And that's a wrap . . . well, almost! ---Videos on build on YouTube

This guest bathroom was FAR MORE INVOLVED than most would do, but I really wanted something that complemented the house and made guests feel special.

This was a vision that I'd had from day 1 and it came to life all thanks to Slate Lite North America

The large format stone in the shower gives a nearly seamless look while the smaller 2x4ft stone on the dry walls gives visual intrigue.

Lastly, the stunning, large format Blanco stone on the right helps brighten the room and gives a visual buffet for the eyes.

Accent lighting makes it pop and adds that additional "wow factor".

And now, I'm DONE WITH LADDERS. For a while at least. This was the LAST ITEM TO BE DONE before we could apply for occupancy (we passed our plumbing inspection minus the Bellagio fountain going off in the main kitchen upon turn-on, but that's a story for a later video!)

It will still be a while before the bathroom videos come out, but stay-tuned! There will be a transition week or two as everything gets moved and we figure out internet . . . hopefully!

In the meantime, checkout these links for Slate-lite AND the very generous discount codes (up to 20% off!) and the FREE SAMPLES (normally $6.00 each)

GOING UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP (way up)

I will take full blame for this idea. I knew it was love at first sight. Slate-Lite rock (tile) was the coolest thing I had ever seen in the home design world. And I knew the GUEST BATHROOM would be the perfect show piece for everyone to admire it.

Erik had doubts. Massive doubts. SO MANY DOUBTS he was threatening to rip it all down if he didn't like it (I told him it had to stay AT LEAST 10 years).

But, as each piece went up (with lots of cursing from Erik as he feverishly spread glue on 8ft long panels), he got quieter and quieter until he was fully silent just looking at it.

It looked like chiseled rock because it WAS CHISELED ROCK, each panel entirely different from the others but still similar.

Finally, he came back around and realized my vision was spot on from the start (now he wants a chandelier).

We used 4ftx8ft panels for the shower and 2ftx4ft panels for two dry walls and a full wall of light stone 4ftx8ft panels.

For added effect, the 2ftx4ft panels are gapped to be grouted.

THESE VIDEOS won't be out for a few weeks, but definitely keep an eye open because THIS PRODUCT will be ONE WORTH CONSIDERING, and the install videos a MUST WATCH!

HERE IT IS! One of the COOLEST New Products to hit the US (and I'm NOT exaggerating!)

I first ran across it at a Home Construction Show here in Michigan, and the product BLEW MY MIND.

It was REAL STONE. But it was bendable. Cuttable, and WAFER THIN. And it came in a couple hundred DIFFERENT TYPES!

I present to you "SLATE-LITE" Stone! This will be for the guest bath (See concept photo). Check it out at www.slate-lite.us

This stuff is BETTER THAN WALPAPER and it's ACTUAL STONE, so will add VALUE to your build (unlike paint or wallpaper). **PLUS IT'S MESS FREE (See my photo of me covered in tile mortar from the floor!)

The shower area will use the large sheets of stone in the "Nero" color (dark gray) and the walls will be smaller 24x48" "tiles" in Nero but the wall across from the vanity will be an ACCENT WALL in the light color BLANCO.

I was able to CHOOSE WHICH STONE block to cut from (out of 5) PLUS they cut it to be BOOK MATCHED, so the large sheets will mirror each other for a flawless, interconnecting design.

Because it's on a full fiberglass backing, it's fully waterproof and can be GLUED ON, making for a fast and easy install (unlike tile).

With the 3 stage stone sealer, it's also stainproof!

Stay-tuned for upcoming videos on the guest bath and how we install and use our Slate-Lite tile!

It's SLAT WALL TIME! BEFORE we can start in on our hardwood flooring, we need to get this acoustic slat wall INSTALLED.

In any type of open concept floor plan, ECHO is NO JOKE. Honestly I didn't realize how bad it was until our contractors came back to work on more HVAC stuff and was happy to be able to HEAR himself think, hahaha.

***New video UP on YouTube or search under WTFarm Girl (also new videos on THAT channel too!)

Videos are a few months behind as every waking minute NOT doing farmwork is spent on the house, so BUCKLE UP, they are going to fire through projects pretty quickly when they do come out!

It's official! I will be headed off to my first ever Christmas tree conference this week! The NATIONAL conference will be held just an hour from our farm here in Michigan, so I'll be off Thursday (New growers sessions) and Friday (farm tours and talks).

So if you are headed that way, don't be surprised if you see my dually (unless I borrow Erik's truck as the dually girl has been having starting issues).

Stop me to say Hi and let me know what you are growing!

(And that weekend's video may be late too!!)

God's timing is rarely our timing- sometimes He has BIGGER plans.

You cannot be a farmer AND an atheist.

I was ready to call it the "worst hay year ever." And in my 12 years of making hay I knew it would happen eventually.

I've always driven myself to make the best hay I possibly could, but farming is 50% man, 50% God.

Slowly, over the years, I've learned to take a breath, and remember the other half of the equation. Especially this year. The worst drought we've ever seen, hit us hard - and the weather forecast was a yo-yo.

The rain schedule was tight . . . forecasting 3 days clear, then rain. With Michigan humidity and dew, it would be impossible for us to get all 3 fields done at once, so in early June we cut the first two.

It wasn't until a MONTH LATER that I finally gave up and made the call to cut the last field. The orchard grass was 45 days past due - it would be nothing but trash - I'd be lucky if my own horses would eat it. I hoped to MAYBE get 300 bales off the 8 acres.

It wasn't what I planned. Not what I wanted. And not what I THOUGHT I needed.

Finally, the forecast showed 5 days of clear weather, so I got to work.

As the grass went down, I realized something. The grass had GONE TO SEED and was busy REPLANTING my fields - fields that definitely needed it. The seed I buy is $250 a bag and HARD TO GET, yet here my field was dumping money back into itself.

But that wasn't all . . . I realized I was cutting 1st cutting AND second cutting. Thick, lush, leafy second cutting grass had rapidly grown in under the taller cover of 1st cutting, while ALSO driving out ALL THE WEEDS.

That's when it changed. Radars showed massive storms headed RIGHT FOR US. I prayed that perhaps God would spare our small farm and let the storms go around us.

The next morning, everything was still dry. And two days later I raked some of the BIGGEST windrows I have ever seen. Throughout the day, storms appeared and disappeared on the radar. We brought in not 300, but 700 bales of AMAZING hay.

It hadn't been what I wanted, but God gave me what I NEEDED, and the rain held off until the last bale was in the barn.

God's timing is always best.

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!
