My dear husband passed away yesterday. He had been sick for 3 years. We had been in hospital for 5 months. I don’t know if I can do this alone. We had been married 58 years. I look so forward to watching you. Baby chicks and turkeys make me smile.

I’m sorry to hear about your husband Joyce. You can do it I know you can! I will be thinking of you and sending love your way.

Joyce, I am so sorry about the loss of your husband…sending love and prayers. Philippians 4 is a great read and verse 13 says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I will be praying that you lean into the verse as you go slow one step at a time you can do it!

That’s so hard. I’m sending you a big hug from a stranger who cares in California.

Sorry for your loss, Joyce. It is so hard to lose our long-time spouse. My husband passed away 3 years ago this week. We had been married almost 32 years. He had been sick for 10 years, until cancer took him away. Not only was he my husband, he was also my best friend. I do miss him dearly, but I am slowly adjusting to life alone, and I am grateful that he is no longer in pain nor suffering. I am learning new things and getting to know myself as an individual. Sending love, peace, and light! I look forward to these positive videos too, so I know what you mean. ❤

Don’t worry about what all of us think, it’s your bathroom and you have a great sense of design. Your bathroom is beautiful.

I completely agree with your plan to raise the shower curtain! It will be much more stately. I love how gently you treat your animals and how much joy you get from them. What a life you and Phil are creating there in Nova Scotia!

I am really glad to see you are taking care of your horses taking care of the horses feet

Yes! Thank you!

Congratulations on the barn permit. Major hurdle overcome. New family members are adoreable.

Couldn’t agree more yes! about the height of the shower, curtain rod. It definitely needs to be higher and that bathroom color is absolutely dreamy!

Congratulations on your permit

Thank goodness you can finally start the barn!!!!

I'm SO HAPPY for you all that the permit has been approved and finalized. I knew that you'd comment on the mirror, lol. So glad that worked out! So many things to celebrate and especially the babies. Much love.

Congratulations on the permit

I agree about the shower curtain rod. The turkeys and chicks are so cute!

I love all your good news! If you get your chicks used to being handled, they will be easier when they are older. And yes, raising the curtain is a wonderful idea! I absolutely am so happy to have found your channel! I love your videos. ❤ Blessings to you all!

I'm so excited about the permit! Wheeee!!! Good idea on the shower!! Chick's and turkeys are precious!!❤❤

As soon as you showed the shower curtain and before you even spoke I thought "That's hanging too low." Raising it would look so much better. Love the new feather babies. Don't forget the seed storage video. ❤

YaaaaaaaaY!!!!! I’m ecstatic for you all!!!! Put that stake in, Phil!!! Happy Barn Permit Day!!!

I agree with you in lifting your bathroom curtain all the way to the ceiling, will look really better.

Congrats on the permit. Yes, i think you should elevate the sower curtain. You're right.

Yes we want to decorate with you!!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉ON GETTING YOUR PERMIT!

They are so cute. Yes, I would raise the shower curtain.

I am having the best day in quite a very long while. Watching your video just added to my already epic day! The English Family is my official Day Brightening KZread Channel! I am NOT a Diabetic BUT your adorable Feathered Babies are so SWEET I’m on a Sugar High! From my earliest memories, the sounds that baby ducks and chickens make has been one of my few wonderful childhood memories, My childhood was very traumatic. So hearing and seeing your babies melts my heart! As to the news of your Barn Build, I’m so glad that the approval process is coming along. I do have to say that I am impressed that NS and all of Canada’s Provinces having laws in place to prevent mass buildings and major corporations coming in and destroying valuable, pristine land. I also have to say, you and your family’s boundless energy is inspiring! I am in so much love with your bathroom! When you show the before and after pics it is seriously like night and day! I don’t know much about the solution to the ceiling to shower apparatus rod that has engineered screw ends. It would be so cool to keep the ends intact and cut the center to shorten it and ‘WELD” it. BUT that sounds like more work than your original plan. I definitely agree that the shower curtain surround needs to be elevated. It will be more AESTHETICALLY pleasing. Lifting it will ‘lift’ the height of your ceiling… Giving the illusion of a high ceiling. Thank you for sharing everything with us! B~}

Congrats on getting the permission🎉❤

I’m jealous of all the different colours of chicks We are getting newborn chicks this weekend They were hatched yesterday and today

You have done an amazing job on everything you do. Lynn from Kingston.

Congratulations on receiving your permit plans look awesome.

Great news all around !! I agree with you about the shower curtain. To make a room look taller, you would hang your drapes at the bottom of the molding. Looks like you have plenty of length to achieve your goal. 🤟

Woohooo 🎉🎉🎉 such exciting news!! Those turkey babies & chicks are SO CUTE 🥰 Totally agree about elevating the tub curtains!! ❤love your videos 😊💛 can’t wait to decorate your bathroom with you!

I'm so glad the barn has been approved. The chicks and baby turkeys are so cute. Blessings for a great spring and summer with a great harvest in your garden.

Yay❗🎉❗🎉 Congratulations on the Great News.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Your Poult and Chicks are so cute. This sure made for a Big Smile Day.😃😃😃🌹🌹🌹

I’m so happy you all got the green light to the barn ,and more babies ❤❤❤❤ ,so excited,I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night being so excited ❤❤❤❤

yes, raise the tub curtain. It will feel grander. Congratulations on the barn permit. The chicks and pulls are adorable.

GOD BLESS YOUR HEARTS WITH YOUR HOMESTEAD!!! The horses are so beautiful and hope you can find some time down the road to ride it is an awesome experience and bond you can never imagine!!!

I love your compassion for all the critter!!

I'm glad you were able to get the barn permit. Yes, move the shower curtain up. Thanks for sharing this!

Before I watch any further I have to say, Hallelujah!!! I am so relieved and happy for you to have the green light on your barn build. I’m happy for your happiness!! ❤ When you picked up the second chic (little brownish chic) to show us, you called her’Muffin’. So I think that name is adorable for her. 😊Just sayin’. I can see your vision for the shower curtain and how it will look elevated especially with the legs on the bathtub. I hope it comes together without any hitches! 🤟Much love for you all!!

❤❤❤ Don't want to miss one minute of your journey that you share. It always gets my creative juices going!

You're the best!

There are thread kits for adding threaded ends to metal rods. Hardware store should have what you need, or a local metal shop could do the work for you.

*CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉 ON ●FINALLY● GETTING YOUR BARN PERMIT❣️❣️❣️ 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Yes, raise the oval shower curtain bar higher and closer to the ceiling. 😉 It will be dreamy....but I recommend putting the legs on your bathtub 🛀 FIRST to make sure you have the perfect level of your curtain....you don't want to regret the height and have to adjust the curtain bar a THIRD time‼️😳🙉* *Your laying hen chicks 🐥🐣🐤 and turkey poults are adorable little balls of fluffy feathers 😍 and their chirping voices are charming. 🥰 Let's get this BARN RAISING PARTY STARTED‼️🎪🎠🌤❤*

Hi, so glad you're getting your Barn Build Permit. The Baby Chicks are Adorable. Shower curtain, will look better after it's raised!

Fantabluous !!!Great news all over the place.

Congratulations on getting your permit and oh my goodness the chicks are adorable ! We had chickens as well i just loved them.

I would love to see you decorate in real-time!

Congrations on the permit! Those chickies are so adorable 🐣🐤🐥❤

Phew! Barn approved! Yay! Chicks and turkeys ADORABLE! Bathroom is turning out to be breathtaking. I kind of held my breath when you started painting the vanity, but it looks AMAZING. I totally agree with you about the curtains. You have a great eye. And of course we want to watch you do the finishing touches!

congratulations on finally getting your permit to build the barn. woohoo to you

I agree with you that raising the shower curtain will make it more stately. I wouldn't even be afraid to go almost to the ceiling, because the higher it is, the grander it will look. So happy your mirror is safe! Love the turkeylets LOL and chicks.....how are Phil's mom and dad? We'd love to see them at some point and know they're enjoying being right down the road from all of you....Congrats on the final approvals for your barn. You've been the most patient people on the planet while going through all these hoops.

Yes to curtain higher. You need a proper macrame sling or something similar for the hanging plant. New animals are so sweet and sound so sweet too. Squeeeeeek. YAAAAY PERMIT

Boy, that mirror is so pretty but looked so heavy. I'm glad to hear you used the right glue. We were worried it would fall over at night. We can't wait to see whatever you do. The babies are so cute.

What a great day for you. Glad it all worked out. Good idea on the shower curtain.

Definitely make the shower curtain much higher. Over half . Much more grand, just like curtains. They look better higher. You can get long double sided screws. It will be beautiful. ❤

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you and proud of your perseverance 🎉

Congratulations on the Barn permit ...your design looks beautiful... Can't wait !!

We all love finishing touches, so count me in to watch you achieve that. ❤😊

Yea!!! So happy for you! I agree about the shower curtain. Looking great!!

Congratulations on the barn build, I know it is a relief too. Barn looks nice.

Hello the bathroom looks great. 🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫🛁

Excited to see the barn build! So glad you got approved!🎉🎉🎉

🎊 Congratulations 🍾🎈 🐴on the barn news!!

I have jubilee Orpingtons. They are beautiful fat hens when grown and the favorites of all my hens. Congratulations

Yay for the horse barn!! Please bring us along on the bathroom decorations. So many exciting things happening for you guys!

Jumping up and down with joy that you finially have the go ahead for the barn! I agree, raise the rod, and you know we want to follow along with the decorating phase.

Congratulations on the barn permit and the new additions to the English family. Omg😊 the babies are adorable. ❤❤❤ Will keep watching the channel to see the progress. Good luck to you all.

You've had a great couple of days. Getting all your beautiful chicks and turkeys, so cute🐔👍, then the important permit, wonderful. I'm so glad you take us along on your journey😃. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧

Chicks are Soooooooooooooo CUTE! 😀🥰🤩 😄

Yes! Raise it up! It's going to be so awesome when you are finished! Thanks for always sharing your thoughts with us!!

I really like the Bathroom, I agree the shower curtain needs to be a little higher, however I have one suggestion, the knobs on your sink cabinet would look good gold to match your other fixtures, I am looking forward to the finished reveal..

Congratulations on the permit. Love the bathroom,the green and gold looks beautiful.

Those babies are so crazy cute!!! Big congrats on the permit... YAY!!

😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!! Love your new birdies-- so cute! Looking forward to watching you decorate the bathroom!! It's already amazing!

Elysia. I do agree it will change the ascetic and everything will look awesome

Hello Elysia Philip & boys,such wonderful news you have your PERMIT!WOW! The birds are so cute.I love the different colors of the chicks.I would raise the shower curtain also.❤️

Definitely agree that the shower curtain needs to be raised! I would love for you take us along for the decorating process of the bathroom!!! Congrats on getting the permit to build the barn!!!✌️&❤

So smart to have storage for hay and animals(horse) separate from each other. Hay in the spring/summer can ignite easily if not dried correctly. Agree on the curtain rod being higher. Love your videos and family.

Yay, you got the permit for the barn.. yes, raise the rod

Love the chicks! Yes, shower curtain hangs too low.

If you really want to cut the hanging rod, you can check locally for a machinist or machine shop to get them to thread the end you cut.

Congratulations on your application approval!! 🎉🎉

My condolences Joyce to you and your family.I loss my husband last year's and I won't lie.It will be one of the hardest time in your life.One piece of advice I will give you is my new motto.Just do the next thing. No matter what it is just do it for yourself mostly for your mental health.Take care and God bless.

Needless to say yes, you need to raise the shower curtain. It does look a little low and of course we want to see you decorate in the final reveal and can’t wait to see the bond and I can’t believe that Hudson is so brown. He’s growing up so quick now.

I agree with you on the height of the shower curtain rod.

Cover up and tie down everything! Snow and wind headed your way!

Congratulations on your Permits and your new babies. ❤❤

CONGRATS DEAR ON YOUR PERMIT. FINALLY YOU ARE TRULEY BLESSED.. LOVE YOU GUYS ANNAMAY

Congratulations on obtaining your barn permit. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I can wait to see you style your beautiful bathroom. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️

Great idea,moving that a bit higher,Glad your barn is a go!!

That's wonderful that you finally got your permit for the stable! I agree, making the shower rod higher will look great.

I think you are spot on with moving up the shower curtain! Loved looking at all the feather babies! Can't wait to watch them grow!!

Congratulations on the permit! That's going to be a nice size barn.

Congratulations on getting your permit for the barn.

I'm so happy the something you picked up was so cute!! Baby chicks & turkeys are adorable 😍. Congrats on the barn build 🎉

Yes to both questions! Curtains higher and I would love to watch you decorate that beautiful bath- room ! You two work so hard! Please don’t overdo! btw- those new babies are Adorable!!♥️🙏🏻❤️

Congratulations on getting the permit!

Boy howdy! You get to build a barn! Go ahead and make this Texan proud!

YES! Let’s have a barn raising!! Congratulations!

Congratulations on the barn permit. I agree that moving the tub curtain up will look better.

Raise the shower curtain.

Aww I’m so happy for you both. You deserve it having planned, put lots of thought and love into having a barn. Your my favourite KZread channel xx

Congratulations on the permit.. I’m no handyman by any means and I certainly agree your rod needs to be higher. I know in Australia we can buy what’s known as a tap and dye kit which enables you to rescrew your screw in part when making things shorter…and cute babies too…🥰🇦🇺
