#25 The facts on our insulation efforts & bathroom makeover - Renovating an Italian farm

Thank you for joining us on our renovation adventure! In the summer of 2023 we moved into a dilapidated farmhouse in a tiny village in the northwest of Italy. The last inhabitants left 10 years ago, but large parts of the property have been empty for over 20 years.
The past two weeks we've continued with making small insulation improvements, getting into the nitty gritty facts and measuring the impact, and started with our long-term temporary bathroom make-over.

A little trick I learnt, was to use a large nail and poke holes in the rim of the paint can. When cleaning excess paint from the brush, the paint in the rim or lip goes back in the can and allows the lid to make a better seal when closed.

I love that sage green colour. It’s a colour we choose for some exterior parts of our last home. It does immediately make the bathroom darker though. It’s a hard colour in such a small space. Did you use the TopDon on the radiator before and after you painted it? You might be surprised how a few layers of paint can affect the transmission of energy from it. Nice repurposing off the ladder. Spring comes so early there. You are blessed.

In uk at a previous house we used the bubble wrap on the windows. We however, sprayed the window with soap water then pressed the bubble wrap on to the glass. Smooth it out, the idea is to stick the wrap to the window as flatly as possible, no air pockets. The soapy water provides the seal. It works remarkably well. Certainly made a major difference to our heating bill when we found the trick! It’s nice to see you both back! Onwards and upwards as they say, hopefully you’re both well on the mend. Looking forward to the next episode. ❤

4:55 : it sure is a nifty little tool. But did you miss what it showed you? It showed some significant cold air leaks due to windows not closing tightly. But also several air leaks under the windowsills. Those air leaks are quite different from the cold transfer through the window pane. The first will feel like a draught, the latter like cold radiating. So for now you should put up some isolation tape to make the windows close tighter. But also investigate what causes those air leaks under the windowsills. Could be mortar crumbling.

@storiesfromthecascina 6 ай бұрын

the walls are much thinner under the window sills (1/3 or so of the thicknes). we will be insulating there for sure in 2024.

@storiesfromthecascina 6 ай бұрын

that and the gaps around the windows were closed off with newspaper instead of insulating foam back when they were installed. the big air leak on the tall window is because that window frame is warped (it's nearly a 1cm gap). with old stone houses like ours proper ventilation is also super important to prevent moisture buildup, so we've decided to leave it for now. saves us from having to open the windows every morning in this room 🙃😅

Bubble-rap. Please try using 2 sheets of bubble-rap, but when & if you do. The bubble-rap has 2 sides, 1 side is flat & the other has the bubbles. To get the best results, sheet 1 must have the flat side against the window, sheet 2's bubbles must face the other sheet's bubbles i.e. sheet 2 must have the flat side facing the room. What is happening is that where the bubbles are that is what helps prevent the cold coming in. Now test to see if there is any difference. Should you not want to try this & only want to use 1 sheet make sure that the flat side faces the room. what is happening is that there is more air trapped. With the bubbles facing the room only the air in the bubble is preventing the cold coming into the room.

I must tell you that I took your bubble wrap idea and used it inside my lean-to greenhouse. The greenhouse is attached to our brick wall that was very cold so I used bubble wrap, medium sized bubbles, to cover the brick and it was amazing the difference the bubble wrap made. I did not have a radiant-heat-measurer-thingie but the bubble wrap stopped the cold transference from the brick into the greenhouse. So wow, and thank you for such a useful hack! Love the "Stay Curious" plate, good advise for us all.

@storiesfromthecascina 6 ай бұрын

Mixed feelings! I like the result, but to me it doesn't really resemble lime-wash. The baking soda does make the paint beautifully ultra-matte, so if that’s a look you’re going for this really helps to achieve that. I’ve seen this done by others where the lime-wash look was more obvious, and I think maybe the paint I’ve been using was just a little too thick and opaque. It was a 'total cover in 1 layer' type of paint.

Des études ont noté que les couleurs ont un impact sur notre cerveau. Par exemple, les tons orangés réveillent l’énergie le matin et donnent bonne mine dans une salle de bain😊 La texture sur les murs donne un bel effet à part ça,❤ mais peut être plutôt un autre espace de vie…Top pour la couleur des radiateurs, celà donne un aspect plus intemporel avec une touche moderne .Quel travail!😮
