behind your house remove part of the terrace that covers it so the dirt does not push on it. It will be a little half pipe shape sitting on it's side so you do not lose the power of that terrace. with this you get to walk behind your house.
Like the traditional Italian espresso coffee maker they are the best. Have you tried the espresso chocolate it has espresso liquor in the middle, only really available in Italy mainly
Welcome to Italy ❤️ I have to admit I had a bit of sadness when I thought about our old heritage houses being sold to "foreigners" but your hard work dedication and respect for the place really filled my heart. You deserve every inch of that beautiful land and I really hope you will fulfill your dream to go and live in the house you so much worked for soon. You are an inspiration. With love, respect and gratitude, Roberta
I just hope they don'tgo try to change the way of life of Italians. Americans usually try to force new communist type rules. I am American & frustrated on how America has so many laws, that we feel choked. When I visit other countries I feel free. I recently had to get rid of my dog because HOA communism.
@@vallroadtrucking5177 oh stop the nonsense, you're living in America you have no idea what communism is, all country's have law's and rules that you must follow.
This is a 7-month montage to how incredibly hard-working and industrious Bradey is. Without him, it would have taken 700 months. My hat is off to you Bradey, you're an inspiration to all men!
True! And I kept thinking how absolutely pathetic our union driven labourers are in South Africa, they would have downed tools and made huge demands. But I guess there is a difference to being an owner to being a paid worker. But HUGE respect to him.
The world needs more 'people' like this. Hard working, going for a dream while young enough and Bradey, such a wonderful father you are to your daughters. The support you are giving them now will improve their future. Lucky Heather to be gifted with the common sense to go for the 'great guy' and not the 'bad guy'.
Yes he did do a lot of work! I also thought it was quite amazing how his wife and daughters put their all in everything they did, they all worked so hard and created lasting memories that definitely made them stronger!❤
I agree. I saw so much dedication to his own deadlines. The whole family wants to enjoy the property. I love their daughters. They both have such distinguished personalities that really make it extra fun to watch. I'm actually feeling quite jealous of that beautiful countryside.
What a beautiful young family. This young man is a credit to all men- his strength and tenacity to do all that building work, as well as well as his skills- bravo, you’re amazing.
And his amazing wife was right alongside him learning and helping in any way she could! What an amazing family! Also how they both included their daughters, whenever possible, will definitely make beautiful memories that they will never forget! Blessings to this hard working family!!! ❤👍
X`s 2 This young man is a credit to all men- his strength and tenacity to do all that building work, as well as well as his skills- bravo, you’re amazing.
I don't think so. I couldn't watch the rest of video after the kids playing with a hammer, electric drill and other heavy duty tools. I would never want my children to get injuries from those tools. My heart raced watching he girl's hand around the electric drill, scared the hell out of me.
@@suzanmccreadie8660 it's not about overprotective parenting. It's about SAFETY ISSUES, crying out loud. Do you ever see any counstruction working areas allowed children to be around??? It's nothing but ignorant to having kids playing with electric/mechanic building tools. Safety comes first, not ignorant.
Some of my fondest memories are of "helping" my dad on our property. May your daughters always remember this as I've remembered my childhood. Such a blessing to have such parents.
I think that Northern Italy is one of the most gorgeous places on Earth. Your home might be a lot of work but it looks like a labor of love. Thanks for the videos!
Your daughter said it perfectly, “ I feel so small and insignificant “. I will never complain on projects again. You guys are doing such a great job on building a home, but also raising a family and living and loving as a family,
x`s 3 This young man is a credit to all men- his strength and tenacity to do all that building work, as well as well as his skills- bravo, you’re amazing.
What a view! The work it takes is non-stop. I applaud you and how the little ones are being raised. The girls weren't staring into their phones, but actually being part of the process. I thank you for sharing this journey and your lovely family.🌹
As a retired woman who has learned about building a dry stone wall and built one single handed in Orkney I can honestly say how heavy each individual stone can be, I am so impressed with the hard work and dedication you all have put in to convert the barn. Such a beautiful location. Well done 👏
Imagine this home finished and waking up Christmas morning, snowing outside fireplace going! 🙌🏼 God bless your little family and thanks for the video. I love seeing hard work turn into something awesome 🤙🏼
My god - the work that went into building those terrace walls is mind-boggling! The Italians are incredibly industrious people. Best of luck with your huge project there!
Industrious is putting it mildly. This barn is a literal drop in a giant bucket to the millions of antiquities there. Imagine what it was like designing/building the Colosseum alone with zero modern tools and it's still standing, then add all the Roman antiquities still standing all over Europe, Middle East, North Africa. #1 in Unesco WH sites and history achievements.
Hi. I stumbled across your channel by accident, so glad I did. Your work ethic, tenacity and parenting are second to none. Well done. I doff my cap to you all. ❤❤
My hat is off to this young man and his wife. This is already a great accomplishment and I am sure the finished product will be something that you and your family can be proud of hopefully for generations. There is no time to waste and these two young people and their daughters are an inspiration.
Bradley moves seamlessly from construction to fixing a meal then back again along with engaging or directing the girls if necessary. Mom and Dad are dove tailing one another seemingly without much discussion! Awesome!
You remind me of the pioneers that came to Canada, they built everything by hand too, except they had other pioneers to help them. You two are doing this back breaking work on your own, 99% of the time. Very impressive.
You guys are so blessed. Just watching this and thinking about how many people stuck in dead end jobs who never get the opportunity to break out of it for themselves or for their children. I think of how awesome it is for your children to be up there creating this life along with you . learning how rewarding hard work can be when it’s for something truly wonderful, and that you’re all invested in. Always excited for the next episode
I share your sentiment, i am in this situation right now. I want to experiment other culture, language, customs, enviroment, etc, but either my teenager children or husband want to move not even to another neighborhood! wow, what a lack of ambition, inquiry minds, etc, etc, my children all they want to do is playing games and my husband too. I will move on my own and if they want to follow me fine if not fine too. It is my life and it is theirs, we all have a choice, and we arent a personal possession !
This is my first video to watch on your channel and I love it! I so appreciate the balance of narration, live audio, and moments silence (just being able to take in the moment), no excessive explanations of what was happening. Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your family’s journey. I’m happy to be a new subscriber.
We are so amazed at your efforts. We too have bought a rifugio in the mountains with an additional hiccup of having to walk 20 minites though the woods to get there (no road). It is a gem of a property that no one else wanted to buy. We are blessed with our gem of a dump. Your work is so inspirational to us as we haven't even begun our adventure. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience of life creation. The fact that you captured it all on video will be a gift for your children amd gandchildren for many years to come. This is the way we Italians used to live and the way we should come back to living. Thank you ❤
We renovated a 120+ year old farmhouse on the prairie with our first 7 kids. This so reminds me of those younger days! I couldn't be prouder of you guys than if you were our own! (We have children your age!😊)
As great as you did, I’m honestly more impressed with your parenting skills. The fact that you both found ways for the kids to contribute and no one looks miserable is awesome. When I was a kid, I was forced to help my dad with projects like these and it was the worst. Lol
Those girls will remember this for the rest of their lives and understand what hard work will get you! You’re making a beautiful life for your young family
Fantastic! What a journey indeed. Finding the natural spring was a plus. Bradley, your ingenious rock pool is just the right setting. The view from your home down to the valley is exciting and magical. So looking forward to seeing your home grow and develop. Your strengths and persistence in just keeping going with all the strenuous and heavy rock work is amazing. Watching the goats just appear with their announcing bells is just an unforgettable scene. Thanks for sharing and be safe.
Wow, much respect for all the hard work. This father must also be a general contractor/builder? The knowledge and sheer physical exertion is amazing. And mostly two adults to do what typically takes a team! Definitely a labor of love and with such positive energy!! ❤😂
Im an Australian Italian builder, master of many renovations, love doing this type if work. It was a pleasure watching your family dig in; your daughters had many learning curves; to their credit. Gorgeous countryside!!!
Hi there guys ! Franz, 43 y/o French cop from Paris and thanking SO much the TH-cam algorithm for taking me to this beautiful video. I've just subscribed and guess I'll be binge-watching your previous videos on my free time from now on ! 😄 Can't wait to get to know y'all better and see your house get built up. Keep up the awesome work ! 💪👏👍
Wow, I am amazed at the progress. Your determination impresses me. Congratulations on your accomplishments. The children are learning how to be responsible and loving from your example. Good on you and God's blessings.
I'm watching Martjin Doolaard do this exact thing on his channel. He built concrete molds all the way around the bottoms after he dug all the dirt out to secure the stone walls. Looks great!
I was fortunate enough to live with my parents in Germany during the mid-1970s when I was a teenager. And one of my favorite memories is of the church bells ringing at all hours of the day. There were quite a few churches in our area and when they’re all going off at once, it’s just magical. Good luck with your renovation and your choice of location. 👏👏👏
What a beautiful place to live and bring up a family and you have accomplished a lot just imagine what you will have accomplished in the next year and years to come, take care
I just wanted to tell you that you were doing an awesome job. It’s very plain to see that y’all are dedicated to making this work. Another thing I like about it is that you’re very different than other channels. your taking on a huge undertaking by turning a Barn into a house that also on the side of a hill. I wish that I could come there and help you do it but unfortunately I’m disabled now I spent 40 years in construction and the still gets the creative juices flowing. 👍🏻
I am only at the beginning of this video having major nostalgia. As a child my siblings and I helped our parents build our very small house. We also had an outhouse. My dad is now on to his eternal life, and this brought back memories that filled my heart. He use to use the orange Home Depot pencil. Every time I go in there I have to hold one . Your daughters will one day remember this with such fondness. This for sure has brought me back and as I write to you with tear filled eyes I’m beyond grateful my dad and mom blessed us so much we can now look back with so much appreciation.
You have some serious skills! My back aches just watching you move all those rocks. This is the first of your videos I saw, and I'm so impressed with your kids and your whole family. What a great adventure you're taking those children on!
Give this man a medal. His skills, kindness and patience towards the process and his family, and the manner he encourages his kids to learn is what makes strong children. Cheers to you sir.
Your hard work is paying off. I'm 68 years old and get tired watching you, but if I was young and strong and had a view like yours I might be inclined to go for it too!
The time and back breaking labour that you put in to this is astounding. I hope you live long and happy lives in your beautiful stone house. You have certainly earned it.
🔨🏡🌟 What an incredible feat of dedication and hard work by Bradey! The transformation of the abandoned barn into a restored stone house in just 7 months is truly impressive. It's inspiring to witness the passion and commitment that Bradey brings to this project. The renovation process must have been challenging but seeing the final result must be incredibly satisfying. Kudos to Bradey for his exceptional skills and determination. 🔨🏡🌟
Very interesting. Now I'm hooked on this. My partner is from Greece. As a teenager, he lived in the mountains of Greece in a small village, now abandoned, and herded goats. I showed him the goats going by and he loved it!! Bona fortuna to you and your family.
The walkway/flower garden is the best. That's the work that personalizes your property. You all have really put your hearts into making it a home. It will be beautiful. Best regards to all!
What a perfect location?!! 👍 I am sure the locals are taking an interest too. I love that you understand the importance of involving your children in the tasks too. This is what makes a home a home. And Chloe and her sister are so animated in helping with the work. Love them!! 💗💗
What an incredible place and a strong close supportive loving family working together appreciating the breathtaking creation Surrounding them. Quite inspirational feeling.
First of all, you are an incredible family, everyone pitching in and the little ones being taught these skills and the value of hard work. Excellent parenting by mom and dad and a great partnership and a couple. It's wonderful to see. Secondly, Bradley, you are so inspiring...your knowledge and hard work are impressive.
Wow what a flashback in time , ,you guys have accomplished so much ,,I'm so happy for you ,,the family shows what team work can do ,,,thank you for sharing your hard work fantastic family & beautiful scenery with us,,,I also love hearing the church bell ring ❤😊
When I was in Italy, my daughter and I stopped on our way to take some pictures of a Ford dealership and other very tiny cars and I heard bells on some cows in the field, of course I got my picture with them!! I’m totally jealous!!!! Good luck on your journey!!! We were able to hike in the Dolomites and I would love to go back there. It was a wonderful experience, starting in Naples jumping on the train and slowly made our way to Venice, through Rome, seeing and hearing the Pope’s Sunday message in Italian that my daughter translated for me, Florence, Venice to the Dolomites and back then a day of pickleball in Naples and the next day, before I left, climbing Mt. Vesuvius, driving Amalfi Coast, pottery shopping, walking Pompeii and all in 14 days!!!! I will never forget my trip to Italy 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 I would love to now explore the Alps, the boot and the southern ranchers!!!
You guys rock. (Although you probably don’t want to hear any more about rocks.) You’re living your dream. Kudos to you for the way you’re making your vision reality while letting your kids be such an important part - and not just spectators.
What a beautiful transformation from the first episode… it truly is a labor of love, your girls are so fortunate that they have parents like you to guide and teach them that not everyone plays on their phones all day long. It’s very refreshing to see them engaging in outdoor activities and helping you with your homestead projects. I bet that you all sleep very well every night… your hard work is paying off your home is really coming along.. until the next video stay safe and God Bless ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I don't think I've ever seen people work so hard! I admire your stamina and vision!!! I'm hooked on waiting to see the outcome, good thoughts coming your way!
Wow - just amazing what you’ve accomplished in your beautiful hidden world! You husband is incredible and has mastered the unbelievable! Keep rocking on!!
I have no clue about building, but I admire all the hard work you are putting in. I love how you are repurposing what is already on the property. Can’t wait to see the progress!
I’m not sure what to think . The amount of work required and time spent is incredibly insane! I do see the Beauty of it all including your family. I really appreciate your hard working attitude. I’m blown away by it all. Good Luck.
They say hard work never killed anyone, but you must have been very close to dying digging the floor of the house , thanks for all your hard work and effort documenting the renovation of your new off grid home 👍🏻🇬🇧
When you moved that huge stone at 41:15, I was like, “Nooo waaay!” I have all my respect for you and your amazing, caring, very helpful Family! You turned that abandoned Italian barn into a true dream home, a home that is appealing to the eyes of those lucky to see it as they’re passing by and for the locals who definitely appreciate your hard labour youse put into this marvellous restoration project! Incredible job! Good bless you and your Family, God bless this beautiful, new home!
Great video summary. Looks all so easy when cutting 7 months of hard work into 55 minutes. I hope you can enjoy your own video summary as a source of motivation in times of desperation. All the best.
I'm so enjoying these videos. I'm impressed with the dedication you both show in building a future for you and your kiddos. I'm totally amazed at the skill shown every time a new need arises. Praying that your visas and permission to live in Italy come through soon. You have worked so hard that these Italians should be so proud to have you as citizens!

A good place to lived, family helping each other, keep safe and God bless

It wasn't ever a house tho - it was a barn for animals, clearly no locals wanted to do this.
@@vallroadtrucking5177 you're hilarious - one American family up on the hillside aren't goinfgto change the Italians' way of life!
If Italians dont want foreigners buying houses, maybe they should buy these abandoned houses themselves.

This is a 7-month montage to how incredibly hard-working and industrious Bradey is. Without him, it would have taken 700 months. My hat is off to you Bradey, you're an inspiration to all men!
Many men have done this. Before it was all captured on YT.
True! And I kept thinking how absolutely pathetic our union driven labourers are in South Africa, they would have downed tools and made huge demands. But I guess there is a difference to being an owner to being a paid worker.

I second this. The man is a MACHINE. If only we all had the drive and energy Bradey has
Beautiful countryside and everything. I just felt a little sad that they were on such a incline.
This video is mesmerizing. The amount of work this man is doing is astronomical.
You can tell he really loves his family. 😊
Yes he did do a lot of work! I also thought it was quite amazing how his wife and daughters put their all in everything they did, they all worked so hard and created lasting memories that definitely made them stronger!❤
So lovely! You guys are doing a great job!
I guess you are not looking for a gym to go to when you are done for the day. Lol. So much work but it will be worth it.
О... Такую же низенькую тележку посоветую мужу сделать, а то на тачку груз поднимать высоко и тяжело.
I agree. I saw so much dedication to his own deadlines. The whole family wants to enjoy the property. I love their daughters. They both have such distinguished personalities that really make it extra fun to watch.
I'm actually feeling quite jealous of that beautiful countryside.
What a beautiful young family. This young man is a credit to all men- his strength and tenacity to do all that building work, as well as well as his skills- bravo, you’re amazing.
Hard work indeed. What does the father do as a job ? He looks skilled in many areas - building, carpentry, plumbing and electrics! Wow!

I can't imagine waking up or hearing those church bells throughout the day. So amazing. Awesome work, guys!
Glory to God
The world needs more of Bradey! Hats off to his relentless effort!
I agree. He really worked incredibly hard.
Bradey is classic hard working man. The kind of built todays world. Feminists think there is no man's work. Likes of Bradey prove them wrong.

War Cry "The rain won`t stop me!!" Then, "Oh no.." The rain stopped me. The absolute cutest moment of all time. What a darling family.
I was fortunate enough to live with my parents in Germany during the mid-1970s when I was a teenager. And one of my favorite memories is of the church bells ringing at all hours of the day. There were quite a few churches in our area and when they’re all going off at once, it’s just magical. Good luck with your renovation and your choice of location. 👏👏👏
What a beautiful place to live and bring up a family and you have accomplished a lot just imagine what you will have accomplished in the next year and years to come, take care
I just wanted to tell you that you were doing an awesome job. It’s very plain to see that y’all are dedicated to making this work. Another thing I like about it is that you’re very different than other channels. your taking on a huge undertaking by turning a Barn into a house that also on the side of a hill. I wish that I could come there and help you do it but unfortunately I’m disabled now I spent 40 years in construction and the still gets the creative juices flowing. 👍🏻
WOW 😮😮
Such an amazing transformation over the time-lapse. It is so BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for including all of us in your journey
I am only at the beginning of this video having major nostalgia. As a child my siblings and I helped our parents build our very small house. We also had an outhouse. My dad is now on to his eternal life, and this brought back memories that filled my heart. He use to use the orange Home Depot pencil. Every time I go in there I have to hold one . Your daughters will one day remember this with such fondness. This for sure has brought me back and as I write to you with tear filled eyes I’m beyond grateful my dad and mom blessed us so much we can now look back with so much appreciation.
YOU ARE THE MAN! This is freaking awesome. The countryside, your masonry work, the barn, the goats 😂; EVERYTHING! ❤
You have some serious skills! My back aches just watching you move all those rocks. This is the first of your videos I saw, and I'm so impressed with your kids and your whole family. What a great adventure you're taking those children on!
I’m sure this was absolutely grueling work for you all to complete, but it is so relaxing to watch 😂 Much love, y’all did an amazing job.
Steel toe boots when carrying rocks. I wish I did. 9 weeks with a broken foot. Wish you guys all the best. Your doing a fantastic job 👍
Give this man a medal. His skills, kindness and patience towards the process and his family, and the manner he encourages his kids to learn is what makes strong children. Cheers to you sir.
I feel tired just watching this!! What a labour of love from everyone, especially Bradley who has persevered when many would have given up, well done!
Bradley is a man among Men! My hat is off to you Sir!
Beautiful names for your daughters! They'll never forget this time in their lives. It will always be priceless!!
Your hard work is paying off. I'm 68 years old and get tired watching you, but if I was young and strong and had a view like yours I might be inclined to go for it too!
The time and back breaking labour that you put in to this is astounding. I hope you live long and happy lives in your beautiful stone house. You have certainly earned it.
Bradey is so strong and hardworking and just incredibly talented at what he’s doing 🎉 and well done all the family 🎉
I love how you teach the kids to help the chores. It makes them a good person.
Loved this to bits. Great restoration, great scenery, great family. The church bell and the goats were the icing on the cake.
🔨🏡🌟 What an incredible feat of dedication and hard work by Bradey! The transformation of the abandoned barn into a restored stone house in just 7 months is truly impressive. It's inspiring to witness the passion and commitment that Bradey brings to this project. The renovation process must have been challenging but seeing the final result must be incredibly satisfying. Kudos to Bradey for his exceptional skills and determination. 🔨🏡🌟
Very interesting. Now I'm hooked on this. My partner is from Greece. As a teenager, he lived in the mountains of Greece in a small village, now abandoned, and herded goats. I showed him the goats going by and he loved it!! Bona fortuna to you and your family.
Omg you cannot get some men to scratch their own butt without complaining. God Bless this husband and Father!!!!
Incredible life-lesson of love and perseverance. You are great role models for your beautiful girls.
The walkway/flower garden is the best. That's the work that personalizes your property. You all have really put your hearts into making it a home. It will be beautiful. Best regards to all!
What a perfect location?!! 👍 I am sure the locals are taking an interest too. I love that you understand the importance of involving your children in the tasks too. This is what makes a home a home. And Chloe and her sister are so animated in helping with the work. Love them!! 💗💗
Chinese are for sure.
What an incredible place and a strong close supportive loving family working together appreciating the breathtaking creation
Surrounding them. Quite inspirational feeling.
First of all, you are an incredible family, everyone pitching in and the little ones being taught these skills and the value of hard work. Excellent parenting by mom and dad and a great partnership and a couple. It's wonderful to see. Secondly, Bradley, you are so inspiring...your knowledge and hard work are impressive.
The amount of work you and family is doing is incredible. Can't wait to see the end finish. I love your property 😍
Wow what a flashback in time , ,you guys have accomplished so much ,,I'm so happy for you ,,the family shows what team work can do ,,,thank you for sharing your hard work fantastic family & beautiful scenery with us,,,I also love hearing the church bell ring ❤😊
Thank you so much ❤️
Every video I’m more and more impressed at how hard you all work! I can’t wait to see the completed renovation!! Thank you for another great video!😊
Gorgeous view and heart warming beautiful Church Bells throughout the whole area. Lucky you !
When I was in Italy, my daughter and I stopped on our way to take some pictures of a Ford dealership and other very tiny cars and I heard bells on some cows in the field, of course I got my picture with them!! I’m totally jealous!!!! Good luck on your journey!!! We were able to hike in the Dolomites and I would love to go back there. It was a wonderful experience, starting in Naples jumping on the train and slowly made our way to Venice, through Rome, seeing and hearing the Pope’s Sunday message in Italian that my daughter translated for me, Florence, Venice to the Dolomites and back then a day of pickleball in Naples and the next day, before I left, climbing Mt. Vesuvius, driving Amalfi Coast, pottery shopping, walking Pompeii and all in 14 days!!!! I will never forget my trip to Italy 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 I would love to now explore the Alps, the boot and the southern ranchers!!!
You guys rock. (Although you probably don’t want to hear any more about rocks.) You’re living your dream. Kudos to you for the way you’re making your vision reality while letting your kids be such an important part - and not just spectators.
Beautiful editing!
Amazing work!!
Incredibly sweet family 💞
Thank you for sharing the journey!
I know you all are going to be so glad when you can get to building it back to what you want it to be Fantastic job so far 🤗
Very heartwarming, thanks for sharing. Congratulations and God bless you in your new home. Dreams can come true.
Its very respectful knowing you're not allowed to change anything on these buildings
What a beautiful transformation from the first episode… it truly is a labor of love, your girls are so fortunate that they have parents like you to guide and teach them that not everyone plays on their phones all day long. It’s very refreshing to see them engaging in outdoor activities and helping you with your homestead projects. I bet that you all sleep very well every night… your hard work is paying off your home is really coming along.. until the next video stay safe and God Bless ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I marvel at how you know how to do everything, in addition to having the grit to do it!
I'd say you guys are crazy for embarking on such work....but am truly amazed at what you have done. Have fun, enjoy.👏👏👏
I don't think I've ever seen people work so hard! I admire your stamina and vision!!! I'm hooked on waiting to see the outcome, good thoughts coming your way!
He is the man the real man
What an adventurous, talented, good-natured, and loving family! Thank You for sharing these snippets of your journey!
I cannot believe how much got done. You are one amazing family. Bradey is amazing!
Wow - just amazing what you’ve accomplished in your beautiful hidden world! You husband is incredible and has mastered the unbelievable! Keep rocking on!!
wow, shoutout to the hardest working dad on youtube,
Way to provide for the family!
Crazy impressive skills !
Great editing as well!
I have no clue about building, but I admire all the hard work you are putting in. I love how you are repurposing what is already on the property. Can’t wait to see the progress!
Your family has certainly been working hard! Good luck!
I’m not sure what to think . The amount of work required and time spent is incredibly insane! I do see the Beauty of it all including your family. I really appreciate your hard working attitude. I’m blown away by it all. Good Luck.
They say hard work never killed anyone, but you must have been very close to dying digging the floor of the house , thanks for all your hard work and effort documenting the renovation of your new off grid home 👍🏻🇬🇧
What PATIENCE! Great job young man!
When you moved that huge stone at 41:15, I was like, “Nooo waaay!”
I have all my respect for you and your amazing, caring, very helpful Family! You turned that abandoned Italian barn into a true dream home, a home that is appealing to the eyes of those lucky to see it as they’re passing by and for the locals who definitely appreciate your hard labour youse put into this marvellous restoration project!
Incredible job!
Good bless you and your Family, God bless this beautiful, new home!
You all have come such a long way! It has been a pleasure to follow your journey. Blessings to you all.
This house must be feeling so loved and appreciated. I hope it returns the love to this family always and forever.❤
Great video summary. Looks all so easy when cutting 7 months of hard work into 55 minutes. I hope you can enjoy your own video summary as a source of motivation in times of desperation. All the best.
Its heaven on earth place and you hear church bells that's awesome.
Watching you from Austria 🇦🇹
Nice place ❤
I'm not surprised this has 4 million+ views. Within 2 minutes I'm hooked and will watch the rest later. Beautiful people xxx
I'm so enjoying these videos. I'm impressed with the dedication you both show in building a future for you and your kiddos. I'm totally amazed at the skill shown every time a new need arises. Praying that your visas and permission to live in Italy come through soon. You have worked so hard that these Italians should be so proud to have you as citizens!
