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 bought the Masterclass. Looking forward to learning from you.
Is it relevant for Australians?
I bought the course .. looking forward to learning travel hacks.. thanks
Great video team. We love it! That house is going to be epic when it’s done. 👍👍😎
Thanks so much! ❤️
Can’t imagine building this back in the day, the amount of work just moving those stones is crazy, looks really cool & thanks for sharing 👍🏼
It’s better than watch a movie 🍿 you are made so good videos 😊
Thank you!
Italy, the most beautyful country in the world. What a dream to be able do to this
The stone is gorgeous, has to be satisfying after all the hard work.
Kudos to the man of the family, he has done some hard labor on the stone house!! Bravo!
As I watching your splendid adventure, I am mourning the loss of my youth. My husband of 50+ years & I have restored/remodeled our different properties over the years. We were always considered adventurous...or crazy! Seeing what you two are doing in Italy, makes my heart sing all the while I am wishing I had another life to spend being more adventurous. Oh to be even 40 years younger! I would definitely choose to follow in your footsteps.
You & your girls are creating a stunning home & a remarkable life for yourselves. Well done! Whatever will you do when you complete the renovations?
Wishing you every speck of joy & contentment! ...do your girls need a pony? How about a pony & a 2 wheeled cart!!! 😊 Cheers!
Such an enormous transformation. The bare rock is going to be so beautiful as a back drop for every day living.
Tedious hard work but well worth it! The transformation of the stones are beautiful!
I've been watching this series for quite a long time now. It's amazing that you guys are desperate and have a full on heart to build this house! You guys deserve a sub from everybody!!
Can't wait to see this beautiful stone house when you are done 😊
I really love these videos of Bradley. He may be the most mindful person I’ve ever seen. Always level and focused and slow to react with negative emotions, and no quick decisions - always thinking things through.
The stones are beautiful
Stunning!!! Absolutely stunning!!! Kudos!!! 😎🎶🥰❤️❤️❤️🏠
I think it is great to power blast as now it reveals the pure Beauty of the stonework and all the colours of the stones! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We love the final results!!
Outstanding, removing the old mortar enhances the beauty of the natural stones, great job! Thank you for sharing, looking forward to more reveals 😊😊😊
Families like you folks puts a smile on my face, what a blessing to watch the progress and the beautiful space, your home!
I can't wait to see the finished product!❤
I don't know of anyone more multi skilled than this person.
You guys deserve a Netflix program you’re all incredible
ما شاء الله افكركم ديما زينة الله يبارك الله يكمل
Man that looks so cool, water is natures cleaner ❤
It’s looking spectacular!
That house will be so breathtaking! How amazing that you took on this challenge. It will be a treasure that you pass down through the generations.
You guys have such a strong vision. To be able to look at that blank canvas and talk about where your bed will be and the view. I really admire that.
Can't wait to see the end result, its going to be gorgeous! Putting in stained glass window on the kitchen window will look great.
Love those church bells, something so comforting about that sound. The washed rocks look so much better!!!
Wonderful wall.😮 Just I think how built this house. Each stone is precisely connected. Fantastic. Enjoy it and view is amazing too.☺️
The amount of work they put in stacking the stones is incredible!’
kiskatalin2206 it's amazing what the people living in these mountains accomplished. Just imagine the transportation with the little technical means they had a t the time. Those walls, where every stone has been placed with precision and they were just rather poor farmers, not real builders.
We took the mortar off our outside walls. The stone has another color here, it's more of an honey color, but the construction is about the same. We did joint them though and insulated the interior walls with hemp chaff and loam . The winters here in the mountains are cold and wet and while we loved our bare stonewalls in the beginning of our journey some 42 years ago, we quickly realized they were too expensive in heating materials. So we still have the beautyful stonework on the outside, but the comfort of a very efficient insulation on the inside. This also works for the summer to keep the place fresh, because once a stone wall really is heated through, it works like a stove. But of course this looks gorgeous, but, hey, experience will tell them that this will cost them enormous amount of heating material over time, and depending if they really plan to live there for their whole life, they will learn eventually.
But didn't they say that ACCORDING TO REGULATIONS, the OUTSIDE HAS to be insulated or am I rembering wrong?
I was admiring the wall to beautiful
@@bettyoliver2417 I don't know about Italy, here in France it's your choice. I personally preferred the inside for several reasons. The windows in these old houses are kind of small, so besides the insulation we put on the inside to keep heating costs(wood) lower, it also was a question of light. And our stone is a much warmer color and much lighter than theirs. I kind of wish I could put a photo in here to show the difference. It's funny though because the color of the stone can change in short distances. Our village, as the crow flies, is only three kms away, and the stones down there are very much like the stones in the video.
This is beyond awesome🙌🙌🙌
This is so worth the wait, loving the journey🙏
This is such an adventure. I look forward to watching the progress every week.
Always-you guys make my Sunday Morning Warm and Shiny 🥰 Gratitude 🙏
💜🌺💜🌺💜🌺💜🌺💜
I just love your enthusiasm for your home. What a lovely family. Thank you for allowing us to see this beautiful time in your lives. It is truly a pleasure to watch.
watching the power washing is so satisfying
Love the transformation so far. Your home is going to look gorgeous.
Plant lavender along the walls and put dried lavender in shallow boxes in all the windowsills to keep scorpions out.
Well it will be beautiful when you are done. It would make me nervous to remove so much mortar but I guess the local contractors do this all of the time so they know what they are talking about. Looking forward to the end result.
As your non-resident geologist, lol, I approve. Those stone walls are so So beautiful!!😍
I think the original builders of your house are smiling down on you for recognizing the beauty of what they did, and for saving the house.
Power washing is so satisfying. Looks amazing. Great work🤗🇨🇦
Love the power wash process. It also does away with all the dirt and daily dust building up as well, not just the old mortar etc. ?? How will you clean wall going forward once pointed. An air blower maybe?? You would not catch me dusting them time to time! Lol
Happy House!!! (I always think that houses choose people. This house is a LUCKY house to have found this family!)
Those open spaces in the walls were intentional so when they needed to do repairs or access the roof they had a place to insert the poles or planks which the used to help them climb and set up platforms.
So very amazing!
The stones are just beautiful ! I am so excited for you guys !
looks amazing ya'll are doing such a great job bringing that house to life
You are doing an amazing job compared to day 1 and you have a beautiful family. Ty for sharing your build. :)
I love the way the stones look, good job!, so clean and fresh
The end result will be very rewarding and satisfying.
This is currently THE project that I'm looking forward to seeing completed 👌🏼 🤗 😍 Love it! Thank you for letting us share in this epic journey 🙏🏼 💞
Stones look great….bet it feels nice knowing they are all so clean.
the stone walls look amazing! what a great decision !
Love the hand-crafted beams. What a difference, what a radiant beauty (well, I know that it’s also a lot of work) ❤
What an improvement! Looks amazing.
Those stone walls look amazing and looks like you have new roof which is a huge plus!
Wow! I thought the stonewalls looked good once you took all the mortar/lime off of them, but they have absolutely come alive after this power washing. I would’ve thought it would’ve caused the whole thing to tumble down into a pile of rubble. I guess that’s why it’s always good to consult the local craftsmen. Thanks for bringing us on this journey. It’s been amazingly interesting!
I think footage of safety measures like screwing the ladder down to the beams is a great thing to do
So satisfying! Great job folks!
Thank you for your podcast. I always check in with you guys when I want to slow down and treat myself to beautiful scenery. I especially love the early pcs with the goats, as my eldest brother raised goats in upstate NY and it filled my heart with joy to see them. God Bless you and your family.
I love the view of the city from your house. Keep strong and God will give you the perseverance and strength to keep going on. Love your family. Keep the church bells ringing.
The stone walls clean up beautifully. It's truly a labor of love!
Great job, guys!
Love watching your hard work you're doing an amazing job ,love your family , God bless you all xxx
Guys, thank s is by far the best decision you’ve made on the rebuild. The stone looks amazing and it was faster. I’m looking forward the seeing the final finish. Definitely hard work always pays off. Great job. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪
For wood cutting, I have a stainless steel saw that I bought from Sheffield England. I like Japanese style saws for carpentry work.
I love your wood and stone work. It encourages me to do more here.
Did you ever feel you’ve gone 2 steps ahead & 1 backward ? I started a project and what I didn’t know, I didn’t know.
That is what makes procrastination on new project so easy- be brave and know it’s 5x the effort initially assumed. You- are awesome. !!
This will be ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING when finished ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ The STONE is GORGEOUS! Hang in there! I just CANT IMAGINE each stone being strategically placed by hand 😲😩😩😩😩😀😀😀WOW! What a unique treasure! LOVE ❤️
I personally like the dark stone look , I would spray a clear coat over the stone to keep the “wet look “
I get so anxious to see you complete it..
Do not get too tired.I understand your determination and that's great.I built a house from scratch...You are indeed a hard worker..
Can't wait to see it liveable...
You are really earning your future home! - Soooo much work and drive, well done :)
Unbelievably beautiful awesome work! I am so happy for you and all of your accomplishments- You have come so far in a short amount of time, Congratulation-
Thank you so much!
Love the video! You guye inspire me to chase my dreams! ❤
Thanks so much! ❤️
Thank you my friends ❤
Thanks for sharing! What an incredible project!
Your view is awesome! Love watching your progress.
The stone looks amazing, yes a lot of work to be done but you are getting there! 🎉🎉🎉
I’ve never known anyone work so hard!
That homestead together with the background view makes it all picturesque ❤complimenti. Bravi bravi
As you were surveying the beautiful, cleaned stones in the video, and working on the hewn logs, I suddenly flashed onto an image in my head of your girls as elderly women, running their fingers over the wood and stones their Daddy had worked over so tirelessly to make them this home. What a legacy you're leaving them!
The stones are beautiful. A skylight if possible will show off and brighton up as well.
Those rock walls are beautiful! I’m so glad you went ahead and pressure washed them and I agree about the lights shining on them. So so pretty.
You have worked so hard you deserve to succeed. Hope you get your visa problem fixed soon. The Italian Govt. Should be grateful you are bringing their housing stock back to life. WELL DONE. DON'T LET THE BUGGERS GET YOU DOWN.
Great video 👍 When you come to lime mortar you might consider a injection application like a caulking gun
or air powered to get deep and less waste 😊
Yes, I think an injection-type mortar application would be better, as hand pointing it from the outside might end up covering too much stone back up.
Beautiful stone walls. Pressure washing sure is making the difference. Those hand hewn logs are so labor intensive and they also must be very rewarding.
The stones are gorgeous 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
You guys are doing a great job! I can't wait to see you all finally moved into your home and I'm sure you feel the same a lot more. I hope you don't give up, it's an absolutely magical area and I love hearing those church bells in the distance. God bless you all and the best of luck with all you do.
I hope you someday offer guest visits, as my senior knees won’t tolerate your tours.❤️
LOVE the color of the stone too!!! Good to see you have local help. What do they think of your project?
Oh my goodness how beautiful is that stone .thank you for sharing
I've been watching these series for quite a long time now.. It's been a wonderful adventure to see you guys put your heart on this build. You guys deserve subscribers from everyone!
I would think, it is hygienic for living in the home too….that has been empty for a long time …creatures have housed and marked their territory….I think you have been very wise
Have you checked out the local parish church? Structure, interior designs etc? Are your kids associating with local kids? They have the best chance now for language acquisition and help you guys out a lot. I lived in Napoli while in the Navy and navy kids could speak so fluently. Wish you all the best.
If you are big on your dream life , you want your head to the north when you sleep it will aid in dream flow & clarity with the dream !!!
What a difference the power washing has made to the stones….absolutely love how the inside of the house is beginning to look….keep up the good work!!!🎉
I love your Period ax.
I've watched a few different types of what you are doing in Portugal, but I find yours the very best. Good luck to you all
My ceiling is a cathedral knotty pine. I have oak wainscot, and wood throughout the home. But I did most of my floors in stone.
I really appreciate such diligent people like you❤
best love, best clients, best travels!!!🌿
I watch alot of renovation videos and have only ever seen one other guy hand hewn logs! Lost art for sure, but not easy on the upper body❤👏
It’s surprisingly fun! Somewhat therapeutic
@@RaisingVoyagersI keep thinking that there is no need for an exercise gym as you must have created a lot of muscle mass just doing the different tasks involved in thi house!!!
You are doing such a remarkable job!!!
Hi yall. Just love those walls, so pretty.
