My name is Sam and together with my girlfriend Lyanne, I am on a quest to restore the beauty of this old Italian villa from 1895. Join us as we have to let go of our Dutch habits to fit in in our Italian surroundings, were the word 'plan' gets redefined and our tastebuds are awakened.
The goal of this project is to show that with limited financial means and a lot of optimism we can resurrect the beauty of this abandoned villa in a green and sustainable way. But most of all learn from everything that we encounter and enjoy it whilst we're at it.

    I'd suggest you start collecting zucchini recipes, because you are going to have a lot of them. Let a few of them get really big and stuff them with minced beef, cheese, mushrooms and diced onion. Yummy! The Amsterdam way starts with one of those lovely pulleys attached to the top of the house! Lol! You're a brave man and a strong one! Hooray! You did it! Good luck!

    It is never a good idea to use impregnated wood indoor, as it keep releases poisonous fumes. Instead, use untreated wood and paint it, so it can be used in a damp room. Just an advise from a painter, as you obviously care about health. 😊

    Hello, thank you for consistently posting videos of your hard work. Sadly you don’t seem to have achieved an enormous amount, though ai do understand the electrics and plumbing has been huge. You seem to want to vary the content and the end result is you start something but don’t complete. The garden is an example imo it’s a disaster and in today’s video you had to clear the drive way again to get the timber upto the house. You’ve left plastic bags with ginger just discarded it’s a fluke that it’s grown meantime the plastic is deteriorating and will cause yet another problem. Your reluctance to restore/improve the driveway is at best foolish and stubborn but really just plane nuts. You are clearly not afraid of hard physical work just focus on finishing something. The rooftop terrace could be a good start and a proper clearance of the garden. Sorry that I’ve been so negative as I really would like you to achieve a beautiful home.

    Hi Sam Where are you going to send your black and grey waters from the new bathroom. Are you installing a septic system ? I don’t recall seeing any waste water pipework going in, just a ‘temporary’ clean water discharge into the stream. Cheers Ray (UK)

  • @scottyandhutch
    @scottyandhutch Před 14 hodinami

    With such thick walls wouldn't it be more secure to set your wooden beam into the walls rather than rely on brackets screwed to the wall? Especially considering the weight of the boiler on the structure.

From the plans it looks like you made the opening to the shower smaller and angled wider where the shower head will be at the other end. This will then angle the tub with a better veiw of the window. Nice adjustment. Now, what about that sun screen?😢❤❤❤

    The path on the way up needs a touch with the mower.........wish I could think of a way to make it easier for you to get heavy things up that hill. Hurts to watch you struggle. A pulley system? Dan uses one to get heavy stuff like steel beams and joists to the top of his chateau why couldn't you do the same thing horizontally?🤔Looks like you could use a pulley in lots of ways. Move it around a bit and voila! l It lifts beams up to that bathroom window! And that pesky scaffolding could be pulled up to the bathroom window with the pulley instead of struggling up the stairs with it.
