    Brady, my question to you is, how did you manage to get such good contractors to help you? I’ve seen so many horror stories about the difficulty in getting good quality contractors to work in Italy given some of their proclivities to only work when they want to and not when you need them. It seems to me at least these past couple of months you’ve hit the jackpot concerning contractors with reliability, professionalism and talent. I imagine your willingness to join in and help with the hard work not to mention your obvious ability goes a long way to garner much respect between the contractors, workers and yourself. Love your channel and admire your skills and perseverance. Watching from PA, USA.

      It is indeed very difficult to find here in Italy good quality contractors available to work on your house. Impossible to fix a schedule and to coordinate all the people in order to go head as fast as possible. Another big problem is that workers and contactors are ageing and struggle to find young workers to hire.

    • @pascalvallinoto6913
      @pascalvallinoto6913 День тому

      It depends on the areas of Italy, but this happens everywhere in Europe..I worked with technicians in France who had to surf in the morning and showed up at the construction site when it happened in the afternoon..Here the problems in percentage occur towards the south but at dord where the most work is done must be sent and they try to close the work as soon as possible so as not to lose orders...it all depends on whether the client has the money and can afford to finish the work, on the designer and the construction manager. The most famous areas where there are tireless companies is the Bergamo area, near Milan but in general almost all designers rely on trusted companies every time they have to build throughout Italy because they know how to work together, they bring clients and they make price discounts..so when the customer does not know the companies, the designers themselves will indicate the good companies to the customers so that the designer himself in the end has no problems closing the works.

With the extra internal insulation in the walls its been well worth while, we haven't had a bill to pay for over 12 months. We are in credit with the power company and with spring and summer just starting we will be adding significantly to that credit which should see all our bills taken care of for the next year too.

    I never imagined such a modern house when you first bought it and showed it to us. I thought you would be off grid and have mostly stone walls. You will have a very nice and comfortable place when it is finished.
