Before you put up permanent fencing.. live on the land for at least 1 full year (4 seasons)
to get a feel of the land. Just a suggestion.
Yes especially with that ditch to make sure that culvert can handel all the water if you have a large rain.Flat land water doesn't flow like on hills it just sets .Great suggestion.
Excited for y’all, you’re getting me tired already brother. Take some time and breathe, remember what you’d tell your younger self, may God always bless this beautiful homestead , 🙏🏼 amen
Beautiful property! You're all gonna make beautiful memories here. Best wishes to you both!
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Beautiful property.
YOU CAN RESTORE THE BARN AND MAKE AN ON SITE STORE!!!!!
First rule of permaculture- watch the land for a year before deciding where is the best place to put what. Refer to Joel Salatin or Justin Rhodes permaculture principles and decide your zones. Zone 1 kitchen garden, use your animals to prep the land. This time next year, plant the orchard.
Ya'll need a swing near that tree where raelynn was running..make that happen..I am beyond over the moon for ya'll..please get that other house because I seriously want to come and experience the beauty in all this..❤❤
Adele Watkins and a tree house
That was my first thought when I saw her near that tree. A perfect spot for a swing.
Oh my goodness! I was coming here to say the same thing! You have a beautiful piece of property!
At 2:15 when you roll your eyes at the camera... me too, Zach, me too haha
I paused and read the whole story about the charger and rose, how sweet. It's looking so beautiful and like home already 💞
Stacy Leigh What story are you talking about the charger and Rose 🌹 I didn’t see anything like that🎈
Me, too! What a sweet love story.
@@RoseLawrence765 It was when Zach was hanging pictures in the house at the beginning. The camera zooms in on the writing at the left of their wedding picture, and if you pause the video, you can read it.
Cheryl Fraunhofer thank you ,have a super weekend🎈
What a beautiful piece of heaven!!! I love the layout and you have so much beautiful land. Don’t get overwhelmed and if you’re like me, make a list, prioritize and go for it!! Can’t wait to watch your progress.
For that drainage ditch you have to go watch “Canadian Permaculture Legacy” and look at the pinned comment about drainage ditches and what an amazing thing they can be for planting very happy fruit trees in and near them.
Edited to say the video is called, “ No land? No problem. Let’s (not) plant a forest.”
Jason from Sow the Land was looking for pigs.
Pretty sure Jason is looking for a bigger faster growing breed. Kunekune take forever to grow out to butcher weight.
@@libertymicrofarm6032 Jason may be willing to take what he can get at this point.
@@farmyourbackyard2023 maybe. Hard to find piglets this time of year
@@farmyourbackyard2023 not to drive from NC to get them and raise them for meat at their rate of growth.
All those moving boxes flattened and spread over the area where you plan to have your garden and then covered with mulch would really help prepare the area for Spring.
I'm so happy for you all. The property is beautiful. I'm excited to see the progress, and joy that will come.
I love the pollinator area idea!
Ok I live in AZ but I'm from Florida. Zach you have got me saying lawdy day lol. So much love, just watching how loving all the animals are toward those babies 💞 it warms my heart.
Love your property! So fun for the kids to run around!!
Oh my !! Truly a slice in heaven ❤️ just beautiful!! So happy for all of you. You are going to be sooooo busy !!! Enjoy every moment 😃
I so miss the beautiful colors of fall that I used to enjoy in Ohio and Kentucky. Here in Georgia it goes from green to brown so quickly...thanks for the tree shots, it made my day.
Y'all what a Beautiful Family Home Place you have !! Many Blessings to you and Love from Georgia !! ❤
I thought it was absolutely beautiful with the children running all over the place. When I was a little girl where we live we could go outside all day we lived on what they called a hill several people lived on that Hill and the kids ran the hills all day. We go home for lunch or a neighbor might Feed Us they watched us they made sure we were safe and we couldn't do anything we weren't supposed to do or they would be letting our parents know. It was such a wonderful time even during the winter time they would build fires on the hill so we could warm ourselves and stay out all day. You are such a blessing I know it is stressful for you two and you make it look easy but I know it's not. My favorite thing was the pigs I love pigs but where I live I can't have them. I pray that you find buyers for all the little piglets my favorite one was the orange female she was adorable. May God bless you and your family
Just a small tip when hanging stuff in concrete walls just add a few holes in a long board and that way it's less holes in the wall and it gives a solid board to add and remove this to the walls without a ton of holes it the actual structure..
Ps..I love the new place..its great seeing how the kids just run and enjoy themselves..
You have a beautiful farmstead. God bless you and your family.
I love your property. If you decide to sell any goats I would love to be put on the list. I too live in Barbourville.
Love the new sofa. Your wedding picture is beautiful and so are the family pics. Making your house a home of love. Awesome. 💖💖💖
My Papa Brown was an engineer on a Steam Engine Locomotive. My parents bought each of us an antique train bell back in the 1970's. The neighbor kids and ours loved playing back in the woods and the Creek. When the neighbors or we needed the kids to come to the house, I rang the bell, all of them knew come to the house immediately.🔔 What a life saver that was 🥰👍👌 We did let the kids ring the bell on New Year's Eve. 🔔
I would leave the trees and brush up at the road if you plant your garden near that part of your property. The exhaust from the vehicles can contaminate your produce.
Your children are going to have so many adventures and memories growing up on your homestead. I'm so happy for you guys and God's answered prayers for you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Have a blessed day, stay safe and healthy 🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👌🙏🦅🗽🇺🇸
Put the goat fence around the old barn and let them clean it up first.
I was going to say plant your herbs and medicinal plants there that you can let go wild within that drainage ditch area area ❤️🌱💚
Good idea to do everything in a temporary fashion. As you slowly get organized and fall into a normal routine, the changes will come in a " I can't stand this one minute longer" list... ha! This farm is perfect, so happy you are finally there.
Gorgeous photos. It definitely looks like home now. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺👍👍
What a lovely video for this rainy morning. I love seeing the progress and am almost inspired to freshen up my home 😁
Wow, new furniture too! Always a nice way to start in a your new house. Looks roomier and I can see why you were excited to move. New neighbors, new area, etc. Kids, you will love your new friends,new school and neighbors. Enjoy. I'll be back tomorrow and see how much you have done and more of what you've done. God bless your new home.
That sofa is PERFECT! good job Jen! Don't do perm fencing. Try to do paddocks for the animals...rotate them. Grid the area off and rotate them section by section so that the grass will always have a chance to grow back. They will also be fertilizing each area as they go and your soil will be rich! Sell and rebuild the barn. You will be much happier with a barn that you have picked out that suits your needs for your animals. JEN! I have the same rain boots! lol I just got them for my birthday from the hubby :) Kids these days know nothing about the street lights! Your garage is a BEAUTIFUL space! Lay cardboard down and tarp it....for your garden area. Leave it all winter and it will be ready for spring! maybe even throw some manure on top of the cardboard...and all those BEAUTIFUL LEAVES too! I'm excited about all the projects your guys have, I love seeing how you put things together and improvise! I used your raised bed idea from the sawmill wood, it is great! That cattle panel fencing was brilliant! nice job not having to spend any extra money. Can't wait to see more :)
Oh, I hate the idea of losing an old barn, hope you can restore it.
An old barn is a treasure.when we were young we took an old barn down. We used the wood to cover long wall in our den. The tin became the ceiling. We loved it
Just the other day I saw the neatest way to hang pictures. Put a fork through the nail. Put the wire over the fork and then pull up the fork. Works great.
That brilliant! Thanks.
You could do an accent wall in your house with some of that Barnwood and tin🎈💕
Why not put the cattle panels and dogs on the side or back of the house. It really distracts from the pretty house. You have done a bunch so far. It will come together.
City folks!
The pen is not horrid! It is a place to keep the dogs while they get used to the sounds and smells of their new home. Didn't you hear the sounds of the traffic going by?
@@marilyngodfrey868 I am not “city folks”. Don’t be rude!
My English Bulldog used to care my RIR hen around in her mouth like a football.
After I had a fit, and everyone was ok. I caught it happening multiple times. Apparently the chicken liked it!♥️🐔🤣
Truly the details are what make a house a Home! Can't wait to see it finished! Great work, such blessings! Be happy, God bless! 👍💯😊🙏💜
I could see a tire swing hanging from the tree Rae Rae was running by. It's BIG and has an awesome horizontal "lowish" limb just calling for one!😉
Are you able to mobile fence around the old barn, so the goats can forage and you all benefit?
Loved!!!!! watching the kids run. So heart warming to have them be kids and to build memories like we have.
Love your new home and new life.
that covered up shed? could very well be your chicken coop! at least chainsaw enough down that you can see...before you build a whole new one. sweet video, and how sweet that you helped her get the house set and then went out to the barn... blessings on this whole new adventure. What a treat!
Why are you blocking the front steps? You should move the fence to the corner of the porch. Just my opinion
Do yourself a favor and do soil testing at the site you want to put your garden. The soil test will tell you exactly what your soil is needing for you to amend it this winter and be ready for the spring. Check at your universities on which one does the testing. Look at finding a local Master Gardener in your area that knows the soils and plants. Good luck and blessing to y'all from Texas.
Love love the joy and thankfulness you share with us all ❤️
3 boys 3 girls.
I would utilize as much ground as I could for hay production. It is already being cut and baled, so keep that up. Most hay outfits will cut and bale on the halves. And find someone who doesn't spray herbicides. If it's maintained, baled multiple times per year, there won't be weeds anyway. Then the hay waste is suitable for use in your garden.
Marshmallow, willow, elderberry, those are good herbs for moister soils.
Our neigh or had a chicken who would chase their pit bull and turn around and run the other way so the dog chased it.. round and round the house, it was the funniest thing ever. 😂😂😂
I grew up in the country in a 100-year old house. Behind the house, we had a train that ran at all times of the day and night. I loved that the train would rock the old house and me to sleep. Every time I hear a train horn it comforts me☺️
Your property and home are absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!! Norman Rockwell beautiful !!! It really is breath taking !!! I so hope that yall save the barn, its epic and there are so few left !!! ( in my neck of the woods, anyway) Looking forward to watching yall create the perfect homestead ! God bless yall !! xo
Swamp milkweed would be a great plant to put throughout that ditch. It will attract monarch butterflies and it will attract aphids. So instead of the aphids tearing up your garden, they will be on the milkweeds.
Omg, those pigs are so colorful and cute!
I love your coffee table.You should put a swing in the tree where Rae was running.We have a tire swing for our grandkids and they love it.I look forward to more progress videos.
Wow! How gorgeous! What a blessing. There is so much to your property and your house. I love love love all of it! It sure was worth all the trouble, right?! Those piglets are so adorable. The kids are clearly so happy!!!
When you mentioned elderberry bushes/trees that is a must. Syrup and jam is VERY healthy. Dont hesitate on a few. Put them in all around the property fencing.
You can have a house, but you are making a home for all of you to enjoy and build memories. All the little touches you are adding to the walls are great. Blessings
So happy for y’all! Pray for the rest of us, so we can find our dream homestead too...
I am so happy for y'all and the abundance you have been blessed with. When I was watching you unpack in the garage I felt that you were now able to stretch out finally. The kids seem very happy. Your future looks bright and full of memory making.
Everyone looks so happy, animals and kids. The place is really beaitiful. Anxious to see all the fruit trees and gardens to come.
It's so exciting to see your progress and hear plans and dreams!! Everyone seems to say it's a very good idea to take about a year and get to know the natural lay of the land and the benefits of each different area before making permanent decisions like fencing, etc. Must be some wisdom in that especially on expensive projects. Love all of you and good luck!
Congrats Stivers! Your new home is wonderful!
Beautiful property! I know you mentioned wanting to do some woodworking. We saw a fence panel at our local Home Depot that inspired our new garden fence. It was a cattle panel framed with 1x2's and then 2x4's on the ends. We had a 3ft welded wire fence around our backyard garden to keep rabbits out. We did a similar panel but with the welded wire framed with wood and added some planter boxes on the outside for strawberries. I can't figure out how to upload the photos here, so I will post them on the Stive Tribe Facebook page.
I don’t think there are two better people in this whole world. You all are so loving and sweet. Love the house and couch
Love this place.... I could set a lawn chair inside that fence and set and watch the house and the kids from the barn up there all day long... ❤❤
I like the landscape view of open land and rolled bales.
I was thinking, maybe taking dolly away from work( out of the fence and her duties) in the morning. Give her that time to eat and run freely with the other pets..after all chores are done, and shes had a chance to run, put her back to work in the fenced area beforw going in for breakfast. Just a suggestion. Gives her a chance to work and play, knowing the difference between inside fence= work, outside of fence= play. I love what yall are doing with the place. It truly is home. Im sooo excited for the garden space to come. Wildflowers interplanted with herbs...jens tea garden just got a whole lot bigger!! Im so so excited for your family and everything that is yet to come. Also, i hope im not too forward in saying, the whole family is shining!!! The happiness and excitement really shows in the content. Keep it coming, yall are 1 of my favorite UA-cam families. I learn so much and enjoy all the laughs, and even share tears at times. You guys are awesome people and you deserve all the blessings.
When I moved into my forever home, I kept thinking this is just unbelievable, this is mine. 20 years later, there is not a day gone by that I don’t thank God for what He has done for me. The peace and happiness I have felt these many years is again, unbelievable.. I am so very happy for all of you. May God bless each of you in your new adventures.
Pat you are such a nice lady.
So much hard work whenever moving..but it's really worth it once it's all done. Your back yard is stunning!!
Nothing like new furniture to put a smile on a sweet girls face. Love watching you kids make a “home”
god has blessed you with a beautiful homestead , he know,s you have worked hard and you deserve a happy home, love to all and god bless
You'll have landed on a beautiful Homestead, God has blessed. May you perservre , as new challenges & troubles come your way, as always do in life, Prayers, THAT you always hug each other close, as you grow Home & Family.
Beautiful pieces being hung on your walls. I've lived in my place for 4 years now and still don't have much on my walls. 😊
If I were near you we’d probably be buying a pig! I’m so happy for you guys and your home is so beautiful 😍
Glad that you got the dogs fenced in you are really going to need to investigate so much thought into proper fencing for every animal. You are right! Tons of projects to do!
You have a beautiful place. Thank you for the tour. Precious family.
So excited for you,the property is beautiful
If I’m seeing correctly, there are power lines running through the trees at that old barn. If it is, and if it’s still AEP there, you can call them for a make safe... they’ll send Asplundh to cut everything away from the power line so you’re not risking electrocution. Actually, I think every power company does that, even the recc. ... it’ll get a lot of the work done for you, for free.
What a wonderful place to raise your children. God Bless you all.
Stivers... congratulations on your beautiful new property. You guys truly deserve all the blessings 💗
Beautiful couch set! Awesome! Your new home is becoming all of you!
Ya'll make me so happy watching your videos. I love the new homestead and excited to watch it grow. Will you tell me how many roosters you have and how many hens. Continued blessing over your family
Beautiful homestead. So happy for y’all.
I cannot be happier for your family!!! Congrats on your wonderful new home and farm! Can’t wait to see what y’all do!
Oh ,so pretty .I love your decorating with your pictures. I like your huge yard.God bless your family.@♥️🙏♥️
What beautiful land!! It definitely looks like you ate home. This was made with your family's needs in mind. 😊
Beautiful wonderful HOME 🙏🏼 Blessings to you all.
Google a foot powered lathe!!!! No electricity required and it's easily made.
Jenn...you are absolutely glowing! What a true beauty you are!
I love it when you can hear trains. I have lived near trains for years.
I love the couch and the house!
Just so beautiful! Love seeing everything come together for you all
Love the new place. I totally see a willow tree and swamp milkweed for the Monarchs in the ditch
Beautiful place. Very green very peaceful looking.
Congratulations on your new home! It's a beautiful property.
Awesome Homestead! It’s beautiful there. Lots of work & projects but y’all got this. So exciting! 👍❤️🙏
Lovely! Congratulations on the new home!!
All of you look so much happier, not that you were not happy at your old house. But, the children are having so much fun running and playing outside where children need to be at, but I am a old lady and that is where I was all the time. Please try and keep the old barn please. Hugs and Loves. May God Bless you and your family
What a great job you have done already. You have a wonderful homestead and I know God will bless you in everything you do.
Your property is gorgeous!! I'm so happy for your family. I have here at my home electric fencing for my dogs, which has worked out wonderful. When I moved to my new home in January, living in Michigan, unable to do the underground fencing. Reached the eletronic fencing. Plug in anywhere, able to adjust area dogs can roam. All the dogs need an electronic collar. I purchased pet safe, five years ago, still very happy with my purchase.
I LOVE YOUR NEW HOUSE AND THE LAND IS AMAZING!!!! Restore the barn.
Can’t wait to see this develop into your future!!! ❤️ Kristy in Missouri 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Some good salvage off that little barn. So many possibilities for that property.
Think about that invisible fencing. It only works to keep your dogs in, it does nothing to keep anything else out!! Also, some dogs are so determined to get out that they will bear the pain for a minute to bust across the electric area!! Very expensive , so think hard about it !! I love the sounds of trains, it is better than the raceway that is 5minutes down the road from me! Make "To Do Lists" for your property, so you don't overlook anything! Get some cheap plastic bins for some quick nesting boxes or milk crates! Congratulations on your new place. Many years of memories to be made here! Put up a swing in that tree with the crooked limb! It would complete the look of the pasture! God Bless!
What pretty little piggies ! I hope you get a good response and that you do not have to send them out.( as that is an extra expense.) I love your little farm. Your living room furniture looks great and I like the color. It makes me happy to see you happy. Why are the dogs out front ? Wouldn't it look nicer with the dogs out back? Or have one good dog inside and the rest out back? Just wondering.
Please Watch the cats with those recliners, make sure they aren’t inside before you shut them. You’ll lose a cat if you aren’t careful.
The house just looks great!
Congrats.. So happy for y'all. ALOT of work coming but I know you'll enjoy building your garden and farm up. Looking forward to seeing what y'all do to the place. ♥
