The Barn Yard Blog

It was a dream come true to work with the legendary and amazingly talented pioneers in home improvement television, Kevin O’Connor, Tom Silva, Richard Trethewey, and everyone at This Old House on #TOHIpswich. The latest project house in Ipswich, MA called for a detached structure and the homeowners called The Barn Yard to build it. The Barn Yard President Everett Skinner IV and crew got to spend the day building alongside these incredible people in the construction industry.

The Barn Yard is on HGTV! We were so excited to collaborate with Jonathan Knight on the HGTV show Farmhouse Fixer. Jonathan decides that a Lenox Carriage Barn would be the best for his clients in Wayland, MA, so we work together to build a post & beam barn that his clients call “spectacular.” Watch the full episode on HGTV and get a behind-the-scenes look in this blog post.
