A huge DIY family project!
It has been a long term dream to do something special with 14 acres of land in the Gleno valley. Lockdown offered us the chance to do something different… and we took it!
Myself and Niall moved back in October 2020 to the family home an began into an epic DIY project right through the lockdown winter.
