#1 My house in the Italian countryside 

Me too, I also wish I could help you. Beautiful property. Wishing you all the best. From an American expat living in Thailand.

My suggestion is to make a lot of lists! Lists of things to do by season, inside, outside, garden, chicken area, etc. Then number each thing by highest to lowest priority. After 3 years in our homestead we still utilize lists. It helps us to not get too overwhelmed. As my Dad always says "One bite at a time!"

I love your house and the land it comes with. I do hope that you have a tractor! Now, what you call "problems" are really projects. That veggie area and the chicken coops look great; the wet wood can be dried in a kiln (and that wood is worth a lot of money); and get used to mice in the countryside. Learn to control the damage they cause because they live there just like you do. I wish you a very happy life in this wonderful place in Umbria, perhaps not too far from Siena, a truly beautiful city.

So exciting! Can't wait to go on the journey with you through RU-vid and... I'm waiting for some chickens hehe

such a beatytiful area

It feels ful of love and happiness - wonderful - well done - I wish I could help, I send a big smile in support

nice. for once a normal place. quite refreshing. yard doesn't look too bad really. nothing a few days (or weeks) of labour (and disposal runs) can't fix. step by step and you'll get there.

Good luck with the government to get approval for the things you need to do. I wish h you all the best❣️

I can hep you, I've lived in Umbria and I'm rather handy with renovations and garden/outdoor work as well

More Catio. :)

Ouch...a bit of an impulse buy?
