It's been a BUSY SPRINGTIME between planting 1700 Christmas trees, working on the house, fixing tractors and making hay!

Big shout out to DEUR EQUIPMENT in Newaygo for fixing our clutch!

And of course an emergency tractor repair troubleshooting a hydraulic coupling that was leaking badly and needed a new one ring. There may have been a bit of screan crying involved trying to figure it out while getting showered in fluid but it's all good now!

And I've spent a good month trying to help a friend (thankyou those who have helped!) You can find the linked video here-

And putting together a 1 year recap of the house build from 50 folders 😵‍💫

But the videos will be coming! In the meantime, enjoy this photo I took yesterday of our current progress!

***SOUND ON, WATCH VIDEO ****
It shouldn't end like this. It's Memorial Day Weekend and her husband of 22 years served our country faithfully for 25 years.
WE NEED TO HELP HER. She deserves it, for all that her family has given us as a country.

This is a FUNDRAISER for all you GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE out there. God told us to "take care of the widows" and I'll be damned if I can't do SOMETHING to help her out.

I finally published my children's book, and will donate 100% of earnings for the next 6 months to her. This project put me through hell, so please help out. links are in the video, plus a QR code. or visit https://www.zansfarm.com/soldiers-child/

PLEASE FORWARD AND SHARE THIS!!!!

PURPLE. Not kidding.

Is it bad? What do YOU think? New video on YouTube coming out (at 7am EST Sunday) and we dive HEAD FIRST into alllll the things:
Sanding
Flooring
Lighting
Cleaning (again)
and of course . . . PAINT.

And there MUST be something in the water because between questionable paint colors and my own jokes at Erik's expense, it's a wild rollercoaster of a video which leaves ALL OF US with the same question:

What the #%$@%$% is going on with this project?!

You have been warned.

And also a pre warning for next week's video . . . the choices get EVEN WIILDER.

WHOA! It's time for an update!

WE ARE DONE WITH DRYWALL!! It will take a few weeks yet to show in videos and even THEN I will still be dumping at least HALF of everything filmed, but honestly I'd LIKE to get caught up a bit MORE with videos instead of being over a month behind.

We have a drywall finishing crew "Mudbenders" out making our work look amazing and THEN we have a painter coming to PRIME THE WALLS.

Ahem . . . we also bought FLOORING. Yep.

Erik had planned originally to go the route of unfinished hickory planks and setting and finishing it ourself. BUT . . . after looking back over 3 months worth of DRYWALLING, and talking to a few pros, he decided PREFINISHED would be a more time efficient route for us! (See photo rendition of the floor with our wall feature).

EARLIER this week, I had the pleasure of meeting with the Slate-Lite team .northamerica .realstone , and even Company Owner "Jan" who had flown over for Germany to present his unusual take on SLATE TILE.

I've heard a lot of disdain for slate tiles, and it's understandable. But when I say THIS IS DIFFERENT, it IS. It was one of the COOLEST IDEAS I had seen at our local home show. I'm excited to be on board with working with them and we will be featuring their tile in our GUEST BATHROOM and later on more places throughout the house.

As easy as this stuff is to put up AND maintain, we might just get a bit crazy with it, find unique uses for it, so stay-tuned! (PLUS I have a sample pack I'll be showing THIS coming week)

And today, we went for our FIRST PAINT PICK session. Where, we ACTUALLY AGREED (more or less) on colors! The hickory floors will be a bit tricky to pair with (especially since we do NOT have them yet) but I THINK we can make it happen!

The furnace has been running now for roughly 3 weeks, and SO FAR the house seems to do amazingly well holding temp! And it might be a bit TOO TIGHT as all the doors blew open the other day when we entered from the garage . . .

SO we have to do:
Paint prime
Paint color ceiling
paint color walls
HANG LIGHTS -- INCLUDING OUR Brand Lights
FLOORING
KITCHEN SET . . and more!

Sometimes in life there are GOOD ideas . . . and then there are GREAT ideas!

Elco lighting, making a "good" idea GREAT!

Things are rolling along at a good clip right now with the house, but I'll put that in a DIFFERENT POST!

Tonight I'm releasing a quick HOW TO video on how to wire up LED tape lights. I take a complex project and dumb it down (ok maybe TOO DUMB, but hey, nothing blew up).

And just for reference, I asked my electrician about wiring them up, and it definitely had his wheels turning! SO I'm glad I was able to get some light GLOWING and put some AMAZING LED tape lights from Elco Lighting to the test!

PLUUUUUUUUUS ------- a COOL SNEAK PEAK at our accent wall (just a photo mock up, but STILL cool!)

I'm sorry you are stuck watching drywalling . . . maybe I'll streamline it a bit and bring everything a bit more UP TO DATE!

PS - let me know your thoughts on the accent wall!

It was Christmas Eve . . . and while everyone else was happily chatting, watching Christmas movies and sipping hot cocoa, WE were burning the midnight oil TRYING to get a FULL GABLE WALL fully drywalled BEFORE Christmas morning.

Were we able to get it DONE in time? New video up NOW on youtube under

Plus a lil bit of FUN at the Grand Rapids Home Show!

07/01/2025

What's this purple stuff for anyway?

DONE - well, ok JUST the ceiling . . . it was a mess, but we finally got the ceilings DONE in the sloped roof barndo!

We definitely had to get a bit creative, but we GOT IT ALL UP (up is an understatement!)

Check out the progress ON YOUTUBE under

And let me know what you think of the latest editing techniques! next week we are MOVING ON to the BIG WALL (it just keeps getting better doesn't it?!)

15/12/2024

Drywalling . . . love it or HATE IT?

Doing it our self is a HUGE cost-savings . . . but IS IT WORTH IT?

TAAAAALLLL ceilings . . . TIGHT spaces . . . maybe this was a DUMB idea.

In the video coming out MONDAY (not today), we have our SECOND experience with TIGHT, TALL spaces and it's a doozey!

Honestly though, there is NOTHING straight forward and EASY about finishing the insides of this house - between the sloped ceilings, the extreme height and awkward areas, it's SLOW GOING!

Be sure to head over to YouTube tomorrow to check out the progress PLUS get a quick update on our 750 planted baby Christmas Trees!

08/12/2024

BIG REVEAL along with FULL cost breakdown of the modern barndominium house is still being worked on, and the video will be out TOMORROW!

It took me all week to get enough voice to talk without coughing 🙃 so everything is LATE!

I apologize, but it will be WORTH IT!

If you are considering building in the next 2 years you definitely need to watch!

Tune in to YouTube and follow along with the progress 😄

03/12/2024

DONE! FINALLY! BIG SLOPEY is completed!

Ok, so just the SHELL is done, but hey, we ALSO got the MAIN LIVING SPACE ceiling done TOO! And that was a TASK!

Everyone was busting it out trying to get it done!

Watch the video at 7:30pm December 3 Eastern Standard time on YouTube

Everyone was sick all weekend so it's a bit late!

NEXT WEEK will be the BIG REVEAL . . . .
and . . . . .

a FULL BREAKDOWN on costs SO FAR! So if you've been foaming at the mouth trying to decide what everything COULD cost you, hopefully this will help!

Now is the time to plop your guesses below for the FULL SHELL plus labor (not including insulation or drywall)
