Farmhouse Renovation | DREAM VIEWS & Summer Lifestyle in ITALY #24

This old house renovation is progressing nicely and is starting to turn from abandoned to loved. Italian property and slow living. The new window for the converted room that will become the lounge opens up the view and lets the light flood into the farmhouse. It feels like a big step forward and gives me a real positive feeling about this build in Italy. I can see the DIY renovation is slowly turning into a family home for the future. There is plenty of work to do and a long way to go but the progress is feeling great.

Help is at hand from my daughters this time. A short summer break at the house mixed with a little exploring of Le Marche and Italy. Time flies by too quickly on weeks like this. This endless summer is what dream of living in Italy is all about.

I love reading the comments and think there is a lovely group of like minded people starting to enjoy this and get involved. It is always great to hear from where you are watching in the world. Thank you for the subscriptions and all the support. 🙏I’m receiving lots of emails and Instagram DMs from individuals and couples that are exploring Italy and house hunting. As my YT videos are a few weeks out of date, if you are ready and are actively looking then please do message me as fresh options are coming up now that I have opened up the questions about properties for sale in this area of Italy.Best wishes,

Richard. 🍷

Welcome to my channel about my big plans to renovate an old abandoned, rustic farmhouse that I purchased for a bargain in Italy. I don't live in Italy full time, which adds a layer of complexity to the Italian lifestyel! I show 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. For those that like @NickiPositano @WildWonderfulOffGrid @MartijnDoolaard or @escapetoruralfrance I hope you feel in the right place here also.

All the hard hot lonely days, to have your daughters there sharing it with you makes it worth it.

As a father I know how much love you can feel for your children and believe me Richard you really moved me, how beautiful it was with your daughters here in Italy I hope they had fun, bye

[tamaraodowd]

Awww, you have a beautiful family. Your girls are so lovely. It was beautiful watching your tenderness with them.

[Grisby-gq]

I think it is really healthy that your children get to experience 1st hand what physical challenges are involved in your life in Italy, and also the way of life very positive video, thanks for sharing.

[Reet]

Lovely young women! So glad you had some time together.

[KarenFeuilherade]

The start of many years of memorable holidays together!!

[Smeegs]

Love how your kids started off nervous/embarrassed about the camera and by the end they were so confident with it

Hi, Richard..must say that the girls are just beautiful 😍 and seems the beach days were a lot of fun..& Rome wow 🤩 & the bedroom with stars 🤩 serene the large glass window looks amazing..took 7 attempts?

[davidmiller-brbu]

Lovely to see you and your girls together..it’s what it’s all for Rich 😊

[helenperrott]

So lovely to see you with your daughters. Great job on that picture window. We so enjoy being part of your adventures

[pjt]

This is by far my favorite video your girls are absolutely lovely. And what a sweet father they have. Thank you for sharing them with all of us. They sure are sweet and precious

[NancysBungalowLife]

Your daughters are beauties! How wonderful that you got to share your love of Italy with them, plus you got some help with that huge new window.

[MrPooties]

Rick you figured it all about parking in Italy: white is free, blue you have to pay, yellow is just for residents of the town. There's nothing else. Also great job on the window. Didn't I tell you before? ❤

[neutonrenda]

On my first holiday to Italy I decided to have a haircut and it was quite an experience. Apart from the language problem I had two older men fighting over who understood what I wanted, but it turned out to be the best cut I've ever had, to this day 😂👍

[AhaAha-ng]

Richard, what a perfect mix of everything you can do with your children. Work together, hang out, sunbathe and swim in the sea or just take it easy and hang out. As we always said, your small balcony is a perfect building/bedroom👍. The window will be perfect and what a nice view it will be. I have four sons and they asked me to say that your daughters seems very nice! My youngest son told me that your youngest daughter was super pretty. Fight on in paradise and we await your next Vlog. Best regards from us in Sweden🇸🇪

[peterborchers]

Your daughters will have a nice holiday home one day, Richard. That's worth a bit of slave labour 😉 Glad you had help this time.

[katyamishha]

When you spoke about your children earlier, for some reason I imagined children of about ten years old. It was a surprise to see two grown-up girls)

[davidlanders]

These are the moments you both will remember, working together is an amazing opportunity. Well done both of you. I know this is going to sound kind of preachy, but building something with your child, builds the child as much as the parent. Well done. But I think you already know

[Coopsterish]

Your daughter is lovely…what a trooper. On the other hand, this window was not installed properly and will leak like a sieve when the next mistral blows in.

[laurarigby]

Really enjoyed this video! Lovely seeing you with your lovely daughters! and I especially like hearing the lovely Mancunion accent and mannerisms
