Yikes!! when those stones were coming down like a ton of bricks/stone, I was thinking hope the floor holds out. Had to laugh when the stone mason said 'are you alive' and Brady replies 'A little'. That is is a very good relationship you guys have with each other. I think Brady has earned the respect from those builders as to the hard work he does and is willing to learn and help. Brady those men are good in their trade and you working with them is a lovely team to watch. Do tell them your viewers are very appreciative of them and the addition on the end of the house is beautiful. Heather and the girls are so happy. Have a lovely day.

And manure from cows, windows open, blown in, critters and bugs. There's no way I'd want to live there, closed up and breathing that toxic mold even if every seam were mortared in.

I forgot to tell you guys before you started that I have a bad back. When you both lifted that big block from the front wall, I really hurt my back. I don’t know how you do it, actually I do. I guess you’re about 20 years younger than me and have healthy backs. You are doing an amazing job, it’s fun to watch somebody do the work that I can no longer do.

Did stone walls here on the family home in Australia for 6 years... Never... and I mean NEVER again. We had to go and collect the rocks we used. We unearthed venemous snakes, centipedes like coathangers, unhappy spiders, you name it, we uncovered it. Fortunately, never ended up in hospital because of any of those things. Usually letting the creature concerned have the rock back temporarily ended any issues. My brothers and I did get a great workout doing it, but that was OK when you are 20. Now... well... So "Voyagers". I respect your adventerous spirit and your "Learning Along The way"... Letting you lil girls participate will give them an education of a lifetime. When it comes time for them in their lives when they need a house/apt or whatever, they will remember these days and be able to forward think projects they might be considering. Again, I admire what you are doing... Brotherly love from Australia...

Brady, I can't help but think about what's happening to your back when you pickup the large stones. This exactly how one damages the spinal cord. Clearly you're strong enough to but so many people injure the disks in their lower back doing just what you're doing. Carrying water buckets, bags of grain, tossing around bales of hay & building small stone retaining walls in my flower gardens, I managed to smush (medical term) the fluid out of the disks in my lower back. This lead to decades of pain & inability to walk when my "back would go out". Check this out for yourself...maybe a velcro brace would protect you in some way. Excellent item to sponsor!!! Cheers!
