  • Things have certainly been going ahead here at the farm! This episode I share with you the pandemonium of building a pool, renovating a rustic kitchen, installing heating in an ancient Tuscan farmhouse and madly preparing the property for the arrival of my best friend, Brian. Hope you enjoy it.

    Oh Kylie, I felt incredibly emotional 💕during this video. I cannot even dare to imagine how difficult must be not only, living in the house during the renovation, the extreme heat, being pregnant, but also carry on filming everything for us, so wonderfully, as only you can do ! 😊 Everyone here in the UK is complaining for the heatwave, which is no were near to your temperatures! I wish I could give you some of the fresh and cool air we have here. 🙏🏻Thank you so much for taking us with you during this part of your life 💕Love, Sil x

      My heart was breaking for her. Hot & pregnant is enough to want to just “veg out” but add in ALL the work of cooking and cleaning with the construction- oh my goodness. Then my heart burst with excitement when I heard best friend Brian was on his way !! Oh what joy!
      I’m so glad the BABY will get to enjoy the pool next summer 😊 ☀️

You're both working so hard with so many renovations happening altogether and in all that scorching heat, no wonder tempers run high at times. When you said you are more in love with your husband than ever, I thought, how wonderful is that, that's what real love feels like. I'm so happy for you both. Have a wonderful time with your best friend Brian and Gareth. xx

I sympathize with what both of you are enduring, remodeling projects can be so very stressful and messy. Can't wait to see the end results it will be beautiful ♥️♥️.

    This is my first comment actually ever on TH-cam! I have been intently watching your adventures on renovating, whilst we were renovating our own place in Umbria getting ready for our July wedding with 60+ guests. Very stressful and enjoyable at the same time. We don’t speak Italian and renovated our property through photos as most of our renovation was during COVID and lockdown periods which brought its own challenges. We are now married, renovation complete and swimming pool in - our guests were blown away by the Umbrian beauty and high quality workmanship through out. One thing we learn’t, as you well know, Italians will finish on Italian time and no event or strong words will change that. But that’s why we bought here in Italy, the relaxed people and lifestyle…. End result so overwhelming happy with our new home and life. You will both be great parents btw

The heat is unbelievable and I am not looking forward to getting some of the same in the next few days over here in the UK. I am so delighted that you are finally going to be reunited with Brian. Really impressed with all the work going on. You and Guido deserve a medal for all the hassle. I bet you are going to really appreciate the heating and the air conditioning. Hope you can stay as cool as possible in the meantime! Thanks for always delivering such beautiful films.

LOL I just love watching your journey and love to see the progress of all of your renovations. In addition to the renovations we love seeing beautiful Tuscany. We love Italy and travel there when we can. Tuscany is in our plans for next year. This past May we did Rome, Venice and Sicily. It was wonderful as always. Looking forward to your progress and also your soon to be new arrival. Thank you again, your show really brings us joy!

I just remembered that. So happy for your joy. You'll remember these heavenly horrible days of building your home while pregnant with your first bebe, with ultimately, pure reverence - I think. 🌺

    Talk about MULTi TASKING! I know that there was a time in my life when I was able to do it but not anymore ... I see Guido has another blue shirt / I like this one the best. I have a very loving neighbor who just completed a three week project ON MY PROPERTY cutting down weeds AND what I ended up with is a gorgeous piece of landscape that has mulch and is so beautiful! She knew I couldn't do it what with my bad knees and scoliosis so she offered ... I am busy putting together a box of antiques and gift cards for her and her husband. She said she likes to make people *happy* and she SURE DID MAKE ME HAPPY ... as you did for me exactly one year ago with the aprons. BEST WISHES with Brian's visit and renovating while trying to stay cool and plant lavender which I am hoping to get for some flower pots on my front porch! Until next week! Love Sharon Rose

    Your comment that despite all the work and heat etc , you have never felt more in love with your husband, made my heart melt. In such conditions, many couples get irritable with each other, and become disconnected, and that’s very sad. It’s amazing that you’ve managed to flip this . I always wondered why couples can’t do what you have done, face the difficulty together and use it as an opportunity to become more connected. I know you have only been married a year, but you have absolutely the the right attitude and I have no doubt you will have a long and happy life together. I absolutely wish this for you.
    Ps make sure you don’t give Guido those delicious puddings too often, so he stays in good health!

    I have found that keeping my hair and/or t-shirt damp (either with a spray bottle or just rinsing and wringing/towel drying a few times per day) helps keep my body temperature down in extremely hot weather. The feeling of damp against the skin isn’t particularly pleasant but at least my body and mind can function and I manage to avoid heat stroke. I feel for you Kylie - pregnant in that merciless summer sun. Hope you have a wonderful visit with Brian.

      I use the same methods for cooling, especially along the back of neck; also frequently running cold water on the inside of my wrists… I heard long ago (pre- Google!) cooling these pulse points does the trick. This worked with my boys when they were younger also. And of course hydration is critical- pregnant or not. 👍 Fan From Florida 🌴

    Before I had AC, a couple of tricks to sleep. Take a wet face cloth or towel if needed and wet them, ring them out. Then put them in the freezer. Take one to bed, it is all hard and frozen, begin to wipe your body down!! The other is cheap spray bottles with water that are put in the fridge or freezer to get as cold as possible. Take to bed or use all day!!

    I noticed the weeds between the pavers at the cottage. A quick efficient way to remove them is a mix of 1 cup epsom salts dissolved in 1 cup vinegar plus 1/4 cup dish detergent.. Surfactant causes mix to adhere to the weeds. Decant into a spray bottle and spray on weeds early on a hot day when rain is not expected. Within a couple of days the weeds will be shrivelled. Rake up. Much easier than pulling or digging with a trowel. Best of luck to you.

    A trick for summer & keeping the home cool with out A/C. In the morning around 7-8 am close all the windows! YEP. if the nights & mornings are cooler (say 70-80's) if you shut your windows you keep the home cool & pleasant until around 3 pm. If you keep the windows open all day you keep the heat in the home. It works. it's not perfect but, much cooler then leaving the windows open. 🥶☃

      lastly, in the old days before a/c people would freeze a big block of ice (you can use a large kitchen tupper ware to free ice) then set the ice container in front of a fan...this will cool you. Put the ice container on somthing so that it will be right in the middle of the fan. look up "How to make an amazing air cooler for summer on y t ch American Tech .

    Oh my! I hope you had/have a wonderful visit with your friend and you're still surviving the heat. When it's all done (I've been through many renovations--and yes, they test the relationship) you will be in love with it almost as much as your husband. ♥️

    Troppo caldo!! Madonna mia. You are both such troopers! You and Guido demonstrate that Love can make anything possible under any circumstance.
    I have been on holiday making good use of my convertible, hiking boots and the west coast of the US. Now back in Seattle and enjoying every minute of catching up on your content. Can't wait to see you and Brian reconnect!

    Oh dear, a heatwave! Consider mixing in a spray bottle> peppermint pure essential oil (a lot) with distilled water. Spray it over yourselves all day to cool down & try standing in front of your fan after spraying. (You can also mix in scented lavender witch-hazel) but plain peppermint oil is divine. 💥 All is looking brilliant Kylie & Guido, well done! x💗x

    I renovated a house in the Australian summer with no air conditioning. I found soaking a sarong or some material about the length of your body. Ring out, lay over body like a sheet, put fan on and it’s bliss and I could get some much deserved sleep.

    This heat in Tuscany makes my brain feel like mush and I am just staring at the work that needs doing, or napping. I am the industrious type, so being forced into heat blobdom just makes me feel like I am losing something but I can't remember what haha. Time maybe? I am prone to say, when asked what I hate the most, "sweating, bathing, and sweating some more." Sweat, rinse repeat. To all Italians and compatriots here, stay cool if humanly possible. And as in all things, remember that "this too shall pass."

    Kylie is an Angel and the love that Kylie and Guido have for one another is going to make for a very special off spring. Sharing your house with trades people is a learning process and requires patience and supervision. Entrapping the dust to just a limited space is elementary so I hope trades men use this experience going forward for their sake of a building a great reputation for themselves, every little small courtesy matters.

All I can say is Guido’s sweet smile is all I would need to keep me going! It looks beautiful! Please don’t overdo. Now I sound like a mother. Love to you both.

    If you were and are friends you can go thru anything. My husband and I have been married for 55 yrs. and we never stay mad at each other, frustrated at times , but we don't stay mad. We always forgive and don't go to bed mad.

    How exciting!! I know Brian missed the wedding, but this is an equally momentous time in your life. I know he's thrilled to be there for part of this! Yes, Guido is doing an amazing job at staying on top of all the work...and looking out for you 💘 A supportive partner really does make all the difference. And that pool! 😍 I would be waiting so anxiously, like a kid, for the moment to fill it up and jump in! Bc i love baby showers, I have to ask-will you be having one? Any thoughts on baby names yet? And I just have to say, Guido's family and ancestors must be sooo proud of you both for bringing such love and life to the home and land. One day, when all the work is done, I hope you have a wonderful stroll with the baby, and admire all that you've accomplished. 👏 Thank you for sharing all of this with us! Hugs from Chicago 😊🌻😘

All the best and God's blessings for you and your family.
