FINISHING our ITALIAN KITCHEN. LIVING in ITALY and DIY Renovation. BUDGET RENOVATION. ITALY Vlog

Hi guys, welcome back to the channel and thank you for tunning in.
On the previous episode we started the renovation of our kitchen, which has taken months.
This level of the house is an interesting one, because it has the kitchen, dining, main bathroom and balcony, so there is always a lot going on here.
It is probably the area of the house that gets used the most, and a lot of things had to come together to be able to finish it. The furniture, the gas Conexion, marble benches, a new tap and sink, light fixtures, and deciding whether we wanted or could use the existing fireplace.
We hope we will get the gas connected soon, as well as get the wooden heater delivery.
Let's get this kitchen finished!

Your kitchen is beautiful! You are lucky to have such a handy husband.

[@rossinniandco]

I am ☺️thanks

[@Subgunman]

That small flexible pipe arranged to the right hand sink should be on the left hand sink. There is an overflow hole on the left side. There should have been some hardware and gasket to fasten it to this overflow port. Everything looks fantastic! . In 2096 we moved into our "unfinished" home and settled in the basement while finishing the house which is still missing kitchen cabinets and doors in the main residence. They have what is called construction electric which allows you two years to get the home finished. They were not enforcing the two year rule until about a year after the economic crisis hit. It’s quite interesting that Italy has some of the best tiles available followed by Spain.

[@ime7918]

Many congratulations! You have made this a truly beautiful home, I love the new lamp. I am very impressed that you two are very handy, knowing how to change the sink, with the disposer, the cabinets, the painting etc. I love the wood stove. You guys look like you're having a lot of fun. Keep it up!

[@hmuench64]

That looks really great! Your building a dream home!

[@GoogleAccount-hz2co]

It appears that in Italy, everything takes much longer than the United States, it makes you wonder why. You did a nice job with the kitchen.

[@rossinniandco]

Hi GA. I think in these small towns there is a huge shortage of tradesmen because all the young people want to go to the big cities and do uni 🤷‍♀️

[@janetforbes8628]

Wonderful. You're place is perfact, so nice. I'm sure you have tryed your wood stove.... That will cook you right out of the house! We have one in our basement and it heats the entire house.

[@detrapayne61]

Very nice kitchen, looks very beautifully Italian. I love your renovation.

[@karenstorch9285]

Love your new kitchen/diner! Although updated and to your modern specification, it still retains an air of traditional which is lovely. Well done.it is fortunate that Aden is so practically minded and good at DIY.

[@rossinniandco]

Hi Karen, thanks for your comment. It certainly helps to have someone who likes figuring things out like Aden 😉

[@dotwillcoxson5352]

Your kitchen is beautiful. Well done!

[@christinehedary1491]

You guys did a great job, I love watching your progress, it's looking so cozy , and congratulations for the gas, you can finally start cooking and baking. I love that you will use the other sink somewhere else in the house. Oh and I love the Terrazzo floors. I have to redo one of my bathroom since I moved in my 95 year old dad with me and I am thinking to use Terrazzo on the floor and the walls if I can get a good price here locally in Texas, otherwise, I am going to use marble look porcelain. The Terrazzo for floor plus the walls is like a new thing.

[@rossinniandco]

Thanks Christine. I am sure your house will look beautiful, there is so much choice these days 🤗☀️

Thank you Rajesh. It is indeed ☀️

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

You’ve probably worked it out but the flexible hose is for the overflow hole in the 2nd bowl of the sink. We are currently doing a full renovation on our home in australia and thankfully we had a great plumber to fit our sink, dishwasher and hose connections for water in refrigerator, one of the only trades we hire out as it was less stressful. The rest we’ve done ourselves, nice job ❤

[@rossinniandco]

Thanks guys. Yes Aden ended up working it out 😉. Do you have long to go with your renovation? Thank you for watching

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

@@rossinniandco just finishing extension for 3rd bedroom and study as we knocked through the 3rd bedroom to make a better kitchen & living space, we have laundry and 2 bathrooms to go after that. We work around our day jobs and my husband works away a lot so it’s taken a long time.

[@rossinniandco]

@@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum Oh wow! That's great training if you ever wanted to renovate here 🇮🇹🤗

@@rossinniandco I don’t think hubby would want to move country which is a pity, I see so many run down homes with great potential.

[@g.f.-w.9130]

Please explain why you didn't use the existing recess for your woodstove

[@rossinniandco]

Hi. Stoves were in high demand and there weren't many shapes and models available last year and we couldn't find one that would fit in that space

[@kathleenferguson7537]

Homely

[@pamjacobson6236]

A plumber to install the stove?

[@rossinniandco]

Not to install the stove. To make the gas connection from outside

[@Pete-rs4yz]

Is that a propane stove you waited six months to get hooked up? 14:32 In the U.S. I do that myself to a gas grill in 15 minutes.

[@rossinniandco]

Hi Pete. We waited 6 months to get the natural gas connected into our house. The propane bottle you see at that point is what we used before we were connected to the main gas network

[@Pete-rs4yz]

@@rossinniandco Then why not install gas heat? Much cleaner and easier than firewood or pellets.

[@rossinniandco]

@@Pete-rs4yz By gas heat do you mean Termocifone/Termocamino?

[@love-dx8lp]

Hi, can I ask you if this property you own has a maintenance fee each month. Since you have been living in Italy, can you give me your opinion on where the location is similar to Molise but close distance to Rome. Thanks.

[@rossinniandco]

Hi love#007. Do you mean, like a body corporate fee? If that is what you mean, we don't pay that as it is a house and not an apartment within a building. Regarding your second question, how close to Rome would you want/have to be and would you prefer to be ose to beach or mountains?

[@love-dx8lp]

Thank you for your reply. I would like to be close at least 45mins from FCO Airport when I fly in. Do you recommend any historic center that is also within distance to Rome.

[@rossinniandco]

@@love-dx8lp There is so much choice depending on the budget. From the centre of Rome to Fiumicino is already 40-45min without traffic, so if you wish to stick to that distance/timeframe I expect you would need to pay quite a bit. Tivoli is very pretty (about 55min from Fiumicino without traffic) and it still belongs to the Metropolitan area of Rome. Aprilia is about 55min away without traffic and it's close to the freeway. It is part of the province of Latina. You may be able to get more for your money, around Carsoli in the province of L'Aquila in Abruzzo, which is about 1hr 10min away. I would recommend you to check this video out and use the apps we mention, that way you can draw an area and see what is available and at what prices. 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fabYhqmEi62Jmac Hope this helps 😀

Dog wants to go home w you and play in your backyard

[@AD12396]

Thank you for sharing. However, the faucet is much too tall on the sink, the door under the sink is terrible and I am sure you can get one from IKEA. The light fixture is just not right for that old kitchen. I honestly would have stripped it down and reposition everything in that room.

[@rossinniandco]

But really, tell me what you think 🤣🤣
