Its a beautiful place and peaceful,away from the noise and lights of the cities!

[@josephineritter3120]

You need to be careful, you’re among natives!👍😂❤️❤️

[@kevinmountford4541]

Heat gun and scrapper, no chemicals needed. I was brought up in a council house and every four years the decorators in there white dungerees would come round and strip all the external paint. Then the foreman would come have a look and say" what colour do you want the door missus" the choices were red, green, blue or white. Windows were always white (crittle). Happy memorys.

[@sushilanayar4266]

you guys are my sanity - the one thing we can watch that is pure and inspiring - thanks

[@pulchralutetia]

It's like a real life Monarch of the Glen!

[@Harris70-70]

Loved the relaxing music played whilst Katie and the sheep were wandering over the shoreline 😊 Think the driftwood looked like a whales face at one end . Thanks for sharing The Scottish Isle with us , looking very beautiful as always .

[@allonesame6467]

That little lambie is growing up quick! Love all that you share. Keep On!

[@megmills4798]

Shauna is so cute like how she just came in like an owner❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dottiebaker6623]

Thanks for doing all the work it takes to post these videos. After a tough day, this one really cheered me up. I really appreciate being able to follow what going on on your island.

[@judymcgovern8454]

Hard work, but it will absolutely brilliant when finished. That was so funny Scott, “ proper renovation channel” then the drill bit dropped off 😂. Shona is growing quickly now but still likes to know where her mum is … so cute. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. The filming and editing can’t always be easy, especially on top the hard work of the renovation and the work you do on the island ❤

[@hughkilpatrick2905]

Love watching your progress - and Shona growing up!

[@michellestanley1588]

Sand blasting stone will bring back the colour

[@tessakhalil6686]

Awwww proper renovation channel then the drill bit falls out … I laughter as loud as Katie x what a delight you both are and well done xxx

[@lieuwina]

Another lovely video and I laughed when the drill attachment came off. Have a lovely day Katie and Scott.

[@theresalebleu3132]

You could make a door and distress it to make it look very old. I think both of you do a great job and it will absolutely beautiful, rustic and old

[@Barry_Russell]

Watched the 4K version tonight which is superb! Had to laugh at the soot pronounciation bit 😂 Katie is correct of course! 😁

[@hanneliewiese3477]

The room/lounge is going to look beautiful once you are done. Love how the sheep and cat wants to be near you guys.

[@pip-woollycwtches]

As an obsessed knitter, spinner etc. this episode speaks to my heart. Your lace is looking fab. Looking at the chimney. It looks like the rain is washing the soot back down as you were saying. If i win the lottery i will send you a team of craftsmen to help you get the cottage water/damp proof. But even with all the problems you’re having i think a lot of us would swap places with you. I know i would. The only thing i would struggle with is the midgies 😝

[@janetmcgowan4659]

In the right hand bottom corner of the driftwood there is a sheep's face. 🐑.. You could make a wee sign for their hoose.🏠

[@JulieCrawford-l8r]

You prounounce chuck just like soot! 😂 I love your videos. Relaxing and humorous!

[@pbjabq]

"A proper renovation channel~~~splat!" LOL, truly until the cats looked at me and rolled their eyes! 😂😂😂

[@nonecomformistme932]

Spiked boots are good on slippery stuff like your seaweed keep it real and natural thats why we love to tune in ❤😂

[@megmills4798]

I just love the peacefulness of your podcasts😊😊

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Good work , taking shape , so admire all you have done . Fascinating to watch ,& I love the history you tell us . Thankyou guys . 😘

[@darlafisher-odjignadeau2710]

I commend both of you for your unified decision-making and give and take respect for each others comments re job ideas it takes 2 to make it happen!✌😁😉

[@sonyagair1219]

Good day to the cutest couple out there. Hope you're doing well. See you in the next episode ❤

[@nancyraymond3381]

Hilarious today, Thank you!

[@iamshotty]

Another job ticked off the list! Shona has grown so much she's blending in with her siblings, little cuties! Thanks guys for another fab episode xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤🐑🐑🐑🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@christinehodge3608]

Interesting video, enjoyed this ,thank you for sharing,

[@DebStyles]

Got to say I just love your accent Katie.❤

[@tammyking3857]

Always makes my day to have another visit with yourselves and always makes me smile ( at 0028 ) to see the Grinch in the rug and wonder if you had noticed him there?!

[@Maeceea59]

Soak the hinges in very hot water overnight. The paint will wipe off in the morning. Did this with cabinet hinges in our old kitchen. Easy!

[@jeanieallison4899]

I think it’s great that you’ve not only removed the door, Katie but that you’ll also make it look very nice! Power to the ladies!👍🏻😄

[@irenefitzpatrick6480]

More and more interesting as we begin to visualise your restoration. ❤❤

[@catherinecooper2360]

Scott, Katie is right in her pronounciation of the word, soot and it's same sound as suit. Katie, couldn't you just use a 60 or 80 grit sandpaper on the door before the paint stripper? I do that to my old crummy wood pieces and it works pretty well. I test in a small corner with each grit to see which will cause less - if any- damage to the wood. It sure is messy, but I attach the sander to the wet/dry vac hose to keep the dust down. I end up with 220 grit to make a nice smooth finish just as I do after painting. Just a thought, not a criticism.

[@usiphysicalplant]

Now that is ah real woman right there, rare anymore Luv you.... Scottish weather is insane

[@lauraautry6992]

Always excited for the next vlog. The conversations can be so funny. Take care ❤️🤗

[@Maeceea59]

Long ago before impact drills, Star Drills were used to drill holes like that. 5 points. Put it in, hit itl then rotate, hitl and so on The hole quite often was not perfectly round. Were often used in mines.

[@Palmiped09]

Ah! the old rawplug tool

[@TerriFulton-Smith]

Place your painted hardware into a crock pot with water and allow it to cook. The paint will just fall away. Good luck!!

[@bruce7541]

Katie ,please wear eye protection when using the wire brush attachment,it’s not unknown for individual strands to fly off.

[@PMPatte]

I’ve soaked painted hardware in white vinegar overnight. It removes the paint better than paint stripper and doesn’t smell as bad.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you, I'll try that! Kx

[@maryfields1111]

Katie! Safety glasses please! ❤

[@sevcents]

Beautiful driftwood

[@FromThePrairies]

For stripping paint, try a heat gun and scrapper. Especially if it’s been painted multiple times. Often the paint will just peel up. No heat gun, try a hair dryer.

[@42apprentice]

A sugar soap scrub might remove most of the charcoal, and I believe baking soda is good too.

[@oldtrucker]

Soot is suit book is not buck look is not luck .I'm not native I'm Mancunian .You're a great double act love the show.

[@Beach_BCs]

Regarding pronouncing "soot", Katie is correct. :-)

[@susiemartin3144]

I think you need a young pair of Shetland ponies and a couple of highland cooos xx

[@georgiaturner8210]

Sandblasting will take care of the soot on the stonework

[@daverichardson5861]

Great vlog you two, funny built in, love it. I suspect with the ‘Hole in the Stone’ was for Robbie Burns to stand his parasol (LOL). keep making them. Stay well.

[@judymcgovern8454]

Looking forward to it ❤

[@djmoulton1558]

5:08 The Duck Dance would have made appropriate background music at this point. 15:11 If these old stones came out of a fireplace perhaps the hole was drilled to install a crane to hang the pot over the fire. Just a thought.

[@patriciacolie3895]

🤗 thank you!

[@Amurray212]

A pressure washer might take the soot off. I've seen others use that on worse stone . Ooft Scoots on one tonight 😂

[@clarebailey9803]

Can’t wait ❤

[@sharonmeier7688]

We say soot, up the chimney, your suit !!

[@amyfaith2350]

I'm in Texas and I say Soot just like she does. I lived in London, too. You want to talk funny talk? lol

[@paulaharris4667]

Enjoyed the video!❤️👍🏼

[@JanetteMackenzie-oe1gd]

Suit and soot are pronounced the same way.

[@suehillman7189]

Depends where you live, down here in Wiltshire they are totally different. Mind you it also depends on your education!😂😂😂

[@lindaevans5044]

Here in the midwest US about half of us say "soot", which is somewhere between, not exactly "suit", but definitely not "sot". More like "book". Also same with roof and root.

[@gloriacoffey4651]

Your speech is perfect 😊

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you!

[@megmills4798]

When you held wood if you flipped it it looked like a whale head😊

[@megmills4798]

Great job😊

[@karencrawford7796]

Please use safety glasses when you use the wire wheel. Little bits of wire fly off and can fly into your eyes.

[@deborahgallagher-vu5hl]

Chuck key is always attached to the cord.

[@Varko-okraV]

*except when they are not 😀

[@peem1244]

Paint stripper it is then. Katie, are you sure, absolutely sure, that Scott is of soot-able character for remote Scottish island living? I'd send him reet back...😉🧔👍✌

[@s2buk]

The drilled holes may have been put there so that very large pieces of stone could be moved with machinery or hand held tools.

[@davidwhite1864]

Soot is soot even if it sounds like sutt suit or soot. What made the video for me was when your tool fell off Scott or was it a tuil🤔Anyway you sorted that with your chuke🤣

[@linalindholm5623]

❤

[@sewmom17]

Your discussion of how to pronounce soot made me laugh! I say it like Katie - soot and foot are pronounced the same. I’m in the US.

[@susannoonan1]

Soot (long oo) like boo . Sorry she's correct. Used to teach elementary phonics.

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

❤❤❤

[@pulchralutetia]

Please, please choose a Gaelic name for the cabin. May I suggest something like 'Am Fasgadh' (the Shelter), 'An Cala' (the Haven/Harbour), 'Am Bothan' (the Hut/Shed/Bothy)? It's so much better to keep the ancient language of the Highlands alive! Mòran taing a charaidean!

[@aib0160]

Isn't the hole in the stone from when it were quarried?

[@jamesnorman5786]

Hi, could that be the blast hole in the stone from the quarry? Jim

[@skyeboatyboy]

You could hire a laser cleaner for the stone above the fire. Will totally remove all the soot stains etc

[@megmills4798]

Proper renovation channel oops😂

[@terrybull1043]

Steel Wire wheel for a grinder

[@LookingForLloyd]

Heat gun for the door?

[@Dermot40]

It’s SOOT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Not SOT. Watch out Scott, you might get your SOT jacket dirty.😀

[@rayrecrok]

Maybe a blow lamp for the paint? hot air gun?

[@LittleChena]

Will you insulate the floor?

[@TheScottishIsle]

Yes, we will. Kx

[@jonathanclarke9263]

Try WD40 with a toothbrush on your stone wall to remove your soot marks.

[@robint01]

Is there anything Wd40 can't do?!?

[@sidekickbob7227]

​@@robint01removing soot marks on stones...

[@crystalerdman3455]

She said it right! Sot in America means drunkard!

[@perryjones5500]

Put sockets higher up wall to keep them away from potentially damp areas. Surface mount socket boxes, can be removed later without leaving any witness marks. For aesthetics... Perhaps consider metal conduit rather than plastic. At the risk of enraging the YT libertarians.... Please involve a qualified Electrician...

[@jamesnorman5786]

Scot,don't get any of that soot on your butt , I mean boot.

[@euanwaugh2492]

It is most definitely ’fuːt’, ‘buːk’ and ‘suːt’. (fore, long oo) 😂. I have to cope with hearing a cupboard become a ‘cooboard’. 🫣

[@CindyMccomb-fz7kp]

[@RadioMan666]
