Hi, I do a lot of hillwalking and can confirm the country is full of these derelict cottages. The history of Ireland is in these cottages from famine times to 1950s. Mass immigration and poverty led to their abandonment when the last of the families either died or immigrated. Unfortunately, it's a sad history. It doesn't surprise me that locals are helping as they understand the history of the land and are probably overjoyed to see a cottage being renovated for family living again. Thank you for respecting the history of this cottage and taking on the renovation and preserving it for years to come. Such renovation requires courage and hard graft. Well done to you and enjoy your home.

Holy Moly, what a wonderful life you lead as a family! It’s a hard one, but just wait til you’re all set up, sitting with a glass of wine in front of the fireplace. This renovation is truly what the houses are needing to bring some life back into them. My ancestors left their homes to immigrate to Canada because of poverty, so I’ve seen how devastating it was for the ones who came before you, and appreciate so much that you’re breaking your backs to bring back the glory times, and capture the house’s history. Be well!❤

With each of our children we helped in getting old houses that need a good renovation, cheaper the better as we had to invest in matériels, we did everything except the electrics. I never wanted any of them to be renters as to my mind that is dead money. We all worked as a family on every project. From the damp courses to the roofing. Back to bare bricks then cement then plastering. Retaining their age, bringing back each first home to the era that it was built in. This ensured a great reselling price for their next larger homes. I look back and think, how did we manage all of that?! It was hard work yet still fun. 😄👍

My Nan is from West Cork, Amazing job I worked as a formwork carpenter in Dublin for 15 years. For first timers your concrete work was pretty damn good. Clare looked like a natural concrete finisher. Tip Buy a couple of fiber glass floats to help with concreting. Typically the float is used before the steel trowel, it helps level the concrete and bring a layer of "fat" to the top to make it easier to trowel. Troweling is an art in itself, worked correctly you can get it as smooth and shiny. Mainly for exposed concrete.
@WestCorkWander

How wonderful to have the connection to West Cork! Yes lots to be learnt from the concreting. Sometimes I think down the line I might do that again, however to be honest im not sure anything will be redone, the imperfections tell our story 😊

A few of my ancestors immigrated to Australia in 1850, one or two not by choice 😢but they survived and flourished luckily for me😅 there have been stories passed down through the generations and no doubt embellished with Irish humour. I think that humour has been a corner stone to all the hardships Australians suffered and is a part of our culture today.

Some of my ancestors were from not too far away a long way back - 1700s.

We took down areas our engineer reported as derelict and unsound and we actually lowered our footprint. We're happy overall with the balance 👍

You were kidding around about the PPE when taking down the asbestos roof, but its a lot better than battling Mesothelioma like I did.

That's a lot of work to achieve in a year. I hope you don't get problems with the floors cracking. The insulation should be laid on a level solid surface, like a solid concrete base it may sink into the rubble. The concrete floors should be re-inforced with steel to prevent cracking, particularly with the lack of a primary concrete base.

You and me both! Floor is a test, if we're not happy we'll remove or recover. We have a few cracks as expected but we're still happy with it. The insulation is a structural with 2mm aluminium on both sides so we're pretty hopeful the rubble holds it up... Again 🤞🤞
