#5 Finally sleeping at the farm and a surprise discovery - Renovating in Italy 

I'm really enjoying the pacing of your videos. You've got a great mix of beautiful scenery, drone shots of the surroundings, "vlog" style to show what you are working on and you sitting down talking to give updates. I find it both relaxing and interesting to watch. I can't wait to see what this year holds for you :)

I love the calm, tranquil feel of your show, and the music suits well. Bravo!😊

I have enjoyed the way you have shown your progress I would love you to give us more now your there … it’s so very beautiful and I’m loving it x

Dear Isis & Bertus. Another magical film thank you.. A

Hi, Bertus & Isis well I´m awake for some hours and did enjoy the new update enjoying my coffee in the meantime, I have to say Bertus did manage the Chainsaw very well and carefully👍🏻 there I would take care and stay safe, wow it`s indeed great and lovely environment surrounding the Farm and the property🇮🇹, you guys make progress step by step👏🏻. keep up the good work🍀☮, 🇳🇱🇳🇴🙏🏻Greetings Hubertus.

I'm so happy for you to finally make it home and sleep under your own roof! I love a new adventure and this is a big one in my opinion! I'm so enjoying seeing what the family before has done/ left behind and see what you consider valuable and reusable. Thank you for sharing your adventure! From Canada😎

Yes , I could sit and watch the views all day as well. Congratulations on being able to sleep in the house . HOpe the olive trees can be revived

Ciao Isis and Bertus, congratulations on finally being home, the sunrise was just beautiful, now the renovations begin. How exciting you have olive trees. I am so looking forward to the transformation your beautiful Cascina will take as you set out to bring her back to her former glory. Love from N.Y.

We have a quite large olive tree in the garden, facing north .. for now.. no olives yet.. but keeping the spirit up.. as you are.. small steps.. but eventually…great videos

Brava signora Isis, parla anche Italiano! La auguro buon lavoro e tanti sogni realizzati nella nuova casa! ❤

14:36 E' stata una sorpresa per me sentirti parlare così bene in italiano. Grazie e ciao!

How beautiful to see your surroundings so peaceful and tranquil together with hearing your praises of it. Thanks again for sharing.

Great job filming and love the changes along with the beautiful wildlife

l was hooked when the spinning wheel came out of the car in Vlog #1!

Bertus and Isis I love your videos and can’t wait to see more. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Bev in Colorado USA

How nice to find the olive trees, and how lovely to wake up to such a beautiful vista!

The views from your farm are intoxicating, what a way to get motivated for the day ahead

Congratulations on the move guys! And how good to find 10 olive trees, very good fortune, greetings!

I love your vlogs! So beautiful and artsy! And so much fun to see the little improvements to the house.

This instalment went so quickly! Already looking forward to the next one.

We are loving your gentle and interesting updates. Recently we sold our 300 acre farm and moved into a town. I do miss the beautiful vista we had from the house on our farm. Still we get older and life goes on. Best wishes to you both.

I just found your site and am so glad I did. The location of your place is just stunning, and I am glad you take the time to get out and enjoy it. Thanks for sharing the peace with us.

Set up a room for a large pantry with good sturdy shelving. And start collecting canning jars. Canning will save you a lot of money and trips to town.

It's so lovely to be able to accompany you as you gradually change the house you bought into your new home. As a horsey person I can't wait to see what's in store for the horse. I hope he is eventually going to move in as well. And congratulations to over 10.000 subscribers!

I can see that i have another channel to watch for many, many years to come.... Peaceful...

Welcome back Piemonte friends,you do have a lot to do.But I'm sure that gardening is good for your health,so eat as much spinch as you can.I would start with a vegitable plot,some hens etc

Hi both, glad you’ve moved in .Just a suggestion but before you begin painting I’d buy a cutting in brush. This makes painting the edges so much easier. Good luck with everything

Hello! Glad to see you again, although I went looking for you tonight only to discover a new vid was released 3 days ago. I guess You Tube finds your content unsuitable for sexagenarians! LOL. Well, it's nice to see all the small improvements, I so wish I'd be on your shoes right now. And thank you for showing a bit more of the property; the Sunday Walk and the small surprise brought a twinkle to my eyes as caring for an olive grove is one of my dreams. Oh, the sight at 14:40 is truly deserving of an oil canvas. Ciao belli!

Hi guys, happy to see you are enjoying your first days at the cascina! So nice hearing Isis speaking in Italian 🙂 All the best, Giulia 💚

First night in the house must have felt like a big milestone! The market looks like great potential for nice vintage decorations and such. The bathroom presure problem sound like a rusted/clogged up pipe.

Baby steps and a lot of work, but so rewarding and satisfying.

Bravissimi! Spero che l'Italia vi stia accogliendo benissimo e che la amiate come tanti la amano. Bedankt voor je liefde voor Italië!

Ребята, да там такое умиротворение 24/7/365, как там трудится то можно?😉💯 Там на улице хочется находится, не в доме! Но надо распорядок дня себе регулировать- сколько часов трудиться, а сколько отдыхать!

I really really like your videos, great style and voice-over.

Love your videos

I wanted to share with you all the way around the world in a beautiful rural area in the center of USA I also love to pick up kindling sticks

The bird song...ahhhhhh

Please show more of the second hand market!

Welcome home, your place already smells like home 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. ❤

yay! another video :)

The tip of the faucet will unscrew so you can clean the mesh filter inside.

Very best wishes in your new home.❤❤

Hi from Georgia, USA! So exciting to be living in your home now…the adventure begins!

You speak Italian pretty well ! Nice video.

picturesque

Beutiful!

Ciao Italia!

Good for you both, looks like you are enjoying this. I'm more familiar with wooden houses but have some experience with masonry houses as well, you're doing great. Yes, the plumber (expert) is actually a good idea. Make some friends with tradesmen they can be your best allies. Just know who and the type of person your interacting with. Remember to breathe, it's a journey not a destination, you're doing this right.😊

Can’t wait to follow all from the beginning! The views are amazing. I am in Music City USA. The birds are so wonderful! Love the first color of paint. Love the woodwork! Buy a Eco_ flow that what the Château use and it’s solar! It is amazing for electric in places don’t have electricity!! They sponsor them and get a discount but almost every show I watch has them. I’m now looking into buying one myself because they’re so easy to set up. I’ve chatted a long time. Can’t wait for your next video. Have a good week!

I love the reddish color with the blue tiles.

Looks great

Love your vlogs, they are so relaxing and interesting! Thanks for sharing those lovely peaceful moments with so much bird song and wonderful views. Looking forward to seeing all your progress :)

Ярмарка - это вообще песня! Столько старых вещей на таких базах и можно найти там нужные детали. Ура! И вы лишние вещи из дома можете отвезти продать.

Wow it must be paradise with the beautiful sunsets and the birds etc and then having the markets. Are they locall grown produce?

The line on the walls shows there must have been decorative tiles there or a wall border there.

Beautiful video. Really love the vibe. Wishing you both the best.

Very nice chainsaw and accessories ;) Good job

Ma che bel canale che ho trovato, siete due persone meravigliose vi auguro tutto il bene possibile, un forte abbraccio e in bocca al lupo per il futuro del vostro progetto. Io intanto mi sono iscritto e ho attivato la campanella. Ciao belli

Just the view itself is worth every penny you may have paid for the property!!

Hello from Tennessee! I feel that i am going to enjoy watching your journey. Good luck and best wishes toward obtaining a grand number of viewers so we can watch you progress further!!!

Wow! What a stunning area you have found! The sunrises and sunsets are just beautiful. Many congratulations on your first night staying in the cascina. It will be wonderful to see which projects you work on first - you have an awful lot to choose from! Is this you now permanently moved in? Or, still having to travel back and forth for a while?

Thanks for sharing this video! I always enjoy everything. You are getting a lot done and I know that is very satisfying. So happy for you! Janice from Arkansas USA

Через полгода-год мы вас не узнаем! Стройные, загорелые, много двигаетесь и тело укрепляете и дух!

It's so nice to go on this journey with you. I admire your courage. The view's not bad, either. Looking forward to your progress. I think a light green in the bathroom would be pretty with the tile. It will be nice to see your color choices throughout the cascina. Love from Oregon, USA.

My in-laws also have an old stone house with a similar pressure issue. They eventually gave up trying to find the root of the problem and installed a large water tank with an electric pump. I hope you have better luck, but it's worth considering this option, especially given the increasing water supply issues in Italy. Nonetheless, I love your project and am excited to see what you'll do next. Complimenti per aver iniziato a studiare l'Italiano, è uno sforzo che vi aiuterà molto perché nella pubblica amministrazione pochissimi parlano un inglese corretto 😅

Lots of challenges indeed. We are working on our little homestead and more times than not, I want to be outside working in the yard versus the house - trying to find a balance where you're in & you're out. How's it working for you guys in these areas? Our shower has this annoying, almost screeching sound when you get in...not relaxing at all! Congrats on the wonderful find with the trees...this is our first spring in SW Michigan on our little farm and seeing all kinds of new plants. Thanks for sharing...love the way you film and capture your side of the world.

Hi, Bertus & Isis I make a comment later, I have to work further on my VW T3 restoration. see you a little later. Greetings Hubertus.

are there more items beside the bathroom mirror that you acquired at the flea market? nice to see you made yourself comfortable, hope you can resolve the water issue ❤

Olive trees need a lot of water, carefully remove any weed around in a wide circle. Inform yourselves thoroughly for best growth and result. Good luck

Wonderful videos ..: views are beautiful! Wondering if there is a leak somewhere comprising the water pressure! That can be ck with a test pump air in the pipes and see what facet releases the best air pressure…. A low pressure and then a possible leak in that line! Saw an owner do this in a house he bought … pipes were leaking everywhere..: but he fixed them all! Good luck 💕 😊❤

🙏🍁🍁🍁🌺🌺🌺❤❤❤

Beautiful views. Do you live near Martijn Doolard?

hoi, leuke serie, ik ga even bingen. Ik heb wel vraag. wat is de bedoeling van die zogenaamde oude beelden met een soort vierkantje er links naast. was probeer je daar mee te zeggen?

I was surprised that you had olives, even if small ones. I think that you are at the limits of plant hardiness for olives, zone 9. You are probably correct about the microclimate of the site helping them to survive. I have a garden in Zone 8 on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state but some winters we can get hit by very cold air coming down the Fraser River of British Columbia which wipes out some of the plants that I try from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America. Life is a risk but worthwhile trying. I have been successful with the hardiest eucalyptus from Tasmania. I love the eucalyptus oil scent mixing with the ocean air from Discovery Bay. My suggestion if you plan on creating an ornamental garden think about scents and prefumes from herbs and other plants, like lilacs. You can create a paradical ambrosia of scents that can enhance your life experience to a new level. Glad that you are setting in. It is a beautiful place there with some grand vistas.

The sound needs adjusted.good luck.

Sthill has a small hand held chainsaw ideal for chopping all those smaller branches,get yourself a tester for the power cords ,we don’t want anyone electrocuted .Keep your ash from the stove and use it where you are going to have your vegetable garden.please don’t pick spinning wheels up by the wheel use the bed or put your arm through the wheel not by the rim over time this breaks the joints in the wheel and helps buckle them.finally beautiful video nd good find on flowers and trees.

You have a enormous work to do, I think you need help!

Fusilli not fussili :-) it means small spindles.

Actually it seems that in Piemonte there are about 300000 olive trees… Nothing comparable to others italian Regions but not irrelevant as we can imagine

Ik weet niet of jullie alles echt weg gooien maar soms is het handig om dingen bij de hand te houden. Ik zag dat er takken gezaagd werden maar die zijn juist erg bruikbaar,als bonestaak of als basis voor een vlechtwerk hek.Konden jullie lopende naar de markt of is dat net te ver weg van jullie huis? Ik weet niet veel van water af maar ik heb wel eens gehoord dat er een drukvat geplaatst moet worden , misschien een handigheidje om te weten.

Enjoying the pace and the style, refreshing. Do you need such a high advert content as I found that distracting and tedious. Thanks

ciao, ma i vostri cappelli sono un segno distintivo religioso?

Руки чешутся всё в доме отмыть, освежить и покрасить! Комнату за комнатой!!! Коридор за коридором!!! Лестницу и балкон!!!

are you gong to get a dog?

Oh dear guys.... don't put dark colors in the bathroom with those pale blue tiles, I'm sure you will probably end up gutting and changing it anyway... so just paint it white for the time being. 🙏

Wonderful videos. You guys are handy! Keep up the good work. - The Villa Giara Team @villagiara

Why don’t you hang the bathroom mirror horizontally rather than vertically? As long as you can see your faces in it I think it might look better. Your home, your choice of course. 😉
