Nova Scotia girl here. My father made a ramp for his boat at our cottage. We clear out the rocks and built them up on each side then Dad put down Spruce logs about 6-8 inches apart down the cleared area and than put larger logs on the sides and put large screws or bolts through to the bottom rails. It was easy to bring the boat up and it was easyy for us to get in. A dock in salt water can be very expensive.

Wonderful the boys have grandparents near and will go fishing with them. Lynn

So happy for your Dad to be home!

Your mom and dad have such a nice place to live 🤩

I'm so happy dad is doing better..❤

Hope they cought something glad dad is home . You're going to get all those triangles fixed and they will look great . Prayers 🙏 and Love 🤟 From Oklahoma

glad Dad's doing well

Glad you guys are so close! That’s a blessing!

With all of those apple trees you all could make crock pot apple butter. It’s so easy and delicious and possibly a craft fair item this winter, if local laws allow for homemade treats at fairs.

I have done a similar project. The trick I found to keep the tiles finish from damage during the grout process was that I put 2 clear coats on top of the finished art piece on each tile. I know it's a little late to help you on this project. Perhaps next time? Blessings abundant to you and yours always. Still praying for your Dad. ❤

Hi Elysian yea prayers answered dad home .❤

I just wanted to tell you that you are adorable, as well as Phillip and your boys. Hi from Texas, if we were neighbors we'd be friends for sure.

So glad Dad is home. We were wondering how the bees are doing?

Fantastic family home make over, you are good at bringing opps into a great accent! Dad home is so good!

Next time you want to grout non-ceramic tiles I'd recommend trying silicone grout. It's not messy at all and you can fill the lines very precisely requiring almost no cleaning

Sooo good to see dad out getting some good ole vitamin D Such a pretty place…. ♥️💙💙💙🤟🤟🤟🤟

Thanks for sharing.

So glad Dad is back home. Loving seeing the family all working together.❤

Maybe what would work for the international buyers is an information package only with all the crafts included for the month with a list of products needed to do each craft. This could be emailed and they could print it out and still follow the videos for the craft boxes.

Thanks again for sharing! 💯 ❣️

The hall would look cute with curtains

So glad dad’s home! Well done Elysia! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Are you going to caulk in between the beadboard pieces? I'm a sock folder (OCD lol), so that would drive me nuts.. plus, you need to scrape the white off mom's red light in the livingroom, before it's so stuck on there, it won't come off. It's coming along great and I'm so glad your FIL is home! Now to get him feeling much better!! I am a basketweaver, too (among other art things), but I've never woven willow. I'd love to grow my own. What do I need to look for to buy it? TIA Apples?? Nom nom nom!!!

I’m so glad Dad is home ❤. What a beautiful view of the water too !!!!

Have you considered filling in the dents and such on the ceiling... or would that be too tedious to do? Or are you caulking the gaps between the ceiling panels?

For people overseas you could have a paid online subscription of craft project tutorials using items easily found in stores or in nature. Of course that would mean coming up with more ideas. Just a thought. ❤

So glad to hear Dad is home! Hope he continues to heal, and no better way to do it than at home! Beautiful property and I'll bet they are so grateful to you, Phillip and the boys! I loved it when dad went up and touched your sons arm. Beautiful memory caught on camera!!!

Glad they got out on the boat to fish The property is beautiful on the water just gorgeous I know you're fretting over those handmade tiles but they are absolutely beautiful Have a great week 💓

2 weeks now. Hope all is well with you. Praying for you. We miss you.

Awesome 👏 job done ☑️ 😊

Oh, I so love the Victorian ceiling light you replaced.

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 woo hoo. Im obsessed with ur tiles gurl!

*Elysia, THANKS for this update! MANY PRAYERS ☝️ 🙏🙏🙏 ✝️ ANSWERED AND DAD IS HOME❣️ It was so nice to see Papa English walking out to the boat to go fishing 🎣 😄* *The tiles are coming along - YAY‼️💥💯* *Mom's willows are growing well. 🌿 I hope one day she will record a willow basket weaving tutorial - or at least demonstration for inspiration - for us. 😉🤎* *When are we getting an update on the bees 🐝 and the Bengal kittens, 🐈🐈‍⬛ please?* *Much love ❤️ 🤟 for the entire English family (great seeing Chase and Dayton!) from Leslie in Minnesota where it's been SUPER HOT 🔥 🥵 HUMID, TOO‼️ Thank goodness you have access to an outboard 🚤 motorboat on the ocean to cool off in that sea mist and ocean breezes❣️*

Oh thank goodness papa English is home!!! I hope a company that makes the laser cutting machines will gift you a machine to help make cutting out shapes alot easier for you!!!

Looks like Mom & Dad need a dock. Good deal!! Im sure your Mom is understanding on any mistake renivation wise.

Was thinking of your family. Hope all is well and just busy ❤

Maybe international kits could be something they could find in a Dollar Store or other craft store? & just do those as a bonus video? Not as cool as your personal kits but it would be something. Just thinking out loud 😊

Elysia, my thinking that if you would have put a top coat on before you added the grout maybe you wouldn’t have had to repaint .. just a thought. So glad all is well now Dad is home. I been waiting for you to do your boys room . I’m sure it’s on the list . Stay safe

I believe you should have clear-coated the triangle tiles before you installed them. Two ot three coats, probably. Then the grouting process wouldn’t have wiped the paint off.

started watching and enjoyed started watching your channel loved it bug then you stopped the last 2 weeks

I bought both August and September! I have my fingers crossed for fall/halloween themed items!

I have a few questions when are you starting on your barn and how are the new kitty cats doing? And how are the bees?

Ok, lady. I'm getting worried here. No video in almost 2 weeks. Is everyone okay? Are you on vacay? Sure hope everyone is well.

Good to see Dad back home. Have you ever mentioned if Phillip's parents ever lived on or near water previously? Or is this a completely new experience for them?

I hope Phil's mom will make applesauce with all the apples...frozen apple pies too.

Hopping around from project to project is so Understandable, as Life Happens. Did we ever see the BATHROOM REVEAL??? I don’t remember. Wishing you all well and esp your Poppa. 😊🤟🏼🙏🏼💕

Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺

Such an awesome video honey.

I heard about an app that you can download and you take s picture of the plant or tree and it instantly tells you what it is,

Your dad is home & feeling better. Would you consider doing the rest of the wall in the backsplash since it's so amazing ?

Where are you?😊 Are you guys ok?😟 I'll have you in my prayers. 🙏

Those tiles look very familiar to the ones in the Presumed Innocent tv series 😅

What’s going on with the 🐝?

Glad Dad is doing better & projects looking nice. But summer is getting nearer & nearer to a end. When is the barn getting done for those animals? I bet the horses are out growing that shed by now. Has Philip possibly been working on it & the fences. They need to be able to roam freely. Nothing better for animals but to have a free space to roam.

So glad Philip’s Dad is home and feeling better! Glad that the grout didn’t completely destroy your hard work with the wood tiles. Sadly, I won’t be participating in the nifty crafting kits BUT I don’t think that lives would be an easy thing for everyone. I’m worried that we are all going to wear you out. Yes, you are young and active… but I hope that it doesn’t become too much to try to do everything. I will watch either way. Love everything you do! You are a wonderful Day Brightener! B~}

Are there any new videos? I haven’t seen any!

God bless 🙏❤️😇

Wondering what is happening up there? It has been almost 2 weeks. Hoping all is well.

Does this bay freeze in the winter? Keep that in mind when making the dock. If it does freeze, you'll need to move it so not to crush it during break up. I love the triangle tiles!

I see a lot of apples in the future. Apple pie, apple butter, apple jelly….

Is everything OK Elysia we haven’t seen you for a few weeks now? I hope everyone is well.

Re Grout: You should have bought grout in a tube - it would have given you the ability to just aim/put it in the seams - squirt it in - use your finger to tamp it in - and you wouldn't have had that huge clean up.

I am worried about you. You are over extending yourself and from reading your messages people are getting upset. We miss you but you can’t do it all. To much pressure for anyone. Maybe you could get some help with your kits. High school girls would love to make a little money on mailing days. Please don’t make yourself sick. We love you and worry when we don’t see you for so long. Take care of you.❤❤❤

Will you be able to to start the barn this summer?

❤❤❤❤❤❤

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰🌻🕊️💯💫

Can you send the boxes to Norway ??

I have a suggestion. Why don't you take pre subscriptions for you monthly boxes and give them a month to prepay/order for it. That way you know exactly how many you would need and maybe do an extra ten or twenty that people can buy that are new to your channel. Something to consider.

For those of us that chose a subscription, do we need to preorder?

Hey, where u guys been?? Hope all is well..missing ur videos..been like 2 weeks:(

Have you finished your ceiling in pantry room I didn't want to miss it 😊

🙏🙌🥳

What did you do with moms old light fixture.... Is it up for sale??

Maybe grandma will join your Christmas sale. Lynn

Do we get a free Philip 😊

❤🎉🙏🏻🙌

I think you should just scrap wood tiles and go and get some real tiles
