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!

Yay, you're back. Not gonna lie I've missed you, as I live life vicariously through your Italian dream. You inspire me to do things on my own. I love your attitude of let's see if I can do this, if not I'll find a way to do it.❤
Basically, exactly what I was going to say, so I'll just second what you said ❤
Great to see you and your little helper who is not little anymore 😮 how fast they grow. The beauty and joy from your renovation projects will be the memories and reminders for you, your family and loved ones for years to come and those are priceless 👍
Nice to see you back ! Many thanks to your junior assistant !
The window is a real triumph. You deserve to be proud. 🎉
Your helper is getting so big! Nice job on the window.
Good to see you!
It’s raining in Piemonte for the past 10 weeks. My Italian neighbours have never seen this before. It feels like early spring at the most.
Personally, I'd just securely tarp your ride and use it only when it isn't raining. And look into moisture absorbers to deal with the mold. I used them on my sailboat when I wasn't using it for longer periods of time. Just a little plastic container with a 'strainer' in the top where the dry chemicals were placed. As they absorbed moisture they turned into a thick liquid and accumulated in the bottom of the container.
And drill a drain hole in the floor. I regretted that with my last car. It would have saved me from wet feet.

If our guy wants to get fancy, drill drain holes in all footwells. Install 'duck bill' valves which allow water to drain out but not splash back in while driving. Maybe even put a screen over the opening so that it's less likely to get plugged.
Can you use the current panels as a pattern and buy some waterproof fabric to make your own replacement roof? Or perhaps employ someone who works in those canvas-y type of industry to try for you? Tent makers and such. Good luck.
Just a suggestion, take the Golf to a boat upholstery shop and see if you can get a quote on the rag top.
. Happy to see you back again. Love your restoration work. It's amazing how far you have come
Ooo goody. We've missed you. 😊
Nice to see you again, along with your little helper. I didn’t hold out much hope for the car, but hey presto, great result after the valet. Hope you have a nice summer.
You are amazing! That window is so cool!!! Is there anything you can''t do? (By the way, it is SO good to see you and you and your helper again!!!). HOLY COW! The Golf looked amazing after it was cleaned!!!! Hey, nobody watches your videos for excitement, we just love to see what you'll fix up next! Hope YOU are well, too! See you soon, I hope!
It's good to have a helper. I like you are keeping the old window. Maybe you cam make some more holes in your car for drainage. The place is looking great.
My family was in Italy last month. We visited Pontremoli, and wanted to buy you a coffee, but sadly, you were not around. Hope all is well.
What a shame
Your son has grown up ❤️ windows done car cleaned. Beautiful rose 🌹 Pruned & tied up. Safe journey home to you both 💐🇮🇪
Love the Golf's fancy new cap! My daughter's Toyota Camry is 26 years old, and she has no intensions of replacing it in the near future💖
Lovely surprise today! Your back. And with your not so little helper too. Beautiful window.
So great to see you have a new video. I just checked yesterday to see if I'd missed one 😉. Your little helper has grown so much, AND is so cute! Well done with the window, definitely will keep cats out, and the car! I love your rose!!!
Window looks awesome! Glad to see you again.
Thanks for the update. We where starting to worry about you. Good job as always.
Now take that window out and work on the bars. You need to wire brush all the rust off and treat it with anti-rust primer. Paint them, then put the window back.
So glad you are back! You have been missed.😀
Good to hear from you. The house looks better every visit.
WOW YOU'RE BACK, YOU ARE MISSED.
So good to see you and catch up on more improvements. The window turned out well. Amazing how much better the car looks. Your helper is growing up way too fast. See you next time. Take care! Janice from Arkansas USA
So happy to see you !!
Love watching your videos. I've been watching from the beginning and am so impressed. Italy is one of our favorite favorite places and would love to be doing what you are able to do. Kudos to you and your family.
You are doing an extremely great job with all that you are juggling in your life. The window looks great!😊 Your little helper is growing up fast. Great to see you and the the progress.
That is going to be a "cute" kitchen when you are done. I will be watching. 🌸🇨🇦
So happy to see you back!
A very pretty view for sure!
Good to see you back❤
I think that your authentic windows look Great 👍😁
Thanks! 😊
Compriband tape is useful. different widths and flexes with timber. Lime mortar is the way forward with stone and timber buildings. Thanks for the vlog, always interesting.
Glad to see you there and with a helper!
Oh, frabjous day! Love seeing more work from the Italian project
Your Golf now has a Smile 😃on his face 😂
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
I bet you can buy the convertible cheaper on a roll. Remove yours and lay it on top, cut out a perfect shape and then reattach
For some reason I was terribly dislocated that you weren't in France.
Terrific window in Italy!!!
Good to see you back, will you be showing us any of your time in France?
Everything from the last trip is online, I’ll be back out there in 10 days!
@@NotUselessYetThanks, I saw the last trip, so will be pleased to see more 👍
Hi Raff. Good to see you. Lovely seeing you little boy who’s grown up fast 👏💐
Well done on the window!!!
Wow what a good job they did cleaning the Golf…these cars are worth keeping them running as they will last many years more ( the engines are un-destructible !! The window you made is fantastic, you certainly are a man of many traits!!
Was thinking and wondering about you, and here you are! The windows look so good! No more uninvited cats indoors.
Good afternoon. 😊
You’re back! Yeah!
Having followed for a long time.. there is DIY, but sometimes I gringe and sit back on my RUclips sofa. Please take out the original frame. Think about where the water will go and seal the new frame to the stone. The old frame is shot.
Great video 👍I like using a angle grinder for sanding wood use the right disc and practice and works great , always use a mask😊
I’ve only been to Innsbruck once, but loved it. Would love to go there again. Good to see your little blondie helping out
This year the weather is trying hard to disguise summer...Was watching the match in Germany, it rained the whole time.
The window came out fine, is the reverse of our old practice over here, were the glass panes would be glued from the outside, exterior side as flat as possible leaving most wood frame to the inside face. Put some wood treatment against bugs and fungi, or else they will spread from the old frame to your new one really fast. Treated wood last forever.
As for the car, it could use a car cover for the seasons it sits unused. Also the floor drains got plugged, better unblock to avoid water to collect inside and rot the entire floor.
Great to see you and the family are well. That’s the most important. Hope to see a few more vids in the near future. Cheers.
Welcome back to Italy. The window looks awesome (clean or not!). The car cleaner guy is a 'keeper', 😂 and the patio looks all set for summer. It is a hard row to hoe with France, italy, and Austria on the go. We are looking forward to the next update. 😊
Slowly but surely, quality jobs always take more time.☺
I am glad your back i missed your videos the window looks great looking forward to more videos
Duck tape is your friend.....comes in many colors now....but traditional silver gray is good...Golf will love it.
Good to see you back!
My Daughter is currently in Pontremoli then heading to Venice for a few days then Rome for 3 . Absolutely loving Italia.
Great job
Way to go, I had the same problem with our very old house in Andalucia i did the same to rectify the problem ,i also foamed the frame as it also gives a thermal barrier, its all rock n roll
I've missed you and your music
Whoa your son has grown! Good luck with kitchen. I’m still pulling for sink below window!
Great to see you back!
Window looks great👍
I love watches ng your working on this house. It’s always nice to see the children and their mother also.
Hi good to see you back, I feel your pain with the weather, we are in central France and it has rained heavy from November all the way up to last week. Northern Europe has really suffered this year. Someone told me it has something to do with aircraft travel, don't know about that though
So glad you’re back 👍👍👍
Your son is such a big boy now
Glad to see you in good health. I've been thinking about you these days. Take care of your health, you are young, you still have to live and live. You should stake your blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and uric acid levels in the blood out (so as not to miss the onset of gout) and fight excess body weight.🤗🤗🤗
Good job on those windows! 😊
Would you not be better to use “Lime Mortar” as in keeping with the Old Stone Building? From reading this product is what has been used for centuries in the building of these Stone Houses.
This MS20 is what the locals suggest, builders and merchants…
Hydrated lime is a component of MS20 says Google
I would inquire around at auto upholstery shops for the Golf. They are very good and smart about fixing old bent frames too. You could leave it for a long period of time with someone local.
Maybe boat places down on the coast
Great to see you Raf, and the window frame came out great, the car sure does look great , Now warning Mama Bear here, DONT FILM when Driving ok, near gave me heart attack. Ok Rant over. But as for the owner next door, this has been going on too long and damaging your home so I would just go ahead and get a solicitor to get on this, as why should it be allowed. Glad you got a bit of sun, weather all over is crazy but hope to see you soon, till then love to all of you . xxx Dede
You simply amazed me so bright and clever with all the things you create. Have you thought about painting your kitchen kind of a latte or mocha color so that the dark spots wouldn't show through.
Welcome back! 👍
Well Well Well there you are. I was just thinking about you yesterday. Saw where there was heavy rains in the Alps. Hope it didn't effect you.
the window loock nice.. Alfaromeo 90... i had a-87 2,0 inicione 75 big brother.. nice driving car.. and your golf vert is a good car wort the money 2 restore..
Rough and ready window Ralf but suits house perfectly 👌🏻, Rose bush pruning obviously not your forte 😂. Weren’t you embarrassed to have the car valeted 😂, poor guy , no gloves, no mask but did a good job I think 😆, good to see you back and hope things are improving all round , oh and glad to see you feed your little labourer 👌🏻.
1. Window looks great!
2.Feral cats are not my fave.(dog lover!) Hope you didn’t get fleas or that they didn’t “mark” their territory! Ugh!
3. Does anyone have a shed/barn there you can park car?
4. Hail and wind storm was wild!
5. Have to say-between flooded, moldy car, stray cats in the house and a challenging neighbor……. those things would have put me over the edge yet, you, take it all in stride. You get some serious pats on the back for that!
6. View never gets tiring! Even listening to the rain, very soothing! Front veranda looks so inviting and glad you’re giving the rose bush some love!
Finally….. I am utterly and completely exhausted just watching you! You continue to amaze us all! 💟💟💟💟
unfortunately there are no barns or garages 😑
Blessings for all. Happy summer.
Hey! You are back!!
Wow, the car cleaned up great. I'll keep fingers crossed someone will provide some ideas of what you might do for the roof. You take care too.
Lovely to see you as all your followers are!
Enjoy your summer . I am heading back k to the UK., soon for a stack up of goodies, mostly teabags, but some treats too.
How is your house in France coming along, good I hope. See you soon. Safe travels back home to Austria. Take care, M.
Nice to see you back so don't apologise as you have a family and work life, looking forward to your next video.
❤
Roof perfect 😅
Everything is falling into place
Hi there, I enjoy your vlogs very much thank you. In the latest RUclips vlog for "This old french house" Marius is using a paint that is blocking anything coming through the paint from the timber beneath, I was thinking this may help you with your issue on the walls in your kitchen. Marius is using it on wood so not sure if it will work on stone, however it may be worth investigating. Regards Bronwyn
Thanks for the tip!
Yeah a car cover/tarp seems the better short term solution until a decent second hand roof becomes available ?
Will you have screens? Beautiful windows!
Stay positive and keep going 🎉🎉🎉
Why don’t you put a small hole in the footwell so that the water won’t gather it’ll just drain itself
I think it really needs a roof..
We’ve had relentless rain in the UK as well. For about eight months. We are living with climate change now.
Rolf love the Save Ferris Shirt, do the locals there know the movie and get the joke?
No, very few people get it 😉
@@NotUselessYet That’s what makes you epic!Keep up the great work!
Great to see your progress. The Golf looks so good. Just curious if you ever decided how to use the small room off the kitchen that you cleaned out. Safe travels.
Not yet 😬
😎💙👍

Is that the baby??????? OMG I feel old now.

🌟👏👍🍀💐
