An apprentice. ooo... I wonder.... could he "qualify" some how?

They have made friends for life. Great young couple. Braviiiii

The way it should be. A lot of lessons to be learned by our youths. Especially some of the privileged ones who aren't taught this. How to be unselfish and give back. I thought this same thing about the workers.

You have put heart & soul into this & worked with the Italian craftsmen every step of the way & becoming so good, learning along the way. I love my Sunday night fix of your videos. Thank you, well done & keep posting. Love from Johannesburg South Africa 💖💖💖

Couldn’t have said it better myself

I was just about to make nearly the same comment!

The tradesmen we've had in our house (Piemonte) have always been of the utmost professionalism and quick too. One gave me a pretty high bid on some tiling on bathroom walls. I thought he was trying to stiff me and I took a shot at it myself. He was right. The wall needed to be replastered and the job was worth what he was bidding. I tried to get him back but he took offense that I questioned his judgment and another guy fixed my screwed up work. The flip side of this efficiency can be found in the Italian bureaucracy. They view the citizens' time as free and make you queue up endlessly and then require all kinds of useless documents/data. My theory is that it is to give the illusion of adding value.

👍

I’ve been thinking exactly the same thing for months!

Yep! Quite impressed here! Concrete is over $150 a yard now in GA, USA. I freaked when it went from $25 to $30 a yard years ago! We call it Grey Gold!

Exciting.

@@lakesidesusan6745 Oh! Lord! That is a LOT! (How thick/deep?).

Me too!!! Riveting. Isn't it crazy!? And I was hurting for them... those poor bodies!! I bet they slept well.

Wow, thank you!

I also agree. I wish you could do more per week. Any chance that will ever happen?

I wish but just way too much going on right now, maybe someday

We understand. Lots to do. We all wait and enjoy your videos. I am from South Africa. ❤❤❤

I also count the days from this video till the next. Love love love watching in awe.

That is the Italian way!!!!

Yup!

I agree with Janice. In Morton Washington, I am so anxious to see the video come Su day morning!

I totally agree, from Massachusetts, USA

And from México. Bravo!

Italians are very hard workers and also skilled. I am a descendent of them and can't wait to visit Italy.

Watching from England

Yay! Thank you!

Most impressive and very humbling, thank you for the journey ❤

I've asked that in the past,I don't think they're interested in doing that.

Some family routines should be private. I respect them for protecting their children.❤

I would live to see the area too!

@@tripletgirl2484 not sure if your new to this channel but their children have been in all their videos when they traveled everywhere before the Italy stone house and have been at the stone house all the time except now since it’s a busy worksite.

The quality work on your build is solid. These guys are excellent. I love watching this solid structure go up. A couple of the other homesteading/building channels I follow: Maya (I think she might be German or Swiss) in Portugal and Todd and Taylor in Canada (they're Canadian) have had a little or a lot of trouble with the work of their contractors and builders. It's wonderful to see that you're able to find such quality help in a country so far from home. It can be scary finding reliable help at home where you have command of the language and customs. And you have such a great attitude, as do your local helpers. Beautiful.

Looks like he's doing all the Grunt work though, He's paying them, right? Still great job Brady, you'll be proud when it's done.

So funny

@@DeborahKEgolf All of them are working really hard.

@@DeborahKEgolf I think it's clear that he's doing a lot of the grunt work and probably rightly so. He's learning and probably earning their respect by jumping in and doing what needs to be done.

You’re really progressing and it’s lovely to see their workmanship of Italian men and yourself. I hope it will stop raining so you could have some nice sunny warm days while you’re working on your homestead . Brady, you’re becoming an expert in making espresso coffee, which I truly believe that the workers appreciate it.

Amen to your comment!

A home that will last forever

I would love that also. This is my favorite channel right now. What a dream coming true.

Уea, and Brady`s making coffee in this kettle is so appetised

Melinda..who else do you watch?

I have alot I follow… The Newbys,The Scotters,LeAw Leave Everything and Wander,Mr and Mrs Adventure,Maya Feliz, Stories from the Cascina,Dream Life Portugal,Frankie off Grid, Roots Down under, MrBloke,Project Portugal,Escape to the Quinta and Domaine Sauvage (great videos, hard worker and he needs subscribers!)
