Get a length of wire, cut 6 inch lengths and twist them round the joins in the fence, much stronger... and not plastic😊.

[@TheScottishIsle]

If we had the wire this is what we'd do.

[@pitchforkcustom]

yep thought that too. gardening wire, although that’s coated in plastic.. temp fix ❤

@@TheScottishIsle any old cable lying about that you could unwind strands from? Even strips of old chicken wire would do.

Why did this episode remind me of "Last of the Summer Wine?"

Great comment

We take that as an extreme compliment. 👍🏻😊

[@kimberlycook5860]

Saw the stone mason in front of the Croft! Thought I was seeing things for a minute….your not alone!

[@davidprice1356]

I like the fact that Katie has been California Dreaming. I've lived in the dream of far northern California for 53 years and it does remind me of your island weather-wise. It is a much better song to sing, while laboring, than Whistle While You Work. Glad to see you made it all in one piece, both you and the work bench.

[@vikkijeffcott4337]

Se to add strength to the weak spots in fences by weaving tree branches in and out of with squares vertically and hammer into ground a bit.. it worked for us in Australia

[@ghpa0008]

While you were moving your workbench , right at the time you were next to the large planter box, jeeves decided to take a load off. We laughed out a$$es off! It’s a huge litter box to him 😂

[@myownlittlehouse471]

I do not understand how that piece of furniture survived being rolled head over heels so far! I can't believe it didn't just come to pieces. I rather freaked me out to glance over behind you two and see ANOTHER HUMAN on the island, in front of your cottage!! I thought he was a ghost! Katie, now I have California Dreamin' as today's ear worm :)

[@zuzanatauvinkl5195]

The furniture survived because it was made long time ago. A newly made one would not last 50 meters. :)

[@priestessholleywood]

I can now say I've seen a desk do a cartwheel.

[@megmills4798]

Your Tuxedo cat is using your garden plot as a litter box

[@user-dt6tc1qr9d]

That was a sterling effort. All I can say is that bench was well made to be able to turn it over and over so many times.I hope we get a glimpse of your sky through the telescope

[@annettemurielle]

Flipping the work bench end over end up the steps was ingenious. Bravo!

[@mariarobinson-jh7dm]

My dad had a telescope similar. It was so much fun to use when we were younger while he used his larger one.

[@lieuwina]

Katie I enjoyed your singing and Scott joining in. Your work bench is certainly very strong. I was wondering if it would get to it's spot in one piece, you do not know how many prayers it took to get it there, was I relieved when it did. That is a very nice telescope, my daughter has one which we still are trying to work out, it is very interesting and we enjoy it. Another lovely video and may you both have a lovely day.

[@melaniehoshall6942]

Thank you for demonstrating why people don't normally roll their furniture up and down glen and dale to move. I think you've rounded the corners of the workbench a bit, but clearly it's a VERY sturdy workbench to survive offroading. Anything made in the last 10 years would probably have disassembled itself and you'd have had nothing but kindling to show for your efforts. Your workbench is still quite recognizable. I'm guessing the person who popped into the frame is the friend who is helping with the window in the livingroom and the finish on the wall. If that's not who he is, well, that's a little creepy.

[@alansimpson8377]

Get a ring stapler for the fence. Much easier. Agree with the telescope. A couple of weeks then back in the shed. Looks a fun place to be. Enjoy.

[@effieboo]

"Debbie McGee? No, WD-40." Binge festing your channel, folks - love it, all the best, and keep up the great and unique content ❤️

The daffodils are so pretty as is the island. Moving the desk went a lot easier than your last move. Love to both of you ❤️🤗

[@colinwilkinson3648]

No need for thicker tie wraps just use some of the old wire fencing.Cut some short lengths of wire ,with some decent pliers ,loop through fence and twist that wont come undone,plus you are recycling 👍😆 itsa win win.

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Scott, you can't say the words you'll end up thinking about hauling that trolly behind the ATV. Lol! I have vision of Wiley Coyote after his Acme Trolly runs over him in the road, and the Road Runner zips on past. Beep! Beep! Some people see the glass as half empty. Some see the glass as half full. I usually see the glass needs washing. Lol. Come to Wyoming! That's as Old West as you can get!

[@headron66]

I hope we get to see what Scott sees through his the telescope, exciting!❤

[@nancybottemiller2522]

I'm laughing my head off😂😂 It's all about the technique!! Yes

[@whirlwindwmn]

At 20:03 the cat uses the garden to relieve himself. Lol. You might want to put some additional fencing around it. 👍

[@glenysperry3421]

Great kitty litter box!

[@plot1895]

I just put netting over my raised beds to keep the cats off.

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Katie and Scott, what a Hugh haul with that desk from the buier. But you made it 🎉 And that's a nice telescope that you have Scott. It will come in handy when looking at all those stars in those clear skies. Thanks for sharing this video, looking forward to the next one.

[@2gray2care]

“Pivot!” You two are hilarious. Well played.

[@gwyndixon7023]

I have used that size cable tie for many years, admittedly not to restrain deer.

[@gloriak491]

My goodness you two work well together. A great way to move work table. Good luck with the telescope.

[@philipbarrett3151]

This was wonderful therapy after a long & very tough day 🙏

The music could be, Born to be wild, or the wheels on the truss go round and round?

[@glennwing4214]

If you ever decide to go to California, skip the southern cities but don't miss Big Sur - it might even surpass your island in beauty, and that really saying something! It's one of those special places on earth - nothing else like it. San Francisco is worth seeing and the redwoods. That little trolley is quite the piece of kit - it's amazing that you're moving heavy stuff down to the house. Well done! How nice to have such a good telescope to look at what is undoubted a very dark sky.

[@zuzanatauvinkl5195]

And if you decide to see The Wild West stop at Paonia, Colorado. I will show you around.

[@marychristensen4254]

Great video! From Montana now, born in California. Amazing place to be raised in the 60s-70s.

[@louiseswart1315]

One of the main reasons I am addicted to this channel is the affectionate bickering between two old friends. Testimony of the strong bond you have there, which has way more staying power than a marriage contract. Your Bree is a drama queen just as much as my scot Whisky. Lots of drama until you pour the warm water over her, then she thoroughly enjoys her bath. It is more about "you have to stand still so we can do this now". Just wondering what you need the rowboat for if you don't live on an island. I suppose the hip also "needs a squirt of this" 😂

[@joyceglaister2086]

Hi Katie and Scott I have just watched this video and once again enjoyed watching how you always manage to overcome and solve problems. Brilliant to watch. Thank you 🐏🐑🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@tripletgirl2484]

Beautiful day for moving furniture!

[@robinmoore5181]

😊 I am predicting that the Deer will DESTROY those green ties in 1 swift motion, lol. We quite love your videos and slap stick humor. 😂😊

[@debraoliver505]

I notice one of your cats jumped into the closed off sandy area near your office and used it as his kitty litter, lol.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Goodness, what strength!

[@antoinettebouchet5971]

I have found that using 6 foot lengths of rebar that you can just push in, to reinforce the fence, means they can't push on it. Also, black cable ties are the least visible if you cut off the excess. Not too expensive either.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Good idea! Kx

[@johnroesch5704]

My name is Erin ogg. I don't know if this will help but since the deer are pushing in. I have a solar hot wire. Though the summer I honestly don't know about the brairs getting in the way. It has helped us. As long the deer can't jump it. Good luck . We love your videos

[@megmills4798]

I am so happy to be here your show makes me smile😊

[@yvettealba7431]

I'm a California native and I miss the ocean. But now we live in Northern Arizona where Wyatt Earp and the brothers plus Doc Holiday stayed for a bit. Prescott, AZ still has the bar they tended to. The original bar is still there. Tucson is where the OK Coral is and they have reenactment there. Big nose Kate is buried here in Prescott. This is where the oldest rodeo is held every 4th of July. But I still miss California you get a bit of everything there.

Well done for shifting that bench all that way 😬by the way loved the banter on this episode and the last episode. Did comment about your chat at the end being like The League Of Gentleman ( canoeists travelling by ) Scott , you really made me laugh 😆but think got cancelled 🫤probably will again ?

[@TheScottishIsle]

Who cancelled what?

[@Harris70-70]

Sent message but saw it came up initially then it disappeared. This happened with another KZbinr I watch and has happened a couple of times. Thought it maybe as I had mentioned The League of Gentlemen and was politically incorrect 🤷‍♀️( even though you can watch it on KZbin) who knows !? Anyway I found your vlogs funny as always with a good mixture of topics 😊

Well done both if you! A brilliant effort, and successfully completed too 😊. You remind me of myself and husband 25yrs ago when we too had to work together to move, lift, drag, then build, fix, and create all sorts of items for our home 😊. We're a bit too old now though 😊. Much love to you both ❤️

Island life is hard work alright, good effort! I think I'd have ended up with it completely busted and only useful for firewood (not to mention given up after half way and thrown a tantrum!) 😂 It's hard enough getting a horse to stand with it's foot in a bucket let alone a sheep!

I really admire how you laugh off the horrible challenges. I am laughing, as yet again the cat is stealing the show, even though the sheep needed attention! Did I see a human visitor?

There is folklore about the caves around the world and the souls of shoes being left and found some have tales of fairy people.
