Wow, so much work! Thanks for condensing the 4 weeks. Looks exhausting! Will you also do the reinstall the new materials?
the tiles are awesome
Wonderful Place Congratulations.
God I wish it was still that organised 🥹
Wow! Amazing work and incredible budget 🙌💪
Thank you 🙌
Great colour in the end, worth the change for sure.
Thank you so much 😍
Absolutely incredible transformations.❤
Thank you 😍🙏
Ernie’s had a haircut, such a lovely dog ❤️ great storage space
Thanks Alison! Haha YES, at least half a haircut 😅 he gets very easily bored so for a while he had one trimmed backleg and the other one with long fur haha
Is a 5,000 euro apartment (80 square meters) that needs to be renovated in a small town in piedmont worth it?
Impossiblw to say. The renovation cost in Piedmont is usually 1500-3000€ per sqm 😊
@@OurItalianDreamHouse Thank you!
You’re very welcome! We have a full ebook on How to buy a house in Italy available on our Patreon page 😊
Ed's suite is perfect for DIY, I also saw wood in slippers (without socks though).
🤣🤣🤣
good job!
Thanks! 😊
❤
Nice work!!
Thanks Christine 😊
Great job guys 👏👏👏storage is one of the most important things in a house.
Thanks so much! Yes, it really is! 😁
If you want to be really obsessive drawing the outline of your tools on the board above the workstation ensures everything goes back where it should (little tip from when I worked on electronics manufacturing!) great job though !
That’s a great idea! Thanks for the tip 😁
❤ordning och reda 👏♥️
Haha när vi byggde det absolut. Idag ser det återigen ut som en krigszon.
@@OurItalianDreamHouse 😂
Love your videos x
Thank you Andrea 😍🙏
Love the dog great storage space ❤
Thank you so much 😍 Ernie sends his love!
Cute dog, useful storage room, and beautiful home! Well done! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🥰
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Great combo of storage and work space! Getting those spaces organized really does create better head space as well!
Thanks so much, couldn’t agree more, “organised space, organised mind”! 😊
Nice work guys! 💪🫡
Thank you, we're really happy with how it turned out! 🙌
Great work! Whose music did you use?
Thank you so much! We use Epidemic Sounds for all our RUclips videos 😊
Hi guys!! Ale is here!!
Enfine! We missed you Ale!
@@OurItalianDreamHouse 😀😀👋
great hole fixing!
thanks alex! 😊
Surprised you didn't use self leveling compound on the bed room floor.
We didnt have the space for it because of rules for ceiling hight in converted buildings. Also, self leveling compound is insanely expensive in Italy.
Why so modern??????
You are doing a amazing BUT I can't believe you made the inside so modern....with such dark colors ....
Hi, thanks for your comment. Design can definitely be polarising since taste is very personal. We prefer a very classic design aesthetic with elements that reflect the history of the house (terrazzo tiles for example) which is not typically “modern”. But of course, we have had to use modern materials to meet building standard and make the house suitable to stand up to the wear and tear of being rented. So it’s certainly a balance, but we are exceptionally pleased with how it turned out.
👍👍👍
great to see a new video !!,,,,and you guys back at it!.....these challenges are just annoyances in the big picture....they are also times when reading some of the wise ancient "Stoic"s" writings will come in very handy, and help you get thru these bumps in your road!....luv your perseverance and positiveness...BRAVO!😀💪🙏❤
Patience required with that concrete level. Maybe you should have poured a self levelling screed over the rough concrete first , cheaper than tile adhesive, super smooth finish to tile on and level. Looking good guys
Unfortunately it’s actually incredible expensive in Italy with self levelling screed. And we also couldnt add anything, having to take the minimum floor/ceiling hight in consideration 😓 thanks Karl!
"ITLALIAN"?
Haha shit happens.
So sorry for the shoddy workmanship, but you are handling it with panache!
Thank you Melissa!
Always enjoy seeing progress. Keep focusing on the positives, we are cheering you on!!
Thank you Bruce! Will do!
You guys are WARRIORS!!! Bravo on all of your hard work! ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know, but here in France you would never put a tiling directly on a raw concrete floor. Usually you put a self-leveling screed on top and then you tile.
Great to know in case we will ever renovate a house in France! 😊
@@OurItalianDreamHouse ...it would have been helpful to just explain why that wasn't an option, because most of us watching the video had this exact thought, wouldn't have been cheaper and easier to pour down self leveling concrete.
@@Bkate23 the problem was the height of the room. We are on the threshold for the minimum ceiling height required to convert the room to habitable. Pouring a liquid screed and then tiling on top could have caused issues in this regard.
The transformation I am so looking forward to and to such high standards, you both should be proud of yourselvrs. Well done 👏👏👏👏 love from blighty
THANK YOU Terry! ❤️❤️
you two are absolute legends! I can only imagine the level of frustration of having to fix work you have paid to get done. Don't lose sight on all you have accomplished though. You are doing absolutely amazing. If you plan on renting it out, just make sure you get some areas ready so you can get that income stream ready to help you with your budget. The final details will come ;)
Thanks so much! 🙏🙏 we keep learning from all the setbacks and no longer get surprised when we find work we need to re-do. It’s frustrating for sure, but we keep growing!
Great progress. It’s going to be fabulous 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much Barbara! 😊
Mina fantastiska❤️
❤️
It's a nightmare dealing with builders, but your house is turning out beautiful!
Haha it for sure is - no matter in what country you are! I sometimes wonder how I would feel about all this if I would have paid Swedish prices for the labour 🤪
I admire your perseverance, you guys are doing an amazing job. Love your outdoor entertaining area you did in the opening shots, it’s beautiful with the bricks.
Thank you Diane! We try to stay positive even when we’re up against a headwind (as we would say in Swedish) 😂🙏🙏
Super to see you back again!
More to come! 😊🙌
Good job guys! Installing shower doors are horrible, way more work than it seems to be!!
Thanks Henrik! Haha it’s bloody horrible. And Deghi does not make it less horrible when not sending out proper instructions 😂
@@OurItalianDreamHouse Haha I had the same issue, basically 0 instruktions and mine was with an angle piece 🤯
Hahahah oh god.
Very dramatic music and cutting in this episode! Looks very nice 😃
😂🙏
There is a charm in imperfection of tiling, so don't bother it's not perfect it's supposed to be like that.
Thank you!! And we actually agree with you. Considering it’s an old house from the 1920’s where Nothing is straight, it would almost look strange if the new tiles were perfect 😅
You dd it well❤❤
Thank you Martha 🥰
Looks awesome. Ya'll are doing a great job on the whole house.
Thank you so much! 😍
Spectacular job guys! You never cease to amaze me with your endless skills. So happy for you!
Thank you Michelle! ❤️❤️❤️
Best information video ive seen on RUclips until now on this topic and Straight to the point with no unnecessary babbling! Thank you for your professionalism of this video.
Thank you So much Benjamin! We also wrote an ebook covering the whole process (and have added things we know Now which we wish we would have known then 😅). You can find it on our Patreon page if you’re interested 😊
@@OurItalianDreamHouse That’s great , thanks for the info.
No problem at all. And good luck with your (hopefully) future house purchase in Italy 😍
@@OurItalianDreamHouse Well just browsing through ideas Really! Some facts im trying to understand though.. As the main reason being that the Italian government is trying to repopulate these deserted towns to get them up and running again. So im wondering how this concept can grow soon because not only are there very little, if not any employment possibilities in these old areas but also the cities close by generally have a pretty high unemployment rate and low wages. So im wondering how they imagine regular families could financially survive or anyone who just wants to live in one of these regions that wants a regular job. I understand it’s a perfect situation for a vacation home or perhaps some kind of hotel business idea and of course for a few of those who are able to work from home via home office, But because the majority don’t have this option , wouldn’t this lower the potential of the repopulation idea by quite a bit? I absolutely do not mean this to be negative in any way because it’s obviously a beautiful dream to live there. I was just wondering as you have now started part of your life there and its probably also in anyone’s best interest who is now planning a future there , to think about and how fast things will develop.
I think you make some really valid points here. And personally, I'd never buy one of those 1€ properties, for the exact reasons you're mentioning. I have a feeling the 1€ towns will be still deserted in a couple of years but with foreign buyers stuck with properties they cant get rid of and still demands to spend a certain amount of money to renovate them. It takes hundreds of full time residents to create a sustainable infrastructure and I cant see how that would happen. Our village is in the center of Piedmont, has slightly over 3000 inhabitants and is a 45 min drive from Turin, 70 min drive from Milan and 15 min drive from the closest "bigger town" - and we still got it for a very reasonable price (compared to the housing market in Scandinavia).
Magnifique, vos invités ont de la chance ♥️🙂🇧🇪
Merci beaucoup Danielle 😍🙏 haha ca serait encore mieux avec de l’eau dans le salle de bain. Mais au moins il est beau 😂
