That possibility has definitely crossed our minds :-) Thank youo for watching and commenting!

We love how you worded this "ow the old buildings are responding to care" - poetry :-)

hi rosemary! so glad you found our channel and are enjoying following our adventure ❤️ your support means a lot to us!

Your home is slowly getting more beautiful. So nice to follow the process. Good choice of plants. It will soften the strict stone look.

Love the new plantings. I’m sure you will enjoy them being so close to the kitchen.

We both work on the filming and editing together :-) Usually Isis does most of the filming and Bertus most of the editing, but it varies. Also this part of our life we tackle as a team :-P

We love the church bells too. They are perfectly close and far away enough to enjoy their sound.

Thank you very much, Jenni!

Oh thank you! Thast's so funny, every time I can't think of a word in English, turns out it's exactly the same in Dutch - we call it lamsoor :-)

Thank you! Good to hear we're not the only ones to start planting before we start renovating :-P

Hey tante tine

Thank you very much!

Hi dear Anna! So glad to hear you're enjoying our videos, and yes, it's so nice to have our families over every once in a while :-)

Hi Clifford! We're definitely keeping the rubble for later use :-)

So true!

We rarely drink coffee when it's just us, but when we do the grounds always go to the garden :-)

Thanks for watching and supporting our project, John! It's our pleasure to share the journey.

:-P Dad actually did some gardening too, but we didn't catch that on film.

Thank you Ruth! For watching and taking the time to comment ❤️

Absolutely!

Grazie mille Marina!

Glad it was helpful! You can find it if you google Gaia San Damiano D'Asti. You need to register beforehand by giving them a phone call and sending them your contact details. But that was a really quick process and we could pick up compost the same day. It was a really smelly job, but it was worth it. The same amount of compost would have cost us a lot if we'd have to buy it in bags.

Yes they are! :-P

ah oui on a hâte non plus ! ça va changer tout le look de la maison !

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching :-) We truly appreciate you taking the time to follow our adventure

Ah, good to know it's deer resistant as well! We have a lot of roe deer, they don't usually come that close to the house, but you never know :-)

@@storiesfromthecascina if deer are hungry enough they will eat anything. And little fawns have to try everything to see if they like it or not. The naughty things ate my chrysanthemums and brunneras! They're not supposed to like those either. But I couldn't get mad seeing their little hoof prints in the compost. Little darlin's.

thank you rachel! no new camera, we've been using the same equipment as ever, a combination of Isis' cameras that she used as a wedding photographer over the past years and our phones. But as we're getting better at being prepared and bringen out the "real" cameras and Bertus is getting more confident with using them too, there is less and less phone footage in our videos.

blessings to you and yours too, mary ann!

Thank you Lucia, and welcome to our channel! ❤️

We think and hope so too!

we love them too ❤️

Thank you very much!

We got our antitarlo from amazon. it's this one: www.amazon.it/Antitarlo-Fungicida-Soluzione-LEliminazione-Distruggono/dp/B01302LLEI/ref=asc_df_B01302LLEI/?tag=googshopit-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=194940578877&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17651851308383617388&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1008736&hvtargid=pla-187905509063&th=1 There are much stronger products that are used in furniture conservation/restoration but they also come with health hazards, so we decided to go for this first. It's a but too early to say if it works, but we are seeing no new piles of sawdust under the furniture that we treated except for one spot at the bottom of a wardrobe - but the sawdust might also be falling out because suddenly the piece is being used. We'll give it a second coat just to be sure.

grazie davide! ci riposiamo anche molto :-)

Definitely keeping the horsebox! It's ours, we brought it with us from the Netherlands :-)

Hi Robert! Thanks for letting us know the profound effect of our videos :-) We wish you good health!

Not sure they'd want to encourage travelers on their private property.

Hi Jacky! We talked to our farmer neighbor (who's one of the people doing the snow ploughing in our village) and he told us that to operate it you need a really heavy tractor. While we will be getting a small one in the future we have no intentions of getting a big one. Good thing snow ploughing is taken care of by the municipality.

Maybe! However, no frost in sight for at least the coming two weeks - the night temperatures stay pretty mild varying between 7 and 13 degrees celcius. At least they have been properly rained in today :-)

@@storiesfromthecascina Great!
