Hey everyone who’s been following the renovation!

I’m taking an official break from updating the blog to concentrate on getting the renovation done – Helen will still be updating the midlifeitaly blog so you can keep up to date through her.

Thanks for your interest in what we are doing – when I get back to the blog, I will email anyone who has subscribed to let them know.

Ciao, Marcus!

Ever wanted to renovate a property abroad but talked yourself out of it after struggling to find detailed information on how much it really costs and how to actually go about renovating in a new country? With a new life in Italy including a rural stone farmhouse to renovate, that is exactly where my wife Helen and I found ourselves in 2016. To find out more about our day to day lives and the challenges we face, follow Helen's blog at midlifeitaly.com, but stick with me here for a more specific story of the renovation itself. Our goal? ... to create a dream home in rural Italy on a seriously restricted budget, doing as much of the work ourselves as is legally possible. So why the blog? ... to share our real life experiences and hopefully inform and inspire others to follow their dream of renovating abroad!
