41 thoughts on “Restoring terracotta floor/ Fixing Ape Piaggio”
I’m wondering if there’s been a change in sizes from one system to another and the new spark plug is a little too big. The old one’s gap spacing might need adjusting as that’s what I remember watching someone measuring with callipers and adjusting minutely (an old boyfriend many years ago). All the best. Looks like the corridor tiles have been painted over too.
What a wonderful place you have. I do love what you’re doing in the room, the floor will be wonderful. Love your channel. With great love from Canada 🇨🇦
So many interesting things going on right now. You are never bored or boring! We love ❤️ following your adventures. Praying for Ape Maria – she is so tired.
You are both so amazing you remind me my Parents able to do anything , my Dad literally restored their home like you do Mom is a gardener like you it’s a pleasure to watch your videos thank you from USA Tennessee
Try using a paint Thiner on the tiles to see if it will loosen the dark spots in the divots 🙂 The thinner shouldn't damage the tiles, it will evaporate quickly
Hope the Ape will be fixed soon. I am so sorry about the hail damaging your garden. The work inside the house is coming along very well. I think the guest room floor will be beautiful when you get it all cleaned! Thank you for sharing so much with us. ❤
Alla, I think I found the name of your type of terracotta ~look up : “Ondulato Rosso Matte Terracotta” these tiles have the same swirl two tone colour as yours:) love your floor a lot .. I collect terracotta pots and such🌷✨
I hope the Ape will be good to drive again soon and Sergie will be able to fix it what a lovely Terracotta floor discovery but hard work ahead to be restored courage you will enjoy this beautiful floor good luck see you bye
I had a car that was made in 1965. My brother still has it but it isn’t going at the moment. I love that car. Used to have some problems similar to your Ape but they are much easier to repair yourself than more modern cars. I hope one day I’ll have enough money to get it back on the road again 😊
I can not understand, yes Sergei is мастер на все руки – the man Who can do anything starting from culinary and finishing with electricity, heating, works in the garden and so on and so on, but maybe in this case you ask some specialists to help with your car?
Siril Decrustant was used successfully on cleaning tiles with cement on them by Àndrew on real Algave living. He is in Portugal, so maybe you can get it in Spain (food for thought)
Ya sé ve el avance de la habitación, supongo que cuando el suelo esté listo lo siguiente serán las molduras de los paneles , estoy impaciente por ver cómo quedan❤
We rent them from our home centers. If they don’t have them we have rent a centers. It would be worth looking into. It would take about an hour to do the whole floor

Maybe it time to yry finding a new vehicle. I know its an expense but you can find a way
Oh no hail go away. Your poor magnolia blooms. As my Dear ole Grandmother said”It’s only weather?”
The poor magnolia tree..the hail damage is extensive. So sorry.
I hope you get the Ape working. The hail is unfortunate. What a shame the flowers were flattened. I hope the rest of the week is brighter for you!

I noticed that part of the curtain behind you has loosened up.
FLAT for the sander. Loved the use of your foot!
Cherie the rock star love the eye movements such a sweet dog . Interesting find with the tiles.

What is the year and the model of your Ape Piaggio?
Is it possible you may need a new starter alternator?
Alla what is the name of the lake you live next to pls? You said the mountains we always see are Swiss?😊 hugs from Australia. ☺️🙏🏼🍷🐶

Love your positive attitude in facing all of your challenges! 🤗🤗🤗
You will be able to enjoy the sunset here in summer from your beautiful salon.
And me thinking, finally the are bringing Ape Maria to a garage and fix her well….

Love your videos. Amazing progress! ❤
Серёжа и аллочка вы молодцы! Жаль что град побил магнолия такая красивая не огорчаться ещё будет цветение!
Hi Alla..
My suggestion is to rent a large sander and use it to sand that floor. It would take much les time. Good luck!♥️♥️♥️😘
Adoro sentire il tuono. I love a good thunderstorm. We don’t get many in Houston. ❤
We have hail – a famous line from the movie Twister. They re-did it. Coming to the theater soon.
You are both doing great ! 🎉 so sorry about the Ape Maria😢 What can you do? ❤❤
Maybe there is a kind of acid that you can put on the tiles leave for a while then scrub of
Precious Cherie😊 the floor is going to be absolutely beautiful❤
Before you know it another room will be done!

The magnolia may rebloom. I had a similar one and it bloomed profusely off and on all summer long.
