I left that comment above before I had watched any of the previous videos. But now that I’m caught up I just want to say how amazing you guys are to tackle such an ambitious project! Seeing these guys start ripping a hole in the wall made my heart sink (I was actually over here on my side of the screen yelling no no, no!), but because I had watched the previous videos and knew them to be experts in Stone House construction, I reassured myself that they knew what they were doing, and survived viewing the demolition that way, lol. Phew.

[@anzo75]

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.

[@karmellaborashan902]

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!

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!!!

[@RaisingVoyagers]

It really is! Thanks so much!

[@lucianatrambaglio4881]

Dear Bradley you together with the team worker did a very good job on your ground floor. Since 100 years ago houses were built without a "vespaio" it's very necessary now to isolate properly a home from humidity. Ciao, all the best to you and your lovely family. ❤🎉

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 🙌

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.

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.

[@revpops]

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.

[@bengt_axle]

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.

[@lynnemac1402]

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

[@meredithheath5272]

(Where is this taking place?!) Someone mentioned where, but what region? Perhaps Northern Italy, where there are many very small villages, where the homes are made of unpainted stone. It appears - very fortunately- that some people are reburbishing those buildings. They are absolutely gorgeous, so I'm so glad that there are people who are active in preserving history. (I wish I could travel to those regions so as to appreciate, in person, the beautiful villages.)
