#54 Our dreams for the facade (& more work on the windows) - Renovating in Italy

[@SantoshiWagner-Anue]

The photography in your videos is breathtaking. I love the mix of working on projects and then a close up of a flower or a vista of clouds and sunshine - just lovely.

[@Aruneh]

13:11 That is mindblowingly beautiful

[@triciazimmerman3522]

Your workbench is to die for. Love the methodical way you two tackle projects.

[@cbrashsorensen]

Bertus and Isis are the greatest work team here on KZbin and I admire all the work that you do. Thank you for interspersing lovely footage of the countryside in these last weeks of summer.

[@lieuwina]

You both amaze me with all that you know and with the carpentry that Bertus does. The countryside is so beautiful and I thank you both for sharing this with us. Have a lovely day.

[@Patricia-v9v6j]

I love the back ground music 🎶 very under stated and enjoyable...love watching the genus 😊😊😊of the carpenter....will be watching..you are a lovely couple...good luck and many blessing❤❤

[@DEEDEE-cn1ud]

Bertus' skill with woodworking is amazing. The precision nature of his work and high quality woodworking finishes, reflect the skill set he had in his previous career as a metal worker creating medieval armor. How he can adapt equipment to purpose is truly impressive for a relative nooby to woodworking. Great work on those window restorations and refitting them from single glaze to double glaze windows. He could probably make a side job of doing the same for others in the area, for ready cash, once his work on his own home is sufficiently complete for use.

[@RobertHornaday]

Bertus and Isis….Thank you for the segment on architectural elements and brief discussion on local architectural controls. The beauty of the built environment in Italy didn’t happen by chance, but by design. Also, the effort to update/refurbish rather than replace all the windows is substantial. I truly appreciate your interest in utilizing similar details and color pallets of local buildings. You guys amaze me!

[@justlife765]

Yes!

[@MimiPet]

Hello dear Family, I missed some episodes of you but today I saw all of them. So your works home and windows are going on. Step by step your new home will become a beautiful place to live in! Take care of yourself and don't forget to relax! ❤

[@paulaadams1765]

Your meticulous workmanship and patience is to be commended. Outstanding.

[@karendiedrich659]

Absolutely love watching your videos. It's obvious that you both take such pride in your work. And your drone footage was absolutely out of this world this episode! It almost feels spiritual and meditative to watch. Thanks for bringing us on your journey.

[@avidarson]

My face when you started BEATING that cabinet to DEATH 😧😧😧 😂😂😂

[@storiesfromthecascina]

It was already dead - covered in mould (clearly pictured), original legs missing, veneer peeling off and desintegrating fiber board insides. Even for us, some things are beyond saving.

[@avidarson]

@@storiesfromthecascina I could tell! It just caught me by surprise! 😅

Hi Isi🇧🇪 & Bertus🇳🇱,Great progress for the both of you, extended skils & Improvement,The window`& realy great reconstructed, thanks to high qualety tools-Well-Done👍🏻🙏🏻.Greetings.Hubertus.🇳🇱☮🇳🇴🍀🍀👍🏻🇮🇹

[@lindachenoweth9002]

And I agree with all the positive comments! 🙂

[@tracylyon-woerner8189]

The area in which you live - sublime. Love the inclusion of nature in your vlogs and appreciate the choice to renovate your windows rather than replace

[@neutonrenda2303]

I'm still holding hopes that Velluto will be back.🫣❤️

[@damdekmyhomeដំដែកផ្ទះខ្ញុំ]

Nice this is absolutely nice video

[@ronaldlucas5360]

You are getting close. Love hearing the birds singing the song that God gave them to sing.

[@user-iu6hu8oq5p]

Loved the quick overview of the regional facade architecture. Wish there was more of that kind of content.

[@minervabird1967]

Really like the colour palette you are choosing for your house. It is looking more cared for and beautiful every day. Thank you for another lovely video.

[@aquillinthewind3629]

I feel as if I’ve accomplished something worthwhile after watching your videos, and come away feeling satisfied. I love both of your methodical purposeful ways of doing things. A time to work, a time to relax. A time for this and a time for that. ♥️♥️🌻🦋

[@joanlovelace7338]

You live in a slice of heaven,it is absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed the little trip to the village love to see the village.

[@joeash7781]

Dropped a DIME on that Incra Router fence! Nice upgrade!

[@loubennett9849]

I have loved settling in for my evenings and watching your channel. It is so peaceful and calming to watch. I look forward to seeing more from you both. 🥰🧡

[@elizabethfairlie8296]

I love to watch you both working in a considered and mindful way. I find it very restful..although you may not from time to time.just love it. Many thanks.

[@carmeladaniele3034]

Bert and Isis :Thank you for these wonderful videos, and thank you for loving life!! "I don't want much from life. I just want to know that I tried everything I wanted, I had everything I could, I loved what was worth it and I lost just what was never mine." Pablo Neruda. 🎉

[@phammond8155]

Thank you for this week's update, you guys are doing an amazing job. Your caterpillars are beautiful!

[@Deonna-Draebish]

Semper Paratus! You all make everything look like fun! What a beautiful restoration you are breathing life back into a house that was neglected and making it come back to life! Brava!

[@thomas-gk9jp]

All those "invisible" things are beautiful

[@Anne-yw6ed]

That caterpillar is so extraordinarily beautiful. What colors!

[@leighlaaltilio6672]

I love your vision for the farmhouse! And I know you will do it to perfection!

[@Neroli-Daydreaming-of-France]

Meticulous is the word that occurred to me, as with others. I admire your work doubly, as I am the opposite of meticulous 🤣. Beautiful scenes, I loved the shots of the local architecture

[@johnpeterdean1653]

You are ending up with some really great "Boys Toys" with the woodworking.... The workbench looks really good and a good size for these windows...I am impressed with your improving skill level each week...

[@charlottecrookham]

The panoramas of this episode are exquisite. Thank you for explaining your research to the viewers.

[@michaelzimmerman635]

Liking the router table/lift. I did the same on my tablesaw outfeed table.

[@Erin_Wilson_Studios]

Such beautiful plans you have for your building's exterior!

[@theracodelboscchannel]

They are doing an excellent job, greetings from Barcelona.

[@paulinewilson613]

The hat is back! Bertus you are a true craftsman, restoring those windows that were so full of rot is wonderful to watch, amazing workmanship, not to deduct from the great painting of the windows Isis is doing too, they are going to look beautiful when finished, glazed and put back up again. I love to see that you are doing such a sympathetic restoration of your beautiful farm. Keep up the great work, your videos by the way are lovely with views of nature at work xxx

[@gailresources3970]

Just found you. love what you are doing!

[@valtervogliotti2277]

Bravissimi, bel lavoro, complimenti !!!

[@mariethofstede]

Knap staaltje restauratie werk. Kleuren voor de buitenkant van het huis zijn zo mooi

[@margaretlovelock7031]

Congratulations‼️ You have the most beautifully organised ‘workshop’ in all of KZbin. Must make things so much easier knowing where everything only because you are so organised. I am truly IMPRESSED‼️ It’s pretty obvious that your work ethic is impressing together with the results. That property really deserved you two. Good Luck with the rest of it.🍀🍀🍀

[@tiborgarvelink1925]

Prachtige moodboards voor de kleuren in de regio. Het groen en het oude wit vinden wij ook een mooie keuze. Succes weer de komende week!

[@naomimeyers84]

I'm so enamored by the DIY, ingenuiity, and passion for repurposing ( not to mention your fabulous organizational skills). I'd also like to pay a special note to how much thought you put into your videos by placing your cameras in public places to show the life and the work you go to just moving about in your village. I am excited to see your farmhouse plans come to fruition. Those plaster surrounds on the doors and windows are a beautiful touch. Thank you again for another video of your life in Italy and especially identifying the flora and fauna you encounter.

[@LionelCherruault]

Claire and I have just spent a very enjoyable time watching your vlog, it was a meditation, much needed! Very reminiscent of a series that ran some years ago in the UK called 'slow TV', it was a joy to watch as was yours, we have subscribed and look forward to seeing more, all the best Lionel & Claire

[@kathibrooks1401]

Bertis look at the money you have saved. Your work is beautiful.

[@heatherlaird-mcleod3271]

Your skills are inspirational, and the although tiring has produced a superior product. I love that you have not thrown the frames "out the window" & have restored them instead. 😊 Awesome work.

[@jenniestevens1244]

I love the thoughtful, considered way that you both tackle projects and jobs, so interesting to see. And, the results are a beautiful, organic finish

[@boopshki6736]

After watching your last video, this months Fine Homebuilding magazine came to us and contained herein is an article on “reintroducing linseed oil paint” I love the fact that you both are so ahead of the curve! You inspire us all! Keep up the remarkable work!

[@chanchoyling4919]

I am captivated by the skills and patience of both of you in the reworking of the old windows. The facade should come up well with the careful planning

[@idapacheco7381]

Isis great paint job... love the way both you and Bertus are attacking the restorations of the windows 💪🏻

[@justlife765]

Your plan for the outside of your home is wonderful! It is so well thought out! And, thank you for taking us along on the car ride!😊

[@poodlegirl55]

Wonderful job you two. Super high quality.

[@destinationom]

I really appreciate the cinematography! It's thoughtfully done and a joy to watch both the surrounding nature and your efforts.

[@the-reading-lemon]

I love the careful and considerate way you go about renovating your lovely home. The attention to detail you put into the windows is wonderful and I hope you will be able to finish them right on schedule so your house will be just that little bit warmer in the winter months. I did notice we haven't seen "your" lovely cat in a while. I hope he is doing well and getting more used to your presence.

[@carolined3058]

Lovely storyboard for the house ; once finished it will look amazing.

[@asztapaszta9]

I loved the architectural exploration! Thank you for sharing!

[@Nathanbran2]

Coming along very nicely!!! 😊👍

[@jennichristie5264]

I love sage green too! Looking forward to seeing what combinations you choose for the shutters and surrounds. The stone walls will look fabulous once fully restored. And it should look beautiful in combo with the newer building options.

[@billiekallberg123]

Lovely folks, you view are amazing! You both are so blessed to have found this place and call it your own. The work you do is caring and loving it to be with the life of Italy. I'm sure the people that drive by your place every day are so thrilled to see this place come back to life and a place they enjoy driving by. No more eyesore.

[@macfanguy]

Stunning view from the drone! 😮

May your home be richly blessed always 🍁🧡🍂🧡🍁

At the end of the day, it must be fun to each say to each other: You did a beautiful job today, My Love.

[@gozoalex7913]

[@CherriRobb]

What a fairy tale setting. I realize you work very hard, but what a beautiful place to live. So clever, your hanging of all the window bits. Love the setting for your painting. Bertus, your shop tables are so cool! Isis, your vlog is like a professional movie in story telling! Enjoy with love from Colorado Cherri

I just saw the article written in Business Insider about you both and your move to Italy that was awesome! Congratulations!

[@mickeybailey1108]

At our house outside of Asti we have similar colors. Also the regulations are strict. I just look forward to working with the old wood and restoring the windows and shutters. What a beautiful location you have!

[@marilyn4098]

Thank you 😊

[@christopherschenk9108]

I never thought I would enjoy watching paint dry....so much.... your videos are very mindful. I love the pace of them and the filming and editing is subtle but superb. Thank you.

[@ElfieSilberberger]

I love this gorgious videos with this fantastic nature vieuws, hope all continue and finish your dreams, you are a great couple!

[@princess-violet]

Thank you!! I really appreciate seeing all the little bits of the wood workshop. Im really passionate about wood work, but it feels very safeguarded by men. I have asked many times to woodworkers if I could come along and was always denied access (yup). Making me feel very appreciative to "watch" ina different way on practical projects that are relatable and within the values up upcycling etc. Also, Isis what an amazing filmmaker you are!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nancy-j8o1t]

Mr Precision! Bertus' skills are impressive.

[@neutonrenda2303]

It looks like the product you used for the repair on the frame works really well, the frame looks amazing.

Mein jüngster Bruder ist Schreinermeister, Tischlermeister er hat immer sehr schöne Möbel gezimmert. Mein 2t ältester Bruder hatte Jahrzehnte einen Naturholzmöbelladen in Wolfratshausen, Isartaler Landmöbel, mein Vater Kunstschloßer und Modelbauer aus Lübeck und Schleswig. Ich selber habe viele Handwerkssachen gelehrt bekommen und gelernt. ❤ Es ist sehr wichtig, daß wir das Handwerk verstehen und auch Selbstversorgung und Sprachen lernen 😊

[@TAG993]

Love your videos! Awesome work by both of you fabricating your old frames into new.

[@neutonrenda2303]

I love your colour palette and I think the borders on the newer part of the house will help it not look like a new build. Looking at what you like in your area definitely helps to visualise what you are going to like, great for getting ideas as well.❤

great stuff, thanks for the content

By the way the woodwork is going with the windows, I think you can expect Isis to put in some orders for some speciality furniture pieces lol 😂❤

[@unternehme]

Congratulations, you're doing the right thing (and what all architects should be doing) by researching the specific features of the local architecture and informing your plans accordingly. Well done! How did you get the pantone codes?

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

Nice repair work on the window. Looks good great job.

[@jennpetersen9325]

I enjoy watching the two of you restore the beautiful property. It amazes me that you figure out how to do the restorative work, and to witness the transformation of your property; from clearing some hazel wood and bramble growth, to making your own paint and restoration and adaptation of the wood window frames. Wow! I am interested in the router ‘attachment’ you added to your fabulous work bench. I love hat you label and talk about the flora and fauna on your land, as well. Trying to patiently await the next video!

[@storiesfromthecascina]

Do you mean the router lift? This one was made by Jessem. Or the router fence? This one was made by Incra.

[@jennpetersen9325]

@@storiesfromthecascina thank you for the info - it is the square plate that you had used the new fence on your giant work table. I didn’t know there were attachments like that. I don’t have anywhere near your experience, but I did take a semester of cabinetmaker at my local technical school. We had router tables, and hand held routers and the manual router. That gadget you recessed into your table is cool!
