All the hard hot lonely days, to have your daughters there sharing it with you makes it worth it.

[@albertobignardi5458]

As a father I know how much love you can feel for your children and believe me Richard you really moved me, how beautiful it was with your daughters here in Italy I hope they had fun, bye

[@oov55]

agreed - i got a bit emotional tbf - we all know about those kids+Dad moments...

[@randygulleyjr2180]

So, happy to see you and your daughters having a wonderful time together. Dad and children's relationships are worth sleeping outside under the stars every night. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the amazing work on your home.

Thank you @albertobignardi5458 we had a great few days.

Awww, you have a beautiful family. Your girls are so lovely. It was beautiful watching your tenderness with them.

[@Grisby-g1q]

I think it is really healthy that your children get to experience 1st hand what physical challenges are involved in your life in Italy, and also the way of life there..... very positive video, thanks for sharing.

[@threeacresofmarche]

Thanks @Grisby-g1q .

The start of many years of memorable holidays together!!

Hi,Richard..must say that the girls are just beautiful 😍 and seems the beach days were a lot of fun..& Rome wow 🤩 & the bedroom with stars 🤩 serene the large glass window looks amazing..took 7 attempts?

It was a great week. 4 attempts...but it took quite a while!😁

[@NancysBungalowLife]

Your daughters are beauties! How wonderful that you got to share your love of Italy with them, plus you got some help with that huge new window.

[@MrPooties]

Rick you figured it all about parking in Italy: white is free, blue you have to pay, yellow is just for residents of the town. There's nothing else. Also great job on the window. Didn't I tell you before? ❤

[@threeacresofmarche]

Thanks @MrPooties - thanks for explaining the yellow. 👍

[@AhaAha-n4g]

Richard, what a perfect mix of everything you can do with your children. Work together, hang out, sunbathe and swim in the sea or just take it easy and hang out. As we always said, your small balcony is a perfect building/bedroom👍. The window will be perfect and what a nice view it will be. I have four sons and they asked me to say that your daughters seems very nice! My youngest son told me that your youngest daughter was super pretty. Fight on in paradise and we await your next Vlog. Best regards from us in Sweden🇸🇪

[@threeacresofmarche]

😂 thank you. I will pass on the compliments.

[@neutonrenda2303]

On my first holiday to Italy I decided to have a haircut and it was quite an experience. Apart from the language problem I had two older men fighting over who understood what I wanted, but it turned out to be the best cut I've ever had, to this day 😂👍

[@threeacresofmarche]

I did have to show an old photo of me to show. I was worried I would come out with tramlines!😂

[@peterborchers410]

Your daughters will have a nice holiday home one day, Richard. That's worth a bit of slave labour 😉 Glad you had help this time.

[@threeacresofmarche]

Thats the plan @peterborchers410 . A home that we all can enjoy for many years to come.😊

When you spoke about your children earlier, for some reason I imagined children of about ten years old. It was a surprise to see two grown-up girls)

[@davidlanders2853]

These are the moments you both will remember, working together is an amazing opportunity. Well done both of you. I know this is going to sound kind of preachy, but building something with your child, builds the child as much as the parent. Well done. But I think you already know this......

[@laurarigby2439]

Really enjoyed this video! Lovely seeing you with your lovely daughters! and I especially like hearing the lovely Mancunion accent and mannerisms

[@Miriam-id5nt]

That's a soft watered-down Welsh accent, with a layer of Manchester perhaps, but you've only got to listen to people like Oasis pop group, to hear what indigenous Mancunian sounds like

[@threeacresofmarche]

[@claudia_ese8788]

evidently you had a good time together. Great selfie shots. Cool dad who comments on a mosquito bite „you’ll survive“, cool daughter not to scream and let the brand new window fall down. Seems like for any parent who wants to stay in good contact with teenage kids, it’s a good idea to buy a house in 🇮🇹. 😂

I'm thinking of your daughters swimming in the sea how beautiful an experience that was for them! That memory will be with them for the rest of their lives. When i was 12 my mom dragged me to Europe to meet her family and I truly did not appreciate it. However the memory that is strongest for me (50- some years later) is that of swimming in the warm Adriatic and how beautiful it was. What a wonderful thing to have your daughters with you and exposing them to travel and different environments. They are such lovely young ladies! Kudos to you for having them share in your adventure and your lifestyle!

Hi Richard! I'm a little behind on commenting on your videos, but still waiting for them every week and watching!!Thank you for introducing us to your daughters...they are so cute! This is an awesome video and it looks like more fun than work was had...which is what you needed I'm sure! I bet it was fun showing them around and just hanging out. I'm always a little sad when my kids leave to get back to their own lives. I only get to see one of my 3 on a daily basis (my middle son). My daughter lives 2hr away (and I work FT, so not much time to go there), and my youngest son lives in Ohio... 2800 miles away from me in Ventura, California. The new window really looks great! And the reflection! Wow!

Sitting here on a Sunday evening with my obligatory red wine, looks like you had a great time with the kids and probably enjoyed the camping out under the stars more than you're admitting Richard But I also think the enjoyable plastering process is also down to the slower pace of life you're living and just enjoying the whole experience.

Hey mate, great content as always. I had an idea if you're putting in more of those windows. Maybe worth making a light wooden frame to the exact dimensions of the new window. Then you can insert the wooden thing as a test to make sure it fits? Save the heavy lifting etc ; ) All the best mate.

Do the little wooden bits under the window stay there and get sealed in with mortar or expanding foam or something? Just realised I had no idea how windows actually fit in place. Also, lovely seeing you with the kids. I've got a 3 year old and hope I can show her as good a time as you did for your kids when she is older.

[@threeacresofmarche]

Hi @huwtindall7096 . I used the wood just to get the window in place. Once I fixed the window with screws into to the side and top brick I packed the bottom with plastic shims that won't expand or move. That expanding foam is supposedly enough but as it can get windy here I made sure it was fixed with screws also. 👍
