If you walk by the house today this is what you will see.......
The sign says "Do not enter"
But we'll just ignore the sign and take a little peak inside.
They had to completely knock down the stairs in front and rebuild them.
They've reinforced existing doors and windows and knocked through new ones.
Now, you can see blue sky from my kitchen!
Seriously, I think it would have been easier to knock the whole thing flat and rebuild it from scratch.
But that would have been no fun!
The work is reaching a really exciting stage, where big changes are happening and they are starting to put the puzzle back together again. It's quite incredible how quickly things can move when everything goes according to plan. We have a great team of builders who are doing a fantastic job and my father-in-law is there every day over-seeing the work. For him it's a labour of love, bringing back to life the house he grew up in.
And the next generation is waiting patiently for her new house to be ready!
Happy days!!
Love,

What a huge labour of love! It is true, it would be much easier to bulldoze it all and start from scartch, but nothing easy was worth having. It will be truly amazing when it's all finished. Please keep showing us the progress :)

Oh wow, what a huge undertaking!! The end result will be so worth it, so meaningful for your family and so rewarding. Can't wait to see more photos along the way x
So exciting to see your renovations under way and brings back memories of our own, especially building a staircase!
Wow that is incredible. I do not know if I would be so brave to take on such a huge project. But I am sure that the outcome will be worth every effort.
Good god, good luck. And show as the progress on the house, now and then. It would be nice to see.
Best of luck on your construction endeavor! Hard, but will be well worth it. :) I love that to live in Italy and I really can't fathom how I was not following you before. Ciao from your newest gfc followers :))))
Thanks for the update Sarah! I've been wondering how things were going. I'm so happy that you've got a good team of builders and things seem to be moving along so well. Keep us posted x
