Thank goodness you got all the stonework inside powerwashed! It looks so much better and cleaner! Now finishing it up and doing what has to be done to get your house ready for you to move in one day will be amazing! I am always anxious to see what comes next on your wonderful family’s journey! Much love to all of you from Iowa! 🌟❤️

I see a majority of you tubers/vloggers exploit their children for views and hate it. I recommend Raising Voyagers to everyone that wants to see just a good wholesome family. I love how the girls are included but not exploited. LOVE you guys!

[@greybeard5774]

Have to be agree with you .. yup .. those little cockroaches running around everywhere .. doing stupid things, wasting viewers time .. a staged image of a happy family .. I hate it too :))

I get tired from watching you, wishing I still had that youthful energy. You remind me of my father who was an engineer who learned how things work and did so much to keep our house modern as I was growing up.

[@AnaArca]

My family are Italian, they came to Venezuela (South America) during the WW2. The town were they stayed for years and the one who they helped to build is very similar to your town and is very similar to their town in Pren, Italy. I see the mountains, the plants, the cloudy skies and I feel like is my home town! I wish you all, all the best, nothing better than nature, trees, fruits, wood and stones to rise happy and healthy kids!

[@trulyblessed3732]

The stonework is going to be stunning when the pressure washing is done. ❤

[@VikingUffDa]

I think I would spray the walls you’re going to insulate with a water vinegar solution even though you’re not going to pressure wash them. That would freshen them up and deter bugs as well as eliminate any built up fungus.

[@goldenarrow3]

Sheep's wool makes great insulation, very natural & really efficient, love mine

[@SindyBoyle]

Your right and the smell goes quickly.

[@cindiedeasey1352]

I am constantly amazed by your building skills. The floor (even if it is temporary), the door and everything else is awesome. I am excited to see how the house will look when it is completed.

[@manalsamarah1749]

By all the videos I have been watching for people buying in Italy, your barn-house has a million dollar view. You build a patio and enjoy the beautiful nature and view. God bless

[@RaisingVoyagers]

Thank you ❤️

[@dottiefrazee4390]

My Father was a mason. I grew up with a love for brick, flag stone and the like. You both deserve so much credit for preserving this historic home. Overwhelming work that you will never regret when finished. Love what I'm learning and enjoying along your journey. I'll ever meet you but wish you the very best! Keep up the good work, Mom, Dad and Girls!

[@rosemarysproul3444]

I’ve never seen a guy work so hard😮in all my life! I would have given up long ago!! AMAZING!!!

[@PamDubier]

Your daughters are so fortunate that you’re providing them with this experience. I’m always eager to see your progress.

[@sunshinedunker3220]

Not only is this restoration a project that few would embark upon, but your parenting of your two daughters is so appreciated in today's world where parents have taken a step back, and expect their children to develop life skills on their own! You two work well and haven't forgotten how to play well together! Such a good example for your children to follow in their own future marriages. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@steekjesenzo]

Een reactie van een Nederlandse kijker, iemand zei dat ik dit moest kijken, in 1 week heb ik alle video's van Italië gekeken. Geweldig vind ik hoe jullie dit doen! Vol vertrouwen, inspiratie, plezier! Ga zo door! Ik ben geabonneerd dus mis geen video! 🥰

[@susanbatho9693]

Well done Heather and to a very brave family. Enjoy your videos each week, thank you ♡

[@KathyaKalinine]

Thanks, Heather! It’s looking amazing so far!!! 🇮🇹♥️

[@MsDetroitMix]

The whole power washing the inside of the house is so amazingly interesting. Actually, watching how you all are, thru your collective sweat equity, making this structure into your new home has been truly enjoyable. 0:03

[@paulinelane1599]

Well done to you both. Always look forward to watching on Sundays. Well done Heather for editing the video so perfectly so we would not miss out.

[@leesnow6938]

I thought you were crazy when you said flood the house, but now I understand the rocks look so amazing! Can't wait to see the final product!

[@TravelWithBek]

I know myself how much time it takes to film and then edit a 20 minutes vlog so I totally appreciate how hard Heather works and the extra pressure when it’s a tight deadline. So thanks Heather! You are awesome! 🎉❤

[@warpspeed9877]

Agreed on the stone washing but not so much on too much visible stones inside the house. These old houses use dark stones and have small windows. If kept as is it will produce a dark interior. At least you can mitigate that by using light colored mortar to fill in the gaps and keep at least half of the walls plastered. Too much dark stone will make it feel like a dungeon and the best substrate for dust settling and spiders. Trust me...i've been there.

[@pliny8308]

I completely agree. We had these old stone buildings on our property, and it does feel like a dungeon if you don't plaster like 2/3 of the walls.

[@thomaskramer440]

Insulating and plasterering the interior walls (with clay, or hemp) also will create a warmer climate and athmosphere inside the rooms. Stone walls remain cold even with heating, and accumulate dust and dirt. On the other hand, why do you insulate and plaster the outer side of the stone walls? Beware, the house will lose its charming look and character!

[@auroraalmeida3184]

Thank you for that hard work Heather, your house looks very nice now, after the washing. You’re are an amazing family.

[@Sunbeam4291]

I could see why a person could be so worried about flooding their home to be. It looks terrific now with the stones cleaned and all the years of dust and insects and small animal debris gone. I look forward to the completion of this build, and you guys being able to settle in. Thanks for sharing. Alla Prossima. Cheers.

[@susanhirtzel8410]

Your stone dwelling is in one of the most breathtaking settings I’ve ever seen! What a joy it must be to look out over all that every day.

[@ernestestrada2461]

Construction site theft is an issue even back here in the United States. Many construction companies either own or rent, shipping containers to house their tools and to lock them up. I'm just surprised that it's happening in a rural area where people typically look out for each other.

[@protectanimals9792]

I thought the same thing when I bought a weekend place in rural southeast Oklahoma. Had to sell because every time I left they robbed my house.

[@pollyb.4648]

Thank you both Heather and Brady, exciting progress revealing that gorgeous stone!!

[@lvc23]

go Heather for fast editing to get this vid to us on time 😊❤❤❤

[@peterwhite9261]

Those stones look so much better. I was like you, thinking the water pressure would be a threat to the structure. You got that little barn done up fast. I hope the critters stay away, including the 2-legged ones.❤

[@delisaseale5881]

Great job Heather! Watching you guys work makes me tired. I’m 58. We built our house when I was in my 40’s. I worked a part-time job and my husband worked nearly full time as we built. We built from new, with lots of help. Thankfully we didn’t have to do it all ourselves. My husband and family are carpenters. I admire y’all’s vision and tenacity. Blessings🕊️

[@bobhale8325]

My wife and I enjoy your family and the adventure you are on. We are slowly catching up on videos in no particular order. We just finshed the numbering and tearing up the main floor. Wifey said to remind you of the cart/dolly brake we use. Put a power cord, like the one on a desktop computer in front of the wheels to stop a dolly from rolling. Wifey wondered what the girls thought of the horse blocking the road -- bet they missed seeing them.

[@cherylmoss3632]

I have wondered why all of the renovators of stone buildings don't do this. Pressure wash the stones was WHAT I wanted to SHOUT but presumed that there was a good reason not to do.

[@leifpaulin5358]

The clay and mud inside wall binds all together. Wash it our and you make walls instable. That is why.

[@TheRealSasquatch]

@@leifpaulin5358 Incorrect. If the wall has been built properly it is structurally sound. The mud/clay filler is for draught proofing.

Because it’s a terrible idea.

[@vargasjal2232]

Nice that you listened to what I Said several months ago "Powerwash the house, the water will go away, specially since its summer" Suggestions, when u wash, do not wash from "Bottom to Top" instead do "Top then work your way down"

[@lindamckibben2828]

Amazing to see the transformation in the stone. I was one of those people worried about the integrity of the wall with this process! What the heck do I know, anyway, eh? So sorry to hear that tools are being 'borrowed' so you have to have security cameras! Very sad. You guys are working very hard. Kudos to Heather for getting this video edited even as you continued filming! Well done, guys!

[@gracealdred2514]

So sorry about the “borrowing” that’s been going on! I love watching your progress and seeing how positive you are despite some setbacks. And that view is amazing!

I can't imagine the thought process that your minds must go through everyday and how everything may seem insurmountable at times. The motivation and tenacity that you two, along with the girls, is quite inspiring and I hope it never fades and all of your goals are obtained for your new stone house. And those church bells in the distance, just beautiful.

Those bells, it reminds me when I was a child. It seems that the layer of the little rocks was a protective barrier from the outside elements. Very old stone houses have the interior stone walls covered by some kind of natural matter.

[@constancestine1020]

Well done Heather for your editing skills! I found todays video fascinating, once more allowing your subscribers to learn what you have to do to restore a structure like yours. I spent 32 yrs in law enforcement and construction theft is a fact of life, all the cameras will help but putting tracker devices on your equipment could assist in regaining your property. I would first talk with your local police to determine their interest in assisting you.

[@TLL65]

Great job Heather (and everyone else!). It’s looking sooo good! -Tami

Thank you, Heather! And by the way, I'm with you on the rodents, snakes, etc. When you walked out, where are you going, I don't know, lol, that was my favorite video moment😮😂😂 Brady, my son-in-law has a pressure washing, epoxy, sealant etc business, and it is hard work!

[@archielytle]

Have you considered using logs to protect your house against rolling stones? They would absorb more energy than steel fence. Shaped in like a boat’s bow with arbor vitae or some other plants, it should protect you and your family more effectively
