Suggestion for your columns wrap them in cedar. It will break up the stone look and cedar is naturally rot resistant. Stain it with a semi transparent high quality stain. It will look amazing

[@johnwells920]

We just did that looks like a million bucks

[@johncalander2092]

When Dougo was lighting the pit Amy had her phone out ready to hit the last digit of 911

[@marm842]

Hot dog got Sunday edition 👍😊😊

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

I would love to be a fly on the wall at a Larson family dinner . It would be hilarious.

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

It's amazing all the upgrades you can get done, once the kids move out. So nice to see Amy. she's Adorables!

[@paxbonum4683]

"It's not even funny" yet I'm laughing and laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful place to call home. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@stevenclohesy5835]

Monday morning viewing here in South Australia

[@johnloken1445]

Your conversations are classics-Dougo is as good as any stand up comic!

[@sumnerkinney2166]

Boy that deck will be able to withstand even Hurricane Ian. Great job! Dougo is the BEST!

[@anthonyfunderburg2436]

I love the firepit from Hell!!! Doug's story about it had me crying! Great video, love the family stuff.

[@davebullock3517]

What a beautiful looking home!! Dougo’s fire pit story still has me wiping tears from laughing. Glad you weren’t hurt. You could use that thing as a forge.

[@Gkings410]

I love Amy's updates and especially her happy faces as Dougo gives us the tour of the remodel!!!!

[@brianmiller4282]

With the stone on the rest of the house I think wrapping the pillars with wood would look good

[@howardrich408]

Nothing looks better than Stone on a house absolutely beautiful 👍👍👍

[@sallydunbar1683]

Dougo! DIAMOND PLATE those pillars! 😉🤣😂🤣 It all looks great, don't skimp on the ceiling fans, you'll be replacing them before your eyebrows grow back! Larson's always do quality and have great taste! Thanks for updating, I'm still crying from the fireplace story!!🥸🤣

[@victorstanfill3164]

Always entertaining. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. Stay well. ☀️ I

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Chet Dougo and Amy

[@garywatts8543]

Love Amy's face at the beginning! Priceless!

[@nigelpidd4483]

He's as mad as a box of frog's. My favourite on KZbin.

[@paulwasserman97]

Happy Wife HAPPY LIFE Dugo!!!! You know that.🤣🤣👍👍

[@manonvanleijen4605]

Was that a little glimpse of Stone we saw? Not often we see the entire family in a video But the house, deck and garden are becoming beautiful.

[@berniestraight126]

Amy it’s so good to see you I wish I lived near you all I would love to come help you all on the weekend work but Washington is a little bit to far to help

[@mmurphy2317]

Quite Bespoke bar/grill/pit! I'd first, spray paint a couple of kitchen fire extinguishers black...then mount one inconspicuously to the end seating area of the pit, and another near the grill...and then...if you know...you know...Dougo! I'm thinking that too much darkness(as on columns) will eventually get "dated", while merely sealing the concrete will work...pending completion of design desires! 🤔 The house should be featured in Gun & Garden or Architectural Digest...just sayin' ! 🍻 Amy(for your patience) and Dougo (for drivin' the struggle bus with your hair on 🔥)🍻🍸🍹👀‼️

[@jefferymcintosh114]

On the pillars,Cedar wrap on them would look great,plus the weather resistant and life of wood

[@kimbehrens4685]

I agree Cedar is the way to go.

[@jshwrig1]

Agree some sort of a timber rap. Redwood wood be another good option.

[@ryanb7476]

agree, done this myself looks great!

[@ethanrepine8862]

Cedar or redwood last for 20-30 years, but black locust last for 100+ years. Cedar is easy to get and redwood or black locust is the hardest to get....

[@MaryWehmeier]

Redwood wrap would look good.

[@davidkimmel4216]

As has been said before. Never a dull moment at the farm and home 🎉😂😊

[@john67654]

A big hello from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@patrickbachman2184]

New book coming soon from Larson Press…”The Perils of Dougo “ one man’s qwest to just get his house and deck done before the corner room at ‘ the home’ becomes available. In Hardcover,Paperback & for e readers!

[@jerryfischer3988]

I'd buy that book!

[@charlesjohnsjr.5809]

Amy Larson is an accomplished author. She could write it

[@dhenschel4]

Those pancake lights are great, easy to install, cheap to operate, best invention for the home. As long as the soffit is open don't forget to put in outlets for xmas lights, something I forgot on my house. For the pillars, there are so many different tiles I wouldn't know what to recommend but there should be something to satisfy that.

[@tylermandler2954]

Rough sawn Cedar would look good on those posts. Or you could do some sort of tile on them aswell

[@ronlarson2561]

Happy wife Happy life

[@fullers1966]

Doug love your deck you have a very pretty view there with the lake as far as fans go either with a hunter or Westinghouse very good products you won't be sorry

[@generalgus]

Looks great. Wrap the pillars in rough sawn stained lumber from a local mill. I think it would look nice with all the stone

[@garyberg]

ah, the dreaded upgrade/change orders that they forget to mention you might want after the intitial project is started. I like how Amy just stood in the background shaking her head.

[@dhtinc1583]

really looking good Doug and Amy you sure do deserve it for all your hard work

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I love Amy’s hair style!

[@hobman]

Best logo montage on youtube....thanks Stone

[@robertbradford7892]

Where did that two years go good grief!! all the heck you've been through it looks amazing.💯

[@craigwavra3495]

That was 2.5 yrs ago??? Still remember you guys starting the project!! Very nice design!

[@plowtruckdriver]

The look on Amy's face , priceless

[@bobkyllo578]

If you cut the railing posts make sure you cut the bottom. That way your holes will still line up

[@zeroquanta4252]

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Black Ceiling is AWESOME..!!!!! GREAT on all the Stone,,,, WOW,,,, When the Grass goes down, it is going to make a World of difference....

[@grantpowers]

Hi Doug,, I retired from the military 5 yrs ago after 30 yrs of duty, moved back to the family farm in eden valley, I’m rebuilding the farm house also , having my fun to as you say ,, I watch Larsen farm’s videos weekly, I’m happy to be a farmer again

[@tomsmith897]

Trowel on charcoal colored mortar on the pillars.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Your house looks awesome Dougo and Amy

[@billsrq1788]

Hello from hurricane ravaged Sarasota Florida

[@davidconaway2034]

Wrap the pilers with rough cedar. That would look good.

[@user-rr6sj8wm5l]

House looks great! Stay away from the wood. Plain concrete looks the best. Saw a glimpse of Stone at the end of video. You should introduce him. Family forever. Great content as usual. Thank you Larson Farms.

[@hugo5466]

Looks good,very good 😮

[@russellehler6706]

Dougo is the BEST and now he's got a "Dougo" shirt. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[@waggtech4883]

Might consider lighting the torch and providing the ignition source before cranking open the gas valve or introducing the issuing sound as you put it… your eyebrows will thank you! 😂

[@TheoSmith249]

Hey Doug, don’t ever forget. Propane is heavier than air, and Natural gas is lighter. With no breeze propane will settle and fall to where you are igniting. 💥🔥

[@kathygunderson2204]

Absolutely gorgeous. TY for the fire pit tips!!! Nice seeing Stone!!!

[@jeremyban1611]

Vertical Concrete Stain from H&C can get any color you want just brush and roll it on.

[@Bigbear4224]

What a beautiful house you have built. Both Dougo and Amy deserve it from all the years of hard work on the farm. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day either.

[@rickharper1497]

Staining and sealing the columns will be the cheapest option!! Next option you could wrap them with metal, tile or wood!!

[@heyupchum]

oh my days! That look from Amy when Dougo said it wasn't gonna be finished this year. I'm sure his life flashed before his eyes! Hahahaha

[@stephenjohnson5119]

The love that family has for each other, beautiful to see, thanks for sharing.

[@chadplaugher5962]

Looks good Dougo!

[@gerryhartung736]

Doug, Amy, the home is what we all work for. CONGRATS for all those hours farming, you've certainly earned it.

[@jtzr1]

Guessing when fire pit was lit. Brian's Farming video of working words were said.

[@sethdennis6251]

I think wrap the pillars in old barn wood would look really neat.

[@danwortmann7064]

The best videos right here!

[@tedturner5881]

About the pillars, you have stone on the house and the retaining walls, may i suggest wood on the pillars. It would look sharp. You could use composit deck boards on the pillars, no maintenance. The place looks terrific!!!

[@rogerembry4777]

Thanks for the update, looks great 👍

[@denault3985]

Dougo's house looks great, didn't know the Larson's owned lakefront property.

[@keithsweinhagen8270]

Thank you for the update Dougo! Looking great👍

[@markyoull6744]

looks great dougo

[@guymayhew7855]

I have hunter outdoor fans, I have had mine in central MN for 7 years now no problems. They were reasonably priced.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Everything is looking great!👍👍

[@joanromyak8637]

Spending time with my son at 72 and 44 is the best time i spend and if we can actually accomplish something better yet

[@neilarmstrong7906]

Nice shirt Dougo!! The house looks good

[@ms1212100]

House looks great!!

[@dogcreek8547]

A very very sweet crib Dougo and Mrs Dougo

[@stevekissel605]

Great video 👍 👍

[@maxxcherry6955]

Y'all have a beautiful home . Happy for you !

[@heuhen]

you can do it simple, by using concrete paint, then later on you can tile or stone them, or just do Natural wood,m with some oil on, would look awesome (problem with oiled wood, is that they need maintenance from time to time)

[@danagschwind6457]

Beautiful looking house!

[@va3kbc]

Thanks for the update!!

[@johnmckenzieiii2808]

Watch you guys all the time. You all are awesome!

[@shanebartlett8440]

House is looking amazing, thanks for the update 👍👍

[@sh3ll3yb]

Wow, that rock work is gorgeous!

[@TheSoloAsylum]

Dougo knows all the little flaws in the house. We don't and would never even notice them. The house looks great to me.

[@bobfields4275]

I have installed that exact same cable railing you guys got. (Advice) do not tension cables past snug, if you go to what the instructed tension says, You will regret it in so many different ways

[@David_B777]

If you plan to use the outdoor fireplace in the winter, make sure you put drain holes in the pan so that the water has somewhere to go. Other wise Dougo is in for another eyebrow trim and a bit of a bang

[@danasheets1774]

Excellent 😎

[@ThomasG77]

It looks great!

[@kelleymetcalf4385]

Thank y’all that started my day with a huge smile on my face.

[@AaronROlson]

Looks nice Doug! Enjoy it, you earned it!

[@lancecornell5371]

House looks fantastic!

[@billoconnor8082]

[@zram4x4]

[@bradpogue3448]

[@jeffreymcneil8480]

[@jasonpeters3089]

[@keithselzer9816]

Looks awesome very nice !!!

[@michaelelliott334]

Love the stone on the house. It was great seeing your mom again.

[@cjflanaganyahoo]

DougO - do stone the pillars bud. But with a lighter color stone. Like the color on the side of the stairs.

[@stephentreadwell8436]

It is beautiful. We love You guys and your videos!! Thank you for sharing. Dougo is awesome 😊

[@davidbuchanan1938]

Awesome family ❤
