I’m a L ong time gone from Leitrim but it was lovely to see the old gaeilge (Irish) books as I studied in school > 65 yrs ago. The script is so much more familiar to me than modern rendition that replaces ‘seibhiu’ with ‘h’. Delighted that you are going to preserve them. I restored a 200 yo derelict school-house in the area 24 yrs ago. Preserving the vernacular architecture is so important. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing the progress.

@@theirishhomestead Because the books are in the 'old' Irish language, Google translate wouldn't work I reckon. Some words that didn't change much between 'old' Irish and modern Irish language, it probably can translate. They look like they've been nibbled by mice or worse, so be careful handling them. Sterling work being done by both of you as always!

That book An Faideog is from a series called Candle readers. "An Faideog" means the whistle. "Sraith Leabhar na Naomh III" is a lives of the saints kind of thing. The subtitle of it (leabhar bhréanainn) can be translated as a foul, or bad book, which makes it sound very interesting. :)

@theirishhomestead

Ай бұрын

That's really interesting! Thanks so much for interpreting. Good translation was just not getting it. Is it an older type of Gaelic?

@trishloughman5998

Ай бұрын

It's an old typeface. There were some small changes to the spellings once the switchover happened but not substantial. The pronunciations remained the same. It meant standard (British-made) typewriters could be used to type Irish, though accents or 'fadas' had to be inserted by hand. The letters with dots over them would have been followed by a 'h' in the new script.

Once again you can hear the original building expressing its happiness to being restored back to its original roots and strength, the work Becky is doing on the pointing is clearly doing its magic. You can see the stone walls changing colour from a damp black / green to seeing the stone shining. You will be glad to see the wood on site as a good indicator you will back to your master tradecraft and if people think your progress is fast on the stones I suspect that the speed of build will ramp up even more quickly. Well done, and did notice Becky sneaking in some more farm animals e.g. rabbits and its a good combination of having the farmer have the cost of feeding and looking after the sheep but you get the benefit of them being around your profit.

@theirishhomestead

Ha, thanks, Joe. I agree the stone looks like a different colour after the pointing! I love how nice it's coming on. Hopefully as you say Sam will be in his full stride soon as long as the stone work doesn't see him off first with an injury. Thanks to you that will hopefully not be the case now. Yep snuck in 2 rabbits! Sam just rolls hos eyes now. At least this time the rescues came with a house and Sam wasn't required to build anything. 🤣👍

Am I the only person who gets a little emotional when watching these videos ? And, I'm not even sure why. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that a young couple from England has chosen to set up home in my country. To resurrect an old home and bring it back to life. Doing so in such a thoughtful and sympathetic way. With respect for the people who built it originally, a very obvious recognition of the skills and crafts of these poor people. And then you see the collaboration and support that Rebecca provides to the hard working Sam. Coupled with young Euan who is not afraid of hard work. You know what, I think its Toby, that's it, Toby is to blame. I'm joking obviously, I do so love your videos and love what you are doing. You are a breath of fresh air in this crazy world.

I'm so glad! Thanks

Amazing work, totally amazing family. Jakkers, I worked up a sweat watching you lift the lentils, my wife thought I was trying to help with all the twitching I was apparently doing. I teach history and showed one of your videos to my class as to how older construction was done and how well it has held up. They were impressed to say the least. Keep up the good work.

Hilarious that you were feeling Sam's pain! I love you showed it to your class! The house is definitely a history lesson! Such an amazing building.

Ye are doing such amazing work I'm SO impressed with how much you're getting done!

Thank you so much!! It's hard but worth it.

Nice old books with wonderful illustrations featuring various animals; like a harbinger of your wonderful menagerie. The profile of the "house" is really coming into picture with the new lintel between the original structures. Your hard work is revealing a gem of a property. The description of buttresses and bench sounds like a nice feature, too, and gives us yet another reveal to anticipate down the road. Always enjoy your posts!
