There's no need to fill the water cistern tank on the toilet. Put the water in a bucket and pore that into the pan.

[@animallover4955]

Now that is what I calla view, beautiful trees, hills, blues skies❤

[@henry5713]

Hi guys! Aden please wear gloves when working with cement as it is very aggressive for your skin. For narrow joints it is better to use a joint iron than your fingers 😁. You can seal very narrow seams with a gray silicone sealant. It may also be useful to use a pipe locator. They cost little and emit a beep when they detect a pipe in the wall. (electrical or metal). Good luck !

[@Our19KHome]

Thanks

Jorgi is sucha a good boy!! He is adorable!!❤

[@JD987abc]

In Abruzzo if you look west you will see the snow capped Alpines. If you look east you’ll see the beautiful Adriatic sea. Most of that region is mountainous with villages that offer both views. Good train service from Pescara connecting to other cities in Italy and other countries. Excellent bus service directly to Rome.

[@KaterinaFerrara]

Aden, I think the trees make the air fresher too. More oxygen floating in ❤

[@roxanneloyst3733]

Good for you that you bought a home and get to renovate it. I love the price you paid for it as well great deal. Looking forward to seeing how you renovate it.

[@purpletoo12]

For novices at remodeling, you guys are doing an exemplary job!

[@jroar123]

You guys are dog lovers, fantastic! I have 4 dogs, 2 chihuahuas, and two labrador retrievers. When I make my move to Italy, I plan on bringing 3 of them. The oldest Labrador is staying in the states. He’s really my dad’s dog but he’s 12 so I don’t know if he would survive the trip.

[@ЮлианаГеоргиева-д2з]

Hello , you could call a plumber who works with a pipe and leak detector . Bravo to you ,you are truly determined to succeed👍

[@JohnPaul-pb4eu]

Hi , can I suggest getting a 45 gal plastic drum and asking a neighbour for some water ? use a hose it will take no time at all. Someone should get a dish and give Jorji some water.

[@Our19KHome]

He had his water bowl with him. The traveling one

[@Agg1E91]

With that little dog barking around 8:03, I was thinking, "Wow! Everyone's a critic!" 😆

[@Our19KHome]

😂

[@tadams7011]

Can you rent, or can your plumber provide, a scope/sewer camera with a locator sensor? Here, in the USA, I have had them use a sewer camera or smaller camera with sensor location to find breaks. The sensor is on the end with the camera. So they can get a signal as to where that sensor is in the plumbing line. Maybe they, or you could send the sensor through that tap in the wall to locate the main plumbing hookup... Just a thought.

[@Our19KHome]

Good idea Thanka

[@alisoncoomber3698]

The green against the blue sky is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@neutonrenda2303]

I bought the same type of letterbox on my last holiday in Italy and carried it around with me back to South Africa. It is now in the wall of my cottage in the middle of the Karoo.👍❤

[@danaatkins6827]

I see your house number is 7. The 7th house is a place of introspection and contemplation. The energy of the 7th house promotes tranquility, soul searching, knowledge gathering and spiritualité... Every number has a meaning...See you soon Fiorella

[@Our19KHome]

Thanks for that. It does feel like that so much. Funny though, the house has three numbers on the outside. Each door has a number 5,7 and 9 ❤️

[@neutonrenda2303]

The view of the mountains behind your house has a huge amount of forested area, normally you see much more open areas. Your views look like an old forest, it makes it more private as well.👍

[@TheZsuZsa123]

I like both views ocean and redwood trees. North coast California has trees and mountains bordering the ocean. I love your green view outside the back balcony it is beautiful.

[@PeterMccabe-h3q]

mountain view any day

[@Kim-J312]

Definitely mountain view 👍👍👍👍👍 ❤

[@heatherharrison109]

22:20 “why am i getting nowhere?” - Aden -Also me, every time I attempt to mount anything in my own block house 😆

[@Our19KHome]

😂

[@myhomeanddreamgarden]

Mountain view. My daughter live at the front on the Pacific ( we in Australia ) is terrible, always so weedy, we hardly use amazing around the house balkony . Always so cold as ocean brings cold wind and when is stormy is so scary. 🌞

[@Our19KHome]

👍

[@Agg1E91]

Wow. You have quite a few channels. Must keep you busy.

[@Our19KHome]

For sure!

[@brian6464]

Mountain view. I find an ocean view a little melancholy.

[@Our19KHome]

👍

[@dpierovich]

Hi Aiden, for drilling masonry, you need a different kind of drill bit. The one you used is only for wood or metal and will be trashed after using it on masonry.

[@louisemaree2704]

Fyi. Cement is an ingredient in concrete so it's not actually concrete 😊. My SIL is a concrete tester in Australia and has taught me this recently 🎉

[@MrNoncredo]

don't worry about breaking the walls to look for the pipe, in any case you won't be able to use those old pipes, the water pressure, once the system is active again, will break those old rusty pipes in a few minutes, and the damage they will be greater than breaking those rotten walls

[@Our19KHome]

👍 true

[@ValerieBarris-wr5mv]

Clearing the vines looked really hard. Such a beautiful home.

[@Our19KHome]

Yes it was! Lucky our friend had the chainsaw

[@afitlife]

Nice little place. Great space big rooms. So this is your second place. You want to move there later?

[@Our19KHome]

Don't know yet really. It might become a holiday/winter place

[@UnluckyPlant]

We keep thinking about that 1€ home you guys showed that you were also tempted by - you guys could get that one, and then eventually make this home into 2 awesome airbnb units. Just an idea, since the two floors of this one aren’t connected and the apartment owner doesn’t want to sell, yet. Either way, we love watching both your channels! Thanks for all the hard work you both are putting into filming everything! 🙌🏽

[@Our19KHome]

Thanks. They would be too spread out to manage we think, plus we would be spreading ourselves too thin since we have a buildable block of land nearby here where we would love to put a house on too

[@Wendy-i1i]

😊I admire your determination to achieve your goals ,Step by step you’ll Create a lovely Space and Home ,the View over the Mountain is lovely ,and the town looks peaceful ❤Cheers 🇦🇺 Great one of the neighbours is advising with the water etcElectricity connection 😊

[@ValerieBarris-wr5mv]

❤ Im learning a lot from your hard work renovating . Such a beautiful area. Friendly neighbor's along with Gods given pets for support. Love you guys. ❤

[@Our19KHome]

So true. Thank you ❤️

[@jsw-farmer4140]

You were getting no where because you need a masonry drill (trapano per muratura). Your making great progress, you will need more powerful tools

[@Our19KHome]

We forgot some of the drill bits

[@danaatkins6827]

Hello from Belgium, I really enjoy your videos, thank you both. Very clear videos with a very good camera. Courage to you both for the work. The vieuw is superb in this quiet spot where you can hear the birds sing " Welcome Fiorella and Aden here in Italy".the birds know you're lovely people, and I know it too...I'd like to have a crush on a cheap house with no work to do..lol...God, it's hard to get old and not to be like we used to be...maybe one day.. I hope because hope gives life.

[@Our19KHome]

Thank you very much!

[@gregorr5748]

we love you. Greetings from Amsterdam. Anna & Gregor❤

[@Our19KHome]

Thank you guys ♥️

[@skx9159]

I don't know if im being daft but surely the plumber should be able to work out what the current set up is and he will have equipment to find the pipes without bashing all the walls?

[@Nelliebean6]

Considering that the previous owner would have needed water, that is so weird that the water pipe system is so confusing and that a meter needs to be installed. I can't help but feel like you'll discover the piping goes to one of the properties on either side of you and metering was shared? Or could it be at the back wall of your property?

[@Our19KHome]

I wouldn't be surprised. Usually these houses have been divided and reunited over the years. Since meters are taken away by the companies after the services have been disconnected for X amount of time that just makes it harder for the newer owners like us

[@lisaoliva2903]

Hi there it's a beautifull place i prifer montains. The living room it would look Nice as well with Windows to the floor for that gourguos view. It's all going to look beautifull. All the best

[@Our19KHome]

👍

[@Dawnsky1957]

Your house views are beautiful. Good that you are doing a lot of the work on your home yourself. Your house is really nice. All the best on your future endevours! Hello from Dawn living in Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada,

[@Our19KHome]

Thank you so much!

[@aminaschipp2857]

Ciao, sono curiosa di sapere se ci sono fontanelle per strada dove potresti prendere acqua senza spendere una fortuna a comprare bottiglie.

[@Our19KHome]

Ciao. The water bottles we refill at our other house. Someone mentioned there's a fountain but we haven't come across it yet

[@mariaeugenia7599]

Oh Fiorella! The firstvtime I saw your house and the need of a niche to get connected to the water, I wondered where was it connected previously. Will you have to redo the whole interior plumbing? That would be a bit of a nightmare! Maybe it was connected to the cantina an up from there? I hope you can solve it in the easiest and cheaper way.

[@Our19KHome]

Cia ME, yes we want to redo the electricity and plumbing

[@vivianlarsen4288]

Try water/dowsing rods?

[@Our19KHome]

👍

[@jodiehebert8285]

The gray metal plate is meant as a utility box, correct? I was nervous when I saw the pipe! Is it hard to hire a plumber? The running water would be most helpful! You both are very diligent and patient with this project. Kudos!

[@Our19KHome]

Hi, yes the metal doors are for meters: gas, electricity, water, etc. It is not that difficult to find a plumber but there are delays as he needs more information from the water company, etc

[@SergeiSmalkov]

If pipes are metal a magnet or a wire detector would help

[@jodiehebert8285]

It is a glorious mountain view!! Love all the lush green out the window. Will you sell the other place in Molise (if you currently own it) or possibly do Air Bnb?

[@Our19KHome]

Hi, We don't think so. We will see what happens because we love them both

[@elsienorback7689]

It takes time for cement to dry.

[@PaulBredt]

You folks have way more energy than me. I paint. Every day you work on the house you have 3 hours of driving?

[@MorenoArtStudio]

You shoud ask the neighbours upstairs, because Ii know for a fact that in the same box they can fit two water meters

[@Our19KHome]

Their water meter is inside their apartment 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nancybrowning3380]

do you have a basement, if so the pipes might be down there. just a thought

[@Agg1E91]

Is the place you stop for caffe, in a specific town along the way or is it just a "convenience store" of its own, by itself?

[@Our19KHome]

It's a large gas station and eatery on the freeway

[@ThePhilosopherTed]

Metal Detector?

[@mariagillinson8527]

Jorgi is cute! How old is he?

[@Friskyhorton]

Didnt I see a tap outside, down the street a bit?

[@animallover4955]

Is your dog a Pyrenees or maremma?

[@FatherVinyard88]

Mmm those paninos you had for lunch look delicious, whats in them??

[@Our19KHome]

They were! Ham and cheese

[@CherryDiMilo]

its seems like a gas station to me..on the way...

[@Our19KHome]

Yes, a big one with a supermarket and hot food
