    The idea of sitting out in your new outdoor area with a cup of coffee while you overlook the waking of the day in your village sounds like a perfect way to start any day. You and future generations will be thankful for the hard work it took to bring this to life.

    Brady I give you immense kudos for having the drive to learn, process and build in order to have your dream home come to life under your own hands and those of talented craftspeople. Heather and the girls have experienced so much 🎉🎉🎉

    All and all so far how much has this renovation cast just in money? I know you cannot put a monetary value on on your own labor, , l have watched you from the beginning of this journey, have you stayed in your house yet? I love your being able to do this with your own , and drink coffee in your outside kitchen., your family and friends and the people you hire to help you on this are in my prayers, I love the church bells..God bless you all

    One thing I learned from a friend (who broke an ankle playing weekend football) was that when you have family responsibilities, weekend activities should be considered against possible outcomes: can you afford an injury? Be careful!

    Brady, you have gotten very good at shaping the stones and it is fascinating to watch the process. This is going to be a beautiful home and I’m honored to be watching it change week by week. Take care, stay safe. Oh, I forgot, I am so happy to see you wearing a mask when you are making the cement, saving your lungs!

    Thank you from Missouri for sharing this journey with us. I love watching your adventures with your family and now with all of the workers who have helped you along the way. You do a great job with the narration and editing, and the music that you use for your views across the valley is awesome as well. Your work ethic is inspiring and I know that you have learned so much on this project. Can't wait to see the finished project and from the excitement in your voice talking about the wall and being able to sit there with your morning coffee I know you can hardly wait as well.

    What a laborious job chipping at all those stones and mixing cement. I am sure that your efforts will be rewarded ten fold with the completion of your dreams.

    I loved seeing your hiking/rock climbing adventure and the beautiful landscape! Definitely would enjoy seeing more of that.
    Not sure how you all feel about it, but I would love to get caught up on your girls and how they are doing in the Italian schools. I bet they are getting pretty fluent in Italian now!

    Brady, you flunked geology 2x & ended up working with stone - ironic, yes. I flunked math 2x then ended up drafting for a living years ago - using the math I flunked out of.
    Funny how these things happen huh? I am retired now but ended up being a caregiver for those who need help both in their homes & private facilities. Serving others was more rewarding. ❤
    Well done pal. You have a LOT to be proud of, all round. You have a beautiful wife, daughters & now working on a beautiful home in a beautiful place. You are blessed & I wish you & Heather even more blessings going forward. ❤ Much love 🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🇨🇦
