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.

As a homeowner who has done renovations, my advice if you can afford to do it is to add another skylight. You will regret not doing it later on when you are enjoying the beautiful one you just put it. By the way, I absolutely love your videos and am inspired by your tenacity and dedication to excellence in building and how positive you are in this very incredible journey. As well, your children are adorable!!! Well done Brady and Heather!!!!

Now one for the master bedroom (perhaps on the front of the house with a view of the snow-capped mountains(?) 🏔💗⛰ & a smaller one for the stairwell ...I'd leave the beams in place to keep the strength of the roof ...there's still plenty of light ...but that means no opening possibility like this one seems to have.

@efiskordili4606 8 дней назад

A few weeks ago I wrote to you about the windows in the roof, the light in your house was not enough. I'm glad you finally did it. The difference now is big !!! When you have money, build another skylight. It would also be good in the future to build a large cistern for the water you will collect from the snow and rain. Make the fireplace energy sistem for heating and hot water throughout the house.A few panels for energy and you will have an ecological ,economical and autonomous house.The place where your new house is has a lot of water, wood and sun, use them.

Please think of a transom window over the bathroom door to let light into hall.

@kindlydude 7 дней назад

YES!! to the transom window!!! 💗 A transom window over the bathroom door will allow light to spill into the hallway/or next room!! Also, what about poking a couple of holes/transom windows high on the bathroom wall ...the wall that shares over the stairwell.... that would TRIPPLE the effect of that ONE SKYLIGHT .... LIGHT would spill into the stairwell as well as the other side of the bathroom with the transom window over the door!! P.S. I think "transom windows high on the wall over the stairwell would still lend privacy in the bathroom.

As a home remodel contractor fo decades watching Brady just fearlessly attack sometimes work he would be frightened to do only a few short years ago, is inspiring. And no home remodel choices of installing a skylight in a remodeled bath bring "WOW" to baths more than kitchens, hallways, etc It's always a mindblower in a bath and Brady has become quite the inspiration.
