    Your work day after day looks great! Taking a day off here and there never hurt anyone. I agree with the Taylor Swift music but she's a billionaire now, so she's doing something right. Have a fabulous week ahead.

      Hi Rosa. Alsolutely true and yes she is doing something right. Ultimately I wasn't really taking away by the music. So I guess I stick to the idea that there is better music around :)) Thanks for the nice comment!

    Plant something pretty like Erigeron (lovey little flowers) where the pool stone paving ends and meets the wood poles beneath to soften it up.

    True inspiration of how one guy with a vision and purpose can create such an inviting environment. Survey your surroundings with great pride young fella. Best of the day is seeing a much deserved vino while observing the many changes in progress.

    A great video Bart, yes maybe Mama Nature forced you to retreat a little, take a breather, have a coffee and off you go again at full gallop! I always love seeing the garden areas in your videos, they make me happy. The older I get, the more I prefer the in-your-own-sweet-time philosophy to life. I am sure your knees must be wrecked from all that work. Alcohol of Rosemary rubbed on the kneecaps it may help to reduce suffering in these areas. I am fascinated to know what the "romantic side project" is. Thank you for another wonderful update of your work in progress. Have a wonderful week. 😘

Left some space there for that romantic idea I have in my mind. Hope it works out well. Just that the weather is a bity in the way right now. Need to do some welding. Not with rain.

    Bonjour Bartholome, je viens de découvrir ta chaine UA-cam, et je me suis visionné toutes les vidéos une après l'autre en deux jours. Je trouve ton aventure passionnante, tu sais bien travailler, tu fais des bons choix de matériaux et tu as choisi une très belle région. C'est vrai que c'est stratégique comme tu le dis dans une de tes vidéos. C'est un point central et il fait bon vivre. Je suis français, mais j'ai des origines italiennes (dans le Piémont aussi, vers Alessandria). Mes parents y passent leur retraite. Moi aussi, un jour, je partirais en Italie, et un compromis entre les montagnes et la mer, pourquoi pas. Tu me donnes des idées, un peu dans tous les domaines. Je te souhaite d'ouvrir dans les temps tes logements, et quand ce sera fait, je passerai te voir.

      Salut. Ça fait plaisir à entendre. Regarder de façon excessive ? Waouh. Merci pour votre beau commentaire. Vous êtes donc à moitié italien. J'espère ouvrir fin juillet. Ce sera quelque chose de nouveau pour moi, mais j’attends cela avec impatience. J'espère que nous nous rencontrerons ici. Bien entendu, le Piémont a longtemps fait partie de la Savoie. J'habite donc plutôt dans le Sud. Sous Cortemilia. Presque à la frontière avec la Ligurie. La Ligurie est également très belle, mais en réalité uniquement sur la côte. Il existe également quelques villes et villages à l'intérieur des terres. Cette section est l'Alta Langha. Moins de raisins, plus de forêts et plus de production de noisettes. Plus silencieux aussi. De nombreuses personnes regardent autour de Nizza Monferato. Au large des côtes, cela dépend de l'endroit où l'on habite. Il y a quelques routes provinciales vers la côte, mais si vous êtes à deux vallées, cela peut facilement prendre 2 heures ou plus de route jusqu'à la côte. De toute façon. Peut-être que nous pourrons faire connaissance cette année. J'annoncerai certainement si et quand j'ouvrirai ! Salutation.

    Aprilletje zoet geeft nog wel is een witte hoed. In deze maand moet je de mindset even aanpassen aan het weer. Tis niet anders.
    Daarentegen kan je weer andere dingen doen die je anders gepland had. Ondanks het weer heb buiten nog best veel kunnen doen. Maar zo het ernaar uitziet worden de komende weken goede weken, want de materialen gaan toch binnen komen?
    Veel succes weer toegewenst Bart👍👍👍

So probably more towards the middle of May. Glad I did the rest of the work around the pool. Next the railings. Got some friends coming over.

    The pathways with the woodchips look nice and neat! Good to see the pavement around the pool more or less done, work on the railings in progress. What thickness, are the steelwork pergolas at the poolside made of? I might try to replicate this at my home on a smaller scale. Love the garden shots, thank for that. Also really impressed with the electric panel (both the central and appartment ones), labelled and everything, another thing I urgently need to replicate at home😉! No beach day unfortunately this week, who knows maybe next. Looking forward to your (for now) secret project. I hope you will install and connect the washing machine soon save you some work. See you next week.

    • @borgopoggiodeifiori
      @borgopoggiodeifiori  5 місяців тому

      Oh the washing machine. How I need that one. Postponing washing of work trousers. For the iron work, much depends on the area you need to cover. Up to 3 meters you can do with 3x2. The ones at the poolside are H-beams. 8x5 if I remember right. Much stronger and suitable to cover larger spans. And I missed that beach opportunity two weeks ago. Now it looks like I need to wait at least another 10 days or so. The weather forecast isn't looking rosy to me ;-(

    I think I heard you say you are going to put grass next to one side of pool. No matter how you cut it, you will get debris in the pool. Have you considered using artificial turf. The quality of it now looks really awesome. Since the area is small I don't think anyone would condemn you for going non-organic. The time saved cleaning the pool would justify the use. Cost should be acceptable! Fantastic progress!!
