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!

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 property.
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!
Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempt to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home.

Love your vlogs. Have you seen a channel called Sean’s world. It’s a guy in France restoring an old stone cottage. I think a lot of what he has done you will need to also. He’s dealt with crumbling walls and more. Hope this is helpful.
I now get to watch your videos twice….my folks are now hooked and filled with admiration, so I watch with them, then have to rewatch to see the bits I miss when they ask questions or discuss how amazing you both are 😊 looking forward to seeing your progress!💪🏽
Superb video. The fence pole tossing sequence was poetry in motion. When I watch your heroic struggles I keep thinking of our local DIY stores offer of 2 for the price of one on matt emulsion 5 litre cans🤣.
Awesome Vvlog guys… and well done Summer looking good, testing the window sills for an afternoon nap, oh and Happy Birthday Em, hope that lou didn't work you to hard on your birthday…. love watching this reno.. thank you for sharing….. I am all the way in Adelaide Australia and get your Vvlogs every Monday… take care love you guys and AJ and Summer
You should get a wheel barrow to help carry those big rocks, keep up the good work
Happy Birthday Emily 🥳🥂😁 no partying for you just hard yakka! 😜 Loving that you are doing such a great job even though there are challenges 👍💪 💜💜😸🐶
Im renovating a 200 y.o house, and every room is liking opening pandoras box 😅 Ive cried a lot….ive hysterically laughed a lot due to going mental with stress. One step at a time and at least you have the van as an oasis! You guys got this!! Cheering you on from Tennessee 🎉❤
You may have to remove the wall and rebuild it.
Happy Birthday lil one.. Clearing out and rebuilding a house is a big undertaking.. You got this.. YOU GOT THIS..
Did you not get an engineer report before buying?
I hope you can repair the walls.
are you guys couples
Happy birthday Emily loving watching you doing the renovations aj and summer loving there space
Why open a can of worms and make work for yourselves?
It pains me to watch you work so hard, then NOT HAVE a WHEELBARROW to haul things away! 😊
Happy (belated now) Birthday Emily! ❤🎉
Thank you. You guys are an inspiration. We bought a place in south west Scotland last December. Lots to do here too. You’d be very welcome to stay if you’re ever in the area. (Or at least pop in for a cuppa)!
Keep up the good work.
Maybe someone already mentioned it, old cottage natural walls are wider at the bottom and get more narrow towards the top.
Cupboards will never be flush to the walls, such a pain 😂 but it should be on both sides, not leaning!
You should put a Gopro on Summer, would be fun to see her explorations! 😊
Happy Belated Birthday, Emily! Looks like you had a very productive day. I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos. There’s nothing that you two can’t do! 🥰💐
You could use the old tyre as a planter, seen a few in some garden centres…
Pure Joy❣️
Beautiful footage of Summer…and as always, Thank You♥️
Brilliant video. Your both working so hard and its all paying off especially for AJ and Summer x
I just wanted u two know how much joy and happiness you bring to my life. I lost my partner over a year ago. He left suddenly and I have grieved a full year today. Please keep being awesome in a world where sometimes people can be so cruel and unacceptable of people with different lifestyle choices. I love how much you two love each other and help each other grow. Thanks for being yous and I look forward to more videos. ❤😊❤
So wonderful to see Summer out and about…doing what cats do best – inspect and check lol. Exciting!
Just thinking about your walls….if you originally had a thatched roof then it’s likely the weight of the slate roof has pushed the walls outwards. The rafters should’ve been joined from wall to wall to create a triangle, that would prevent the walls from spreading, if that’d been done your ceiling wouldn’t need to be suspended.
Emily, you need a goat for that green.
Get 'Soresto' collars for the pets, honestly 8-12 months protection, no flea problem since using, I live by fields and ticks drop off dead. Unfortunately they don't chose where they drop off, the only downside. Cracking vid as ever
Bulldozer!
I now have an eSIM thanks to you for the UK. There are areas that Three doesn’t work reliably. I’m hoping this will allow me to get data when travelling to places such as Oxford and Swindon. Fingers crossed.
