Uncovering a HIDDEN Staircase!

Would a ditch witch cut through rock? You could at least install a french drain 4' down.

That soil would be ideal for gardens!

Use all that good soil in the garden

You can get a special membrain for tanking walls so you don’t need to build inner wall

It’s a long handled shovel; why are you double handling?

Hallo, hab die beiden erst vor kurzem abonniert. Kann mir jemand sagen, was der junge Mann beruflich macht? Ich bin sehr beeindruckt, wie er das alles meistert. Hat er irgendwelche Qualifikationen dafür? Vielen Dank schon mal:)

Don't forget they may have kept cattle below, people above, as a form of central heating, so having water for them could be a serious plus.

Every minute you put into this property would be worth waking up to that view. I could live there in a millisecond. I just think what you have up there is breathtaking. As I watch the video, I'm just mesmerized.

moisture coming in the house weeping tile inside of the wall at bottom of that wall leading to a sump. It cured my basement water problems

So re: the wet wall problem. Could you dig down in just the wettest area a two foot round hole, and put in a sump pump? Like, on the outside of the wall?

Could y⁰alll talk about the roof,😊 any what are you doings with the 😊solar 😊panel😊s

Have you considered horizontal drilling behind the house? Not knowing the geology etc this may not work but it may create a drainage tunnel for water to escape.

Change the angel on your roof to extend it out over the back wall use simple guttering to redirect the water

What a project - amazing work you do.
I dont think Ive seen the final water solution - did you manage to handle the water?
If not consider permaculture design, as Permaculture has a lot of functional designs for water stops and direction.

yes. build a brand new wall. No other option.

Your property looks ancient, I think your on a very old estate, probably dating back thousands of years. It’s amazingly beautiful.

Fascinating finds...💌

Please number or date your videos so we can watch them in order. I would like to see it from the beginning all the way through instead of hit and miss.

I would love to do that again, this time for myself 😔..
I'm getting a little older so it must be soon. 🤫 😅

Theres no way that was designed to be a barn - it was built as an early house and later, much later , turned into a barn

Buying a place like this has lots of gems to uncover. I enjoy watching your families discoveries.

Just an idea to drill down behind the house to in fuse with urethane

Bradey and fam, ive been watching your Italian renovation from get go, they way you attack each type of renovation and still have time to explain clearly what your doing is inspiring, much so I would love to move to Italy or somewhere to buy a property just like yours, your an extremely hard worker, I love all the different projects you can undertake, how much did the property cost ?and my other question is can you get internet there? Thanks enjoy watching- it has me interested, especially being so close to other Europian countries.

By the way between the house if you dug it you may be able to prop the gouse against the wall as a permanent fixture until you finish the job, as you dig down keep added props and attack it every 2 m, install stormwater drain that has perfrated holes put put small stones about 100-200 mm deeper than the flexible stormwater 100mm pipe then cover again in gravel 100mm-200mm, leave the long end bent up higher to undug length of house and burry previous dug trench of 2m, then move the storm water pipe back over work down and continue repeating until finishing, its not easy but it can be done as i have worked in alot tighter spaces as a plumber doing this in New Zealand. hope my 2 cents is valuable.

Nice ,good works.

Another great video.

Im enjoying your family adventures you have cuckoo birds in your woods. i grew up in the English countryside and have not heard cuckoo birds for over 60 years. Thank you.

What about a French drain ?

Except Dan and his chateau 😊

Love the church Bells, good luck on your endeavors. A lot of hard work. Great job.

Did you have a back ground in construction before moving to Italy?

It sounds like you’ve got a cuckoo clock set up right over your shoulder, lol. I imagine it would be cool at first to have a real life cuckoo bird serenading you. But then it might get annoying until you just tune it out. 🤷‍♀️😄 Gorgeous country. Good luck w/your many projects!

I am also not a specialist but grew up on a farm with similar problems. We planted trees of the big kind where we had water problems and in most cases we solved the problem. However that was longterm solution.

The Cuckoo! 😍🥰

Love all of this. Here for it ❤

Amazing. What is the purpose of the cistern at the bottom of the property?

It’s a small thing, but love watching the coffee making each week! And the cooking too. ❤

Thank you and your family, for sharing your hard work on restoring a very special property. I so appreciate your respect for the old property. Tess South Africa

Stairway to heaven.

Italy should be thankful that you bought that property because you really care.

Beautiful exterior staircase you’ve uncovered! That tree looks like its roots might damage the stairs as it grows.

Dig the dirt out behind your wall before you take down the retaining wall behind your house.

When you don't have enough content for a full video but, you have to release one on a schedule - I recommend filling in most of the video with you just walking .... no where.

I love the sound of the cuckoo bird in the background! ❤

You drill down and inject a sealant every foot or so and you will have to do it right next to the rock below so the sealant seeps into the walls
