Raptor Painting my truck (...in 19 hours) to get her ready for visiting our land in Scotland!!
Where's the fun in doing things simply? Ever since I bought this truck, I wanted to use up the raptor paint and get her matching our mini fleet of vehicles. However, with winter getting far too close for comfort it became obvious that there wouldn't be much time left in the year for painting. SO, we decided to do it spontaneously over a weekend - with around 19 working hours to complete it, before I needed to head to work on Monday.
It was stressful, tiring, but so worth it.

มุมมอง 4.2K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
Unless you've missed my last couple of videos (in which case I totally recommend you go back to watch them), you'll know that we recently bought some land in Scotland - with the intention to go through the planning stages and build our own relatively-off-grid home.

For the last 5 years I have been living in a van, a journey which started alone and for the last few years has been alongside my girlfriend, Rachel. We spent almost a year living in the van full time and travelling the Scottish Highlands, with a goal in the back of our minds - to ultimately find, and buy, a plot of land that we may someday be able to build our own little off grid home on.

    Lovely plot guys... welcome to the Highlands... that water source is key looks like its at the top of the property which is great... remember gravity is your friend and enables water pressure just be mindful of dwelling position when factoring that in even if you have to fell some trees to get your solar... that softwood is fast growing and very wind blown be careful what you keep... I live on the side of a mountain in the Highlands and the wind can be very unforgiving... with all those ferns and dank brush lets not even get started on the midges hey...the Cairn is an awesome bit of history and is a bonus really... interested in finding out what was there before and watch you put some life back in the place... well done and good luck 😆
