#58 HOW MUCH DID WE PAY?? | Italian Stone House Renovation Project 

At least the Italian government try and make it possible to help people starting off in the housing market. They'll see ruins transformed into liveable houses once again and this in turn will help the local economies by introducing families back into their community.

I really appreciate that you used eco-compatible components, and made that process viewable by those of interested yet uninformed about such things

Dieses Grundstück mit der Aussicht gehört mit zu den schönsten Grundstücken, die ich hier auf RU-vid bisher gesehen, kann man nur sagen, herzlichen Glückwunsch,

€18,000 for custom windows and doors is a very good price. I work in construction and you wouldn't get anything that nice for under $20k USD. My hope is that you start getting some big sponsors to help with the current build or even future builds very soon. As always, keep up the excellent work and I can't wait for the next video!

It is looking beautiful, so impressive. Still think Vince is the hardest working man on the planet. The work you both have done is really good. You not only work first from a budget you also build within your means. There is so much more to this house than in the beginning. The windows made it not only air tight but beautiful. I love it.

You’ve done an amazing job and the bank credit was a Godsend! Every country should do that to help renovate all the ruins in an area, and to find affordable housing for people who can’t pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a normal house.❤️🤗🐝

Considering the amount of work done (and still to come), 90k is a good price. The government credit scheme sounds like a great idea. The windows make a huge difference to the interior aesthetics! I look forward to seeing whatever comes next!

You have both done an amazing job so far, since covid everything has doubled in price globally, our kitchen alone which prior to covid would have cost about $19000 cost us $28000 (appliances included) we did all the plaster and structure work ourselves prior to having the designers come in and measure up for the cabinets which saved us thousands. Thanks for sharing the journey. 💖 Michelle 🇦🇺

I just came across your channel. Amazing project. I am doing a similar project in Tuscany. I bought an old stone house about 4 years ago and spent 75K for the building. The structural work was done by builders. For the roof, chains antisismiche, doors, reinforcing the floor, windows, plastering, water, electrics, gas I paid around 125K leaving me somewhat broke. So am doing the rest of the work myself. The house has 2 floors. The living area on the first floor and the ground floor divided into 2 cantine. I have just finished pointing the stonework on the internal walls on the ground floor. It took bloody ages, using a saccapoche, and countless sacks of murostuk. I am now almost ready to lay the floor in the cantine. Then will build a kitchen and the house will be almost ready!!

So pleased you decided to use the wooden windows, it would have been a abomination to have used uPVC in such a beautiful stone building. Excellent work all round. Very well done. Regards Jim UK.

И двамата сте истински майстори. Съпругата ми и аз очакваме с нетърпение всяко ваше видео. Картината, на която двамата релаксирате, е повече от вдъхновяваща.

This is amazing transformation of the abandoned house. Super view of the valley and nature around. Cool! Love to watch your videos.

Such an clever way to fund your restoration - you now have the basis of a family home for years to come. Congratulations on all your work and thanks for sharing it with us all.

You both have such calm natures which would be necessary to complete such a daunting task. Your efforts, I’m sure, will be greatly rewarded. I’m anxious to see more as you take this project to completion. Good job!

Congratulations! I think your heart won over your head, when you bought this house! Wonderful work!

It’s very satisfying to see that you two were able to benefit from the credits. The amount of quality work you’ve done is super incredible. A heartfelt congratulations to you both.

The sweet black dog needs a comfortable bed to rest especially since shepherds are known to get callus on the elbows and legs from hard ground. It would be nice to set up a covered awning outside with bed and water so dog will be away from dusty construction and feel safe and reassured as he patiently waits for house to be completed. Thanks for sharing your journey and hopefully soon we will see the finished project. One thing I noticed is the realtor commission was very high and could have been negotiated lower since I know people who have spent much more on a house and only gave fee of 2-3k, not 4k.

The most brilliant house. You have both worked so hard. Your education has served you well. Worth ever penny spent.

Thank you for being so transparent on the costs of the purchase of your house, as well as the building/construction works and materials. Keep up the great work! Loving your videos.

Wonderful explanation! Thank you for the translation! Your story is important to those of us who are unilingual as well. Great job!🇨🇦

A beautiful and sensitive restoration - you are incredibly fortunate to have the credit system for renovations like this…! Well done and good luck. Watching from South Africa.

I have enjoyed waking up every Sunday and watching you this year! All your hard work is paying off! Congrats to both of you for investing in yourself! Beautiful work and home! Cheers!

Wonderful explanation to include how you met and what and where you sacrificed yourselves in hard work to make this dream real. You two are very inspiring!

You are both amazing and I am sure all those watching agree. I wish all could see your adventure as the the way to make a better world. You are a blessing for all who feel the world is trying to end our world. God bless and thank you for your wonderful example.

Votre histoire est belle !!!!!! Belle façon de penser aussi, très content de vous avoir découvert et de pouvoir vous suivre.

Ur home is beautiful, something to be proud of. And u did it yourself. U have made a lot of great memories to look back on.

At the beginning of construction/renovation I was thoroughly impressed with the roof. I was drawn in and hooked by this, and therefore have continued to enjoy your project. Although I did at first think that the cost was more than I expected, it really isn't because of the Covid time frame during building, and also this home will exist for what I believe will be far longer than the typical type of homes that are being built now. Bravo to you both for this, I applaud you!

I’m so happy to see this sympathetic renovation, allowing the character of the house to represent its history and its environment. The house is becoming a beautiful home for a wonderful couple. Three years of hard work and dedication is admirable. Well Done you will have a wonderful life there.

Considering the state of the house I think 44k was a realistic purchase price but I did expect the reconstruction costs to be much greater. It was encouraging to revisit the works carried out in the last 3 years, and I look forward to seeing more of the progress. Thank you for all the info and I’m pleased, as are you both, to see the number of subscribers increasing. 😊

I cannot express in words how much I admire the two of you!!!! Great job! ❤

Your building a grand home for very little costs but your time and labor are worth more than the $$$$. Love what you are doing and showing others what is possible. I wish you both success, happiness and a lifetime of joy.

Very concise and interesting recap of the project including financials. Now, the plan for the front porch… pergola, covered patio… looking forward to having a cup of tea and enjoying the view from that spot…

I kam ndjek me kenaqesi dhe kam qene kurjoze per videot qe do te vijne ne te ardhmen. Nje enderr e kthyer ne realitet. Cdo detaje i persosur, qe nga marja e vendimit per ta blere kete shtepi, me marjen e kredise, me projektin, me materialet me punen tuaj dhe me ne fund me kreativitetin tuaj. Suksese dhe urimet e mia nga zemra per te ardhmen!

Both of you are a real inspiration, well done xx

Really great work navigating not only the purchase, but the impacts of Covid, supply issues, and price hikes. On the other hand, the bank credits program was a very fortunate windfall! Keep going, and I looking forward to your next steps! 🙏💃🏻🥰

Love your story of how you met and how you are building your house. Great job! Love your videos!!! 😀🥰

Bel lavoro I love that you used the natural materials to help the building breath. Cheers, Natalie

I respect your dedication & love your passion.

Thank you for your inspiring work and enthusiasm. Your work fixed my plan to renovate all my wooden windows on my own next year. I’ve done this before but I thought about giving this project to a craftsman. Now I’ll take it in my own hands and I’ll appreciate the time of preparing and the final result. Thank you and keep up going. What a beautiful home.

You're doing a great job. Love listening to you both even though I don't understand the language. Thanks for the subtitles.

While I love all of your videos and am impressed by the hard work you have done in each of them, this is probably the most valuable and my favorite video as it gives so much transparency. Grazie! Merci!

I watched your videos and I must say, you guys did an amazing job. well done for sticking to the task and reaching completion.

Eu acho que vocês foram muito corajosos, e com certeza as realizações foram grandiosas. Parabéns.

Very impressive, both budgetary and technically. A wonderful home.

Beautiful work! All the best to You 💗

I love the work you guys put in on the house. Love the windows and doors.

Beautiful what you have done. Thank you for sharing the process.

You certainly spent all your money in the right places... roof, insulation, windows/doors. Money well spent. You two are a great follow. Thank you!

Parabéns,a casa está ficando linda!!

Oh wow, that really is not a big budget 😮 But this italian refund program is absolutely awesome! It really does enable young people to rescue houses like this! ❤ Nevertheless, there is IMMENSE work put in by you both to make this happen. 🎉

What a good habitat program Italy has and what an amazing job you both have done still lots to go, congratulations! Subscribed

Your home is beautiful. The cost is actually amazing. Homes and renovations on this side of the pond are astronomical so bravo. A lovely home, land and reno for 180,000 E . You are doing an amazing job. I am looking forward to the completed project.

Great job both of you! Glad to hear you both worked for an NGO in Tanzania, neighboring country to my country of birth,Zambia.

You have both done such a wonderful job with this renovation. It’s such a pleasure to see this come together. Money well spent

Thank you. Your new windows are breautiful!

Very impressive and the information shared is extremely helpful. You all are amazing and looking forward to see the full transformation. Merci Grazie!

THEY PAID A LOT FOR THE HOUSE. IF WE COULD CALL IT HOME. SHE WAS DEPLORABLE, ALL FALLING DOWN. YOU STILL HAD TO MAKE THE FOUNDATION BELT TO HOLD THE WALLS AND ROOFS. CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL WORK THAT I AM FOLLOWING FROM THE SOUTH OF BRAZIL. YOU WERE COURAGEOUS AND HEROES IN PURCHASING IT. SORRY FOR GOOGLE TRANSLATOR ERRORS

Hallo ihr zwei Lieben, auf eure geleistete Arbeit könnt ihr Stolz sein 👍🏆. Liebe Grüße aus dem Harz 🙋‍♂️

Incredible house in a beautiful location for a very good price. Your hard work has paid off. Enjoy.👏👏👏

ouf..... vous êtes vraiment très très courageux ! Bravo pour votre motivation qui fait plaisir à voir 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Der kleine Ausflug in eure gemeinsame Historie war sehr interessant und gehört schlussendlich zur Entstehung und Durchführung dieses Projektes dazu und erklärt, wie ich finde, sovieles wie z.B den hohen Anteil an Eigeninitiative und körperlichem Einsatz, der Verwendung von ökolischen Baustoffen, Erhalt der ursprünglichen Bausubstanz und so Vieles mehr. Eine tolle und nachvollziehbare Idee des italienischen Staates, solche Projekte so stark zu fördern. Ihr sympathischen Menschen habt vieles richtig gemacht!!❤

Bravo! Beautiful work by all considerations. ❤ it!

Parabéns por essa história de luta garra e determinação de poderem realizar seus sonhos adorei essa história tenho certeza que vcs ainda vão longe a casa está excelente vcs acreditaram no seus sonhos e correram atrás sem medo de encarar os problema a cada episódio que assisto de vcs mais me admiro vcs merecem muito mais se Deus quiser vc vão chagar longe parabéns para o casal de guerreiros 👍🇧🇷

Greetings from Perth, Western Australia, you‘ve done an incredible job and almost unbelievable, good luck with the rest of the renovations

So pround of you guys! Love your house and your story!!! Blessings!!!♥️👏🙏🏡

Thanks for making this video report. Very informative!

First time watch, thanks for the subtitles.

Very interesting to see your costings. Love the fact that you receive more from the government than you spent!! Well Done!

You are amazing and your project is outstanding. I'm almost finishing building my house, partly doing it myself, so I feel and understand your adventure a bit. I love looking at you. Good luck and huge greetings from Poland!

Amazing presentation, insight. Understand so much more now. Good luck as you move forward.

Money well spent ! The result so far is amazing . Great job guys .

Замечательный дом! Волшебство, это прекрасно. Но волшебство, сделанное руками, прекрасно вдвойне!

Budget semble raisonnable eu égard au magnifique résultat actuel!! Continuez comme ça !! Courage à vous !!

Very informative. Worth every bit…..so gorgeous!

My wife and I live in a California town that was settled by Italians in the early 1900’s. In 1977 we bought an old Italian home built in 1921 by an Italian stone mason. House was built with hollow tile with stucco on outside and plaster inside. My father and I completely remodeled everything . The house was abandoned and in bad shape. We did the same work that you did !! You folks did s wonderful job !! You have A beautiful home with a beautiful view !! Congratulations. !!! Enjoy your home !!! Dave from California.

Very interesting project - I also love the 3 languages of him, her, and the subtitles

Very nice clip and very informative. Molto grazie, merci beaucoup for puting together and presenting all this information. Good job!

Hallo harde werkers, Het is heel leuk om jullie te volgen en te zien hoe de transformatie vordert. Ook Leuk om te zien wat alles kost, 30 jaar geleden heb ik ook op het punt getsaan een boerderij in Frankrijk te kopen, maar daar toch van afgezien omdat het vanuit Nederland 8 uur rijden was en je dan alleen in de vakantie aan het werk kon ,niet handig dus, Veel succes nog .vrienjelijke groet klaas

Bravissimi! Complimenti!!

Congratulazioni per quanto fatto fino ad ora, tantissimi auguri a voi ragazzi per il vostro futuro, Bella casa, bel luogo, belle scelte.

Hallo ihr zwei Baumeister. Das was ihr geleistet habt finde ich klasse. Sehr wertig, sehr schön, belissima. Es mag sein, dass ihr für das alte Haus etwas zuviel bezahlt habt. Dafür habt ihr einen einmaligen Platz. 180000 Euro ist viel Geld aber in diesem Fall richtig investiert. Noch viel Spaß bei den Restarbeiten. 👋😃👍

Thanks that is the best video about renovation in Europe I have seen. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion.

What a magnificent job you have done there... I'm waiting to see the future works and the eventual finished product. I had no idea of the cost of these natural construction products and thus could not get to an estimate. Well done with those bank credits!!!

I found your wonderful build in the early hours of this morning. Well done guys - great job - I applaud you!

Thank you for sharing this very Informative costing video. An expense that often is not budgeted for is the cost of registering the property into the new owners name. Your decision to spend money on those professional skills is also very wise…. Potential renovators need to understand the limits of their abilities. The government must be commended on this plan of “crediting” … excellent strategy in the revitalization of the countryside. Well done on bringing the project this far 👏👏👏👏 Durban SA 🇿🇦

E com muita coragem que vocês estão vencendo 👍👍👍👏👏😃😃

J'adore ce que vous faites, un grand bravo pour votre persévérance et votre volonté de partager votre expérience. Merci.

it's so beautiful, lovely to see !

Grazie per questo video. Avete fatto quello che avrei voluto fare io, esattamente. Vi auguro una bella vita, piena di amore in questa casa.

You are such a beautiful couple and have done a wonderful job l wish you all the luck and happiness in the future and may you stay blessed and happy good health xx.

God bless you for loving my country so much

Восхитительная работа. Вдохновляющая работоспособность! Успеха !

Bravi. Amo e apprezzo i giovani come voi

Beau travail, bravo et vous avez choisi un bel endroit pour vous installer

Gut geplant und mit Liebe und Sachverstand ausgeführt

You’re being very sensible and measured with it - and it’s looking so lovely! For comparison the median house price in Brisbane Australia is €455,000, however in Sydney it’s €785,000. So you have done very well so far in your plans 👍

Vraiment très intéressant. Bravo et merci pour cet échange

Bellissima casa + il posto con la natura. Splendida!

Desde España: magnífica obra y magnífico manejo de presupuesto. Así sí se puede!! Queremos ver más!!Saludos!!👋👋👋

Gracias! No tenía esa curiosidad pero agradezco que lo hayan hecho, porque hay personas que tienen ese proyecto para su vida y es bueno que tengan una idea de lo que pueden llegar a necesitar de presupuesto. Adoro su casa de piedra, y sé que será un hogar de ensueño...las ventanas??? Mis favoritas!! Valen su precio. Un calido abrazo de una Colombiana en Canada. Bravooo estoy muy orgullosa de ustedes chicos,felicidades!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰❤️
