We needed to open the doorway to make it taller, but removing stones from a dry stacked stone house is not an easy task. But we are now one step closer to taking this abandoned stone barn in the foothills of the Italian alps and renovating it to our dream house.

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.
I just love the stonemason's. They are like frontier/cowboy/superheros all wrapped up into one. They need to start their own youtube channel. They would have many subscribers.
I know I'd watch. They could continue collaboration with Raising Voyagers to provide the english explainations and video side of things. Kinda a Perkins Brothers Builders, Italian style. Maybe throw in some guest visits from Bourbon Moth Woodworking (or any of many other similar channels).
❤great idea
I am so impressed by their skill and work ethic. A little secret of mine, I am (secretly) freaked out when I shake hands with a man with baby butt soft hands.ewww! These guys don't always wear gloves. They are tough guys!
And the yelling in Italian makes everything!
🇮🇹❤I just love the Italian way to work ❤🇮🇹👏👏👏👏👏
These stonemasons are incredible to watch; not only skilled, but tough, brave, and funny.
The Boss is catching up with his skills - even at my younger fittest I couldnt have done all that wood and stone prep - not in my wildest nightmares!
Love the shorter mason with the hat. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The stone masons are amazing, such a pleasure to work with people who respect their clients, profession, and themselves!!!
It definitely looked a bit dicey for a minute, there, but I love that everyone just stuck with it and didn't get panicked. Also, every time I see that stone mason at work I am awe struck.
Yeah, my heart was in my throat for most of the demolition.
This construction work is tougher and very energy draining than any other house construction so it's gonna be extra ordinary and breathtakingly beautiful
Those stonemasons are amazing, as are you Brady. I'm so impressed at what you have turned your hand to. You're creating a beautiful home for your family.
Yes, craftsmanship fitting of the location. So impressive. Great project!
I agree Brady's not the softy at all He's so tough relentless and strong, but also patient, more than I could be
What mistake was made ??

I know it's been a lot on the entire family but, little lady that husband of yours is absolutely amazing... His dedication & commitment to this project is astounding... His learning of the skills he has accomplished... Words cannot express the abundance of joy you four have given me, with this journey. ❤
Amen! It's refreshing and life giving to share this journey with them!
The Italian stone masons are absolutely amazing ❤
This is my favourite country in the world second to Canada!!! My Canada is my number one!!!
The " special species of deer " is a " Capriolo " in italian, roe deer in English , " Capreolus capreolus" scientific name.
You are truly blessed with great artisans working on your home - the stonework is brilliant!
My heart was beating a mile a minute as I watched those stones come tumbling down❤
You guys I am getting speechless more and more by the how beautiful your home is getting… speechless by the amount of hard word and beauty results of the stonemasons are making, including you!!! It is truly exciting to be your laboring and how inspiring you as a family are!!!!!
THANK each one of you! And THANK YOU for making those videos and your channel! I’m always praying in JESUS for your protection and abundant blessings! I love you!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
I know nothing about renovation but I love Italy ( I have family there) and Italian stone work so I’ve been closely watching your project. Your total respect for the for the stone and the stone masons makes you an honorary Italian in my eyes.
Those two guys are Michelangelo in stone walls. You are masters !!!!!
You should all be proud! Bravo.... I was worried about those metal supports holding the large stones on top. But you made it work. Nice work the place is going to be amazing when it's completed. Keep up the good fight!
love watching all the progress you have done and glad to see more thank you for sharing.
I'm hooked on this project. It's going to be a jaw dropper when it is all done. I love the process and attention to detail here. Huge thumbs up to the stonemasons it's a pleasure to watch and a equally big thumbs up to Brady showing humility and a work ethic that is nothing short of beast mode. I can see the respect the lads have for Brady, he is one of them.
it was terrifying to watch those stones come out, but the result is quite amazing. well done to you and the stonemasons!!!!
What a scary process! I was very impressed with the tool that was made to safely & specifically remove these stones! TY to Heather for all the great editing & filming & music selection 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
❤ The stone masons are amazing and so skilled. They are impressive!! You are doing such beautiful job as well!! Love watching the progress.❤
I can’t express how much I truly enjoy your video’s without sounding like I’m repeating others comments. Thank you for sharing!
Craftsmen like no other!! They don’t come along better than them.
Talk about stressful Brady, and Brady u handling those huge beams, and the stone mason crew are phenomenal… Great job done by everyone!!!
OMGOSH...Those Beams looked sooo heavy! It does look fantastic though. I love seeing Heather's gleeful smile! You 3 men are a great team! BEAUTIFUL ❤😊
May God give you strength and protect you from accidents 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽love watching your hard work
That is something special. And to see the expression on this Lady's face as she stands under it is priceless
Every Sunday is such a Joy!! God bless you guys!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
OMG! I held my breath for a good part of the stone dismantling. 3 beams wide! And the exterior shots of the finished wall and doorway look perfection! Like it was originally constructed that way. AB FAB 👌
Hi! I'm from Zanesville, Ohio and have been to Venice Italy before. I love your channel so much I recommended it to my 76 year old mother and she is in AWE of your videos.
Me too. I am 80yrs.
Magnificent Panoramic Scene at the end. Your Family is truly Blessed!!! 💖
Brady...you are quite the hero to me...amazing what you can do!🎉❤
Amazing!
The new doorway is beautiful! Also the stonework above! You cant tell that there was anything going on. Looks like the original stonework! Lot of respect to the 2 Italian guys and of course to you brady, you are a real man and father! All of your 3 girls can be very proud of you. Chapeu
Wow! I was nervous seeing that scaffold wobbling and all the weight of the rocks, not to mention those huge stones falling. The outcome though is spectacular! Love watching your progress.
I counted ... 4 people couldn't watch the stones coming down and they fast forwarded to the end! I presumed they backed up to watch once they knew you had guaged it right, Brady....❤
Your Giant jenga game was very emotional, even though I knew you survived because you posted this! BEST WISHES!
I could literally watch the stonemasons all day lone. Such artisans. Great video.
That was nerve wrecking and nail biting. But you and your team of masons are the best ever. Such an excellent piece of art really. Absolutely gorgeous
Wow wow what achievement with that doorway. Buono Buono. You can be so proud. It’s beautiful. Well done.!!
That was so intense! I had a hard time watching it. It looks stunning as usual, and your beams are an essential part of that beauty. I love watching this channel
Wow, of all the challenging demo on new wall openings you have done, this one takes the cake! High risk, high reward. Loved those temporary fabbed brackets holding things together while placing the crossbeam… great design/problem solving skills, Brady!
This is really challenging, but rewarding. From Brazil following and crossing my fingers for you, family😊
Well, THAT was scary. But it turned out beautifully!
Wow, how many times have I said that since I started watching your channel? How much progress and how lovely has this old barn become? I’m so impressed with your perseverance and dedication. You two and these stone masons are truly remarkable. I can’t believe I’m so all into it that I have to put aside special time each Sunday to have my “Voyager” fix! Loving it from PA, USA.
WOW! That was incredible! Those new beams look fantastic, nice work. Thanks for sharing.
I must say that it looks amazing,the work you put in plus the stonemasons is incredible.
I have so much respect for all of you, the stonemasons & Brady. The masons work with their skilled bare hands. I would love to be in their company learning & creating such a beautiful home. The evening view from your home, looking down at the lights of homes scattered beneath you are breathtaking.
That was really nerve-wracking, but what a gorgeous result!
I am a nerve wreck with that door opening !!!!! You guys have been through so much ... most difficult of all the projects I am currently subscribed to.
Beautiful and a peaceful place. The views of the town from your home is amazing.
What beautiful work.I was holding my breath along with your wife.❤❤❤❤
The wife laughs. Always. At everything.
I am so blown away at the accomplishments shown in this video! I was beyond nervous watching you take out that stone wall that supports the roof. When I read the title to this video I feared it fell apart... Not sure what the title referred to but I was so relieved to see it came came together. Those masons are worthy of admiration!!!!!! The finished wall is beautiful and looks like it has always been that way. Your beams Brady are superb! I hope you and the mason (wish I knew his name) rest up well after carrying those heavy beams. Take good care of yourselves! Brady, any chance you could ask the masons if they would be willing to let you introduce them to us with their names. We've been watching them and admiring them so much from afar. I would so love to "meet them" even if just virtually. Please at least convey to them how greatly we admire their art, their skill and work ethic. You fit in with them them so well! He's a very patient leader for letting you learn so much as they go along and let you be part of the process. Thank you Heather for the video and for the beautiful night view at the end. You are so blessed to have that spot!
Much love and prayers💜💜
It would be good to know their names. The younger fellow is Alessi, si? We need the other gentleman's name!
Those two guys helping you are a real treasure and you're getting really good cutting those beams to fit and 'ageing' them. Carry on the way you're going and you're going to end up with a lovely house you all can be proud of.
Maybe, when you are finished with the house, Brady could open his own business just finishing beams for other restorations. How do you say 'Brady's Beams' in Italian?
Le travi di Brady
It even rhymes in Italian!! @@antoniosidoni5310 ☺✌👏
They treat you very respectfully, which is not always the case when a client “ helps ‘ craftsmen.
Wonderful result. What a hard working man you have maam. Truly inspiring. A house built with devotion and love will make a beautiful home.
wow. It felt like a rollercoaster ride! I love the whole vision, The stonemasons are incredible at their craft. Bravo!
Truly amazed by your work. This is a nail biting episode.
You mean you are amazed by the work of the stonemasons😊
@@fredsoltveit8453 ...both!!
Molto bene, Molto bene!! and I Love the way Our Italian friend says Vaedy Good, Vaedy Good! Those Beams! Great work Bradey! and Heather for these amazingly informative and entertaining weekly videos! Molto bene❣
Sending blessings and peace to your family❤
It was impressive…my heart was frantic and I was even screaming a little. I am so happy for your family, your vision and resilience coming together. Heather, I felt you …Beautiful stone house…blessings🙏🏻🫶🏻
Your home is looking AMAZING! I love it.Going on this journey with y'all is awesome. I know y'all are getting so excited with each step being completed. Your home is going to be the nicest & prettiest one Italy🥰
I first thought support all the way through. Then I saw what you started with and thought okay. But the stone Mason say, nay nay, we go all the way. That was interesting. Brave.
I am awestruck every time I watch your videos! The craftsmanship is unbelievable! You are doing such a great job modernizing yet committed to preserving the history. Great job to all!❤
OH MY GOSH! My stomach is in knots after watching today’s video. Ya just gotta love your stone mason crew. True masters at work. ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
OMGThat was scary. The finished door way is beyond perfect. The stone masons are magicians. Such spectacular results. Brady you are the best helper ever.❤️🇨🇦
Excellent stoneworkers. Impressive doorway with the new beams.
I’m leaning back on my seat holding my guts down! Stress! 😂
Ok I have to admit that my anxiety about this was so high I had to fast forward to the happy ending. 😂 what an amazing accomplishment. Those stonemasons make it all look seamless! Well done all of you!
Boy, I can’t wait until the stones are all removed…my anxiety can’t take much more of this…😳. I find myself holding my breath sometimes, I can just imagine what you guys are going thru. What an adventure ❤️. It’s going to be gorgeous.
Not wearing helmets during this work is a bit scary 😱
A yellow hard hat showed made an appearance later on in the video, for the two Italians, one has a safety beanie and the other has thick Italian hair so they're all ok.
I am continually impressed by the workmen’s skill and by your eagerness to learn and your gratitude to the team. I’m sure your project will become part of the village folklore in years to come.
WOW…BEAUTIFUL WORK! AMAZING CRAFTSMANSHIP! THE ATTENTION TO DETAILS..
You guys are "knocking this out of the park!!!".....BRAVO!!!
Beautiful beamwork!!! 🥰🏰🎶❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏡
Beautiful choice of music on this nail biting episode. Great work! The doorway looks beautiful.
I could never stand on a ladder like that. Afraid I'd fall. 😨
I was holding my breath 🫣 Whew! It looks absolutely beautiful, y’all! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"Easy!" he says! That word must have a different meaning in Italian! 🙂🙂 Nice skills!
The men that you have building your amazing home are such hard workers.As are you.
You should create a time capsule to put into a good spot for when in a few hundred years someone may discover some kind of recorded history about the original build and all those who were involved with the finishing touches you are making.
So incredible to watch this evolve and enjoy the creativity and craftsmanship.
Agree with the comments 100%. But, I was near tears when I heard song at end. A real tribute & love expressed to hubby. 🥹💗
Spectacular! This Video is more exciting than a crime 😅Congratulations! A wonderful progress! 🍀
I’m glad there are people in the world who care about aesthetics. You are making the world a more beautiful place.
Gosh, such labor intensive work. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
just a suggestion, the doors youve removed from the side entrance, rather then getting rid of them have you thought of using them as sort of decorative shutters and putting them on the wall by the opening new ones, that way your still keeping them and adding to the athletics of the building. must admit heather i was with you, my heart was in my mouth watching them tear down the stone work and i had to close my eyes a couple of times, but how beautiful did the end result look. those workers certainly know their job inside out. xxxx
I was thinking…one door as an outdoor dining table and one indoor! They would be gorgeous sanded and stained, leaving the hardware in place. scary and incredible work again in this video!
If one of the doors is used as a table on the deck ...put a thick piece of glass over it ...or it will rot in no time. @@kellyh8347
The athletics 😂
Aahhhh Second commenter, got video 1 minute ago 😂🤣.
Great to watch you guys, greetings from South African Boer.
It's Sunday morning, I so look forward to watching them
Amazing work! I kept my breath several times today, worried about the wall coming tumbling down.
I have followed you since you got this house and I love to see your fantastic development of it. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤
When last week. you said what was going to happen to the doorway I honestly thought you were nuts!! But yet again you've proved I'm nuts for not trusting you. You really are a brilliant team.
Very beautiful work, it will last another 400 years❤
love watching all the progress you have done and glad to see more thank you for sharing
Alot of stress, but my god, the finished doorway is fantastic. Now the stress has changed to 'i love it'. I think by the time this house is finished you will have a very long lasting relationship with the builders, like family.
Looks so beautiful!
I really hope that at the end of the stonework that you all celebrate your progress together and give them a special send off...what a great team! 😊❤
Thank y'all for starting my Sunday morning happily. Loving the progress and process ❤
I’ll see you on the big screen tonight!
I love it looks brilliant well done love watching you Maggie Manchester UK 🇬🇧 xx
