Great price for the painting, and man, that guy did some fast and nice painting! If you just want the orange color on the kitchen cabinets gone, there is adhesive foil to change the look. The cabinets can also be painted. Not sure if they have that in Albania, but there is special paint where you do not have to sand the doors off first, you just paint with it. It´s like a chalk paint that comes in different finishes too. I think a silver or gray would look good. It would go with the applicances and walls. Would blend in with the rest of gray, and makes the room look a little larger.
Awesome place. If you really want a TV in the bedroom, you can get a swingarm which attaches to the wall or ceiling. They are really convenient and great when space is limited.
My friends in Montenegro- they have a guest house where I stay- Marinero Apartments- everything is made by locals - his Mother made the drapes- what a concept - people making custom furniture - everybody wins.
I enjoy watching your move to and life in Albania! So happy to see you enthusiastically settling in and adapting! Love the work you've done to your condo so far. The grey looks great. You could mount the TV in your main bedroom on the large left wall as you walk into the room, next to the armoire. Yes, you would be looking 90 degrees to your right to watch the TV from your bed, but you're already looking 90 degrees to your left from your living room sofa to watch the TV in its current location. Same angle, just different direction. Just a thought, unless you preferred some artwork on that bedroom wall. Otherwise, offer to sell it at a discount and see if anyone you know there wants it if you really want the 50" TV. I live in Croatia as of Christmas this year and we have expat groups in Croatia where members post things for sale all the time.
Hello ! and thank you. The t.v. is hooked on a wallmount i can pull out and turn it towards the couch. ( im in the captains chair directly in front of t.v. )..i could do the same for bedroom. Not sure yet. I have freinds that can use that t.v. if i do upgrade it. But that is way down the line. To much other stuff we want to do. Im happy for you that you are doing well in Croatia! And thank you for watching !
I love gray walls. I find the color soothing and of course it’s super neutral. Feels more modern to me as well. Love the new furniture too! Thanks for the update. Have fun! Mark and Annette 😊
Miss you too! We are in Florida and leave Miami Monday to cruise to Barcelona. We are going to head straight to the south of France. We changed our plans instead of staying in Spain. We are going to spend some time in France.
Maybe put the tv in the bedroom on a bracket that has an arm that extends and you can push flat and pull out. They also make brackets for corners, so maybe by the window.
Watched from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Congratulations to you both. Your new home and improvements look great. Love your progress videos and the view to the lake...wow! #HGTV Albania edition, watch out!
You can check into it. They may be able to recoat that tile to change the color. Worth at least getting a price to get rid of the stripes if you want. Then it would be all white
Cute condo! Love the new color! Great that you can custom order furniture for such a great price, and made for your prefrences of height and firmness. I think turning that second bedroom into an office is a great idea. Kind of like a little mancave for you. Gotta say that Albania looks better and better for retiring to!
Patrick, since you are in albania, get a persian rag for your living room. This way not only your living room gets a bit warmer during the winter, but you also become an honory member of albania lol
What a nice surprise! I thought it would be a couple more months before we would see the condo update. I'll agree with your other commenters...the gray color looks great. Your new couch and chair look great as well. You get what you pay for...those will last a long time...money well spent. April's rolling cart with cutting board was designed thoughtfully and was perfect for the kitchen. It is possible to have a television that is too big for the room...I've done that before, so you may want to really think about it before you get a larger tv. I went back to look at the first condo tour. The new shower curtain is a vast improvement! I would not touch the tile...you need a nice echo when you sing certain songs (Day-O ...the Banana Boat song). Thanks for the update and give my regards to April. Take care.
I know ! For upgraded paint ( washable ) and 2 days of labor! My mom told me in california now...they are wanting to charge $400 bucks a room to paint ! Just for labor.
Looks awesome.. well looks like I'll hopefully be there in Summer now.. VA finally decided they would do a hip replacement.. unless they change their mind. I thought i was going to have to go to Turkey and pay for it myself.
My girlfriend and I will be in Pogradec the entire month of August. We are curious how you travel between Tirana and Pogradec. It would also be great to meet you if you're so inclined, and not busy. We have been following you for nearly a year now, and very much appreciate your videos and insights. Our entire time in Albania will be just over 3 months.
Hi ! Yes if im in town we can meet ! April and i travel now. If your in Pogradec for a month im sure we will be here at least part of the month. Thank you for watching.
@ oh did you see my comment/question about where you got your KF Tirana? I think I put it in a reply to someone else’s comment…..errr. Anyway my husband wants to know where you got it? A shop? The stadium? We’ll be in Tirana on the 11th!! Can’t wait, our first time in Albania
Wait until Cowboys and Texans play, and then something…”Mysterious” will happen when Texans score 😁 Once a House is made to your liking it becomes a Home. Welcome to your Albanian Home guys! God Bless!
U did marvelous job fiends👍 Looks really beautiful. I would add more kitchen cabinets and bigger fridge💪 We are women, we know what we r talking about Patrick 😅 Best wishes to you and April 💞
Great, Patrick, congrats on your progress. I saw your previous video about this condo. By the way, can you tell me a reference price for the same condo like this in Tirana? Thanks
An Idea for your TV in the bedroom is to have it mounted on the ceiling on a hinge near the door. When you wish to watch something unlock it , let it swing down to use the TV. When not in use ... you can fold it up and out of the way ... The color of your new paint is inviting and comfortable. April did a great job in selecting the color... Please tell April congratulations and a voice from Texas and her past said Hello !
I know there's vets here. But we dont have a dog or cat. I will ask around. I dont do consultations. I dont charge. You can email me at roadway12345@yahoo.com
Place looks awesome. My husband has a question for you related to your soccer jerseys. We’ll be in Tirana the 11-16th this month. Where did you get your KF Tirana jersey?
It makes a huge difference when you make a place your own! Looks great!
Thanks buddy !
Thanks for the tour. Great custom made furniture 🪑.
Thank you sir. Got a guy coming sunday to look at kitchen cabinets.

Thank you for the info ! April really wants it replace and another cabinet added where ols a/c was. But thank you !
Looks great 👍 Love the view
Thank you. were getting there

Hi Arnold ! Thanks...didnt think of that.
Beautiful choices. The color, the furniture, and the way you’ve arranged it all makes the living space look even larger. Congratulations!
Thanks Jeff ! Still have a lot to do.
My friends in Montenegro- they have a guest house where I stay- Marinero Apartments- everything is made by locals - his Mother made the drapes- what a concept - people making custom furniture - everybody wins.
Wow!❤looks nice. Lots of seamstresses to make your draperies
Very Nice! So happy for yall!!

Hi Guys ! We miss you ! Hope all is well with you both. Where are you two now? Spain ?

@@ahjacobs1967 Good for you guys ! Safe travels !
I love that soft gray color on the walls! Makes the room so much brighter.
Thank you
Lovely place, Patrick. You and April are turning that into a wonderful home. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you so much. Were getting there. Much to do

Hi Tami ! Im not sure we will. Good idea of yours. But id also have to add a outlet. But i will think about it. Thank you for your idea !
@patrickoverseas oh adding another outlet isnt as easy as it is here in the states, especially if those are stone walls.
@@tamimorales1116 exactly

Whats up bro ! love your channel !
@@patrickoverseas Thank you. I inspire to do walk and talk videos like yours but I can't remember my lines. hahahaha
Move the fridge to where the old a/c unit was then add counter and under counter storage in old fridge spot.
April is adding a cabinet there where old a/c was.
Love your content, Patrick. Extremely helpful for anyone considering making a move there. Keep Tubing!!!
Thank you so much !
You can check into it. They may be able to recoat that tile to change the color. Worth at least getting a price to get rid of the stripes if you want. Then it would be all white
True that. That would be way down the line. But nice idea. After kitchen cabinets were going to slow down a bit/ April did order drapes yesterday

I think turning that second bedroom into an office is a great idea. Kind of like a little mancave for you. Gotta say that Albania looks better and better for retiring to!
Hi...man cave...I like the way you think
The place looks fantastic and is taking shape to make it what you both want, I couldn't be happier for you both...As always, thank you for sharing
Hi Tony ! Thank you. Hope you and texas are doing well.
Looking stylish Patrick! The prices are amazing! Since we are looking to relocate this year this is all excellent information. I appreciate it!
Thank you sir ! As we update we will show prices. Thanks !
"Be it ever so humble", There's really no place like HOME. Looks like you have really made it into yours.
Hi Ed . Were getting there.
Looks great! Those prices are great too!
Thank you ! The place is coming around
Patrick, since you are in albania, get a persian rag for your living room. This way not only your living room gets a bit warmer during the winter, but you also become an honory member of albania lol

Thank you craig ! I will tell april. My home in texas i had a 65 inch. Cant do that here. Room not big enough. But i wish i got the 50 inch.
$250 great deal!

Looks super and great value! How about a dryer? I know my wife is going to be wanting one. :)
HI. we bought a fold up dryer. I will put it in next condo video.
Love it!! ❤
Thanks Peg !

@@PegKam999 Yes Got mint at the new bazarr. But you will see them hanging out side of stores around Tirana.
planning to watch the super bowl? Pulling an all-nighter i suppose 😂
I'm sure I will fall asleep..was great meeting you today.
Cute apt. Good choice But the view, location and the light is most important. 👍
So true !
Wait until Cowboys and Texans play, and then something…”Mysterious” will happen when Texans score 😁 Once a House is made to your liking it becomes a Home. Welcome to your Albanian Home guys! God Bless!
Thank you Tony ! Good to hear from you.
U did marvelous job fiends👍 Looks really beautiful. I would add more kitchen cabinets and bigger fridge💪 We are women, we know what we r talking about Patrick 😅 Best wishes to you and April 💞
Hi Elizabeth ! Yes we will add a cabinet to the wall where the old heater was on the right side of kitchen
damn it looks stunning, much better.
You so much ! Your so kind !
Great, Patrick, congrats on your progress. I saw your previous video about this condo. By the way, can you tell me a reference price for the same condo like this in Tirana? Thanks
MOST here were running around $80,000 U.S.D....I got a good deal. Im told you can get a nice place for $90,000
@ Thank you so much 👍
I like your cutting block
Thank you!
Place looks great! Love the grey color! I was wondering if you were going to keep the orange cabinets 🙂

sounds good bulldog !
Mirjana and I, Henry are heading to Durress this month.
We really liked Duress. Make sure you go south away from the port.
Wow ... it looks much better. Do you have a vet in Pogradec? Do you do Zoom consultation?
I know there's vets here. But we dont have a dog or cat. I will ask around. I dont do consultations. I dont charge. You can email me at roadway12345@yahoo.com
Place looks awesome.
My husband has a question for you related to your soccer jerseys. We’ll be in Tirana the 11-16th this month. Where did you get your KF Tirana jersey?
@@PegKam999 You will see them all over in Tirana, I got mine in the new bazaar in Tirana.
@ thanks😁❤️
Is your kitchen, light flickering? If so, that means that you are not running the appropriate wattage/volt bulb that is compatible with the fixture
No..its the refresh rate in my camera, The lights are not flashing in person
The light strobe....ugghhh
yea...i should have turned off that light. Its the refresh rate on my camera. The likes arent flashing in person
@@patrickoverseas Oh I understand why it happens, I did give the video a watch and "thumbs' up, just saying....MUH EYES hahaha.
@@Chilibeanz559 lol...next time i will leave those lights off
Can you flush toilet paper in Albania? Because in Greece you can't. Their plumbing system can't handle it
Yes, My new place no problem. My place was built in 2015. When i was in Tirana I was in a old place and had to be careful.
