Congratulations on 40,000 subscribers. I watch your Chanel every week from Manchester, Kentucky in the USA.
Thank you so much!! 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats on 40000 subscribers! The byre is looking great, can't wait to see how you set it up.
Hello and Congratulations to you Sarah, Willie, and Jack Spaniels. You reached 40k subscribers. Been watching your channels for a while now, and I am so happy for your growth. Greetings from the U.S.A.
Was it just me, or did anyone else want to clap when they finished the drywall?!?! Great job guys!
I clapped and cheered. 😁😁Yaaaay !
I did!! 😂
No
So let me see if I have this right; I have watched a video of a young couple digging a hole, picking and arranging wild flowers, hacking up bits of insulation board and fitting bits of plaster board - and for some unknown reason not only have I enjoyed the experience but it appears that 40,000 other people are equally fascinated. Next week we will all watch you painting the plaster board and I, for one, am particularly looking forward to seeing the paint dry. The only explanation can be your vibrant personalities and infectious joy of life. I reckon your subscriber numbers will double if you can teach Jack to juggle. Thank you for sharing your fun and for all the hard work you put into video production.
Ahahaha - honestly we are as mind blown as you are 😅 But we are so glad you’re enjoying the videos and will of course begin Jack’s juggling lessons with immediate effect, although he does tend to get quite distracted by tennis balls 🤦♀️
Congratulations Sarah, Willy and Jack on your well deserved 40k subscribers. ❤
Sarah & Willie, when you first moved to Skye, it was almost impossible to imagine the conversion of the byre. Your vision stayed strong, though! Seeing what you have accomplished is nothing short of amazing!! This week's video was so full of fun things! Thank you again for sharing your life on Skye with all of us. Your precious Jack standing sentry outside the byre will be pictured prominently in my mind this week! He melts my heart! ♥ You have a great week, all of you!
Really nice to see you digging again, Willie! Love watching you three go through your new life on Skye! What a beautiful place!
There’s nowhere more beautiful than Skye. Have been many times. Great job guys x
We agree! 😊
I’m not surprised at all by your channel growth- I subscribe to many home improvement/life change/lifestyle channels and you two have it all & then some- you’re great at editing and balancing the calming scenery, the storytelling and highlighting your many talents. Mr. Jack Spaniels is a wonderful bonus. 💜 Be sure to get those timelapses so you can do a million view super cut! :)
❤Your cottage will seem HUGE when you get all your art and music things out❤
OMG! LOL! Jack Spaniel’s combover!! Too funny! Congrats on finishing the drywall! You two make a best videos!!
All the odd angles only gives your workspaces character! . You have great neighbors and all the sheep on a road race! Hi Jack
What an accomplishment guys, the studios are nearly there! Laughed out loud at Jacks "comb-over" and taken by surprise by Willie's Gregorian chant! 😄The flower arrangement, using the unearthed jar, was so beautiful Sarah- maybe a watercolor inspiration??! 🥰
The rooms look huge with the drywall up! Nice job with all those angles! Jack being a patient boy (with a comb-over) outside the byre door, was so CUTE!
I love your enthusiasm and joy and look forward to seeing more each week.
Having Cows in your back garden 😍🐄🐄 Now that is living the dream.
Hooray! Sheetrock is complete! Well done to Jack Spaniels and his crew.
You guys are amazing! Loved going digging with you Willie and picking those beautiful flowers with you Sarah and Jack, well Jack, you are always a star ✴️ can’t wait for next week ❤
What a wonderful and unique byre. Hard work pays off. Can’t wait to see the future final results!
The byre is looking more cosy every week. Well done!😊
What a transformation of an old cowshed into a 21st century studio! Of course it’s going to be wonky on the inside, which will only add to its charm.
Willie and Sarah, have you heard of a bottle tree? The intact bottles that aren't too exciting can be put on a "tree" out in the garden and can even be lit up! Colored bottles are lovely out in a garden!
Dry wall is something I'd never want to do. It's so much work and so dusty. It was the worst part of the remodel but it's done!!!! Great job, and it looks amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing it done, but mot as much as you 2 are. Congratulations on 40K!
Congratulations on getting 40K subscribers 🎉, you are well deserved it!! You will be on 100K in no time…. Enjoy the warm weather there ❤❤
I loved the flower picking with Sarah and the jokes from Willie inside losing his mind 😅 Thanks for sharing! ❤
Those black speckled catapillers are going to turn into Peacock Butterflies 🦋
Oh my goodness the tiny baby finches on the fence with the mountain behind them - loved this little moment so much! They would make a wonderful painting.
Aww thanks! They were super cute 😊Sarah wants to make paintings of all our garden birds at some point!
Hip hip hooray!!! Another stage completed!!! 🎉🎉🎉
And those fledgling finches! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yay! Look what you did! Beautiful light for Sarah's painting & beautiful music/room for Willie. Incredible effort! I thought your Bottle digging was mad physical work. Such personal improvements to a magical place. Blessings of Youthful Joy❣
So nice to see you digging for bottles Willie! Great job on the drywall, I have done it, it sucks!! Beautiful arrangement Sarah!
Its so beautiful there. I'm an American with no ties to the UK so no luck on trying to purchase a home anywhere is Scotland but I sure can dream. Love your home.
Always excited when i get the notification of a new video from you two and jack spaniel 🙂
Aww thanks!!
Congrats on 40K! Congrats on the work you’ve accomplished on the byre. Loved the little bottle dig, Willie. And Sarah, your flowers arrangement is beautiful.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉40K🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏 Awesome job. You are nearly done.
Great to see you bottle digging again, the studio is taking shape all the hard work is paying off
Hello Willie, Sarah and Jack, The byre looks fantastic. Just a bit of mudding and some paint and of course moving in. Miss the bottle digging video's so thank you for sharing. Have a blessed week and take care.
The Byre looks so much bigger! Well done both of you. Love watching your channel.
Great show today !! 💖 Luv ya bunches, Willie and Sarah 💖
Thanks so much!!
You look happier and more beautiful as your well being increases with the lovely life that you re creating for yourselves. You are truly inspirational. Bless you all. Kate.x
You two are so impressive. Congrats on a job well done. Jack looked so dejected this episode. Having to stay outside and watch does not seem like it’s his favorite thing. Good luck this next week.
I like watching a bottle hunter here in the United States that turns broken bottles into glasses. He uses the bottles that has writing or symbols and turns them into different sized glasses. Recycling the otherwise unusable bottles. Great work on the byre!
Willie did this too on his other channel!
You both did a fabulous job with your new offices! I can’t wait for the finished project to be completed. I know it will be the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Looks great! I love the wonky walls, but my favorite part is still the door. It will be amazing when it’s finished! You should be very proud! Love the old bottles you discover, Willy. They are so pretty and the history behind them is fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
I think a Jack Spaniels pawprint would make a cute t-shirt idea 🐾🐾
you absolutely have to create that black t-shirt with the white paw prints of Jack Spaniels. That would be brilliant merch.
aww! great progress guys! Jack's been so good sitting patiently waiting for you to throw his lump of wood! 😄you never look like a numpty Sarah 🤗 but a wee heads up when Willie fancies going all operatic on you would help! 😂 that wee jar/vase and flowers turned out lovely!💜 love the angled/crooked walls! it's gonna be cosy with lots of character! a lick of paint & those wee studios will be cracking!💛 have a great week! 💛
So pleased that the plasterboard is finished! What a tedious boring job for you and Jack Spaniels was fed up too! Loved seeing the baby goldfinches on your feeders they are so cute! Very interesting to see the old bottles Willie. Take care everyone and see you soon, I love this channel x
What a brilliant job! I’ve done a bit of work with plasterboard, so know just how messy it can be, and not being flexible, has to be cut exactly to shape! You’re work spaces are going to be so special! Thank you all for another inspiring and uplifting video. The goldfinch fledglings were the icing on the cake!
40k well done and what good dry lining for a first time you never no what you can do till you try tc now the oldies 👋👍👋👍⭐️🍾
I’m delighted you hit 40k. Well deserved, your films are lovely to watch.
I’d give my eye teeth to have a byre as shonky as yours 😆 You guys are smashing it 👍
What a big job you have both been working on!!! The byre is looking lovely!!! WELL DONE and what a piece of heaven you live in!!!!! Always look forward to your videos!!! xxxx
Great video Willie and Sarah. Loved the fledglings, very adorable. The flowers were beautiful and I loved the bottle dig. I have been missing the bottle digs. Thanks.
Yeah, you guys make my sunday😊
Aww thanks!!
Many congratulations on your 40 K subscribers, you are such a lovely couple and deserve your popularity, and very well done with the work you put in this week on the Byre. Of course it was only possible with the help of Jack. You are the highlight of my Sunday, See you next week.
It was good to see Willie digging again. I can't wait till you get to walk and paint again, Sarah. It's fun to see your progress here, but I miss your other channels.
Great to see you are almost there with the byre. I love that you haven't got straight, boring lines. Its so much better with wonky bits. 'Character', its called. Such a lot of work! But how exciting to have your own crafty/singy places ☺
Congrats on 40,000 subscribers!! Fun watching you work, adventuring and just living the Skye life!!
Dear Skye life couple.
👍👌👏 2) I definitely like it much better if a room/ceiling is not as straight/uniform than in new buildings. Adds more character to a room, at least in my opinion respectively for my personal kind of taste. 3) What a wonderful environment you're living in. Congrats. 4) I simply can't believe, that Jack Spaniels stayed dry while the whole video. 😁 ;-)
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular. To all involved life forms of course (humans, animals and plants).
Good morning Willie Sarah & wee jack .
That nice broken glass with the star on the bottom of it ! You could done a wee drinking glass out of it ⭐️🥃
Love the work. I so remember our first home. It was a ton of work but we loved it.
Well done Sarah best looking labourer I’ve ever seen😊
Love your videos. Thanks for keeping us up to date on your project(s) progress!
I’m hungry and you didn’t have a cooking part…
Really tho I loved it all.
Willie digging more bottles ( I wish you’d taken the broken bottle with the star on its base to cut down).
Drill a couple of holes to suspend it for more flowers that Sarah can cut from the wild flowers.
Poor Jack Spaniels having to wait patiently at the door.
All in all what a lot of work you have done! Wow👍
I’d like to see the surprised look on Richard’s face when he sees all you’ve done.
Next time spend some time in the hammock haha with your beer.
Excellent work Willie and Sarah. I love the wonkiness of the byre 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So much fun to watch, no wonder you have 40,000, congratulations!
Congrats on 40.000 subs i never doubted you'ed get there and beyond your charming personalities and skilled filming draw everyone in and Mr.Jack is the icing on the cake.Hip Hip Hurrah Karl from eastern Canada
Congratulations on your 40K subscribers Willie & Sarah, well done and keep up the good work...
Love the birds on the wire at the end
Well done you two ! You’ll have such a sense of satisfaction when it’s all done 👍 I’m finding your chat about your ‘ bo’les’ really interesting Willie 👍
The Byre is looking amazing already - I can’t wait to see it finished! Have a great week
Being on holiday, in Cyprus, has not stopped us from tuning in for the latest episode. Keep up the good work guys! We love Skye so much that we called one of our spaniels Storr. The other one is Jett and is black just like your Jack.
loved seeing the birds
Becoming a regular Sunday night ritual in this house. Kettle on at 5.55 then sofa for 6. Love it . Long may enjoy your new lifestyle.
I am from Stranraer. Nice to see something from our local area all the way in Skye ❤️
Congratulations on 40000, so well deserved. Delightful.
Grand job you too. Love to you and Jack spaniels.👍🤗
My goodness, you two have worked so hard on that insulating and plaster boarding! Great with the digging for treasure i.e. bottles and marmalade pots. Great to be able to use what you found too. To think what life they had before you found them. Love the wild flowers, and the Red Admiral beautiful butterfly. Those caterpillars looked amazing! Jack Spaniels is looking as good as ever. xxx
I can see how the the glass bottle digging would get addictive. They were lovely. The byre is nearly there well done guys, Richard will be proud of you both.
Great effort with the finishing of the byre, guys. Nice to see you hunting bottles again Willie; with that kind of rocky terrain may need a jackhammer and Sarah to assist!?
Well done on the subscribers front! And yes, those are peacock butterfly caterpillars.
SO excited to see Willie doing digging again!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee.........congrats on hitting 40k subscribers!!! 😍 Its well earned as your content and editing is 100%. I remember my first introduction to the Scottish midge. I had a white car at the time and fortunately they seemed more interested in that than me! Fantastic job you both made of insulating the Byre....good enough to live in now!!
I love to watch your bottle dig but the work on your new property is very fun to watch! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
My cat went full attention in front of the TV with the birds (inside cat), ty for the entertainment for my cat 😊
Nice video😊
Our cat too! He jumped up on the entertainment unit and then looked all around the room very puzzled when the birds disappeared. Indoor cat enrichment 😂
@@karenrogers9327 😅 awe precious
your first summer wow so much achieved since you stared, it all looks great. thank you.
Awesome job Willie and Sarah. Certainly was a crazy room to plasterboard for sure.
As I have said before this is a favourite
I love watching you guys
So exciting watching all of this taken shape
You are living my dream ❤
So nice to see some bottle digging!
Congratulation on 40 000 we love you thank you
I’m late to the plate this week …usually waiting for the Sunday night notification…just need to say what a cracking video this is …absolutely amazing.. Congratulations and well done for hitting the 40,000 …I found the page when you were video no 3 ..since then I’ve watched and I’ve loved everyone….…wouldn’t miss them for anything ❤
The byre is going to look amazing when you guys are finished, it's come a long way.
Mate, you need to tape the joints…even if the walls were being plastered the joints would all be scrimed…will be cracks everywhere if you don’t🙁
Brilliant again!! Been watching all your videos and LOVE watching you living the dream. It inspires me!!! THANK YOU both!!!
You both are doing a fantastic job. I love watching you both each week, but especially Jack spaniels. Great job you two. I wish I could trade places with either of you.
Well there you two are. Living the life. Glad to find you.
Great job folks. But you've just got to get a T Shirt out with Jack's paw print fantastic.😁
Cute idea.
Great video. The byre is looking really good. Loved seeing all the little goldfinches so sweet . 🐱 X
Honestly you guys, I’m in complete awe of what you have achieved in only a few months. Can’t wait to see the finished article. I bet you can’t either😂❤
Cani just say, you have both done so well….you worked so hard….I look forward to the finished article. Love Joan x
