Amazing what you both manager to get done in a year! You’ve worked very hard an archieven a lot.contrast to that. It is a beautiful setting and your Borgo will be e real “little peace of heaven “ by the time you finished. Especially when all the plants, trees will grow bigger and you will have a lust garden. I wish you all the best , a lovely Home.

[@borgobaroti]

Thank you! Our dream is to have beautiful, big and colorful garden

[@andersdottir1111]

It’s wonderful how these abandoned dwellings once more are brought to life. Though that underfloor heating always gives me major anxiety/ it only takes one small break in the pipe for the whole floor to be ruined.😳

[@borgobaroti]

We don’t do the „classic” floor heating. We will use underfloor heating mats ❤️ we will install them very soon so I guess you will be able to see them in next episode

Love the property and of course the views! You have done so much work! Congratulations! Looking forward to more videos and watching you progress with the property. Loved it that you started with cleaning up the brambles and setting up your garage. So much easier to work when you have a place for your tools! Great seeing your work together as well!

[@janislohman8125]

Wow you've worked so hard over the year good job! GOD bless you to complete your dream,in JESUS NAME AMEN from Seattle washington USA 💜👍🇺🇸💖

[@unternehme]

Congrats for the massive effort and persistence. However, I am not sure I share some of your choices. You demolished a stone building and rebuilt in cement and modern bricks in rather different forms. At least you "hid" it with face stones, but wasn't it possible to preserve the existing one? I truly hope the bigger and nicer house will be preserved through a conservation/restoration! Good luck for the rest of the journey!

[@borgobaroti]

Thank you for your comment. We answered for similar question several times in regular episodes. In short: only “the bigger” building is treated like a house on the whole property. The rest of the budiligs are treated like a stable, so they are not adapted to the apartment where you are able to live - we had to do that. In this case rebudilding (with the new, modern materials - because you must meet appropriate construction conditions e.g. earthquake reinforcement) was the best option. To preserve the appearance of the Tuscan-style house (this is also a requirement and we also like it), we used old stone that was dismantled from the house. The bigger house which you see on the video will be preserved through a restoration as you mentioned but we also have to use modern technologies to meet current construction conditions

[@unternehme]

@@borgobaroti thanks for the clarification and apologies if it was asked already. In my experience different architects and technicians will propose different options depending on their level of expertise in conservation and their sensitivity to historical preservation. I do think we are guardians of an ancient bulding's history rather than their exclusive owners, and it is our responsibility to pass it on to future generations in the best state possible. Often times less invasive options are available with a bit of research and effort, which would allow to keep the modern alterations to a minimum. It is about finding the right professional for the job, which can sometimes be a challenge but not impossible. So good luck with that!

[@borgobaroti]

@@unternehme no problem, better to ask the way than to go astray😊

[@borgobaroti]

@@michlblacksmith it was necessary in our opinion and it was the best choice (we and our team decided). You can always buy your property and renovate it on your own terms (slower, investing more money). Here you will always find a combination of modern technology and traditional look because this is what we like 😊

[@borgobaroti]

@@michlblacksmith ok, you are right. The buildings with non-efficient insulation are better because later they consume much more carbon and electricity etc., which is very ecological. Many times we were spending vacations in buildings with bad insulation and ventilation (usually old buildings) and the planty of humidity and bad air there isn’t normal to leave in it healthily. In one of our episode we talk about insulation we chose and we explained why but I assume you didn’t even look there. I don't see any further need to exchange opinions. You have your vision which I respect but not accept in this case and we have ours - this one we will implement.

[@anitawijbenga2808]

Very nice.

[@alpal6300]

I enjoyed watching your start, with all your creativity and hard work. I’m wondering why you didn’t connect the new house to the old house. Will you have multiple families living on site? What will you plant? Will you have livestock? I’m looking forward to seeing your work progress.

[@borgobaroti]

We will renovate all buildings but one by one. The big one which you see very often on the video will be our private house and the rest of buildings will be rented soon or later 😊 I encourage you to watch all the regular episodes (they are short). We say more there

Could you make a playlist with all your videos from oldest to newest? Then it would be easier to watch your whole story from start to finish in chronological order, with youtube autoplay the videos are a little bit mixed.

[@borgobaroti]

Sure! I will create it today

[@LeisaStroud-df4yj]

❤ the stone walls... + I’m afraid of those cleared hills, what’s going to happen to your road etc. when you get a big rain? 🌧 🌧 🌧 Mudslides?! 🤞🏽 xx

[@borgobaroti]

there was a big rain already and nothing happened but to be clear, this is not the final look of the road. We talk about it more is previous episode

[@joopworst]

Enjoyed watching it, but the place looked much nicer before you started. It’s all earth and rock

[@borgobaroti]

Nothing is finished yet so don’t worry! It will be very nice! 😃

[@KristalyCsaba]

Nice job ! What are your plans with the rest of the buildings ? In the garden and near the entrance road you won't have any problems because uf the sun ? The stone wall and the part where you cleared the bushes probably will be heated by the sun and I am afraid that there is a danger that the soil will get scorched. It happened to me, although I live in a much more temperate climate. I also cleaned the terrain, but in the end, the sun schorched the grass. I tried constant watering and everything, but in the end I had to plant again small bushes and plants that resisted to the heat.

[@borgobaroti]

We think about it, we want to use plants which are popular in this region. In this area we’ll probably do a pool too. All the buildings will be renovated as soon as possible and part of them we want to rent.

[@KristalyCsaba]

@@borgobaroti Thanks for the reply. Waiting to see new videos.

[@tomasst4360]

a lot of work and also a lot of money invested in there...but overall nice job:) what are the plans with the big building next to house?

[@borgobaroti]

This house is for us (the rest ones we want to rent soon or later) and due to the fact that this building is the main building on the property (has between 400-200 years) we have to renovated it in stone by stone (so it’s harder and more time consuming than renovation of the rest of buildings) that’s why we leave it for the future, I guess 2025/2026. In 2024 we start renovation of the building which we are staying in for now

[@cynthiaspringer9085]

Hi from Zimbabwe!!! Just started watching your vlog now so very much behind with your journey. Is this a renovation or new build?

[@borgobaroti]

We called it renovation because this word also includes rebuilding. Rebuilding was necessary in this case because this building was “a stable”

[@swansong5247]
