Great job. Well done! Love the cutting tool, I’ve never seen one of those before. I guess that you will get a new electric ferry to replace the current one soon. I love that journey from Kilchoan to Tobermory.
@@michaelmcclafferty3346 aye the nibblers good for cross cutting but a bit trickier to run straight up the lengths. Think we are more likely to get a rubber dingy as a replacement here !! 🙄
It’s really really difficult even to put a ball park on it , each one is so different , this one for example has a new extention going in round the back but it’s a Douglas fir post and beam structure with hemp block and hemp rate walls , not doing that very often , I wouldn’t like to comment on cost of this one for client confidentiality but on history of having done a few it’s safe to say a full gut out back to the walls is gonna eat up over £100G easy and could soar very quickly depending on spec , location and any extensions added . the vat is a killer as it’s not counted as new construction even though modern regs are applied but on property that’s empty for 2+ years you can fall into the 5% bracket. Sorry , long winded way of saying I don’t know 🤷♂️ 😆
Cheers , I would imagine the roof tiles would last longer but I’m not sure , the harsh weather conditions here will degrade it quicker than somewhere on the mainland a bit more sheltered , the salt air probably will have an impact too , don’t often do galvanised , usually a plastisol coated sheet . 👍
@@FONASDeadlock aye I think 60 years would be doing well here ! There’s a few we’ve replaced over the years at about 45 years and they’re as brittle and porous as hell , you try to replace one and break three ! Slate is definitely the longest lasting when fitted well .
Hi everyone , hope you enjoy this latest video , you also get to catch the very brief 2 days of summer we had 😂

I share your scepticism about the ferries but being from Glasgow, I’m a cynical optimist.
What is the ballpark cost to renovate an old property like that?

Tidy job. What's the life on those sheets compared to concrete tiles?

Marley say 60 years on their tiles, but the guarantee is 15. Be interesting to see how it weathers in. Looking forward to seeing the progress 👍
