Since the roof collapsed on our historic stone built farm building last year, the walls are beginning to collapse and the gable end is becoming unstable.  Join Dawn as she explains the steps required for the huge job of restoring this Irish farm building which will really test the DIY skills of both Ben & Dawn. She covers what needs repair and what parts of the stone building need rebuilding to restore it to it's original state before finally fitting a new roof.  The tools will be dusted off, the chisels, the trowels, the cement mixer and dust masks will all have another outing after 6 months since lime mortar was last used in the farmhouse for the joists, stone door threshold repairs and not to mention the upper window stones which were close to collapse.

Ben makes improvements to the off grid rain water harvesting system after he quickly installed the whole house water filtration a few days earlier.  He explains the reason for using water filters with this off grid 4 stage water system and eagerly awaits the delivery of the ultraviolet sterilising light (UV Light).

The Raspberry bushes are tended to by the novice homesteaders in the hope of getting fruit later in the year and the drainage work to direct the surface water to is well under way with yet another ancient area uncovered and the side of the farmhouse finally getting the wet soil and grass removed from the bottom of the wall allowing it to dry out.  Don't worry, there is no digging involved (maybe a little).

After just one week, the one acre homestead needs the grass cutting again, this of course is done with a self propelled, petrol hand mower.  With some drone footage included, you can clearly see the huge improvement

Being complete beginners at farmhouse renovation and also really needing a "homesteading for beginners" guide, we are taking it slowly, enjoying everything we do no matter how hard it is, to one day realise our dream of running a fully functioning homestead from our once derelict Irish Farmhouse.
