Join us on a fascinating journey back in time with Peter and Cathy at the Woodland Escape as we tackle the construction of the top floor walls on our historical 1700s blockhouse. In this episode, not only will we guide you through the meticulous process of preserving history through architecture, but we’ll also delve deep into Ireland’s rich heritage, exploring how the Emerald Isle turned to turf as a vital source of fuel for surviving cold winters and cooking throughout the centuries.

This video is not just a construction diary; it's a homage to the past, a hands-on history lesson, and a testament to the enduring spirit of pioneering. Whether you're a history buff, a woodworking enthusiast, or someone who cherishes the art of building and storytelling, this video offers insights into the challenges of traditional construction methods, the importance of community support, and the lessons history can teach us about resilience and innovation.We're passionate about sharing our adventures and a slice of history with you.
