We take a break from the expansion project to our stone house in the foothills of the Italian alps, to remove a stone wall in order to build two new doorways.

We are Heather, Bradey, Alexa and Chloe. We purchased an abandoned stone barn in the foothills of the Italian Alps and we are working together as a family to renovate and restore this old stone barn into our dream home.

I feel like you have made a friend in the construction guys!! Being able to laugh, cry and swear with someone is key to a great friendship!! And it always helps to have a great team
Its cos hubby is a friendly cool guy❤
Well said
Maybe Brady's future career with the Stonemasons?? We'll see, lol!
This is your Apprenticeship Brady !
You're learning from Master's
Amazing learning Experience
Beautiful Job !
The statement, "You're more important than me,." was so beautiful. True or not, if each spouse felt this way about their partner marriages would last. You have become a higher status couple to me today. Your home is going to be so lovely.
Literally 5 minutes in. And that is the best way to show just how the barn was built. No mortar holding the stones together. And it stayed safe and sound for centuries.
No mortar, but so much DIRT which stays in those walls. A HAVEN for critters
And manure from cows, windows open, blown in, critters and bugs. There's no way I'd want to live there, closed up and breathing that toxic mold even if every seam were mortared in. Humidity is going to breed stuff I'm afraid. It's gonna be gorgeous though. I'd bring in professional to test for molds. @@NC-gt4uv
That lintel holding up that ton or so of rock/boulders looked paper thin to me compared to the lintels Brady has hand-hewn that are HUGE in comparison!!
him pounding on that rock on the floor upstairs-AND NOT GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR!!! PRICELESS. give yourself a big pat on the back!
Yikes!! when those stones were coming down like a ton of bricks/stone, I was thinking hope the floor holds out. Had to laugh when the stone mason said 'are you alive' and Brady replies 'A little'. That is is a very good relationship you guys have with each other. I think Brady has earned the respect from those builders as to the hard work he does and is willing to learn and help. Brady those men are good in their trade and you working with them is a lovely team to watch. Do tell them your viewers are very appreciative of them and the addition on the end of the house is beautiful. Heather and the girls are so happy. Have a lovely day.
Best episode yet. I spent my entire working life of 49 years in construction. I always liked demo the best. I’ve torn down entire buildings. What fun!
Yeah, to tear down it takes a fraction of a second but to re-build, it might take endless time.
Glad no one was hurt! Yipes! I was standing in my living room and moving out of the way of your stones. 😂
Sort of like playing Jenga, but with real consequences. Great project, glad you're still alive!
My Italian grandfather was a stone mason. He was a wonderful man. I love watching these guys work. That's a beautiful skill you're taking on. It will serve you well given all those stones you've accumulated!
My great grandfather helped build the large fountain in Chicago.
@@jmc-xp6ml The grand Buckingham Fountain? Wow, that's gorgeous! How nice to think of your ancestry when you see it. ❤
20:57 FINALLY you are wearing a HARD HAT. 👏
Hey Gentleman, SAFETY FIRST, when you work heavy Stones you have to wear Safety Choose and Never basket choose..There is no standard exchange for the foot.!!!!
The italien maestro seem to got some??
Safety Choose got a metal cover at the front to protect fingers foot.
Fantastic works . BRAVO.
Bon courage and stay safe.
I forgot to tell you guys before you started that I have a bad back. When you both lifted that big block from the front wall, I really hurt my back. I don’t know how you do it, actually I do. I guess you’re about 20 years younger than me and have healthy backs. You are doing an amazing job, it’s fun to watch somebody do the work that I can no longer do. God bless you all on this Palm Sunday. ❤
Hard hats. 😮
I have never seen soo many stones in a project !
That looks very scary. Thank goodness the professionals seem to know exactly what they're doing.
Someone in Italy should see these video how houses were built solid !
The upstairs doorway would look amazing framed out in wood with a window on top, going from floor to ceiling. Love seeing these transformations, it's coming together beautifully!
Brady, I can't help but think about what's happening to your back when you pickup the large stones. This exactly how one damages the spinal cord. Clearly you're strong enough to but so many people injure the disks in their lower back doing just what you're doing.
Carrying water buckets, bags of grain, tossing around bales of hay & building small stone retaining walls in my flower gardens, I managed to smush (medical term) the fluid out of the disks in my lower back. This lead to decades of pain & inability to walk when my "back would go out". Check this out for yourself...maybe a velcro brace would protect you in some way. Excellent item to sponsor!!! Cheers!
I would spray some type of foam or sealant in the cracks and spaces of the stones. Just to prevent more rats from getting in.
they just eat the foam
I'm pretty sure some pointing is in the future.
NO using spray foam is not necessary. The builders will point between the rocks and no opening will give access to mice or rats etc. Don't worry.
OMGeeeeeee ... I can't believe I'm watching this episode from ITALY!!!!
Possibly, the most interesting part of the remodel.😲
my eyes feel dusty just watching this
I felt I was breathing that dust in just watching the video
I love the look without the wall.
Me too 😊
È un miracolo che siete usciti illesi da quel cantiere!
You all are such hard worker it looks so awesome it was nice to see one of your daughters too...
Great job! I'm looking forward to seeing the rebuild, especially the archway.
Hello from Ontario, Canada. All I can say is WOW! You are very ambitious. It is going to be beautiful. Keep up the hard work. 💕💕
I simply can't imagine all the work and effort you guys have put into your home.
It looks awesome! Wow, how nice is it to see how fast is all moving now. As Alexia said at the end of the video: "Good job!"
Your adventure of making a new home is more than amazing. I am so excited for your family and having to wait to see it completed is a way to learn patience. Your Italian friends that are helping you are wonderful works and wonderful friends too. I am learning some Italian words. Great show.
Demolition party ... seems you guys had fun ... looking forward to the reconstruction
brave to take on this house I would have run away from the horror
As you were knocking that down, my first thought was, "what about all that excess weight on the floor boards?" Glad it all worked out.
What do you mean "excess weight"? nothing was added.. it's the exact same amount of weight as before, only shifted to a new location... 😁
@@carltonshell1964 You're obviously not a builder. The foundations of the wall itself was taking all the weight of the upper floor stones, but then the weight of all those uppr floor stones were suddenly tranferred to the floor boards. Do you get it now?
@@thewatchman6074I got it the first time... 😆
@@carltonshell1964 Er?,...right?,...OK?
It's funny to see Brady with a hardhat, ear protection and dust mask and the Italians without anything. It brings back fond memories of seeing my dad execute his craft (without any real protection either) but mandating I wear all the PPE he can find.
Omg! The amount of anxiety I had for yall while watching this episode! We have a 142 yr old house and I know what renovation entails. You guys are champs!!!!
Did stone walls here on the family home in Australia for 6 years...
Never... and I mean NEVER again. We had to go and collect the rocks we used. We unearthed venemous snakes, centipedes like coathangers, unhappy spiders, you name it, we uncovered it. Fortunately, never ended up in hospital because of any of those things. Usually letting the creature concerned have the rock back temporarily ended any issues.
My brothers and I did get a great workout doing it, but that was OK when you are 20. Now... well...
So "Voyagers". I respect your adventerous spirit and your "Learning Along The way"...
Letting you lil girls participate will give them an education of a lifetime. When it comes time for them in their lives when they need a house/apt or whatever, they will remember these days and be able to forward think projects they might be considering.
Again, I admire what you are doing...
Brotherly love from Australia...
Wow! Some scary moments, as it looked like the whole wall was going to collapse. Great job!
This is absolutely awesome, quite insane, no hard hats, no fear. Maybe just a little? Are you still alive? Yes! Very good! I would love to see a before, up until now time lapse with some blues'y rocky folk music going on in the background. Iv'e been watching and liking since you were digging out the ground floor. You guys are in the making of a beautiful family home and your kids are going to be so proud of you.
Loved how Mom's and daughter's mouths fell open at the same exact moment when seeing the opening!!! Amazing work performed by all!!!
Getting so excited guys!! Really coming along beautifully👌 your stone masons know exactly what they're doing 💯 Bravo!🇮🇹
Very exciting developments
Bradey it coming together. Gob bless you & God bless your Family. Alexa & Chloe are getting so big. See you all on the next video
I absolutely believe you when you say it will be beautiful when done. Especially with those two master stone masons working with you. The outer walls look amazing, can't wait to see their skills on the inner. You should jokingly ask the one whether he gets confused for Pedro Pascal.
I think Ive become emotionally attached to these two stone tradesman.
It never ends! Complete one job and it creates three more. Don’t lose your enthusiasm. Good luck in all your endeavors. Work safe!
This just strikes me as "doing things right the first time around". Nice job.
Opening that door reminds me of the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun" when renovating an old farm house to expand the door arch, the worker said "Si, Boom Boom Boom" and at one part when they opened it up they all ran outside with a ploom of dust following behind, after the last rock tumbled he said "Ok yes" lol
I don't know what you are paying that guy but he is worth every Euro.
My wife and I are such fans we look forward to each episode you guys never disappoint
Wow! Looks crazily dangerous, hard work and great fun when you get the ending you were hoping for. Well done. Can't wait for next week.
Bob (UK)
You know, giving us 30 minutes of video is priceless. I wish they could be longer. I really enjoy them❤❤❤
Hard hats on construction sites in the UK a minimum plus high visibility jackets and reinforced toe cap shoes.
Anche in Italia…..chi è il Direttore dei Lavori?
I was enthralled watching the walls being constructed on the addition. However, I was also enthralled with the de-construction of the interior doorways. Held my breath and gasped a few times as rocks came tumbling down. Great job, everyone!
When done your home will be beautiful and all that hard work will be in the past.
Poor guy is always between a rock and a hard place ( Sorry, I couldn’t resist). I call this show the house being built backwards. But you have to admire this couple’s spirit.
I love that you speeded up video so we could see more progress!
yes, essential..also adding some slow-mo accompanied by some Indi Folk - eg that bit with the sun rays coming thru the dust whilst they work :)
Amazing progress. Things are moving quickly.
I don’t know why, but knocking down the wall with those metal poles loos immensely satisfying, lol. Love watching the progress each week. Take care.
Wow, that was a huge job expanding the door entrance for upper and lower level doors. What a big job.
I’m always surprised with every video. I’ve wondered how stone houses were constructed. So fascinated with the process. Thank you for sharing. There are some monster stones in that wall, wow!
Omg!! Thank God that wasn’t your head right!? Love watching😊👍🏼
Maybe a pretty custom double doorway that can be opened when wanted for that flow. It does look nice open and space seems bigger.
So much light came in! Love the open concept!
This is such a huge endeavor! Glad you found experienced masons to do the job. Cheers from Minnesota!
That is very frightening.
Some hard hats might be in order!
Brilliant video as usual love the relationship you have with the craftsmen Brady you all work great together ❤
How very xciting seeing house moving along! It truly isss beautiful. B safe u guys n keep livn the dream!!
Oh my goodness, I thought the entire place was going to collapse, I actually screamed out loud watching! So thrilling, you’ve come such a long way
Is incredible the amount of love, work , time ,money you spend .
Wishing you get the rewards you deserve.🤔☘🇮🇹😉🇮🇹👏❤
I've enjoyed watching all that you have done with your restoration to date, and I'm glad to see that you finally started wearing a hard hat, that you should have been wearing from the start while working on that wall. Safety first .. always.
Amazing work and progress as always, but it terrified me watching you guys all in there, stones falling and no hard hats!!
Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful journey with us I can’t wait to see how everything turns out with your new and beautiful family home I hope that you give us a house tour
You guys amaze me in all the work you’re doing. But! Every video I find myself holding my breath in fear something will fall down that’s not supposed to.
Edit : I just noticed I’m not the only person to say this.
It was SO satisfying watching this episode (instant transformation)! Congrats guys!!! What a team!!
Godbless ur familyi realy admire both of u all iam from the phippenes
Next time show me you are sincere and wear hard hats.❤ 21:04
Amazing & scary at the same time! Glad you found a hard hat to put on😄🙌🏼
You guys will have the new doorways looking awesome in no time!
Do you think that one more year will find you in your home? When you're ready, in a few years, to build something else your skills as a stonemasons will be so appreciated! You hired two really hard-working men to help you and teach you! Love these continuing videos.
I have been watching very closely all your videos and I finally seen it a WURTH product iam from Ontario Canada and work for the company .Enjoying every minute of this Reno thanks you , we are part time contractors also my wife and I
Keep the doors huge!!!!!
Unbelievable! In one day!
The only word that comes to my mind about today's video is "Awesome!"
A good pair of steel toed shoes would be nice! Keep calm and carry on!😊
good thinking
Always excited to see what you're doing next!😂❤😮
Love your vision❤ And your grit & determination. You rock! (Pardon the pun). 😅😊 The progress is amazing as well as your attitudes. I really enjoy your sharing. Thank you 🙏🏼 Both of you ((Hugs)) ❤ xoxo 🇨🇦🍀😎🥰😊
Great teamwork. Well done Team.
Bravo!!! A dream coming true!!
I would surely have a hardhat on! Shoulder pads too!
My only question is why you didn’t have a fan pulling the dust out of the room and blowing it out side???
So good to see that you have professional help! Bless you.
Wow! Wow! Wow! 😮
I cant wait to see the final look of the house😊
You will look back on this time and wonder how you got through it all! Just want to mention, good to see you wearing protective gear. Your lungs will thank you 😁
Judging by the tone of your voices, I hear giddiness.
That's just great!
Your home will be a masterpiece when complete.
Your hired help are wonderful.
Without them something tells me the dismantling the inside would've more like a VERY LONG game of Zenga. 😂I
All kidding aside you 3 don't mess around.
So exciting !
