TO CLEAN THE FLOOR WITHOUT TOO MUCH ENERGY use a concrete polisher, or a large sander to sand the entire floor. The stone tiles will 'come back to life' and shine with their original colour and all the glue will be gone. Then re-grout the floor and seal the entire floor with a sealant which will make it look like new. Good luck and I love your videos. Thank you for sharing. PAUL IN SCOTLAND UK

@carolyneg3780 Год назад

agree! I had to do something very similar with a wall and ended up using a sanding machine and it did get all the glue off. I bought it at a hardware store for only $150 - totally worth it and saved a huge amount of time after trying for many many hours hand doing it with a scraper 😅

@timothyearp631 Год назад

I agree it may be time to switch to abrasives, even a small handheld sander that can get into the corners would be a great test to see if it works.

@nandayoo Год назад

indeed once that stuff gets into to porous structure of these tiles the only thing you can do is to sand off the affected layer... gravity doesn't help you remove that stuff from essentially a spongy material - you can dilute the stuff with all sorts of abrasives, acids... but it wil still leave the stain & possibly by diluting the glue it will push it further into the structure... - sanding it off is the only way - work smarter not harder!

I came to the comments to say this! I'd just rent the machine for a coupla days, go to town, then grout and seal with a traditional polish. Done! :)

Consulting a flooring specialist is a good idea. You might be able to use a heavy buffing machine with a grinding pad and grit to “polish” the floor. This method was widely used in the US to remove wax buildup on commercial floors. Whatever the outcome, you will find a way to make it work.

@timwaddell6356 Год назад

Absolutely save that floor! Get a buffer or sander with light grit and that should remove the worst of the glue. Then use a tile wax or coat with a sealer with the level of sheen you want from matte to very shiny. It is an old floor, so it will never be perfect but after all, it is a 1,000 year old house with character! I still can’t get over how good this house is for 1 euro! Most of them are complete ruins with no views and end up costing way more than comparable values of the community. You really lucked out! Thanks for sharing!

Hi guys, throughout the video my wife kept on saying I should tell you to RENT a buffer/sanding machine. We went through the same thing many years ago and were able to restore several floors to almost brand new condition. Persevere!!! ALSO my wife wants to tell you to place the bathroom sink in the corner (as you enter) and to shift the toilet sideways (with a small backing wall), which will create a bigger space. Forza!👊🏻

As an old house lover I hope you will RESTORE this home rather than RENOVATE it! They do not build lovely homes like this any longer. I’m an American and we rip out beautiful old fixtures, built ins and tile only to replace it all with ugly laminate/plastic flooring, grey generic tile and gallons of white paint all from Home Depot big box store to emulate television “Flip Your House” shows from designers that care nothing for historical homes. Your home is so special I hope you honor her instead of gutting her. This takes many years and is a labor of love, just like a long relationship with your partner.

Good afternoon, this floor is called "hydraulic tile" it is very porous, what is dissolved on one side is introduced into the other, the best way is to let it dry very well, and with a 120 mm sanding machine and 80 mm sanding discs. Gratefully sand it, being careful not to go deep into the color layer, then vacuum it and wash it with water and a soap for terrazzo floors, last layer, give it water with floor wax, good job.

Great work guys. For the stone floor, I have being using a floor grinder, a machine that is normally being rented. These can use different type of grinding discs, for wood, concrete or stone. It can be tricky to use for a novice, in this case with a small room I would have a pro to do it. To improve the stones natural colour and durability after grinding and polishing a sealer/impregnator can to be applied. You can also use linseedoil or nautralwax to improve the stones looks and surface, check with your local stone & granite monger for these products. All the best.

Design idea for the kitchen: avoid the mistake made in our house, don't block the light, even make it a space for some plants (but not tall enough to block the light), short shelves under the window would be useful. Lots of counterspace, always useful. Also, the kitchen tiles look rough and not slippery when wet whereas the rest of the tiles in the livingroom and bedroom could be slippery when wet. With cooking and washing dishes, there is lots of opportunity for water, soapy water and maybe a bit of oil, to land on the floor and make it slippery so if the tiles are kept rough, that will prevent slipping. Coating them with something that will make the floor tiles as smooth as the wall tiles could lead to slip and fall, a rough surface is what I recommend. I must admit, that as a Canadian who doesn't have any European experience, it is hard for me to imagine what the house will look like when finished because it is so, so, so different from what I'm used to.

Italian government is not stupid. so instead of rebuilding and renovating it by itself, building infrastructure, creating jobs, schools and hospitals, it lets foreigners, mostly misled and non-informed enthusiast, to come and do the job instead of them, yet the requirements are dragonian, like you can not remove the walls and build from scratch, or just buy a free land and build your onw, new, modern house for human beings. You have to renovate literally an ancient grave and live on it! and be happy (pretend you are happy)

Good to see you guys and your mama. Glad everyone is well. That's the most important thing. I would rent an industrial sander- levigatrice industriale-at this point. Or now, having a more level surface, maybe tile over it! If you sand it you will have to put on a new glaze because even with the acetone it is making it porous. Things like this really make me think of what to do. Good thing is that the rest of the house is looking great.

@traciannveno Год назад

I can’t wait to see what you do! Maybe if the color isnt saturated enough you can do some kind of stain with a seal and make it artistic in your style. I think you have options still xoxo Always love seeing you beautiful family.

Gosh, all of you are beautiful inside and out, but Luca looks especially handsome with his shorter hair and beard. I really enjoy your spirit in tackling the project and also the joy you seem to take in each other’s company. And the baby is so sweet! You’re doing great!

That floor was a tough job. Luce is trying to talk, and she's precious. Have a great week. 🙌 ❤

Sunday smiles with Luce and her parents. So cute. Regardless of that floor your home is beautiful!

Raggazzi don't worry about "great expectations", you've done so much with this house, 'l'amore vince sempre", at the end it's gonna be wonderful, even not perfect as you imagined! Perfect is overestimated, you 've done it and you are just great!!

@iamanovercomer3253 Год назад

I love houses built in 1800 to 1930 ( they are made with class ), BUT in reality, it is more cost-effective to get a newer house.

@ohdeerdesign1387 Год назад

It's so great that you are trying to keep the historical parts of the house! And then, I see Luce doing one of our Italian hand signs!!! I laughed so hard! Thank you for making me smile! Keep up the awesome work you are doing on this beautiful house! Overwhelm is normal! Also, thank you for showing the old town Italian street - just beautiful. Hugs to all of you -

@wordjam412 Год назад

Well done on all the floor work ~ wondering if a concrete floor polisher may have done the trick ?

@debbiesdeathpile Год назад

Can you use a floor buffing machine with a grit pad to sand/buff off the top layer? It just seems like there has to be an easier way to save that beautiful floor. You’re working sooo hard and I just want to see it pay off for you!

You a very lucky to have found that kitchen floor and the kitchen floor is very lucky that you found it! Many people would have torn the old tiles out and the house would have been poorer without them. You are the perfect custodians for such an historic property

@pearlhighstead8718 Год назад

A total difference. You are doing an amazing job. Luce is growing so big and a very happy young girl. Love your channel

@felicitaschofield252 Год назад

I’m sorry things didn’t work out with the floor. We had the same issue with a room of wallpaper when we first moved into our house. It was a nightmare😂. I can’t believe how big Luce is getting. She is so sweet. I think you have also officially acquired the “gattine” . 😊. Best wishes to you on next steps. The house is coming back to life!

@jameskinkead2456 7 месяцев назад

I understand your frustrations.....I've been renovating an old house and commercial building in the U.S. and a house in Malta.....I used to be good at this and work quickly but now I'm old and wish I 'd never started them.

@joanneerickson8000 Год назад

Luca looks very handsome with his haircut! And Luce is so adorable walking up the steps. Just a lovely family ❤

@AdrianHeptinstall Год назад

Steam will make the glue soft and stop it re-sticking, and also will not mark the tiles. A wallpaper type steamer may well make it much easier, hope that helps and thanks for the videos :)

@jamaistrue Год назад

I had a friend who bought an old house with terrible wood floors and they had a company come in and pour a thick layer of something clear like epoxy or resin on it and it looked fantastic! I saw it again several years later and it still looked great. Maybe that's an idea for your kitchen floors??

@PatriciaFidone Год назад

I saw what you are talking about in a business location in Los Gatos Calif. it worked out well=at that time anyway.

@ltcajh 4 месяца назад

Me, I do a complete tear-down and do it right (that's if you have the money to do that). I imagine it's a lot harder to get to a store to get what you need. Not like you have Home Depot over there.

@joannemohr5066 Год назад

Hi, have been following your channel for a long time now. Don’t give up on the kitchen floor. Luce is such a sweet child. Good luck and greetings from the island of Gozo/ Malta!!

@lsabby Год назад

You guys are amazing! You both work so hard and even if things don’t work you are still positive. Love seeing your lovely Mom. Your new home is going to be beautiful. Really look forward to your videos and closing with Luca is always my favorite part. She is full of sunshine and I find myself smiling and full of joy. Your family is truly blessed.

@adriannavanderpoll4745 Год назад

If you remove the kitchen wall tiles, the floor would look wonderful. Although I usually love using different ages of interior together, these two clash too much. Just my (an artist and designer) opinion.

@annalisatolazzi4714 Год назад

The wall tiles do not make this ancient floor stand out, it’s a shame because after others treatments it will be really Nice with its vintage soul ❤

@aairsick Год назад

I disagree. I think the floor is much more historic to the building and would be a shame to tear it out. I think once you get the cabinets, chairs and table in as well as a rug -- this floor will melt your heart.

@adriannavanderpoll4745 Год назад

@@aairsick that's what we said, keep the floor tiles.

@sr9253 5 месяцев назад

@alettatheurer9390 Год назад

Please don´t sand the tiles, they are so beautiful, you will otherwise destroy them. It is a very tedious and hard work to get them back to life, but you are on the right way! They go very well with the tiles on the wall, it pays tribute to the people living in the house before. Go on you will be very happy once it is done. Thumbs up! I am an studied architect and learned carpenter from South Africa now living in Berlin! Second life - your motto is also mine being 60* Love you!

@rethacharette7830 Год назад

With all your hard work the floor looks so much better. Luca your haircut and beard trim looks so much better. It makes you look so much younger. So glad grandma could come and visit and help you out with your beautiful baby girl. She has such a beautiful smile. Have a wonderful week. God Bless.

Rent a power sander and hit it with moderate grit, then seal the tiles-try on sample first.

@MJF-81 Год назад

Not sure if this has already been suggested, but have you considered trying to lift one or two of the tiles and turning them over to see what condition they are like on the other side? They could be in their original condition and colour. Might be worth a try. Loving the channel and the videos, keep it up!! :)

@rosariovasta314 8 месяцев назад

This tiles are called cementine they have one side only.
