In this episode we return to our Italian farmhouse renovation project after 5 months away. It was welcome break but now we are happy to be back in Piedmont and continue with our renovation. The list of tasks left to finish the house is a long one, but we have already started ticking them off. We manage to tile and paint a guest bedroom in this episode, as well as carry out some maintenance on our 4000m2 of land.
Thanks for watching!
Our Story:
We sold our apartment in Stockholm, packed up the car and headed for Piemonte. After a couple of months searching for the right house we came across Our Italian Dream House and immediately made an offer. Four weeks later (just three days before Christmas 2021) we signed the contract and had the keys.
It's now early 2024 and we have been renovating this epic house for two years now. We are mortgage free and have a very limited budget so we take on as much of the renovation ourselves as possible - follow us on our journey as we turn an abandoned Italian farmhouse into our dream home.

I think you don‘t realise how unbelievably stressful what you‘ve been doing is. We had our house built and did most of the inside ourselves. I reached a point where I just said: that‘s it for a while, it‘s good enough. The skirting boards are still not on, but I‘m not planning on having guests. You‘re absolutely champions, the level you have achieved.

The work you've done in 2 years is amazing. Stop beating yourself up about not doing it faster. Faster means costly mistakes. Also slowing down and allowing time to know your property helps with you working sympatheticly with the building and land.

You have to remember that neither of you are professionals and given that, you did a fantastic job. It is impressive the skills you have acquired and how much you have transformed the house and property. Try and error is a natural part of life, as we here in Germany say "No master has fallen from heaven yet", which means that every master had to learn his way up from the bottom to the top.

With such a huge project it is very easy to burn out. Taking the break was probably the best thing you could do for yourself and the reno. It's too bad that some of the work has been shoddy, it takes some of the wind out of the sails when it happens. Looking forward to seeing more progress!

Hello! Just want to take the opportunity to say that you are doing a fantastic job and you have really earned some time off in France. Hope you can push on now during the spring and reach your goals. I have followed you for a long time now and you have really been inspiring and made us dare to buy a house abroad and renovate ourselves. Following your journey has shown us that it is possible if you are only willing to work "a little" for it. I think it's good that you choose to be a little more open with your feelings and thoughts here on the channel, I think it will help you get support and energy. Kör hårt nu! Vi kommer fortsätta följa och heja!! 🤗 Vänliga hälsningar Joakim, Carolina och Selma ❤

Hey guys, one more thing, I just clicked on an Italian property channel and the home is in Piemonte. It's at least as big as yours plus has a building next to it that used to be a barn and remodeled, the tile roof is brand new. It's enormous and the total property size seems to be as big as yours. It's in a small town of just under 1000 people. The main home is almost live in ready and is a stunning house. The only difference it's near the main road but has gorgeous tall northern Italy type pines in front. I couldn't believe the price...119.000 Euros and I believe is still available since the video is just 2 weeks old. I think for the trouble and money you're putting into your property you could have a nearly move in ready place for less and 90% of the hassles of remodeling removed. The town it's in is just as stunning, homes seem to be all in new condition.

You're the 3rd foreigners I'm following remodeling in Italy and it's TOUGH , demanding work with plenty of surprises awaiting in these old homes so it's normal.

Will you build some terraces in the garden to take advantage of the space and make gardening more manageable ? Look at Alla’s garden in Orro on Lake Como. Her channel is “Dreaming of a chateau”. She built dry stacked stone walls to add several terraces to the big slope in their garden. Maybe inspirational for you ? Best of luck with the rest of your renovation.

I wish this was the first that I’ve heard this kind of criticism about trades people in Italy. I heard similar stories in my childhood. Since the $1 house program I’ve heard it A LOT. Then I heard it bore from a friend and a family member on different coasts saying the same things. I’ve tried to make since of this. Is it cultural? Are bosses overbearing to their workers? Is it the corruption that I’ve heard exists? I don’t know. I’ve seen stunning workmanship, but it is more the norm to hear home owners complaining.
