Bryan and Sarah Baeumler Build This Year’s Backyard Must-Haves: an Outdoor Pizza Oven and Barn

Committed to making their family home homey for all resident creatures, Bryan and Sarah built their (future) farm animals a beautiful blue barn.

Originally, the Baeumler barn was meant to be completed in the summertime, but construction was still in progress when the fall rolled around.

With the windows installed and framing finished, Sarah and Bryan take in the progress on the barn build.

As the end of summer came and went, Bryan realized they need to get a move on if this project was going to get completed before the winter.

In light of the time crunch, Bryan puts his right-hand man Adam onto the task of finishing the blue barn.

Focusing all his attention on the blue barn, Adam is able to complete this cute construction project in good time.

Now all the farm animals will have somewhere warm to live when the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall.

Even the rabbits get their own new designer digs with a blue-and-white hutch tucked off to the left.

Having a safe, fully fenced area is the first step towards good husbandry – just add water and feed and you’re good to go.

Bales of hay and sacks of feed are kept out of the rain and frigid temperatures in the Beaumlers’ small, stylish barn.

While the exterior is complete, there is still more to do inside the barn structure, but that might have to wait until next summer.

A chain-linked fence circles the Baeumler barn, so as long as they don’t keep kangaroos the farm animals should stay inside the perimetre.

Bryan and Sarah buzz around their family compound checking up on the progress of the ongoing projects throughout the property.

The second outdoor construction project at the Baeumler place is the pizza oven and charcoal barbequing area.

A wood-burning pizza oven had been on Bryan’s wish list for a while but Sarah was less than keen.

After a heated discussion on where the pizza oven should be (i.e. close to the house or near the fire pit), Sarah and Bryan picked a semi-open spot behind that house.

Bryan and his crew had to move two trees and a couple rows of boxwood hedges to make room for the new pizza-oven/barbeque setup.

After some drama around pouring the concrete and an unforgiving wooden form, the pizza oven really came together.

“I think the pizza oven and barbeque look amazing,” confirmed Sarah. “I was a little skeptical at it at first but it looks spectacular.”

While Sarah and Bryan often don’t see eye-to-eye on the specifics of a project, they always come together on the end goal – creating a magical home for their family.
