Loving your videos so far! Agree that the voiceover is a great addition. We have a family house near Kolymbari, west of Chania, would love to find a place like yours to do up for ourselves one day!
Thank you! I know the area well, it’s a short drive from this house. There are endless amounts of old stone houses around the island with great potential, all begging to be brought back to life. They just need the right person to come along!
Good proposed layout. The second bedroom seems a bit small, but you know best. Also, if your geckos are like mine, they will soon return through open windows and doors. I don’t mind them, since they help control the mosquito population. Edit: Thank you for the voice over. It makes the video more interesting.
Thanks! The guest bedroom will be compact, but its minimal design, large window, and built-in storage will make the room feel quite spacious. Plenty of space for your family of geckos and mine! Doing voiceovers is something entirely new for me, so I'm hoping to improve this with each video, and thanks for your feedback.
The geckos are harmless. As a matter of fact they tend to eat various insects that may have trespassed into the home. Well I see that the previous owners had real cabinets installed. I have slowly been remodeling a couple of very old apartments I have where the facade and counter were the cabinets. I always take the time to get cheap leftover or second grade tile to line the back of the wall if that wall is against an exterior wall. I learned the hard way that if there is moisture leaking through the wall it will cause mound within the cabinets and will render them useless. Taking into consideration where the counter top will be I will install the premium tiles about five centimeters below the countertop against the wall and then install cabinets and counters. The way most builders do a kitchen is to slam cabinets against an outside wall. Add the counter top and then tile the wall up to where the upper cabinets begin. Now if one was ever to replace the cabinets for any reason, tiles an all must come out to remove the counter and cabinets. Waste of time and money if one likes the tiles in use. I always install a decent bead of silicone along the back of the counter top before installing the counter. Seals against moisture getting behind the counter. That is an interesting stone flower pot in the wall by the one entrance, I like accents like this.
I have been mistaken for a Greek many times, but I am Irish! Yes, I purchased the property in January. You can read more about that in the description of video #1

So happy to have found your channel and looking forward to your renovations. I also enjoy hearing your commentary.
Thank you for the kind words Suzy, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the renovation journey.
Bravo
Looks like you have a fountain outside as well. What a beautiful property! That living room is going to be a stunner.
There is a small decorative tap and basin, which is definitely staying exactly as is. The living room is going to be very lovely too!

Good advice thank you, and I love the detail of the flower pot too. It’s those small details that mean so much in a house.
Beautiful view and love the fireplace!
