Some people like terrazo but it wasn’t to our taste. It wasn’t “original” as it was put in maybe 15 years ago.. and also unfortunately had big patches of concrete filling some gaps and cracks. So we decided to get rid of it 🙃
Haha. Some love it. Some hate it. But unfortunately it had cracks and random patches of concrete all over anyway, that the previous owner had used to patch up work. So it had to go!
I love it when they work with the history and patch the patches with like materials. The landlord reno bummed me out too. Airbnb vibes. Edited to say, to be clear the house looks great. Just the bathroom bummed me out. lol
Thoroughly enjoyed it and subscribed can’t do more as I’m an 80 year old pensioner that has to watch her cents as yes I don’t live in the UK but in Italy coming here way back in 1969 when I was 25. Keep the good work up it’s all looking great. It’s also a big achievement having a young baby to look after too.
The house has a solid foundation and well-built. Good decision in buying it. So glad that they kept the original works. Both of them are so skillful in rebuilding their beloved home.
We didn’t mind how it looked but you couldn’t see anything on it bc if the pattern… bad for baby cleaning. Also there were random patches of concrete in it 😬

The bathroom seems a little lost. I love that you went the more natural/original look for the walls, but then a sleek, modern mirror and fittings... I would have gone with something more rustic to fit the era of the house
It’s a shame you both think so. But we mentioned in the full length videos that this is not actually going to be our final bathroom fit - we’ll probably redo the bathroom properly in a year or 2. We just wanted something to freshen it in the meantime without spending too much money. Something clean and bright until we can do the full reno in the future, while we work on other rooms in the house first. 😊
Can you please tell me the name of the product that you used to go over your tiles in the bathroom walls shower area as I will be able to see if they sell the product here in Australia. The Reno looks amazing.
Thank you! 🥰 The one we used was called “Masilla cubre azulejos en pasta” by the brand TOUPRET. It is a fine paste material designed specifically for covering tiles. Hopefully you can find something similar for your project 😁
Really admire your hands on spirit. There is nothing that you guys won't do!. Just curious if you teach yourselves as you go along or do you have previous experience in the building trade. I'm in Valencia just down the road. I bought a boat near tortosa, know roughly where you are. Love the show!
Unfortunately it had cracks and random areas of concrete all over the floor where the previous owner had done patch up jobs. So it had to go. It was only laid about 15 years ago anyway so wasn’t an “original” feature.
Yes. It worried us at first too! But we had an electrician check all the wiring in the house and it’s all safe and it’s just how it is done here. No neutral. 🙃
It was only laid about 15 years ago.. so it wasn’t “original”..! And had lots of cracks and random patches of concrete where the previous owner had patched up a few bits. So it had to go.. 🤷🏻♀️
For any major renovation or adaptation to the house (for example, in this case changing our windows and building a new kitchen). We’ll be making a video very soon about it, as all the info can be a bit hard to find and piece together. We’re going to share what we’ve learned from 4 years of off grid and town based projects so far
Bravo; vous vous êtes donné beaucoup,de,mal avec les rénovations! Juste une remarque: pourquoi avoir disposé, au dessus du lit du bébé, 2 carpettes ? (On dit chez nous « des ramasses-poussières 😊) . En fait cela pourrait être un fameux nid à acariens et préjudiciable à la santé de l’enfant qui dort directement dessous; ne croyez vous pas?😮
I presume you think it was made from stone or something? It wasn’t, it was just a conglomerate concrete. If it was stone we would have been much more careful to keep it!! 🙂
¡Sí, estoy de acuerdo contigo! Pero para quitarlo es un trabajo muy grande y sucio. Los dormitorios y el baño los queríamos hacer rápido, para que fueran habitables… (¡haremos reformas más grandes en el futuro!). Pero en la cocina ya hemos empezado a lijar las vigas para devolverles la madera original 😉😁

The original floor - Was very Nice.

I died inside, when you painted over the black & white floor lol

Thank you Margaret 💚
Wow, a life in Italy must be lovely! What a fantastic time you must have had there, all these years 🥰

Would love to see the old ceiling beams sanded to original finish. I bet they are beautiful. But quite a job , I’m sure
@hstan5589 Thank you. We’re trying our best 🥰
@valerieann2751 watch this space…. We’ll be sanding them back in the kitchen!! 💪🏻
Loved the the old terrazzo floor…

You Did an Amazing Job and all this with Isabelle🥰👋👋👋
Thanks! Yes a baby makes a big difference 🫣 You guys are definitely doing it the right way around 😉
You guys are such an inspiration! Quiet in your triumph. We’re so excited to see the life you build here.
Thank you ☺️

Gracias para las palabras amables ☺️
Your village house is looking great! So much character and an amazing purchase. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 💚😊
It's got some lovely original features. I particularly like some of the floor tiles.
Yes some of the tiles we like too !☺️
Wonderful video guys, you have worked so hard ❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰💚
Wow! You’ve done so much already. Well done 👏🏻 🎉
Can’t wait to see how the kitchen comes out!
Thank you! Looking forward to sharing more 😁
Amazing progress! Well done. Looking forward to future projects
Ah thank you 💚
The bathroom seems a little lost. I love that you went the more natural/original look for the walls, but then a sleek, modern mirror and fittings... I would have gone with something more rustic to fit the era of the house
It's kind of soulless.
It’s a shame you both think so.

Beatiful job done in the baby’s room!
Thank you 🥰
Amazing video! Great work!
Thanks a lot!
❤ thank you
You have made a good choice using lime plaster. Its the best for old houses.
Yes we are happy to have used it, something we wanted to learn. Thinking to go over the existing stuff in the kitchen with the same stuff.
Fantastic work. Micro cement style is a nice touch 😊
Thank you. We’re happy with how it’s turned out! 😁
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.....always a childs favorite 😊 Great job on her room!!
Aww thank you!
It was one of my absolute faves growing up (Kate), so I just HAD to get it as her first book ❤️🐛
I would have left the terrazzo floor untouched, people pay thousands for that material nowadays 😮
Unfortunately it had big cracks and random bits of concrete where the previous owner had patched up sections of the floor. So it had to go 🤷🏻♀️
Their house, their choice.....
You both are doing a great job! Enjoyed watching . Blessings
Thank you so much 🤗
Amazing video. Really shows what you can do yourself. I think I would have kept that lovely old stone kitchen counter, but hey, it's your home!
Thank you. The kitchen counter was not stone (we would have kept it if it was..!) it was just made from concrete.
@@SmithsdaleFarm In that case I understand completely. Good luck with the rest of the project!
Well done for this so inspiring video. You're very creative and involved. Keep going and all the best for the future
Thank you 💚😁

Really admire your hands on spirit. There is nothing that you guys won't do!. Just curious if you teach yourselves as you go along or do you have previous experience in the building trade. I'm in Valencia just down the road. I bought a boat near tortosa, know roughly where you are. Love the show!
No previous experience, all RUclips university 🫣but we do enjoy doing it!
Hope you’re enjoying the boat & thanks for the support 😊
You are doing an amazing job 👍
Thank you 💚
An excellent video. I loved it.
Thank you very much!
Very nice work
Oh my god, you covered that terrazzo floor? 😢 And what is happening in that shower. Horrendous.
Unfortunately it had cracks and random areas of concrete all over the floor where the previous owner had done patch up jobs. So it had to go.
It was only laid about 15 years ago anyway so wasn’t an “original” feature.
Wow!
😊
Dónde comprasteis la casa? Bonita reforma.
Baix Ebre; en un pueblo circa de la Delta en Catalunya 🦩
❤ hola,what is that stuff called you put over the tiles in the bathroom please❤
Hi. It is a tile plaster from Leroy Merlin called ‘Masilla cubre azulejos en pasta’ the brand is TOUPRET.
I’m so sad to see the floor transform
Unfortunately the bathroom floor had a lot of cracks and random bits of concrete where the previous owner had made repairs.. so it had to go!
Power lines without grounding?
Yes. It worried us at first too! But we had an electrician check all the wiring in the house and it’s all safe and it’s just how it is done here. No neutral. 🙃
Great video, where in Spain did you buy your property.
We bought land in the Beix Ebre region in south Catalunya
@@SmithsdaleFarm We to live in Catalonia Ribera de Ebre.
@adamholding7447 ah then we’re just over the mountains 👋
Put a bonding agent on the old plaster , your new coat won't stick
Thanks, good to know 👍 any kind you’d recommend?
Dommage pour le terraso c est tendance et il est beau sinon beau travail😊
Se nota que los anteriores dueños eran mayores
¿Qué te hace decir eso? 😉
Terraso avec protection douche en verrière
Dont Broken the pile,you can use in the garden!! 😢
The old floor and the bathroom walls noooooooooooooooooo 😩
It was only laid about 15 years ago.. so it wasn’t “original”..!
And had lots of cracks and random patches of concrete where the previous owner had patched up a few bits. So it had to go.. 🤷🏻♀️
@@SmithsdaleFarm yeah im just saying it looked good
I would like to know for what do you need a permission?

Siempre tendran humedades, el arquitecto me dijo si una casa tiene humedad no la compres.
People buy these old places for their charm and then make them look generic. Go figure.
Thant sink....😢😢😢😢😢.. you can used in a new bathroom, or outside the house... But demolished... Was the worst option...😭😭😭
I presume you think it was made from stone or something? It wasn’t, it was just a conglomerate concrete. If it was stone we would have been much more careful to keep it!! 🙂
Me ha dolido el alma, al veros destruir eso fregadero de piedra 😢😢
Y espero que no hayáis tirado esos cabeceros antiguos de las camas... 🙁
No era piedra.. era concreto 🤷🏻♀️
Yo hubiera quitado la pintura de las bigas del techo. Ese color marrón es horrible para mi gusto. 🤔
¡Sí, estoy de acuerdo contigo!
Pero para quitarlo es un trabajo muy grande y sucio. Los dormitorios y el baño los queríamos hacer rápido, para que fueran habitables… (¡haremos reformas más grandes en el futuro!). Pero en la cocina ya hemos empezado a lijar las vigas para devolverles la madera original 😉😁
@@SmithsdaleFarm lo entiendo perfectamente. Por lo demás, habéis hecho un trabajo espectacular! 😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
