You said nothing offensive about Italy itself yesterday. Beautiful country, wonderful people & culture, rich history & great food. To comment that you find a method of doing something is illogical, confusing or frustrating shouldn't cause anyone offence: it's just a fact. Keep on being yourself x
Thank you Andrea! I think a lot of people took that as offensive.
@@VillaAroldi then, in my humble opinion, they weren't really listening to you properly 😁
People don’t seem to realize they can just stop watching a video. No need to post a snarky comment. We all get enough of those comments IRL.
@@wendyhale2189 Haha exactly, but everyone always feel the need to comment what they think about things, very funny that.
Also, a lot of people have no sense of humour. I appreciate your dry wit!
The big lesson in social media is skipping over the "Negative Nancys". If they point out a problem without providing a solution- ignore them. Keep at it, and rally onwards. Great job, especially while providing daily content.
Haha, I think you are right Rodney!
Thank you I will for sure keep at it, it's the only way!
Yes, there are a small number of deluded viewers who think that you are required to answer to them for a channel that they watch for free and on a subject that they have no understanding.🙄
Yay!! You've reached a point where absolutely everything you do shows as huge progress! It is going to be fabulous. As always, I continue to believe that if you could get the underground work completed and those ditches filled - that would improve your outlook. Thanks for the video.
Yes exactly and we are doing everything we can to make that happen as soon as possible, it's very difficult getting hold of any tradesmen that have time, the only ones that do are the ones that comes in with quite ridiculous offers, I guess that is why the have the time 😂
I watch your videos and feel inspired to start tackling all the projects around my home. Of course, that inspiration fades the moment your videos end, but it's a fun feeling for a little bit. :D Seriously though, I am truly in awe of the amount of work and progress y'all have made. I would love to have the seemingly endless energy you have. I'd also love to go for some Italian pizza. I look forward to what's next!
Thank you!
Just go and do it, start somewhere and make a mess, that's going to force you to continue 😂
I have lived in many different countries- there is something to love about all of them and equally each has their frustrations, nothing wrong with feeling the frustration! The plumbing situation you described makes no sense to me either! Anyway- onward- hope Anna is back soon so you can have some additional help.
Yes exactly!
I hope so too, she is very missed here, 2 more weeks and she is back.
It's all good. I didn't hear anything against Italy. It's all beautiful. One day you ll be eating your BBQ out on a patio looking at those beautiful Italian sunsets.
Haha that's great!
Yes, can't wait to do that!!
Most Italians have a love/hate relationship with Italy, primarily along the same lines as yours. They hate the bureaucracy, the government, and the length of time it takes to get anything done. But they also love the rich history, the natural and architectural beauty, the food, the music and I could go on. Blatant patriotism is not a typical feature of the people. They see the good and they see the bad.
Yes, that sounds just like me! 😂
as an Italian I can confirm 😂
It's crazy how much is happening now! Well done!
Thank you, feels like I am not making much progress here in the mud 😂
those tiny wells (grey water derivation boxes) are quite important grey water pipes over the years acumulate dirt and nasty stuff arround them( worst in calcarium geografical areas), they provide easy access to the pipes in different stages to clean them easely, the contracter in my house cheaped out on those and caused a lot of issues a few years ago we had to hire another contracter to add more derivation boxes and to fix the pipes.
Absolutely, we are gonna have those too, not just 10 of them when there is need for maybe 3-4.
the bathroom walls look great....a window above bathroom door would be amazing....👍😎💖
It is actually quite a cool idea if It were not for the fact that you would easily see right into to the bathroom from the floor above so it will unfortunately be covered.
Frosted glass will do botj: add charm and needed privacy while providing a natural light into the bathroom. I would do it now so you would not regret later. Been there before on my remodelings.
@@whyzeep3778 Haha yes, I am sure I would regret it if I were not to do it. We will see, Ill talk to Anna about it.
If anyone's done a construction project, they know how frustrating it is...no matter what country you are in. We did a house in California and it was a total nightmare, almost put me in the mental hospital. I found myself wanting to blow up certain places and even said it out load to a few people who reminded this wasn't a good thing to be saying. Anyway - I just chalked your comments up to re-model frustration. But I will say some Italians may take offence but I'm sure going forward you will keep this in mind. Its going to be so beautiful and worth all you are going thru now. 😊
Yes, very much so and thank you!
What are you going to use for the huge openings in the sides of the building? When will it be dried in? You have been working so hard.
You mean the large opening? It will be a glass window there with a sliding door, if it ever shows up that is 😂
That was a busy day! No need to spend any time at the gym. ;-) I'm curious about the triangle over the bathroom door. Are you putting in a translucent panel to let in some light?
Bureaucracy can move very slowly in other countries, too. Workers in the building trades are booked up many months in advance almost everywhere, so they don't always come when expected. It's a good thing that you can do some of the work yourself. You need lots of patience with a project like this!
Haha, I know, the gym is mostly to keep an healthy mind, it's my place to zone out and think of nothing construction related.
Actually it's just me not having put plaster boards up there before I had the door I wanted as I were unsure what kind of measurement I would get hold of, I will cover it shortly.
Yes, that one thing I don't really have, patience 🙏🏼 😂
@@VillaAroldi a tran
A translucent panel seems a good idea!
@@giugiufo6675 Yes, we will see!
We have strange things in all countries.....even my own! 😊😊
I guess that's just the way it is.
I have lived and travelled in many countries and I can say that it’s pretty standard for people to voice their frustrations with the bureaucracy of that country and say things like”that’s how it works in South Africa, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, France, USA etc etc!” ….. No need for people to take those comments personally or be offended by them. 😊😊😊😊
Yes so true, every country has their things.
Witam zrobiłeś kawał dobrej roboty możesz być z siebie dumny serdecznie pozdrawiam
Thank you!
Sempre bello vederti andare avanti! Metterai uno sfiato in bagno?
Grazie mille!
Yes, there will an automatic fan with a timer that goes on as soon as the light is on.
👨🏻🎨🍕😊
Yes! It was great.
Everyday, a little more.
Yes, baby steps!
Will there be bedrooms in the barn?
Not now, but in the future we have plans to build an apartment upstairs with 2 bedrooms.
You said nothing offensive about Italy….you just pointed out how different the country is from other countries…I found it interesting. Someday we will visit this amazing country.
Quite a few people took offense I guess some people just cant hear anything negative without having the need to comment about it.
Yes please do, it's truly amazing here! SO much to see and great food everywhere!
What will be jnstalled above the bathroom door in that triangular opening?
Nothing special, just plaster boards like the rest, I just haven't done it yet.
@@VillaAroldi maybe some clear glass or frosted glass so you could have some natural light coming into the bathroom.
Italians do strange things 😜
Some things are strange here yes, but it's the same everywhere I guess. But it can get frustrating sometimes 😂
Like.
Thank you Iren!
My son, it pains me to watch you apply the drywalling compound. It took me a long time to learn as well. Instead of using the dish cloth method, try a large sponge and work it in a circular motion. this will also help you get rid of the excess compound residue. The corners, there is no getting away from the sanding blocks, however, I think the key might be to put the compound on sparingly as well do one side of the corner at a time. The paper corner should stay in place by putting a small layer of compound on first. Wish I was there to help you. Good Luck. All of this is just a suggestion.
Not sure I understand you correctly, I used a sponge, but in order to use it the job must first be decent, there cant be too much to remove with the sponge method. (come to think of it. It was probably a time lapse and therefore hard for you guys to see).
Unfortunately I could not get hold of the paper corners here in Italy so I am using all metal even though it's a complete overkill.
Thank you for the cornering tip, Ive never tried that but will absolutely try it in the corners I have left! 🙏🏼
Invest in a dustless sander vacuum from Festool. It will make finishing the drywall easier and safer. You'll get a smoother finish faster.
I think that we who are brought up in the north countries are ... I do not know... we hate to have the work hanging over us so we go on and on and on to finish that as soon as possible, are we running away from the weather ? like when I was a kid I used to run to my friend because when I walked it took much longer time so I ran rather then walk. Anyway in may country everything should be done yesterday that you decide to do today....
😂 that do sound like me actually!
You don't need to be a foreigner to complain about Italian building restrictions or burocracy. Italians, like my husband, also complain. Both my husband and I are electricians and bit by bit we are transforming the very unsafe electric system in our 65yr old house to a more up to date European standard.
Haha, that is so funny. So, why are they using so many junction boxes? (And they are all huge too!)
@@VillaAroldi they don't want to make any connections or splits in small circular junction boxes up on the wall (like they use to do) or behind sockets.
Installation wise a bigger junction box is much easier, also when you want to change anything in the future.
Problem is, those boxes are ugly...
In our upstairs appartement we managed to have only 2 and sort of hidden behind a door.
The appartement downstairs is still in use by nonna and we are not allowed to renovate, yet. 🙄 All the wires are connected in the wall inside little round boxes, and the stuc is on top of them.
However, we did make a new fuse panel behind the central power input. From zero fuses (no eart leakage, no other other circuit breakers), we went to 4 earth leakage and 10 normal circuit breakers. We have another fuse panel upstairs and outside in the lavanderia/taverna.
Maybe over the top, but so handy when you need to have some work done.
😂😂😂😂 first off, ppl criticizing you for being frustrated and annoyed by things apparently have no issues themselves! Anyway, before you know that bathroom will be done.
Hopefully they left already 😂
quello che per te può sembrare illogico per un impiantista è la regola come andrebbe fatto un lavoro, regole che vanno applicate per legge e regole fisiche e tecniche, che per chi non è del mestiere possono sembrare piuttosto astruse, poi che tu non vuoi farle applicare, queste regole, sono affari tuoi, e come già ti avevo detto un'altra volta, non ti lamentare se un impiantista non vuole lavorare per te e ti pianta in asso con il lavoro.
Si ma comunque non è normale piantare in asso durante un lavoro o non presentarsi mai alle date stabilite...
Yes, you are right, we have however not had any of the tradesmen leaving us with work undone, all of the people that have worked for us has been very skilled apart from one which I were not really super impressed by the craftmanship, our muratore for example is a true artisan and does some amazing work!
@WonderBroadcast Yes quite a lot of people have forgotten about meetings we have had and when we call them they say, sorry I will be there in half an hour and then show up 1.5 hour later and so on. I guess workmen are just too busy at the moment, I think it's a backlash of the 110%.
I apologize if I was a little rude in a previous post, but I can't stand people criticizing my country without knowledge of the facts.
Building is made up of rules and tradition.
The rules refer to the UNI standards (equivalent to the German DIN) which regulate every technical aspect of building (read as: to save yourself from lawyers and courts).
For tradition there are "only" three thousand years of art and knowledge.
There would be a third aspect: bureaucracy, but this transcends logic 🤔
Yes absolutely and I understand that otherwise all of the old beautiful buildings would be ruined like they are now with the 110% and people putting over 15cm of insulation over them making the windows look horrible and way to inwards in the house, it's very sad to see.
I have never seen such craftmanship when it comes to our Muratore for example, but the use of wells for the drainage is ridiculous, as well as the number of junction boxes for electricity, there really is no need for it, at least not this many of them so I would say that is just a bit of over regulation.
For the many "pozzetti", in addition to tradition (see the "cloaca maxima" in Rome ;-) there is a very simple reason: Italians don't like putting their hands in the poo; they are ugly, but when there is a problem they are a panacea.
In countries where more grass and less concrete and/or stone are used, it is easier to dig to solve the problem.
For junction boxes the explanation is just as simple, Italy was a poor country and copper cost too much to get directly to the main switchboard with all the lines, the economic reason no longer exists but traditionally we continue in the same way.
Good work.
@@Stefano2856 😂 I cant think of anyone that likes to have their hands in poo, haha.
Thank you for the explanation about the number of pozzetti being used, and the that makes sense for the electricity but as you said, in today's world I really can't see why one would still do that. This is exactly the type of comments that are great, know I got to learn something!! Much appreciated 🙏🏼
Meant to write annoying not enjoying. Michele.
