Suggest that you remove that Ivy. It is probably causing the cracks that have allowed the damp to get behind the plaster. I would make fixing those a priority. You are in for plenty of hard work, but it will be worth it for sure. Best wishes to you.

I subscribed. But I have one wish: could you make english subtiteles for you conversations in italian when you talk to people ? That would be nice 😊❤

The Terrazzo floor is beautiful. They do have companies who clean them with a machine and that really brought mine back to life. Best advice I can give you is get a lot of estimates on new double insulated windows and doors. I had my entire house windows and doors replaced and it was only about 4,500 euros. Sounds like a lot, but will make a huge difference in keeping your house warm and cool. Do you know how you are going to heat your house? Electricity is very expensive here. I bought 1 small pellet stove and a second large one. It heats my house well. BTW ACE is a strong brand of bleach. Also there is a 2 part paint you can use on your bathtub until you wish to replace it. Easy to apply and once dried, won't peel off. I am very interested in your progress. You both work so hard.

Greetings from Kyiv, Ukraine. Your courage and determination are impressive. I actually finished a project similar to yours just before the start of the war, so I know how much work and patience it takes. But it's definitely worth it because house has great potential. I hope to somehow contribute and will eagerly await the next episodes.

Even just the cleaning brings a huge sense of accomplishment! Well done, guys! 💪 🎉

Forza ragazzi, un posto magico

Ok for the Q&A what is the ultimate plan? Are you fixing this up and moving south? Can you do a walk about in town? How many beds/baths? Is it bigger than the Molise house? Town population? Can your animals come next visit? Your cat needs to do her inspection for mice 😂 plus she will like to stand on that balcony.

Wow. Questa vista sul balcone è bellissima

Love the views and the balcony is large enough to sit out there and have your coffee. Can’t wait to see all your renovations.

Great value for money I'd say. Great views. Though I'd probably not bother about cleaning that bathroom. Get a camping toilet for the time being and just get it renovated first thing. I'm amazed how easy the plaster comes off. Hope we'll see nice stone ceilings soon😍. Good to hear about all the little problems you're facing with the providers of water and electricity. 2 months for a contract. Would have never thought about that... Good luck. I'll follow along

New subscriber...since I was just coincidentally in Abruzzo and stayed in Teramo, and visited two smaller local villages. Very beautiful spot, but man, the work ahead is intimidating. Following your lead. Please, show us a bit of the local people, culture, more food too. I have a couple restaurant suggestions in Teramo to dig up from my receipt pile.

You have such wonderful light and incredible views from this house! And incredible vaulted ceilings. I love it! You have made a good first start. Bit by bit it will come together. Thanks for sharing.

Morning Fiorella & Aiden, do you guys have a little laser measuring device, their awesome and I’d highly recommend it, also can you get gumption cleaning paste over there? it would be awesome to clean the bathroom, and definitely get rid of ALL the ivy as it will suck all the moisture out the mortar in the stonework. Love their episode 💖Shell 🇦🇺

Hi Fiorella and Aden! It's so exciting to follow you guys on this journey. Your house is so big and bright. I can see all the potential it has to be an amazing home. Fiorella, I had some stains on a tub once and the only thing that removed them was a liquid called, "CLR, Calcium, Lime and Rust remover." I bought it on Amazon. I hope it helps!

@Our19KHome

Thanks. I didn't think about CLR. Used it in OZ for other things so thanks for the reminder

It seems like moving to small town Italy is like paying cheap on a solid house and investing on the beautiful views! Awesome! Why Abruzzo though?

Love the size of the main rooms, and what a view.

Definitely need an industrial cleaner

You need to ask your neighbours if they are willing to connect a hose, so you have water. It is going to be extremely difficult to clean otherwise.

What a great project and what a view! The loose and discoloured plaster indicates a water leak. Did you check the state of the roof?

Fiorella when/ how did you learn to speak Italian? Or are you just a wizard with languages?

Excited to see the transformation! 😊 How far apart are your homes in Molise and Abruzzo, will you commute each day?

@Our19KHome

Hi. They're about 2 hrs apart if you account for pit stops. Some times we will commute on the same day

Working with the right tools is something else... You bought the mask but not the equipment O_o the broom for scratching the wall, the hammer for the hedge--- O_o

I do not understand why they came to hook up the electricity and then refused to do it. What about the water? If the water has been shut off for some time I imagine all seals have dried out and will leak when you do get it turned on. Ciao

Regarding the electricity, they expected that the hole to put the meter was already done by us, which nobody told us during our conversations with the electricity company. Luckily we found another spot that didn't need the hole, so it was installed.

Im sure that will be an lovely apartment. And the view from bathroom is amazing🌄

Best of luck.Beautiful view

For the bathroom I suggest ammoniaca profumata. Don’t mix it with bleach. It helps with that kind of dirtiness. Ventilate the room as much as possible during the work. Where in Abruzzo is your house located? Such a beautiful view to the forest and nice pavement on the street.

Can’t wait to follow your renovation! I’m really interested as this is around the budget that I would like to spend. Was it easy to find something at that price point that wasn’t a ruin? Can I ask which town / area in Abruzzo? Lastly, I think totally worth it for views alone!

Don't understand your question about prices coming down, can you please give context? Depending on what type of professional you use for the renovation it could be from about €700 to €1,500 per sqm but of course it depends on what you want to do and the current state of the place

Congrats again!! We hope to follow in yr foot steps soon :) We're curious. Could you, if its possible for u to share with us (just an estimate, not exact nbr necessary:) - what sort of notary fees, housing agent fees (if any) taxes did u hv to pay? E.g. like $20k ish? extra on top of purchase price on fees n taxes? Thank you, any info appreciated ❤😊

Ciao. Taxes are 9% if it's not your main residence Realtor fees can be 2 to 4% Notaries can vary a lot depending on notary and whether you do your purchase remotely so we recommend you to get quotes. Usually 2 to 4K

So where do you dump the trash and trash bags? Is there a place in the village, or an "area" dump? I assume you will be generating lots of trash as you strip and demo things.
