We have finished opening all of the doorways! This last door marks the end of the stressful teardown process and has completely transformed the exterior (and interior) of our stone house.

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 admire how this channel has become more about the work and craftsmen getting the jobs done.
Same here ! I absolutely LOVE this turn !!!
Absolutely, you get to know the people anyway without the focus being on them. We get so see what we are here to see, the building work, good job again to these guys.
Hope they go to a few interesting places this summer ...I love a good adventure!! 😉💗💛💙
I wonder if these master stone masons realize how famous they are becoming? That older guy pits all the young guys to shame, very impressive.😊😊😊😊😊😊
There is no substitute for experience.
He certainly never seems to need a "pausa", and he clambers up that scaffolding like a mountain goat!
Ты идиот? Как может быть парень пожилым?! Это врё равно, что называть женщину (замужнюю, рожавшую, проститутку - имеаших первый сексуальный контакт с мужчиной) - девушкой!!!😮
I can't believe how hard you've worked at it, but it's paying off. Your home is going to be absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. What a gorgeous setting!
This Stone House is going to be Magical and Magnificent!
We all can imagine concrete pouring, stone shaping, and beam hacking! LOL You're doing a great job both in working with the stone masons and speaking Italian!
So true! I thought the same with the Italian!
Those workers are hard working men and great sense of humor
It’s so amazing how you’ve changed so much on the house but it looks like it was always like that! Your masons are true masters and your attention to detail is well worth the effort. It looks so good!
Those beams will last another 500 years!!!
What a welcome bonus. Guys ... the views from that terrace .... stunning.
I thought the same, what a wonderful view.
We enjoy rhe view watching
the guy with the cigarette in his mouth was working with the flame in hand.
Of all the homes being renovated on You Tube, this is my most favourite house. I can just feel the vibe.
Me too. It shows what renovating can be ...a long hard slog but rewarding in the end.
Signore Tarpaper has a supremely relaxed approach to workplace health and safety. The beams look beautiful, Brady. Superb editing, Heather!
😂😂😂 smoking while using a giant blow torch and also casually throwing it aside. But we saw nothing! 🙈
I figure that his jeans are made of Nomex.
I'm guessing either the Italians don't have a Health & Safety Executive... or their HSE is more a series of informal guidelines and not Law lol
Please do not apologise for not filming as we are all in awe at what your accomplishing... end of...
Oh my, mystery solved! Your team is so excellent, they are so good natured and accepting of the day’s effort. No matter how brutal! Really! Or how precise! They manage it all! The sheer excitement of watching those huge beams get placed Was awesome. I could watch those videos again and again. And, I understand not getting everything on camera….truly, you all must be exhausted! I just love those men! Such excellent work they do! Hugs to them all, and to you two, Brady and Heather.
Would love to see more of the craftsmanship of the stone cutters! WOW! Truly a work of art!
It feels like Christmas present with episode today
Surprise 😂 we just had too much going on! Another video Sunday!
I was surprised to see this in my feed as well! 😊
Wooow!! Que sorpresa!! No lo podia creer!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 genial chicos gracias!!❤❤❤
Ignore if I'm the only one wondering about the following:
Bradey, you once mentioned working in construction while you were in college. What did you study and what did your family survive on during your years of travel?
When did you become interested in hewing beams and building with stone? How will you use these skills once the house is complete?
Great questions ❤❤❤❤ I want to know ttttooooo!!!!😊😊
I imagine yt pays pretty well ...especially if the channel is popular. I think Brady is a bit of a "Jack-of-all-trades. Don't know what Brady studied in college ...but somehow Engineering/&/or architecture seems like a good fit.
Watching these guys work reminds me of my young days as a graduate engineer working with European migrants in Australia, I had the book learning but they had years of on the job training, that I quickly learned was far more valuable than what I thought I knew. I was dubbed the apprentice, a nickname I still value 50 yrs on. Chaio Bella
What a happy surprise finding a new video, and it's not even Sunday!!🎉
Hi Guys. I have spent the last 5 years doing a reno. I take my hat off to you, how you are in there doing it. No chequebook out just paying the bills and saying we did this and that. Truly hard graft. Doing and getting what you want. That's why I like watching what ya doing. You will get there and it will be amazing. Super congrats from NZ.
You are Blessed to have such diligent workers.
The gentleman with the flame thrower is the kind of guy I love with his relaxed, cigarette in mouth, whilst operating the flame thrower, you could imagine him about to light his cigarette with it. Your Italian is amazing and the crew are amazing. We have all become attached to those men and I wonder if they know how much we have appreciated their skill on their work they are truly artisans in their field. I love how as they are carrying the last beams up and I think they are saying 'why Brady, why' ha ha. Their humour and yours throughout has made your days and ours. Did you all throw a party when those last beams for the doorways were put in Brady, I bet you are all glad that was the last one. They are stunning. Now to give Heather an applause on her work behind scenes of editing, Heather you are not forgotten in this process. All the hours of editing, work and keeping the home ticking is what makes it easier for Brady so he can concentrate on the build. Have a lovely day to the crew, Brady and Heather.
Nice job getting an episode out early. Rebuilding the stone house is already enough work!
I have to say... that I am AMAZED that you get ANYTHING filmed at all, there is SO MUCH going on!! With building (and ALL THAT THAT ENTAILS!!) and filming plus editing plus daily life, meals, children, a tiny bit of down time... I don't know HOW YOU DO IT ALLLLLLL!!!!! Brava, Bravo, Bravi, Bravissimo!!! My hat is off to you!
As an old man now able to do most everything myself in the past I certainly take my hat of to what you are achieving young man.
Same to those helping you especially the older man doing it with vigor and no complaints, respect to you Sir.
This is definitely one of my favorite channels to follow being inspired by what can be done , even with a very old Barn.
Only the best wishes for the future from a retired South African Boer.
Honestly When I first started watching I thought there's no way! Now I stand corrected! I am amazed at how far you've come
All those wood door headers dress up the stone walls, you are creating your own little castle in the mountains. Thank you for the bonus video. A domenica
Much less scary then the last one. Congratulations. Well done.
Yeah for real! The last episode had me on pins and needles! Thought for sure the whole wall was going disintegrate into a pill of rumble!!! How Heather and Brady put so much trust into the craftsmen renovating their home is amazing to watch!
Those handcrafted ( by you !!!!) wood beams are COLLOSAL. It's magnificent.
Lovely surprise for a Friday evening, have a great weekend 👍
Surprise, surprise! Glad that you couldn't wait to show us such a milestone. Have a great weekend!
Heather when you smile, your whole face smiles! 😃
Once again.....bravo. I"m so glad you gave a shout out to your crew....I've been blown away by old world craftsmanship. Loved the tar paper guy using un unlit propane torch to blow away the dust while smoking. I noticed him walking down the stairs with a wine bottle....go figure. Totally enjoying this Voyage.
Remains of his lunch, no doubt!
Do not forget the like dude 😊😊😊😊they deserve it.
Your skills are just as impressive as the workers. Bravo
I like this method of supporting the upper stones better than the previous door. Always learning as you go! These new doorways are magic!😍🇨🇦
Wow. Great to see the beams in place that Brady took so much time to find, cut, shape, preserve, and install.
All the workmen are great - competent and full of character. The tar paper laying expert is today’s tradesperson highlight - the propane leaf blower, the cigarette, and then exiting the work area holding a bottle of wine 12:10. Nice.
No apology necessary, Bradey, you were gettin’ shizz done!!!
The work is very impressive and certainly does not appear as old stone and new stone.
I did question your sanity while admiring your perseverance❤️
So impressed with your builders and the way you have been working with them, your motivation to get the work done shines through!
Your Italian must be coming on so much as well. Well done!
I love the older Italian man working with you, you make a good team
Loved the Friday surprise video! The craftmanship is fantastic. How in the world did you find 2 guys that are absolute professionals at stone work?
Brady, don't worry about not filming some of it. We get the picture. It is great to see all you all got done. I felt for you all with those heavy beams. All of the work looks fantastic. Those masons are amazing. I was reminded how some of my patients would walk out with their oxygen tanks for a smoke when I saw the guy smoking using the flame thrower as a leaf blower. I am not criticizing, just telling you my story.❤
It's an end of May Miracle! Friday video! Woop woop!
Brady and Heather, what you’ve accomplished and achieved in the renovation to bringing this antique structure up to code as a “home” is truly inspirational! I found you 3 years ago from The Newbys.
Truly Amazing! What a majestic view your home blesses you to enjoy for many generations to come!!!
The hero’s helping you are loved and admired by all of us‼️‼️‼️
Wow, what a surprise!!! So much hard work. And what we like is that you put so much evert into this house. Every time you just on the job. 2 / 3 years from now, you will look back with so much pride. Thank you for the update.
Greetings from South-Africa 👋🏻
In addition to the transformation featured in this video, I would like to mention the transformation of your physical fitness. There's being "in shape" for us mortals, but being in "construction shape" is next level stuff in my opinion. You've done it and your efforts,I pray, will pay dividends beyond your wildest dreams. Well done!
Tante belle cose.
The views are stupendous.
Oh how wonderful it's looking. I sure hope we get another video on Sunday, but fully understand if we don't. So thrilled for you kids. You absolutely deserve a beautiful home after all the blood, sweat, and tears you've shed getting this far in your endeavors. 🌹🌼🍄❤️😊
Thank you for suprise video🙂
Considering how much time it takes you to stop for filming, I totally understand how it can be skipped. You are focused on what you are doing - which is to be expected. Good on you for taking time off for yourselves. You work very hard & the stress needs a break. Cheers. Much love ❤ 🇨🇦😊 xx
It’s coming together beautifully! I can’t believe all the hard work you’ve all been doing. ❤
When finished this rebuilt house will survive a 100 yrs reflecting the sweat,multi lingual grunts and sheer efforts and skill put in❤
Those beautiful beams really bring it all together. Well done you.
Do all of you sport hernias now!!!!! What a job! And how beautiful it turned out! I’m in awe! ❤
Dude! I CAN NOT BELIVE how hard you work and with those massive stones! Sometimes I can’t even watch because it makes me exhausted! Haha! You deserve serious kudos!
My uncle was a mechanic, so he used to work on my cars when I was younger and he would have that hood open leaning over the engine with it running, sometimes smoking a cigar that was hanging out of his mouth! L O L
Thank you so much for the surprise Friday evening video update! I absolutely love the doorways! Can't wait to see doors on and the floor downstairs done!
AMAZING!!! The house is looking AMAZEBALLS!!! Your contractors are freakin AMAZING!!! Well done Brady.
A magnificent dance getting that beam in place! Bravo!
Totally loved this video. First, I was surprised to get a new one before the weekend. Then I was blown away by the scenery of the valley, even though you've shown it many times before. I was intrigued by the laying of the tar paper with the torch, and, of course, held my breath while you men struggled with the heavy beams. I still remember the early videos where you guys are digging out the cow muck. You have made sooo much progress, and it is amazing. Looking forward to seeing the doors installed.
I agree with everything you said.
So consider copy/paste of your comment 😊
Ci vediamo domenica.
👋👋 Saluti e Grazie per la bella sorpresa 😍
A bonus video on Friday… Thanks so glad the old door did not fall on u.. The effort to get those beams in place was thrilling.. everything looks great…
It is so great to see the house in the sunshine from the front with all the window openings. It shows a home coming through that is much bigger than I could actually imagine. You will have a great time in this house especially because of all the effort you have made yourselves. ❤
It was a wonderful surprise to see you today already. 🎉
Your helpers are simply amazing to watch. They really know their craft. I don't know how you found them but well done all.
Congratulations on completion of all the door entrances and the archways!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Yes, very inspirational with lotsa hardwork and planning...the view is out of this world, would luv to see some sunset pics...
Wow! You're a couple of days early. What a pleasant surprise! Enjoy your weekend!😊
So I watched until the end...😂
Can't wait to see what you will share on Sunday!
You're one amazing man. You work so hard for your family.
What a great surprise ❤️❤️ I love these stone mason’s , I could watch them everyday ❤️❤️❤️
Incredible!!! Such a labour of love!!! 🤗🎶❤️🎶❤️🌻🌻🌻🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
How lovely! I'm never unhappy to see you more than once in a week!
You have blue skies! Who did you have bribe to get that? Lol! Do you guys know how to build without it tipping down in buckets? That must be a major relief! Brady, you guys have done monumental amounts of work with moving huge loads of concrete, tons of rock, insanely large lintels, and sheer sweat equity...in the pouring rain! Take a breather! See you Sunday!
Blessed Be!
The house is fast becoming really baeutiful! Good work!
Your vista is awesome. The house looks great with variegated stones and colorful new lentils.
Cant imagine, it's a real masterpiece...the reflections...the paintings alone with the 'donkey'...magnifico...
I went back to your first video of this voyage you are on. The excitement, Bella braying a couple of terraces down, the kids etc etc. Today continued transformation. Everyone that follows you are anticipating the finished product! Thank you for sharing this amazing journey!
Just watching you walk upstairs with the beams makes my knees hurt!! Love your journey so much. I was blessed to spend a year a Firenze during college. Italy is so special. Hugs.
My daughter went to Florence in 2001 for a study abroad program in college, also. She LOVED it! Thought she had gone to Heaven!!! It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world ...so many arts & crafts workshops. After her program finished, she stayed the whole summer and worked in one ... repainting antique furniture & painting new furniture made to look like antiques. In her free time, she copied works of the masters and painted landscapes.
Your house looks amazing
Great vid as always guys the craftsmanship going into the house is top notch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful doorways,but they sure are a lot a scary work tearing out the old stones.
I love the work ethics you all have, I am anxiously awaiting your doors and windows. Great job so far
Looks great, I too would have wondered if the stones would still look like they always belonged... but they do! Good job!
Oh my goodness you pooped me out this week. All of you lifting those beams were impressive. Having a door hit you on your vack to boot. Happy now of you were hurt. I was cringing when I saw the support beams move. An exceptional group you have there. I definitely see how your both are now getting so excited. I was right you took some time off. Happy you did that because its is good to get recharged. Great vision for sure. Can't wait for the finish now!
Che meraviglia! È così stressante trasportare gli architravi su per le scale e posizionarli sopra le porte. Great great video - to look back at in the years to come. You can see the stress on your face as you man handle those beams and having to cope with a language that you are still coming to grips with. I am so impressed with your grit and determination. Just amazing!! Oh and the Italian workers - haha. I grew up in a small country town in Australia where about 50% of it's population were Italian immigrants. I loved everyone of them. Such a rich and old culture and yes many unique ways of doing things , and yes propane is very flammable. Oh dear loved it.
Absolutely incredible work by you and the team!
Amazing can’t wait to see it finished many blessings from North Texas ❤
Wow this is a Friday afternoon treat 💗
Is it Sunday?😂😂😂😂😂
Surprise!! 😂😂😂🙈
@@RaisingVoyagers lovely surprise ❤️
I had to think twice!
I was about to say the same thing 😂
Me too I was shocked I completely stopped watching what I was watching lol
Out of any renovation I’ve seen on HGTV or U-TUBE this on surpass any I’ve ever watch the dedication and hard work that Brady demonstrates along with the professional stone masons matches anyone. Great job and the support Heather offers is outstanding in a foreign country trying to raise your daughters in school and social events is very inspiring she sets the bar high for others to follow… from a 72 year old Italian Noni living in Annapolis Maryland USA… watching you every Sunday looking forward to next week’s video, take care and may God Bless you and your family, ciao 🙏🏼
This is going to be an awesome house with stunning views !! ❤
Yahoo! A bonus video! What a great surprise for Friday afternoon!
Brady, filming is literally your job! If you’re forgetting to do it you are burnt! Please take better care of yourself!! I’m glad you took some days off! 💞🦋🕊✌🏼
It's looking really beautiful. Great work!!!
Lovely surprise on a Friday...
I am from Taiwan and have watched dozens of episodes of the construction process~~
I know how many problems and difficulties we have to overcome between the two floors and the new addition! As a homeowner, and being able to put in so much labor ~ it is a very fulfilling renovation process !
I wish you a beautiful and comfortable home....with a bird's eye view of the valley !!
我來自台灣, 看了幾十集的修建過程~~
知道兩樓之間與新的增建, 要克服多少難題, 難度有多大! 身為屋主, 又能投入如此多的勞動~是很充實的改建過程 !
祝福您們~有一個美麗又舒適的家....,可以鳥瞰山谷美景 !!
Very exciting! Thanks for the bonus video. Such impressive work. I can imagine you all would need a reprieve.
Each video it’s a big surprise. Your dream and image is developing in front of our eyes. Where I am so impressed with the incredible work you are doing, the question that has always remained has been if you are allowed to remain in Italy?
Looks amazing loving the beams for the doors . Things moving on quite quickly love it . Well done you should be very proud of what you have achieved👏😘
Once y'all get the house done, you'll have decades of video fun with terraces, sheds, etc.
Sunday on Friday??? Great! Call the beams “3 MAN BEAMS”! The men are more than stone masons, that are artisans! They are old school! The BEST! To see you work right along side them speaks volumes of who you are and how far you have come in this restoration. You have life long skills that can only be achieved by hands on, get in the middle of it and participate! This is better than any movie one could watch….hell I’ve learned all kinds of things especially how these wonderful building were build along time ago and how they are still build, not like here in the U.S. with our OSB walls and pro panel roofs! Because you have shared with us, I have fallen in love with Italy! I also watch Martijn Dollard and love his channel also! Thank you so much and we will not get tried of watching each step. Remember, if you are going to put down another water proof membrane, don’t forget to have the lighted cigarette in your mouth! Ha Ha! Love till n next time.
