#56 WINDOWS ARE FINALLY HERE! | Renovating an Abandoned Stone House in Italy

We bought this stone house in Italy during the pandemic in 2020. The house was a ruin and we saved everything we could, unfortunately that meant only four stone and clay walls! The back wall, against the terrain, was close to collapse; the roof beams were eaten and basically reduced to dust; the inside separation walls were easily taken down and the whole project turned into a heavy renovation/rebuild.

I live in Yorkshire in the UK. Our old single glaze windows were very old and skellered and didn’t shut properly. We had moss growing around the windows and i had to dry the windows and ledges with a towel. When we were able to get new double glazed windows. The fitters took me to each window to see if I was happy with the work. I just burst into tears. They were not expensive by other windows standards , but I thought they were beautiful. To have big expanses of glass to watch the birds, see the garden and watch clouds. Is wonderful. We saved so much on our heating bills, the outside noise is shut out and we are finally secure with the window locks. I understand completely how happy you are with your new doors and windows. They look fabulous and to be able to visit the workshop and see the craftsmen make them was lovely.

[@Janine6564]

The wood you choose for your windows matches the facade so beautifully. 😍

[@oskar3428]

Craftsmanship always pays off! The chosen wood for windows and doors harmonizes perfectly with the brick walls of the house.

[@dominiquesulis1048]

Super travail félicitations pour le résultat

[@dominicchaize1112]

Small detail: the walls are not brick but stone, and I never saw windows that 'harmonized' worse. Dreadful.

[@stephennutkin2477]

[@joanbroadway759]

It's amazing what a difference doors and windows make. The exterior looks finished now. What beautiful craftsmanship.

[@harrietlivengood6793]

The widows are beautiful. I’ll be glad when you can finally move into your house. I love that your fur baby gave his hand of approval on the widows and doors. 🐾 He is the star of the show. He’s a cutie pie!

Thank you! ☺️

[@jlconway]

Such wonderful craftsmanship, your home is swiftly becoming the envy of everyone who dreams of the Italian countryside. Also if I may, I love listening to you narrate. My Italian language skills are terrible and I only catch every 4th or 6th word, but fill in the blanks with the closed captioning. Hearing it naturally from a local speaker helps make sense in my mind. My great grandparents were from Ancona & Sicily and I was never taught the language as a child, but decades later I'm trying to pick up bits and pieces to learn when I can. Grazie mille ❤

[@peggywhite93]

Sure wish we had this craftsmanship in America.

[@mahalia5594]

What lovely windows, you home looks so beautiful already

[@michaelkunze411]

Now your house have its own, unique face! Congratulations!

The windows are stunning! It looks so beautiful and harmonious with the surrounding nature😊

[@theone6311]

Beautiful windows.. love that you kept the raw wood texture. Please keep it natural, it hurts to see a good wooden object being painted. Or stained in dark. Big respect for the outstanding craftmenship. And congratulations. wish you a peaceful long life in that stunning house.

[@ateliermavi]

We won't apply any product on them, no worries!

[@richardedkins8856]

The color of that wood with the russet in your stones is magical. This is a real milestone and I feel satisfied with the results.

[@gayjacobsen5012]

Wow, wonderful Italian craftsmanship. How excited you must be to finally have the keys to your home. Your doggie will no longer be able to come and go as she pleases. But a simple hand shake from dad does it😊

Such a thoughtful process of those windows. Like the way they open at the side or top. They are magnificent! Made all the difference in the look of the house. The company did a tremendous work on them. Perfection at its best. At least you could take a break from building and get to watch someone else work. You deserve it. Take care and see you next week.

The windows are so beautiful. I’m so glad you chose wood and not vinyl or metal. They go so beautifully with the natural stone. I’m sorry if I missed it but what type of wood did you select?

[@ateliermavi]

Thank you! It's larch! ☺️

[@user-eh5bx3dk6g]

Лиственница, самый лучший вариант, самый надёжный, лет на 100, а может и больше. А лиственница откуда? Может из Сибири русской?

Brillant! I really like how you guys research, select and use materials. Your vision is coming together. Thank you

Grazie mille 🤗

[@opakistrano]

Ciao ragazzi, ho appena scoperto questo canale. Ora comincio a vedermi tutti gli altri episodi. Il posto che avete trovato/scelto è bellissimo. Riesco a seguirvi benissimo perché parlo sia italiano che francese. Io sto lavorando alla ristrutturazione biocompatibile di una casa sulle colline reggiane, dall'altra parte dell'Appennino. In collina a 600m slm. Più o meno come voi mi pare di capire. Sto sul progetto da un anno però. Voi da quasi 3. Ora vedo gli altri vostri episodi.. cerco di capire bene cosa state facendo, poi magari mi piacerebbe molto confrontarmi su alcune cose. Avete ragione che la burocrazia italiana è di una noia mortale.. e spesso anche rigida in modo stupido.. vabbè In bocca al lupo! Il vostro progetto sembra meraviglioso.

[@user-sh3mr9li6i]

Bravo, c'est magnifique et avec les commentaires en italien et l'accent qui chante , c'est du bonheur à l'état pur. Ces fenêtres s'accordent parfaitement avec votre cadre de maison et le paysage ressort dans toute sa splendeur. Après les travaux, vous allez pouvoir profiter de ce point de vue magnifique et vous reposez sur vos terrasses. Mais pour le moment, ils vous restent encore un peu de travail et c'est très bien puisque nous aimons vos vidéos. Un grand merci à vous deux ainsi qu'à votre ami canin. J'aime bien quand il donne la patte. Bon courage pour la suite.

[@ateliermavi]

Merci! 😉

[@avivat3010]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It's been an absolute pleasure to watch your home come together. Your architectural and aesthetic sense is beautiful!

Thank you! 😉
