    Sometimes a coffee goes a long way, especially here in Italy. Don't feel obliged in any way though, best of all would be to come to Tuscany and have one here with me!

    With the cement mixer you should have put some hard rocks (6-8) the size of you clenched fist or slightly bigger with a cup or two of water and let it run for an hour with the doors closed and have lunch. By then most if not all the plaster/cement would have been cleared, no sweat.

    If you add some rocks to the mixer and run it for 1 hr it Will loosen up a lot of the stuff inside, saving you some Labour

    You will get there. Working in that heat must be crippling. Looking forward to France.😊

    I think there should be an award for all the effort you have made for your Italian property. It's huge! I get tired just watching you work.

    All the 'posh chateau owners' also forget to clean their mixers at some point, so you're in great company ;)

    Glad the walls of the future kitchen in your house in Italy are finally getting done and looking better, and we were wondering how many languages do you speak, French, English ( of course) , Austrian? And Italian…?….as well as many different ( handyman) things you do…mechanic, plasterer, electrician, roofer, floor tile installer, bathroom plumbing….plus your day job…LOL 😂…Your more than a handyman, you are a magician….😮

    The trick with doing a smooth plastering job is to make very thick layers. If you think you put on a thick layer already, just make it more thicker before even starting to scrape for flatness. Just put a lot of material onto the wall very roughly. And when you run out of mixed plaster then you can start moving and flattening it.

    a sweat band on the forehead would probably help a lot

    One of these days you will have a nice cool dry weekend for work.

    I don't know how it's done there, but here, when we have water stains, or any other stain that keeps bleeding through plaster and paint, we use a stain blocking primer before we paint. It is oil based so it needs time to dry. But so worth it.

    It might help you to put lining paper over the walls. It’s a wallpaper that hides imperfections in plaster walls. Then you can paint them or wallpaper them. This also hides stains.

    Grate some chalk. It will clean the window rub the chalk in with a cloth it devolves the extra putti on the glass. Great video
