behind your house remove part of the terrace that covers it so the dirt does not push on it. It will be a little half pipe shape sitting on it's side so you do not lose the power of that terrace. with this you get to walk behind your house.

I don't think so. I couldn't watch the rest of video after the kids playing with a hammer, electric drill and other heavy duty tools. I would never want my children to get injuries from those tools. My heart raced watching he girl's hand around the electric drill, scared the hell out of me.

@Suzan McCreadie it's not about overprotective parenting. It's about SAFETY ISSUES, crying out loud. Do you ever see any counstruction working areas allowed children to be around??? It's nothing but ignorant to having kids playing with electric/mechanic building tools. Safety comes first, not ignorant.

Some of my fondest memories are of "helping" my dad on our property. May your daughters always remember this as I've remembered my childhood. Such a blessing to have such parents.

Welcome to Italy ❤️ I have to admit I had a bit of sadness when I thought about our old heritage houses being sold to "foreigners" but your hard work dedication and respect for the place really filled my heart. You deserve every inch of that beautiful land and I really hope you will fulfill your dream to go and live in the house you so much worked for soon. You are an inspiration. With love, respect and gratitude, Roberta

I just hope they don'tgo try to change the way of life of Italians. Americans usually try to force new communist type rules. I am American & frustrated on how America has so many laws, that we feel choked. When I visit other countries I feel free. I recently had to get rid of my dog because HOA communism.

Industrious is putting it mildly. This barn is a literal drop in a giant bucket to the millions of antiquities there. Imagine what it was like designing/building the Colosseum alone with zero modern tools and it's still standing, then add all the Roman antiquities still standing all over Europe, Middle East, North Africa. #1 in Unesco WH sites and history achievements.
