    That breaks my heart, we cooked stew, bread and soup on that range and dried our shoes on the bottom oven. Socks drying on the top.
    We chopoed wood to fuel it, pine cones as fire lighters.

    Did you hear the report that the alter stone at Stonehenge did not come from Wales, as they originally thought, but from northeastern Scotland?
    Scientists have decided that the builders of Stonehenge had a much larger cooperative community to make Stonehenge possible. If it seemed impossible to get that huge stone all the way from Wales to the Salisbury Plain, imagine how much more of a production it would be to get it from North Eastern Scotland! It boggles the mind!

    For sanding old paint and varnish off doors try a belt sander and use a rubber cleaning pad occasionally on the belt to help clean off the built up residue and helping the sanding belts last longer. Then use the orbital sander with finer grit paper to finish it off.

    Years ago I bought brand new, a similar but basic style of fibreglass canoe. It had tape along the side seams all the way around, from new. The tape was purely decorative to cover up the seam purely for neatness, as the canoe was made of a top half and a bottom half moulding in two pieces.

    I am happy to see that you got the dense foam boarding for under the flagstones. With a thin layer of setcrete on top to place your flagstones will make make a world of difference in keeping the floor from radiating cold and moisture into the room. Are you going to place some sand or chip stone underneath for leveling? It's to bad you do not have enough space to place a few loops of pex pipe for radiant heat , that would be the "cats meow" for your cottage. I noted you where using an orbital sander to work on your door, it takes quite a while to do it that way and a lot of arm work which can be quite tiring. . If you are able to , obtain a small belt sander 3 x 24 inch or roughly 8 x 60 cm would do the job very quickly by using a 60 grit belt . This size is big enough to handle the job efficiently but not large enough to drag you around and you can control fairly easily. You do not have to put any pressure down just guide the sander around ( be careful not to linger in any spot too long as it will carve a groove) but it will cut your time considerably, smooth down any large nicks or deep scratches nicely. It is also a very handy tool to have if you want to clean up old boards that you may want for the odd project or redoing table tops. You can then finish off with the orbital sander for a very nice surface finish. I also see that you can do a bit of mudlarking out your front door , neat.... thank you for views of your island and showing us your projects, and ....no ......your videos are not repetitive, they are interesting scenes of day to day living in a serene environment and comments on life that many people like myself enjoy.

    • @TheScottishIsle
      @TheScottishIsle  3 месяца назад

      We'll put lime-crete down to lay the flags on top on, lime-crete is also very insulative in itself, so we should have dry toasty feet, especially when the stones are warmed up with the heat of the fire and can do their job to trap and radiate heat. We did consider underfloor heating connected to a woodburning stove, but because the rooms are so small, the stove itself will warm up the room like you wouldn't believe, so there's not much point bothering with underfloor. We'll get some very good stoves and lots of loft insulation. Sorted! Thank you for your advice and for watching. Kx

    Since you're probably finished with the door by now, this is probably a moot point, but a belt sander probably would have been the best way to go (even before the paint stripper). If you have many other projects, it might be worth the investment. Not sure how much they cost in the UK.
