My two brain cells couldn't come up with a good title for this video but I felt chopping part of the roof off warranted the 'extreme' descriptor so I hope that's suitable to all of you. Hope you all enjoyed this little update!

[@DawnOldham]

It was interesting to hear that another "cottage industry" has begun in Scotland. I'd never heard of the little cabins being built like that! And moisture behind walls in Florida would mean black mold, so count your blessings that you have the snow and icy weather that must kill it off! (But I know it's no fun to find ANYTHING behind your walls. Other than a stack of money, that is.) 😂

[@GaiaCarney]

George, @Patchy - is the dark stuff on your walls & framing black mold? It looks like the stuff I have in parts of my attic and I’m wondering if I should be more proactive in dealing with it . . .

[@gracefulkimberella]

Hallway undampening? Or hello hallway, goodbye moisture! Increasing sunlight & dehydrating hallway

[@Charmaine-rv9xr]

Woah there, a dramatic reenactment should have had a bit more of a warning- I wasn’t prepared at all 😅 The plastic window frames are PVC- I have some too👍 But best of all was the “foosty” window 😂 I’m in Australia and hubby is Scottish and I love hearing that word!! 😂🥰😜

[@rhondaloveloveloves9551]

George, the recreation of the window removal was Oscar worthy. Lol🌻I love your sense of humor.

[@oboemoboe]

I was so incredibly moving. Lol.

[@idemstudios]

I've been watching your videos from the original one on your tiny house, and I still can not comprehend the effect they have on me. The music, your voice, the slow editing... everything just works to relax my nervous system. Can not thank you enough for that 🌷🌷

[@Patchy]

Well that's a lovely comment thank you very much. 😸

[@Melissa-sy9lk]

The dramatic recreation part at the very beginning had me hooked till the end. Great job on the new window placements.

[@Patchy]

I'm glad to hear my acting abilities are so captivating

[@318ishonk]

Very extreme, dramatic and tingeling with suspense.👍 These "surprises" like damp walls, damaged wood - or even better: rotten structural beams - really keep me off from buying some old house, especially in humid Scotland.

[@1nnu3ndo]

I choked up a bit during that dramatic recreation. So impactful, both practically and emotionally.

[@kevinm-py1nt]

Wow! First the dramatic recreation of pulling out the old windows and then the super dangerous standing on a paint can stunt!

[@janetmackinnon3411]

First time I've heard ''foosty'' on KZbin, but it's exactly the right word.

[@Patchy]

😎

[@bonniepwtf]

More light is always a plus to me.👍 Those guys are such conscientious workers, happy you found them. To pod or not to pod- that is the question.🤗

[@Patchy]

It is indeed, and they are indeed. I'd say, to pod.

[@patricialuna3016]

I had to watch the Chris part twice - love that accent ! Thanks, George, for including us in the renovations. Looking good !

Always love your videos, George. They're short and sweet and funny, as well as keeping us updated with your renos. Win-Win! ♥♥♥

[@karendurston2528]

Well done. The light coming in makes a huge difference.

[@oliviakrause3336]

I would totally read a smut story about these working men with a thick Scottish accent. I'm excited to see how this part of the renovation turns out later on. Hopefully, you can resolve the dampness issue.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Well done on the double glazed windows! 👏🏽

[@Patchy]

🕺

[@Keyn34]

George, you are my favorite KZbinr right now. It has been years since I have looked forward to new videos from content creators in my abo-box. It always makes me so happy to see your videos pop up. Thanks for supplying us with your mini-documentaries about your renovation progress. All the best from Austria

[@WhiteMisty]

I like the fact you use trade professionals for the work. Coming from Australia people doing building/plumbing/electrical etc have to study for 3 years + to become certified. It is to ensure better quality works. Even with this you still can get shoddy labour. When I see content creators doing the full renovation without the help of professional tradespeople I do shudder - despite enjoying watching people fix up their homes learning and doing all the work. I like the pace and format style of your content.

[@bluemoyie8618]

Lovely to hear your voice again, Patchy, and see this progress. Your brain cells are magnificent ! I love the sky lights, the more natural light, the better the home. If only I had done this to my south facing roof when I began renovating, it would improve the esthetics of the entire home. It's been said that you should plan to build (reno) two houses, because you learn so much from the first. Take special care of yourself, and I'll be looking forward to your next istallment. ,':*} Hugs from BC, Canada

Thank you very much 🎭

We stayed in a wee pod in Yorkshire many years ago and it was amazing, I was surprised how cozy and warm it was! Highly recommend, would be a nice fun video to see you (and maybe Joonya as some let pets) staying in one.

Aw glad it was good and very much appreciate that recommendation. I hadn't ever considered the opportunities of a Tiny House Tour x Junior collab.

Great video George! If I can make a suggestion, the water from the dehumidifier, empty it outside if you can so it can benefit the environment. Once it goes down the drain, it is essentially lost.

Omg. This is what we al been waiting for the double glazing at that location. Finally now i can live again.

Foosty & sook, great words!

[@rowein8775]

Oh. Holiday pod tour. Yes please.

[@jj-if6it]

Love the idea of a holiday pod on a small patch of land

[@peadar-o]

Swell to see this project being handled so thorough, and with proper materials too. It seems that some previous work was done by ‘cowboys’ or the previous owner(s) did work on the cheap.

[@eveb446]

George: making your lovely home more energy efficient is great. You will save money on heating and cooling etc. Great way to go!

[@msantello1]

Good you are redoing all the water damaged walls. Mold toxicity is very real and can lead to many health issues. Mold is hard to fully eliminate it once it is established, but its worth the effort for your own health's sake.

[@jj-if6it]

Love hearing you say "Aye" and becoming more Scottish when talking to a fellow Scotsman

[@PokhrajRoy.]

8:01 I look forward to this one

[@Patchy]

It's a good process

[@MotoSaunter]

My wife and I stayed at what we thought of as a cabin, but sounds like one of your pods, on Skye a couple springs ago. The owners had placed it behind their mail house as a holiday rental. It was very cozy and a welcome alternative to a hotel.

[@magn630]

See you are channeling your dad with that paint-can ladder substitute to reach the window - 👍👍

[@heathertebb645]

So great to see the progess in the other rooms! And see you bringing this building to somewhere (if you would let me!) I would love to live! However, I am sure you and junior (and your new feline friend) will be very happy!Hx

[@happydays7143]

Love how they just "cut a new window " 😂. Skilled !! 👍

[@lindaroyal8161]

Very good, starting at the top and working down. Roof and windows, done - check! Now the more fun stuff of renovations, room by room - look firward to them. You're very fortunate that you have excellent contractors that do such quality work. Good for them they're building Tiny Houses, love them! Nice video, as all your's are! Love the window reinactment.

[@karendurston2528]

I agree with the comment below about how calming these videos are.

[@RestoringNumberFour]

Extremely satisfied with the hall and skylight 🙌🧡

[@mai_world]

George, you crack me up! The dramatic reenactment was a nail biter. 😆😅😂😄

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

No doubt, you embodied the roofbuilder authentically! 😂❤

[@jeremy1350]

Hi George and Junior !! Well Mr. Sean Paul and his team hit the mark once again !! The windows look really nice. The house is coming along nicely, me thinks !! Yes, I think your tours of tiny houses and the Holiday Pods would get lots of traffic. I enjoyed watching the ones you've done so far. Between You, Scotland Unplugged (Robert) and The Hoof GP (Graeme, He helped rescue the loneliest Sheep off that cliff) I get a nice amount of Scotland education. Oh, actually, Robert over at Scotland Unplugged, went to the place you took your mum, with the stone fortress (with the glass doors) overlooking the water falls (I can't remember the name of it just now), I commented to him, that you had just been there not long ago.

[@cecillec2331]

Ha..ha...you always manage to throw in a comment here and there that make me chuckle, George. SeanPaul and Chris seem to do really good work. I remember the horror of having my home constructed from the ground up. The workers were not anywhere near these two's diligence/work ethic. For example, during the final tour of the house before we signed the papers stating everything were done satisfactorily, I felt a bump on the carpet which I demanded be inspected/corrected. It turned out to be a pile of trash they simply covered with the carpet. I also hired someone to check the roof tiles since I could not climb the roof myself, and found many broken roof tiles they were just going to leave me with. Now in my senior years, I wish I lived in a tiny house.

[@ElBeeEss]

Foosty, sook and gammy: LOOOL! I'm a Scot living in England; haven't heard that word in years. You don't realise how much you miss Scottish words. Like the three you used... as well as oose, oxter and many more!

[@jj-if6it]

We use sook in Australia too, and occasionally gammy!

[@NAWYILNO]

Love the content as always mate. The way you removed the window and placed it was “extreme” and had you not said, I would have believed it was done live right there and then. Hope the wee cat is good too ❤

[@GenesisOne-nb4hw]

Yes!!!.....😆😆...missed you last Sunday 😩.... How are you & Jr. !?!

[@joseperez-ig5yu]

Hey George, I like the ease in which your windows were installed. I guess if you have skilled craftsmen doing the work it makes it go so much smoother. Keep uploading more YT content so we can see what you're up to!🎉😊😊

[@laurapaolino212]

Hi Patchy!!! It's nice to listen to your soothing voice in this project ❤

[@jodi4384]

Thank you for the drama warning at the beginning of the video. I was able to brace myself and get through the removal of the skylight.

[@ViktorSarge]

Awesome as always. Sorry to hear there's a moisture problem, but hopefully a few videos of the process to fixing it can offset the costs.

Cheers Viktor! Ah, it's all part of the puzzle!

I would have chucked a few extra windows in the hall and bathroom. You can never get enough light! Good luck with the bedroom replastering

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I'm going to guess that with the stone walls in a shaded area, the only cure is foam insulation to keep the inner walls dry. Dehumidifier water is good for plants,and even Junior. No minerals, or chemicals at all. Cheers George.

Old houses are indeed, money pits. My house was derelict, when I found it, but as it was built in 1861 (old for Indiana), I took pity on it.

[@carliem9494]

Velux windows used to come with a pole to open and close (similar to loft ladders), perhaps one of those might be useful? Personally - and I know it’s overkill where the window is placed ...... however - I’d still have gone for a powered open/close mechanism. But then I’m not a very tall person and anything to make things easier and less dangerous to operate 😆

You have way more than two brain cells, George. You’re selling yourself short! I enjoy your vlogs so much and wish I was living in Scotland again. Many years ago 1975 til 1978 I lived there as a brand new bride and the wife of a US Marine. My former husband was stationed in Edzell at the time. I’ll never forget the beauty of the Scottish countryside and how peaceful it was there. Had my first baby in Montrose in 1977. I wish I could take her back to the land of her birth.

[@Patchy]

I appreciate your faith in my brain cells. I must admit, I'd never heard of Edzell until your comment so you've taught me something new today. On the revisiting, you should!

[@pattybishop8016]

@@Patchy look up RAF Edzell. It was a small Navy base. The purpose of the base was to spy on the Russian submarines that were in the North sea. Once the Cold War ended the base closed down. Since that time, the towns of Brechin and Montrose have deteriorated greatly…makes me sad to see that. So many of us Americans that lived near Edzell loved the three years they had there and many have gone back to revisit.

[@judylapointe3507]

[@streaming5332]

🎉Double glazing because Scotland is so bleeding cold. I don't think double glazing exists in Australia. But blinds over skylights are common because the strong light from the brilliant blue sky is blinding.

[@haggielady]

George, I must say you're slacking in the posting department. Once a month is not enough, at least for me. Possibly others too. I think taking Junior to a pod tiny house would be nice. We would get Junior, a pod and views of the countryside in one go. Hopefully one of them will have a pet friendly policy and would love free ads to 247k people. Your reenactment of the window scene was Oscar or Bafta worthy. I didn't know you were an actor. Give Junior a pat for me.
