    'NO MORE GOATS' BRADY, YIPEE. Those doors and windows are a game changer. I bet Heather and the girls will be very very happy. The gentleman building the retaining wall, sure knows his onions and what is more he is brilliant with that machine, the finish is fantastic.

I would have left the iron bars on the little window as that is such an iconic part of Italian architecture, but your house, your way, & it is magnificent.

Please convey him my admiration ! As for the aluminium doors and windows, they are perfect ; I used the same (anthracite black) when converting my ancient olive oil mill in the south of France and they really pop.

    Watching all of your videos I have learned so much about a huge variety of building techniques that are different than how we do it where I live. I have also learned, if I were to buy a small excavator, it WILL be a Komatsu! That machine is amazingly durable and maneuverable. (Yes I agree, the 'maneuverability' has a LOT to do with the man running it, and Andrea is an artist!)

    Your workers are such skilled craftsmen! They could teach us Americans a thing or two. You should have a big party at the end with all the workers. And maybe introduce them and tell us what they worked on. Love them all!

    So impressive. The look with the stone, chestnut beams, and dark window/door frames is stunning. And, my goodness, the skill of your equipment operator who built that retaining wall. That man is an artist in his own right.

    You're property is now very valuable and you can do many things with it if you choose not to live there full time or if you get denied your permanant residency!
    You probably will get your permeant residency approved because you're wonderful people!

    STOP! Don’t remove those grates on the window. That’s the cucina, no? I wish I had a grate in mine…what a wonderful place to hang potted culinary herbs! Bravo on getting the windows in. It’s a great accomplishment. Now, attention turns to the interior finishing touches right in time for winter. And so smart to create parking spots. Good job!
