I'd love to do this but the logistics seem daunting: where do you dump all your debris? Where do you find power tools and plaster and tiles? Who makes the custom doors? How do you find all these things in the new country where (I assume) you don't speak the language?

Wow, wow, wow. You must be excited and proud, you should be. It's hard to believe it's the same place, absolutely stunning already. ❤

Great job! We were remodeling a house and every time we were hauling some piece of it out to the trash a neighbor would say "and that's why you bought this house, because you loved it so much."

@OurItalianDreamHouse

Hahaha, love that Well, I think that people who have not remodelled an old property have very little understanding for that no matter how much you love something, it's not worth keeping if it's in too bad condition. We would have loved to keep both the terracotta floors and the green terrazzo, but then we would have to live in a house without heating or electricity (since they put the tubes for all of that under the floor) and the outer wall would risk separating from the rest of the house and fall down on the neighbour. We also learnt along the way that it's so hard to judge the real state of things at the viewing. We absolutely overestimated the condition of the floors and plaster for example. Oh well, lesson learnt the hard way haha

@@OurItalianDreamHouse Well if it were in great condition it probably would have been out of your price range is how I look at it. My husband and I have something we always say to each other when working "take out anything that isn't a nice house." We also repeat our neighbors words and laugh! We have remodeled eight houses in our 49 year old marriage, still doing one now in our 70's, it gets in your blood.

That is a HUGE amount of labor investment. I'm wondering...why not keep the beautiful terra cotta tile flooring in that large room...? 🤔 ...Granted, I'm only 6+ minutes into the video...and I see that you did eventually begin salvaging them, rather than smashing. The bones of the farmhouse are incredible. Those ancient bricks! 😍 I was glad to see you finally got a WHEELBARROW! Those enormous terrazzo tiles are gorgeous. The completed onsuite/bathroom: 👍🏻 Love the tiled patio.

@OurItalianDreamHouse

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! 😊 The reason we remove the terracotta tiles is because the floor under needed reinforcing (eg remove the old sand and loose cement and replace with a proper concrete slab). The tiles had also been painted with several layers so it was impossible to remove them without having several tiles breaking.

Rewatch the part of the video where they are applying the dark paint. You will see that the dark portion of the wall appears to look farther away from you than the older white portion. Dark paint can make a wall visually recede and actually increase the apparent size of the room.
