Please please do quality perimeter drainage, PVC perf with lots of 3/4 clear crushed gravel and filter cloth! Where your house is positioned there will be lots of ground water and hydraulic pressure, the previous owner tried to mitigate it with a waterproof membrane on the floors but it’s better to dig outside and get the water away from the house foundation with proper drainage 😉
You won’t ever regret doing it properly!
I would suggest if you think your forest is going to be cut down, I would start planting your own little forest right on the edge of your property. So if they cut down your forest, you will still have lush trees to look at.
Great idea!!!
Defo!!!
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
@@ytc257do you know not everyone wants to have Jesus shoved down their throats constantly

Turn in the copper pipe for money! It’s worth a lot. People actually steal it from abandoned homes
Make sure you sell your copper and scrap metal! You probably have already thought of it x
We love watching you, but everyone in our house laughed our “arses” off every time you, non-ironically, talked about having this stuff all done in 6 months! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At this rate I'll give them 2yrs 😂 jks
@@itsamyyy91and that’s just waiting for the Scottish Planning Department 🤣 (Only joking hopefully 🤞)
Let alone getting the building warrant..
Scotland building regs are so much more complicated than England. Our warrant just for garage conversion took 11 months. When we moved in we were like 6 months it'll be done. It's now 2 years later and not done 😂
We need a coffee table book filled with pics of the various hairstyles of Craig and Aimee. His house reno hairstyle era is fabulous and I am here for it!!! 😂😂😂😂
I was watching w headphones, and my fiance walked up randomly and goes, “I dig his hair….”
We are some 1200 km South of you, a stone farmhouse dominated by the gulfstream. We need to supplement our air source heating with a log burning stove consuming 2 cubic metres of hardwood per winter. DO NOT abandon a log burner in rural Scotland.
We live in southern Ontario in Canada. Our heat pump works most of the year for heating and cooling. When its too cold we have a gas furnace that kicks in to keep the house warm and comfortable.😊
Do you have a mud room incorporated into your plan? A place to remove your Wellies and shrug off and hang your jacket? Leads to more organization and a much cleaner home underfoot. Love your plan! You are great workers and thinkers.
I'm not 100% but I'm sure Aimee mentioned one when they were discussing each design x .. she prob just said somewhere to hang coats..take off boots x
Look into 'swimming ponds' instead of swimming pools. Much better for nature, absolutely beautiful, no chemicals and less maintenance. Would be much more in-keeping with the cottage vibes than a pool 🌱🌻🤿
Take the estimated end-date and double it, guys!! 😅😅 It's gonna be awesome, can't wait to continue on this journey with you!
Flat rooftops are a bad idea, especially where it gets cold, ice, and snow. You need to have some degree of a slant
Agreed. Although I did notice in the architect mockup that the "flat bit" lookes slanted outside so maybe they are just going to make it look Flatter Inside with plaster work
It's not a flat roof if you look at plans, it's slanted. ❤
Agree!
I feel like you guys need Eamon and Bec to come help for a week or so! I’d love that episode!
That would be the best episode ever!
The foamy bit on that plant is the nest of an insect called the froghopper, aka the spittlebug. They’re mostly harmless unless you plan on becoming strawberry farmers.
Growing up we'd call it cuckoo spit 😅
Sorry just said this before coming across the comment you already made 👍🏻
Yes!!! You guys are awesome. My husband and I are shopping around for our next home with 50+ acres so we can raise our animals, grow our own food and plant an orchard. We are also expecting our first baby in October. Your videos give us such joy.
You’re going to be awful busy
@@timbrawdy2249 why would you even say that?
@@ladyeofaniIt was probably supposed to say awesome, sometimes autopilot fills in the wrong words
@@ladyeofani maybe you don’t understand the reference. It means you’re going to be really busyz
@timbrawdy2249 I guess I took it for face value. We already homestead but this will be on a whole new level. Yes, you are right.. we will be busier than ever.
Removing the commercial tree forest will vastly improve the light around your area and add value to the cottage. I love trees too yet you will have a different landscape to explore as new planting slowly reshapes everything over the decades.
Right…sunlight and warmth.
Doesn’t replanting mean chopping down again? Doesn’t that mean your living next door to an industrial sight?
@annelee2005 Its a commercial forest, thats what its grown for. Not the responsibility of previous owners / estate agents / surveyors to inform. Its just a known fact that commercial forests are grown to be cut down. Its not a natural forest , does not create biodiversity and once its farmed, the land can return to its natural state.
We’ve moved into a house that’s had underfloor heating put in in the last 15 years. One year in, our electric bill in the winter is mad. Given you’ve got colder winters, make sure you have the best (or double) the amount of insulation under the heating component. This will help put the heat into the house rather than the ground/foundations. Good luck ❤
They are using an air source heatpump which will heat the water for the underfloor heating. This is more energy efficient than straight up electric.
@@OneLessCar Sure. I don't know any of the details of ours so bear with me. If there is a good option and a better option of stopping the heat going into the ground, then it's better to go with the better option, yes?🙂
I agree - please have a wood burning fireplace/wood stove to supplement your heat pump. Power goes out, you have heat! You will have free wood to burn from clearing your land.
Yeah and get a double burning one with a fan.
I absolutely adore this property! With a growth in youtube content views, subscribers, add revenue, brand deals and sponsorships, merchandise sales, etc.....I believe you can steadily achieve your dreams. There's tremendous potential in this home, though it clearly requires extensive renovation - essentially, starting from scratch or rebuilding from the foundation up. I hope renovating proves more cost-effective than a full demolition and rebuild. Despite the considerable work ahead, I wholeheartedly share your vision and see the magic you envision. I'm genuinely excited about your renovations and wish you both nothing but success.
Hi Craig and Aimee. You asked for suggestions. My first is that you make a highlight reel of every time Aimee has said, "This is going to go into my garden shed" (lol). My second suggestion (I wish I could draw it but will have to try and describe it instead), so here goes. If you want a king bed in your bedroom AND a bedside table each, well it looks like that wall could accommodate that if there was not the requirement for a door into your ensuite. So I would bring your bedroom door about a metre and a half back into the entry hall to your bedroom. Then, as you are looking at entering your bedroom from that hall, put the doorway to your ensuite to your right side there. That will free up the whole wall in your bedroom for the bed and bedside tables.
Everytime I tune in I expect your cottage to just be rubble lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love your enthusiasm, very jealous, would love to do a reno. Husband and I are Before and After addicts...Watching this in our VW in Braemar Campsite...thinking of you down the road!
I´m almost getting more excited to se Aimee's cozy cottage than anything else!
You've probably considered this but I'd lime plaster it, not gypsum plaster. Lime will keep it warmer and allow the walls to breath and protect your stonework
I look forward to your videos every week. You always make me smile ❤️
Crappy days are always made better with KingingIt❤
An air source heat pump in Scotland is not a good plan - speak to your neighbours about that . Also it would help having Scottish architects/ builders etc, they would advise better on things like that - and the flat roof idea 😕
So many people in the UK don't understand heatpumps. Scandinavian countries and Canada use them. The key is good insulation and sizing the system correctly.
@OneLessCar ground source heat pump yes, air source - no . Its a different climate here - damp , not a dry cold like Scandinavia.
Agreed plus electricity costs in scotland @Helen-b1k
I look forward to watch my fellow south wales TH-camrs every Sunday. It always makes me smile
I'm still very distracted by Craig's lack of moustache 😂 I can't stop staring at his lips 🙈
He looks better without it.
I was watching him for ages wondering what was different 😂 makes him look years younger
I agree that he looks much better without it
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
The foamy white froth is what we've always called Cuckoo Spit (Edinburgh area) a white frothy liquid secreted by the nymphs of a sap-sucking true bugs known as a froghoppers. They are also known as spittlebugs.
Yep we had cuckoo spit in Yorkshire too
You guys are the best and my favorite!! I hope all is well with Garry and your Dad.
Thank you Diana!!
@@kingingitomg Garry from Barry should come help with the build! He did wonders on the van!
@kingingit I'm still praying 🙏 you can get some local officials to help you keep your forest 🌳 🌲🌴🌿 even to keep half of it. Isn't there anyone that you can meet with to stop deforestation!! 💔
Air source heat pump will not keep Amy warm enough in the winter in Scotland, I hope you are also installing a log burner as well.
Tell that to all the Canadian, Norwegian and Swedish who use them as standard.
Hello, lovelies! Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 🧡💕🥰❤️🙏🏻
If going ASHP then please add solar and battery storage to save you loads, especially once the woodland is removed and you’ll get more daylight in winter on the solar!
🪴 in the little nook area beside the staircase… you have a beautiful skylight with natural light coming in… 🌿fill it with plants… it will be beautiful walking up and down past it each day….. 🌱
Missing you both,......... prayers that you are both well. Huge HUGS
Between your channel and Escape to Rural France Im loving the building process- you are building a Scottish cottage and Dan is totally renovating a French chateaux that was burnt down to the ground! No floors left nothing but a shell !!!
Couldn’t be more opposite
I would say when you get overwhelmed (and u will be overwhelmed as all builds do!!)to just have a little pop over to his channel and see his daily blog 19:24
Loving your channel 🎉🎉
The fastener that came out of the wall is called a toggle bolt in the states. They are used to attach things to the drywall when you cannot find or hit a wood stud.
Some versions are called molly bolts. Usefull for holding up heavy things on a sheet rock wall. When you unscrew them properly the toggle part falls off the screw and just lands in the wall space behind. But since you're tearing out the wall anyway it's a moot point.
How to build a cottage with Craig and Aimee...sign me up. The basketball court and fireplace negotiations between Craig and Aimee are fascinating. I am taking notes. I especially love how Aimee is saving the old materials/furniture for repurposing. I love everything she picks out. She's got an eye for good design. ❤ I cannot wait to experience the Bike Charity! 🎉
If I were you guys I’d Find my property line that backs onto the forest and plant your own trees that won’t get cut down ❤ , LOVE LOVE LOVE this chapter of kinging it.
I am building my house now and if I learned anything, it’s that you need to be pessimistic with the timeline. If you think you’ll be done by Christmas with those projects, it’ll probably be April or even June. I’ll be rooting for you guys to be done though! Y’all can do it!!!
Loving it! I recognize you do a lot of work you don't film. I know filming slows down the progress. Slow and steady wins the race. I am loving watching you guys having fun yet working hard.
Hugs from 🇨🇦
The snug Is necessary. Always nice to have a second sitting area for different light, activities, and some separate space. Maybe I missed it but a shower, toilet, and sink on each floor is a Must! Good luck! 🍀 🔨🏴
Getting an air source heat pump in scotland is absolutely mental. Look into it a bit more and mayne speak to people that have them. It's going to cost you a fortune in electricity! They do not work as well as they're supposed to.
Imagine the cost of 2KW + running almost 24hrs a day in the winter.
So many people in the UK don't understand heatpumps. Scandinavian countries and Canada use them and you don't hear this fear mongering rhetoric. The key is good insulation and sizing the system correctly.
Exactly. So an old stone built cottage that's having the insulation removed. Probably not the best idea. Also, the ones used in Scandinavian countries are significantly better. Thanks for proving my point. Not sure about the anti uk rhetoric tho....
So happy for you guys and what an amazing oasis this will be for you two!❤ I hope Aimee’s dad is doing okay as well! Praying for you guys!❤️
Where are eamon and Bec….. the Renovations pros❤
@@haanimely981 they’ve not long had baby, they’ve a couple new videos out!! :)
They’re back in their cabin- shown today!!
I would be tempted to put on a Gambrel roof to open up the interior head space, provide a bit of a "barn-like" look for a country style, and allow for as many windows as you want upstairs. The benefit is that you wouldn't have those pokey little bedroom ceilings that people thunk their heads on when sitting up in bed.
The other thing I might do, after the house is built, is add on a pergola over your patio off the bedroom. The pergola can offer shade, or partial shade, with draped canvas panels between to joists that can be stretched out or pushed back depending on how much sun you want.
Not sure the amount of sun in Scotland would merit a structure to shade from the sun! I say this because I grew up in NH, which has a similar level of cloud-cover.
Oh my days 😂😂😂😂😂I was peeing myself laughing when you put that camouflage on...I'm still laughing 😂😂😂😂
I have one tip that I could contribute with! 😅 To switch the fridge door handle to the left side! That's easily done nowadays.. 😃Then you have a more convenient way of getting stuff from the fridge and putting them down on the countertop, without having to walk around an open fridge door. You also could utilize the daylight to see more into your fridge. Good luck in your renovation!! 💕💪👷♀👷♂
I only discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago but I'm hooked! Initially I started watching for your cottage renovation but loved you guys, and your humour, kancho, so much, I've started watching your travel episodes. God, you make me laugh! 🤣🤣🤣
I am so glad I found your videos. I have watched all of them now and have enjoyed laughing and crying right along with you. Mostly laughing!!! Your sponsorship ads are the only ones I watch because how entertaining you are. Congrats on the cottage. I can't wait to watch all the progress. Hopefully you don't lose to much of your forest. Take care guys. Love ya😃💙💚💛💜👍
Kinging It Baby!
You’re in Scotland now…… squash it is not….. diluting juice it is 😙
Love it ALL ❤
Or mixing up juice
The heat pump is a really bad idea in Scotland.
So many people in the UK don't understand heatpumps. Scandinavian countries and Canada use them. The key is good insulation and sizing the system correctly.
@@OneLessCar They don’t work if you have power cuts. We often have power cuts in rural Scotland in the winter, sometimes you can have several a month.
Love it when you upload your latest news. Bealtaine Cottage is a channel where the love,y lady bought arable land and a house and totally renovated it and bulit her own forests of native trees. I'm just saying you can slowly make your own natural forest haven to enjoy.
Always look forward to vlogs! You two bring so much joy into our lives.
I cannot get enough of people pouring love and time and energy into old spaces. You guys are bringing life to a place that in time will bring you life. SO beautiful!!! Your "Next Day" made me think of Little Bunny Foo Foo -- "So the NEXT day..." Also, I love bagel burgers. It's always an adventure because you hope none of your sauces come pooing out the holes! I always throw them in the pan I cooked the patties in and soak up the extra oil and seasonings that would otherwise wash down the drain and give the bread a nice, little toast. SO good!! Also, you're really getting a bit of solid bread. LOVE it! Craig and his side eye - LOL!!!!! The challenge! YES! . . and Gary!!!
Air source DONT DO IT seriously take advice from a small indy plumber expect your energy costs to bloat 3-5xv any current alternatives.........
That celotex looks in pretty good condition, you should save-expensive stuff. Glad you're having fun with all the demo, can't wait to see how you get on ❤
You are the champions. We will always cheer you along. I know you will manage too as the forest is harvested. You might then cheer on new saplings. Consider the Solar gains for proper gardens.
Don't bin that copper, the price is through the roof just now
Its a commercial forest, thats what its grown for. Not the responsibility of previous owners / estate agents / surveyors to inform. Its just a known fact that commercial forests are grown to be cut down. Its not a natural forest , does not create biodiversity and once its farmed, the land can return to its natural state.
Thanks Debbie downer
Actually, he's right: the one-species tree farm is a "biological desert." There's nothing for species like deer to eat, and nowhere for them to hide. I adore wildlife even more than beautiful views, and there's nothing better than having lots of wildlife in a thriving ecosystem. This property can be even better in the future, with a bit of planning!
If you have room in the bedrooms you could put the dorma 'balcony' windows in.
You two are amazing people, all you do for mental health. Thanks for sharing.
6 months is very optimistic, can tell you’ve not renovated anywhere before lol I also would recommend doing surveys and checks before purchase, you may have been able to find out about the forest being felled
Don't you think those who sold this land knew that the forest was about to be cut down????
The forest is probably why everyone bid high. Money should be refunded to you from the seller and or the realtors on both sides who are paid to research since this happened so quickly they knew.
Buyer beware !!
The very same thought crossed my mind too. I think you should ask around and see if the seller knew about this. You don’t just decide to chop a forest down so quickly. The time scale between selling and buying and chopping doesn’t add up!
It's also the responsibility of buyers to research. In the US, National Forests similar to this have long range plans available 10-20yrs out. Plenty of heads up on when areas will be logged. If you buy near public land, it's always a good idea to look at their long range plans. Unfortunately, you just have to look at this forest to know it's commercial and not a thriving healthy forest. Enjoy it while you can, vote towards more sustainable logging methods, and hope a more biodiverse, native ecosystem is created in the future.

Sellers are only responsible for letting you know about the property itself. Not the properties around it. There’s no “refunds” on home purchases unless there is something major that was kept hidden about the property you’re buying.
That stairway is gorgeous, surprises around every corner. So EXCITING 😁
P.s love watching your videos! Thanks for letting us be apart of this journey with you!🎉
It seems like you really don't want a traditional old cottage, but a very modern house.
It’s so fun to follow along on your journey while we are also Renovating a little cottage in the US. Love watching your videos and seeing all the progress you guys are making!!!! Can’t wait to see the garden cottage with all the little vintage pieces you are trying to save as well!!! Thanks for sharing!
I'd do the exact same thing! This is so well planned and while it does look modestly modern it keeps the spirit of the old house. This is gonna be so beautiful.
This is fun watching you guys renovate your cottage. Craig! I'm really digging your longer hair and your hair styles.😊
We’ve been waiting for our Building Warrant for 9 months! Or cottage is similar to yours and the extension is not as big as yours! Nothing complicated.
lol I go through 20lbs of birdseed every week and a half and I don’t live in the country or a wooded area. Once they know you’ll keep refilling it, they will eat you out of house and home 😂
Same with me! Food out and nothing for about a month. Now even if I fill up five times a day it’s not enough! I live on a housing estate too. Countryside close by. Costs a fortune!😂. I also had a nesting box up for six years and it was never used. This year it has been! I was as thrilled and just sat watching them pop in and out! So nice!😊
@@Chrissyhappy I started putting it out so that my cats would be entertained by the birds but now I’m more invested in them 😂 I also now gets squirrels, chipmunks, bunnies, pigeons, cardinals, blue jays and so many others. My neighbors tell me it’s like being in a Disney movie when they pull up and see all the critters 😂
Sp glad you'll get to enjoy being surrounded by nature! Hubby & I retired to a nature-surrounded home in the Arkansas Ozarks, where today a mother deer is browsing in full view of the living room windows, with her THREE fawns hiding in the shrubs. It never gets old!
One suggestion would be to build your swimming pool inside a winter garden - Scotland's not the Bahamas, mates. Yet!
I absolutely am in love with your show. I love your personalities your quirkiness. And you do a commercial really good I'm new to your station but catching up quick. I love the birdhouse
LOL you make iced coffees the way I do. I'm an expat aussie living in the US. And also planning our next trip to Scotland for next year....
This is gonna be amazing guys! One thing I’d change is the walk in wardrobe. Not sure if I’ve understood correctly but do you have to go through your bathroom to get to the wardrobe? If so, what happens if someone is in the bathroom and you want your clothes? Is there a way to have built in wardrobe elsewhere? Or some people have the walk in wardrobe on the way to the bathroom. Food for thought! Can’t wait to see this all unfold
I needed to stop by and tell you how much I appreciate you. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and having a positive vibe on this world.
I totally understand the renovations we renovated our whole main floor, now we didn’t do it but had to live upstairs for months and now we are trying to clean out my dads tool shed as he passed away a couple years ago. And it has been crazy and so many dump runs etc! Keep going you guys are doing great
I love your channel! It has gotten me through my cancer journey. I think that you all should start planting trees on the very edge of your property, to create your own lush forest. Just in case they come in and cut your neighboring trees down, you can still enjoy your trees.
I have a question and it may be silly but when all of the trees are removed, I am worried how this may effect your property. I am picturing the water running down your hill with your New house and possibly creating water damage not only to the new structures but also creating drainage issues for your land. Might this be a problem with the rainy and snow melting seasons in the furture?
Think twice about the heat pump, if anything like ours your house will be freezing in a proper scottish winter
Maybe a few heat pumps? Ours does pretty well in our west coast Canadian winter down to about -5C
@lindyloo12345 it can get to - 20 in our highland winters
the both of yous are just simply amazing people, your home reno gonna be just perfect. the charity event gonna be amazing. love you both and you're videos
Loove the plan! Here a silent viewer but as an interior junkie I need to comment: lovely design, great ideas! look into harmonica windows!!! And if you install one: make sure that the floors of inside and outside are on the same level and create an inside-outside connection.
If Craig gets basketball court then Aimee gets a swimming pool.🤷🏻♀️
Enough money for a plot of land with the costs of removing most of the old... nice, but you can actually build anything on the plot.
Hey Aimee & Craig your plans for your home appear to be amazing!! What type of heating will you have in new cottage? I have hydronic heating from gas boiler & it’s winter here, it’s warm & safe! 🥶😶🌫️ That copper is worth so much!! Aimee with a sledgehammer & camouflage outfit is very entertaining 😂 Don’t you two have enough challenges with renovations & now a new challenge in Sept for charity? 💜💙🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺
The drill with the chisel for breaking concrete is actually named Mr Judder…. I recommend this naming process for all tools, for example, your wellies are mr and mrs wellington, the shovel is sir cloudsley shovel (be sure to look him up for when someone asks).
Oh, I forgot, mr judders actually come in lots of different sizes, so I have a mr judder, a brother judder, and a grandad judder (he’s for concrete slabs).
🤣🤣🤣
I'm so happy when I see you guys have posted a new video! Your enthusiasm is an absolute delight, and everything you're doing to fix up this "diamond in the rough" is fascinating & informative!
Craig and Aimee, Lee would be so proud of you guys.
Aimee and Craig, congrats on the Welsh bicycle charity event👏👏👏👏👏
You two are very good at demolition!❤️❤️
I JUST JOINED THE CHARITY RIDE....!!! .. time for loads of fun and a numb bum...!
consider a water-source heat-pump (does your well provide sufficient water capacity?).....it is LOADS more efficient (thus less expensive to operate, meaning solar could provide much/all of the required power).
Don’t forget to have a plan for your computer network infrastructure! You really don’t want to rely on Wi-Fi for all of your computers, phones, tablets, TVs and cameras. Make sure you work with the architect and the builder(s) to install some Ethernet cables in your buildings so that you can hard wire your kit together, and I would also encourage you to run some buried fiber optic cables between the cottage and the barn so that everything can be hard wired together. You’ll be very grateful that you did it!
I've just found you on here and love you guys. I haven't long moved to Scotland in the Highlands in a caravan and love it, let's see if I love it in winter though xx
Hello one of my fav TH-camrs. I always get excited about your posts and always look forward to Sundays to see yall. You two are a hoot that has grown on me ticker. I just love ya and am excited to see the progress of your lives…
Thank you so much!!
All my favourite people in one video!!! ❤ Sarah on the sofa 😂
I’ve had the worst couple weeks.. just opened me TH-cam to try relax… and there you both are 🥺 things are looking great guys!
Sorry to hear that mate. Hope things are looking up xx
@@kingingit thanks lovelies ❤️
@@kingingit also.. where may I find your PO Box? :)
You two are absolutely adorable! I love the fat bird cafe! It is such a joy to watch your videos! I'm so excited to see this project come to fruition! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
By which Christmas? ..... Just asking. Get trades to do the waterproofing, drainage and roof so it doesn't have to be redone any time soon. I know you want all the things, but the basics are worth paying to do right. You can get a sauna and all the rest after the house is dried in, sealed up, and has heat.
