#58 This job needed to get done before winter

[@sandrakennedy2153]

My Mom planted roses and when she was propogating them, she had 3 leaves above the soil and two leaves below. She then covered them with a glass mason jar in the fall, and in the spring they had roots. She graded roses for Jackson and Perkins. I miss her. She lived to 101 1/2 years. I'm 81. I enjoy watching your videos from Ohio, USA

[@tishrourke]

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing, I’m going to try that!😊

[@janetskitchengarden2038]

What a genius idea!!! Thank you Sandra for sharing and keeping your Mom's rose dreams alive!

[@cherylclark5975]

You both must be so pleased with your progress……Isis I did the potato rose propagation method..they did very well…looked beautiful and healthy..they got to approximately 17 cm high then they all sadly started to die…I might try Sandra Kennedys method and see how I go…puss is starting to settle in…..Thankyou for sharing🇦🇺🇦🇺

The kitten inside Bertus jacket - the sweetest thing

[@dingvelasco6102]

I just realised now how strong Bertus is, lifting those beams on his shoulders like they were pillows, and what a softie he really is with your kitten. Thank you for this stress free channel.

[@stretch9952]

I have a 120 year old house and a 17 year old cat. I relentlessly maintain them both, with inspiration from your videos!

[@mariesalway91]

I have to say how much I appreciated the videography of the flowers in the market. Pelliccia is just adorable

[@wolfgangfuchs1243]

Eine der schönsten Storys hier!! Danke und weiter so....

[@Nancy-j8o1t]

That was a very nice video. I enjoyed seeing a bit of everything: sweet kitty, family, flowers, the alps, Turin and your steadfast work. All so pleasant and interesting. Thank you 😺

[@justlife765]

I have to agree!🌸

[@cindyblair1283]

It’s amazing when you clean up dirt or anything of the matter how wonderful it looks after wards. You both keep everything in its place after cleaning up each building it really looks awesome. I love all the paint colors you have chosen I love all the different types of green you have used. I look forward to your videos each week. I would enjoy making so much of what your doing to make this a beautiful home, but I would be so scared of all the bugs😊. It’s also so nice that both your parents enjoy helping out and friends as well. Have a wonderful week and hopefully we will see you again soon. Thanks for sharing.🇺🇸

[@seanmadden3620]

I adore Turin and haven't been for years. So lovely to have that glimpse of the city

[@sometimeswrite239]

I love how methodical you are, moving from task to task. And no messy job site. Oh and that kitten is fearless!

[@terencemitchao]

this is next level renovation vlog... those drone shots are breath taking

[@gozoalex7913]

😂 Pelliccia and Isis watching the frog movie together!! Too funny. She will be up and down, in and out all sort of things soon (the cat...). She looks adventurous and very clever. And she has got the most beautiful eyes. 😍

[@Erin_Wilson_Studios]

You consistently make the most dreamy footage, no matter the task. ❤

[@elizabethfairlie8296]

Always wonderful. Thank you both.

[@lidanaude8022]

Great video! Lovely to see the cat so comfy and happy! This one is a climber for sure! A treehouse would be so cute! ❤

[@neutonrenda2303]

That arched hockey stick would make a beautiful standing lamp or outdoor lantern stand. 😂👍

[@brunabuffanti3873]

E’ proprio adorabile Pelliccia. Voglio dirvi che i vostri video sono sempre bellissimi. C’è sempre uno stile inconfondibile nel modo di realizzarli, ci trovo tanta passione, bellezza e soprattutto tanta poesia. Un grazie particolare per amare ❤️ l’Italia anche nelle sue pecche. Un caro saluto dalla Romagna.

[@lagringa7518]

At least Pelliccia will know that this is a loving family... e che questa e' casa sua. 😻💝

[@susanhayirli8474]

Your cat is so interested in everything and she is so beautiful

[@neutonrenda2303]

Lol, she wasn't done exploring, she definitely looks like you are going to be having a lot of fun with her antics.❤️

[@kathrynjohnson9926]

The look on your face when the cat ran back up the stairs was priceless. Cats play by their own rules but they are lovely creatures. They can wander away because that is in their nature so keep her close outside.

[@diannacatesdunn]

Nice to see you have a cat with cultured taste! What beauty surrounds you and your new life. The farm is blessed to have you two.

[@paulinewilson613]

Your dear little kitten is really settling in and obviously loves people. You're doing really well with all the things you are tackling, the windows look amazing, well done both of you, it must be lovely to have watertight solid windows again. I am interested to see how the propogating of roses goes, I too have seen them propogated into potatoes, can't wait to see if they take as I'd like to give it a try too. It's lovely to have your parents there helping and the visit to Turin looks like it was a lovely day.

[@rosemaryjasper1121]

Great video again this week! Not sure who’s enjoying the cat experience the most! Certainly the cat is being spoilt, cuddles and tv at her pawtips! Things are coming along at a steady pace, slow and steady as they say wins the race! The windows are looking amazing, all that hardwork is showing in the end product everything beautifully restored. Have a good week, hopefully somewhat dryer than most of us around Europe have had this past week.❤

[@kimmcinnis4199]

I find your videos calm, heartwarming and just delightful. Blessings.

[@lindamitman4538]

The sweet little kitten is such a treat. I love her sleeping in Bertus jacket. The fog over the valleys in that part of Italy is really something. Reminds me of the fog that rolls in over San Francisco. I’m amazed at the amount of wood that you are finding in the attics of all these buildings. The previous owners seemed to have a similar ‘waste not, want not’ philosophy. Looking forward to seeing the new green color paint on the pine. It is a very pretty color.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Love hearing the birds singing the song that God gave them to sing.

[@michaelehrlich1952]

I just love your work you both are artisans. I always look forward to your wonderful videos. 😎

[@maureenrose191]

With the kitty the restoration schedule will need to be extended 🤣🤣 very cute kitty

[@agoed65]

I enjoy your videos sooo much! Thank you for sharing and for taking us along on your wonderfull journey. ❤🍀🦋

[@melissaeden1219]

Pellicia is adorable, and has definitely got a wonderful full home with you two.

[@SerendipitySharon]

So sweet to see the pair of you fall in love with the kitty. Love to have a tour of that tower in that village if you ever get around to it. You are going to be so much warmer and more comfortable than last winter. Notice your mom types one finger on her phone, just like me!!

[@justlife765]

The potting shed is adorable! Good luck with the cuttings! Also, I really enjoyed seeing Turin and all the flowers they had available at their market! Thank you for taking the time to share your journey with us! Your videos are so calming and relaxing to watch!💕

[@cbrashsorensen]

Sunday morning "church" in Italy at the cascina. This is always a meditative and learning experience--the paint choice, the tile repair, the finishing of the windows, time with the cat, growing roses...and a visit to beautiful Turin.

[@danielreebs544]

One of my favorite videos I fallow.

[@tishrourke]

❤I love your videos, and I love the new tiger kitty she’s adorable!😘😘😘

[@phammond8155]

Great job guys! Very cute kitty, hope she stays close to home.

[@giovannagallottini]

I love how Bertus does not get dressed up to go to Turin. My kind of guy!

[@Reet64]

Pelliccia is adorable.

[@barbarakloise6790]

You guys are so organized and I love that. Everything is ship shape there! Both hard worker too. That place is gonna be fabulous eventually!

[@MsAgatha1Eta]

That's some cat you have there! 🐈 😻

[@npete55]

What a sweet kitty you have.. I think she has found a very good home.😊❤

[@MimiPet]

Pelliccia is so sweet, she is already your cat! ❤ Don't worry to leave her outside, she needs this, then she will return when she is hungry or for the night, and when it is raining outside as now, cats likes to stay home and make casini! 😅

[@poodlegirl55]

Aww the perfect kitty for you two. Adorable.

[@tishrourke]

The kitty loves grandma too!❤

[@marykimberlyhayes]

Always a joy watching the progress. If by chance you were not a video editor prior to this project, you could snag a job as one now for sure. I worked in the film industry 20 years making natural history & wildlife films and your transitions & cuts are always purposeful & lovely. Bravo!

[@cathryng3849]

Last week I was in Puglia, Italy for my son's wedding. It was fabulous! I know the north of Italy is different, but I can see why you love it there. I played with a kitten there, too, like Bertus.

[@barbarakloise6790]

Your kitten is a friendly baby and ❤ cute!! Love the plant market. Great bulb prices! Architecture is gorgeous!❤

[@damdekmyhomeដំដែកផ្ទះខ្ញុំ]

[@baylaschauer3122]

Oh my! Those flowers were so beautiful!

[@ceciliadelgado6899]

The kitty is a lovely addition to your family!

[@alisonleary8996]

Greetings from the other side of the world, Melbourne Australia. My envy knows no bounds. Been watching your progress since your channel began. Your property is like my own dream so I have been so inspired by you both. I look forward to your updates so much. Keep up the amazing work.

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

Thank again for sharing your journey. Kitty is absolutely adorable! The wood you found stored away is wonderful, nice find and your windows look fabulous, good job! Are you two familiar with Martijn Doolaard? He is located south of Turin and up in the mountains restoring two old stone buildings. And occasionally drives in to Turin, though it’s not necessarily close to him. Also he is originally from the Netherlands. I find his work is excellent and cinematography top notch. Very creative man, like you two, love it. His videos are worthy of short documentary awards, he loves film making. Maybe you are aware of him but if not- you may enjoy his offerings. Off grid living with shepards roaming the mountains in summer, the sound of cow bells 🙂

[@gabri2734]

La gattina è troppo dolce, oltre che bellissima ❤

[@darbylongoria8737]

Refreshing video. We can only watch so much of moving things from one place to the other.

[@MerelGeurtse]

Prachtig de mist/wolken in het dal. De herfst is daar. Poes is super schattig

[@frannypeony2076]

Antique green ! Pelliccia ! Torino ! Peony ! Fog ! 💞💓💗

[@oliviertouraine4342]

I really appreciate the slow path of your work. Impressive achievement before winter!

[@paulettejabbar5661]

Adorable

[@neutonrenda2303]

I wait to see how the rose cutting work out 👍

[@tavenchristensen3157]

LOVE the paint colour you chose!! It has a slight grey to the soft green. - It’s going to look SO good with the stone work too‼️ - It will blend in beautifully with the trees etc. ✔️GOOD CHOICE.

[@SilviaAxisa-rn1gn]

Your cat is lovely,do you still look out for the ginger cat,and love you showing the tumbling clouds over the mountains and valleys, you are so lucky.x

[@lorassorkin]

Another lovely video! I might suggest using a root stimulator to propagate the roses. Most roses these days are grafted onto a root stock to be stronger, but older roses should, in theory, propagate easier. Best of luck!

[@_PJW_]

26:00 : if you coarsely crush those tiles they are perfect for hardening a path or covering soil around plants.

[@borbolettaazul]

We planted yesterday Blackberry, Johannisbeeren, Kiwi, and Frambiosa... In my Neighbors garden is growing a Figtree with delicious fruits on it. I colected 5kg Cherrytomatos out of my Glashouse. 😊

[@heatherlaird-mcleod3271]

Your Kitty has beautiful markings. My cat has been an inside city cat for 8 yrs. Recently, we moved to the country & slowly she explores outside for short periods. The law in Australia does not allow cats out after dark unless they have a cat run. (E.g. in a caged cat run). She gets frightened & runs back inside by herself, which is what your kitty will do as time goes by. Love all the paint colour testing, There is a lot to be done before deciding the best approach. Good Luck 🦘🦘🦘

[@mrmarcocecchi74]

19:44 Oh, I see you have a new house owner! ;-)

[@susanhoover7925]

You are mesmerizing to watch. You work great as a team. Such a thrill to watch you both. Can’t wait for the finale! Thanks for posting your beautiful farm. Watching you from Montana. Susan

Hi from Australia, I've been told that honey is good also.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

I've used a paste of honey mixed with ground cinnamon, it works beautifully.

[@carolined3058]

You really can salvage a lot of material in the house. Nice old wood , curious what you are going to do with it in the future.

[@KymHammond]

Two hundred-year-old pieces of timber stashed away and forgotten-what a discovery! I hope you find something truly memorable to create from all of it. I’m sure, for a timber artisan, it would be well treasured. The same goes for that plough and the 'hockey stick' yoke, which must surely be part of the farm's provenance and is undoubtedly so museum-worthy. I keep thinking about all the farm equipment that was removed so you could start the house’s new life and how vital and purpose-specific it all was for making the farm operate successfully. Only the house itself, along with its many parts stacked in the great sheds and buildings for repurposing into its restoration now remains, revealing itself as the material and spiritual anchor-like a Giorgio de Chirico structure-as the good faith of that ancient business and of the lives and well-being of the generations of families that lived, laughed, loved and once farmed there. Two hundred years ago, the rural landscapes near Turin I’m told were adorned with riots of colours, as fields of wildflowers painted the hillsides and kitchen gardens blossomed with life. I’m told in those days, flowers were not merely decorative; they were woven into the fabric of daily life, symbolizing both beauty and connection to the earth. The sweet scent of blooming violets and the vibrant hues of poppies and sunflowers would have filled the air, echoing the rhythms of nature and the heartfelt labor of the farmers tending to their land. The floral displays celebrated the changing seasons and marked the milestones of life, from joyous festivals to solemn gatherings. In every petal and leaf, in every tree and field, there lies a rich tapestry of stories and emotions, connecting generations to the land they cherished and to one another. How dearly I’m sure that your old farm would have been loved and cherished! Its many residents from different generations who along with it grew old there , and who, like the house, would have hung on to the very end, to remain within its familiar spaces, and who are now, I’m sure, the smiles imprinted in the clear blue skies and drifting clouds that come to keep you company so regually, along with that angelic light of those majestic sunsets. If you look up as you sit there in the hot evening, because its such a romaticlly peaceful place, can you see a glimpse of heaven, for I am sure you must. Best

[@lapsedluddite3381]

[@jesussaves8155]

Consider putting an Airtag tracker on Pelliccia's collar when she's allowed to roam freely on your estate. It will alleviate your concerns when or if she ends up climbing to the top of a tree or decides to take an overnight adventure. BTW, over ripe bananas & peels are excellent food to grow roses. I lived in So. Calif where the annual Rose Parade is celebrated so they know about growing roses. Bury the bananas into the soil at base of the plants. I Googled making homemade root hormone for your cuttings & best results: 1. Add 2 US tbsp (30 mL) of raw honey to 2 cups (470 mL) of freshly boiled water, then wait for it to cool. Soak your cuttings for 2-3 hours, then plant. 2. OR mash up the gel from an aloe vera leaf until it forms a runny consistency. Coat the ends of your cuttings in the gel, then plant. 3. Alternatively, crush an uncoated 325 mg aspirin pill and dissolve the powder in 1 cup (240 mL) of distilled water. Soak the cuttings for 2-3 hours, then plant.

How funny, my kitten was just watching your kitten playing ❤ Charlie loves KZbin

[@dougstuart8553]

Yeah, more roses!

[@thomas-gk9jp]

Goedemorgen, another use of the potato could be to remove the excess of windows joint, the starch in them helps to slide and to make a nice joint :) (if you carve the potato a bit before). Thank you for all

[@Rinahugo]

Consider using a plastic 1 litter soda bottle to root your rose stems. Cut the bottle in half and drill holes in the bottom for drainage. Place soil and cutting in the bottom and cover with the top. Do not place in direct sunlight and cook. If you don't cover the cutting in the beginning, the stem will dry out before roots are formed.

[@EG-bz1ig]

Love your videos!! Turijn was mijn allereerste stad die ik bezocht in Italië, ik was toen 17. Ooit wil ik er terug naartoe, want op mijn 17e had ik weinig oog voor de mooie architectuur... haha. Zo knap hoe de poes op ontdekking gaat buiten onder het wakend oog van Bertus. En hoe ze die deur opklimt, alsof het niets is. En hoe ze meereist op de schouders van Bertus en dan terug naar boven schiet! De videos zijn zo rustgevend, dankjewel!

[@sharlettedavidson81]

Thank you 😊

[@dianelenz7846]

I am loving your style of documenting! Not always necessary to jabber through the whole process! Lol! Lovely drone views for sure. A caulking tip...move just a bit faster and there won't be any little bumps to smooth out. My whole house must be held together with caulk, I have done so much!

[@susanB24F]

I love roses too! I'm going to try your way with the potato!

[@barbarakloise6790]

Try some rooting powder also. Spurs new roots faster! You are like me grow your own and propagate.

[@jenniestevens1244]

Beautiful scenery in your filming, the aerial shots are amazing 😊

[@Annemarieke58]

I cut just under a nodule, put them though a growing medium in a compost filled pot. Water it thoroughly , with a plastic sac over it in an sunny frost free spot

[@margomoore4527]

You can also use a process called layering to propagate roses, but I would not try it in fall; May or June might work better. I’m sure you can find that method online as well.
