    Sometimes a coffee goes a long way, especially here in Italy. Don't feel obliged in any way though, best of all would be to come to Tuscany and have one here with me!

    You never cease to amaze me when it comes to fixing things. Is there anything you can't do? I think you should ignore the outside and concentrate on the interior of the house; the new tenants/buyers can deal with it. SO GLAD you are taking time off to have a drink with the neighbors and chill out. I admire you so much! Best of luck with the remaining projects there. I hope you finish way before you have to leave so you can sit back and enjoy life a bit!

    Ah, Rafe. What are you going to do with yourself when your house in France is up and rented and your Italian villa is complete? Go go go is your speed. I hope you get to relax. Maybe film some cooking videos in your wonderful kitchen, teach us how to cook like an Italian. 😊😊

    Although your camera work can be absolutely shocking at times 😂 I loved it when trying to find ‘Wally’ within the undergrowth whilst watching a trembling hedgerow. Very amusing. I also admire your long list of to do’s and your attitude that it’s no big deal. You are doing a grand job.

    Shame you can’t empty caravan and cut sides down to 2ft high 🤔 perfect trailer Ralf , Ofc you don’t have time to do but an interesting project. Yes the little shed contents after 8 years probably should be dumped but the shed itself looks ok 👌🏻. Best time of the day 🤔 “ BEER 🍺 TIME “ few cold ones and feet in cool 😎 pool 😁 life don’t get much better Ralf , keep up the great progress.

    Plaster done right can transform the place. 20% of the effort will give 80% results, and your schedule is tight. You forgot to route the vent pipe for the kitchen hood. Don't forget to paint, as plaster left unpainted degrades faster over time, specially in kitchen areas with greasy moist vapors.. I hear you, 1001 easy tasks, one after another...

    • @NotUselessYet

      The kitchen hood has carbon filter in it so it recircs.

    Hi, another busy day hats off. I do wonder where all this rain is coming from, our water butts are usually bone dry by this point in July, they still remain full every day. Do you know if the mustard colour on the walls is paint or the plaster as every french house has this colour on the walls,
