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.

[@jeffrey1421]

the two stone masons have crazy skills. blending in a new doorway with the old walls is unbelievable.

I love that you're showing the masters at work, and highlighting that it is nowhere near as easy as they make it look. A lot of building skills aren't super well respected, but they should be because they are just as important and applicable today as they were 700 years ago.

My Sunday routine. I come home from church, get my coffee, and watch Raising Voyagers! My hubby knows this routine is set in stone.... watching a house of stone! What an amazing house of stone this is. It has stood the test of time and will continue to do so as a work of art! 💜 I'm so glad you both chose to share your journey on KZbin. So much trash on the media that it's refreshing to have your videos, something life giving to watch. Yes, this new life you both are "breathing into your family" is lifegiving to witness. Your dedication and energy Brady with the talented crew you hired is wonderful to behold. Heather, thank you for all the work you do to edit and prepare these videos for us. The beams and doorways are beautiful! Such craftmanship. Have a blessed week!!

[@kindlydude]

Yes, Sunday is dedicated to God, meditation, reading, and then gardening ...so I don't always get to the Voyagers then, but as soon as I can get to them they are usually the first among a few other favorites. They are such a joy to watch!! 🥰☺💓💞💖

[@MarioBeart]

Battista is so wholesome. You can tell he showed off and teased a bit because he got flattered, and to humble often invisible hardworkers like him it doesn't happen often. He also was genuinely passionate about teaching to Brady, otherwise he wouldn't have corrected him and made him try.

[@bettybryson9637]

Yes! Exactly!!!

[@hilda4114]

Love the Master teaching the student. An old skill being handed down to the next generation. So Awesome. Reminds me of my dad teaching me his trade. I'm so grateful for all he taught me while he was alive. Its a dying art. Learn as much as you can while you have these craftsmen with you.

[@gardengatesopen]

And to have some of their techniques on film! Priceless.

[@jeanbennett1850]

Those beams, that doorway... STUNNING! The skill of your helpers is amazing! You are so blessed to have them. True Master Builder/Artisans.

[@carrolmcdonald8611]

You are doing amazing! Just remember Brady, this builder has probably being doing this type of work for more than 50 years, it’s not an easy task to render, & build ancient walls etc, it takes many years of experience to get to his level! Everyone can see how incredibly hard you work, Gosh, how many others would do the amount of work you have done around such experience people, & in a foreign Country…..Not many! Please don’t be so hard on yourself, I’m sure Heather tells you this often too! Just look at what you have achieved so far in such a short amount of time! Take care, with all my love, & big hugs to you all. From Aberdeenshire, Scotland ❤🤗xxx

You can be lucky having such skilled workers. Now its time to start seriously to learn Italian language.

[@madhatter909]

I thought Brady is doing really well talking to the guys

[@kellwng]

The American chestnut was wiped out a century ago, thats why its so expensive . I remember them and how absolutely beautiful they were. You could stand under them during the rain and hardly get a drop. Climbing them was like climbing to the moon it was so big we would play on them all day. I miss them, they are like old friends.

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Chestnut is a special tree for sure!

[@valhalla340]

here in Italy, at least in the north, the chestnut has now almost become a pest since the end of agricultural civilization in the mountains. chestnut and oak trees were placed on the borders of cultivated lands and pastures, to provide food for humans and animals, and the end of the maintenance of land for agricultural purposes caused an enormous proliferation of chestnut-only woods and the disappearance of meadows. the problem is also that the chestnut tree tends to be acidic, its presence and its leaves on the ground sour the soil, prevents creating a real undergrowth, but at most brambles, ferns and brooms. long live the use of chestnut as construction wood, it could save biodiversity, but unfortunately it currently costs companies less to obtain pine wood from Austria and Eastern Europe.

Your home is going to be fantastic when finished, though I must say I look forward to watching you and this incredible team of masons working together. They are amazing and one does not get to see people of this calibre working like this so much. Love it.

These videos are such a rare opportunity to watch stone masons both tearing down and building back. I just realized that although I will be super happy for you, I will miss it.

Bravo-----This is an example of good internet!!!!! Every Sunday I await your next post. Watching the transformation of this building into a home has amazed me in so many ways. The OCD part of my personality looks at the outside and wonders when will it ever get cleaned up lol. The artist inside of me just marvels at the transformation. I love watching old world artisans at work. I love watching your hard work and love for restoration. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Bravo

The disaster outside drives me crazy but I would rather build than clean 😂

The newer hewed linseed oiled beams look fantastic. A modern change on a newer renovation. In time they too will be an enduring testament. The rebuilt stone openings reusing felled stones will be a game changer: color contrast, strength, more esthetically pleasing, more airy and accessible. A joy to watch the weekly changes.

[@HammerOn-bu7gx]

A couple of hard and fast rules about chainsawing: 1) Never, ever, look directly down on the blade while sawing. If the saw kicks back, you WILL take it in the face, and those injuries, if you survive are horrific! 2) Never cut on the rounded tip. One is begging for a kick back!

[@elizabethbrown7026]

My husband is a 30+ bricklayer/block/stone mason. At 57 years old he can work 20-40 yo's to the point of crying to stop. Then he comes home to cut grass, work on our home, etc. I call him my pet Ox. In Mormonism, the Ox represents the 12 tribes of Israel, and 12 of them hold the baptismal font in the temples, where we perform ordinances and covenants for our ancestors. My husband is our family's strength, after being through some very hard circumstances, and yet, we love and support each other through our many trials. This man is not the biological father of my children, but they have great respect for this Ox, who loves me and my children as he loves being a mason. You are the same for your family. I love watching this journey because I don't see my husband do his work because I work. So your videos remind me of how there are still those that appreciate the Oxen in our society. The hard work keeps us stable.

[@E-Bike-Life]

Wow give that man a break

[@elizabethbrown7026]

@@E-Bike-Life he wouldn't have it any other way. Trust me. And I spoil him. Dinner every night 7 days/week. And only his favorites. A clean house, clothes and his son is mine too. Even though I am not his biological momma. We are good to each other and the best of friends. My children love and adore him. He is well taken care of. I wouldn't give him up for anything.

Yes, 8x8 chestnut beams , especially here in the USA are rare and expensive. A blight wiped nearly all mature American Chestnut trees so an 8x8 here costs a ton. Wormy Chestnut in particular, salvaged from old barns and other structures, is very, very expensive.
