Can’t agree more !! Best one out there❤

[@emmas1490]

So many things to love about this video. 1. Seeing Gary 2. The laughter and fun you both have with each other whilst doing this tough work 3. The blonde bob (my favourite yet) 4. The fact you are putting out videos and doing all of this renovating at the same time - epic! 5. Craig’s hair clips

[@bonniepelletier9990]

Yeah!! Love tagging along with all you two get up to! Thanks to Gary for giving us all an update. Nothing but positive energy to you all.

Ah thank you so much! love the positive energy!

You need to get Eamon out there. He’ll have you sorted in 2 weeks 🤣

Eamon would but he’s got an important role taking care of Bec and Frankie.

10 days ago we were travelling through Scotland and we passed your home and we saw custard the bus parked up. I was going to message and offer some help as my husband is a builder and we had a free day but I didn’t want to seem like a crazy stalker. Now seeing this video I wished we had offered the help as you’ve got a lot to do. I can’t wait to see the future videos and see the progress. So happy to see Gary is doing well ❤

[@janeconnors1807]

When you repoint the stone make sure you use lime render. It breathes. Cement will cause damp. Happy building

[@Ray-pt5bi]

I totally get It!! I would have hesitated as well. Maybe you could have offered, saying you are totally understanding if they don't want to, and actually hesitate to even ask❤ I Hope they get some.help.cus they Need It! 😂

[@carolineindacityphx]

Hearing from Gary makes everything better. So glad to see he is going well 🥰 But onwards to renovations. I love how you both are up for renovating your home on your own and it gives me confidence to attack any DIY renovations.

[@amyjarman19]

Aimee chatting away in the coop then Craig filming her cracked me up so much 😂 loving your journey guys. I would have given up within two mins, you’re smashing it!

So glad to hear Gray is doing well! Kudos for wearing PPE 👏 this episode!!!

[@cathyg1891]

Have you thought about creating a wildlife pond? It’s the best way to get so much wildlife into your garden. It was a common lizard you found ❤

[@annekamorgan7471]

If you get a chance you should metal detect your new land you might find some treasures! Love watching your videos you guys never fail to make me smile 😊

[@mbeaumont8499]

You could get Living the Skye Life as Willie is a serious metal detector.

[@tommcintyre5608]

Create a loading area for the skip at the bottom of the driveway and load it with the small truck. Get a good cover for the skip so material doesn’t blow away. Fill the skip every week or more when needed.

[@mott2945]

Very very expensive to hire skips though Tommy mate

[@Apocalypticthoughts]

If a skip is a dumpster. Here in United States, i paid for a big one that was picked up 2x for about 800.00.

[@CherrieMcKenzie]

I could NOT stop laughing as you were trying to kick down the post when all you had to do was pull it up and then I hear: "Maybe we are as stupid as we look" No, not stupid just don't know what you don't know. You two are great!! 🤣😂

[@joanschrader5098]

Thank you for the Gary update! ❤ In the USA we call the tool that you call a "strimmer" a weed eater, but from now on, it will always be referred to a strimmer, I love it!! I do not pretend to know much about reno's, but as far as the garbage goes, you need to get a big dumpster. Recycle, repurpose and reuse what you can, but throw the rest in a big dumpster. Stacking it up in the barn is just making another chore for another day. Animals will get in there and make a bigger mess to clean up later. There is my 2 cents, love the 🏠!

[@pattdunn9845]

Just make it a priority to get the skiff today! Have it at the base of the road and load the truck up and drive it down the hill, and IT'S GONE, FOREVER!

[@heatherrowles9930]

In Australia its known as a whipper snipper.......

[@nicolad8822]

You can’t just get one and let it sit there for weeks. They bring em, you fill them, they take them away within a few days.

[@nickydavis893]

We also call it a weed eater here in South Africa!

[@marthagaluszka8888]

We're doing a double garage clean out because we have a flooded basement every time it rains, but the pros who will come in to fix that problem won't come until we get the basement totally cleaned out and the paneling and ceiling ripped out.... but whatever is salvageable from the basement has to go into the garage. We've filled the dumpster once and had it hauled out. The fee is for delivering it and then taking it away, no extra for the time we have it and it's been a month at least. We're in our 70's and only have our yard man to help occasionally so it's slow going. I can't wait to take a crowbar to the paneling. Kudos to you two for the massive job you've taken on.

[@GilbertManse]

Love your banter in the garden.. reminiscent of me and my gorgeous wife working in our garden! Good Bants makes the job go quicker!!

[@bronwynclissold9746]

Don’t chuck the insulation panels ! There expensive + don’t go “off” because they don’t get damp ! Love you guys ❤️

❤ just to return of the favor of a laugh: the lawn tool you were using to cut down the tall grass is called a "weed wacker" in America

Look out for bits of crockery, belt/shoe buckles, coins and the likes when you ‘excavate’😊 we found loads of the stuff when we were building our cottage. We’ve kept it all in a basket. 🥀🌾🌼🌷🌻

[@susandibble3525]

Keep those pipes they make tunnels for your plants to keep critters off them. If you don’t you’ll have to buy more 😉

[@makingitthrough190]

This is a lot of fun to watch! We also moved to Scotland quite recently and are loving it. I will add that: what seems like very hard work right now will soon get easier as you get “work hardened”! You’ll be amazed at the difference.

Custer is coming in handy as you rebuild your house. Custer is a big help as it is pacing yourselves( it a big job), a place to rest and get something to eat.

You two always make me smile, loving watching the reno. Also, I think that may have been a Lazarus Lizard? Shockingly, we have them here in Cincinnati, Ohio because someone brought them over! Love em!

[@DonnyMusto]

The place where you’re ripping down the chicken coop and all is probably a perfect place for a garden. If you decided to do one, you could do a quick one if you have to the ground just needs to be turned a little because all those chickens all those years makes great soil. Buy a few tomato plants and other plants that are already started this way it’ll come quicker.

[@christineoates770]

So glad to see Gary's smiling face! Glad he's coming along ❣ You reno is moving along well too! How exciting once everything is done and fresh, you'll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour💖 Just wondering if you do have bin rentals in Scotland? Think I'd order one sooner than later. You don't want to be handling the rubbish 2 to 3 times. Plus, you'll be overwhelmed by all of it in the end. Also, if you get rid of the rubbish as you go, you'll see more improvements quicker! It will be more satisfying and your space will be more enjoyable! I'm sure you've already thought of these things, but as you know, renos can be quite stressful! 😳 Love your videos and your great sense of humour❤❤ Love, love, love you guys💖

I am so proud of you guys. It made me smile that you're wearing safety gear. We only mention it because we care and want the best for you guys. ❤ You can get a mixed skip for different debris.
