Who would think that watching someone build steps would be so fascinating? You found a gem in Andy.
Lol, we have knack for finding gems 💎😉
Thank goodness we have craft men.
Andy is the Michelangelo of his craft. Absolutely beautiful work guys! It’s all coming together 🙌🏼
Andy is great. I'm glad you found him to help you do your rock work.
He is great. He seems to take a lot of pride in his work.
Andy is awesome! He is an artist! I’m so glad you found him, I wish Andy could come to canada and help my backyard garden.
Andy is a truly humble, gentle soul
He sure knows what he is doing
Superb workmanship
I AGREE!!!❤
I’m loving watching the rebuilding of the mill and property. It’s all interesting but my favorite part is how you develop relationships with the tradespeople. Such a cool episode!!
Really gonna miss Andy when the rock work is all done... hoping we'll see him more! I love Andy!
Working with local artisans, like Nelson and Andy and the Ukrainians, has added so much to this experience! What great partners!
I am amazed at the skill the workers have and they take such pride in their work. This was so interesting to watch!
Andy is amazing! He has so much knowledge, talent and seems great to work with…you found a real gem in him :)
Those stairs will be around for decades, and they’re beautiful!
Our favorite new feature of the Mill!
Those steps have been a LOT of work...... but people will still be admiring them in 100 years, so they're worth all the time and effort!
Exactly!
I swear, your videos are better than anything I've seen on HGTV or the like. I never would have thought that I'd find myself looking forward to videos on TH-cam, yet here I am. I can't wait for future videos to see how the interior is coming along.
As someone who has adopted Germany as her home, I love seeing you work and laugh with Andy. As soon as he mentioned squirrel I laughed as Eichhörnchen was my favourite difficult German word to learn. Ask him to say oachkatzlschwoaf and see if you can say it too!! Appropriately it is dialect for a squirrels tail 😂 I just love the craftsmanship going into your stairs.
Love these stairs. Andy is one helluva clever guy and his knowledge is amazing for such a young age. Great guy. Can see you are both loving the steps xxxxxxx
How do you agree on what the crews get paid. They are so artistic, and spend so much time working on these projects. And with you guys helping out with some of the labor. Love your videos. Going to be beautiful. ❤
Andy is a real artisan. He does incredible work. You’ll look at those steps for years to come with pride that you did it along with this amazing man.
I am immensely interested in watching the building on the rock stairs and walls. You have found really talented men to create these structures. This is so gratifying to watch. I look forward to watching all the progress of creating your home.
It’s so cool to watch artisans mastering their craft. Andy is such a kind and talented soul! You’ve already infused great energy into your land….now all of these craftsman are just adding to that. Your home is both beautiful and happy to be built with so much love and respect! 😉😊👏🏻
I love the different shapes and sizes of the rocks. Especially when Andy sands them and then washes them off. It gives each rock a different but an absolutely beautiful dimension to the staircase itself ❤❤ Good job you guys!!
Agree! 👍
Wow! Love it now…and it will only get better! On the backside of the CORNERSTONE on the top step, why not CHISEL your initials on it along with the date? ❤️🙏🏼👋🏻🇨🇦🦫🫎🫶🏼
The steps an wall are AWSOME!! Andy’s talent an eye for details is spot on.
I missed you guys on Sunday. Excited the steps are getting done, whole the inside is still being worked on as well. Love Andy because he teaches as he goes.❤ from Oklahoma
See you again this upcoming Sunday 😘
It is so satisfying to watch the stonework. I appreciate that Andy shares his knowledge and explains what he is doing and why. Everyone that has contributed to the transformation of your property has shown great craftsmanship and pride in their work and it is evident in the quality of the build so far. Similarly, the respect and appreciation the two of you extend to everyone and your willingness to jump in and contribute any way you can creates a mutually rewarding experience for all! I am enjoying watching the transformation of your dream into reality.
You need to build rock walls forever, Andy is amazing. I love his explanation and ideas. Hello from South Australia
There is a product called Willard's Water that you may want to keep handy in case of burns. When my son was about 2 yrs old, his grandmother was cooking a big pot of noodles. His grandmother left the kitchen for a minute. My son got a chair and moved it over to the stove. He climbed up on the chair and stuck his whole arm into the boiling water. When he screamed, I ran and pulled him away, took him to the sink, and ran cold water on his arm while his dad grabbed a towel, poured Willard's Water on the towel, then wrapped his arm in it. He stopped crying in about 8-10 minutes. We left the towel on for about 30 minutes, also adding more Willard's Water a second time. When we took the towel off, there was no redness, swelling, scaring, or blistering. I will forever be grateful for Willard's Water. I love your heart-shaped rock.
The rock work is beautiful. Craftsmanship from everyone.
I love watching you hand pick the stones, then place them and build the steps and walls. Please make longer videos! Also love watching Brittany doing her thing, making lunches and feeding kitties and helping pick and place stones. So fun to watch it all!
Laying the stone staircase was very satisfying to see the craftsmanship by Andy the master mason 👏
That area is going to be so beautiful. I can picture it with plants and flowers. Great job to all the team. It's a piece of art all that stone work. Love and be safe! 😘🤗🌼ve
I was thinking the same -for later awesomeness would be floral plants in some areas. But a natural look not intrusive to the beautiful rock formations. 👍
So BEYOND PERFECTION ❤️🔥❤😻💎 by the 2 rubies.
Superb Team work by ALL!
Someone needs to make a plaque to adhere to the monument stone of restoration
accomplishment.
🙏 Now a plaque isn’t something we had thought of. 😍💡
That guy is a pro! Where do you guys such amazing craftsmen? Those stairs and wall look like they've been there for ever.
Brittany,Drew.Thank you for Posting.And Please thank terry for coming out and helping to.And your other friend that was there helping Andy.Thank you again.And to the other Man that helped you guys to.Love you all.Thank you all.Raquel.
Your stone steps look beautiful - a work of art!
Amazing craftsmanship by the workers.
This is such a great, entertaining and informative video. Don't know where you found Andy, but he is a master. The steps look amazing.
Wow , wow, Andy is quite the artiste. What à beautiful job. Totally amazing. Bravo also to his helpers 😘 We just love watching all the développement of your beautiful homestead.
Lots of hard work but the results awesome. Granite wow. Bravo. Looking forward to the next one. Hope your hand has healed without too much pain.
Regards from Québec Canada. ❤️❤️
So much love and care put into the stairs. It looks magical. Absolutely stunning.
Masonry is truly an art to be preserved and taught to younger generations. Love seeing the progress.
Wow 8 years, that's amazing. I'm 58 and just since November I've started Van Life with Huubby. After 4 kids, we are on a new adventure. Love watching you guys
Not Huubby. Hubby lol
Happy travels 🚐💕
I love watching stonework. Great job. Andy is amazing ❤
Andy has a well honed artistic eye and does gorgeous work. Truly gifted in his craft. Wishing we could all be so lucky to find people with his vision and abilities. Love watching you all work on this massive project.
Happy you are using natural elements to create your steps. It's a lot of work, it seems, and I imagine it's costly too. Good luck. Happy to see the weekly improvements and your efforts.
You should have a visitors book for all the wonderful workmen you have there to sign for posterity! Workmanship is excellent and all taking shape. Your videos go so fast because the work is all so interesting to watch and Andy has the most beautiful eyes! Well done all.
Thank you for taking the time to share your projects. I’m truly enjoying and look forward to your videos.
I hope you keep in touch with Andy after everything is finished. He'd be a great friend to have in Portugal.
Andy is a natural on camera and very entertaining! He knows his craft. It looks gorgeous x
Love the home remodel of your Portugal water mill
WOWSA, I think you should dedicate one bedroom to the previous owners, finding out what their dreams may have been, and invite them yearly for vacation.🥰
I'm sure they would appreciate all you have accomplished on their vision and more!
Thank you✨☕, it's looking so nice. Great crew, Andy seems to want to make it GORGEOUS, your lucky to have found such a skilled rock guy😊 Enjoying the journey ✨
it's like a giant jigsaw puzzle with no end-photo guide. just a lot of trial and error. but turned out looking so good!
We love the creative approach it requires and expanded our minds in the process 💚
You hit the Jackpot with Andy and all the crews 😊true craftsmen, something America is missing. It is looking amazing. The historical society should be very pleased at all you’ll be doing to make the antique mill house ❤
Fantastic video. So far it’s my favorite one. Good job. I liked very much watching Andy’s skillfulness, for sure he loves his job. I look forward to see the next step in your renovation.❤
Andy and Terry are real masters of building with stone. Andy has the particular knowledge to provide the best of each segment of your build. He explains it so well, and actually when he suggested that each of the stones is to be cleaned and totally wet when laid for effective bonding! It reminds me of the methods used when the pyramids were built. Our guide explained that each block seemed to ‘suck’ into the next stone for adding strength/bonding! I can see why! Absolutely! I find the same thing happens in housekeeping; wet things next to each other seem to bond as they dry.

I Pray you all had a beautiful Easter.And keep doing a great Job Like always.Love again Raquel.❤.And thank you all.
Britney that's a nasty burn, did u mention how u did it, I didn't hear?! Andy ur work is absolutely amazing and now you are a famous YT star, handsome,strong, and so much talent!❤❤❤
It’s an art and it’s beautiful. So special just like you two
Your stone masons are true artists, and you guys will have a beautiful home when it's done!!! Great work !!!
The stairs are looking great! The amount of craftsmanship involved is impressive and Andy does such a great job explaining things!
I gotta say it I'm very jealous ❤🎉
The rock work is beautiful and so are Brittany's nails ❣️
Great job guys! I really like the way you put these videos together. They are fun to watch and informative too! Can't wait until Sunday!
Glad you like them!
The workers are masters in their skills and are not afraid to explain their craft. I have burned my hand just like Brittany and I also used aloe vera. I have a large Aloe Vera plant and cut off a piece and quickly applied the liquid on my hand. I kept my hand wrapped in gauze to minimize an infection.
The stairs are spectacular and I can appreciate all the granite and stones are from your property.
Aloe Vera is amazing and gives fast relief. I highly recommend it too.
Those steps are gorgeous just beautiful BRAVO XOXOXOXO
Andy is the MAESTRO of stone XOOXOXO
🥰🤗 always love sharing life with you!! 😘💪
Hello guys. I'm a genetic genealogist. I have been watching your show for years and couldn't help but respond this time. When looking at the ethnic pie chart that your genetics show, you must remember.... If, for example, your father was born in America, but both of his parents were born in Switzerland and the line goes back pretty far in Switzerland., t hen you have a ton of Swiss from each parent. Another example is if you have a grandfather and all of his siblings were born in Switzerland and then the family moved to America where your grandfather is then born, his heritage genetics is still very Swiss. It doesn't matter if somebody lived in a country, for example France for a generation or two . It matters where their genetic heritage comes from, their parents, their grandparents, etc. Just something to keep in mind when you are looking at that ethnic pie chart. Have fun. Genetic genealogy is a blast
You Guys are Super Smart hiring A Handsome, smoking, Young German Man.
Of Course-Creative & A Artist...
Absolutely Beautiful Wall & Stairs...
God Bless

Stone wall / Stairs / Rare Granite - Ruby > on your land. Birth Stone > Very Cool. > 🤩
Rubies are a 'rare mineral' made up of densely packed ~ aluminum and oxygen atoms ~ which are normally colorless.
When other atoms are substituted for a few of the aluminum ones....bright hues emerge. 💎♦💎
Andy and the whole crew are a working Genius!
It all coming together beautifully.
Drew and Brittany’s artistic minds coming together!👏💕🙏🏻
Oh my gosh-art in motion! This is an incredible step (ha ha!). Truly. It felt like watching two sculptors at work. Inspiring! Excellent!
What a surprise I’m watching y’all early in the week ❤❤😊
All that stonework is beautiful, and Andy works from the time he gets there to finishing up at the end of the day. There was no standing around, and you can see he loves his job when you see the end product. Your home is going to be just wonderful, and all the workers work so hard and, of course, the 2 of you. Keep up the good work. Love from Australia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I can’t imagine how much this costs and you still don’t have approval from the council for occupation? Beautiful work. This place will look like a fairytale castle when done.
LOVE watching stone masons at their craft! I guess its because I love the colors and kinds of rocks and also love building puzzles.
SO GLAD you’re coving the block wall with stone also!
I could watch Andy work for hours, so mesmerizing.
How amazing those stones look. It adds so much character to your place.
You have a sensational team. They are sharing history and fine hand working!!! So interesting and different from American fake stone walls. It is Real! I love it.
The pieces are all coming together nicely on this project. Nice work team👍
Andy is a wonderful stone artist/mason. Excellent to see safety gear like goggles and masks being used.
Looking forward to the next episode.
Saint John's wort is the best for burns. It is called balsam for a reason. Try it if you can find it. It is red. If you have the plant in your area, during spring and early summer, you can make your own. You put fresh flowers in olive oil and store for a month in a dark place. It is a remedy for everything. Get well soon.
The step come out beautiful by the way
Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏✨
Guten tag Andy. Good day Drew. Great teamwork guys. Looks to us like you are building both a good foundation for the home and a friendship. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next one. From Virginia, USA
Taa- Daa!! Looks great!
This guy is an artist, what a good job !!!
Wow! I am definitely in the Andy fan club. He is so talented. And I love the stories he tells about the rocks
Really beautiful ❣️ Andy knows his stone!!!
What a treat to have found such a master stone craftsman in Andy. It’s looking amazing!
The steps are beautiful! I can’t wait to see the finished product! The patio will be fabulous as well!
This house can be compared to a castle in Germany. If you think about how many years it took to build a castle, and they are still standing today. Some castles are over 1000 years old. This house will also be there for generations to come. This shows how stable this house is, even a violent storm should not affect it. You are doing such an excellent job here, I already love you for it.
HGTV should show this work from the 1st episode on their channel, that would be worth some recognition.
Unfortunately, the channel only lives from its umpteen reruns.
Your stone steps and wall are beautiful while functional. Andy is a skilled stone mason. I found it fascinating watching the process involved in building with stone.
Get yourself a product called "ScarAway", and apply it after your blisters heal. Also, you can apply an antibiotic, Pain and Scar ointment (bacitracin zinc) over any blisters or burn areas. It heals better, and little to no scaring once burn heals.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I absolutely LOVE your stairs! Watching this was like watching my amazing Swedish Grandpa build stairways and rock walls the very same way. It's the old school method that has stood the test of time! Love and prayers from Donna in Florida....
Andy sure does a great job of explaining and showing you how to do the stone work. The finished product is amazing. Nice job!
This was definitely a rockin' episode! I loved the geology lesson as well. Very cool.
love thet little pun! 🥰 🪨 🤘
So sorry about your hand. It must be so painful 🥺. Hope you’re better soon.
I'm exhausted just watching them build the wall. What a lot of work! It looks fabulous!
Build to last 💪
I love watching all the stone work.. adore Portugal for the way they honour their beautiful stone buildings! Xx ❤💙
We love Andy. He needs to come to America. I need to hire him. He’s going to be in big demand. Everything looks great
Wow!! We believe you found another jewel on your property called ANDY! His skill and attention to detail is way past fantastically brillant. We love what is goung to be the jewel of your build. Thanks for sharing.

I love this channel!! I’ve built a life in Virginia but a move over seas is in my future! You are both a great example of truly amazing human beings! I love you both! Thank you for sharing!!
Those steps Look incredible. Andy is a master at his craft! Thank you for sharing that all with us.
What a great crew. . You guys all work and learn so well from each other. Beautiful
The icing on the cake! Stunning job guys. So much more to stone laying than what you would think.
Those stone steps are beautiful, you were very fortunate to find the craftsmen to build those, they have built character and beauty into them, loving the updates, thanks for sharing your progress and good luck from the UK
2 thumbs 👍 for Andy....great work. Love the look and feel of the stair.
Such amazing stone work. Andy knows his work. Love watching this episode.
