  • This past year we've poured our blood, sweat and tears into the renovation to turn our dreams into reality with this crazy DIY project. This timelapse video is a great showcase of much of the progress we've made in year 2. There's still a long way to go, but we continue to bring this house back to it's former glory.
    Renovating an abandoned farmhouse in Italy doesn't come without it's difficulties, and having this video as a reminder of how far we've come in year-two is truly fantastic.

    Our Story:
    We sold our apartment in Stockholm, packed up the car and headed for Piemonte. After a couple of months searching for the right house we came across Our Italian Dream House and immediately made an offer. Four weeks later (just three days before Christmas 2021) we signed the contract and had the keys.
    It's now early 2024 and we have been renovating this epic house for two years now. We are mortgage free and have a very limited budget so we take on as much of the renovation ourselves as possible - follow us on our journey as we turn an abandoned Italian farmhouse into our dream home.

    Fantastic video; congratulations!! Would you guys do a video of costs? From how much you bought property to materials and some labor since you guys did probably 80% of the labor! I think a video of costs would help alot of us who may have bought or planning to buy property in Italy! 👏🏼😽🤗

    • @OurItalianDreamHouse
      @OurItalianDreamHouse  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks so much! Definitely considering a cost break down video - this will likely come closer to the end of the renovation when all the costs have been tallied up 😁😅

    when i watch renovation videos and find 🧰 Makita tools, i want to get DIY tools made in japan or Germany.
    ( my DIY not yet started, even not yet a beginner in DIY )
    just found the Makita office very close to the JR station ( near ) my apartment 🗼tokyo.

    You said to relax and enjoy… I really don’t enjoy these fast videos I find them very stressful and not enjoyable at all..but it is just me, I guess. I would prefer a selection of importants moments with a few comments.. it give me the time to admire and appreciate. Like I sais, it is probably just me. I follow a lot of renovations on CZcams but I avoid these fast video. Some people do a wonderful job making an enjoyable movie to watch.
    That being said, your work is remarkable and your talent in remodeling is great

      Im sorry you feel that way Marie. A timelapse video is always in this fast, sped up format. Im sure you will enjoy our normal videos then, we have over 30 of them, which you can find on our channel 😊

    Hey Guys! New subscriber who has also been hunting for a farmhouse in Piedmont the last year or so. I have one HUGE question that im really hoping you can answer: whats the permitting process been like? Obviously every commune is slightly different but to what extent do they make you get permits for doing work/your own work? Also, are you looking for volunteers? I would love to learn under you guys before embarking on my own project!

    • @OurItalianDreamHouse
      @OurItalianDreamHouse  Před 20 dny

      Hi Sam! Welcome, and thanks for following 😊🙌 we’ve actually written an ebook (available on our Patreon page) about our entire purchase journey here in Italy. We also offer video calls to answer any questions regarding our purchase and renovation 😊 regarding the permits you need different kind of permits for differents changes/updates and it also depends on where the house is (if UNESCO have a say in it or not, haha).

    I'm a little worried that the brick walls aren't tied down to the existing walls. I hope you don't have any earthquakes. Great job.
