We are Heather, Bradey, Alexa and Chloe. We purchased an abandoned stone barn in the foothills of the Italian Alps and we are working together as a family to renovate and restore this old stone barn into our dream home.

White always makes a space feel large. Black or dark shrinks a space. So white or light floors and walls wherever it fits in. Of course, you want the natural wood and stone as much as possible, but don't shrink your rooms with too much dark. A nice balance of stone, wood, metal, and glass in light and dark will make the perfect home. Especially on that perfectly natural lot and setting. On your deck, try to use a metal cable horizontally placed. Your view will be so perfect. That's how we do it here in Florida on our Gulf properties. You see right through it and preserve your view. Hopefully, Italy codes will allow you to do this. I have watched you guys work since the beginning. BRAVO! You're doing an amazing job, and I can't believe the progress you have made. I can't wait to see it when the bathroom goes in. The final touches in the kitchen....so exciting. It will be neat to see it in a time lapse from beginning to end. It's going to be the perfect haven in that gorgeous natural setting. Saving history is so important. There is nothing worse than historic lots with a new structure. Italy is lucky to have you guys there to preserve this old barn. Your girls are lucky kids to have parents like you two. Keep up the good work. You're doing an amazing job! All the best, Cheryl😊

Strawberries are called strawberries because they winter over covered in straw. They are perennials and grow and spread year after year. You don’t have to replant them every year. Place straw between the rows and around the plant! You will have them for years to come
@johnfranks9271
@johnfranks9271 Ай бұрын
The primary use of the straw was to lift the strawberries up out of the soil to keep them clean as they were growing . Strawberries were called strawberries long ago in England where because of the warmer climate straw was not required as a top dressing to over winter the plants.

An Italian architect here, to avoid the drum effect use the double sheet of plasterboard, the bathroom has no windows so you have to choose whether to cover the plasterboard with waterproof mortar such as Mapelastic or use sheets of Aquapanel instead of plasterboard (obviously I mention very available materials Here in Italy)

That wide window sitting area is known as a “window seat” regardless of the width. It is quite common in older mansions in Wisconsin where I’m from, but I’ve also seen them in great houses in England. You will love sitting there reading your favorite books and sipping coffee! I love how you both included your girls in the labor of love in the garden. You give such encouragement to each of them and I’m sure they will cherish these memories forever.

The Old English word for strawberry is streawberige, and in that language 'strew' and 'straw' were both used to mean 'to spread or scatter'. So, the name likely meant a berry that spreads, which perfectly describes its growth habit. Strawberries spread by horizontal stems called stolons
@waynechapel6163

I think the reason they made the window and door headers angled at the top ends is so in case the building ever catches fire and the wood burns it will fall out without taking the wall down. If the ends were square then think what would happen if the middle Was burned out and the two ends fell down to the floor. In Michigan in 1985, I remodeled a building that was built by Ford and Edison 113 years earlier and the 2“ x 12“ oak floor Joice’s were angle cut, and then laid in to the brick walls that way, and that’s what the old bricklayers told me. So maybe it applies on your house too.

Talking about culture differences, in Italy (but I'm sure also in the States) you'll find different professionals who work in different ways. Something I CAN tell you about drywall (cartongesso) is that an Italian professional here in the province of Parma once taught me that it should never touch the floor but should be raised a little (you can use a little piece of drywall which you will remove once screwed in) to avoid humidity or even water spills. That area will be covered by the skirting boards anyway. Hope this too helps. Ciao!

In 50 years, I have laid many hundreds of sheets of drywall 4 x 12 & 4 x 8 and ceilings , but on the walls it is always up off the floor about a half inch so you use 2 pieces of drywall and always do the ceilings first so the edges are held up by the drywall on the walls . I prefer screws over nails and here’s one for you if you use nails, have you ever seen a professional sheet rocker put two nails about an inch and a half apart and then two more and then two more and then two more but on the edges one nail . Well ,I ask 20 sheet rockers. Why do you do this, and finally, one of them said, and by the way, he was 78 years old and been rocking all his life and he said the first nail sucks it up to the wood ,stud , rafter ,whatever , but in doing so it fractures the sheet rock somewhat from the hammer blows, the second nail holes it there so 1 sucks it up, and the second nail hold it there. You’ll do these two patterns on a 4 foot run in the middle and then 2 - 2 pattern nails between the edge and the center, and the other side between edge and Center so across 4 feet it would be five set of two and one on each edge. If you use screws and the screw head brakes through the paper on the drywall, then take it out and put it back in about 1/12” from the hole not breaking through the paper. and then take a putty knife or pocket knife and tear the paper out around the hole about the size of a dime or a little less so the paper is tapered. I’ll say from the backside of the paper to the surface of the paper, if that makes sense that way when you mud the hole, it won’t pop out as a plug later with the house, cooling and heating and moving.

To add to all the other comments about strawberries which are all correct. the straw also gets the fruit away from the soil cutting down on fungal spores splashing onto the fruit when it rains, also it acts as insulation from the sun which does cook the strawberry's roots & help prevent moisture loss .

A full-size gardening fork would have made a much faster job of digging over that garden. Teach Chloe to knock the soil off the clumps of weed against the fork prongs before tossing the weeds. Strawberries like to be well fed. If you heat your used eggshells for 10 mins at about 150 degrees C, then crush them well and sprinkle around your strawberries, they will discourage the snails and help the worms. You can soak the weeds in water until they rot to make a weed-tea to use as fertilizer. Use the previous year's strawberry runners as your new plants.

It's not just an Italy vs America dilemma... I learned from a head carpenter at one of the casino's in Atlantic City... and then I went to help my brother in law... son of a general contractor in southern Delaware.... and the differences between the methods THEY used taught me this lesson very early on... there is often more than one way to skin that cat. I learned not to get caught up in stuff like that - life is just too short. I'm more than happy to learn from other peoples' mistakes... because despite how hard I might try, I couldn't possibly make ALL the mistakes myself.

You have beautiful wooden beamed ceilings and lintels. You're right the barn has become a home, and the deck outside your bedroom does have a gorgeous view. Look forward to seeing the completed home construction.

On the deep windows... it might be nice to have all the stone still visible with a backlight from window frame back side.. dimmable of course 🙂
