​​The convent we just bought in Italy 

now if that were mine but it ain't I would spend this summer on only debrushing the whole prpoerty and sandbllasting practically all exterior walls and some nterior wall. just to see what I all have. You cannot redo a convent when you have no oversight. Most people will throw themselves on the inside. That has a beginning but no end at this stage. Do jobs now that make you feel making progress. Learn to love that baby. Colourwise I would maintain the rusty colourscheme of that stable door and the kinda smoked oak of that other door. Man and woman that is a work you know. Now what concerns me most is that wet ceiling in the kitchen..NOT GOOD. You sit with a leak on the roof. Detect that leak and fix it. OPen the windows this summer with hot wether so that that building dries out. Before next winter make sure the hole roof is tight, relay shales or cover temporalilly with a plastic. Make sure your scarce water tap will be islolated with thick cloth (any) before frost sets in.(End of October) Detect the water pit cuz you will need all that free water to do your renovation with.(Making plaster and mortar, cleaning feeding plants. Detect the shit pit and drain it well open on your fiels and gardens. Foresee loads of burning wood for your open fires; I necessary cut off a big big tree. Open fires eat wood like monsters. Keep smaller branches aside you'll need that to set fire and bake bread in your oven Lay it to dry in a mythe where there is wind (a hill) and then store it in a dry stable. Man before even thinking of doing the inside do ESSENTIAL outside jobs. Another big concern ist that driveway. Buying gravel is expensive but you will need a firm driveway in winter to haul your materials on. Fill up pits with leftover stones and bricks and debris you'll find right now on the premises. Get ypurself two wheelbarrows, a good chainsaw, a couple of buckets all size, a water hose, 2 shovels 1 spade a compressor you can blast with an scaffold wooden 6by6 a roll of thick industrial plastic 4 overalls works boots a cap or two a big sledge hammer a smaller hammer a shivel medium size a cow foot a water pump and a good lawn mower (ISEKI 595 BRIGGS° in an iron shop. And rest! for five minutes. Do you have a towing hook on your car? Buy a small trailer max 750 KGS to haul up your materilas. Ciao ...la bella Italia dolce far niente MY ASS

Did you know that in Italy, if you purchase a building of historical interest such as a former convent or other, you must have authorization from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Environment to renovate it? You must also ask your local municipality what the intended use of the building is. Are you sure that they will give you habitability, that is, the possibility of living in it? It is always better to make these types of purchase contracts with an expert such as a lawyer or a trusted notary so as not to have the renovation work carried out blocked.

Welcome to Italy and congratulations on your project ❤👏👍💪

Well. Good luck with the building permission and building companies in Italy. 😅

Wow what am amazing place you bought. So glad I have a chance to watch all this from the beginning. The views and the oldness there is fantastic! Just great!

What a gem you have found. I Love every inch of it and look forward to learn its history and see your vision and progres of your project.

Fantastic opportunity, I’m excited to hear your story and see what you do with it. Stay strong!

Fantastic editing work on this and a wonderful, large property with a lot of work needed. Good luck and wishing you the best.

Start at the roof. Roof eaves, soffits and fascia. Vapor barrier? Gutters system next. Is there a cistern? Make sure water drains away from the house. Windows next, careful with the frames. For the plaster, stucco or lime based mud just keep the mold in check for now. Does the 110 Bonus apply to individual homes in Italy. Too bad Brexit will limit your time in Italy. Good luck.

This is a dream property loaded with great history and incredible views. What you already have is very challenging, so please keep it real. Best wishes.

Beautiful, just beautiful. I would love to see more.

So Beautiful there ... what an amazing project!

Great way to start a new life together. Can't wait to see more of what happens...

Wow! What a story this will be. Looking forward to your journey as you discover and recover this amazing property. Love it well!!

holly monk ey...lol...that place is gorgeous so much potential..

It's beautiful, can't wait to follow your journey.

Your place reminds me of that movie A Walk in the Clouds. Beautiful. Dreamy. Mysterious, in a fun way. Enjoy!

Beautiful group of buildings, amazing project. Like your style of filming too. Good luck guys.

Cool. I like your video style. And what a great find!

Love the filming , keep it up !!!

First and most urgent port of call is clearing all of the vegetation, especially that of which is growing in or on the walls and (carefully) removing any trees whose roots are impinging on walls as this will reduce the likelihood of stonework instability. Second, do as much stonework stabilisation as needed ASAP and DON'T use cement or concrete based mortar or renders. This is because moisture can get into cement based products, cant get out, and if it freezes, it will expand, cracking the mortar and stonework alike with the potential to create dangerous instability. Given that Italy is very prone to earthquakes, ensuring that those ancient ruins are as stable as possible is important to prevent a tragic and avoidable accident. It WILL be more expensive to use lime based mortar and render upfront, but FAR FAR cheaper and safer in the long term than the modern cement based equivalents - as many a restoration/renovation property owner has learnt to their cost. Since this is an ancient historic site, there may be government grants to help with the work, so don't be shy about seeking this out. It's not made clear in the video whether or not the property is subject to listed conservation legislation status, so before commencing any structural work, check first or you could be in for some nasty and very expensive surprises. Most of all, seek advice. If you don't already have experience in this field, ask, ask, ask. It will help to avoid expensive and in some cases, dangerous mistakes. I wish you both every success in your endeavour to bring this property back to life. Good luck.

Ви придбали мрію). Але ж скільки роботи😮. Та ви молоді, вірю справитесь. Вдачі.

to keep a dog is also very recommendable. Now if our wife is getting too picky or very silent ..you still have that dog as a companion....

First and foremost fix or replace the roof.

Good Luck!

Oh, what a beautiful property! I also just bought a rectory (though it's in ruins) in a nearby village. I believe we have the same local geometra! Good luck, it's a big project!

Looks like you went viral with your first video. Capitalize with scheduled videos if possible before we forget the channel

Please post the price breakdown and how you found the property

Wow!

To renovate a compound of this size will take more than a decade on your own. Please try to get some skilled helpers if or when budget permits.. Be careful, I wouldn't put too much trust in the integrity of some of those walls..

Sono considerati immobili di interesse storico ed artistico tutti quegli edifici che sono sottoposti a vincolo monumentale con decreto del ministro dei beni culturali ed ambientali, così come prescritto dal Decreto Legislativo n° 490/1999.2 dic 2022

A few years later... 🤔?

The Fourteen Stations of the Cross are points along the Via Dolorosa, the route Jesus took through the streets of Jerusalem from his condemnation to crucifixion. Each one of the Stations signifies where a particular event took place.

Good luck. Looks like an endless project. How do you earn money. Property tax, income tax, utilities? Is there a well?

maybe the square was an ols swimming pool

Looks interesting but a lot of work. Best of luck for you two😊

I have to ask. What region of Italy? What was the cost?

All wonderful but I can't imagine in winter with snow! Where in Italy? How high on the mountain?

2 woke gen. Z in italy what can go wrong😂

Fantastic editing work on this and a wonderful, large property with a lot of work needed. Good luck and wishing you the best.
