will truly appreciate having a comfortable sanctuary at end of hard working day. You could put small sofa in too. 3. Get kitchen sorted, same way as bedroom. You then have liveable comfort while you renovate. 4. Put aside just 2 days a,week to knock unsafe trees,,clear brambles, plant up veg and wild flowers. Its best to stick to your itemised plans. You will get great satisfaction in ticking off each job as its completed! One room at a time. Of course, feel free to ignore me and do your own thing!😅But its much less exhausting to work in an organised way. Best wishes always. ❤️ ❤🎉🎉

Hi, thank you so much for this. It’s funny actually as I’ve been threatening s whiteboard from the beginning and have never gotten round to getting one and I mentioned it again last week and Ben said get one, so I think a large wall chart is also a good idea. Not offended in the least, it’s helpful to see down in text and see that we aren’t doing too bad so far. We can’t really leave the outbuildings another year as they might not last another year, you can’t really see how bad they are but they do need fixing asap and we’ve just been waiting for the weather to be good for us to be able to lime point. Also the outbuildings are key to being able to have a more organised storage area enabling us to be able to work more efficiently. Hot water is all sorted, into the kitchen and bathroom. Ben did that a few months back and that was truly a momentous occasion! lol Our bedroom is good enough at the moment and I will think will be the last room to get done bar investigating and fixing the crack in the wall. The kitchen isn’t too bad for the time being. We have all the appliances for basic needs and cooking. All in all we have tons and tons to do but for basic living we aren’t too bad and we will get there eventually with it all it’s just going to take us a long long time hahaha. As of now the house is pretty much liveable just maybe not to most people’s standards but we’re good with that. lol Having said that it would be a lot easier if we weren’t living in here at the same time because we’d be able to just get on with it all but it’s proving a lot more tricky whilst living in it, but we have no choice in that so we will struggle on with it. We aren’t meticulous with plans but we do have ideas of how and what we are to be doing next. We are very much looking forward to the next couple of weeks to get things in order and come back refreshed with ideas of what we will tackle next. 😂

Hi Cohort, thanks for watching and commenting :-) The walls on the kitchen side are pretty good thanks to the range, but the living room still has the dehumidifier running 24/7. Once a stove is fitted in there though we have high hopes. We are tempted with the same stove we have been loaned for the kitchen. A 12kw monster. Fuel so far has lasted really well, longer than in the dodgy range. So we will be trawling DoneDeal for this model. The cats are great. We don't say it too loud but these are possibly the best cats we have had for character and being stupid. See you in a couple of weeks :-)

So far, we haven’t had any dampness beneath and we’re quite conscious of it because how damp the floors were in here when we first moved in, but so far so good.

Yeah I’m not sure with ours, they lived outdoors in a shed their whole lives before we got them and I think they’ve gotten used to jumping up on shelves and surfaces to see out of the windows. Peaches was already a year old and the boys 5 months old when we got them so bad habits already formed I think. 🤔 we will see if we can train it out of them but like you say, they are stubborn little buggers! 😮🫣 exactly why I love them!

I don't know if this has been covered, but are you guys Irish citizens or do you plan to apply for Irish citizenship, at some point in the future? I am assuming that this is your long term home now. If you're not Irish citizens, does this raise any issues for you, such as healthcare or your ability to work? Sorry if I'm being nosey, I'm just curious, as to how easy or hard, the Irish government make it, for people to move there. Sadly, a lot of us have left our homeland and settled in foreign lands, so it takes a bit of getting used to, the idea that people want to move to, where we left. We left, so we could have more opportunities. However, when we left, Ireland was one of the poorest countries in Europe but now it's the richest - hard to get your head around that one. Good luck to you and your family, I hope the next ten months are better than the first. 👍👍

Just sticking my nose in here to say: It's very easy for UK citizens to move to Ireland. Ireland and the UK have a longstanding reciprocal agreement allowing each other's nationals to enter, live, work, vote, access healthcare etc in each other's countries as if they were citizens there. A few years ago, I was looking to retire home to the UK with my non-European husband of 30 years, but our lawyer advised that what with the 'hostile environment' for immigrants to the UK, it might actually be easier for me as a UK citizen to settle with a foreign spouse in Ireland than in the UK. And now, here we are in Co. Sligo, and happy to be here. 🙂
