Rocks don’t age and the wood will bleach in a year. It looks phenomenal and matches perfectly. Well done!

The night views and sounds are beautiful!!

Se vi piace vivere in Italia inparatevi l'italiano ok rispetto per questa nazione

[@littleblondearmy]

In the 8th video of the series you posted a link for another security camera that looks fantastic. The link is for the American version of the security camera. The company's website doesn't appear to state clearly that the American camera will accept sim cards and data plans for installation in Europe. Does anyone know if the American camera in the link work in Italy or do you need to order the camera from the Italian site?

[@theverdictisstillout]

People that have never done this kind of work have no idea how incredibly hard it is physically. Your forearm strength is amazing. All that hammering is very difficult. Great work!

[@Neilsowards]

this whole thing makes me tired.

[@barbaraclepper8587]

This is going to be such a beautiful masterpiece when you are finished! Then you and your family can enjoy all the fruits of your labor...the incredible view is going to be heavenly! ❤

[@alittleheavenonearth]

​@@barbaraclepper8587agreeeeee nothing beats hard work. It's such a blessing ❤❤❤❤

[@johnbarber3764]

Oh, Yes! If you like stone work you can try refurbishing and old orchard!

[@alittleheavenonearth]

It looks easy on video lol 😆 not a chance we can relate

[@nikbress9389]

In Italy houses are built with concrete, steel and a lot of sweat, congratulations Bradey you have immersed yourself in the role of "Magutto" perfectly and the house is beautiful, it integrates perfectly with the landscape and the nature that surrounds it.

[@Francedefence]

This house is also built with steel and concrete! The stone is only there to show stones! The fundamentals of stone building is missing.

[@kevinkelly6150]

For someone who had no prior experience as a Mason, you sure have taken to it. Beautiful work.

[@alittleheavenonearth]

Agree

[@bayritexas]

They’ve GOT to be impressed with your rock shaping skills!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mariaeugenia7599]

I think they will be offering a job!

[@kellyking5721]

Yes, I'm here thinking " this a rock shaping mofo!"

[@paulacorreal1675]

Bradley, I am so impressed with your new found rock chipping skills. I am hard pressed not to make a smart aleck comment about rock chipping rather than license plate making but I think you’re probably too young to get that reference to prison labor so I won’t bother…seriously though…very few men could attempt, much less successfully achieve your expertise. When you’re finished the result will be a huge accomplishment. Your mother and father must be very proud having raised such a talented and congenial young man. I am 80 years old and I know I would be. They did a fine job … Kudoes from PA, USA.

[@lisalking2476]

​same thoughts for sure 😊

[@lieuwina]

Brady words can not describe what you and those two gentleman have done. They are truly artisans and Brady for some one who did know nothing about stone masonry work has done an outstanding job, those two men must be very impressed with you. The addition is magnificent and it is beautiful. Those wooden beams you hued are the crowning glory. Seeing Heather so happy and excited must make you feel all that hard, weary hours and days of labour have been worth it. In years to come your little girls will proudly tell their children, grandad made this extension with his own bare hands with the help of two artisans. Have a lovely day.

[@aliceskewthorpe8991]

The beauty of it all is... You've created memories that will be the family history... And brought us along with your endeavours... Priceless ❤

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Thank you!!!

[@RosieKiel]

Good job. Hard work. Beautiful! Your family will enjoy forever and ever. Love following you and your girls.

[@feathermtn1490]

The stonework is absolutely stunning! Highest praise for all artisans working on this project 💖

[@Itsaboutthewaterlife]

Agree.

[@bumblebee2798]

My Sunday has officially started!! I love waiting to see how far you have gotten!! Just magnificent!!! As always thanks for bringing us along!!!

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Yay! Thank you!

It won't be long before you can actually move into your beautiful home.❤ Noreen Australia 🦘

[@giuliacleti5950]

Bradey:il mago della malta e del caffè! You have become a real stone mason, next step cooking polenta!

[@Pannekoek.]

I am just in awe of the craftsmanship and the stunning result that it produces. I can only imagine the pride you must feel in helping create this.

[@barbkrienke8400]

What a ginormous amount of work you three have done. It’s a beautiful accomplishment!!!! Congratulations on finishing those stone walls. ❤

[@johnwoodallmd]

My grandfather and all my uncles were master stonemasons. They would be proud of the job you've done! We'll done!

[@DavidBlaisdell]

I imagine when Bradey dreams, it's about stones!

[@barbarakloise6790]

YOU ARE A HARD WORKER. That jouse is so much part of you now. Blood dirt, dust sweat and more sweat! What you all have been creating there is epic. Looks beautiful too.

[@nurture_urnature]

Moving to another country and working from scratch to build your dream house,it's motivating👍

Sending my love and God's blessings to you all!!!Wanda In N- E Corner of Oklahoma., Bartlezville, Oklahoma.

[@PaulaPughRomanaux]

Brady, Heather, building colleague's and girls, what an incredible joy and informational journey you are sharing with us. If we were 20 years younger, I think we might have been tempted to purchase and restore a home in another country. Though educated and licensed in restoration architecture, I can only dream vicariously of learning skills in working with stone from your property. However, Brady, your use of the trees and other materials around the property and the fact that you have honed these skills so wonderfully. I am overjoyed to follow this journey with all of your family ! Bravissimo!

[@jw6767]

I am very impressed by the beauty of your stone work. The builders are real craftsmen you were lucky to find them. I wait with interest the finished building! Well done guys!

[@melissareid640]

Okay, my excitement is so over the top Happy for you beyond words! Look how far you've come as a family with your own hands, hearts, and for now and for generations to come! Every step of the way Congratulations!

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Thank you so much!!

[@noahs4058]

So enormously excited for you and your family! What an amazing life you are living. Your kids are lucky to have parents who are creating a truly special and intentional life 💜

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Thank you so much!

[@annberlin5811]

That view. Its majestic. The church gives it a medieval vibe

[@jaimewilton952]

Thank you for the coffee breaks and the Valley Views. Magical.

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@edithl17]

when you took the bracing down in the addition I cried so many happy tears for your family, it all came together when you ripped that second brace board down. Absolutely beautiful, thankful I ran across y'all

[@Francedefence]

Beautiful ??????? The inside cement walls ????????

[@jerometappe5931]

I wait all week to see what you’ve done. Looks great!

[@cindland]

It is impressive to see how your stone cutting skill developed and was honed (yes pun intended) over the course of these videos. The ease and speed with which you’re now picking the stones and chiseling the edges into shape. Marvelous….You almost match the level of your professional team!

[@christinequennell5855]

Your husband is amazing he's so talented ,and it's lovely you are helping as it something you will both be able to sit back one day and admire .Hope the children are well and I can't wait for you all to move in snd be happily settled .xxx

[@jeankipper6954]

I'm constantly amazed at your sheer physical strength and energy!

[@marieconway6600]

You picked that stone chiseling up after one lesson and ran with it. Great job!! Congratulations

[@orlinchirinos1981]

What a house wall built out of natural stone beautiful and elegant

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Look how far you've come! A couple of weeks ago it took you much longer to chisel stone. Now you whip through them like a knife through butter! Well done! Have a good week! Blessed Be!

[@DianeHanna-e5j]

There is something soothing about the sound of stones being chipped against the sound of nature. You should record it and post it the rest of us trying to destress at the end of a day.

[@eldcar72]

All I can say is WOW!!! Ur house is stunning, all that hard work is paying off.. Great crew u have working w u too..

[@sheilahartnagle6114]

Ur home is beautiful, like living in a dream. U have learned so many skills with building this new room. There is a lot to be proud of on what u have accomplished ❤

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Thank you so much 😊

[@shirleyrademan6406]

Hi from South Africa. Such a treat to watch your videos, you are such an inspiration!! So hardworking!! Absolutely stunning outcome of those stone walls. WOW, well done!! Heather, your expression seeing the outcome, was absolutely priceless!! I am sure it melted your hubby's heart..... Thank you for sharing. God bless!!

[@kindlydude]

Yes, Heather's appreciation and love are so palpable, emotive & effusive!!! Brady must be so in love still with this warm, wonderful & lovely woman ...as she must be so grateful for such a competent, determined & strong, yet kind , gentle & loving husband in Brady ....their enthusiasm for life & each other is rather infectious ...as well as joyous to watch!!!

[@susanriverione7437]

The moments set in history as each stone is set into place in your home is moving. What a legacy for your children and your childlren's children!

[@kellyh8347]

TheNewbys mentioned you this week and now they will have a very special guest room the next time they visit!!! Brady-I think you have put in enough time and skill to go from apprentice to artisan! What a wonderful gift you have given your family! Well done!

[@lauraquigley6403]

Your family is amazing. What a beautiful gift you are both giving to your girl’s to teach them so many skills not just building but gardening & travel! I pray Dad is doing better in the states. 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@suzannekelly4882]

Those walls are works of art. Just extraordinarily beautiful.

[@darlenegibson57]

I don't think I have ever seen your view at night. That was so beautiful ❤❤ DO it again.

[@Tommy-Art-Strong]

Looking absolutely gorgeous! Nice work!😊

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Thank you! 😊

[@somawhisky4551]

I am very happy for you. It's so amazing how such a beautiful space came from nothing. Keep it up, stay healthy and thank you for letting us share in your life. I'm already looking forward to the next episode.

[@jennms1586]

What I love about watching your videos is that there is a minimal amount of talking and more watching you get on with building your beautiful stone house. Your craftsmanship is top notch and I love how you are keeping with tradition and working as hard or harder than the guys who are the professionals. Well done! I'm very impressed.

[@adriannavanderpoll4745]

I think glass doors (with inside shutters) would look wonderful. Bringing the now and the then together. And for much needed light inside.

[@valeriederrick2352]

The stonework is amazing! It matches the old part of the house perfectly!

[@annamschnetzer4036]

I think those wonderful tree trunks that you have used to shape the rocks. should be "enshrined" as special end tables inside your new home.

[@bettyfrederick9231]

I pray that the good Lord keeps you and your family safe and happy in your stone house. 😊

[@patcampton7163]

Looking fabulous with th stone sill and the chestnut lintels. What an achievement.

[@lindajoyce1808]

Have enjoyed the shots of the craftsman just working, cheating and shaping the stones.

[@ksmithkatcarving]

It's always nice when you are beautiful weather for Landstone, or working in anything. When I laid the stone in front of our earth home, the weather was always nice. For two weeks, and I got it done. Your house is gonna look nice, and the rewards and warmth that you're gonna feel when you're living in it, you're gonna love it.

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Well done !! The men worked soo hard. Brady has learned and achieved so much. Well done guys !

[@ronblessey6731]

Hey Brady, your work ethic is on full display. I am sure the local gentlemen you are working with are more than impressed at what you are doing. I get tired just watching you!! Great work young man!

[@dyannejohnson6184]

I was trying to find the words to address the beauty of an ancient mason art……I highly respect the trade and the men who are teaching you this skill…new skills are easy to carry!…please tell the gentlemen I said so…congratulations

[@cindland]

I have found the words….poetry in motion!

[@Francedefence]

Ancient mason art didn't use steel rebars and cement! It used limestone or even earth, for motar to joint the stones.

[@soresa5238]

This house will last for a thousand years

[@johnward9626]

I should never tire of those views!

[@carolewoodruff9329]

I am sure you must be “chinking” stones in your sleep! What a beautiful finished result. You should all be very proud! Victoria, BC, Canada

[@virginiahuard7831]

Brady, your workmen must have been astonished to see you just dive right in and become part of their team. Your expertise developed so quickly! Good for you! I am sure they were pleased to have you onboard….such a smooth operation! They will call on you to join their next jobs!!!! Ginger from Michigan

[@melindataljaard2753]

Very hard work! Lots of stone work is taking a lot of time. Wow, I love the woodwork! It is so epic!! It's amazing seeing everything start to look like a real house!!! Is beautiful!!❤❤

[@marthadarbanville5082]

Love the encouragement and compliments offered by the Italian crew❤

[@billathighwoods4289]

Hard workers all, fantastic progress and beautiful appearance. Congratulations 👏

[@rhondadorey1723]

WOW-----that is a beautiful addition.I can imagine how proud and satisfied you must be. Your apprenticeship as a stonemason is second to none. What an amazing skill you've gained. Bravo!!👏🏼👏🏼

[@johngodbout7341]

I remember the original This Old House on PBS, and strangers from all over would knock on their door and want a tour of the house! Lol. Yes, you definitely need a pull out couch for visitors! Lol

[@eridulife]

Hello guys! The house is turning out so beautifuly. It is such a inspiration for us to see you guys out there doin things and getting progress on your project. We are on the very beggining of our journey, restoring a abandoned farm in Spain with a 300+ years old house. Hopely to get some progress on our project this year, as we just moved to Spain. All the best and thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@naelconstant1]

The new wall looks so beautiful and way better than the old walls, you gained lots of experience in construction, enjoy your new home and all the best.

[@cculler7731]

Brady, your stone work is simply beautiful. I am speechless, as it breathtaking. I look forward to your next video.

[@tammyclough3430]

Wow. What an incredible accomplishment. The craftsmanship is something you just dont see in my country of canada anymore. Thoroughly enjoying the videos of this build. Thank you for bringing us on this journey.

[@huseyinbaykara2134]

I have been watching you for a month.I am looking forward to seeing when the building is complete.

[@davidcd1993]

Beautiful stone addition. Italian contractors are experts at it no doubt. Glad the house is going well.

[@neomifeldman3553]

What I admire most about you is your courage to face the unknown and not let difficulties frighten you. Courage and faith in God are - same

[@veraparagouteva5412]

Hello from Bulgaria! You are doing such a beautiful work! Piece of art! Admirations!

[@kristinsalerno8591]

Watching you all build these walls out of these beautiful rocks (shale?) gives me so much peace. When I was a small child in Italy I had just lost my father and we stayed at a friend’s house. She had rocks and gravel in her front yard and I put them in structures and bags all day, then emptied the bags and broke down the structures, only to build them again the next day. It gave me so much peace and calm and I feel that again watching this clip. Thank you for such a lovely memory and I’m loving watching you all construct such beautiful walls!

[@dawnalowe2687]

Brady, you did an amazing job and in the process learned a new trade!

[@Shibalvr]

I stayed up until 6AM watching this video! So proud.❤❤❤❤❤

[@dbpantani]

It's amazing how quickly new builds in contrast to renovating old. It's almost worth demolishing the old and rebuilding it with the same stones and design. At least then you could pour a slab, waterproof it retain the back slope properly and engineer the structure to contemporary earth quake tolerances.

[@viviennebradshaw5465]

From artist to artist's, this is an absolute work of art. There is so much attention to detail. Mind blowing. Congratulations on your achievements in this project. We applaud your work 👏 🙌 💪 ❤

[@ingebjrgulstein7342]

Beautyful waals, so proud of you all👏❤️🇳🇴 11:19

[@Conniekool]

It is hard to wait for the finished house. Your family has worked so hard for this. Congratulations!

[@philomenabenedict9371]

A labor of love, truly! God bless the hands of all involved 🙏

[@madhatter909]

So good to see you making coffee again, I have missed your outdoor kitchen!

[@paulinehiggins8239]

Oh wow you almost have a whole room. It’s 02:04 here while watching this, seeing your coffee I think I need one too. It’s taken my husband as long to extend one wall, one mitre with gyprock as it’s taken you guys to build your whole wall. I guess you can’t rush these things but I’m over the dust. 💕

[@dawnfitzgerald2951]

I love the rusty orange colour in the rock. Those beams are perfect. What a beautiful extension to your old home. ❤️🇨🇦

[@goodphone156]

You don't need to go in paradise, because you are already there!

[@davidcuttle4340]

Just watching and it looks like three master craftsmen becoming one smoothly oiled machine. The new room looks probably better than the original rooms. Congratulations.

[@leesnow343]

The stone work is so beautiful! It's a labor of love and so exciting❤

[@riccardocostantini6560]

Nooo, now I have to wait another week to see another episode!!!

[@ana4khaled]

the best part making the coffee ,

[@designstinamarshmallow9868]

The amount of labour you guys are putting into the house, is amazing! 🥰 Keep up the good work, we're all routing for you all!! 💞 It's looking good!!

[@emmiewahl2842]

Thank you Heather for all your background work. Busy busy lady.

[@OMGheresyaya]

Magnificent! Your videos are a joy to watch!❤

[@davidbrosch480]

Your stone masons are amazing! For you it's passion, for them it's a job. Grreat teamwork shown on the camera.

[@adriannacabrera9013]

Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family experience with us I still can’t wait for the house tour after everything is done

[@dougl945]

That rock work is a thing of real beauty.

[@gemeames1597]

I am absolutely amazed at the addition. It is a stunning piece of work and I can't wait to see the final product.

[@chrislundberg1]

Looks great crew is a good match of experence. Your wife's smile is priceless.

[@Yorky222]

I can't fault your work ethic.

[@debracooney3428]

Beautiful! You must be exhausted and sore at the end of the day. I’m looking forward to the next video. 😊

[@nancyf18]

Bradey, Heather, Alexa, Chloe your home is coming together beautifully, The walls look amazing. Bradey you are a sponge absorbing all the building knowledge you are learning from you awesome contractors. God bless you all. See you all on the next video.

[@bonniehanson1105]

Wouldn’t be surprised that they wouldn’t ask you to help them on future projects, you are that good with stone😁😁😁

[@cathrynusher6737]

What a stunning piece of building. No art!! Such a privilege to learn from artisans and you are showing the makings of becoming one also. You also have an amazing work ethic. Huge kudos to you.

[@patbrady9531]

The artistry of the design of the fronht facade stones! Gorgeous.

[@jlennox362]

Spectacular! I know this has been done a thousand thousand times since Roman times but this is Artwork. Perfecto!!
