The last few days have been epic. Finally we are rebuilding! By the weekend the entire ground floor of the east wing will be in place, the spinal corridor rebuilt and we’ve only one more room of rubble to clear. Feeling quite accomplished but still so much more to do #culdeesrenovation
Had a lovely afternoon out with the girls today at our local sunflower trail 🌻🌻🌻🌻 another great local attraction for our Glampers. @gloagburn #gloagburnsunflowers
Fun Friday has been awesome today. Our fabulous first Culdees brides came for a voluntary day. @_mandymunro used her volunteer leave with her employer @sthreeuki to give back and support Culdees Castle Estate. The three of us cleared 3 tonnes of rubble from the castle floor, salvaging original bricks, marble, tiles and mouldings! Thank you Mandy and thank you SThree! We are extremely grateful for all the support! They worked so hard #culdeesrenovation
We are beyond excited to get my idea for the replacement chapel windows back from our friends at RDW glass. Love love it and can’t wait for them to be reinstated. Check out their other awesome work @www.rdwglass.com @richwelsh
The girls and I nipped over to buy some lavender oil from our local suppliers today. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon in the sun. It also smells amazing! I think we will add this to our Glampers guide book. #scottishlavenderoils #culdeesglamping #visitscotland
Today I cleaned the chapel up after the build and finally had that little dance down the aisle 💃 soo excited to start the roof and walls. #culdeesrenovation #culdeesweddingsandevents
Two years ago I bought a little cupboard with the idea to make into a sink unit for the Mansion house. This has got to be the longest room renovation ever! Trying to get a downstairs loo and cloakroom built whilst working on the castle at the same time is tough going. I’m not very good at being patient so I’m quite pleased with myself. Using my old cupboard as a size guide, we removed the old kitchen and put up a dividing wall to separate the room into two rooms. I’m really pleased with the result 🤩 #culdeesrenovation #woodchipandmagnolia #farrowandball
Sorry for lack of posts over the last few days, we’ve been down to Kent to catch up with my family and friends for a couple of days. Much needed rest and fun. Back to it tomorrow with fresh minds and rested bodies.
Hollie and George have been enjoying the company of one of our cats. Socks looks quite happy too 😆 happy glamping guys. #culdeesglamping
And we have a chapel floor! Woo hoo 🥳🙌 little more work needed on this over the next week or so and I’ll be dancing on this! #culdeesrenovation
Rob and I spent the day clearing more rubble from the servants hall. Todays treasures include a lovely radiator and a fireplace with grate. Can’t wait to finish clearing this room it’s been such a long journey and one we thought we would never finish. Rebuilding the walls and ceilings is soo close we just keep at it. #culdeesrenovation
As Rob is away on business I donned my @dewalttoolsuk tee and stood in as Steve’s apprentice. I’m sure I was just as good and also managed to tell him labour my other crazy ideas for the chapel 😆 #culdeesrenovation #culdeescastle #dewalttools #womenwithpowertools
Today has been a milestone kinda day. The new timber is going into the castle to form the chapel floor and kitchen ceiling. It might not look much but boy it’s been hard work to get to the exciting rebuild stage 🤩#culdeesrenovation
Who wants to see inside the castle? Thanks to our recent Glampers @hottubgetaways for these fab pics #culdeesrenovation
