    Nice job on the tanking. OK Katie, I think you should be a historical presenter either on TV or UA-cam. You have great presence and a very calm and clear presenting voice. I would not be surprised if they come a knocking. Your great too Scott, as the Lord of The Shed of...Doom. You are a master of editing these episodes, keep up the great work.

    This was so enjoyable to watch. The part about the kirk and the history of Red Robert was fascinating. My great grandfather was from Scotland near Edinburgh, and Katie's explanation about many Scots having an inclination towards rebelliousness rang a bell with me, as I've always had that myself, especially towards authority I didn't have respect for. I'm very loyal to authority I do have respect for, but have a deep disdain for unjust authority, or slipshod authority. Whenever I see buildings, especially old churches where nothing's left except the ruins of walls, I always think about the times when it was in use. I think about the people who would have sat in there, singing hymns, praying their prayers, both in good times and in bad. I've always had a great reverence for history, and I greatly appreciate Katie taking the time to show and narrate the history there. Great video!

    The Shawshank Redemption is a novella written by Stephen King. The story takes place in Maine, my home state! I just read the film can be interpreted as Christian mysticism, some of which you have alluded to in your stories of Scotland. Mr. King has a summer home in the town next to mine and we have seen him in his normal daily life. I am happy you are getting your living structures dry! It is hard living in constant dampness.

    Loved the history lesson especially since our family lineage goes back to the Campbells of Argyle. I learned so much from your channel on so many levels. When you called Shawna and she came running, that was adorable. She loves her mom. I had to laugh when I thought about your deer visitor who comes for a quiet sleep and some delicious hay and the poor sheep were being blamed. So funny. Now, how on earth are you going to move that heavy stove up to your cottage. That is going to be a difficult and exhausting job. Good luck…hope it works out for you. Will see in the next episode.🤞🏻❤️🇨🇦

    Most people I know don't put bitumen on anything. I remember building a deck with friends 35 years ago. We coated the joists with creosote. Is bitumen and creosote the same stuff? Now it's all treated wood so creosote doesn't get used much for small building jobs.
    Yes, Stephen King did write The Shawshank Redemption.
