Not Useless Yet
Италия
Добавлен 1 сен 2019
I just turned 40, and I still have some stuff to do... I just bought a house in Italy in need of complete restoration, I just became a father again, I want to learn Italian, I want to do my boat license and buy a boat. Follow me and see how well I do in all of these endeavors and decide for yourself, Useless or Not Useless Yet.

Sometimes a coffee goes a long way, especially here in Italy. Don't feel obliged in any way though, best of all would be to come to Tuscany and have one here with me!

Progress!! Love the communal lunch in the park! They’re so enjoyable to watch! People should gather just for the sake of gathering! Those were my best childhood memories! Was curious, do they have a church there?
Kitchen is coming along...you def figured out the plastering! I love the idea of a village lunch so much. A tiny hand crafted window will be perfect! The excessive heat is a concern everywhere.
🤗🤗🤗

👍👍👍✊✊✊💪💪💪
👏👏👏☀️☀️☀️
Great job.
I’m glad you got the stains in the plaster sorted.... it’s going to look extraordinary! ✨🌞✨
Hi there. I must have missed the vlog (though rarely do) showing the entrance to the kitchen. Is the patio the only entrance? You are quite the hardworking man and with all the different talents you have, seem to pull it all together
Every little bit helps and you had what looks like a great lunch with the locals. Wish I was there.
BEST WISHES TO YOU
Hi, from Arkansas, USA! While watching you working I was thinking back to how it all was when you first started. You have made tremendous improvements. You should feel proud. I am thrilled for you and your family. Always look forward to the next steps. Take care! Janice from Arkansas USA
Those lovely village lunches and gatherings are certainly what life’s about!
You should look into to adding a retarding agent to your plaster mix to extend its setting time. Also dampen the surface lights prior to application. Might help you while the hot weather is around. Good luck.
Hello! SO glad you got there on Thursday and didn't do anything but eat and drink until Sunday! You deserve to have some "spare time." And how nice your village gets together. Pretty good turnout for such a small village. Italians are such friendly people. GREAT JOB on the plastering! Speaking of HOT, we had a heat index of 39.44 here yesterday! Take care and thanks for your video!
Sir, the kitchen is certainly coming along pretty well. The cement plastering looks very good for the base. I would do the same above the beams all the way to the roof ceiling. Congratulations on your progress so far. I am sure that it will be great by the time you finish. Thanks for sharing your videos. Take care.😅🤣😂
Ralf when you said to me come over to Italy and get “ PLASTERED “ I was thinking cold 🥶 beers 🍺😂, all coming along slowly but surely and Ofc gotta keep boys & mom happy 👌🏻 and not sure about Black Hammerite on walls 😂, but go for it 😂 maybe you could be an INFLUENCER Ralf 👍🏻
So glad you got a little work done on the kitchen. Too hot to be working this time of year. So good for you. Have a great summer!
Hi to Elena. Hope to see here during our visit in September.
Just an idea mate, the hole in the wall (high up) you said about making a little window, well maybe it would be a good place for an extractor fan, just an idea?
Slowly but surely. Good you enjoy the place as well ❤
It will come up really good
This is a longterm job! I wounder why had not sandblast the walls? Greetings from Hamburg.
Your making progress
Hello from Virginia 🇺🇸
oh joy!
❤
So happy to see you !!
When a home is set to be renovated by this program can it be purchased by a new owner prior to the work starting?
Just an observation, but you were smiling a lot in this video. It made me wonder if you are more happy at that house than the one in Italy. Not that it should mean anything to you either way, but you seem very at home in the garden. Cheers!
Nice properties. Could you please pan more slowly and steadily with your camera? It's hard to watch the video with all the movement. Your subject matter and delivery is great though. Thank you.
hi , i was trying to find the video ,which was talking about the old house next door to you ,?? did the lady agree to you buyin etc or what???? ty
First House I love. Connie dublin ireland 🇮🇪. X
You’ve done a wonderful job! I’ve enjoyed this series with your pretty French house! Looking forward to the next trip! 😊
So much work accomplished. Glad you also got to enjoy old friend too. Nothing better than that!
I image you are tired my friend but it looks 100% better. 😊
quick question do you find being in italy cheapre than when you go back to france - bills, food, petrol etc ??
Hi, well petrol has sort of flattened again, food is much cheaper in Italy as are restaurants. Electricity and water are cheaper in France, and both are cheaper in everything than Austria!
Your energy and perseverance are unbelievable!
Firstly, well done, keeping hydrated in that heat is crucial, surely you worked off a few pounds in sweat alone. I thought your eyes looked incredibly irritated at the end and you looked shattered. Could I suggest rather than transport the wood to the tip, rent a wood and branch chipping machine, which would then produce mulch for some areas of the garden. This may reduce the bramble and grass re growth in some areas. Yes, feeding the machine would be effort, but less time wasted on tip runs and costly “Recycling” outlay! Just a thought? Hope journey was safe and you had some time to rest before return to work. Best wishes Alex
Hi Alex, I did look for a chipper to rent, but couldn't find one nearby for a reasonable price...
Great work and a lot done in a week! I am 100% sure that many would love to rent that house. It is a home!
Just a little seasick from the camera swings. Definitely makes me less likely to watch.
Sorry!
Job well done!
I love the garden and location of the house and can see it has a lot of potential, but I really struggle to see it as a rental property. Speaking personally, were I a tenant, I wouldn't want to devote the many hours per week required to maintain such a large garden. And to top it off, the property will require extensive updating and renovations before any sane tenant would want to move in. For instance, the kitchen is in dire need of cupboards and work surfaces. Also, the electrics look a bit dodgy. I wish you good luck and I hope you find a tenant, but I still think you are underestimating just how much time and work the property needs before it's rentable.
You are insane! and I love it. Thanks for including us in your adventures. Always the very best to you and your family.
You accomplished so much this week. Wow. I followed you every step of the way and watched with awe at all you got done. The drone was amazing. It's so interesting to see everyone's home from a birds eye view. The properties, the orchard and all of your garden is just great. It's been lots of work for sure. I have a question which you don't have to answer. Is it possible to rent a chipper and just grind everything up so you don't have to borrow a trailer, load it and then take it to the dump? Just grind it and use the chips for the garden. When we lived in the country we found a guy who had one for his own use and had him come over for a very cheap price and we helped him grind everything, limbs and branches. Well worth it. We piled everything up where he could back in and did it in one long visit. Just a thought. Xo
I did look for a rental chipper, but didn't find one..
You’ve achieved so much this week and what a transformation! Look after yourself, your eyes look very sore, possibly an allergy/hay fever/ reaction to all of the garden action. Sun glasses might help to protect your eyes? Love your videos, you seem such a decent hard working family guy. Safe journey home. Regards from the UK 😊😊
Nice amount of work during the week. Meeting an old friend to top it off is icing on the total week. Cheers!
♥
Can’t help worrying about the broken gutter above the barn door. Water dripping down is rotting the lintel and then the collapse of the stone above is inevitable. Next time?
I will take look next time
Beautiful house. Love all of the original features. Did you say about when it was built?
It was mostly built at the end of the 18th c.
