Yeah, they are doing a great job.

Gorgeous, ❤.

A great skilled craft that modern building processes can’t replicate, slow citti, slow food, slow crafting makes perfection in life!

Those guys are very talented stone masons. What a beautiful job they have done. X

They are beyond craftsmen, they are artists.

Thank you for introducing me to the term "hoddie" - I looked it up and learned of how it derives from the word "hod". This channel is so educational!

“Are you still alive?” “Si!” “Tutto bene!” 🤣

Italians are a different people

Well said

Yes they are great artists, and their work will persist through the years to come, many generations forward!

😮well it's es to talk and easy to Nit pick when one is just an onlooker. A bit different when one is actually doing the hard graft. You are doing so well and it is all looking pretty amazing . Congratulations to all concerned.

Master craftsmen surely, not artists. Both have their storied places in the world.

Many congratulations! It’s looking amazing

Thank you!!

Brady's wife's name is Heather.

they are artisans from Bergamo when you work you don't talk much

The Artisans at Bergamo says: dai laüra, dat de fà,e a la öna, dai poche parole!! Those words means, work no wasting time. Bergamo artisans are well known for been hard workers. In fact is happily surprisingly to see Brady working at their same level. Greetings from a small place in the Caribbean.

Actually in that film most of the masons are Polish and some with university degrees...

Thank you so much!

It is tranquil and beautiful.

​@@Chereese0808 It is really very tranquil. People born in big cities has to learn to leave that way

I agree! More ear and eye protection and masks for all the dust.🙂

stonemasons from bergamo don't need any promotion from this channel...they are the best in italy and italians know that. In bergamo you'll find ten of thousands of people like those 2😂

That's awesome!

Thank you! You too!

Thanks so much! ❤️

I know Italians are mucho macho, but I was really surprised in all of this to see that the stonemasons don’t wear eye protection with all the flying stone chips. 🤷‍♀️😄 Regardless, you are going to have a beautiful home and I’m enjoying your journey very much. Thanks for sharing! P. S. I love the cloud shots in the valley, so ethereal.

Glad you enjoy it!

Assolutamente anche dal lontano stiamo godendo di vedere la trasformazione che stai facendo in quella che sarà una bellissima casa. Buon lavoro👍

Happy Easter!

Thank you so much!

BTW the arch looks beautiful.

Depends on where you are coming from. Cement is the substance however commonly used as the mix with fine sand for laying hard bricks and simply called cement, ciment, etc. Mortar however is more of an adhesive, a mix and can be much different in strenght, water retension, flexibility, durability and the mix can next to the specific cement and sand have lime added to it. This is typically used when working with all kinds of sand-stone (soft stone), natuaral or fabricated, straight or unevenly shaped or for pointing walls while it is more flexible and easy to redo/repair. Concrete however is the mix of concrete cement, stones or little rock pieces or pebbles, fine sand and if you like addatives like for strenght, flexibility, weight, waterproofing, etc. This is the hardest of them all and gives a solid adhesive solution. In normal masonary you do not use concrete because the stones easily unset the bricks. Guess for the slade stone application, very hard stone, you would use the 32.5N/mm² class cement which is used in generally concrete together with sand. That does not make it concrete, it is really cement while using concrete cement as base making it hard, not flexibile, like portland cement (which really is just a name of the collor of the cement named after the cliffs of portland). The rule of thumb is that you use a mortar/cement that is equal or less hard to the hardness of the stone you use to work with.
