    Your garden is doing great! I'm an old woman, and here is my advice . Wear sunblock, a hat and a T-shirt. My father died from melanoma at age 36. Your villa is going to be so wonderful. ❤

    The design of all of the bathroom fixtures-sink, bathub, bidet & toilet- are gorgeous!U.S.-based interior designers would pay a small fortune to get their hands on those. I’d check with designers like ateliermavi to see if there’s a market for them in Italy. Seriously… don’t throw them away!!!

    If the bidet, sink, bath, etc are in good working order I wouldn’t get rid of them. Reuse them in a different spot if you have more than one bathroom. Fixtures are e pensive and you can always find a way to make them compliment a design. I still have the 1949 bathtub and sink in my house. It would cost over $2,000 to buy an equivalent tub to mine. But that tile has yo GO. If you can find a traditional Italian tile with that same blue predominate those fixtures would be outstanding. When I removed the old tile I used a brick chisel. I also put a board over the tub to protect it.

  • @user-jy4fq8lz7q
    @user-jy4fq8lz7q Před 12 dny

    You said the tiles had to go to allow room for window trim. Any chance you'd consider keeping the wall of tiles where the tub was? The potted plant on the tile above the tub area is super nice & in keeping with the size of the room & the height of the ceiling. And, I believe I saw in a previous video a white footed tub you & your father were bringing in. Woo-hoo... THAT would be go good looking. Smart & elegant! Eventually you could cover the window walls with paper, just paint or possible a mural. Fabulous art in a bathroom is also fabulous! I also ditto all the previous comments suggesting you keep the blue fixtures to use elsewhere. The combo of the blue fixtures & the tile together, I thought, was awful. With proper colors in another bathroom could be awesome!!!

    I thought it was another very interesting episode. I just don't understand the garden program.
    I see you digging and digging everywhere.
    If you blacken a piece of land (removing wild plants) then put a few chickens on that piece.
    The chickens clean up all the mess (weeds), they also fertilize your soil and you have eggs every day.

    OK dat geklooi met die hamer & beitel,... in een grote klus als deze heb je zeker een sds boorhamer nodig! Die tegels, klein metselwerk, voegen, grote gaten boren 22mm+, diepe/lange gatenboren in die 50cm muur, je kan niet meer zonder. Neem wel een goede, minimaal een blauwe Bosch (Groene loop warm en kop slipt dan, voor 1 klein klusje ok) is goed of een Makita, of de toppers als je geld genoeg hebt; De Walt, Hilti, Milwaulkee. Dit is geen advies het is het verschil tussen moeilijk en makkelijk doen! Bik ze!

    Gardening can be hard work for me, being older now. I do find using a wiper sniper to cut done over growth handy. Next time you go to the gardening store check it out. It will help. Also get some garden stakes as tomatoes will need to be tied and staked as they grow.

    The blue bathroom suite isn't bad, providing you new tile isn't a smokey grey/green! That and the red floor is a bit too colorful for a bathroom, in my opinion. Still, I know you'll make it beautiful.

      I agree, there was absolutely nothing wrong with those tiles or bathroom fixtures, I realize they we're from the 80's but all that room needed was a good sanding to the ceiling and a deep clean, I'm glad to see some renovation mind you as the gardening is becoming a bit too much, but who am I to say on that aspect of the channel, these youngsters have green thumbs.

    Mi chiedo perché tu abbia acquistato una villa che possiede già uno stile suo ben preciso, se poi la devi rovinare come stai facendo. La definirei un esempio unico e significativo dell’epoca in cui è stata costruita . Dispiace vedere distruggere prima la balaustra del grande terrazzo ed ora un bagno con accessori particolari e preziosi. Le cose fatte bene vanno conservate non peggiorate, specie con accessori moderni di seconda mano come hai detto di voler fare tu. Comunque ti auguro di trovare una soluzione efficace per attenuare il rumore di traffico proveniente da strada e autostrada e che sovrasta il canto degli uccellini del parco.
