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.

Sorry but I'm out, hate watching character buildings die. Should have built something new if you wanted straight edges and didn't like stone.
@@gracecollins8415 what on earth are you talking about?? Have you watched the videos from the beginning? If yes, how did you miss how much they love the stone?? and they love the beauty of the rustic look. They have to follow country codes to make it a livable dwelling for human beings from the animal dwelling it was originally.
cant blame nature for two new curious goats....maybe they want to help?... like new content in the video ..lol.. love what you share with us brother.. hard working man around love ones who will enjoy the amazing home and gorgeous view.!!!!
Love the videos guys. I've been watching you from Australia. Is it something to do with camera angles or are there a lot more houses getting close to where you are? Can't wait to see the rest.
Your hands are stained with aluminum oxide, these are the particles that stick to your skin, don't worry, it's not serious.
For the goats: there are commercial repellents designed specifically to keep animals away. In the case of goats, something with a strong smell of vinegar, garlic, eucalyptus or mint, bear repellent works very well hahahaha in a container on the stairs. More complicated is a sound barrier but effective, an infrared sensor associated with a horn, passes an invisible barrier for example along the edge of the roof, sounds the horn, two things will happen or the goat runs away or the goat dies of a heart attack in the worst case there will be meat on the weekend, just kidding but the sound barrier works. The last one is used a lot in the field is: a cable with a static charge that when the goat touches it gets a non-lethal shock, just an unpleasant moment, special kits are sold, it is likely that the mastiff sees it and drives away its flock.
I hope you guys know your audience loves you and we are rooting for you. ❤❤.
Grateful for the extra video too 😊
I don't think that I've seen anyone work so hard on a renovation. Excellent work. Well done.
I would never, ever get tired of the view from those windows; no matter the time of day or season.
I’m looking forward to the day that Heather gets to sit in that window seat with a good book and looks at the camera and just smiles. So much love for this amazing family and all their hard work
Or tye sitting area outside! That will be the day!
Is it any wonder that Heather always has such a beaming smile, Brady you are an absolute legend!
Nice to see you in the middle of the week
"They're new and kind of annoying.... " The goats or the neighbors. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, I had the same thought!
I wondered the same! 😊
I used to think "what on earth possessed you to buy a stone shell of a dwelling on a steep terraced plot?". But no more. Look at it now...and that view!
Love when it's not Sunday morning and I see an unexpected video from you!
I’d really like to see what the view of your stone dwelling looks like when viewed from the town/village.
It is spectacular!! But I wouldn’t have such an ambition.
I can’t wait to see the windows.
Stay safe & I think you should milk the goats & make some cheese.
@@gingersutton8240 Very funny. Cheese. Yum.
Yes he's come a long way 😊
For your question about the window seats, I suggest doing something rustic that matches the beautiful beams above them.
I would probably pick first one. I would guess most horizontal surfaces in their house, like tables and whatnot, are going to be something more treated and slick. So it would fit, also there's the contrast and it's probably easier to clean and wont be affected if something spills.
My vote for the window sill seats is to mirror the rustic beams. This will tie them together and look fantastic! The home is looking GOOD. And, I've been snarky giggling at those goats...
I agree!
That view out the window literally looks like a painting of a landscape!
You are going to enjoy this house for many years to come. Well insulated, cozy.
Woohoo 🎉 an extra wkly video!! SOOOO excited for your new windows!! The goats are doing what goats do so I'd suggest speaking with the neighbor just to keep everyone safe during construction. Otherwise it's looking fabulous guys!!💯👌 P.S. the black coating on your hands from the duct work is called aluminum oxidation💯👌
Brady you are such a smart guy .Doing such a great job with the build
The goats are clearly the Stars of the show. My goodness, you work hard.
When the doors and windows are finally installed, at least the goats can’t come inside, but they will still come on the roof. Goats will be goats and there’s nothing you can do to stop them from being goatlike because that’s what they are. Goats. I think a dog and perhaps some kind of fencing to protect them from being able to jump onto the roof would be your best bet.
@@Garden366or break the glass on the roof
You guys are a hard working family. When you walk through the doors to your future home, I know you are seeing day by day the thrill and happened to come.
HAPPINESS
Thank you for the extra video. Always a joy to watch your progress 😊
I love seeing you during the week too. I hope we still see you on Sunday… I love watching your videos.
You guys are making we Americans look really good over there, in gorgeous Italy! 😊
Brady is exceptionally very talented American ❤ man.
You are the hardest working man I have seen. But it shows the love you have for your family! Cutting out materials from the land and turning something from nothing, worn out buildings to windows where you and your family members can read, dream, write and imagine…. Be proud and very blessed! ❤️
You are a warrior sir!! Those beautiful windows will be everyone’s favorite place to sit and chill!!!!! Love the wood for the sill, needs to play well with the header but doesn’t need to be matchy-matchy! 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥👍🏻💕
I will be so sorry to see the original double side wooden window doors finally being removed. I loved it when you opened up with the massive key and made the first coffee of the day with that amazing view.
Excellent job on the windows/stone. And I keep forgetting to say thanks for the village shots!
Have the girls make a stash of aluminum cans with little pebbles/rocks in them. Keep them handy and toss/throw them at the goats (not directly at them, at the ground near them) to keep them away. The cans make a lot of noise but won’t hurt them if you accidentally hit them. This is how we trained our lab not to go up the driveway to the road. We used pennies not stones. But you have so many stones!
Funny, your window insulation was also working fantastically as sound-proofing during the filming. Your home has already switched from cold and dank to warm, quiet and cozy. Except for the goats! 😄
I am getting excited watching this progress, can’t imagine how excited your wife is! Good on y’all, and thx for showing all the challenges. Ya Rock baby!! 👍
I’ve been thinking a thick slab of wood with a live edge would look amazing in those window sills. Sitting in those windows reading or with a lap desk and painting sounds like an amazing way to enjoy that gorgeous view! G😍ATS! ❤
Beautiful. One of the most sane channels on YT. This is down to earth life. Blessings on you .
I love home design and architecture. Going to miss these episodes when you guys are done.
When done, we can look forward to their landscaping ideas. I can just picture Brady making beautiful woiden garden furniture. Not to mention, making and placing wooden benches along the family's favourite mountain walk (up to the ruins, I think...!?)
What a treat! So happily surprised to see this video today, usually I watch you guys on Sundays. I get so excited every time I see the progress you make every week. I feel like that’s my house and I’ll be moving into it soon, lol.
I’ve been following you since you were on your knees digging the foundation out little by little with very little tools. You both are such an inspiration and so courageous…. POWER HOUSE COUPLE!
Well done Brady!
Great having bonus video midweek. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Take care and stay safe. X
Get a Blue Heeler ....... They will keep your yard safe ...... Best dog on planet earth...
I was thinking they need a dog on the jobsite too. Good goat herding dog.
Heelers will bite!
Found out by renting an Airbnb with one on premises. Was talking to the host and the heeler came over and bit me!
The next evening, I was talking to the host again and the dog bit me again!
After some research, I discovered that they’re bred to bite the ankles of sheep and cattle to herd them. That’s the way they’re bred. Unless you get them as a pup and raise them along with children, they WILL bite the children’s ankles to ‘herd’ them.
They are dangerous around small children if not properly trained and around other dogs, as well.
I had to be kept separate from that dog for the rest of my stay there and the owner did say he had to pull the dog back every time while walking him bc he was aggressive towards other dogs.
I vote for a border collie! 😊
I vote for a goat 🐐
Not for everyone
Your patience is awe inspiring… so proud of your efforts, vision, determination. Keep the eye on the prize!!
I pray& trust that you get the "big bucks" for your next venture (if you should so choose), and/or live your best life w/ your feet up & your beverage of choice on that beautiful 2nd-floor patio. You've worked 2 lifetimes.
Wow this place is going to be amazing!
Another fascinating, beautifully done video. Loved it from start to finish. The music, as always, adds another layer of beauty to this magnificent work in progress. Bravo!!!
Early video….awesome!
BTW That SPECTACULAR view gives all your windows a painting 🖼️
That scenery is stupendously gorgeous!
This house I think is built like a fortress, it’s beautiful and I love where you have all rock walls
True labor of love! Love your visitors! Know that they are mischievous but so cute!❤
Love your beam color. Later you can decide if it should be darker. Maybe lay a piece of scrap stained like the top wood, set it in there like a template. Mull over it. Then do a dark color, lay it there. Your decision will be made once electric is finally is on. I personally love the wood color you are using throughout the home.
Take some time off and cuddle with your family…thank GOD for your blessing.. your hard work and dedication show!
Those goats are relentless!🐐
it clear my mind watching you i feel calm and so happy for your family
I hope this is an “extra” video and not just an “early” video! I love seeing these bonus videos. I had to go to the grocery store but knew that I had something special to look forward to when I got home!! 😃 from 🇨🇦
Hey Brady & Heather, Just occurred to me that your parents must love being able to see you & the progress you're making on Stone House. How fun to have this Thursday video! Thank you, Brady. All is looking good! Ages ago I had asked about the girls having a puppy. Wouldn't a dog be fine company for you whilst the girls are in school & a dog would make your curious goats find your construction site less interesting! Cheers! 😃
Thank you for the extra video!!! Can't wait for the drywall stage/painting!!!
Thanks for the Thursday video!!! The window seat should match those beautiful beams!
i love watching all the hard work that is going in your home it is coming great thank you for sharing
Awesome, Brady!! I think you ought to match the wood over the windows that you greatly made!!! The wood beams you made look so authentic !!! And I love that music!!! You have inspired me with your God given talent 😎🙏
The goats are very persistent!!! Hope they don't damage anything!!
Brady, another great job you did with the windows. As always, you are a very hard worker. Maybe talk to your neighbor,by starting with a friendly conversation. Let them know about the issue and how it’s affecting you. Perhaps they were not aware that their goats were roaming on your property. Brady, if you don’t talk to your neighbor, this may be a situation that escalates. Hopefully the problem will be resolved after talking to your neighbor. Good luck I hope the neighbor is courteous, and the situation will be resolved.
Match the wood tones & finishes in your house. It brings each room together throughout the home.
Can’t help myself but having a good chuckle about your furry visitors 😄
Thanks for extra video!…Was a nice surprise, and just what I needed after the day I had!
Brady, you're a machine! I hope that the plumber is there tomorrow and ready to work quickly! Hopefully he sees how much work you've done and gives you respect. As far as those goats go, they seem like curious creatures interested in some attention and fun. Perhaps a visit with your new neighbours, a bottle of wine, some bread and cheese as a peace offering is in order. Those windows look amazing! I think you're probably going to use a pillow covering on the windowsill and some scatter pillows if you all want to sit and read books there. You'll probably need some kind of ties or rubber mat to hold the bottom pillows in place. In that case, the wood will be hidden, but need to be smooth so that the fabric doesn't wear prematurely. Final details, but a fancy, thick piece of wood might not be necessary.
Have watched for a few months,this has bern tough to see how much complete re build needed from foundations,roof,walls,now insulation,plumbing,electrics to windows but full creds to you for your continued push &perseverance.The amazing reward is now in sight 😊❤
Seriously, dude. Just block their access. It may be a pain for a while, but put something across your stairs, door openings, and access to your roof. If that doesn't work... BBQ. Don't forget to invite the neighbors, they're providing the goat.
Don’t be nasty. Typical American comment 🙄
Great job Bradey & Heather 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Stai facendo un ottimo lavoro. Continua così!
Window seat would look beautiful matching the beams
Those windows will be your favorite part of your house. Maybe it's a good time to get to know that neighbor who owns the goats. The music was interesting in this video.
I would have the window seat match the beams. 😊
We love you and your sweet little family. 😊
Awe, they just want to be your friend, give them a treat and send them home with bows on their horns lol
Goats love to go to high places, love to jump and are very curious creatures.They also have different personalities.A hot wire is the only thing really. I know with having young girls that is not ideal but then again neither is replacing a slate roof .
The girls are old enough to stay away from an electric fence.
Oh wow🥰 Thursday viewing treat ☺️
Loved waking up to a bonus video this morning!
when you finish this huge and wonderful project, I look forward to seeing your family in your next chapter of life!🦌💌❤️👍
Beautiful, beautiful home!
When aluminum makes your skin turn black during handling, it's usually due to a combination of factors:
1. **Oxidation and Corrosion:** Aluminum is a reactive metal that forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide when exposed to air. This layer is usually invisible and protective. However, in certain conditions, such as the presence of moisture, salts, or acidic substances, aluminum can corrode further, leading to the formation of black or grayish compounds like aluminum hydroxide. These compounds can easily transfer to your skin, leaving a black residue.
2. **Metallic Residue:** When handling aluminum, especially if it's been machined, scratched, or is in the form of a powder, tiny particles of the metal itself can rub off onto your skin. These particles can then mix with oils and sweat on your skin, creating a black or grayish appearance.
3. **Dirt and Grease:** Aluminum surfaces, especially those not coated or finished, can attract dirt, grease, and other contaminants. When you touch the aluminum, these substances can transfer to your skin, causing it to turn black.
This discoloration is generally harmless and can be washed off with soap and water.
You should always wear gloves when doing work with any kind of metal. Metal that is cut is sharp and there’s no reason to ingest or absorb any kind of metals through your skin.
Natural wood for the window seats. Just stain (maybe) and then oil them. Over the years they will gain a nice natural patina. 👍
Aluminum oxidises almost instantly when exposed to the air. The black oxide layer is easily dislodged, and so wipes off onto your skin, thus staining it black.
Your home is looking more and more amazing. If those goats continue to being pesky you may want to invite them to dinner....lol
Probably the window sill/seats should be the same as the beams. What ever you do, try to start light rather than darker. The exposed stone in the house will be dramatic contrast enough. Even though you have really thought out the lighting in the house, your house will probably tend to feel dark at times. It will all be beautiful. Your wife will help when the interor elements are added. Look around Italy and take note of how they do those nice deep window sills & also how they use them.
My daughter has a Maltese rescue. These goats are his spirit animal. So sassy! Plus, his name is Grover, so he is happy go lucky, like the Sesame Street character.
I bought some AG1. I can confirm they will give your money back. Because I have grass allergies, the small amount of Stevia in AG1 caused a reaction. It tasted fine. I called and explained and got my money back without a problem. I almost wished they had sent me some without the Stevia.
Que surpresa maravilhosa com este vídeo extra Obrigada parabéns aqui do Brasil
Just hope the goats won’t brake the roof glass window by stepping on it 🐐🐐
You are doing great. We live and learn. ❤
Oxidation and the oils on your skin will make your hands black when working with aluminum. Wear gloves and wash your hands often! Great job!! Fun with the goats!
The aluminium oxidates and turns your hand grey/black, it isn't toxic. I like your progress on the build.
Suggestion: adjustable shower curtain rods to hold your panels in place while the spray foam cures.
My only problem is the cutting of the insulation… like nails down a blackboard😂. I have to turn the 🔇 off. I’m such a wuss. I’m SO enjoying the whole process of your home restoration. It’s fascinating and delightful. You are going to have the most amazing home when you are finished. 😊😊😊
Just a thought, put treats for the goats somewhere distant like one level down to teach them to go elsewhere when near the house.
IDEA; run a electric wire fence along the back of the roof to keep them off.
Exactly what I was going to recommend. You can run a solar powered fence around the perimeter of the house. That way they’ll still eat your grass but stay out of the construction zone. 😂
Mmmm goat curry for dinner?
@@chasetonga it’s not electrified enough to hurt someone. Just make you think twice about crossing the fence.
GREAT IDEA👍👏❤
Yeah, it could even be that they learn before house is finished not to enter the property.
From heap of stones dark hut it has become airy with light and feeling like a habitable place. wonderful transformations.
Beginning to feel and look like a home. Cool stuff!😍
Time to block off those stairs to save your sanity with those sassy goats. 😊 They’re cute but annoying for sure. Nice work, again Brady! ❤
Wow, its so great to see your progress, you are almost getting there! I love it, im getting excited to see the final result.
I renovated an abandoned farm house in France a few years ago , very hard work and applied a lot of lime mortar, built a lot of internal walls as the original building had none and did a complete elec and plumb install , a lot of hard work but the results were well worth it, having watched your videos , I still learned a few tricks I could have used, great job guys!
❤❤❤love the music too!!!❤❤❤
Hi Brady.You have been doing a great Job from day1 and your Wife,and Children helping out to.I ❤.All of you keep going Strong and keep Cracking on.Your house is becoming a Home now.And I thank the Men that helped you So,So much to God bless you all.Your Home is Looking So,So Beautiful ❤️. Raquel.
WOW first time being just after you published the video🤩
love the view from your house. i don't belive there is a bad one. on the other hand, every time i see your view, i can't think but of the movie Hedi!
Love your work! Window seats. If your sun is strong in the window (all day) it could bleach the wood stain. If varnished you would have to completely redo it. Consider stain and a good wood oil over it. You should be able to keep it the color you like without having to strip it all back. Check to see if this happens with your master carpenter making them what is his suggestion. As he will know for your area. It happens here in Florida and in Colorado. 😊
Aluminum oxidizes in grey/black colour, so might be something to do with that. Oxidized particles gather on your hands and it's getting visible.
Maybe tile above the windows? They make tile that looks like wood.
Solar powered electric fence, around the roof, a zap won't hurt them. Kept my horses in and other things out.
