#31 OVER 1 YEAR SUMMARY - renovation of the house and garden area in Italy | borgo baroti 

Thank you! Our dream is to have beautiful, big and colorful garden

Thank you!

We don’t do the „classic” floor heating. We will use underfloor heating mats ❤️ we will install them very soon so I guess you will be able to see them in next episode

No me gusta. Es terrible lo que han invadido un suelo tan precioso.

Thank you, we try to create a beautiful space for our guests and ourselves 😊

Thank you for being with us 😍

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes, we plan to rent some of the buildings, but not earlier than 2025

@@borgobaroti Good for you, for me It seems a good choice.

Thank you for your comment. We answered for similar question several times in regular episodes. In short: only “the bigger” building is treated like a house on the whole property. The rest of the budiligs are treated like a stable, so they are not adapted to the apartment where you are able to live - we had to do that. In this case rebudilding (with the new, modern materials - because you must meet appropriate construction conditions e.g. earthquake reinforcement) was the best option. To preserve the appearance of the Tuscan-style house (this is also a requirement and we also like it), we used old stone that was dismantled from the house. The bigger house which you see on the video will be preserved through a restoration as you mentioned but we also have to use modern technologies to meet current construction conditions

@@borgobaroti thanks for the clarification and apologies if it was asked already. In my experience different architects and technicians will propose different options depending on their level of expertise in conservation and their sensitivity to historical preservation. I do think we are guardians of an ancient bulding's history rather than their exclusive owners, and it is our responsibility to pass it on to future generations in the best state possible. Often times less invasive options are available with a bit of research and effort, which would allow to keep the modern alterations to a minimum. It is about finding the right professional for the job, which can sometimes be a challenge but not impossible. So good luck with that!

@@unternehme no problem, better to ask the way than to go astray😊

@@michlblacksmith it was necessary in our opinion and it was the best choice (we and our team decided). You can always buy your property and renovate it on your own terms (slower, investing more money). Here you will always find a combination of modern technology and traditional look because this is what we like 😊

@@michlblacksmith ok, you are right. The buildings with non-efficient insulation are better because later they consume much more carbon and electricity etc., which is very ecological. Many times we were spending vacations in buildings with bad insulation and ventilation (usually old buildings) and the planty of humidity and bad air there isn’t normal to leave in it healthily. In one of our episode we talk about insulation we chose and we explained why but I assume you didn’t even look there. I don't see any further need to exchange opinions. You have your vision which I respect but not accept in this case and we have ours - this one we will implement.

We’re recording every day but I want the video to be interesting so I want to put there more than one “work” ❤️ I hope I will be able to add new episode in February 😊 we miss you all too!!

We called it renovation because this word also includes rebuilding. Rebuilding was necessary in this case because this building was “a stable”

Sure! I will create it today

Yes, we want to rent some of the buildings but first we need to renovate them🙂

One of them will be our home and the rest will be rented

We will renovate all buildings but one by one. The big one which you see very often on the video will be our private house and the rest of buildings will be rented soon or later 😊 I encourage you to watch all the regular episodes (they are short). We say more there

Nothing is finished yet so don’t worry! It will be very nice! 😃

We think about it, we want to use plants which are popular in this region. In this area we’ll probably do a pool too. All the buildings will be renovated as soon as possible and part of them we want to rent.

@@borgobaroti Thanks for the reply. Waiting to see new videos.

there was a big rain already and nothing happened but to be clear, this is not the final look of the road. We talk about it more is previous episode

Yes, you usually have to work if you want to make your dreams come true 😉

Even if they're blessed to have the "dollars" ...look at how many skilled labors have been employed BECAUSE of it!!!!! That helps creates PROSPERITY for EVERYONE!!!!!!

Nasz plan: wyremontować wszystkie budynki w niezbyt odległym czasie 😅

Yes, we’re polish 🙂

bin in polen geboren @@borgobaroti

This house is for us (the rest ones we want to rent soon or later) and due to the fact that this building is the main building on the property (has between 400-200 years) we have to renovated it in stone by stone (so it’s harder and more time consuming than renovation of the rest of buildings) that’s why we leave it for the future, I guess 2025/2026. In 2024 we start renovation of the building which we are staying in for now

we looked at properties in Tuscany on the Internet. We haven’t had any specific website to look. We focused on “ruins” (because we wanted to renovate the building on our own terms) and beautiful view 😊

to renovate them all, one by one as soon as possible and rent some of them 😊

Sono molto contento della scelta che avete fatto, io abito vicino a voi!

@@stefanocapacci thank you for your comment. We are happy that Italian people also follow our journey and like it😊

I really like the care with which you are renovating in Tuscan style, complimenti @@borgobaroti

Poland 😊

@@borgobarotiI knew it from the beginning since polish people are fantastic in building. And the whole family and friends help to work ! I had the luck to work with polish people !

@@manfred4766 haha thank you, you can be right. To be more specific our construction team is local (Italian) but we’re polish 😊

@@borgobaroti nevertheless, fantastic work. It is a huge project and you have achieved a lot !

Not really

I see that this video isn’t enough for you to understand. You can still watch the rest of them

Please watch the rest of episodes, we explain everything 😊 and yes…renovation is also a rebuilding

I always add subtitles, turn them on, it would be easier. I hope my english isn’t as bad as you say. I will dispel your doubts, I’m polish 😊
