Creating a New Doorway in our Stone House. 

Reply to Adako..we don't appreciate you negative comment.. this family is working so hard to fulfill their dream and I/we who watch eagerly every week love them. I say keep talking! ❤❤❤

I gotta say, your Italian Craftsmen continue to amaze me. AS well as the skill you've all developed.

you guys have come a long way and can’t wait to see the completed livable house. May Lord’s blessings be upon you all!

Thr fact that you keep keep lifting those huge stones, day after day, says you are not only strong but determined! Your progress is beautiful and sending prayers for your continued health and safety!

Glad to hear the good news about your dad. I will continue prayers for him.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 So happy to see you back! Your home is really coming along beautifully!❤😊

Put dried lavender in your windowsill to keep scorpions away

I can’t wait to see your house finished, it will be stunning !!❤

I am so happy to see you back and the good news that your father is in good spirits and doing better

Am so sorry your dad is fighting through a health issue and I do hope and pray for resorted health. Great progress with a great team!

You are lucky because you have bought the house in an area famous in Italy for the skill of the bricklayers. They really know their stuff.

So happy to see Heather is back and that her dad is doing ok. Bradey, nothing daunts you - you are amazing!

It is so great that you have such fantastic and experienced construction partners to help get your home to 100% comfortable and livable!!! I’ve really been enjoying watching their skilled work! You will have such wonderful family memories being built in your home!!!

Seeing all those stones, makes you appreciate how hard the original builders must of worked without the tools we have today.

Welcome back Heather we missed you.. so happy to hear your dad has improved and we all wish him a full recovery ❤️‍🩹 take care and God Bless 🙏🏼

Goodness. You've taken on this latest part of your build with intelligence and wisdom. Language skills, building skills, thought processes, how much we have all learnt, and this is now becoming surprising sudden. Each week we see real developments. You both look so pleased, and we are pleased for you.

Glad to see you back Heather and I am so happy your dad is getting better and I am sure Brady is happy to have you back again, I think he threw himself into his work to make the time go quickly till you came home. Love watching those contractors do their skills. Have a lovely day.

That mechanical manual operating baby dump truck is such a helpful tool. It really makes much of movement of big rocks easier and saves your back.

Hi from Australia, I can't believe how hard working you are. It is heavy dirty work, you and the crew who are working for you are amazing and very skilled. Welcome back Heather, I have been following you guys for quite awhile now and it's good to see your dream coming into reality. Great job sending many blessings 🙌

The skill of the trades is awesome and great to watch you must be learning so much Heather lovely to see you take care of each other 💙❤️🩷🩷

A good old Fiat Panda 4x4 is all you'll ever need to tackle any road in life

So glad you are using help now, it’s been such backbreaking work for you. The older gentleman seems to know what he’s doing too. Very professional. He also sounds like he’s full of mischief!

Welcome to the world of remodeling! There’s a reason they call it a four letter word, WORK!😂👍

Heather and the girls had the most fun pouring the concrete. Something they will always remember!

I enjoy seeing these guys work like it’s just another day. Great attitudes and skill. They work silently with such momentum and seemingly in unison. On this ancient stone house like it’s any other normal home they’d be building. It’s beautiful.

I enjoy and envy your extreme dream to renovate and build this beauty in Italy. Your determination is astounding. Heather and kids so helpful and I can see that you are proud of them. Blessings from South Africa.

I take my hat off to you hardworking men💪🏻💪🏻

Great to have you back Heather your man really missed you and so did we. Best wishes for your dad’s recovery💕

What determination you have in this project. I don’t know of anyone who would have gone through all of this work to make this into a home. The way you face each challenge is phenomenal. Also your family’s support and willingness to help you.

Welcome back, Heather! Glad your dad’s prognosis is good. What an interesting video! I agree with Heather - it’s beginning to feel more like a house than a barn.

That cement mixer is worth its weight in gold

Such energy and determination! Really admirable. You don’t seem to get tired always enthusiastic and positive - kudos to you!

Oh Lordy, thank goodness the rain came in now and not later!!!! Awesome!!!

Have you considered leaving this stone building as it is, now that it has been fortified, and making the addition to the house the main living space? I think it will be easier to build with modern materials which allow for more window light, better insulation and easier installation of modern utilities and wiring. You could use the stone structure as a storage space for tools, a work studio or a summer house. You can spend a lot of money trying to insulate and water proof that structure, and it will still be dark, cold and small. Or completely fail in is waterproofing or something else.

A can of worms, bordering on a hilarious folly! May your incorrigible positivity protect you from despair!

You can tell that Heather is such a beautiful person. I’m so glad her father is doing better. I’m still here, week after week, watching your progress. What am I going to look forward to watching with my morning tea before church after your home is completed?!! I am happy to see how far you’ve come. That salamander though!! I couldn’t imagine waking up to that thing. I live in Arizona so I’m use to scorpions. I just have a lot of lavender. Continued prayers for you all. Be safe 🙏🏽

Hi from South Africa 👋👋It's lovely to have you back Heather🤗Happy that your dad is doing ok🙏🙏 Brady you must be so tired at night. You work as hard as the guys you pay to do the job. You're doing such a good job. Love you all❤❤

I’m an Italian living abroad for 7 years now. In my childhood I spent a lot of time hiking with my family in Corni di Canzo, not far from where you are I really miss those little salamanders.

I would describe what this American family is doing in Italy as heroic. Great stuff. I'm watching with a great deal of interest. And I like it. At their age to move to another country with a different language and culture is to be admired.

Amazing progress. Amazing teamwork. My favorite day of the week . Waiting always for your videos to have my Sunday’s espresso coffe. Blessings from Miami

Prayers for your dad’s speedy healing and recovery 🙏

That was an impressive video. I am amazed at how quickly things are progressing. The weather is always an interesting addition to any building site. The upstairs doorway makes sense in terms of sheer weight on the door below. Very cool. Enjoy the coming week. Blessed Be!

This channel is so exciting! Pray for complete healing for your dad!

I'm so glad you don't have to do all that new flooring on your own, Brady! Sending you love & healing energy for your father, Heather. 🙏😍🌈

Hard work done right!!!! I admire all the work that you have been doing.

This is one of my favorite channels! I love following this Journey you guys are on. Wow!! All the hard work but I know it’s going to be worth it!! Thank you for all you do so that we could go along in this Journey. ❤👍🏼

hard work done, wife back after everything. Much respect for you doing everything alone!

Nice to see Heather back, wishing your Dad a successful recovery. I think the concrete floor that Heather and the girls did was great and very important as the new floor has gone on top of it. Good that you were able to change plans slightly to create the french drain for the additional leak you found. The opening of the door was very dramatic and I found that a bit scary, seeing how easily the bricks fell, hope opening more and larger areas goes well x

Brady I almost had a heartattack when they were puling that door down! Question: I can't remember, did you know there was a door there already??? Heather, you're back, I've Missed you. Sending good vibes and prayers to your Dad. Can't wait to see the girls!

You should keep the salamander as a pet, he's probably cold. I love watching the progress each week

I believe RU-vid suggested your channel a year ago because I love house renovations and I am following Martin, the guy from the Netherlands who lives in Piemonte. I rediscovered this channel and I stayed to watch your videos because of the people you have there working for you. It brings me so much joy to see man shine at what they do best and also see people just do their job well. I don't know when I will afford to buy a house in Italy but I hope to be able to work with that small company to restore or build a stone house. I also like your family, positive and down to earth, we need more families like that. God bless you!

Super terrifying watching the doorway being reopened! I expected the whole house to collapse!😬

Great job! And Heather , I hope you’d dad will do wonderfully on his healing ❤️‍🩹

This family is amazing. They have a stone building that most would take down & building a home for their family. They work so hard & we should be proud they are sharing their journey with us.

Best wishes from India. I’m so glad that Heather’s papa is doing good and it’s good to have you back.What an amazing transformation will that be to your home with a huge opening with an arch👍🏼 can’t wait to see all those beautiful rocks used to build the wall. Looking 👀 forward to your next video🙂

Wow! You guys made so much progress. The arch door will be beautiful! Good to hear your father is doing better. 🙏

Really appreciate the absence of promotional slot this week as my heart always sinks when you do that. Good to see Heather back. ❤

It is great to have you back Heather! Brady, you and the craftsman you are working with are amazing! Heather, we are praying for your Dad and you and all of the family. Thank you, guys, for bringing us along.❤

Wow!!! There is SO MUCH involved in your building process!!! KUDOS!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🏡🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Fantastic job today despite all the rain! Lots of progress.👍 Heather, sending wishes for your father's health.🤗❤

Wow what a lot of work. So many changes. Welcome back Heather…glad to hear your dad is stabilized. I really enjoy watching your progress.❤️🇨🇦

The idea to have a kitchen door with an arch sounds so lovely! Truly an Italian style home.😊 Great job!👍

Wow, you guys have had a lot of progress with the floors. It’s good that it rained a lot to identify the rain seeping into the kitchen space and you taking action on that issue! This rebuild is amazing and nothing I’ve ever seen before. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

If you had known all the extra things you have had to do to keep your new home dry, would you have gone ahead with the purchase. It certainly has been a lot of physical work for everyone.

I am so in ahhhh with this whole process!! Everything is just so wild! I’m love it!! The older man working..God Bless him! He works so hard at his age. They just don’t make men the way they use too! ❤

I love the 'can-do' attitude, skills and work ethic of the craftsmen helping you with this project. The are an inspiration, and seem to be enjoying what they do.... Instead of packing up and going home early, they say "Hey, let's get this door knocked out!" Not taking anything away from you and your family. You too are inspiring to watch all the hard work you do...

You have almost recreated a Roman hypocaust underfloor heating system. You just need to fan force warm air under through those 1m terracotta channeling and out an exit vent.

Hello, Good Morning it's wonderful to see you again. I hope everyone is well and I am sending well wishes and hugs to all from Michigan. Let's Go, You got this! Heather, I am in recovery from cancer last year was hard, to say the least, but that said I am thankful your videos helped me a great deal. The treatments are difficult but with a good support system, a positive mindset, and understanding you most likely will feel worse to get better strangely helped. Eyes on the prize, restored health, and time with your family and friends. Thank goodness for the doctors, since medical advances and everything else it is a battle that can be won to varying degrees. Praying for you and your family.

From West Virginia: congratulations on finally getting to the point where you are pouring your new concrete floors. I know it's a major milestone for you guys.

Wow some hard working men. I’m impressed. I bet they have no trouble sleeping at night.

Hello from Canada Thoroughly enjoy watching your channel. From what we can see you are both wonderful parents . Thank you for bringing us along for your journey. Prayers for your father. 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻

Moving faster must make it so much more enjoyable having these two experienced builders working with you. You also are like an ever ready battery.

Your story is delightful, your work is so honorable! Bless you!!!

Get yourself a common saw and cut those cement bags in half. Easy to lift and way faster than trying to hold up the large heavy bag. No paper shreds to deal with ether. Love the old stone buildings.

Thoughts and prayers sent to your Dad and your family.

Such a difference removing those walls. It looks fantastic. You have really hard working people working along side you too. It will be a lovely home.

Fantastic to see that Heather smile! I'm blown away by how fast things are moving along. It's so exciting! Relieved Heather's dad is doing better. Continued prayers. ❤😊

What a difference by doing the opening for the doorway . It will be stunning for sure.. Glad ti hear your dad doing ok Heather big hugs to you and your family🫂 Loved watching💯😘

Such wonderful progress with the team helping out. So grateful that your home Heather and your dad is on the mend ❤

And how satisfying it must be, to create your family's home, with your own hands! Well done!

I was wondering if you could maybe put a water proofing coating on that back wall, like when someone wants to waterproof a basement, that might just work, will save you alot of work and a headache, you might need a little bit of other work or several coats of sealant, I think you should consider it.

The "waiting" is a big part of the experience. Tuning in to the slow steady revolving rhythm of life on Earth is the key to happiness, in my humble opinion. Your progress has been remarkable and careful and thoughtful. Speediness is not an essential part of the journey, and impatience doesn't help at all. Enjoying the process is key! Thank you for sharing all of this with us!

Brady & Heather, I feel your excitement!!!! Congratulations on this new milestone on your house and am so thrilled that you all have now reached this new milestone of experiencing the actual openness, light and flow of your house. I am taking a week mini-pause in my own 170 yr. old house restoration, and vicariously living this Italian Stone House journey with your family. ❤

Great progress this week and good to hear it's lifted your spirits, the job you have chosen to turn this barn into your home is monumental and would be daunting to most people but you both have a vision and wonderful to see it starting to move along so quickly. Healing hugs and prayers to your Dad, Heather, and I hope he continues to improve each day xx

I’m glad you’re getting help with the building work even though it will cut into your budget. By the way I’m very impressed with your Italian. 😊

Im so excited for you all! I enjoy watching the progress! Nice to see you once again Heather! Prayers for your dad's speedy recovery!! 🙏🙏🙏 Blessings from New Hampshire USA! 🫂☺️❤️

You have the best attitude! It is so inspiring to watch you go through this. "We can just jackhammer it later" -- wow!

Sweet girl you are so precious. Will pray for your father and family!!

Prayers for Heather’s dad. The progress & extreme building process is fascinating! Love it all! From: Alabama, USA

What great video! Also from The States, this kind of building construction is completely new to me, and I am in awe of you being brave enough to tackle this! That and the critters that also find this an awesome place to call Home!!! Hopefully any inner walls you'll build will separate your home from theirs! Heather, I didn't know your dad is having health issues. I'm so sorry and will pray for him and you and your family. Looking forward to seeing that beautiful arched doorway, and whatever you have in your plans next!

Man i hope those 2 muratori are well payed...they work hard

I admire your tenacity! Keep up the good work.

So glad to see you again Heather!🤗❤️ Really hope your dad recovers soon 🙏 Your husband and his work buddies really did a brilliant job!💪🏻 Looking forward to next Sunday!😃🤗🤗

I remain to be impressed with what you have learned and then taught us. Thank you for that. I’m 79, so will not be copying your endeavor, but I sure am enjoying your project as if I were able to voting. Thanks a bunch.

All of that ceramic tubular brick would make a really great heated floor.

I recently started watching your journey and I as extremely impressed. I use to rehab homes so I truly know that you have gone over and beyond most peoples capabilities. I know that when I did this when I was younger, much like you and your family it truly did a number on my body. I enjoy watching your efforts and accomplishments with a great deal of admiration. I only wish I could be there to help in anyway possible. I am an American female living in Turkey, my dream is to live in Italy and I am trying to make those arrangements now. I will continue to watch and I wish you and your family much happiness. God bless all of you... 😎😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏

Praying for your dad and all the family.I am so excited watching the progress on the home you are working on. Keep keeping on.Love you guys

The amount of work you guys have taken on is mind blowing. It’s going to be amazing. 👍❤️

I've just finished binge watching last 10 episodes... So excited and happy for you guys...👍👏💪🙏🏼🤗

I am overwhelmed by their willingness to work so hard for their dream!!!

Heather & your girls it's so good to see you back, I'm praying for your dad complete healing and praying for your mom. Your Home is coming together nicely with the help of local trade-ins who know how to work with the stone houses. You all work so well together. What's the name of the village close to you.
