#4 Electricity, Starlink & first time using a chainsaw - Renovating a house in Italy 

Not only do I like watching your progress on your property but love the beautiful photography.

i love your attitude towards the farm and maybe life itself. calm, focussed and not taking it too serious.

The turning on and off of the lights gave me creepy movie vibes. Lol…love it.♥️♥️♥️

Best video yet. Nicely done. Less like an art film , more like your story. BTW you can buy a chimney brush cleaning kit , measure the inside diameter of your chimney pipe to get the correct kit. The aerator screen in your sink faucet is probably clogged. 😊 Eric.

I could stare at those bright stars for hours, they seem so close and reaching, Italy is also known for falling stars, and I wish to experience it on a fresh smelling grass natural carpet. San Lorenzo, as they call it or the spectacular feast of the falling stars, took place before the summer ended. Thank you for taking the time to share your fantastic journey in your new found lovely home.

Hello there again I`m pleased to be seeing you guys back again on the Italian farm👍🏻, Congratulations It`s sensible to buy the Chainsaw👍🏻 safe for a lot of hard work with the bowsaw. Congratulations on the Installment of functional electricity it is nice to have e light in the House, also with the installation of the gas tank and the Starlink👍🏻very nice I hope be seeing more of the furniture and the step-by-step progress of the renovation of the farmhouse and the property🇮🇹🙏🏻☮👏🏻, keep up the good work🍀👍🏻. 🇳🇱🇳🇴Greetings Hubertus

Good job guys!! Don't complain too much about Italy, we Italians already do it.

Love your story telling and cinematography. Welcome home. the blossoming trees were so pretty.

Hello from Australia. Nothing better than switching on a light when you haven’t had electricity for a while 😊😊😊

The stats in the night sky over your house are amazing! Spectacular!

Isis and Bertus, welcome back to your idyllic alpine farm. I just noticed I have a 3rd episode to watch, so today is a double-feature for me. The photography was spectacular: the neighboring village tower, followed by the red blossoms adorning the house. And then there was light! Or should I say a Bertus' Light Show? :o) So happy for you now that you have electricity and new heating system coming soon. Things are speeding along just fine! Oh, I also think that going with the flow IS the plan!

Careful when cutting the fig tree as the sap can burn your skin. You don’t feel anything at the time but the skin starts to blister 24hrs later.

The problem with the faucet in the kitchen might just be a clogged up filter. On most faucets you can take those of to clean by turning them clockwise with pliers or something similair. The light switching clips where hilarious 😂

I can’t wait to see more and more of that beautiful countryside and homestead you guys call home 👍🏼

You have made me fall madly in love with rural Italy

The setting is great, but the stars at night are glorious. You will be able to spend many nights sitting outside and enjoying the atmosphere.What an exciting journey!

Fantastic to have electricity and some water :)

I hope you get settled into your new home a lot sooner than you expected to . It looks like you're going to have a wonderful adventure ahead.

Nice Stijl chainsaw! I own 3 of them. Make sure you put the chain on in the right direction, avoid hitting dirt or rocks, buy spare chains, and wear chainsaw chaps and a protective helmet with face guard and ear protection. 😀 Eric.

Welcome back home. Glad that your internet is working, especially that one has to rely on having it, in this day and age. Look forward to watching you in your adventure renovating your home.

Genuine lol at 'we bought a chainsaw'. The time saved just by that alone for tidying up/cutting firewood will be immeasurable.

Starry starry night, song by Don Mclean for you nice people✨ Many long days of hard work💪Mona from Israel🌷🌲

A chainsaw! Thanks goodness! You were making me anxious with the handsaw but I understand you were limited with the room in your car. Well done! So much easier for you! ❤

Very interesting! I worked from home for years, so I know what good connections mean. I’m glad you found the source even though it cost you more. I’m glad you’re able to see your people commenting because most of us love following people from the beginning that’s what you do when you’re retired lol. You have a blessed day!

The light switch montage was hilarious! TY for the laughs.😆💕

Nice video thanks - but those 17 minutes flew bye :-( So lucky you tracked the Skylink package down...

So glad to see you are making progress! Keep up the good work!!!

А какое небо над вами, ребята! Красотища!

So excited for you to be moved into the house and that you have electricity, gas, water, and internet! Janice from Arkansas USA

Chimney soot is very valuable. Use it in the garden as a soil improver.

I see a lot of corrosion around your tap. At the end of the spout, it screws off usually & this contains a small filter. This could be blocked causing low or no pressure. Just a suggestion. Enjoying the show. Keep up the good work.

Great to see you back!! Spring is in the air!! You will use that chainsaw often...it is a valuable tool. It would make short work of the fig tree. We use ours often on our woodlot for dead fell, taking down lower branches etc. You have water! You have electricity!! (Stop playing with the lights Bertus...Lol ) You have warmth from the fire and Internet on the way! Things are really coming together! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I am excited for you!

You are living in the most beautiful place!

Ребята, я думала, что вы сюда на постоянное место жительство переехали уже в прошлом году и здесь живете, постепенно обживая и благоустраивая жилище и постройки.

My favorite brand of chainsaw. Great purchase!!!

Progress! 😄

Bravo on your awesome home & here's to success with your restoration projects & a great future in Italy.

So happy for you that you are back and everything is working out well with electricity and internet. Keep going like this it is great to see and have a peak into your adventure.

How exciting that you are really getting started on your new adventure! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

So very pleased to see that you are back to your new home. The scenery from your drive to Italy was beautiful as was the star scene at the end of this video. I just love everything about your vlogs. Hope we don't have to wait too long until the next one. 🌷

Lights, water and a chainsaw!! Moving forward , much luck!

Amazing and beautiful property you have. I would recommend a Fiskars pruning saw with a D handle (or something similar). Much more stable than a bow saw and you will be amazed at how fast you can cut down small trees and limbs.

11:16 > 11:42 lol, this whole sequence was very funny! It reminded me of Magritte!

You can tell how excited you were to get electricity. 🎉🎉 too funny😅😅

How exciting! Lots happening! It must feel good to have electricity and water - even if the kitchen supply looks a bit sad 😂 How fortunate to have someone to show you how to use a chainsaw safely, that’s very sensible. Looking forward to what is next :)

Had a giggle at the creative lighting and disappearing man shots!

Love it!!!

Greetings from Ukraine. Starlink is a real salvation when there is no connection. And even electricity 😀

Love that you sang Chim-chiminey - music is a global uniter; and who doesn't love Julie Andrews! I wish you all the best in this move and getting the farm house just the way you want it.

excited for this!

I enjoy watching your channel.

Glad you got your electricity turned on.

Nice to see you back! Good luck and stay by "go with the flow" and enjoy!

What a nice Surprise to see you both back in Italy at the Homestead wishing You Spring Blessings

Such little things can make all the difference! Excited to see the progress! That night sky was amazing!!🤗🇨🇦

we have a house in Piemonte and there is one advice I wld like to give, try and find a gas provider where you can communicate with the driver for filling the tank, also you should keep the option to buy the tank if you are away from the nearest village and you are not connected to the metano gas. Calling the company when you need filling up is a total hassle, do not use liquigas, we made bad experiences with them, use butangas if you can, good luck with everything, it's going to be superb ... I forgot to say, if you buy the tank you are free to choose a gas provider, if the one that you have does not deliver according to your needs you may change, if you do not buy it you don't have this option, liquigas used to tell me when it is time to fill the tank, we also live abroad and are totalyl rely on somebody that delivers the gas when we say, they made me so mad that one day after many, many years being their customers I had everything ripped out and made them come collect it ...

How exciting for you both !! Power and Internet !

We are deep in the Southern Hemisphere and your night sky looks so different, your property is very beautiful and I look forward to this journey with you.

Dat is een goede keuze geweest om juist die zaag te kopen. Dat was een goed advies van die vriend. Dat schoorsteen vegen gaf aardig wat troep. Kon je ook vanaf de bovenkant van de pijp erbij? Sommige dingen zoals water, electriciteit en internet zijn basis behoeften en dat merk je pas als je het niet hebt of maar gedeeltelijk hebt . Ik hoop dat het met de gas tank goed gaat,want ik zag nogal wat gesteente her en der de kop opsteken en dat gaat het ingraven echt bemoeilijken. Succes met de paperassen en tot de volgende video.

With all of the creature comforts or at least most of them you both are off to a Great start. Looking forward to watching your adventure. Just be positive and in time you both will get there. peace to you both!

What a beautiful journey you both are on. I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing and keep up the hard work! ❤

Those stunning views make all the hard work worth it!! Wow!

🎼Chim chimney 🤣😄 love your vlogs

That beautiful quince shrub and that starlit sky!! Wow!!

Love seeing this. My family is from Italy. Last time anyone was there was 1971. See your a spinner. So am I. OH and check you head on your kitchen sink. Sometimes it clogs with sentiment and the water just trickles out. Hope to see more.

#chainsaw #ppe #personalprotectiveequipment #safetyfirst. Can’t wait to see how this project moves along!

Hi again, this is now my second video, I am going to go back to the beginning and catch up, I am very happy, you have heat and electricity, and now your internet. The starlite sky looked beautiful. Congratulations, on everything so far.

Bravi.....ben venuto al' Italia

There is screen filter on the end of the faucet take a little brush and clean it. If you have an in line home water filter on the pipe to the sink. It's filter may need to be replaced.

I am so happy I found Your channel and at the beginning of the Journey so so exciting

Ahh..the luxury of hydro😁

Great to see you back at 'it'. Was a bit curious about why you cooked dinner on a camp stove when you have a (now)functioning wood stove in the kitchen?

Cool update! Can't wait to see more

Wat een mooie thuis komen! De bloesem aan de bomen. Geur van de houtfournhuis ,heerlijk! Fijn dat er water is en elektra, ook veel makkelijker toch. Alles stap voor stap dan kom je er uiteindelijk ook. Vindt jullie project prachtig om te zien😊 Geniet er samen maar van!❤ Groeten van Truus

So glad to see you back at the cascina! I love your videos. Bev in Colorado USA

Geweldig leuk om jullie te kunnen en mogen volgen tijdens jullie avonturen. Prachtig he de nachtelijke hemel als er vrijwel geen lichtvervuiing is😍 Succes en ik kijk uit naar het volgende vlog.

I am really enjoying watching your progress. I moved to the valleys of SW France 17 years ago, and it feels very similar. I wish you every success, and am looking forward to watching your next episode. Gorgeous house, and beautiful countryside.

So happy you are back! Good days ahead for you in your renovation. You are excellent vlog makers🤩🤩💐

Your time is your own. No rat race anymore.

Making great progress! So exciting to get electricity, water, and internet. You are almost there!

Stunning!.....so beautiful❤

So glad things are moving ahead for you now.

Happy to know you don’t always plan and go with the flow. It’s much less stressful and healthier. Congratulations from a 3rd generation Italian Canadian born.

This is so exciting!

Zo mooi die sterren. Leuk om de voortgang zo te kunnen volgen!

Looking forward to seeing your progress. 🤗

Great, I have 6 acres in TN (USA) and enjoying it.

All the way from South Australia, I like that brand milk for my coffee, but only when it's on special. Very expensive here. Take care, I have just started watching

Hello from New Zealand. I am so looking forward to your exciting journey. What a charming place and beautiful location. Autumn here so it is very nice to be watching your spring arrive.

Bravi, I see in this video that you bought machine to cut the tree! ❤

I have heard if you burn dried potato peel in your stove it will clean the chimney for you,haven’t tried it but the chimney sweep on The chateau diaries told them to do it. So glad you bought the right protective gear for the chainsaw and had instruction before you used it hope the gas is now on .the sky and blossom was beautiful.

Lets just hope the lights don't start flickering like that on their own.

Wonderful! You must be so happy to have some amenities at last! Look forward to following your journey..

What a nice experience you guys will have. What is the final plan for the homestead?

So enjoying your journey!

Hello. Love to see your progress. :). What are chainsaw pants?

Good luck with the farm, I will be watching from my chair😊

progress

Good to see you are settling in to your new home 👍
