    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.

    When we first started looking at your house project we said: oh boy! But after watching your show for several months now, all the details that you're putting in and all the expert stone masons that you've hired, this house is really going to be Exquisite! Hats off to you guys and we will continue watching your build through your journey

    The way you covered up the nasty cement on the walls was genius.

      It's pretty common here in Italy... It's a trick often used to show only part of a stone or brick wall when the rest is not as pretty (uglier stonework, old repairs or modifications, heterogeneous materials...).

      What if you 1st make the concrete flush to wall, then. Slap on concrete to mimic stones once achieved then pat on color with chalk brush sporadically using multiple colors to achieve the look of your stones

    Wow and Wow!! Seeing the stairs you did last week next the wall with the wooden lintels I had to take a breath... it's beautiful!!!!! 💥💥 Watching one of your hand hewn lintels [think that's what it's called] being put above the window you framed in was wonderful to watch. They are so beautiful!! 💥💥Then the amazing way you are covering the concrete on the upper walls with the scalloped edges to let the stone wall pop...how beautiful. You're home will be a place filled with love and laughter but also be a work of art. If you were my son I would be so very proud of you Brady. You are so open to learn. Thank you Heather for putting together this wonderful video for us. These too take an artistic skill. Hugs to you both and to your daughters. Have a wonderfully blessed week! 💜💜💙💙

You have obviously had a strong image of your new life and home in Italy for some time, and now, through your determined efforts and passion, you've manifested this dream. Go, you!!!!! You've been inspirational!!!Given the right circumstances and be much at a much younger 'age', I would have loved to have done the same thing, but viewing your videos each week, has been truly wonderful. Hmmm! Perhaps my next life! 😛 You are authentic people and I raise a glass to you and to your Italian crew. Best wishes from Lee (Australia) 👏🏻

You are very lucky to find them, especially in this day and age, but they are from that area. Much of the old ways of doing things are lost. It’s amazing watching the house come together. Waiting in anticipation to see the progress each week.

    “Yeah, that looks safe…”
    And I think it was probably was just fine.
    That said, on top of all the weight of the concrete and stone you lift every day, you also carry the weight of your family living far from home.
    One of your greatest assets is your “back” - i.e. your health. Your precarious perch on that sawhorse is a good metaphor for the precarious perch you’re building on the side of the mountain. Your family’s future is a heavy load for any dad - and you have a tenuous toe-hold on the side of that mountain. Keep safe for your family’s sake - you all have a lot riding on your safety!
    Good luck and God bless you and yours.

    That treatment looks like frosting on a gingerbread house. Very artistic!

    Just a reminder:
    Cement is wet
    Concrete is solid
    I chuckle whenever you reverse the two words. Your work is absolutely incredible and it is so enjoyable watching the construction process. This house is going to be a work of art

      Er...... well....if we're going to be pedantic.....
      .....cement is a dry powder!!!!
      Concrete is a mix, generally, of cement, sand and aggregate.... with water...!!!

    With this speed, your family could at least partially move in by Christmas. Great progress! 👍

    Happy Mother's Day! I love watching your home come together. My only 'complaint'? I wish your videos were longer! I could watch an hour or more easily!
