This week winter shows it's face at our cottage in Ireland. We are keen to carry on with the renovation of the old stone house, but, there's some planning and measuring to do first, as we prepare to finish building our timber cabin AND get ready to work on the house roof.
Good job we had some much welcome help from our friends @phillyandkeely meaning we could get on with the tricky curved roof on the old hay barn.

Of course, we are never alone on the land, there's always wildlife milling around to keep us company, and is it time for the return of our rat residents...

Hopefully you are enjoying this renovation series as much as we are, and we are managing to show you just some of the trials, tribulations, and work, involved when restoring an old traditional cottage AND building an off grid cabin to live in whilst we do!
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, including the local wildlife and nature mixed with our usual female foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!

Check out our older videos and follow our us journey attempting to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempted to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home with our dog and cat.
