So very good to see you again!.... Good to also see your approach to restoring the original "as designed by the architect" facade decoration/paint scheme....I for one believe that you guys shall persevere in your quest to get the windows finished and justice served, as you have deep patience, and good Karma on your side🙏💪.....left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot!!....buono fortuno!!🙏

Thank you! Yeah you are right, just very frustrating!

@AnnikenKivlok1233 3 месяца назад

So nice to get an update! But the story about the windows is devastating. To restore an old villa like that must be a pation project and I really hope you manage to keep the spirit up, AND that you get your money back!

@gloriasmestad3803 3 месяца назад

I’ve been thinking about you two, glad to see this! The window saga continues. Here’s hoping this resolves satisfactorily. Question-as it sounds like your window guy orders and purchases from the actual window company, and then does the installation, if it gets right down to it, could you order from the window company at the builder’s rate and do the installation with your father? I know it’s a big job but maybe that could be a backup plan. Wishing you all sorts of luck with this situation and your project, bringing this property back to its elegant original state!

@VillaAroldi 3 месяца назад

Let us hope that your window guy is a conscientious craftsman who is just a poor money manager and can get his finances in order!

Working with builders can be harrowing.There are those that are mostly honest but generally incompetent who don’t come for days because they juggle jobs ,then there are those who misjudge their time or the money needed for everything.Then of course there are those that are straight out dishonest and cut corners ,substitute materials,or just never intended to do the work in the first place .Our poor (excellent) builder was hospitalized after a suicide attempt. Not something we felt in any way upset about except for his situation of course.Months later,that good man refunded our money❤.Any way ,those folk we see taking on forbidding restorations such as yours and saving history in doing so ,I feel particularly sorry for .Best of luck for a fair resolution of some sort.

Surely your lawyer will have informed you of the distinct possibility the window supplier will go bankrupt in the very near future, Prior to that he will go into Insolvency. The fact the judge has set a default period until end of May while the company has spent your money on paying taxes and is unable to order the windows strikes me as odd. I would seek advice asap. It may be wise to quickly seize assets before other creditors do.

Hej då Henrik! Having dealt with construction in Greece and Portugal, I´m...not optimistic, to be honest. The man has dug himself into a hole and I can´t see a judge´s decision making it any different. Even if the outcome is that he has to pay you back, he can drag it out for years. It´s devastating, but rather than waste time lamenting, I would advise you to be realistic and make a plan B. Find the additional money somewhere and reorder with iron-clad insurance and refund guarantee. Abuse RU-vid for all its worth, get it to pay off! Do whatever it takes! Or you may be stuck in years of litigation and no windows.

Yes you might be right but they have changed the system here in Italy fairly recently and issues like this should be resolved within 1 year now so we still hope that it should be ok. In the meantime we cant order any new windows as he still has the chance of actually delivering them to us.

Personally, after having lived in Italy for eight years, I would never buy a property there. The bureaucracy is horrible, slow and very difficult to navigate, unless you have a good (and expensive) lawyer. It's not Sweden...

Yes you are right, it's very much a troublesome bureaucracy here but then again the country itself makes up for it, such beauty, food and overall very nice people!

You could be right, we have not been lucky with our windows that's for sure.

I don't know how bad businesses stay in business. Hopefully you'll get a refund. 😊

With all of your setbacks in the past I just have to laugh. You have no luck my friend and cannot catch a break. How's your father? At least the government got their tax dollars....right?

@VillaAroldi 3 месяца назад

Haha exactly! My father is doing great, hopefully he is back down here soon. Time will tell!
