The removal of the forest, that is such a huge bummer. I agree with the other comments -- plant your own trees as much as possible ASAP to minimize the impact!
Not one thing! I love how organically everything is evolving and falling into place. ❤ I know you have had lots of help, but I also know how much work you have done. Just the two of you...taking a section and working on it. Aimee's skill with the sledgehammer is on par with mine. Well, she did better because she actually was able to lift it. 😂 Seeing Aimee tackle all the jobs, has given me hope that I can contribute when we get our first home. It will not be a fixer-upper, but seeing Aimee go for it, makes me happy. Sending love from Phoenix, Arizona. Can't wait to see the next video!
Hey dudes, Plant some fir trees on the edges of your land in the meantime so they can grow up over the next 5 years so it wont be so dramatic when the forest is chopped...So you don't lose "The Vibe".... Especially because your spa is going to be in that spot!! Also, hopefully theres potential discussion with the forestry company / land owner to leave some tree's in place. Definitely speak to them asap! much love x
We have lived in our house for 7 years and are surrounded by one row of blue spruce that divide us from our neighbors on three sides. Every year the spruce have grown anywhere from 10 to 14 inches. So, over a period of 7 years, that's an average of 7 ft in added height. It's amazing how they look now! 😮❤😊
A row of spindly spruce trees are unlikely to last long in this environment. The winds would likely get them. Although slower growing a mixture of native deciduous like Rowan and Silver Birch and Scots Pine trees will cope better, will be more attractive and bring in more wildlife.
@@gordonross7638I’d agree with this in this climate. Slower and strong would be better with the winds and that Scotland gets. Currently getting a battering here in the far north of the Highland’s! 🥴
Hi I am a period property damp specialist. Please don't use cement or plastic masonry paint on this building its vital to use breathable lime motar and breathable paint like limewash or clay paint. Cement render traps in the wet unable to dry out and basically destroys lime built buildings. Lime will last for hundreds of years and keep the walls dry and warm
The old fireplace in the whiskey snug absolutely has to stay! It is a huge part of a Scottage’s ambience and history. IMO, it would be absolute sacrilegious to remove it😁🙏.
I agree. It has to stay. If can't be a snug without a fireplace. The space needs it!! Craig, you know she's right on this one. When you're sitting beside a crackling fire drinking your chosen beverage, you'll be so glad you left it.
You asked what you should use to make the path to your studio. I would recommend using the same stones that your patio is made from. Using the same materials around the property will give it a more cohesive look. I’m so excited to watch the progress!
i was seriously concerned for you when you showed us your "new project" , but with the extrodinarary hard work, sweat , and tears I can see a vision of it all. I'm genuinely excited to see the finished project . Absolutely love you both
For your walkway to the studio, can you reuse some of the stone you moved away? And let the moss grow around it with a creepy flowering something? SQUEAL!!! CAN.NOT.WAIT. to see this continue to progress. I am broke as a joke but am honored to be member of your channel. I think you guys are the bee's knees of the interwebs. Your videos always bring me such joy. God bless you
I would definitely recommend keeping the fireplace! Heating systems can fail from time to time AND a real fire can be absolutely healing and romantic sometimes ✨☺️ good building!👍🏻
I just wanted to say that you both bring such a positive vibe to my day. I always look forward to any and all updates/videos you have to share. I just wanted to add that having a 'step stone' path to Aimee's Garden House would be very magical and not take away from the beautiful wildflowers in the space. Lots of love!
Please keep the wood burner!! Til you experience a Scottish winter you have no idea heat pumps are OK but not instant heat whereas stove is an you got lots of free fuel in the form of wind fall branches so stock up now for next year go on now!
I’d absolutely agree with this. Living here in the far north of the highlands it’s definitely best to have more than one heat source. If the electricity is down having wood burner is ideal. Iv also heard for the air source heat pumps to work well the house needs to be well insulated xxx
@@thehighlandlife2023 Absolutely, we are in SW France, the air source heat pump in our 200 year old farmhouse copes most of the Autumn / Winter / Spring. However we still burn 2 m3 of wood in the log burner. Plus we can cook slow stews.
My husband and I had a heat pump and almost froze in the winter. We have adequate insulation but when those north winds blow and there is frost it never gave us the heat we were used to. We quickly changed our unit out and put in central air and heat, much better for our family. 😊❤
Oh, I love that you will have the Legacy of "The Dinosaur Room." Whatever that room becomes you must always refer to it as "The Dinosaur Room," or maybe even the The Dinosaur Wing." Your plans looks so incredible. So happy for you!
I would definitely keep the fireplace. Make it one with out that kind of insert. Image a nice snowy night, the fire blazing and watching the snowflakes fall.
Wasn’t sure how I felt about your content focussing more on the house and a bit less on travel. I have to say, I’m loving it! You two never bore us! I’m loving the home update videos and can’t wait to see the final product. Amazing content, as always!
I can just imagine the pure joy and excitement on your face Aimee, when the little Robin landed on your head. You two have made an incredible change to your home, and I'm loving being on the journey with you both!
I‘m overwhelmed but also inspired by how many ideas and projects you have going on at the same time. I’m probably most excited about the cottage. Can’t wait to see you moving into your bedroom :) This is a project for life and I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far. Just like life there will be ups and downs. You’re moving forward though and I hope you feel really proud of your accomplishments so far 🤗
The strawberry blond wig you are wearing in this video is my favourite on you Aimee. The plan for the house are very exciting and I can’t wait for you to have a proper house to live in. Not that custard isn’t cozy. ❤️🇨🇦
Has it been 7 months already??? Wow! I was so negative and pessimistic with your purchase from the beginning, but you've absolutely won me over! I love your designs and plans - all of them... Can't wait to see it finished!!! ❤
If you can start transplanting small baby trees on the border of your home But of course on your side. Either look around your property to dig up and move trees or go buy baby trees. You don't have to loose the trees around you.
Wow, wow, Wow!! It truly is amazing how much you've done in 7mths! I must also say how exceptional the filming, explaining & editing of this Vlog just gets me super excited for the next 7+ months! You & your Crew should be very proud of all you've done thus far! This is going to be an Epic dream build & I can't wait for you to share it with all of us! ❤ you both. 🌟
rear flue the wood burner and bring it out from the fireplace . this way you’ll get heat from the sides as well as the front of the fire. plus you can stick a stew pot on top 😊
14:37 Thinking way outside of the box, why not take some of those thinner stones and use them to clad the ugly wall upstairs? That way, you would have another feature wall using stone from your property. ❤😊 Since you're going to be covering the walls two deaden the sounds for your studio, you could actually take all of the walls down (except those that are cemented/grouted/pointed in) and replace them with cinder block walls (or whatever type of blocks you use over there in Scotland). By doing so you could also make sure there is a membrane on the outside that would hold all of the water back and have it properly drain away from the building.
I'd take the existing stove out - it's designed as a back boiler so I imagine it won't work as efficiently as a new stand alone one. It's worth having one as a back up in case your system goes down in the depths of winter, as well as being the epitome of cosy. There are so many cool little stoves out there it would be a shame not to. 🙂
Yay. Action stations. 🙌 Can I suggest mudroom is in utility room. Somehow a mudroom at the front door seems a bit messy. Plus you can then walk straight into the bathroom for a shower. 😁
Thanks so much for sharing your progress. It's hard to believe that it's been 7 months already! You 2 are a living example of one of my fav quotes "If my Mind can Concieve it - And my Heart can Believe it, then I cna Achieve it." Keep on Kinging-It!!! Namaste
It's great to feel your happiness 🤗 you make me happy just looking at you both. I know it's going to be a lot of hard work, but I hope you keep your zeal❤
You could replace the old wood burner stove with a little Hobbit stove - We have two of them They're really cute and efficient and can generate up to 4Kw of heat - that would be plenty for the snug. ❤
Can’t wait to see all the progress. You have worked your tales off! Love your visions for future projects. ❤ 😊 Thanks for taking us along. Take care of yourself and find time for each other. 😊
Yeesssss!😂where is everyone😂 Edit: that was a great video… mind blowing how far you’ve come… it’s all SO exciting … roll on next Sunday for Aimee’s Studio🤞🥳🍾❤️
I am so happy for you guys sitting here watching this video. You can tell that you are genuinely excited about every aspect of your new home and the plans you have for it. I love watching all of your videos, but these last few ones about your new home and getaway really put a smile on my face. Congratulations and many best wishes for you both. Hi from Kentucky, USA.
Plans looks outstanding now remember that don't panic when things go bad or slowed down that's all part of renovations you will get there don't over extend yourselves ! If have to do it in stages some of your outside plans could take a couple of years ! We bought our tiny home in 2001 around 700 square feet plus full basement is a full basement! Furnace room laundry and sewing room now working on family room sadly Joe passed away Feb 2020 so getting it done myself with help with my twin and a friend help me put up a new ceiling that was biggest job ! Took from March till July! Then work got in the way ! Sofa was delivered on Friday now working on recovering an old rocker hope get it done in a week ! So close will be ready for Christmas the room is 12 by 19 feet good size very happy so far now to get sewing ! But every stage is exciting enjoy every moment be proud of what you two accomplish each time you work on it as your vision comes to life ! So you don't get discouraged you will get there ! Time on your side I am 70 so not as much time as you two but I enjoy working with my hands ! Congratulations guys you are doing great ! Sad that Joe no longer here but we did build a Studebaker pickup hot rod fromm 1999 to 2003 and took to shows for many years that was our big achievement we loved traveling in the truck our happy place like custard but cannot live in it ! But it's okay Joe came in my life later at 44 years young had amazing time with him and celebrate him everyday ! Cheers ! Thanks for sharing
Been waiting for this update! I found you guys about a week ago, started with the renovation and am now working my way through the travels, you guys are awesome and make me laugh out loud, a lot!
I am SO EXCITED, HAPPY GO YOU TWO... YOUR DOING AN AMAZING JOB ON THE COTTAGE AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE THE PLANS THAT YOU HAVE YOUR HOME.... I LOVE ALL OF THE TREES AND LANDSCAPE THAT YOU HAVE AND ALL THAT YOU CAN SEE.... ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.... WELL DONE CRAIG AND AMY 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼✌🏼💯
Have you considered painting the unmatched stone walls? Also, get busy PLANTING TREES NOW……so that the loss of that beautiful forest won’t be quite so harsh when the day arrives 🥴☹️🫤. So excited for both of you!
Loved this video you guys!! Sundays are my families new favourite day because it means a new video. Absolutely obsessed with all the progress so far with the house, it’s looking amazing!! I cannot wait to see the finished result. It will all be worth it in the end, and what a great adventure you are both experiencing. 🎉❤
Lots of hard work has been done! 💪👏 congrats on the progress! Good luck with building your dream studio Aimee. Looking forward to the next steps!!! ❤❤❤
I just have to say that you two are perfect for each other. I LOVE SUNDAYS ❤❤❤. Your home is going to be so special. Already what you guys have done is fabulous ❤❤❤.
Amazing progress. I put a Woodburner in last year and would say if anyway to keep a Woodburner in Whisky Snug keep it even if house as cosy as anything in freezing winter with wind blowing a hoolie watching logs burn just the best thing it gives instant life to room when you come back home 💜🥰x Edit the wee bit at top of stairs my soul sisters house has same feature....we ripped her house out 30 odd years ago...that area she kept big fluffy cushions, blankets and books with a window to watch the clouds and stars x
I agree! We moved to the Scottish highlands 2 years ago into a house without a log burner 😭 and we are looking to get one installed because it’s just sooo cosy having one. Plus always handy to have another form of heating x
You guys have done so much. I love your visions for the future of your home and outbuildings. I'm with Aimee on keeping a fireplace of some sort, it could be a wonderful room to snuggle on the couch and enjoy a toast for Christmas. Not to mention where Santa can come in to deliver gifts for your children, if you're so inclined and God wills it.
Fun vlog. It is going to be so cool when its all done. You could have used the end of the other building for Aimees girl shed, instead of buying and building a wood shed. Keep the wood burner.. it is cosy.. you can warm water, cook if eg. You loose your electricity in a storm etc. Put an orchard up where the stone steps go from behind your bus. If the forest will not be cut down for a while.. see if you can get them to leave (or for you to buy) the one row of trees boardering your property..then add more trees on your actual propery .. more pines.. they grow fast.. then you have a mini copse at the end of your garden behind your Wellness area... so it will still look/feel like you have the forest there.
Get the wood stove serviced or service it your self, chimney sweep, check the fire bricks in the stove replace and broken bricks and if the unit is a re burn unit check the Catalytic system to see if any parts need repaired. Number one reason to keep the wood stove or to replace with a more efficient one is Emergencies. Look up The Quebec ice storm of 1998, I was in Ontario that winter visiting my in-laws and many families would not have survived if they did not have a wood burning stove! Please there are many documentaries on it please find them and watch It will convince you to keep the wood stove. I can't express enough to KEEP THE WOOD STOVE!
So lovely to see you have you won the lottery 😂 . Only kidding. Send me a bit to get heating in the van 😂. The house going to look absolutely beautiful, I would suggest having a lovely little wiggly foot parth to the garden summer house take care ❤🤠👍x
Would you change anything? 🤔
The removal of the forest, that is such a huge bummer. I agree with the other comments -- plant your own trees as much as possible ASAP to minimize the impact!

No, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm very expressed with the designs & can't wait to see the final results ❤
Nope~you’re doing AMAZING!💜

Wonderful! Suggest planting some trees now to start growing to surround yourself with the forest vibe, in preparation of the forest being chopped down
You asked what you should use to make the path to your studio. I would recommend using the same stones that your patio is made from. Using the same materials around the property will give it a more cohesive look.
I’m so excited to watch the progress!
I love Sundays with you guys!! I'm loving the RENO, anyone else think that 7 months has flown right by?
i was seriously concerned for you when you showed us your "new project" , but with the extrodinarary hard work, sweat , and tears I can see a vision of it all. I'm genuinely excited to see the finished project . Absolutely love you both
As un-handy as we may have started - there is always room to learn and grow and if you have some belief, you can achieve incredible things in life! 💙
Please keep your log burner. As a rural wild Glen dweller our stove never lets us down when the power goes out. ❤
Yes 🙌 We are looking to put one into our house here in the far north of the highlands
I shall pass this note onto Craig... 👼

I mentioned it before “ get a friendly goat who will eat and eat and eat “ 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Can't just have one - 4 would be great 😎👌
@@Paul_SDJust came to say the same!! Can’t just have one and goat math is like chicken math!! 🤣

Definitely have alog burner, in scottish winters there is nothing better than sitting infront of a real 🔥 fire
Agreed 🙌
A cobblestone walkway up to your studio would look so good! You might also might want to make a little fairy garden 🧚🏽♀🧚🏼
The strawberry blond wig you are wearing in this video is my favourite on you Aimee. The plan for the house are very exciting and I can’t wait for you to have a proper house to live in. Not that custard isn’t cozy.

Thank you!! 😊
Awesome! this is sooo fun to watch. Thanks for taking us along!
You have come so far in the last few years, I think you was full time van life when I first started watching your videos and now you have a house.
rear flue the wood burner and bring it out from the fireplace . this way you’ll get heat from the sides as well as the front of the fire. plus you can stick a stew pot on top 😊
The separate barn would do well
As an air bnb perfect spot to get away keep it up trevs 💪🏻
14:37 Thinking way outside of the box, why not take some of those thinner stones and use them to clad the ugly wall upstairs? That way, you would have another feature wall using stone from your property. ❤😊 Since you're going to be covering the walls two deaden the sounds for your studio, you could actually take all of the walls down (except those that are cemented/grouted/pointed in) and replace them with cinder block walls (or whatever type of blocks you use over there in Scotland).

WOW!!!! Your property is going to be epic! Can't wait to see the final reveal! ❤😊 Sending love and best wishes from Minnesota, USA!
So very very happy for you both building memories (and a new home).
Sundays are officially my favorite day ❤
I'd take the existing stove out - it's designed as a back boiler so I imagine it won't work as efficiently as a new stand alone one. It's worth having one as a back up in case your system goes down in the depths of winter, as well as being the epitome of cosy. There are so many cool little stoves out there it would be a shame not to. 🙂
Yay. Action stations. 🙌 Can I suggest mudroom is in utility room. Somehow a mudroom at the front door seems a bit messy. Plus you can then walk straight into the bathroom for a shower. 😁

WOW! You are wonderful, you have achieved so much.
It's great to feel your happiness 🤗 you make me happy just looking at you both.
I know it's going to be a lot of hard work, but I hope you keep your zeal❤
This is why Sundays are my favourite! You guys should turn your barn into a an indoor spa! It has the perfect aesthetic with the stone walls!
You could replace the old wood burner stove with a little Hobbit stove - We have two of them They're really cute and efficient and can generate up to 4Kw of heat - that would be plenty for the snug. ❤

Loved this video you guys!! Sundays are my families new favourite day because it means a new video. Absolutely obsessed with all the progress so far with the house, it’s looking amazing!! I cannot wait to see the finished result. It will all be worth it in the end, and what a great adventure you are both experiencing. 🎉❤
Lots of hard work has been done! 💪👏 congrats on the progress! Good luck with building your dream studio Aimee. Looking forward to the next steps!!! ❤❤❤
I just have to say that you two are perfect for each other. I LOVE SUNDAYS ❤❤❤. Your home is going to be so special. Already what you guys have done is fabulous ❤❤❤.
Yay, I have been waiting all evening for the latest update
Amazing progress.
I put a Woodburner in last year and would say if anyway to keep a Woodburner in Whisky Snug keep it even if house as cosy as anything in freezing winter with wind blowing a hoolie watching logs burn just the best thing it gives instant life to room when you come back home 💜🥰x
Edit the wee bit at top of stairs my soul sisters house has same feature....we ripped her house out 30 odd years ago...that area she kept big fluffy cushions, blankets and books with a window to watch the clouds and stars x
I agree! We moved to the Scottish highlands 2 years ago into a house without a log burner 😭 and we are looking to get one installed because it’s just sooo cosy having one. Plus always handy to have another form of heating x
Your channel is like a joyful journey into the world of fun and entertainment. Keep making us happy with your funny videos!😉😊◼️
Thank you so much 😀
For the stairs to your garden. I would do the same as the rest of the grounds. Keep it informed
These plans are as incredible as Craig's jacket!
You’re making serious progress! You look younger and more relaxed in the face. So happy for you 🥹
Kinging-It is absolutely KILLING IT!!! I’m so excited for you guys!!!
Love what you have done!
Totally full lives. So excited to see the next steps on your build❤
You guys have done so much. I love your visions for the future of your home and outbuildings. I'm with Aimee on keeping a fireplace of some sort, it could be a wonderful room to snuggle on the couch and enjoy a toast for Christmas. Not to mention where Santa can come in to deliver gifts for your children, if you're so inclined and God wills it.
Fun vlog. It is going to be so cool when its all done. You could have used the end of the other building for Aimees girl shed, instead of buying and building a wood shed.
Keep the wood burner.. it is cosy.. you can warm water, cook if eg. You loose your electricity in a storm etc.
Put an orchard up where the stone steps go from behind your bus.
If the forest will not be cut down for a while.. see if you can get them to leave (or for you to buy) the one row of trees boardering your property..then add more trees on your actual propery .. more pines.. they grow fast.. then you have a mini copse at the end of your garden behind your Wellness area... so it will still look/feel like you have the forest there.
You have done a fantastic job! I'm so happy for you both, you deserve it!💕
Get the wood stove serviced or service it your self, chimney sweep, check the fire bricks in the stove replace and broken bricks and if the unit is a re burn unit check the Catalytic system to see if any parts need repaired. Number one reason to keep the wood stove or to replace with a more efficient one is Emergencies. Look up The Quebec ice storm of 1998, I was in Ontario that winter visiting my in-laws and many families would not have survived if they did not have a wood burning stove! Please there are many documentaries on it please find them and watch It will convince you to keep the wood stove. I can't express enough to KEEP THE WOOD STOVE!
I’m so happy and excited for the two of you 😊 God bless the both of you 🥰
So lovely to see you have you won the lottery 😂 . Only kidding. Send me a bit to get heating in the van 😂. The house going to look absolutely beautiful, I would suggest having a lovely little wiggly foot parth to the garden summer house take care ❤🤠👍x
