Hi guys! Glad to see you back in Italy. Quick idea: maybe do a 10 minute video of yourselves guesstimating which projects you hope to accomplish i 2024, but don't post it. Hold it until Christmas time and take a look back at it. Maybe publish it then, together with a 2024 review to compare January thoughts to December reality. Whatever you accomplish I wish you a safe and exciting 2024!
Could you please do videos of the town below your home? And maybe where you now live? And maybe where the children go to school or play with friends or what they do during the day?
I live in a small SE Alaska town, and while traveling and seeing family in the lower 48 is really nice, the hectic, noisy, fast paced life is just NOT for me. It is so quiet in my home that I can hear my heart beat. Yes, there are a few jet flights in and out of here a day, but that is pretty much the only disturbance. I love the fresh, cool, ocean and mountain air that surrounds me. The slow pace and the wildlife: deer, squirrels, bear, and on the ocean about 500 feet away, there are otters, sealions and whales. You might call it heaven. I call it home. I am so glad that with all the work you are doing there, that you realize that this place really can be; that it IS home.
Man. you don't take precautions at all while working. I watched few of your videos and you were lucky not to get hurt on many occasions. Be safe. You have a long way to go.
I think what I heard was it already is a home. You’re just enjoying creating the vessel that will best support your lifestyle. Enjoying watching your creative processq
I recently start following your journey with the stonehouse in Italy. I am impressed over your achivement and workeffort. I have a cabin with my son and grandchildren up north in Sweden. We converted a woodshed to a small house for me, my son build it with me as a sidekick. The result is ❤ It is also lovely to have the children around and see how they learn by the process. All the best to you and looking forward to hear about your new plan🤗Anneli
I'm so glad that you bought the proper climbing tools, now Heather, can help you, perhaps it will go faster for you also. Sure us a lot safer, and takes less time. The new land scape, and the new road to your home, all will be great time savers. Change is good. Hug each other and the girls for me, you have a beautiful family. I want to say thank you for letting us share your adventures, with you. It means a lot to me.Sending my love and God's blessings to you all, stay safe and well. Wanda In N E Ok
Welcome home. It's good to see your faces and continue on your journey. I love watching the work yal are doing on the house. Side note, as a professional photographer/videographer, I have huge amount of respect for the effort you all put into the production side of the journey. Thank You and looking forward to the next installment. Oh also, I have been working on a reading nook made from 8x8 (ish) milled oak beams that I have been working to make look hand hewed and aged. I feel your pain but totally understand your desire to have that beautiful look.
So glad you’re safe & sound…..missed your updates and look forward to watching your progress on your home! Keep in mind, there’s a huge difference in a house and a home! Keep the faith! (Charlotte, NC, USA)
I love watching your videos I think your very brave to move so faraway from your family and friends 👍🏻👍🏻🥰 I’m from Iceland but living in Danmark renovating a house from 1777 💪🏻🥰
Wow! Have been missing you all. Last night I re-watched some of your videos….considering I was having withdrawal symptoms. Ha! Welcome back! Onward and upward!
So glad to see you back! I was beginning to worry that something was wrong. I had to smile when you admitted that you've grown weary of the nomadic life. I remarried at 50 years old (new hubby was 61) and even though we held down fulltime jobs, we traveled at least twice a year for the first 15 years of our marriage! I thought that as soon as we both retired that we'd be finding all the cheap flights and traveling even more, but to our surprise, we, too, realized that we'd grown weary of traveling and wanted to stay at home - or at least do day trips in our own country! We still travel once a year and stay for 5-7 weeks, and that's plenty for us. Welcome home!
I don't understand why you ar4 stripping - planing? the beams only to put back artificial ax marks? Sandblasting might have been better. It would have left the original texture and onl removed the outer surface cells of the wood to make the beam look fresh. . .
That's what they didn't care for. They like the ax marks. They didn't want a smooth surface from a factory. He explains his preferences in a previous vlog.
@@Ana-oc5ip - I keep hearing that from a few sites but his don't seem to show up very often. I watch hundreds of these DIY videos every month. I'm retired and so many are so short it isn't very hard to do. But what "factory finish"? It's a an old building with the original beams that didn't come from a factory. It's a kind of kitch gesture (fake or artificial and not reflecting reality and often preferred to the real thing) to apply fake texture to erase the original history . All he's really saying - if you know how to read these actions - is that he wants the beam to look more haphazard and sloppy than would have satisfied the original carpenters who put it there. The original beam did not come from a factory and they were better carpenters than to leave ax (or adz) marks. The original carpenters would have laughed at him for ruining their more careful preparation. And they would have been rural men who did just as much as was needed and very little more. That's the sort of texture you could find in those foam beams people used to use in their basement playroom for that "rustic look". Just remember - if the guy screws it up the next owner will probably consider him a hack and redo his efforts. The next one might very well plane it all down again. That will apply to so many decorators who go at the chateaux. What the heck, " it's a look". and it's sells tools and materials but it's a garbage historic preservation effort if he's at all interested in that. No wonder italy has such strict rules about the appearance of these buildings in the landscape. But that building is only really valuable because it is still somewhat useful and dirt cheap.. It's not a listed building I guess. Remember that the more expensive these places become the more discriminating the owners will tend to be.
I am glad you bought scaffolding. I am a safety professional in the USA and you have done so many dangerous things I feared for you and your family. Often, our best workers that are "just trying to get the job done" and not following the safety rules or training have the worst, life-changing, injuries. Be safe. People that watch your channel care for you and your family. In Industry, often, the injuries are due to lack of senior leadership and complacency at a site. You are the leader of your family. Show them how to work safely!
Thank you for this valuable information to this lovely couple. Their children deserve a healthy set of parents neither disabled or gone forever. I just don't understand why people don't practice better safety procedures in their work life and home renovations. It seems as though people are in way too much of a rush
And watching you, Bradey, sand without a mask... oy! I cringe. Please wear a mask - if only to set an example! My uncle died of cancer that came from working in a sawmill.
Be safe. My husband is disabled because his work drive and never wanting to be a failure. He experienced many injuries because of unsafe working conditions.
If that green powder is what gives you all that energy, I have got to try it. You both are super people with the energy you and all your family display.
...Martijn's fireplace-stove-bread oven extraordinaire looks like it will pass the test of time and survive for centuries to come... it's pretty awesome & a real survival-off-grid practical and useful thing for heat, cooking, and even storing wood inside his stone cabin... plus it is super-efficient. I wonder if the Voyagers have ever watched him. He just finished that fireplace-oven several weeks ago.
Great to see you and family back, would like to see your new 2024 adventure .Wish you have Happiness with Healthy ,Funny , Richy and Funny life through year 2024 .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Hi!!!!!!! Welcome Home!! Funny... just yesterday I suddenly thought; "Oh!!! Where are my Raising Voyager Family?!?!? I've not seen them in awhile. Did the algorithm do something/drop them??" And then "Poooff!" here you are! I'm glad that you had a long break. Breaks are GOOD, especially for reassessing everything. I love that you missed your home and were anxious to get back. (I personally think that travel is EXHAUSTING! but then... I've nearly always traveled alone and THAT is totally different). Part of it is the aging thing. But I do think that part of it, for YOU especially, is that you are creating something wonderful... and the excitement of carrying out that process and arriving at your destination IS a journey in and of itself! So glad to have you home and back in touch with all of us! Cheers!
So well put. I used to get unhappy if I wasn't buzzing around and traveling and even moving to new places when I was younger. I guess that travel-bug is less insistent than he used to be. I still love learning about new places and people(s) and history and culture... just more from the perch of my armchair. 😉☺💓
@@kindlydude Yes... and I think, when younger, the excitement carries us along. I think EVERYONE should live in a foreign country for at least 2 years and have to learn a language they don't know. It's a unique education and would go a long ways to the promotion of World Peace... Bravo to you for being interested in other cultures and History!! That's laudable.
Bentornati alla base❤. It was good to hear your sincere feelings about that astounding mountain stone house, a sense of belongingness and its surroundings. Take care.

Sanding the floor beams at 16:00 you neglected all your safety gear, still not back in the swing of things?
As the saying goes home is where the heart is and you all found yours its a anker in this world all the best 😊😊😊❤
