What’s it like to live in Scotland? We'll show you! Get healthy - go to drinkAG1.com/kingingit
After hearing the incredible news last week that the offer we put on our dream house up here in Scotland was accepted we wasted no time jumping in our van and exploring the area we we're going to be living in!
Since our new house is a pretty big renovation project we wanted to talk to local people about their experiences with building a house, planning permission, water source management, airtightness, insulation, and indoor air quality and all the things we may encounter on our barn build. We need as many home renovation tips as we can get!
So we headed to The Pine Marten Lodge in the Cairngorms National Park to meet with Nick the owner and rack his brains on how he built this off grid cabin in the woods.
Let the full Cabin tour commence..

If you can get any of the house’s floor plans/schematics before you close/occupy in January, it will give you a head start on planning plumbing, electrical, and engineering. Don’t know how it works in Scotland, but in the states a lot of the documents are held in the towns record hall.

This reminded me of a major misunderstanding/mistake my first husband and I made when remodeling an old house. We’re both tall so we wanted the kitchen counters to be a bit higher than normal. We told the contractor but neither of the parties involved realized the new floor covering needed a new subfloor. This was so long ago the details are fuzzy. Sadly the countertops ended up being shorter than normal because of the built up floor. Work with professionals!

Get a smallish dog and you can travel with him or her! Do remember, though, that the smaller the dog, the longer its life expectancy. Mine fits in a carrier under the airline seat in front of me (for a hefty price) but since you live in the UK, you might have trouble getting it back into the country. Also, what if your parents get too old to come and look after the puppy? Maybe adopt an older dog (maybe 5-6).

The best advice that we got when we moved into our 120yr old house was "live in it at least for a year before you start ANY renovations/restorations". Your plans/needs/dreams will change. Get to know the house. Third year here and it was the best advice ever :) We got a labrador puppy three months after we moved in. That was not the plan, but she is the best thing ever. Good luck with your house, it looks lovely!

It gets bloody freezing there in Winter so heating costs are better spent on masses of insulation. You lucky, lucky people. It couldn't have happened to a nicer couple.

I would imagine the cost of you going there, considering everything, would probably equate to feeding many dog/cat shelters for a while. It’s your choice but felt the need to point out costs against everything else. All the best you two ♥️

I have installed many electric underfloor heating systems, although I would definitely go for a piped system. However, Nick gave some great advice regarding getting the order of work right first. Make sure that you have a thermal break/insulation below your heated floor so that heat rises and doesn’t try to heat up the planet under your property. Draw out how you think you want the layout of each room so that you can work out where you need sockets and which side of the door opening for switches (latch side not hinge side). Such an exciting time, I need to take a tour of Scotland on the motorbike so may see you around the cairngorms 😂

Nice cabin! When you reno your new house, consider the under floor heating. Scotland would make that a VERY good idea. I think that, at the back of your house, you might think about a mud room/toilet. Put the washer, dryer, folding table, cupboards for outdoor wear, and storage for towels, sheets, etc. Attach a 1/2 bath/toilet to the mudroom for convenience between the indoors/outdoors. Put the back door out the mudroom to make exiting easy.

Those boards while being likely the right size might give you guys some issues as beginners. Older boards tend to be quite stiff making them hard to turn and not forgiving. A newer board that has a soft flex will make a massive difference when just starting out. I know it’s expensive to get started and those boards will work. Just don’t get discouraged on the sport if you’re having a really hard time on them. I worked in a shop for a few years and would be happy to share some advice if you’d like. when the time comes that you want to upgrade.

Nah you'll be hooked, snowboarding grabs you and doesn't let go no matter how good or bad you are. I've never surfed but I imagine it's that same magic feeling as catching a good wave.

I'm so happy for you guys. The cabin where you are staying is like a dream of mine. Absolute prefection. I can't wait to see what fur babies you guys will begin sharing your lives with. Not only great companions, but also early warning for critters or wanderers stumbling around on your property. Not to mention great hiking buddies. Love the AG1 commercial. You two crack me up. Looking good in snow boarding gear there. Dress for success is my motto as well. Be kind to yourselves and each other. God bless.

I'm telling you---- you two make me laugh so hard that I can't hardly breathe! 😂 I live alone and I think my neighbors can hear me laughing because I'm laughing so hard.... Love you guys and I'm so happy for you getting your new home. But I will tell you that my husband and I got a dog right after we got a home before it was finished and we wished we would have waited until we were done with the home and more settled because the dog needed a lot of attention when you first get them they seem to be very needy for attention like that.

I love log cabins. Quick question, is it during the summer times or is it during the winter times that the wood will expand in the log homes that you will have to readjust them?

Hey friend - not 100% sure haha but a guess... probably both due to the changing temperatures
