049 || How Did They Get This In To Begin With?

[@homemoviesandotherstuff3419]

You have the nicest dad! Not only is he teaching you and helping you, but also allowing you to learn without taking over. Pretty special ✨️

[@judyfudge2458]

I know people will be glad when the sewer, water and electrics are sorted and you begin the restoration on the house but be proud your doing it right. Looking forward to future videos.

[@KathyWarren-i1i]

Keep at it Sam, it's coming along. Your dad is a great helper. 🇨🇦

[@philpoulin479]

Each cut you make it brings your dream get that much closer.

[@richardellison536]

I have to commend you on your work ethic. Never seen such a convoluted method that the former owners ran pipes through the walls! You will get there eventually keep up the amazing work. Has your dad decided yet that you were crazy to take on such a deteriorated villa? The basic bones of the villa seem fine but the systems are a total redo, electrical seems to be a gut job as well! Good luck on your project will be watching with interest the obstacles the building will throw at you next.

[@AlanHough-p1w]

Oh the twists and turns of all those pipes 😮

[@Villa_Oliva]

insane right

[@libbywatson8058]

I check your notifications every morning! so good to watch something interesting / educational /. Entertaining/ professional and amazing how skilled you and your father and friends all dig in to help

[@marthasherwin46]

I'm usually a fan of the quick and dirty renovation you often see on KZbin. For some reason, I'm interested in your journey showing the ups and extended downs of reno. But the journey is longer than expected with the pipes... I imagine so for you too. I look forward to running water throughout the villa, soon. I imagine you do ad well.

[@AnnParker-r8c]

I admire both of you having so much patience getting these pipes out you could do with a chisel that has a rubber end save your hands damage in such awkward spaces 😫 by the way love your logo. Ann🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Villa_Oliva]

Thanks Ann!

[@karenchesser6348]

Don't know if you can or not, but instead of leaving the pipes exposed, when you get through with replumbing, and put the pipes back where they need to be, I would inclose the pipes in the corners with a box filled with insulation. They wouldn't freeze that way. I sure would hate to see you dig out the walls to put in new plumbing. Some of it you can't help but bury, but any exposed pipes I would try it. Just a thought.😮

[@Villa_Oliva]

definitely will insulate them, thanks for sharing!!

[@Carmen-re9sk]

You have so much to work but the final will be so beautiful.

[@nancyf18]

Great job Sam and dad

[@marieratcliffe4804]

i can't help but wonder, do you hold your breath with every pipe you cut through in hope that its not still connected to the mains water. so far you've done amazingly finding where not only the inside but the outside pipes run too. hopefully with all the pipes your collecting up you should get a good amount of scrap value back on it

[@Villa_Oliva]

no we've disconnected them, no worries. I have much more exciting plans with all the pipes, more in the spirit of re-/upcycling.

[@starwonder54]

I have a couple of basic questions about the villa in general…First, it seems to be huge and much more space than you and your partner (and even a family) could reasonably occupy…Do you have plans to create an additional apartment to help out with the costs of upkeep? Secondly, many of the spaces where you have videos seem to be very “hard”…Tile floors, ceramic fixtures, and spaces where noise really echoes…l know it is not your first priority, but will it be possible to soften some of the “institutional” qualities that the villa seems to have acquired over the years? Thanks!

[@Ragnar8504]

Furniture, curtains, rugs and all that are going to change the echo-y nature of the building. Every empty room is like that.

[@TheZioJoe]

great work !!!

[@CatherineH.-gf7mm]

Great work!!!

[@lesley-annknight7121]

Good job!

[@jeffalexander1104]

The old plumping looks very sound. Why pull the old pipes? Yes some rust but did you consider flushing the system first?

[@imageofhand]

Beautiful villa😊

[@gloriasmestad3803]

On a recent vlog, you casually mentioned that the rats had made themselves known in the kitchen while you were away. Have you figured out how to get rid of them? I am hoping.

[@Villa_Oliva]

I think so, but time will tell

[@HarryWehner]

In plain german = crazy! They laid the pipes like an Italian highway.

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Good evening at 11pm on 5.2.24

[@Dtexsis]

Wow, those pipes are placed crazy!

[@Villa_Oliva]

right?!, it's interesting yet frustrating

[@Skattie]

Awesome, coming on slowly b

[@magdazanchetta]

Why are plumbing pipes curved? To prevent sewer gasses from entering your living space. The pipe bend known as the trap ensures that there is a water seal separating the sewage system from the inside of your home. >>>>Is this what's happrning? One suggestion: pls activate legend in various idioms, in my country, Brazilian Portuguese. I think it would also be nice to have italian (roman) or the piemontese dialect. It would be a kind gesture to your neighbors. Keep the good work!!

[@Ragnar8504]

Ehhhh, no. That's true for drains but they're cutting central heating pipes that were part of a completely closed and pressurised system. These pipes were bent so they could be finagled into the walls.

[@nabil200131]

Ciao !

[@stewlarsen709]

That's just wild. How indeed did they get that stuff in there???

[@Villa_Oliva]

your guess is as good as mine. sometimes it looks like it has te be original, but still, that'd be strange

[@salvo9718]

Question, will you keep those heating pipes exposed or will you somehow cover them up after you replaced them.

[@Villa_Oliva]

yeah no definitely will insulate them

[@salvo9718]

@@Villa_Oliva Good choice Sam, can't wait for what comes next.

[@LoireValleyChateaux]

Will you be using Pex, Copper or both? ❤️🙏

[@Villa_Oliva]

I think both

[@Lovenature255]

Get yourself a multi tool if you don’t already have one 😊

[@DeeSeeTheCast]

I bet in the old days this villa was a mill, considering the creek running so close to it

[@Villa_Oliva]

as far as I know it wasn't but you do raise an interesting point

[@patrickwiklund2039]

👍

[@BoEdh]

I must ask you, why do you take the pipes away? Have you seen some leeks or what? I Works with buildings and we have an age of 80 years on heating systems befors we think of changing them.😊

[@schnickschnack2000]

Leadpipes also?

[@Villa_Oliva]

because the system is disconnected, on top of that we aren't going to use that system for the floors above the ground floor. good point though, we are going to try to reuse some of it later.

[@sundanceks5074]

Just curious. Are all the water pipes copper?

[@Villa_Oliva]

nope, steel and some copper

[@hedgewood7152]

✨🌞✨

[@KarenWood-cj4xi]

Why not use a pipe cutter?

[@ОльгаНетесанова-э2щ]

Это самая трудоемкая работа😅

[@KlausBlankenhagel]

und dann gibt es noch einen boschhammer!!!???

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Why would anyone put an electric socket in a bathroom 😳 Maybe the room wasn’t a bathroom to begin with !!

[@schnickschnack2000]

I‘ve counted 20 bathrooms so far.😂

[@piotrwyborski2871]

kiedy kupisz sobie porzadne narzedzia? Przykrrrrrrrrrrrro się ogląda, jak wykonujesz prace starym młotkiem, stara przewodową szlifierką, o łopacie i kilofie nie wspomną. Stać na taką wille a na elektronarzędzia nie? Czy Ty masz plan renowacji, harmonogram prac, kosztorys bo wydaje mi się że nie!!!!! pozdrawiam i pracuj ale najpierw pomyśl

[@josephinem.]

Joh ga jij eens ergens anders onaardig doen.

[@valentinerichardbarker8765]

What an awful noise.

Is this a tutorial on breaking out of prison?

They would look identical wouldn't they
