We are Heather, Bradey, Alexa and Chloe. We purchased an abandoned stone barn in the foothills of the Italian Alps and we are working together as a family to renovate and restore this old stone barn into our dream home.
FINALLY! We can talk about this! 😂 So what do you think?? Are you as excited as we are?? And don't forget, it's the last chance to get the lowest price ever on our Travel Hacking Masterclass! bit.ly/3J7mJYk
OMG! I thought after all the work you´ve made in the foundations etc, you were almost ready to start turning the "barn" into a house, but with this new project everything changes. I think , besides de water problem, it will help you have a better floor plan, and more light. I will sure follow this new adventure! 💪
I’m enjoying your journey. Don’t listen to those Debbie Downers . It’s about the journey keep journeying!!! Excited for you.
Since you asked, I think it is totally exciting for your family! The plan seems necessary to make the place livable and probably a more healthful environment. From experience, I know it is “major” to have found a construction company to work with.
The island looks like a wonderful place to visit. The tourist best kept secret is out now!
You should visit Puerto Rico. Lot of history, site scene, great food, beaches, etc. enjoy your vacation. Happy travels! ❤️
@@hilde-ruffles2010went once n loved it!
Massive energy and training in this small family…they share so much of their learning experiences as well as hardships. They weather their setbacks well. The children have learning curves in every direction possible. It’s great that they can come and go so as not to “homestead like glue” and expand the children’s horizons.
You are very facinating, amazing people. Hope the nature/the mountain will support you. God be with you!
Will you put in skylights for light in the new addition? I have a grotto that is 15 to 18 feet into the mountain. I have been surprised at how dry is has remained, but it is dark. Your extension sounds amazing, but as you know, it is Italy. and that is going to take a lot of time. I wish you the best of luck on it all. You all needed a break from all the work you do every day. Good to get away and return with a whole new energy. Enjoy your time off.
We had to do this too behind our house, we had the mountain right behind. My husband had an engineer design it, so my husband had to build a very big footer and then a large wall. I suggest you do it right and not just put a wall behind but a proper retaining wall. My point is don’t just hired a contractor without plan! Lots of work but worth it!
Im extremely happy for y'all,my Husband and I are also relocating to Italy once our Grandchildren are of Elementary school age(I watch them while helping run our business to avoid our Daughters putting them in Daycare).I can't wait to move there and am so happy for you guys ❤
I have a sump pump french drain system. It's great for my situation, where the region has flooded 3 times in the last 30 years. It turns on frequently in April when we get alot of rain and the water table rises, but we are only actually in danger of having water on our basement floor when the watertable is high enough that the news is reporting that towns around us are evacuating due to rising water. But yes with your situation of constant water concerns, it would be a bandaid, very helpful but not a cure. and the pumps are very loud, we have 3 of them and we can hear which one is going off no matter where we are in the house and the one in the basement below our bedroom shakes the bed when it's running. Your solution to this problem, sounds scary but so worth it! Best wishes.
I don't know what's up with all the rude comments today. Jeez. I think your plans sound awesome and clearly you guys are excited. I wish you all the best in the future rennovations!
Everyone's an armchair expert these days... they have no self-awareness and speak without a filter. 🙄
It’s your dream and you have talked to experts, so go for it!
So excited for your project on making a safe home. Love what your teaching your girls with real life experiences . May God bless you all.
Thank you so much!
I am totally amazed that you purchased the property with the aim of turning the structure into a home, knowing about the water issue. Good luck
That is indeed a massive addition to the stone house, and it's neat that it will be invisible from the outside. If I'm reading that plan right, you're adding several approximately 4 meter by 3 meter spaces out the back, which means your addition is probably about the same size as our whole apartment here in Seoul! It definitely expands the option to entertain.
I assume you'll be doing your water redirection around the addition at the back so you don't just swap the water infiltration problem to a new set of rooms, but if you're covering the roof of the new space with dirt and grass, doesn't that pose some leak risk as well? Is there a plan to manage that which just doesn't show up on the floorplan because it's overhead? Will the stone walls of the original house still be thick enough to maintain their structure once they're no longer being supported by the mountain?
Overall it's a very exciting development, and I look forward to seeing what you do with all that stone! You're basically building a mini quarry for this.
Are you confident that the house can take the vibrations of all the digging ,good luck .❤❤❤❤
Wow that sounds wonderfully. Hard work but it will beautiful. Can't wait to see the end.
Thanks for sharing this news with us. Greatings from South-Africa
Please hire a licensed engineer for your ideas to avoid massive problems in the future. Carving out that big in the mountain will put much weight on the retaining wall.
So will the tier directly behind the house completely come out? Its going to look amazing. Cant wait. While there digging, put in a stone pool for the kids.
Yes, it would be. Cool to do a terrace half the size of the current ones directly behind the house so it’s not a sharp drop. It would look amazing with the found stone of the region.
Love your new plans, thx for sharing them with us. I am routing for you!
Such great plans.
Best idea ever to expand the using space more and solve the problem.
I’m enjoying watching you.
Come back! It’s been over a month of seeing your videos. I miss your family videos. I hope everything is alright and you are just enjoying life. But really hope you continue posting videos again. They are inspiring.
Great episode. I'm excited to see the progress. Happy travels!
This project(house build) will be epic. Good on you guys. So very courageous and ambitious. Love you guys.
My brother and sister in law has lived in Isla Mujeres for about 15 years. They love it.
We have been there twice!
Hooray for your family. I love seeing a different way of living. Raising your daughters in Italy is an excellent choice. Your hard work will pay off wonderfully.
Love me some Isla!!! My wife and I just love that island and have been several times. Stoked about your new phase. That is a huge undertaking! Wishing you well in all of your adventures and ventures.
Great video. You all look wonderful and happy. Got some sun saw your families rested and ready and eager to jump on a new project. Yes you can...
How exciting! I admire the hard work and all the creativity. Your family is putting into this! So enjoy watching these transformations.
Whauuu your new project is awesome and I am so happy you will Not do it by hands! Just the idea you would consider to do it manually, stressed me out!!!
It is great to know that you do it safely and the right way. Your home will be awesome!
God’s blessings for your family and your project!
I visited 12 years ago while going to a destination wedding. I have a friend who's aunt has a condo on the Isla and visits every year.
Dig away can’t wait for all the work to follow it’s a great idea love it all🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
Quite the project and glad you have a company doing it not just you. Should be interesting to watch. Be safe. All out here in youtube land will be watching.
Whilst you are removing the dirt behind the house , could you not reuse some of it at the front and put a extended deck out front into that beautiful view 😍 your passion as family is so beautiful to watch !
My thoughts precisely! I've been thinking about that for a long time long before this latest video... a HUGE FLAGSTONE SEMI-CIRCLE IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE ...maybe even large enough for a small pool or lap-pool!! They'd have a swimming pool with one of the best views in the world!!
Have to think about type of material , stability even under heavy precipitation. You could inherently cause it to become unstable if it's not done right then you become a hazard to anything below and your home ends up looking like those sub divisions on coastal Cali..
Blessings to the new build!
❤ from the 🇺🇸
So excited for you guys! Thank you for sharing your story.
Tremendous!, the diagrams make the place look so much bigger. I love following your travels, wishing you luck when you are challenged…cheering you on!,
That’s so exciting! Way to go you guys. 👍
Thank you 🤗
Great plan s for you and you will have so much space. Glad your having a good holiday a break well needed,and now you will be refreshed for your next project
Woww big project .goodluck for this one.ite really very nice place,cannot give up the place.its one big dream.love to see you all happy to live there.soo excited as you are💆
❤well done! So excited for you! It all sounds amazing, and I LOVE following along with you. Thank you 😊for sharing x
That’s wonderful and so exciting! I can’t wait to see this start and through the process!
So nice to see what's coming for you all . Dan, you haven't needed to go to a gym and it's going to be a bloody long time to come ( rock's) before you need to. Good luck with your holidays and what's to come next in your journey in Italy.Now get back to Italy and get on ( I say that tongue in cheek) I don't know how us Aussies get on with mostly only one toilet.
Extending the house back after excavation, puts the new part in the same situation-against the mountain. How does that solve the moisture or water problem ? 🤷♀️
I love your plans for expanding the house. I was concerned not only about the amount of space but also by the necessity of going outside to go from one space to another in the current structure. Did anyone in the "building codes" dept forewarn you about the moisture issue or did it just become obvious over time? Also I spent time on the Isla de las Mujeres when I went to Tulum. I hope you have either been to Tulum or will go on a future trip. The ruins are with experiencing. Also Chichinitza is not too much farther. I loved the island. I spent some time at the turtle facility where they have many different tanks with turtles in various stages of development. I loved the island. Not so much the local boat back to Cancun. If ever there was a time to use a rosary, that was it. Perhaps that is what it takes to keep the island from being completely over run with tourists.
I bet , so excited for you you guys can’t wait
Thank you so much for helping that little turtle, after checking to make sure you were doing the right thing!
Heather, thanks for feeding the kitty 🥰
Wow, that’s awesome news about the house! Yaaayyyyy, I was going to “vote” for building a “corridor”…… it’ll bring in so much more light!
Can you tell us where in Mexico you were spending your vacation? That looks like a great place! Oh, never mind, you just mentioned it 😁. How do you spell it though? I’m wanting to look it up. Never mind, again 😁, it’s Isla Mujeres.
I've been to Isla Mujeres! We love it!
You are correct in doing what you are going to do
So glad you set the turtle free. I worried you are going to leave him 😂
Way to go Voyagers!
Wow...Your new renovations sounds so very scary. Awesome renovation but scary. Praying that all goes well 🙏
Been there! 🙋♀️ Recognized it right away. 😂 Enjoy!
Thank you! Interesting as usual ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm excited for you to get the new project started and I never tire of the updates! It's going to be a slow and dangerous project so please please please be careful!!!
Wow guys, good luck. Courageous…
I went to do the travel hack master class but because of the $ difference between USD and AUD it was a bit expensive for this Aussie 😩On a positive note your house will be amazing. ❤
Thanks!
Thank you!!! ❤️
I so wish I could take your course❤
Hey guys, that’s a very ambitious project and very stressful, can’t wait to see the outcome
So exited for you. How I wish I was close by to help. X
So beautiful there
Wow, a huge task to dig all that out. Don't they have companies there that do water sealing similar to basement water sealing?
So it’s outside but underground? So, floor and ceiling with 2 walls but no walls on either end? Not sure I clearly understand, but your excitement is infectious. Can’t wait to see its unfolding!
From the plans, it looks fully enclosed, it just has two doorways/short halls that open into the original building. That means they can get into every room of the house (including the office/studio room at the end) without going outside.
The new build will have a green roof-type setup with earth and grass over the top so you won't see it from the outside; it will be an outdoor living space that is level with the second story.
Hope this helps! 🙂
FYI none of the tabs download and open from the travel course webpage. I thought it might be connection issues, but after trying several times, different locations & days, and knowing the WiFi is definitely connected, idk why. Was just going to check out more about the travel course to see if it would be a right fit for me.
Great video Brother and Sister. Super ideas for Your home in Italy 🇮🇹 😎👍♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️💯💯💯💯💯✨️
Hi - glad for your progress- one suggestion - please get to the point quickly -
Oh no?! More digging?! It feels like rhats all u do! Goid luck i hope u have a good contractors for the job!? 😮😮😮😮😮
I've been to Isla Mujeres. I believe it was 1990. We crossed on a ferry. They sold dos exes on the ferry for cheap.
The house plans look great and so exciting, it really will open the accessibility of the house. As you have workers starting soon I take it that you have planning permission for this? So presumably if Italy have approved the extension build then they must be happy for you to be permanent residents then?
Amazing. Prior to the TH-cam channel and possible revenue, how did you fund all this?
Sad that your lovely tiny house will be a big house, but I know why your doing it. Such a big project! Good luck
I absolutely love Isla mujeres. We have never stayed there however, every time we go to Cancun we go for a day trip. May I ask where do you guys usually stay. Which is one of the best hotels/ airbnb you guys have stayed in at the isla?
Hi Bradey, I was listening to an update about Israel, imagine my surprise when I heard you as the journalist giving an update. However, when I saw his face, I realised it was not you but someone called John Huddy. He clearly comes from your neck of the woods.
So voyagers would you be a le to reroute the water flowage towards the waterfall you have ???
Do you plan to plant grapes or fruit trees so they begin to mature?
I had to laugh when it was mentioned that a sauna was going to be “cool”!
I thought saunas are supposed to be hot!
😂😂😂
I love watching your family and the progress you are making. I admire your dedication and commitment to your family and gives me hope to find a man and have a successful marriage. Can u adopt me? I’m 66 and can cook. Anxious to see the future videos
PS: to my post the Isle of Mujeres was given the name Island of Women and now has been shortened to Isla Mujeres. It is a special place.
I would want a semi functional kitchen first.
I would pick travel out of the us any day over a kitchen. ❤
Hi
Just wanting to know with the travel hack course you are offering, does the hacks only apply for USA folk or world wide?
Thanks 🙏🏽
Oh thank heavens you will be able to add on to your house! I always wondered how you were going to be comfortable living there. Now I see how nice it will be when you’re finished.
We can’t wait!!! ❤️
That's scarey😮
I like the project in Italy!
The traveling not so much!
Where are you exactly? I missed the name of the town in Mexico.
You can also remove the roof and build an extra floor and possibly expand it. then you are "high and dry..."
Can I email you for information on your recent Thailand visit?
Nature is unpredictable and that house being in a zone where not only flooding but earthquakes can happen make me think and see your situation differently. Things happen for a reason. First the issue with the visa and now the water etc. I think probably that property should be left alone. There are other places where you could build your dream home. It’s just my opinion I hope I don’t hurt anyone’s feelings for saying this.
You will have changed /or removed everything in this house. Exactly what are you happy with about this home that you are not changing?
💖
What is the name of the island?
Isla Mujer.
Isla Mujeres
I don't think my system can take it .
By the way, this is their dream and project. We are lucky they share it with us arm chair observers. If you don’t like if anymore, go somewhere else. Better yet, you move to another country and make your own project and let us watch and criticize your dream. If they want our suggestions, or our votes, they will ask us. Right now they consult with experts, not us, the arm chair critics, 😆.
Hold on now, in the intro paragraph they clearly say:" so what do you think?" I wonder what that could mean, hmm.
Well said, thank you!
Love these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤
Baby turtles use their initial energy swimming out to the seaweed patches. If they’re spending that energy going the wrong way, they’ll not make it to the seaweed. This one at least has a chance now.
De acuerdo con tu comentario.
Se ven estas intervenciones desinformadas cuando las personas, considerando que están brindando "una experiencia maravillosa" a los hijos (y a los "seguidores"), no respetan los limites (marcados claramente por la valla, independientemente haya cerca un cuidador o no). Bueno, todo sea por un "like". 🙄
What a grand undertaking.. You guys are like the epitome of “quitting is not a option”. It’s inspiring to witness. Thank you. ♥️✌🏼
How exciting ! Can’t wait to see it all come together !
I so love that you rescued that little Turtle!!! With everything you're experiencing you had the gentleness and heart to notice that little guy and to help him out. Very touching. Enjoy your vacation fully. I look forward to continue your journey with you! Blessings in abundance!
Such an incredible experience!! ❤️
I wonder if little turtle has made it yet in that big ocean, I pray it lives for years, Keep on Smiling and Keep the FAITH, Heather Brady, and the girls, Hope you had the .eat fun ever.Wanda In N E Ok Bartlesville Ok.,
Surely, some watch your videos and think, “Wow! I have found my tribe!” Others may not feel the same and it is disappointing to read those posts. Your family is adventurous, fun, hard working, a cohesive team, raising children aligned with your values, and sharing your journey and live experiences along the way. I look forward to your weekly updates and pray for your family in between. I had never heard of Isla Mujeres, it sounds like a beautiful place to visit.
I watched the video. Then (unfortunately) read the comments. Watched a second time, and, for the life of me, cannot understand why this beautiful, warm family video brought out all the nasties.
Glad you are enjoying your vacation as a family! Exciting building plans ahead...may it go smoothly!
Hey Gang 👋, I don't comment much but, your home was a retreat for the farmers taking care of their OLIV GROVE 50-60 years ago, seeing the layout of the land, (not a resident's), I'm an Arechitectural Engineer and the Italian government building codes, that they're asking for, is actually destroying HISTORICAL SITES.
It's like adding bathrooms at the COLOSSEUM
God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO stay safe and healthy
