This will be the BIGGEST BUILD on the homestead yet! WE ARE BUILDING A STABLE BARN!

Today is a huge milestone for our family and homestead. I never would have though that a few years into moving to this abandoned home that we would be at the stages of preparing for such a large outdoor build! Today we got the call to pick up the wood we ordered for our huge stable barn build coming this spring/summer that Philip and I are going to build with our sons. Our homestead is always growing and changing and this is just the start of the changes this land will see in the future!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

We cannot wait to build this barn for our horses and continue to grow and expand our homestead!

Excited for the barn build series “LETS GO!!”, as Phil would say 🎉🤟🏻

[@sailorgirl2017]

We are wanting to use small mills to build our house. What mill did you use?

[@lisamcbarron6047]

PRAYING that your permit IS APPROVED!!!!! Those beautiful horses deserve it and I see no reason why it shouldn't be approved! You take such good care of your property and your animals. They deserve to have comfortable "digs" too, just like you humans, the pigs and the turkeys etc etc.

[@barbaralaug]

I love you English family! I don't know how you keep up with it all, but thank you for taking us along!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

😊 thank you

[@janzitterkopf1630]

They are so amazing, yet genuine!

[@lindawatson8087]

How exciting! The horses are going to be so happy. You have really accomplished so much in such a short time.

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

The milled wood is so beautiful. Good luck with everything, guys. ❤❤❤

[@Edu_Kate]

Matthew Cremena (in Minnesota) shows how he mills ginormous trees down to thinner slabs. I was amazed how much water is in those aged boards. He has a buddy with a kiln(?) and the water just gushed out of the bin holding the boards as it heated up. Good luck building your barn.

[@mikkileon6380]

I love that you bought local wood from a local, small wood miller!!!!!!! You poor things look so cold I just want you to go in and sit with some hot chocolate with marshmallows in front of your woodstove. You guys have done great excellent👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁👌🏼 Your fingers and faces must hurt so bad from the icy rain and burning winds you poor things. Great job great job.

[@janzitterkopf1630]

How exciting! Happy for you and praying for all your dreams to come to fruition ❣️

[@tinastock8540]

Power couple, you 2 are amazing ,looking forward to this large barn

[@babylonsisters1]

They really are the ultimate power couple!

[@robynw6307]

You have such amazing and helpful neighbours around you. Can't wait to see this rise from the ground.

[@ramonaklassen9280]

Wow! That was one heck of a load. I love the smell of wood. I look forward to seeing this build for sure. Have fun, even if it's hard work. It will be your pride and joy when it's done.

[@lisalulueaston4704]

You did so well ❤what a job you're amazing can't wait to see the barn build ❤❤❤

[@ElysiaEnglish]

thanks Lisa!

[@tedbryer2512]

So happy for you guys! Happy Easter everyone!

[@joycemorgan6956]

You guys are amazing.you need to teach boys to have supper ready for you on these days. Even crockpot would be lifesaver for you.. I am sure you don’t need that advice but you guys work so very hard. So happy for your dream to come true.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Rebelhomeland]

Hubby puts chains on our 4 wheeler. It helps alot.

[@ellenmorrell8332]

We built a 3 stall barn . I’m an excited for you on this build!😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ElysiaEnglish]

I would love to see it!

[@melaniepoulton6738]

So exciting you almost need to borrow the tractor to unload at your end!! Okay I can't even imagine how tired you must be, you'll sleep well tonight. You finally have everything you need for your barn!

[@donnamittmann1424]

English Family….you are amazing!

[@ceciliajacobs5346]

last night (Mar 28/24) it started snowing, this morning I had a yard full of snow( I had a bare grass yard before). I think Mother Nature has her Holidays mixed up. Happy Easter weekend.

[@Rebelhomeland]

That's alot of wood for sure! Your very own exercising outdoor gym. You said this is just the frame, what's the outer part of the barn going to be? What a great dream come true. We would love to have a barn. But reality it isn't in the cards at all. We where going to take an old barn down & relocate it. But to many other things take priority. There is your summer project.

[@luannbaker8508]

This is so exciting! 😊 I can't wait to watch you guys build. There is going to be some happy horses! ❤

[@melonmahfood2439]

How exciting, can't wait to watch you all raise a barn!

[@janet929]

What a big day you had, I can't wait to see the barn take shape, it's another exciting adventure at the English Homestead 😊

[@paulastrong7571]

I really don't know how you do all that!!! 😱

[@lovingmayberry307]

How exciting!!! Don't overdo though, take care of yourselves! 😘

[@dianeconnors6263]

What an exciting moment for you guys🎉. I hope and pray that you will get the OK to build soon. I can see the excitement and happiness you guys are having! Tears of joy❤❤❤

[@gardeninginthedesert]

So exciting! I loved the horses at the mill, they looked like pure velvet. 🖤

[@mrspickle8285]

I was thinking the same thing, especially the 2nd one, it looked like velvet... so beautiful

[@rosedouglas9586]

How exciting!!! Great news! I have zero doubts that you will get the permits that you need. The horses are going to be so happy too. I do hope that at least two of those sweet baby cows will soon be added to your homestead (when you're ready, of course.) They do look like sweethearts! I started counting my spring break when I got off of work today. (I am a preK teacher/center director.) I have 9 days off work! I'm also excited that we are expecting sunshine all week. ( We have had above average rainfall since October.) I am hoping to get some yard work done. With all of the rain we have had, it looks like I have a jungle in my flowerbeds. My cats have been having fun playing in the tall grass. LOL. I've lived in this home for just a little over a year, and it's the first time in my adult life that I have had a house and a yard. Before we always lived in apartments with patios. Little by little, I have been gathering yard tools and learning how to use them as I continue to adjust to life as a widow. We really don't know what we can do, until we have to do it. I love my little house in the redwoods. It is so peaceful. A place of healing. Like a rainbow after the storm. 🌈 Sorry for being a bit chatty, Just wanted to share the excitement of spring from my neck of the woods. I always look forward to your videos and all of the updates. Thank you! Sending love, peace, and light! 💖☮️✨

[@labbrockington7854]

I'm so happy for you guys. My goodness, the horses 🐎 have grown. God bless you English family 🤟🦋

[@khill6510]

I'm exhausted just watching you guys. So excited for your family. 😊

[@patriciawilliamsn9605]

[@user-vh5xd4if4x]

Congratulations! You two are awesome! I hope you gave each other back rubs after that marathon of a day! Sending you positive energy, blessings and love.

[@deborahwhite2339]

I hope the approval comes through. You have jumped through enough hoops already. I hope you have enough tarps to cover the wood. There is more rain to come. 🤟🤟

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

Wow you 2. That must have been such hard work for the 2 of you. Awesome video and what a great workout

[@eileenmetzkow8475]

So much work. When carrying heavy things you two should wear back braces with the Velcro straps to prevent back injuries. Will you cover the wood to keep it from getting wet???😊🤟🏼💕🙏🏼

[@mlm7598]

How thrilling and how rewarding! All the hard work to get to this point and the work you have ahead of you to fulfill your dreams. Awesome and if anyone can do it you two can. Like the Little Engine That Could! A great day on the homestead. Best of luck and stay safe doing that heavy lumber! Blessings and Happy Easter!

[@user-nw7pw9gp8g]

Burn all that wood before you start building. It will protect the wood and it looks awesome. Lots of love and hugs to you all from Indiana USA 😀🤣.

[@peggynorton5145]

Girl!!! Omg get in where its warm!!! You need that tub up and running to soak in. Epsom salt by the buckets!!!!

[@denisetarabori553]

This is major!! I’m so pleased for you that you now have that lumber. I’m praying the bureaucracy doesn’t stand in your way of building that barn that you very much need. Then I will be triple happy for you guys being triple happy! Please don’t get sick from being out in the sloppy freezing rain and string wind! ❤

[@SuzanneOost-dc2yh]

I can’t get over how ur horses have grown!

[@kimvanek2322]

Still would like to see the upstairs bedrooms and hallway before and after when it's done. Maybe a then and now walk through of the entire house and plans for the future! Guess I'm more of a home improvement fan than a farm fan! Also, whatever happened to little blue? Just wondering.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

The bathroom video is tomorrow we had to pick up the wood yesterday as he is limited on room at this place to store it

[@kimvanek2322]
