#27 a countryside farmhouse renovation in Le Marche, Italy

After landscaping comes the big tidy up to get the renovation back into shape. Clearing the house in preperation for plastering, wiring, and flooring for the lounge. Outside I get ready for the new olive trees and other plants, trees and bushes that I have bought.

I love Sunday's in Italy. I get so much done. When the weather is mild with blue skies, working from sunrise to sunset is really enjoyable....if topped off with a good glass of wine of course! 😂

Welcome to my channel about my big plans to renovate an old abandoned, rustic farmhouse that I bought in Italy. Not being able to live in Italy full time means that the Italian lifestyle and dream is one that I am slowing moving towards. My channel shows you why I chose to buy a house in Italy and why I chose the Marche region over places such as Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo and Puglia. A blend of renovation, exploration and reality with as much fun as an unfunny middle age man can muster.

having a week off, so I can finally catch up with your adventure, Richard.
binged the last 5 videos 😋
you've come far. but it's good that you're not rushing it and taking it slow. though, yeah, sometimes it could be faster, but that's Italy 😅
how much was the costs at the end for the landscaping, if I may ask?
I wanted to check your setup (tech thing) as I noticed you upgraded, but when i click on it, on your Amazon page, it says "the link you clicked, may not be working", so maybe check on it
may I ask, where you will you be or already did, buy the olive trees?
saluti from the south of Italy 🍷

i have to say your channel your videos are some of the most enjoyable to watch and even when i’m very busy i am happy to get caught up 😄

[annedodd]

Looks amazing but I’m worried about the double banks surrounding the house and water ingress later? You must have thought about this and have a plan??

[clemerz]

A well earned reward for a day of hard work! Cheers from wintery 🇨🇦!

Well done Richard! Cheers to another great flick 🤩 I hope you get some time with family and friends over the holidays, stay warm 🍷☕☺

[alancooper]

Shame to burn all those branches, if you had a chipper would be a great way to start off a decent compost pile

[paulrayner]

Looks like good fun! Keep them coming!

The best tool for roots you can't get a saw to is a mattock.
I've been without wine for a week, including my birthday (thanks to Metronidazole & Amoxicillin).
Apparently the former makes you violently sick if you drink alcohol.
Tomorrow night, it's going to be a bottle of English Bacchus.

First of all congratulations for the great choice of music .. And then .. I accidentally came across your channel, I watched all the old videos and now I'm eagerly waiting for the new ones. I live in a country close to Italy and this way of life is so familiar to me! You are doing a great job!

[davidmiller-brbu]

That’s how my mind works too wine goes off if you don’t finish the bottle 😂
