I miss you so much guys!! Good job, keep it up!

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Hi Ale, thanks for the message! We just posted a new video, hope you enjoy it 😊

[@brandolero220362]

and it is better to put some band on the joints or sooner or later they'll crack...

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Yes! We did that on the other side of the wall which is exposed 😊

[@wildlife579]

Bravissimi and welcome in Italy

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Grazie! 😁

[@lauriemcpherson5517]

You guys are giving me so many good ideas when we get to this point! Looks amazing 🙂

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

There’s so much you can do with IKEA furniture, it’s amazing what you can achieve with a little bit of creativity. I’m sure you’ll come up with something great for yours 😁

[@carolynkennedy7772]

You guys are making great progress...bravissimo! 😉

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Grazie Carolyn! It definitely feels like good progress and the end of the renovation is so nearly in-sight 😁

[@carolynkennedy7772]

And your views are AMAZE-BALLS!!! 😜

[@GregRogers-t7w]

Wonderful watching your vids from Australia. Tip.....next time you do a wall frame, construct it flat on the floor and then simply raise it

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Thank you! Haha that’s how we have done it before. Unfortunately none of our walls are straight here so it simply wasn’t possible this time 😅

[@John-nb2qm]

Love it, looking great. Really enjoy your videos

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Thanks so much John, really glad that you’re enjoying them! 😁

[@michellecbauer]

You two are amazing! So talented. Every video demonstrates your incredible vision and lovely imagination. Congratulations!

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment Michelle 😊

[@Harpiegirl123]

Did you tape the joints before plaster boarding ?

[@oksanamelnyk9526]

Siete fantastici ❤💪

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Grazie ❤️❤️

[@JoshAarons]

Awesome job guys 🙌🏽

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Thanks Josh! Slowly getting there 😁

[@abbiejoyguabna5320]

What kind of paint are you guys using? Is it some kind of nano paint? And I think you mentioned the color before: black with a shade of green...

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

In Italian it’s called “lavabile” and “traspirante” meaning washable and breathable. The colour is a dark green with NCS code S-7502G 😊 in reality is def more green than what shows on a screen, hehe.

[@frigbychilwether]

HI, great job, but perhaps get a bigger roller for painting walls !

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Good idea! 😅

[@joconnor2717]

Oh yes it will take you twice as long to paint with that small roller.it’s look fantastic

[@chrishaug]

I think you mounted the plaster boards the wrong way out? 😊 Plus you should make shure the osb overlap on studs, it makes it a lot stronger! Other then that good progress!

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Good observations, but there is method to the madness! 😅 There is going to be a bathroom on the the other side of the wall and the plasterboard is hydro-rated board which is why it’s blue - it’s recommended that the blue side face towards the direction of where the water and steam will be located. Overlapping osb on studs definitely more structurally sound, but the wall won’t be bearing any weight and is solely a partition so fingers crossed it will suffice 😊

[@chrishaug]

@@OurItalianDreamHouse hehe ok 😊

[@ronaldpeters8751]

@@OurItalianDreamHouse I really enjoy your videos and I am impressed with how hard you guys work. But.. you absolutely built the wall wrong.

[@lindamounts2193]

Looks very nice but what a shame to lose that big window to a closet.

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

You cant really tell in the video but one window is in the bathroom and one in the "walk through closet".

[@brandolero220362]

seems you put the plasterboard on the wrong side... the paper has to be inside and the chalk outside ... or am I wrong... sorry!

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Haha no you are not. Edward put it like that though for extra protection against humidity from the bathroom 😂

[@jmlane5156]

Looks great, but I worry for your feet in seriously inappropriate footwear whilst building and operating power tools. 😮

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

I know, very risky - but we've still got all 10 toes remaining. For now... 😂

[@vickijohnson8151]

Lol. Lots of work… your dog?? What kind is she ?? Or he?

[@OurItalianDreamHouse]

Haha YES. It seems to be never ending. Our dog, Sir Nicolaus Copernicus (called Ernie), is a Lagotto Romagnolo 😍
