Well this week our abandoned farm house in Ireland really does go fully off grid, as we lose power for over 2 weeks.. and counting!
Here at our traditional Irish cottage, we are STILL recovering from the storm, with damage to still to be sorted.. not easy without power.
The old barn, that we built our cabin under, is getting more dangerous with every puff of wind, so the demolition of that continues. We attemp to find the last generator in Ireland, embrace some off grid cooking round the fire, and there's some pretty beautiful Irish scenery in this one folks!

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.
