- We discovered a waterfall on our property! We have discovered so many exciting things as we are renovating this historic stone cabin in the mountains into our dream home, including a natural spring that we turned into a pond! But what thing we never thought we would find is a waterfall!

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.
Thank you for being here! We would love to have you join us on instagram as well! instagram.com/raisingvoyagers
🎉 Hey, guys, i'd really love to see yoproperty from the city. Can you see I'm at? I'm assuming since how we can see the city. From your property, you can see your property from the city. I would just love to see that you're mountain that you're on.
very handy to have a friend to help,beside,he is helping you to improve your Italian(that is already pretty good).
Who is helping you? It must be so much nicer having someone to help. I'm sure it must make the jobs seem more manageable. You're setting a fabulous example for your girls of how to work dor what you want to achieve despite particularly difficult odds.
Truly love the view! The automated wheelbarrow has really sped up the progress. I enjoy watching the videos. I have subscribed to the travel how to, as we want to travel some. Thanks, have a great week!
How is Stella doing these days? Hope doing well in new home.
You guys are doing a really proper job. When it’s complete, it will be a home that lasts for millennia. Great work friends.
Very happy that your terraces & surrounding land were superbly created for water drainage. Its amazing how the "old school of craftsmanship" withstands the test of time and weather - and definitely something to be said about how they did things - if only they would be around to teach the rest of us. The local tradesman are a gift. You are doing an absolutely amazing job!!! Its taking shape!
I’ve been watching for months while you toil through insurmountable and incredible obstacles with a wonderful attitude. The family is fun and the enjoyment will be immeasurable. Keep going. I for one am very proud of you
Wow, thank you! That means a lot 😊
It will be beautiful and solid when you are done sure hope the waterfall will last a while it is so peaceful twisted to it 😊😊😊❤
Hello from Johannesburg, South Africa - so enjoy watching your progress, what you’ve achieved is amazing! How I envy the peacefulness of your mountains.
Am watching you from Uganda Africa am sure you coming to Uganda on your travel voyages will give you and your family a memorable experience of your life.
Hi Brady - my husband who is a health safety officer & MD suggests that you wear a mask when working/mixing “dusty” concrete powders. Please protect your lungs - even if you’re working outdoor. We want you to stay healthy !! We’re so proud of you guys !!
Even bakers must protect their lungs from wheat's flours and other flours.
Reason silicosis
That dust turns into concrete in one's lungs.
Silicosis is from rock four.
DOOM comes when you add cement dust. 100,000 times worse than smoking. Tobacco smoke is organic. Stone flour is mineral and is microscopic glass that NEVER goes away
This comment should get a heart! I was going to say the same thing. Anytime you are doing construction you and your men should be wearing good masks to protect your lungs.
You are so talented Brady, I am all awe how you face this immense task. I am not a young woman anymore but honestly, your determination, attitude gives me such a boost to live my life to the fullest every time I watch you and your girls building a future for yourself. You are my all time champions, take care! Love from 🇨🇦
I think your family is truly amazing! Whenever I watch a 20-minute video, I realize the immense amount of work it must have taken to create such great content. Brady, I see you putting in a lot of physical effort into building a home, and at the same time, your wife is doing an even more demanding job. She's ensuring the kids are doing well, helping them adapt to their new life with new friends, and taking care of the emotional load. She's also making sure she's strong enough to support you in your endeavors. It's not easy for her, and I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate her incredible effort. You all are such an inspiration to me! Love from El Salvador.
Here's a tip for future concrete work, when you park the empty barrow ready to fill from the mixer, park it in the direction you need to go, once it's full you were using heaps of energy to back it out and turn it around. Good luck with the rest of the 'reno', it's hard work (you save on gym membership owning any farm) It'll be immensely rewarding for all involved.
Congratulations on heading into the next phase of your project! How lucky you are to have a friend to help you mix, pour, and scree all that concrete!
Too bad you don't have a very big storage tank to hold all that water for lean times.
So exciting to see you get closer and closer to building back up instead of tearing down!
Yes!!🤗
Bradey you've lost weight, loss due to the hard work and also for the genuine food that we've here.
You are so fortunate to have your friend helping you with the concrete work. He's an absolute angel for doing so! Your Italian is improving as you converse with him, but I wondered if he is learning English from you? I would hope so!
You are doing a great job, you are an incredible hard working man
Glad to see that you've enlisted the help of another man. It's too much work for one. Getting the base of the floor in is going to speed up your progress. The house is starting to shape up beautifully.
Best to all!
Endless cement… I really do admire your patience and enthusiasm! The house will look stunning and cosy, of that I am sure.
OMG, the reservoir, the waterfall, it just gets better and better. Turning the "pond" into a waterhole for the plants sounds like a plan. Perhaps adding a couple Kois in it? Okay, maybe minnows... And/or luxuriate in it when the water is clear if you don't mind the creepy crawly fishy sensation... or temporarily toss them in a bucket ...I love the panoramic views. It's my happy place. I can only imagine how it must feel for you. And nice company to boot. So as they, tally-ho!
I am in absolute awe of the work you're doing and the way in which you go about doing it. Cleaning your equipment after back breaking work all day... Just Wow👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Can't let that dry on your tools. Next thing you know your wheelbarrow and cement mixer weighs 1000 lbs and you can only mix and carry a cup of cement at a time. Lol
Nice job! As a construction worker I only have one suggestion for you. Throwing sand with an iron shovel is so much extra weight for your back. I started using aluminum shovel with a special light wooden handle (kapriol lighter). It weights les than 500g. It makes a huge difference!
If you dig a ridge above your spring, you could slope a roof to divert water leaves etc over your spring. And given the head pressure you would get in the pipe down to the house, you could use ceramic filters and an ozone generator to turn the spring water into drinking water.
You are the hardest working young man I have ever had the pleasure watching.❤
Amazing, just amazing. Truly an engineering feat. Step by step. At 79 I admire your tenacity and construction skills. Watching your stone cabin unfold is just pure amazing. God speed! Love your waterfall discovery too! Mother nature is wonderful.
I hated to see this video end! So nice to see you beginning to build back better!
Dry stone walling is very resilient fir sure. But don't over romanticise them. Contemporary walls are engineered to allow for the movement of water but if done correctly will also stabilise the slope far more effectively than dry stone walling. If the slope starts to slip due to saturation the dry stone wall will simply subside and move down slope with the landslide. A well engineered reinforced wall will inhibit the progress of a landslide.
Hard Work always pays off. Can't wait to see when it's finished
you should plant a few aquatic plants in that sauna and make a nice concrete or stone sculpture. a nice bench and you have a nice spiritual corner!
That was so interesting to watch as you worked through all those required steps and you walked your viewers through those steps perfectly. To find the water fall was epic. I, for one, am really seeing the progress and development of a modernly outfitted living room and office. You can be so proud of this work to make a livable home. It will be splendid. Don't even glance back till you move in then look back through your videos and take a deep breath and be grateful for how it all came together.
You all certainly have an incredible work ethic👏👏
Great video! Beautiful waterfall! You guys are working so hard! Great that your friend came to help, you must so appreciate it bcz you normally have to do so much yourself! Just imagine some day you will be able to sit down and enjoy and live inside your house! That day is getting closer every day! Take care of each other!❤️🙏🏼🥰😎👋🏻from Ontario, Canada🇨🇦
Getting there at last . Coming along good now.Well done xx
The waterfall is so beautiful!
❤️
It’s really good to finally see you pouring the floor!
Wow, what a labor of love! Your house is going to look phenomenal when you are all done and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I know it will be amazing but I’m waiting to see what kind of amazing it will be. If that makes any sense.
Person from El Salvador said it best. Your family is amazing.
I can never get over the beauty of your view! It’s a good thing you know what you’re doing with making the vent holes, they could be so catastrophic if done haphazardly. It’s coming along beautifully since you’ve started, I’m enjoying watching the progress. ❤
Great job guys.👏👏 Love the waterfall ! Greetings from 🇨🇦
Thank you! Cheers!
So happy it’s now time to build up instead of knock down , I’m really enjoying watching your progress
Gorgeous waterfalls! Good Karma! Maybe not so much the pond... trial and error, right? Can you make it a lil wider, enough to freeze over into a mini ice skating rink, in Winter? maybe?
I just love that lil mini excavator, tank, dump truck! Genius! I first saw it here and have since, seen it used by others. Kudos on getting the sub floor in! Looks sooo good!
Amazing, Outstanding Progress on your Italian mountain home!!! 🥰🎶❤️🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦
What a great friend to help with cement work. The hardest job on earth I believe is cement work in my experience. Love your family. 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
It’s so exciting that you’re pouring your floors now in your new home. Seems like you’re making so much progress each day. You all work so hard!! Before you know it you will be moving in. Good job you all!!
WOW!!! What a discovery finding a family viewing their challenges in Italy. Discovered your videos just a week ago and I have watch your progress. I admire the work ethic, your imagination as to the finished house. IM in my eighties and did similar work In England working on restoring a 150 yr old castle but we had team of volunteers, about 40 yrs ago, Facinated by what the Local Authorities deem to be necessary for compliance. Underfloor ventilation to dry the underfloor wet areas. The were doing this 2000 yrs agoThe ITALIANS have been building along time, i think they know what is necessary for a cosy future home.
I smile every time i see you and your volunteering emptying concrete from the mixer. I taught the volunteers to have the barrow facing the other way, no turning with a full load of concrete. You are doing a wonderful thing, and so looking forward to seeing the finished home. Bless you all.
Bradly
I love your channel!! And I know you more then me Heather.. Can’t wait until you start decorating😂😂👏🏼👏🏼 I’m so curious of the route you are going to take when you start. Do you like antique things or are you going to do a mix of things. Just curious. I think it would be neat for you to do a video of things you like so we could see your style and what route you may go. 😊😊 thanks for all the hard work in making these videos. You truly deserve millions of subscribers.❤
Great work! Such a good friend to help you with the heavy work. What a nice guy!!
I look forward to seeing updates each week as you share your family’s journey in the Italian Alps. It is so beautiful there.
Hi you guys hey I love watching your progress with your beautiful historic home in Italy and I love the little village you can see. I would love you to show us around your little village. Blessings Ashley
Watching you work on your home, pouring all that cement, building walls etc is all hard work. It is also bringing up memories of growing up in Vancouver Canada watching my Italian (from Veneto region) uncles and dad do all their own home renovations with lots of cement making and pouring, walls, plumbing, electric etc. They’d always do the work together, that’s over 60-70 yrs ago.
Every time I see you lifting and pulling those rocks I keep hoping 1) you’re wearing steel toed boots and 2) not injuring your back. Stay safe!
Your family is very special for being very close and loving. It’s such a joy to watch you.
The jackhammer is the only way but at least you have your motorized wheelbarrow to move the stone. Just thinking of your back.
Mountain runoff is always a concern and ever changing. Thankfully you have stone walls to divert flow which is why your hundred year old walls are not there by accident. Great video
Finished too quickly for me today. 😊 Great job, I never imagined there would be so much work, BUT, all worth it, Have a nice day.
It's great to have that much natural fresh water on your property.
The very definition of “take care of your tools and they will take care of you!” ❤ Makes me miss my dad, he would have loved this adventure.
I admire you and your family so much. Can’t wait to see you get moved in. Your mountain cottage will look so charming at Christmas, all decorated and homey, with a fire burning in the fireplace.
Good morning from Canada. I love your view. It is something I would never get tired of. The scenery is so special. 💕💕
You are a family to love and admire. Brady and your helper, please be very careful of not breathing in the cement dust... I so look forward to watching your videos each Sunday. Thank you Heather for making this possible. Question: If we skip an ad to just see your video does this negatively impact your income? If it does I'll gladly let them play. Please let us know...most of us don't know how youtube works.
Many blessings and prayer for you! Sending much love from New Hampshire, USA.
Wow the waterfall. What great energy. All is looking so good.❤
Great progress. I’m more excited for you and your family with every episode. 😊😊😊
This has been the most exciting show so far thanks for sharing.
Aww thanks so much!
What an absolute jewel of a friend you have found there both of you doing some seriously hard work…people like that are few and far between in life congratulations on getting things done … what an incredible place you are building …stay blessed
I'm so excited to see you turn the corner to build up the floor. I feared for the beautiful walls as you dug deeper and deeper into the floor. Great work. Great content. FYI: We love our HoverX1.
Great to see the first sub-flooring going in! Your friend, Dani, (hope I got that right) is really helping you out at this stage as there are some things you just cannot manage on your own. Things are really starting to come together, a couple more rooms to lay the sub-floor and you will be working upwards. Keep up the good work! Best wishes from Sydney, Australia
I can't believe that all of the digging, drilling and pinning is done in this room. Seeing you push the pipes through the wall gave me a large sigh of relief. You have all worked so painstakingly hard to get this room ready. Congratulations on the first room to be completed. Next...the office. Take care of yourselves!
Great progress congrats What a lovely person helping you with all this very heavy work
Love seeing that concrete going down ❤😊
Greetings from Doylestown, PA. And thanks for another dose of awe. You guys are truly amazing!
Amazement and awe continues! 👏🏻👏🏻
I don‘t think it will be the last thing you will discover, you must be pleased, you‘ve almost achieved another milestone
Brady, you are a rock chopper to be reckoned with. Those boulders don’t stand a chance.
are the kiddos fluent in Italian now? How do they like the school there? How is it going with your residency stuff? We are going through similar and starting our reno in Northern Germany, awaiting residency permits :)
I was going to ask the same thing about the girls learning Italian. I think they've mentioned liking their school, but I'm not certain.
Friends and cement mixers make all the difference! It's looking good
I am so glad that everything is coming along so well. You are a hard working man, hope your dream home becomes a reality soon. I always enjoy your videos, great going 👍🏼👍🏼
Great progress guys! Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful journey with us
Thank you for being here 😊
@@RaisingVoyagers your welcome anytime
Brady I take my hat off for you!!!!!The pride and hard work you are putting into your property is to be admired!!BRAVO!!!!🇬🇷 🇬🇷
You guys are so inspiring to watch. Every wheel barrow, every stone, every day and meal. The kids and both of you experiencing amazing things each moment. I love watching your process so much I started my own channel as I get ready to move to Portugal in Dec looking for my own piece of paradise. I sure know how much work you guys do on editing and filming to create amazing content. Thanx again. HUGS
Gina Fiore in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal. Cheers
I ,m from Srilanka, I like your videos, trying to learn English, I watched all ,Wish your family dream house be complete soon ❤blessings ❤❤❤
Wow! That is really looking great!
Now that you know that that one area occasionally has a waterfall, you might consider building a small containment area below it--and allow the overflow to run off into another lower containment area etc., etc. Would make a great way to collect and store water. No sense letting it pass you by and go to waste....
In the US it’s called a mud slab, but typically it doesn’t have re-bar.
Nice job!! That waterfall is awesome too...
It really is! Thank you!
I just love to watch your channel every Sunday, greetings from South Africa ❤❤
Wow, it feels like things are starting to pick up speed. What a good friend, Den did you say? He has been helping lots!
You and your family are doing a great job on your new/old home. Congratulations on finding the waterfall!
Pouring concrete is so much easier here in Canada. Amazing watching you invent as you go. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
As I've said before, you have quite a magical property and it will always provide and sustain your spirits ✨️ ❤ love and light to you all.
It is a bit late now but ....turn the wheelbarrow in the departure direction before loading it with concrete! Time and effort saved with so many trips to make. Great project!
Hello Brady,
Having spent a significant amount of time visiting with my family in Northern Italy (many of them employed in the construction field) I noticed how your shoveling skills have evolved since the beginning of this project. I was asked to help prepare the irrigation ditches in between the rows of corn on the family farm. When the "American" picked up the shovel, it was clear that I had no technique and was immediately given a lesson on how to shovel with the legs instead of the arms and shoulders.
Always look forward to hearing about your experiences
Thank you for being here 🤗
I love how the mists hang in the valley and the church bells.
Amazing work that you guys are accomplishing
I've watched several episodes and may have missed one that would answer my question. I see the stepped hillside that is your property, but I have to ask, how close and where do you park your vehicle. I mean, I watched the episode with the huge earth-mover and had to wonder just how the heck y'all got it to that section of your property!
:Your are making great progress toward your home. It is amazing to watch all you do. The water fall and river were a wonerful sight, especially since they did not damage your place.
Good to see the land coping so well with the water. You are really getting stuck into this place now. Are you still hoping to be in for Christmas, kinda.
I'm learning so much from watching you work so hard! Sorry about your little pool! I give you all a ton of credit! Beautiful job! Beautiful view! Blessings from New Hampshire USA
Wow and after all that back breaking hard work you still have the energy to clean your equipment. You are truly amazing. Well done can’t wait to see your home when it’s finally finished. Best wishes to all of you.
Like to see a man that cleans the mixer properly
You guys are the definition of "Amazing!" Blessings
You guys!!! I’m so excited for you. Even if it’s only temporary, WHO has a waterfall to call their own. ❤
Thank you so much!! I discovered your channel a few months ago. We were staging and selling our townhome and bought a house just a few blocks away. It was so daunting, stressful and a lot of work. Wathcing you guys gave me great comfort! All that we had to do was not nearly as hard. lol. So thanks once again!
Go Brady. Go Heather. Go Brady. Go Heather.
Show us a bit more of the river and waterfall if you have a minute, that was impressive. House coming along nicely ❤
Thank you for explaining how the water is able to pass through and around the stone walls. I've been very worried about your safety. I will breathe a little easier now. I have seen too many videos of mountains sliding down, taking everything in its path with it. Here in America, a whole town and all the people disappeared FOREVER. I'm glad you pay attention to some of the suggestions that are constantly coming. In particular, turning the wheelbarrow BEFORE filling it with concrete should ease the work load a tiny bit, compared to the gargantuan job you are doing. And quite well, I may add. BIG Thumbs Up! from Marysville, Ohio.
