Күн бұрынWelcome to this Villa Oliva renovation summary video. In this long-form version of the renovation videos, I try to summarise work over a longer period and show you more of the work aspects of the renovation and less background, explanations and backstory.
Therefore, it might be hard to understand the project fully by only watching these summary videos. Luckily I've added a list of all the full videos at the bottom of this video description, so you can watch an episode of your choosing in more detail. or watch more than one, I am not stopping you.
For the people that are new to the channel, welcome, super glad to have you here! A quick introduction of the channel can be found here:

My name is Sam and together with my girlfriend Lyanne, I am on a quest to restore the beauty of this old Italian villa from 1895. Join us as we have to let go of our Dutch habits to fit in in our Italian surroundings, were the word 'plan' gets redefined and our tastebuds are awakened.
The goal of this project is to show that with limited financial means and a lot of optimism we can resurrect the beauty of this abandoned villa in a green and sustainable way. But most of all learn from everything that we encounter and enjoy it whilst we're at it.

I have done several house clean outs - remodles. It was painful to watch you move the trash by hand to the wheelbarrow, haul it to a diff spot, dump on floor, thus make another pile of garbage...🤔 I use a 30 gal. plastic garbage can, put a large black heavy duty construction trash bag in the can, pick up the trash, put it in the can, fill bag, pull out bag, tie it shut, haul bag to the curb or a dumpster. repeat.. i only handle that crap once, where it is, then it goes out! Anyway, cool looking house, good luck to you & ur Dad! 😎

A lot of work, but very impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing all that ivy outside the Villa façade, to see what it really looks like. Ivy tends to be very invasive with stone, it gets into the cracks and crevices and takes over, do you think you will have much to fix on the building, or on the contrary, will you leave the ivy on the walls? I can't wait to see what your Villa will finally look like.😍👏👏👏👏

A. You guys really should be wearing at least SOME PPE’s, masks at the least! I believe Hanta virus spread by rodents has been found in Italy, to say nothing of the mold. When I renovated the loft, we discovered asbestos and Black mold. Rather than drag the old carpet and junk through clean areas, we threw everything, including a very old recliner (1948 was on the tag), out the windows-3rd floor. It was quite a show here in my tiny town, but we didn’t have many other options. We were finally able to convince our next door neighbors to allow us to put a large garbage bin in their parking lot for just a few days. We didn’t get much sleep, and it wasn’t cheap-but it was worth EVERY penny!

Hello from Arizona. New subscriber here, it's a pleasure to watch you and your father work together. The building is wonderful, I think the first look at the window doors, and I fell down the rabbit hole that is Villa Oliva. Wishing you both a Happy New Year, may it bring you both success in every project you undertake, good health and sturdy bones and muscles, happiness and prosperity. May I have one request, a neighbor planted a container in their drive. It's unsightly, I'm over looking at the signs, numbers, rust etc. Could you please refinish & paint your container for your neighborhood? Maybe a young artist might want to use it for a garden green mural. Thank You Ha, I don't know my neighbor well enough to ask them myself.
