What is fly tipping, please? 😊

[@dannytorrance9555]

I hope you reconsider the skylight idea, I have a pitched roof as well, and had a similar notion to bring in more light. The following winter I discovered that the cold and ice played hell with the window seals after a winter of troublesome leaks, the next spring found out the water damage meant the trusses had to be replaced and a new roof put on. $30,000 later, I wish I had just bought LED lights. Good luck with the new workspace!

@@StarSystemAndromeda Fly tipping is when you dump rubbish ( trash) illegally, usually somewhere in the countryside.

[@StarSystemAndromeda]

@@janblackwellart Thank you for the explanation! Unfortunately, that seems prevalent no matter where you live in America also. We call it “dumping”. Best wishes! ✨✨✨

[@wingolamo]

I just wanted to stop in and tell you how much my mother and I enjoy this new channel of yours! We are both makers, and we love anything to do with treasure hunting, upcycling, assemblage, or repurposing found objects, so your mudlarking channel has been a favorite of ours for a while now. But we also have a keen interest in home improvement, gardening, sustainable practices, animals and nature, and of course, your beautiful Scotland, (we live in Florida) and so we were thrilled when you started this channel! We really enjoy sharing in your adventures as you settle into your magical Scottish homestead, and we love how you work so well together! You somehow manage to make even the most mundane projects look enjoyable, and we've thoroughly enjoyed every single video, from the assembly of the peackock shelter and the changing of the tire, to the hatching of the schwoos and the cultivation of your amazing wildflower patch. (and we can't wait to see the wysteria over your door come into bloom!) You're living the life most of us dream of, but for one reason or another, haven't been able to achieve, so we turn to channels like this for inspiration and motivation. So,thank you for taking us along for the ride and letting us live vicariously through you! You're both just lovely, and we are rooting for you every step of the way! P.S. I just watched your video about the felled horse chestnut tree, and heard you mention something about the two feuding families that once lived on the bordering properties. My maternal grandfather was an Armstrong, and we've traced his lineage back to Scotland. So, who knows? It may have been my ancestors who once lived on that property! 🙂

[@bethsands7665]

Yay for re-discovered wood floor beauty. As a child, I always heard the ghosts at night walk on a wooden floor even though the floors were carpeted( over wooden floors ) . !! I grew up in a haunted house , ...but grew to appreciate a complex world in the here and now. Have you ever experienced hauntings from the past ??

I vote for sanding the floor and polyurethaning it. It would be gorgeous

[@lisablythe4016]

I agree 100%! You can get chair pads to keep things from falling through the cracks. I wouldn't refinish the French style desk either. You can't get that anymore. Also, save the rollers from the cabinet you took apart and use the pieces for shelves.

[@FlippinLids]

Do you have access to a table saw because you could cut your slats from bed frame and from desk you dismantled to create more shelves to store your crafting stuffs. just a suggestion really but repurposing is what you do isn't it 😊 also with mirror you could use it as backing for your shelves so you can locate items on back of shelves when hunting for that perfect piece. frame mirror and then attach it on back!

Hello ladies! I'm dying to tell you my secret for getting things done - which my kids think is hilarious but it works for me. I'm a senior now so as you can guess I have a few aches and pains. When I need to get busy I don my "supersuit" which consists of overalls ,gloves, ugly shoes and most importantly, knee pads . You will be surprised how much more you can do because you will get on your knees more (rather than bending) and your grip is much better with gloves! I look pretty funny but it really works mentally as well to get you more prepared to do the dirty work. Just felt like passing this along because my supersuit is really super haha!

Although you are doing what we have all done in the past and forgotten about, watching this video has a lovely homely feel about it. The music clearly helps with that feeling, but more than that it's your relationship with each other that makes the mundane so very special.

[@randallsherryadams5040]

Send your council the receipt for the new wheel and tyre, along with a pic of the pothole. They’ll pay.

[@Objective-Observer]

The first thing I noticed was the lack of light, and upright wall space. I would suggest 'tract' lighting with moveable light heads, so you can always have a light directly above you. That roof line is too shallow to get into it to run electrical wires for lights. The tract lighting system is a long 'tube' so the wire can be connected from a wall. The actual light heads can be on a Goose Neck support, so they bend any direction you want. That would be the least expensive, labor wise, for getting light into that room. IF you have that style of light fixture on that side of the pond. The Main Light fixture, again, I would opt for a multi bulb round modern chandlier style fixture; the more light bulbs you have in that room, the better the light. Talk with paint expert for options that will reflect the most light around that room. Bright white in a high gloss comes to mind, but with this plaster, that can affect what you put on that surface. Tables/ work surfaces need to be on the long 'half wall,' with the tract light above. That will give you plenty of space for many different types of projects and work spaces. Look at garage tool storage ideas that hang on the walls, to utilize the space on the wall above the tables... that will help keep the table tops uncluttered. The corner of the shorter half wall is way too dark for working. THAT is where you store supplies and where I would put your repurposed shelving from the bed. Again a tract lighting system on that slanted roof with goose necks light bulb heads to direct the light where you need it. Tall Storage on the wall across from the window. Alex, my humblest aplogies, but you do NOT want a work space under that window. That puts light IN your face and makes it harder for your eyes to focus ON the project in front of you, because that project would be in shadow. Ask me how I know this...lol. I would reupholster that that two seat couch and put THAT under the window. That will give you a place to sit and inspect your work under natural light, because the light will come from behind you. You can also put your knees on the couch and look out the window. You need a comfy place to sit for breaks, afternoon tea in the work room, to help keep your brain fresh and rest your hands, shoulders, neck, arms and back. The French Desk, I would put that in front of the two seat couch as an Inspection, planning and Sketching Area, and place for afternoon tea. This will give you a very comfy and stylish seating area that will catch the eye when you enter the room. The utilitarian purposes of the room of the room, are to the sides almost out of sight. The floor I would sand it down and put a natural oil finish on it. I would add a cheap, solid color room rug under the work table to catch the pieces that fall, and protect the floor. The Gaming chair- just sell it. It can be readjusted to sit up straight, and if you find it comfortable; make a chair slip cover to hide the racing theme. Thank you, ladies for sharing your journey with us.

[@noraleestone2859]

I agree with everything you described. There's no substitute for life experience, eh? 🤣🤣 If the loveseat is too low, leg extenders could be added to raise it. Also, it can be surprising how much a thorough vacuuming and upholstery shampooing can renew an old piece of furniture. 😁 Best of luck, Gail & Alex. I'm sending you tons of energy and intestinal fortitude through the ether. 😂😍😘🤗💖👍👋

[@Objective-Observer]

@@noraleestone2859 Thank you for the kind words. It's been my experience, if you are ready to throw something in the trash; you must strip it and completely change the look. Otherwise, you wil always doubt you choice to keep it. And it might be cheaper, to simply replace that piece. I would still put a comfy seating and the desk in front of the window. I come from a family of tradesmen in the US. My grandfather was a carpenter; his brother was a plumber. My spouse studied carpentry, and their father was an electrician. Consequentially, I've learned from many people's experience. Well, and my own hand work business.

I would love to see a wood floor refinish but I think you ladies are right about linoleum, it would be much easier to keep clean with all of your craft projects. I am an artist and I am constantly making messes! Paint, fabric, wood working, mosaics, pottery, murals,…. Plus I build furniture. I would choose tiled/linoleum floors as well.

I love the wood floor so much. So happy this is under the carpet. I second the suggestion to sand and varnish - if not too much trouble. Sanding can be difficult and time consuming. If you decide, I hope the sanded/varnished wood floors are worth the effort

[@toniahampton207]

OK girls you can always tell me just to quit sending you messages but I would suggest electrical bar running along two or three walls is cheaper than outlets. That way you can move and grow as you change in your craft room. It's like a metal bar that runs the length of the wall and every 12 to 20 inches is an outlet.

[@jaydee5022]

When I was a child we lived in Uganda and when we went on holiday or any long cross country journey, if we got stuck in the middle of nowhere a man always seemed to appear out of nowhere and help change a tyre or pump one up. They always checked the air pressure by kicking the tyre and when we finally got to a garage and checked they were always spot on.

That room will be brilliant ladies! Cats are always so dramatic 😂

[@Purplesuiter]

Kick the tires only for dual wheel setups, like trucks. If one has air and the other is low you may not see it, so you kick them and compare the bounce, so to speak.

[@vickinoeske1154]

When I got my first car of my very own, a 1978 red MGB convertible, my dad taught me how to change a tire, check and add oil and add air to the tires. I promise you that I couldn't change a tire today.😅🤣😂 You ladies are unstoppable!🛑

[@faydreamsmystic4]

My Dad, a mechanic, used to kick the tires to test for a few things actually. One if the lug nuts were tight enough. If not the tired would move a bit. Two if the tire was inflated enough. If it gave under the pressure of your foot then it needed air. Low air pressure could cause a few problems if left for too long. And three, to make sure the tires were in good shape. You'd be surprised how many times the tires look good but a little kick reveals that it is in fact rotted. Most guys have seen their mechanic do that and don't really know why they are doing it but repeat it themselves anyway.

Sorry but, I was cracking up at the tire escapade. We took off today for a Sat. adventure, mainly I wanted to go to a quilt shop for fabric and we were going to eat lunch at a very good buffet. 15 miles down the road, the tire pressure monitor went off, conveniently we were near a gas station so put air in the back drivers side tire and went on our way. Another 20 miles down the road, I had to use the rest-room, stopped and as I walked around the front of the truck, I heard a hissing sound, looked down big screw in the tire!!! So in 33 miles, 2 tires. We changed that one as it was visibly losing air. Found one tire place open 9 minutes away. Several hours later we finally got them fixed. Icing on the cake.....the first tire actually had a nail AND a screw in it. 3 punctures!! Well that day didn't go as planned. LOL

I love how you didn't let a bump in the road deter your craft room project! You are going to LOVE a dedicated room for your projects and having everything together and close at hand. The relationship between you two is great to watch no matter what you do. Even changing a tire. I can't wait to see what you come up with for the next video. In the meantime I'll continue to chuckle about your tire kicking.

What a disaster to the car tire. I hope they fix that pot hole in the road before another car's tire gets wrecked. What a job in removing carpet from room. Can't wait to see how it all goes.

Don't buy electric oil filled radiators. They can cost more to maintain them and very expensive to run yr meter will be whizzing around very quickly it will be like running 5 iron's at one time, and blow air heaters are not economical either can cost asmuch as oil filled radiators too

Yes! What a great size for a craft room/art studio. I am about to move house and I am hoping for a room of similar size/dimension for myself as well. I am so excited for you and I love this new channel!
