    It is ok to take more time because you are spending time trading off w Luce. I have raised six children and one thing for sure, their babyhood goes by so quickly and you never get that time back. You are obviously doing it right w her. She is such a happy, verbal, intelligent baby and adorable! I admire how adaptable and flexible you are as parents and people. I also marvel at how advanced Luce is for her age. You will be settled in your new home before you know it. Any hardships and difficulties will be a distant memory as you enjoy your new home and developing your property and olive oil business. Blessings, Debbie

It was interesting seeing the rocks sitting on top of the roof tiles, which I’ve never seen before!

    I have an idea for your tiles problem, which I saw in a local café. Instead of polishing/tiling/leveling the old floor, they used the VARNISH. After covering the whole floor with varnish/lacquer, it leveled perfectly with adding a constand wet look.
    Considering the fact, that the spots on your tiles appear after they dry out, the constant wet look would help with that problem.
    Maybe you would have a need to freshen the varnish time after time, butin case of my local café, they have not been doing anything to it for the last 4 years. And it looks more than good

    • @lindascott2008
      @lindascott2008 9 місяців тому +18

      I was thinking the exact same thing, so glad they saw your comment, varnish would be the best solution, the wet look is exactly what makes those tiles look the best, and it will level the floor, which I hadn't thought about, brilliant suggestion!

    I put terra cotta tiles throughout my new build house. After construction, the terra cotta was so filled with construction dust that I bought a machine like your crew had. I had to scrub and mop it for months to get it all out before I could seal the floor. You kitchen floor looked somewhat OK when it was wet. I was going to suggest a high gloss sealer. The wet look will probably be OK. Perhaps more coats. Buy a gallon and use a roller. I used a roller for my house. 2 thick coats did it.

    I remember when you were having Luce and you kept the placenta attached for hours. She seems to be very curious and smart and of course very pretty and sweet as well.
    I hope other parents will follow your lead on this and not cut the umbilical cord so quickly. Keeping oxygen going to the brain in those first precious moments of life is so important and of course your attention to parenting is really paying off in a truly beautiful child.
