Satisfying, at times frustrating and very very repetitive!

Thanks Kevin.

I was only saying to my boy today how it has been a huge amount of extra work but so worth it.Do it right, do it once!

That's a hell of a shift. 11000!! Hats off to you sir.

I've just found enough slate to finish the other side of the roof over in the next glen from us so I'll have to stomach it a little while longer yet. Aye I'm looking forward to designing and carving the oak.

Thanks Tom, have started on the next one and it won't be too long before I've actually caught right up to date.

Thankyou kindly.

My absolute pleasure Des.

Wow!! I'm lost for words. Thankyou so much.

Have you had chance to watch Part 2 of this video? In it I show how I cut all the roof timbers. That should hopefully answer your questions but if not let me know and I'll explain further.

Thankyou

It sure slowed me down but didn't stop me.

Ha that's funny, I bought some kneepads for them a few weeks back once I started slating the roof and never take them out now. Except for the odd wash of course! My only annoyance with these trousers is the lack of a hammer loop. Who would make a pair of work trousers without a hammer loop?!!

Exactly!

Hello, the two frames on the sides are connected across the roof by the roof rafters and at the two ends by the two stud frames that are built there. Does that make sense?

@ Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, that makes sense. I hadn’t planned on doing the roof, I may have to rethink my options soon can attach it differently. Thank you

@mickcarrigan67 no worries. I thought it made a lot of sense to do the roof as I think just as much heat gets lost through there as the walls.

@ it makes perfect sense. I just need to make it work budget wise

Thanks for asking. All is well, just struggling to find time to edit what with trying to get watertight and also trips back to England to see my poorly mum. Next video hopefully coming shortly.

That's great Scott, thankyou. Love to get comments like this. Had to look up BZ and now appreciate that as well. Cheers.

Mad as a hatter.

It certainly is. Has been a real game changer.

You can get them from Screwfix. It's called a hammer tacker .

That's great to hear. Hope it goes well. Thanks for watching.

Cheers Brian, appreciate that.

Thanks John, I appreciate that.

Thankyou

I'll tell you something, it's a lot more stable than some proper scaffold I've had to go up in my time!

Have to admit I was pretty chuffed with that one.

Until I moved to Argyll my working life consisted of about 35 years in the building game just self employed, on my own 99% of the time as well as touring as a professional musician, also solo. That's why it made me smile recently when someone suggested in a comment I probably shouldn't be left to my own devices! Ha ha

Aye, I had to resist the urge to be smug at that moment!

Couldn't agree more. It not only looks better but functions better as a place to live keeping the heat in during winter and staying cooler in the summer.

Could say more by luck than judgement but there was definitely some judgement involved.

Hi Dennis, I have been working out how to do that and plan to try and get the new videos subtitled as well as doing the older ones retrospectively but it's going to take some time.

Thanks Tom, just been out battening down a few hatches and so far so good. Next few hours will be interesting!

Maybe we are onto something here, a whole new range of 4 wheel drive safety crocs. Perhaps I can become the face of Crocs! Head full of holes.

Ah that's very kind of you and thanks for taking the time to let me know. Hard work is good for the soul eh.

That's so good to hear, thanks so much. When I started out doing this I had no idea whether folks would be into it or just find it boring so it's very gratifying to get comments like this.

@@LadyfieldFarm it’s the perfect thing to watch for somebody like me who wants to sell up move somewhere more rural and build my own home so keep it coming!

@nick-meets-world oh they'll keep coming don't you worry.

Thanks Kevin, very happy that's all down now.

There'll be even more trepidation for you tomorrow!!

Oh the elements!!! August was unbelievable this year. We had 15 inches of rain in the month!!

You're too kind

It really is my pleasure. Please feel free to share it on.

All went as planned at least. And boy I've had some good times at that club.

It won't be the last time it gets used I'm sure.

Thanks Sonia.

I can see it finished in my head.

Thanks again Virginia. It's not as beautiful as it's going to be....

Cheers Tom, really appreciate your continued support.

It's always fun when we get to do some of these things together.

Thankyou kindly.

@@LadyfieldFarm very much looking forward to the next video

@@tomapperly720 working on it....

They are not back in as yet but they will definitely be going back as close to their original position as possible.

Videos and real time chronology are little askew at the moment but I'm fit as a fiddle just now so all is well. Hope you're good. Planning a trip up again anytime?

@LadyfieldFarm I very nearly made a dash over on the weekend you were at the cricketers! I'm hoping for a spring visit at the very least.

What am I talking about? Spring visit is out of the question. I will be heading south to greet my grandchild (as my grandmother would say, deo volente).
