The enthusiasm of your friend and his determination not to let that barn defeat him, had me chuckling again. Laughed out loud when he proudly threw the tin sheet onto the side of the road and it went sliding away. Mowing the dirt …well. Thanks again for the time you put into your videos
It’s so great when you have the help of a friend you can trust with this stuff. The sense of achievement together feels brilliant. Glad you had a good buddy for all this stuff
My goodness, you two got through some work together! That's a true friend, who will come and help you out through all of that. I was wondering what your neighbours thought of all the clanging metal when you were taking down the old barn building, but then again I don't doubt they will make as much noise themselves and it's all 'countryside' clatter anyway. I loved the film of you both sitting on the deck in the dark, talking. Brilliant.
IMPRESSIVE! you remind me alot of a DS on Barnaby Mysteries think his character name was Ben? Equally you remind me of Brian in France another TH-cam channel same kind of laid back attitude, witty, respectful, entertaining. I have been watching your Channel non-stop for the last 2 days! Yes I do have a life! Been watching in between projects. You are living the dream. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of joining you on your journey. X jane
Something very satisfying about seeing a renovation like this. Not sure if you've already set aside an area to compost all of the vegetation that you've been chopping down, but at some point you'll be in need of a load of good quality soil for your garden and having a readily available free source on site could be very handy.
Hi @tonyr7393 . As the filed is still being farmed I have not set one out properl yet. I plan to make one down the far bottom corner of the land - as far away as possible incase it attracts any unwanted guests.
This video defines the brilliance of TH-cam. Two mates confronted a project and made memories that everyone can witness and appreciate. Well done but I admit I thought you would take out the corner of the building.
Thanks @MikeMoraCalifornia . I did too...but that would not have been too bad as that building will come down next year. It would have been the clean up mess after that would have been the horrible part!😁
Wonderful to have your friend with you, very similar personalities,calm deliberate gentle, good luck heading forward things are coming together,baby steps gets it done we are enjoying Your journey..take care cheers...
Hugely satisfying watch. I imagine a lot of the viewers were thinking "I want to be there"! Lots of tasks making a huge difference. And the bromance topped it all!
A few are offering to visit and help so I hope to get organised for 2025 and open up a few weeks or weekends if anybody really does wish to be here. I think the demotition of that outhouse could be a fun week with a few people here.🤞😁
hahahaha I absolutely loved today's ep! I thought the old barn structure would never fall over, but you two didn't give up and it was so funny to watch 🤣 you certainly earned that beer !! Well done boys !!
It’s so relaxing watching other people work! I hope that you’re saving that corrugated metal sheeting. It could come in handy. Stack firewood on it, to keep it off of the dirt. Lay some down under the deck to keep the weeds down? Cheers, Richard!
Ìm in a Highland 1800s stone cottage I renovated and soooo wsh Id kept more detailed records now I get photos popping up on fb saying this is 7yrs ago and omg how you forget wat a joy having this record
That was how this started - with photos - and then it took on its own journey! It maybe a while before I look back but a snapshot year in review edit could be fun to edit and watch back in time. 😊 A stone cottage in the Highlands sounds amazing!
This one, I must say, had me laughing often, brilliantly authentic...Thank you! It's great to laugh, even if you weren't meant to be funny or at someone else's expense. I loved the "rocky style" music you played during the takedown of those massive tree limbs. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. I love seeing your little piece of Italy. I wish you continued success and it's lovely to see what is clearly a great friendship! 🤩😎
Thanks @lisasbeautifuljourney . We have been friends for over 30 years so I guess that showed nicely. Adding music in the edit is so hard to do well so thank you for picking up on it.😁
Hi Richard, wow what a job getting that thing down. Love the new lawnmower, looks a good one. Good progress on the project keep up the great work. Tony Romiley
Love watching your progress. We watch to enjoy, learn, live by proxy and even perhaps help. I haven't seen you use one, but a come-along would he very helpful for. Mostly when you are working alone.
Great video as always but this one was extra special. Lovely to see the bond between two friends and how much you can achieve with an extra pair of hands. Making memories and stories you can tell in the future when you’re sitting down at your house there when it’s all done. Look forward to the video of your trips together in Marche.
Hello in Italy😀 Wonderful video! What good friends you are❤ The little balcony you built is a stroke of luck - a cold beer in the evening with a friend at sunset 👍 We look forward to seeing how it turns out on your nice farm. Fight on! We are waiting for your next video. Kind regards from Sweden 🇸🇪
Move over Tuscay - Le Marche is coming for you!😂 I think the beauty of this place is that it is quieter and so lets hope it does not go over what the locals want and need from tourism.🤞 Enjoy your trip.
I've watched all 20 videos in about 3 weeks and I'm delighted I've finally caught up. It's great to see the progress. I'm looking myself in Italy at the moment and as an engineer and general handyman I'm glad to see how well you're doing the jobs. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Good binge watching @craigstewart4289 . Thanks! The finished product will be a few years away and the plans will probably change 5 times, again...but it will get there.😁
Hi @deniseoconnellmusic353 . That little deck is temporary - it has already been up there a year longer than originally planned. Once the landscaping starts then I will add lighting to the outrside areas. Although on the bright clear nights, which are quite common, outside lighting is not always needed.😎👍
Thank goodness you and your amazing friend came out safe on both of those projects ❤ Your making your paradise even more amazing each video. I love how you got yourself a lawn mower. As always Thanks for sharing and can’t wait until next time. Cindy
I’m up to number 20! I’ve been enjoying your experiences! Im just a bloke from Virginia USA here thinking about retiring in Italy so this is so helpful.
The great thing about doing things slowly is that you get to appreciate and discover the possibilities of a place rather than getting contractors to go in gung ho at it. Regarding the roof terrace on the outhouse building, to get around planning permission, how about putting a wooden deck above the roof rather than a tiled one as part of the roof? That way it wouldn’t be a permanent structure, just a second ‘star gazing’ deck… but of course it would be a wonderfully private space for sun and stars. 😁
A lot of smiles on this one. I still think the chain saw could have been used to dismantle the barn ( work smarter, not harder). It's always better to have someone with you when there's a lot of work to be done, especially when there's 2 man issues to be accomplished. Great video, enjoyed it greatly.
Hi @2quintly . It was considered but with all the hidden wire, cables and nails that we found in the most obscure places this was the safest option - saved trashing the chainsaw also!😁
It is a lovely piece that fits in well here. I will find it a better home when the ladnscaping and gardening starts. I think his wings may blow off in the winter if he stays in that wind tunnel gap!😂
Thanks @c-j1508 . Every two weeks is still the plan until I can get here more. I would love to make a video every week or push to 3 a month...time will tell..
You've a great pal there, Richard. He's a keeper. We're just completing our garden kitchen here in Ostuni, in preparation for the royal unveiling next weekend to the great and good community we've met since arriving here. Both ex-pat and local.....each of which have a story to tell and a meal to share.
where do you get your energy from !!! you are extremely knowledgeable.... i wish we were able to smell that tree all freshly cut, you have a gem of a friend there. Love your videos
Somedays I wonder myself! I do have a few easy days sat at a PC all day to recover. The smell of the tree was lovely. Thank you for watching and taking the time.
Hi Richard, No wonder you were exhausted 😮💨 Without your wonderful friend, it would have been impossible and dangerous, to tackle jobs like that ,by yourself ! He seemed to be enjoying himself ! I was worried when you decided to start cutting the tree down 😱but in the end ,it went well ! Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next !
Hey!!! Rich. What a ep! This would be your best yet . Awesome gr8 to have help. Your tree lopin' skills, not bad (beginner), good to see you thinkin' planning your cuts (and falls), SAFTY FIRST, well done. You did good. I really enjoyed this vid. You have opened up the area to light and flow, be good to see what you plan to do next with that spot. The possibilities are endless, can't wait for next ep. Having a beer for you(maybe two) that was hard yakka(work!) Cheers Aussie fan
Thanks @eziotaddeo1726 . It was a big lump of a branch that could have fallen a few ways so glad it went well. Lots to learn on that safety side but better to have two people on these things. The options for that are are wide open so it should be good to see what comes to mind over the next year or so as I finish the main house and plan ahead. Cheers to you - I need some of those Aussie style beer cooler things to keep them cool. The big bottles are the size of wine bottles so the stubbie coolers don't fit!😂
@@threeacresofmarche For a second I thought that you guys were really brave to get so close to a wild bird. Then I realized it must be fake, but only looked real because of the lighting.
Looks like Great Progress. Love the Mower Wave Shot... 📸 Game Changer! That Sheet Metal would be Great for Snow Boarding this Winter! 😜🤟✌️ Enjoyed the Show! Thanks again for Sharing.
Was that thing built by the Romans? Because it appears it was built to last. But that sunset drone shot made it all worthwhile. Cheers to your friend Simon for his hard work and good company no doubt.
Unreal how much wire and nails were used to tie that thing together! A whole car load of scrap wire was pulled out of there! It was great to have the help and such a laugh along the way.
What a great video Watching you both get the roof of the barn off You are a great team and got it done with no accidents The tree cutting was amazing If had not done it before I could not tell So wonderful to have good friends Enjoy you both all the video Working hard but also laughing and got it completed Take care and see you in next video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@threeacresofmarche thank you for the heart ❤️ Richard Yes you can tell that you were enjoying the time with your friend and the work you both accomplished in videos See you in next video and take care ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello, with a little help you guys got a lot done. The place is looking better every video. When you were cutting down that barn a sawzall could have made things a little easier but you still did the job. Thanks for another good video.
Hi @dono9879 a sawzall would have helped but we started this late and did not think it would be so difficult. The two videos were filmed in one go, one evening. I think that tool will be the next one on my wish list.👍
Meant in a very positive way, but I got a flashback on Waldorf & Statler while you were rambling on the terrace deck😁. Perfect ease of a long lasting friendship. Very nice to see you both working with pleasure together on the house.
That was two huge jobs, well done. The old shed looked really sketchy to get down, even with both of you. The tree is always unnerving, you can never be sure it's going to fall how you want, but it went really well.👍
Quick suggestion/recommendation - I bought a 6" mini chainsaw a couple of months back after much deliberation and can say that they are really good and in particular for anything overhead / anything 1/2" plus - avoids the palpitations of using a proper chainsaw which you then only need tor downing real trees : )
Thanks @peterh7842 that is a good idea and seems a sensible tool for the safety side. With so many small branches to cut each year that would be a wise investment. Another tool on the shopping list.🙌
Great job! I'm loving watching the videos. My wife is from Italy (near Lecco) and we spent 5 months there this year up until May. Now I find myself wanting to go back and buy a farmhouse to toil on for the next few years, haha.
Lots of good work and good times! Did I spot a 24 h of Le Mans t-shirt at the end? That's my hometown so I spot these a mile away ;) Great progress and it's nice to see the outhouse getting much needed air and light.
Hahaha what were the chances eh great shot , but so funny demolition by two men and a rope , well at least you both had a work out which saves on gym fees . Take care .xx
Iv binge watched this whole series over the last couple of days, and I'm addicted. I like your style of videos so thanks for entertaining me. Also is that a Welsh accent I hear?
The platform that I have is not solid or high enough so trying to grind off the bolts from a ladder with nothing that solid to lean against seemed too risky with all the uneaven ground below. It was a good workout so there is always a positive!😁👍
I'm glad you finally got a mower...I've been waiting haha. Also, wondering why you didn't somehow hook to your vehicle to pull some of that down quicker. My dad and I did that pulling some stumps out of the ground when I was a teen...fond memories...not! lol.
The big purchase had to wait a lot longer than I had planned. Pulling that down with my car....that sounds expensive if it goes wrong! And I would be stuck with no transport to get back to England.😂
I know it’s more work but it’ll be worth it, cut your old barn posts and use some of the old roof sheeting and make a timber storage rack, waste not want not ❤ Shell🇦🇺
Hi @One_Crazy_Dog_Mum . I will reuse as much as I can. Most of the posts are rotten - they are being held together by all the wire and cables. The roof sheets should come in handy for a few things.👍
Great to see two mates partnering together to get a difficult job done. Cheers to the kindness of friends! 👬
The enthusiasm of your friend and his determination not to let that barn defeat him, had me chuckling again. Laughed out loud when he proudly threw the tin sheet onto the side of the road and it went sliding away. Mowing the dirt …well. Thanks again for the time you put into your videos
Thank you @elaineayres1989 It is lovely to get comments like this one. Thanks for watching and your kind words.👍
What a good friend you have there.😊
Yes - a great friend of 30+ years.
It’s so great when you have the help of a friend you can trust with this stuff. The sense of achievement together feels brilliant. Glad you had a good buddy for all this stuff
the funniest part at the end when we see actually how many attempts your friend took to hook the beam,....hilarious:)
Not many make it to the end of these things so thank you. I thought it would be fun - his family loved it! 😂
My goodness, you two got through some work together! That's a true friend, who will come and help you out through all of that.

Where's his family? Oh, they're not coming.
He is a great friend and gave me such a lift with having a good laugh as we stryggled away.😊
I think the families may arrive when the work is done and the sun terrace is all set up properly.😎
Funny friend at the end!!! Well done. 🤣🤣🐶🇬🇧

Nice that you got some help for a change.... not much a 'vacation' for him however! 😉 🤣
He loved it @lagringa7518 - we did manage to get to the beach for a few hours also!😂
Yay ! You are doing amazing so glad you had your mate there to help with the dodgy stuff😊
Thanks @terricollins8450
Great work! Love the 'spoiler' at the end 🤣
Thanks for watching until the end!🙌

HI @sylvief8841 . Yes, I have quite the collection now. I will reuse as much as I can on other parts anc cover, as you suggest.
So happy you put the drone up dear neighbour - wonderful to see our house🎉
HI @claudiaschade7862 What a house you have!! Thanks for that lovely lunch - see you all soon.😎

such hardwork, i feel tired on your behalf 😂😂 very well done!! your mate needs another holiday after this ‘holiday’
That one evening on the both barns (shows over the two videos) did take a chunk out of us both!😂
Hi Richard, wow what a job getting that thing down. Love the new lawnmower, looks a good one. Good progress on the project keep up the great work. Tony Romiley
Thanks @anthonytodd3408
It's the journey that counts, not how you got there. Superb progress chaps. Bellisimo!
Thanks @TimFrancis-hu8ge . The cuts and bruises are not so much fun but the little signes of progress keeping you going.😂
Excellent work and great camaraderie! Nothing like a good mate to help tackle a challenge!
We have been close friends for 30 years.😊
Wonderful video. Such hard work. But looks much better. Lovely.
Love watching your progress. We watch to enjoy, learn, live by proxy and even perhaps help. I haven't seen you use one, but a come-along would he very helpful for. Mostly when you are working alone.

I hope they were great memories also. Thanks @johnpeterdean1653

Well done, real progress! Doesn't it feel good to stand back and look at how much you've gotten done..? Good job.
Thanks @oliviabishop5451 - yes - slow progress but the signs are starting to show.
Another great score for the Airbnb! Good to see a friend come and help and have some laughs.
This AirBnB will have all the mod cons! It may make the 1 star, very low expectation, grade soon!😂
How important are good friends!
Priceless.😊
Great video. I’m in Sicily at moment. 😊Love it. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks - enjoy the last few days of summer down there.🙌
Great video as always but this one was extra special. Lovely to see the bond between two friends and how much you can achieve with an extra pair of hands.
Making memories and stories you can tell in the future when you’re sitting down at your house there when it’s all done.

There is still some parts remaining so it is not a full tick off the mamoth list !😂

Man vs Tree! You both got a lot done and even in that heat. What a great way to end a hard work day, watching the sunset like that.
It is a nice little reward to end the day.😊

Hello, with a little help you guys got a lot done. The place is looking better every video. When you were cutting down that barn a sawzall could have made things a little easier but you still did the job. Thanks for another good video.
Hi @dono9879 a sawzall would have helped but we started this late and did not think it would be so difficult. The two videos were filmed in one go, one evening. I think that tool will be the next one on my wish list.👍
Bravi, bellissimo lavoro. Ciao Richard
Thank you
My little guilty pleasure.....
Hahaha, I thought you did it one go! Well done, nice to see you have some help.
Thanks for making it to the end....most skip it!😂
Meant in a very positive way, but I got a flashback on Waldorf & Statler while you were rambling on the terrace deck😁. Perfect ease of a long lasting friendship. Very nice to see you both working with pleasure together on the house.
Thanks @MarcoLangeveld . We have been great friends for over 30 years.😊
Вы великолепны! Супер!!!
Thank you @vorobyovanatoliy9481
invest in , or hire tirfors for these kind of jobs , controls the direction of drops and eliminates the pain :)
Good idea @DOGGONE1 . Thank you. They would work when I am alone. I will add that to my shopping list.🙌
That was two huge jobs, well done. The old shed looked really sketchy to get down, even with both of you. The tree is always unnerving, you can never be sure it's going to fall how you want, but it went really well.👍
Thanks @neutonrenda2303 . The harder looking job was the easy one in the end. Typical!😂
Quick suggestion/recommendation - I bought a 6" mini chainsaw a couple of months back after much deliberation and can say that they are really good and in particular for anything overhead / anything 1/2" plus - avoids the palpitations of using a proper chainsaw which you then only need tor downing real trees : )
Thanks @peterh7842 that is a good idea and seems a sensible tool for the safety side. With so many small branches to cut each year that would be a wise investment. Another tool on the shopping list.🙌
Love the wire-brimmed hat!
Great job! I'm loving watching the videos. My wife is from Italy (near Lecco) and we spent 5 months there this year up until May. Now I find myself wanting to go back and buy a farmhouse to toil on for the next few years, haha.
Sounds like the start of a bee in the bonnet @jeffraycarson🙌
Siete uno "spasso". What "spasso"'? Fun, nice. Ciao
Thank you @silviobernasconi3819
😂 good job. 🎉
Hi @notdoingsogood2024 Thank you. I just spotted your nametag - I hope you are ok and this year turns out good for you. 😊
@@threeacresofmarche thank you.
Lovely video! Has your mate got a name? Colin has! 😂. Cheers! 😊
He does - Simon.👍
Loved the Laurel and Hardy routines. 😂
Seeing as your photo is of Vic & Bob I will take that as a compliment.😂🙌
@@threeacresofmarche Definitely. 👍
epic video,so much wrk done ,gettin that tree down ,i hate trees ,so weelll done ,more light now for u n safer ,roll on next video
I plan to only remove those causing damage. 😊
Well done boys … glad you got some help though 😊
I could never have done all that on my own so it was much appreciated.
Lots of good work and good times! Did I spot a 24 h of Le Mans t-shirt at the end? That's my hometown so I spot these a mile away ;) Great progress and it's nice to see the outhouse getting much needed air and light.
Hi @mysicilycorner I think it was, yes. I see your place is coming on really well!🙌
Hahaha what were the chances eh great shot , but so funny demolition by two men and a rope , well at least you both had a work out which saves on gym fees . Take care .xx
You're right @dawnrudd2496 - no need for a gym when buying a little do'er upper in Italy!😂🤦♂️
Iv binge watched this whole series over the last couple of days, and I'm addicted. I like your style of videos so thanks for entertaining me. Also is that a Welsh accent I hear?
Hi @Sparkplugsteve Thank you for the binge watch! Yes, I grew up in Cardiff.
Man, got tired looking. Back-seating here, but could you not get the metal plates of first. I feel the grinder in my hand man, lol 🤣
The platform that I have is not solid or high enough so trying to grind off the bolts from a ladder with nothing that solid to lean against seemed too risky with all the uneaven ground below. It was a good workout so there is always a positive!😁👍
I'm glad you finally got a mower...I've been waiting haha. Also, wondering why you didn't somehow hook to your vehicle to pull some of that down quicker. My dad and I did that pulling some stumps out of the ground when I was a teen...fond memories...not! lol.
The big purchase had to wait a lot longer than I had planned.
Pulling that down with my car....that sounds expensive if it goes wrong! And I would be stuck with no transport to get back to England.😂
@threeacresofmarche That sounds smart. My dad had teenage me behind the wheel doing it while he manned the stump or tree. Little scary lol.
Siccome mi piacerebbe seguirti fino a fine ristrutturazione di suggerirei di armarti di casco e guanti quando fai questo tipo di lavori 🤣🤭🤗
I will take it easy! Thank you.😁🙌
@@threeacresofmarche 🙂
I know it’s more work but it’ll be worth it, cut your old barn posts and use some of the old roof sheeting and make a timber storage rack, waste not want not ❤ Shell🇦🇺
Hi @One_Crazy_Dog_Mum . I will reuse as much as I can. Most of the posts are rotten - they are being held together by all the wire and cables. The roof sheets should come in handy for a few things.👍
😊Yes, that's it! It's what we Italians call " l'arte di arrangiarsi" keep it up but be careful, very careful! Please! 😊
Slow and steady!😊
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Cheers @mariushegli
