You may want to purchase a plow blade to attach to the front of one of your quads. This would help you clean off pathways and driveways on your property-and clean up snow covered areas as well.
My Mom used to love telling me how my Dad and two of her brothers put a metal building together and told her that the company must’ve included extra panels. 😂 No, they didn’t put it together right and it never got fixed. 😂She told me “no extra panels just men who didn’t want to read the instructions!” 😂
Awe! My dads name was Phillip and to teach my nephews about the different heads of drill bits I would say. What is grandpa? the answer He is a star!! and then they remembered. You brought back some great memories for me today. Thank you Heather
We used spray foam insulation on our rock/stone foundation basement and thankfully, 10 years later, not a single mouse, rat or weasel has found its way into our home. It fills all the gaps and rodents don't want to burrow through it. Plus, the floor feels warmer, so win-win. We live in Nova Scotia too--over on the south shore.
I've had one of those metal sheds in my previous home, my Dad did a concrete base including an area around the outside of it to keep out vermin. He also put external silicone on the internal joints. I had no damp, mold or rust in it ever xxx it's the perfect choice for a feed shed
Weasels can get through a 1/2" space and will go after your chickens and ducks. A great deterrent is to shake hot pepper flakes around any place you think they could attempt getting in. Hot pepper doesn't harm your chickens or ducks, so it's a win win. Also peppermint, eucalyptus, tee tree oil, and even cayenne pepper mixed with water will help deter them. It blocks their sense of smell, which they need to find food. I sure hope it doesn't come back!! The horses are adorable. So friendly and calm. Glad to see more regular postings from you again. I always enjoy watching your many endeavors!
The weasel is an Ermine royalty used to use their fir for collars and other accessories. The tail is the giveaway. Your egg rack is called a skelter. I have one that I spray painted blue to match my kitchen appliances. I'm surprised you didn't paint yours gold!
I put a metal building together by my self I was so proud but I didn't have it nailed to a platform yet and we had a wind storm .I heard a crash and looked out to see my new shed in the neighbours back yard .
🥰 kindness to the weasels just melts my heart- I know varmin and all but thanks for the compassionate release. Also there has to be something you can make out of the gorgeous eggs. Knew a painter who painted all kinds of egg shells and made mosaic painting but you could do something as creative you are, blown eggs to make ornaments, mosaics, something inventive.
The horses are fine out in the snow they are better out moving around than cooped up in the barn . Do the shed on a non windy day… mine is in pieces in my years waiting for nice weather 😊
The van pull a small trailer to haul stuff and they also can have a plate on the front to plow the snow abit even spread a basic road . You can on some of the get plows for doing rolls for farming a bigger garden.
I had a bad experience with a snake when I was around 3 years old. I never quite got over it. As an adult, I understand the difference between harmful snakes and beneficial snakes, but that childhood trauma sticks like super glue! Still, I wouldn't want to hurt a snake, so I understand why you trap and release the weasels. Can't wait to see that shed completed. I'm always amazed at how much you get done in a day. The horses are growing like weeds! 💕☮️✨
I Googled it and it said you should take a weasel at least 10 miles (16km) away from your home to ensure it doesn't come back! They can fit through a hole as small as a inch and normal chicken wire won't keep them out of a chicken coop! One site recommends a motion activated sprinkler or sound to scare them off!
You call it a weasel, but is called an ermine. In winter it is white and has a black tip at his tail. In summer their colour is brown. Their fur is used for the edge of a coronation cloak. You shall see it when Charles will be crowned in may this year. They are small preditors and eat eggs, little birds, rabbits . Also your chickens and ducks can be a prey.
I’m with you all the way with getting that weasel as far away from your land as possible!! I would have to dispose of it permanently though!!!! I know I’m not very nice when it comes to weasels!!
When I assemble a flat pack, I put all the screws and small parts in one of those plastic divided craft boxes. You can verify you have all you are suppose to and it is real easy to find them as you assemble the whatever
I so enjoy watching everything you do on your homestead. It's always interesting to see what project you both are getting into. I'm with you regarding the weasels, they are so mean and destructive, not to mention, scary. Please take it far, far away, lol. I love everything you do, can't wait to see your next video.🥰
That little weasel is so cute. When you said you felt something starring at you. I thought. you were going to say the Old Captain was watching you. I was ready for a ghost story. It was a weasel story instead.
Watch when you said you got the heebie jeebies. That was my Mom with rats or mice. She finally got use to the kids hamsters. But even that took a while. So I get it. Good luck on rehomeing the little guy. 👍🏻 It is really cute though. 😁💕
If Phillip is going to be going out on adventures alone, you need to get some long-range walkie talkies to stay in communication with each other in the event of another accident. And weasels are cute, but you know why they always portray the villains in cartoons.
I love you two. You are 2 goofballs. Always laughing. I do have to admit when you said you had a big surprise for us, I thought it was going to be your having a girl not 2 horses. Lol. The horses are just as cute.
When you told us you were getting horses, my first thought was, Why? Watching you two interact with Hudson and London has converted me! I can't get enough of them. 💜
HI There - Just watched your vid and being a country dweller - critters are a thing . Weasels are definitey attracted to chicken coops - egg thieves ....lol. Apparently a motion activated sprinkler will deter them . Great vids !
Another great video as always! I think that is what we call a stoat over here (UK) as it has a longer black-tipped tail than the smaller weasel does. I appreciate it may be a different creature over there though. Pretty cute, but oh so fierce!! I hope the shed is still out there when you can get back to it, and hasn't been blown away! It looks great and just what you need for storing homestead feed. You both amaze me with they way you approach everything in such a positive way - I don't think I've heard you ever say you can't do something - you just get stuck into it and voila! there is it! Done! You are both an inspiration!
Aww I’m so sorry to hear of your negative experiences with ferrets. We had the sweetest little girl ferret that would never ever bite anyone or be aggressive in any way. We raised her from a kit and taught her to behave (just as any loving owner should do with any animal in their care.) She’s crossed the rainbow bridge now, but she brought so much joy to our family while she was here. Her name was Pixel 🥹 Wild stoats/weasels are a cousin but different species of course and wow are they fast on their little feet! Thanks for humane catch and releasing them. 😘 Stay cozy ☕️
You can always take and concrete over the rock wall basement to further prevent your predator weasel or mice, etc. from coming in wherever they are getting in.
Love the video the horses are gorgeous 😍 love what you have done with the homestead so far love your channel and many blessings to you and your family 💕💕😘
My husband bought me a metal shed 25 years ago, 50 MILLION SCREWS😮, our marriage survived putting it together😅 I vowed NEVER AGAIN. Getting the base square is the only way to get it together right.
My neighbor had a pet weasel when I was a kid and they also had a ferret which was very friendly. That Wiesel however was a tyrant lol they are escape artists by the way so check those traps frequently 💖 God bless 🤟
Love the homestead, all of it and exspecially you and Phillip and boys. My grandpa in the 60's raised mink, they look like weasels, i was 5 and stuck my finger in cage and WHAM bit me so bad, my finger is still disfigured. My dad had to hit him on head so it would let go. So becareful of those buggers for sure. Love you guys take care.
Weasels should be removed a long distance from your property or they will return. I don’t know if Nova Scotia has regulations on doing things like that. He may be cute but he might end up bringing his entire family to your house to feed on your eggs and chickens, then make their way into your home for more food. We had similar problems with raccoons in our barns destroying everything just to nest. You may want to find the tiniest hole they can get in through. Plug interior holes like around your plumbing with steel wool. All exterior holes should also be plugged. Good luck.
Like any caught animal I hope you took it more than 5 miles away because if they will find their way back I'm sure you know this already. By the way where are your dogs
Watch where you wave your hands... a little too close to that cage...you were told!! They really do a lot of damage in chicken coops - be very aware!! It's going to look awesome with that shed blending into the property perfectly. What a great gift!
OMG girl I hear you that weasel was creeping me out. I love animals also but that scared me just looking at it. I'm happy your shed matches your beautiful home. I don't have just one thing I like. I enjoy watching everything you guys have done. I have learned a few things watching you two and I'm 66 years young. I love the English Family you guys are awesome.
My daughter has three ferrets, two cats and two dogs on her homestead. I am not crazy about them but as long as they aren’t alone they are happy and fun to watch! They have a big three tier condo cage but come out to play and interact with the family. They have a crawling tunnel to go through with a large ball pit in between. They are funny and cute and three times that tiny one you have.
Cute video. I have never seen a weasel before until I saw one one your video last year and now. Cute but vicious unless possibly you get as a baby and you train it to be nice and loving. But then again, they are called weasels for a reason. 😜
Rubble stone foundations are almost I,possibly to seal to keep out invaders. About the only thing I know ow to stop gaps+ tiny gaps, is fine steel wool. Most critters have the same reaction to biting it as we do hitting aluminum foil with our teeth. Boo luck!
He’s probably the same Weasel just grown up now. I did ask about a yr ago if you two would be Skirting the Basement. Might be a good idea and would help also with the temps in the house. And NO MORE WEASELS. !! 😁😁😁🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love how the horses keep coming over to see what you are doing. Better watch out Phil you'll be bunking with the chickens and ducks or the horses. Haha.
You may want to purchase a plow blade to attach to the front of one of your quads. This would help you clean off pathways and driveways on your property-and clean up snow covered areas as well.

😂 so true
Glad you are kind to the little guy. It is their instinct to seek food. Glad you let him go as they are what they are,
aww the poor weasel is as scared as you are Elysia! You have admire the wee beastie, for he/she might be wee but she /he is fierce!
Awe! My dads name was Phillip and to teach my nephews about the different heads of drill bits I would say. What is grandpa? the answer He is a star!! and then they remembered. You brought back some great memories for me today. Thank you Heather

Bird of Figment, Be brave. You're welcome
Super adorable little ermine fella. Those beady-button eyes!

perfect color
The horses have adapted so well. They are so lucky to have your family to love them.
The little weasel is so cute., but scared.

Every thought of making fire rounds with cardboard. You can even add scent if you want, or composting with ash or cardboard.
“I thought it was just words I hadn’t learned yet.” I’m still chuckling as I type this. You 2 always make me smile.
You two are so CUTE!! ❤😂❤
The weasel is an Ermine royalty used to use their fir for collars and other accessories. The tail is the giveaway.
Your egg rack is called a skelter. I have one that I spray painted blue to match my kitchen appliances. I'm surprised you didn't paint yours gold!
It was on my to do list ;) you know me well!!
What a relief! I thought you had a human intruder! The weasel is kinda cute.
I put a metal building together by my self I was so proud but I didn't have it nailed to a platform yet and we had a wind storm .I heard a crash and looked out to see my new shed in the neighbours back yard .

Philip is currently feeding him left over pork chops and mashed up eggs....lol
@Elysia English That means you got a good one!! Cam tell alot by animals and people interactions!! The weasel touched his heart!!
Make sure you anker your shed down good, I have seen them fly in the wind. It is a nice shed though.
yes that is the plan to build a base and anchor it down
Yikes, I would be hysterical if I found that guy in my house!
You need a glass dome for your eggs and glass jars for any package goods.
The horses are fine out in the snow they are better out moving around than cooped up in the barn . Do the shed on a non windy day… mine is in pieces in my years waiting for nice weather 😊
The van pull a small trailer to haul stuff and they also can have a plate on the front to plow the snow abit even spread a basic road . You can on some of the get plows for doing rolls for farming a bigger garden.
It so nice to see .White you are bilding the shet.the horses having a real conversation togetter
Love Phillips version of what could be living in your basement: “…. Saskatchewan”! This cracked me up!!
Take that animal on one of your 4 hour journeys and release it there. It'll just keep coming back!!
Awesome job maneuvering your drone capturing bird’s eye views of the beautiful surroundings.
I had a bad experience with a snake when I was around 3 years old. I never quite got over it.

I’m with you all the way with getting that weasel as far away from your land as possible!! I would have to dispose of it permanently though!!!! I know I’m not very nice when it comes to weasels!!
I'm not sure if anyone has said this but I LOVE the music you all choose for your video. It just calms the soul. Thank you!

And weasels are cute, but you know why they always portray the villains in cartoons.
I was trying to send you a screenshot from Google, but couldn't. Your sweet invader is actually a stoat. They will eat your mice.
The look on your face “oh their so cute” 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing.
Being a City Girl I have never appreciated the wilderness but I love your over head videos. Thank you for sharing
Southern Pennsylvania did not have any snow yet. Well okay we had about 5 snow flakes.
I love you two. You are 2 goofballs. Always laughing. I do have to admit when you said you had a big surprise for us, I thought it was going to be your having a girl not 2 horses. Lol. The horses are just as cute.
I love being surrounded by my boys :)
We do have eyes in the back of our head -- trust your sense!
When you told us you were getting horses, my first thought was, Why? Watching you two interact with Hudson and London has converted me! I can't get enough of them. 💜
Love that!
He is so cute, I mean the Weasel. 😁 Love watching you two you always put a smile on my face.
I'd be driving him miles away! I enjoy your projects. I'm an animal lover
Awwwww that weasel is adorable!! I have ferrets ❤ but I get why you all don’t want them around 🥚 🐓
HI There - Just watched your vid and being a country dweller - critters are a thing . Weasels are definitey attracted to chicken coops - egg thieves ....lol. Apparently a motion activated sprinkler will deter them . Great vids !
Looks like a ferret! They can squeeze through any opening.
You always have the best music! Enjoyed the video
Things are looking so good.

Hope the wind doesn't lift your shed up in the night....looks a bit flimsy unfinished...😆 Thanks for the laughs guys. The weasel really is cute. 🥰

Thank you 🤗
Loving all your content. Your are all so brave
You can always take and concrete over the rock wall basement to further prevent your predator weasel or mice, etc. from coming in wherever they are getting in.

Thank you so much!
Love you guys U two 💖 r so sweet 💕 love your videos it's beautiful there
Thank you so much!!
I would drive some where & then let him go, hopefully he won't come back 👍👍👍
Love how well you two work together and all the fun you have!
Yep, I’m with Philip, he’s sooo cute!
Always enjoy seeing what is happening in the English homestead!!!🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Glad you enjoy it!
My husband bought me a metal shed 25 years ago, 50 MILLION SCREWS😮, our marriage survived putting it together😅 I vowed NEVER AGAIN. Getting the base square is the only way to get it together right.
Phillip is so fun…. You two are great together
The weasel is adorable! That shed will sure come in handy.
I was watching your video yesterday and I thought the ponies were looking taller when you were walking them down. So yes they are growing.
Loving those drone views all! Dreaming if trail rides, camping, fishing
My neighbor had a pet weasel when I was a kid and they also had a ferret which was very friendly. That Wiesel however was a tyrant lol they are escape artists by the way so check those traps frequently 💖 God bless 🤟
Our dogs should be going after them. Time for a talk with them or add some cats.
You guys just Crack me up when you're doing a project like this! "I brought out a Phillip but not a Phillips." Pure gold!
I had 2 female pet ferrets for years mine were so friendly and very much loved 😍 ❤️
Love the homestead, all of it and exspecially you and Phillip and boys. My grandpa in the 60's raised mink, they look like weasels, i was 5 and stuck my finger in cage and WHAM bit me so bad, my finger is still disfigured.

I really love the how you guys are uploading more regular content, keep up the good work!!
More to come!
Aw cute! Hope you gave him his eggs.
You two are hilarious!! 😂I love the drone views too. Gorgeous country!! Hey, it’s supposed to snow here Sunday!! Yeah!!
In UK we say:
"The stoat can be easily
Told from the weasel
By the simple fact
That his tail is blacked."
So in uk he would be a stoat.
Like any caught animal I hope you took it more than 5 miles away because if they will find their way back I'm sure you know this already. By the way where are your dogs
Yikes!!! No weasels for me, either!! LOVE the bond between you guys and the horses--it's so sweeeeeet!
Watch where you wave your hands... a little too close to that cage...you were told!! They really do a lot of damage in chicken coops - be very aware!!
It's going to look awesome with that shed blending into the property perfectly. What a great gift!

Best comedy duo on RUclips! I kept laughing during today's video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Phil, your photography & editing skills are wonderful
Thank you kindly!

The horses are just toooo cute!!💖💙
Happy trails little weasel.👋🏻

You guys are so funny !! But watching you guys makes me cold. 🥶
