Camper Vibe
VAN LIFE IN BLACKPOOL… the tower, pleasure beach, and a motorhome park up by the sea.
updated
One month ago we decided to build ourselves an off grid, timber frame cabin, UNDERNEATH our old abandoned barn on our little Irish homestead.
The idea was to give us a warm, safe shelter in time for Christmas.
With only one month to get the tiny home built, it was always going to be tough during the Irish winter, especially with the recent storms and bad weather we've had!
In this video, find out if we made it..

We have been going well so far though, and it's finally time to put the roof on, which, when its made up of the heaviest of our materials, on already tired bodies, it was a challenge?
A challenge made no easier by the unpredictable Irish weather!
With time running out, the weather playing havoc, ad everything starting to break (including us) moving into our tiny home in time for Christmas is looking less and less likely...

This week the cabin build continues with our most nerve racking job so far, as the wooden house gets some exciting additions!
With the Christmas deadline fast approaching, finishing the timber frame cabin is going to be tough, but in this video we can at least see some progress and start to visualise what the little wooden homes interior may look like.
Getting watertight will be the next big challenge, and with the harsh irish weather not helping its soon to get pretty intense...

In this video our timber frame cabin build really gets going, as we make major progress with the framing, lintels, and siding! Our wooden frame merges into a huge OSB wooden box, but we have walls! It's finally looking like an actual room, and we can start to see what our tiny home will look like.
This little cabin is going to be amazing for us living out in the remote country, especially as the winter weather is really starting to kick in.
Stay tuned to see this little off grid space develop as we continue to renovate our traditional old farm cottage in ireland, 'cos lets face it, restoring the old farm and making a homestead is going to take a while!

This week we are trying our best to get on with our DIY timber cabin build, but storm Darragh arrives with other ideas! Framing walls and getting them up in force 12 winds certainly isn't easy. On top of that the storm damage left behind is only adding to the list of things that will slow us down.
Hopefully we can find a way to frame our walls and get watertight before the next big storm arrives, who said an off grid cabin build in the winter wasn't easy?!

In this cabin build video we get going on framing the walls, and we make a good start, but a frustrating delay is slowing the DIY wooden house down!
We knew that doing this off grid in Ireland in the winter would be a challenge, and the weather is giving us all sorts of problems, but additional delays are putting our timeline under serious pressure!
Will there be a wooden cabin on our little homestead by Christmas?! It's going to be tight!

This week our cabin build continues, as we try to get this little off grid tiny home built before Christmas.
During the Irish winter it's definitely going to be a challenge! But with Emily now back from New York, I'm sure the timber framing will get quicker.
The floor gets completed in this video and we can begin to think about building the stud walls.
It's starting to get very exciting at our traditional irish cottage restoration!

This week one of us is away, and one of us is building alone, or at least trying to, as the cold, and storm Bert do their best to slow things down!
We are attempting to convert an old abandoned barn into a cosy wooden cabin to get us through the winter whilst we are unexpectedly stationary at our remote cottage in Ireland.
We've hit pause on the traditional cottage renovation to try and get comfortable for Christmas, a deadline that looking less and less likely each day!

This week we have major plans to build an off grid solution to our tiny home living problems, that will help get us through winter at our Irish farmhouse restoration.
Our traditional stone cottage renovation is going to take a bit longer than originally planned, as we have made a big decision about what we will do with that triangle wall! Who knows what we will find this time as we expose yet another original stone wall!
This off grid cabin build is something a bit different, and I don't think ive ever seen one built quite like this before, so stay tuned cos it's about to get really exciting, especially as we are on a very tight time frame before the weather really turns bad!

PREPARING FOR OUR FIRST WINTER at our REMOTE LAND in IRELAND.
This week we are prepping for our first winter, off grid, on our own, under our old barn.
Being in Ireland this winter was unexpected, but due life's swings and roundabouts, its where we are.
Our remote cottage is beautiful in the spring and summer, but we are about to find out what its like living out in the country during the harsh Irish winter.
We need to be prepared for the strong winds, heavy rains and just maybe, if you believe this weeks forecast, the snow!
Can we master how to survive winter off the grid?
Are we ready for a winer in the middle of nowhere? And will our wonky old buildings hold up?!

This week we are getting back to normal at our remote cottage renovation in Ireland.
After being delayed with surgery and recovery for the last few weeks we can carry on with outside projects before we need to stop for the winter.
The French drain finally gets finished and hopefully this will stop the damp problems in our old house.
We think this little farm house will look fantastic eventually and just this small change is already making it look more like a home.

Everything we built in our first 6 months - traditional farmhouse restoration.
After buying our dream house in Ireland just six months ago, in this video we look back at everything we've built in that time. And when we say built, what we really mean is knocked down, demolished, destroyed and removed!
We've got big plans for this abandoned off grid homestead, the land has so much potential and the old stone cottage is going to be amazing now that we've uncovered the original stone walls.
We've done a lot in our first six months, and look forward to sharing some exciting projects over the next six months.
Stay tuned to see how this old farm turns out!

Hard work and healing at our old Irish stone cottage renovation.
After spending the last six months steaming through our traditional irish stone cottage renovation, last week, things came to a sudden halt! We had received some unexpected and shocking news.
This week we are continuing with our DIY renovation, but slowly, as we start to heal and find our new normal.

As Autumn arrives at our little old cottage in Ireland, it brings with it some unexpected, awful news.
Our DIY renovation was plodding along pretty nicely up until this point, but we will need to slow things down considerably now. Hopefully this video does a good job of explaining what's been going on and we will be back to fixing up our traditional Irish cottage very soon, or as our friends across the pond call it, our "off grid stone cabin in the countryside!"

Since we started our DIY Irish cottage renovation, many of you have asked how will we keep the 300 year old stone walls warm?
In this video, as we uncover the rest of the 300 year old walls, we attempt to explain why we won't be using insulation on the walls and instead will use traditional building methods to benefit from thermal mass.
By getting rid of damp and keeping the house warm and dry, we shouldn't need insulation.
We also make some intriguing and slightly worrying discoveries... again! It wouldn't be a traditional cottage restoration without a few nightmares behind the walls right?!

Excavation begins at our remote Irish cottage - DIY renovation of stone house.
This week we are trying to stop the water getting into our old stone cottage.
We are attempting to add adequate drainage to keep the Irish rain our of our stone home. It's particularly bad in the old stone shed which we intend to make into our home. Can we renovate this derelict barn into something special?
This of course means big machines, well bigger than Lous SDS drill anyway! Bring in the diggers!!

BUYING A REMOTE COTTAGE - Cost - budget - fees - renovating traditional cottage in Ireland.
After buying our dream home, a remote, traditional stone cottage in Ireland, the biggest question by far has been how much did it cost?
In this weeks video we tell you just that, as well as how we are funding the restoration, what additional fees were involved, exactly what we got for our money and dealing with the banks and exchange rates buying a house in Ireland as a foreigner!
If you've been watching our DIY cottage renovation then you'll know just how much work we've taken on, and how much material we are going to need to buy! We cover our budget for this project, material costs, surveys and some of the problems that have come up along the way. As well as how we are saving a fortune on labour, and plans to do as much reclamation as we can.
If you are considering a remote lifestyle, possibly off the grid, in a peaceful wilderness somewhere, then hopefully this video will help in knowing if its achievable for you!
As always, thank you so much for watching!

This week at our remote Irish stone cottage renovation, the derelict barn gets a new floor! Now it's a bit of a bodge job, but hopefully it will see us through whilst we make room for the big projects coming up.
Restoring a stone house isn't easy, and I needed a quick, budget friendly way of getting a new floor in the old derelict stone barn.
With Emily not here, I find myself working alone on this DIY project. Building a workshop will help massively as we move forward on our little off grid Irish homestead!

Irish farmhouse restoration - using traditional methods in old stone cottage.
This week we are back to living and working at our off grid Irish cottage. The gable wall is a huge feature in our final plans for this little homestead, and after all the structural issues we've faced so far, we are really hoping we can save it.
Using traditional methods only, we put our lime pointing skills to the test, as we try to repoint, and repair this wall using hot lime mix only.
Who said restoring a 200 year old abandoned stone house was going to be easy...
First attempt and lime pointing basics - youtu.be/JMOB70ugX-Q?si=aRjMoeAuRVYMOE63

This week we return to our DIY cottage renovation in off grid rural ireland... with Lous mum! We tackle the challenges that a 200 year old stone cottage and its land present when left unattended for a while before setting off on a campervan trip around Ireland.
We start with some van life in Northern Ireland before making our way to county Donegal.
There's some hiking, wild swimming and some brilliant wild camping spots as we explore this country we've decide to make home.
There's a reason we bought a Cottage in Ireland, this video hopefully demonstrates why...

This week we are starting with some good old fashioned van life adventure... it's been a while!
We attempt to climb a big rock in Snowdonia in Wales and stay on a cracking campsite there.
We then get the ferry from anglesey in Wales, to Dublin in Ireland, and drive our van across Ireland to our little old stone cottage that we've been renovating over the last few months.
Since moving to Ireland full time earlier this year we've yet to have family come and see the little remote cottage, well this week we have a special guest in tow...

This week we are continuing to attempt make make this old stone barn a cozy stone home. Using hot lime mortar, we finally get going repointing the 200 year old walls. It's definitely a slow, meticulous process using these age old traditional methods, but we are finding that the end results are worth the effort.
Let us know what you think.. and how this 200 year old DIY off grid irish cottage is starting to look now we are finally making some progress forward to getting this little homestead renovated!

Over the last 5 years we've done a lot, and documented all of it here on YouTube.
There's been ups, and there's been downs.. who can forget that van life nightmare when we had with our major breakdown in Spain!
We've travelled to over 20 countries, lived in our van full time, sold our house, bought a cottage, moved to a whole new country, accidentally took my mum dogging, accidentally camped on a nudist beach, accidentally camped in the most haunted woods in England, accidentally got stuck in the mud in the middle of nowhere in Spain and somewhat accidentally ended up in a very different place to where it all started.
We've been on epic roads trips, van life in Norway was amazing, Sweden magical, the snowy mountains of the Swiss alps mind blowing... it goes on!
The last 5 years, well its been emotional, and now, in our little stone cottage in Ireland we can finally stop and see it for what it was...

Traditional farmhouse restoration - fixing the stone walls in old stone cottage.
Have a look at Neil and Emma’s adventures here @UrbanVanlife and see how they go travelling around the very beautiful Ireland.
This week we have some tricky jobs to do before we can progress with the big renovations. After uncovering the original stone walls, there's some structural issues that need sorting before we can rectify the roof or dig out the old floor.
The gable wall we recently exposed, with its forgotten fireplace is going to look amazing once we get it repointed with our hot lime mix, we just need to fix it first!
We also tackle the large hole left from the chimney coming down.
There's big progress with our move to Ireland as we get more and more settled with the purchase of a new Irish car!

This week I am renovating our very old stone cottage alone. I try to master some traditional building methods, as I attempt to mix hot lime ready to repoint these old stone walls.
We can't wait to restore our little off grid Irish homestead, and learning how to mix quicklime is just the start of us getting to grips of rebuilding with traditional methods.
My favourite part of this house renovation so far though, is the history we are finding every single time we uncover the old walls! This week has the most fascinating historical finds yet..

THIS WAS TOUGH! MAJOR CHANGES at our IRISH COTTAGE RENOVATION.
This week at our cottage in ireland we continue where the builders left off, with 48 hours of mass destruction!
Huge shout out to Dessie and Red, yo can find Dessie on TikTok here tiktok.com/@dgdevelopments?_t=8o0q2AccXHF&_r=1

With the hole in the wall for the patio doors and the doorway made to go through to the snug now in, our house is already looking very different. We crack on and get all the ceilings down and once you can see the vaulted ceiling, the place is barely recognisable from where we started!
We've been renovating this old stone cottage for 3 months now, and with the off grid are out back complete and all the major demolition pretty much finished (lets not talk about the floor yet) we are very excited to soon be building back up, and finally making this place into our home!

Trying to restore old stone walls - (our first time!) - Cottage restoration in Ireland.
This week we are finally getting to start restoring the ancient stone walls that make up our cottage, sheds and outbuildings.
We are trying to turn this old stone shed into a cozy tiny home, starting with the stonework in what will become the off grid office, before we get onto the "snug" (or living room).
We start the process of raking out the joints, ready to repoint with traditional materials. We will be repointing with hot lime mortar in preparation for replastering with lime and rendering the outside with a lime render, or just a simple lime wash.
After weeks of major demolition and knocking walls down, it s nice to be doing something that means we are actually restoring some of the stone walls, which is a big part of why we bought this little remote country cottage in the first place.
Renovating our new home really is starting to get exciting now, there's a long way to go as this is just the start but we can't wait to see how this home renovation goes!

With these walls being over 200 years old and constructed from solid (very big) stones, it comes down it quite dramatic fashion!
This whole process was made much easier because of Dessie and Red. DG developments were fantastic throughout. This is in no way sponsored but if you’re looking for a good builder these guys are well worth a shout. The only link I have for Dessie is his page on bark and his TikTok which I’ll leave below, or give us a shout and we will pass on his number.

Ever wondered what it's like to see a chimney come down THROUGH the fireplace, crashing onto the floor? Well it's a sight to behold!
Anyway, with the wall down, the renovation is finally moving forward and we now have the start of a big open plan kitchen/diner.
This cottage restoration is no longer a restoration, more of a renovation but we will still be doing our best to keep the old farm houses character, using traditional materials wherever we can.

After weeks of work at our abandoned stone cottage in Ireland, we finally have our temporary off grid home finished (well almost, is it ever?)
This week we complete the woodworking projects with new double entrance gates as well as some much needed landscaping additions and some much needed off grid lighting.
Lou has the new DJI portable power station which will be excellent for vanlife, road trips, camping and most importantly for us right now, off grid living.
Now that we are settled on our off grid land, we can really start to focus on restoring our 200 year old cottage, you don't want to miss the next video.. walls should be coming down and ive a feeling there will be stone fly everywhere!

We timed this perfectly! - Life under our off grid barn whilst restoring old cottage.
This week we are making some modifications to our new off grid living space under our old abandoned barn.
Whilst we renovate our really old cottage in Ireland we are living off the grid on our land, taking our time to figure out what to do with our wonky stone walls doesn't matter, there is always a small project to be getting along with here on the abandoned farm.
Lessons learnt this week.. listen to your wife, it would have saved me having to correct this mistake on this DIY carpentry project.

What language would you love to learn?
A big change of plans renovating our old stone house - a raw conversation.
Since buying our 200 year old remote cottage in Ireland we've had some ups and downs already. We've uncovered the 200 year old stone walls and after peeling through the layers of history, they're falling down.
Our plan to restore this old cottage as sympathetically as possible now may have to change, as to be honest, over the years, much of it has been lost already.
In this video we are going through our new plans and ideas for the place, a conversation we've yet to have with each other...
We'd love to know what you guys would do if renovating something similar (and no, knocking it down is not an option, just defeatist) would you go option 1, option 2 or option 3?

We bought our dream home.. it's falling down! Renovating a 200 year old stone cottage.
As major demolition finally begins, it's pretty quickly halted!
As we continue to expose the 200 year old stone walls, it rapidly becomes apparent just how wonky, crumbly and well, falling over this house is.
Restoring a remote old cottage on an abandoned farm was always going to be a challenge, but what we find under the plasterboard make this challenge just that bit tougher.
We do make good progress on our off grid barn though, and our cat Summer finally gets her freedom!

This week we finish a project that is going to make a huge difference, particularly for one of us.
Renovating this old remote cottage in Ireland is sure to be a struggle at times but will be so much easier now we finally have this.
Honestly, we love being camped up at our little off grid barn, abandoned many years ago, it's slowly becoming the perfect home for us.
Restoring this 200 year old cottage will take some time, so being comfortable whilst we remodel is going to be key.
With the old barn secure we can now move onto the big things, like major demolition, which will start in the next video, and im certain there will be some surprises in store and challeneges to face. In the meantime, we are enjoying the off grid life here in ireland!

It's harder by myself - Restoring 200 year old stone cottage ALONE. (Renovation project in Ireland)
This week Emily has left and I'm attempting to restore this 200 year old cottage all by myself.
I continue with the perimeter for the off grid barn area before going in the attic to get a better look at just how the 200 plus, year old old stone walls are constructed.
What I find is interesting, and has given me thoughts of a whole new design plan for our old cottage kitchen design... but that will have to wait a week or two..
Renovating this remote cottage in Ireland is certainly a challenge, follow along to see just how I get on and if my wife will ever return and pick up a shovel to help!

After what already feels like weeks of demolition and clearing out, this week we are exposing the 200 year old walls, specifically the old fireplace and chimney in the cottage kitchen.
We seek advice from a specialist to see if we can even retain it, we get a large truck stuck up our narrow lane, there's a hospital visit for one of us and progress on the off grid barn continues with some help from our friends @phillyandkeely
Every week of renovations at our remote cottage in Ireland is an interesting one, we are having such fun adapting to country living and learning to live in rural Ireland. It's a different way of life and very soon our off grid living space will be complete and we can really push on restoring the old house. Subscribe if you want to see how we go with it, its gonna be tough, expensive, physically demanding, there will be tears of joy and frustration I am sure, BUT, its going to be one epic adventure!

This week at our old abandoned cottage in Ireland, we start the prep to build a little off grid living area under our old barn.
We are so excited to be renovating the 200 year old house, but, after demolition started last week, its clear it's going to take a while. Who knows what other problems we are going to uncover along the way?!
We've live off grid in our van for quite some time now and are very much ready to do the same in a stationary way for a while, we think our dog and cat are going to love it. At least we are finally making some progress..

In this weeks video our 200 year old cottage renovation project really gets underway as we strip back the plaster board to reveal the 200 year old stone walls.
How much damage lies beneath? Turns out its A LOT! We take a look at the ancient chimney, the old lime pointing as well as discover centuries of hidden history!
We knew restoring an old abandoned cottage in remote Ireland was going to be a challenge, but this is just the start! Follow along to see just how bad the damp issues become, how we attempt to rectify them all while keeping this traditional old cottage as original as we can.
As always, thanks so much for watching.

Renovating a 200 year old cottage - what have we taken on?! First few days living in rural Ireland.
After the excitement of last week when we bought a house, this week we are settling into life in remote, rural Ireland. To get a better idea of exactly what we have taken on we visit @theirishhomestead who are tackling a huge renovation project of their own.
This is our first few days at our old little cottage, and we can't be more excited to start restoring it.
This week we start to clear the land and empty the house, ready for when we remove the plaster to expose the 200 year old stone walls. That's when we will really know exactly what is ahead of us, and spoiler alert, it's A LOT!
Stay tuned if you want to see just how bad these old chimneys and stone walls really are, it's gonna be some work that's for sure!!

This is it folks, we FINALLY have the keys to our dream home in Ireland! We cannot wait to share this ancient traditional stone cottage with you, and we can now give you the full house tour!
It's going to be quite the restoration project, as we attempt to take this little Irish cottage back to its original state (with some modern comforts of course) but the plan is to use traditional as much as possible materials such as lime plaster and horse hair!
It's going to be quite the learning curve, and one hell of a journey, but we are hoping to make our little homestead as off grid as possible as we build a life in remote Ireland, we do hope you're coming along for the ride, something tells me its gonna get interesting.. hit subscriber to see how we go!

England to Ireland to find my wife and go buy a house - (Solo Female Van Life Ireland)
It's finally happening, we are buying our remote cottage in Ireland! It feels like we've been waiting ages to start our 200 year old cottage renovation, and we have, but this week we should be closing on the sale and getting the keys to our very own little haven in the countryside.
In preparation, one of us had to go back to the UK, leaving the other one alone in Ireland for a bit of good old solo female van life, and the other, with an epic journey to traverse the whole of Great Britain alone! 😂
We can't wait to get started on our abandoned house, and we can't wait to share it with you, so fingers crossed it all goes through and our very next video should finally be our house tour!!

MAJOR FRUSTRATION! - Buying a house whilst exploring Ireland.
This week we continue pursuing our dream of buying a remote 200 year old cottage in Ireland so we can live an off grid, alternative life in the countryside. However, as with all these things, the process can be a frustrating one..
Whilst we navigate the problems involved in buying an old cottage in the middle of nowhere, we head up to Northern Ireland for some much needed van life adventures. We really do love travelling around Ireland in our campervan, the scenery and Irish history really is something special, as hopefully we are able show you in this video. Plus the wild camping in Ireland provides us with some of the best free vanlife park ups we've ever had! Theres so much more to exploring Ireland than just the wild Atlantic way, it's a brilliant and easy country to travel and live in a van, just not so easy when it comes to buying a house!

This week we leave Portugal, drive through Spain, and put our self converted camper van on a 29 hour long ferry to get to Ireland so we can buy a house! Or not in this case.
After spending months in Ireland last year we bought a remote 200 year old cottage and were hoping that after travelling from Spain on a ferry, with a dog and cat, that it would finally be time to collect our keys and start our off grid alternative life in the peaceful countryside.
However, as with all good plans, there's some problems to iron out, or in our case, problems on top of problems, all wrapped up in red tape and paperwork.
But, we are back to van life in Ireland, and I think you will see in this video just how happy we are about that. We don't yet know exactly when we can move into our little old cottage, but we do know its going to be one hell of a journey, a very long journey and this is just the beginning..

what if you need medical care on the road? (Urgent surgery/biopsy abroad)
For the last 4 years we've been travelling full time in our self converted campervan all over Europe. Wild camping and parking up in beautiful locations from Scandinavia to the South of Spain, and it really is living freely, it's liberating not to be fixed to one place and have new adventures on you (sliding) door step every single day.
But one question we get a lot, and most peoples concern with living a nomadic life, off the grid is.. "But what do you do when you need a doctor?" "where do you go for medical help?" or (like us in this weeks video) "What if you need an operation, urgent biopsy and tests?"
Well finally, here in Portugals Algarve, we can finally show you just what its like navigating a medical issue whilst travelling!

Van Life in "luxury" comes to an uncertain end - Portugal, Albufeira.
After spending over 6 weeks on one of the most popular (and biggest), campsites in the Algarve, it's finally time to leave Albufeira and get back to some wild camping across Portugal, as make our way north.
However, as is often the case with a life on the road, there's a potentially problematic situation to navigate first, and it's a new one on us.
Before we leave though, we have enough time to do a few, fun tourist attractions here in Portugal, including the possibility of seeing dolphins along the beautiful, cave ridden, coast the Algarve has to offer.
We are very much looking forward to starting our remote cottage renovation in Ireland, and building a new kind of off grid life, hopefully we can navigate this quickly and soon be back o the emerald isle, and hopefully finally buy our new home!

Remote cottage update and why we are NOT looking in Portugal for property.
As most of you will know we recently purchased a remote cottage in Ireland and whilst we are waiting (desperately hoping) for it to go through, we drove our campervan down to southern Portugal to look at off grid homesteads we may be able to renovate as our winter escape.
However, we currently STILL don't have the cottage, 4 months after making the offer, and, we've not even began to look at off grid property in Portugal yet. This weeks video gives an update on why, and where we are with it all.

"This is my worst nightmare.." - The Van Life Tourist. (Van Life Europe)
This week our escape south for some winter sun really gets underway as we make it to the Algarve in Southern Portugal. We go to one of the busiest and biggest campsites in Albuferia, one of the Algarve's main tourist hotspots. After 4 years of wild camping this many vans all in one place is my worst nightmare, but it can't be that bad can it?

If you think you're life's boring.. look at it like this (it's probably quite beautiful)
We are very fortunate to live a great life, but, a life on the road is hectic. It's adventurous, fun, difficult, trying, beautiful, liberating, exciting, daunting, and yes, sometimes, it can be boring (usually all at the same time)
Normally we are encouraged (often by the pure volume of the content we consume on social media) that we should 'live every day like it's our last' and constantly pursue the exciting. But, what if just sometimes you want to be boring? Maybe you live a life where you chose to be? Maybe you just need to slow down, and even though reluctant to be perceived as 'boring', maybe this is when you realise that actually, a boring life can be... rather beautiful.

UNDERPREPARED for UNEXPECTED PORTUGAL! 🇵🇹 - First impressions of Van Life Portugal.
After our long drive road tripping across Europe, this week we finally make it to Portugal. With this trip being completely unplanned we didn't really know what to expect, but as we wild camp our way towards southern Portugal and the Algarve, we start to get a sense of what van life in central Portugal is like.
