You can fix it, after you calm down and think about it and stop being upset you will fix it. It's beautiful.

[@marksargent2440]

The fact that your giving that family business a plug for helping you is wonderful i pray that thay get lots of new business coming there way and can help you when you get started on your new place .another good episode keep safe both of you

[@julielumsden5184]

We’ve moved at least 18 times in our 60 years of marriage. I learned to pack everything except toilet paper and coffee maker . The week before our move we used all paper plates plastic forks spoons etc. I took the coffee pot with me in the car the last item unplugged and the first to plug in. I realize your move is not quite as easy or as simple. You will have an amazing sense of accomplishment and satisfaction once you’re done.

[@terriford5634]

Funny how that works. The more you move, the less there is of it. Priorities sharpen. Decisions are clearly made. You know exactly what to take, how to sort, and what will fit where. I am a teacher in a job that is always changing. I have moved next door half a dozen times. I can do it in a few wagons and under an hour in a pinch. Blessings to you on gaining that experience. I know you are every bit as happy as those who never moved but a box to an attic or below.

[@lilac9639]

You and the pets brought so much life and warmth to the place. It's going to be a cold, lonely and desolate place without yous.. xx

[@susierogers2207]

This is not on the subject of moving so I apologize in advance. What I would love is a fashion show by katie. Everything she wears is so on point and I just love it!

[@Caareenkm6726]

The stacking up boxes in the trailer in black and white colour only .. fast paced Katie with the fast whimsical music reminded me of old Laurel and Hardy skits from the 20’s - 30’s 😂 🇨🇦

[@marypasco2213]

SO GLAD you have had help with the unloading. Katie, absolutely LOVE your boots. I know you have had them for a while now. Keep up the good work. "Neither rain, nor hail, nor gloom of night....." You've got your stride with the moving. XXXXX

[@joyceglaister2086]

Shame the beautiful chair was damaged but you will fully restore it Scott. Delighted to see things are moving forward. Beautiful photography showing the winter scenery. Thank you both for being so delightful and dignified. 🐑🐑🐑🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@argentinagalos6205]

I am thankful to see how people are so good and sympathetic to the horrible situation you have been thrown into ! God bess you all !

[@annettemurielle]

I don't think there is another KZbin channel where I pray as I watch. I'm so glad you got help to unload, Katie. So happy to hear you thought the little chair was worth saving, Scott. You're good people and God is watching over you. Continued blessings to all the little island inhabitants until you move. ((Hugs))

"..... I repeat, there is no shit in the post box..." I nearly choked on my cup of tea. A sense of humor is so, SO important in the midst of 'shit' and upheaval. It has served me well for many years ☺Hang in there, stay amazing and God bless ❤Teresa 🇦🇺♥ 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐑🐑🐑

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

At least all that muck from the poor drainage is no longer going to be your problem. I can't wait! Hardly for your next adventure to begin!

Dont let go of the many good memories. Ive moved 3 times in the last year and have come to accept and be grateful for the path God sets for me

[@maureenmcgreevy3866]

Has someone been putting shit in the postbox.😮

[@terriford5634]

In the southern states, there is a saying that is often sarcastic that goes "Bless your heart." But in this case, truly Bless your hearts. I can not imagine how mentally you managed there for as long as you did. It does not matter why you needed to leave. The God Lord said pack your bags and go. Don't look back. Don't spare a thought. It's time to go, go, go! And, Bless Your Hearts. For sure and for certain, you are meant for so much better and more. I will pray for your safety, wisdom, health and the luck to be yours as you finish the next stages. Only 1 more Dec there, only 1. You can do anything only 1 more time. Bless your hearts.

[@megmills4798]

MacGreggor thank you for helping Katie&Scott

[@deedaw9246]

Im in the US, so I can't shop at MacGregor. But many thanks to them for all the help they have give you.

[@deborahwilliams349]

Moving is always such an ordeal. You two are troopers with all the bad weather, rough terrain and heavy lifting. Hope you get a chance to catch your breath and nurse sore muscles.

[@dharmaqueen]

Im having anxiety with seeing all your stuff. My husband keeps punting stuff into the attic rather than dealing with it. You can tell Im a minimalist. What a mission for you to get everything moved. Glad you have the quad and trailer.

[@adelinefinlay1582]

You’re both showing us such strength and resilience …… 🙏that the snow stays away until you get out of the hellhole that you’re dream has become x

[@Caareenkm6726]

Resilience for sure.. never know our strength and resilience until we’re challenged. 😊.. they’ve been extremely challenged! They did it together.. I’m sure they had their moments with each other but stayed a team.

[@Caareenkm6726]

In North America it’s called a hutch and buffet.. hutch is on top of the buffet. A hutch buffet set holds linens , silverware , fancy dinnerware glasses, for dining. 😊a dresser holds lingerie clothes etc. 🇨🇦

[@amyfaith2350]

Truth, but I lived in England and had to have a British dining room. Couch and large Welsh Dresser with long table. Love Welsh Dressers even in a Texas home.

[@kirsteneasdale5707]

In Scotland we have what we call ‘sideboards’ in dining areas. They have the same function as the American ‘hutch’ but they will be lower so that the top can be used as a serving area or to display crockery/silverware/vases… We also have something we call a ‘dresser’ which is used for a similar purpose as a ‘hutch’. Usually with cupboards below, a couple of drawers above them and 2 or 3 shelves stacked on top for displaying your best dishes.

[@brenwyckoff]

Great going, so far!! ♥♥ "May ye aye keep hale an' he'rty," till all tha move's complete!!!♥♥

[@myownlittlehouse471]

Hang in there, you two! I'm so glad you have each other. What a grueling process this move is! And your right, Scott, about the impact of the trauma on both of you -- the shaky hands, the knot in the stomach, the anxiety. You will recover, but you have to be away from that place that caused the trauma itself. I hope it is soon.

[@GraySky518]

I’ve moved a lot in my life. Now, I’d like to move again but I look at my things and am overwhelmed. I have gotten rid of a lot but still. It’s like it’s never ending. More power to you.

[@cherylburnie652]

Your both doing a fantastic job of packing up in such horrendous conditions. I look forward to the video that shows you reclining and relaxed in your new temporary digs. Keep going your almost there.

I adore the music you have in your videos, it is soooo soothing and appropriate

[@tonifulk9778]

Hi Katie and Scott. I am with you on your journey. Love Peace and Sunshine for you both❤.

[@Padraigan13]

I feel so bad for you as I sit and watch this video. When you said it's taken years off your lives, my heart sunk. Is there no one close by who can help you load and unload the trailor into the van? I so wish I was close by. 😪

[@OceanBlue2023]

I can't wait for you both & your pets to leave there and start your new life ❤

[@BessieMann]

You're good people and God is watching over you. I know you both will be happy to leave the island I know you put in a lot of work there also

[@sheilaabayateye1558]

Love the rocking chair and the edwardian one. Im sure it can be restored even in its sorry state. I have watched furniture restoring videos with pieces in a worse state. I will really look forward to Katie's restoration of the art deco chair. My favorite style period for glass china clothes and furniture. Hope you two are holding up well x❤

[@janetmackinnon3411]

I think the word for you is ''indomitable). Best of luck with everthing.

[@darlenesmith2704]

Moving is a hard job! and especially with pets! Looking forward to your new place!

[@kn7552-t8c]

Hi Katie and Scott I've watched your episodes from the very start and I have to say I've seen a really big difference in both of you which is so sad, I think you both have every reason to be "cranky" when you are continually battling one thing or another and such negativity from the Landlord did not make any of it easy. I hope you do get off the island sooner rather than later and when you do close that door for the last time and you are in your safe place you both sit with a glass of what cheers you, breathe deeply, relax and let whatever emotion take over that comes, cry, laugh and know that life can only and will now get better.

[@debhartley716]

Nice Aberlour Whiskey on the shelves near the stove 👏🏻 Good luck with the rest of the move ! Love watching your adventures xox Merry Christmas

[@HelenMcGinnis-i9z]

Hi😊 I really hope you're getting a good sleep after moving all that. Hope you have had a good plate o mince and tatties, then cake and custard for pudding. You both deserve all that and more. Hope santa brings you a few new jumpers, Scott. Love n big soft cosy hugs. 💓 for fur n wool too! 😂 Helen from Scotland. Xxxxx

I never got the complete story of why y’all have to leave the island but I think you’re going to have a bright future.

What an exercise program, been there, done that😂

[@ianrawlins2231]

I'm exhausted just watching this! Still - looks like you're both wading into it. Scott - knowing your appreciation for things of quality and character, I'm hoping that kit is a lovely old Gretsch, Ludwig or similar.... You're both inspiring as ever. As always, keep on keeping on, Ian x

For future home you can get what is called a "job box". Big metal box that is lockable and securable

Wishing you all the best for your future journey and put this horrible episode behind you. You didn’t deserve to be treated so badly.

[@staciecats7801]

I agree with Scott that mud is not to be tolerated! I am sorry that you are having to move during such decrepit weather. I am looking forward to the cats, sheep, and the both of you being in your temporary home safe and sound!

[@maryalcock9451]

You’re both making really good progress ! All credit to you xxxx

[@irmibullinger1421]

You two are my heroes! First, I would not have been able to do what you did while on the island and second, the move is just awful. The horrible roads(tracks) that you have to drive over and the weather...just makes me shake my head! I pray you have it much easier once you have moved.

[@megmills4798]

So happy i can be one of many on this journey of yours😊

[@dizzybee4875]

If Scott’s jumper are wool then you’ve felted(shrunk) them you can now cut them without the stitches unraveling & sew in pieces to make them fit again or sew them into anything else you want. That’s the beauty of felted wool👍

I'm the US that's called a hutch. Also in the US, a dresser is only for clothes. I'm sure it's just more bits of language that got lost in the pond. For example: biscuits are fluffy bread here...

We move house tomorrow, dreading it. 😂

[@Caareenkm6726]

Just helped my daughter move.. yikes 😩🇨🇦..

[@Angie-fe8yd]

Just keep thinking your move is going to be a lot easier than theirs. I've moved 4 times in 4 years! The last time January this year to a top floor flat ( 2 staircases n 2 long landings )4 months after a temporary move! I gave up counting at 80 times up n down the stairs...couldn't walk properly for 2 days afterwards!Goodluck🍀

[@rickflood]

I certainly commiserate with your having to move in the absolute worst conditions possible. I was raised in a military family and when they said to move, we moved, at any time of year, in any condition and whether we had a home acquired to move to or not.

[@CrankyBeach]

I remember a military wife in college who talked about how an order to "clear quarters" meant you had to be packed and out within 24 hours!

[@annhamilton2060]

Cor Scott, you are quite cranky in this one. I do hope you get off the island soon.

[@TheScottishIsle]

I'm never cranky. People always misunderstand my natural cheery disposition for abject misery.

[@bethenecampbell6463]

You need a couple pieces of inflatable furniture so you can get every last bit loaded up and still have a place to sit and sleep. Last day on the island deflate and stick in a big tote bag. There are some furniture repair KZbinrs in the UK. Maybe offer up your damaged chair as a challenge project to one of them. You might be surprised what can be done by a talented, motivated man with a charming feline quality control expert (FlippingDrawers)...

[@eddiek0507]

I feel for you. I've been through this house moving carry on myself. It definitely was not my favourite job to do. I think the worst move was on my wedding day. The man who was booked had to change days because of some emergency that he had. So I was married at eleven in the morning and then had to come straight back home to pack the house up. Me and the wife then had to do a 250-mile trip to the new house and never finished unloading the van until around midnight. All I can say for sure is never again, it's too stressful. I hope your new home is secure for you and will have many a happy year spent in it...😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@PaulineWhiteley-Lang-yd3xw]

We've just emptied our 2nd storage container after moving about 10 weeks ago, so you have my sympathies moving all the boxes and playing tetris!

[@kirstennielsen4046]

Cello tape: just let the last bit of tape be at a slight angle, so it sticks ever so slightly over the edge. Never have to "find" the end of the cello tape again, as it'll be sticking out.

[@terrywilkins5266]

I can't see anyone taking on that cottage with the attitude of the landowner.

[@TheScottishIsle]

If only that were true. People will put up with anything for a chance at what they perceive to be an idyllic life. I just hope they see how we have been treated before they take up any such future position.

[@susanbien6957]

I can confirm. That piece of furniture is known in parts of the US as a China Hutch.
