Now She’s Trying to Organize at the Shop

So much to do, so little time. We give you a little tour of the upstairs shop living quarters after we spiffed it up a bit. I marvel at how much there is yet to do. Doug and I have two styles of managing projects that are not aligned. Nothing new here.
Also, we update you on the latest minor surgery Doug had. I pronounced the medical term wrong but I think you will get the idea.

I really miss Nickis videos and her awesome attitude she was the best.

[@amysblessings]

I miss her spunk.

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

I miss her point of views and spunk

[@bartrutledge1940]

Just don't put the oven paper work in the oven 😂

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

She was a such a dear soul.

[@danielmercker7369]

I dont care how many videos the Larsons put still enjoy watching, I don't see arguments I don't see bad things I get to see humor and fun just a joy to see

[@devilschild]

Nikki was a fan favorite and it's good to hear her name mentioned now and then.

[@RandyHunt19]

Doug and Amy so nice the memory of Nikki is all around you guys where ever you look……❤ a wound that never heals fully….

[@amysblessings]

Nope. Never.

[@charlesowens9784]

Amy's videos are so funny when Doug is in them. I just love them both

[@delovelydeb1]

I really enjoy Amy's and Doug videos. Bless you both♡

Patina on the Dougo coffee table

[@MichaelBallard-v9o]

Definitely miss Nikki she was amazing and done a great job on the videos. And always had a smile even after she got sick.😢😢

[@denniskurszewski2707]

Don't forget smoke alarms and stairs railing , Liability. Cool worker quarters !

[@thomasstarr9011]

GET THE MAN IN ORDER NOW,BOSS.TELL HIM NOW.NO PUTTING.DINNER BOSS.

[@kevink4914]

Sure miss watching Nikki on her channel working on refurbishing furniture. Sure she would have loved to work on the living space at the shop. One thing you could see she loved working on anything with wood and finishes.

[@keithauer4548]

Take the folder and the filter put it in a envelope and tape it on the back of the fridge never gets lost that way plus keeps the fridge far enough from the wall so it works better

[@KathyKinnaird]

Doug better out than it. You both keep us in stitches 🤫

[@bertrutledge4546]

When I was very young my grandmother had a coffee table like that but one long piece of glass. I crawled on top and the glass broke, I fell through landing on the glass and scared the crap out of all the adults. Mother picked me up fearing I was all cut up by the glass but I didn't even have a scratch. Grandma had safety glass put in and when she died I got the table. The incident happened about 65 years ago.

[@amysblessings]

Wow! That’s quite a memory!

[@sallydunbar1683]

The coffee table seems fine in that space, a useful piece. Nicely made Dougo. Nice to see Nikki's furniture. She had a great eye for re-doing furniture! Miss her, as i know you all do. Good luck with finishing the upstairs. It's never-ending. I'm glad Dougo looks to be healing well. Getting older ain't for sissies as my Dad told me. 😉❤

[@joebryant5793]

Should get a HEPA air filter up there, help with the dust and any hired help to breath better.

[@thomasanderson1783]

I can only hope that someday I can have a marriage like you guys enjoy. It's rare these days and quite something. Whoever thought I'd sub to Amy Larson! Lol! In truth, you both give me hope and inspiration. Thank you .

[@benpridham2394]

I’m So glad Amy and Doug, that you have held on to the Memories of Furniture that Nikki Sweet heart and inspiration she always Showed. Nikki Touched all of Your Family in a Beautiful Way that can’t be replaced. I used to Look forward to her honey Do list and Projects With Chet, 2 young Adults that shared a Bond of Love and felt Nikki was the Life that pushed Chet to New Heights. So Glad Eric The bio Swede stepped in to Help a Great friend Chet through Nikki challenges in her Health. You’re one big Loving Family. I’m glad to have come across your Channel. God Aligns Our Paths. When I See Toby on the Farm I feel Nikki’s Presence.

[@sallydunbar1683]

Very well said. ❤

Thank you 👍

[@deblarsen8528]

​@@amysblessings Bravo! I agree too!

[@zman3534]

Enjoy yer videos. The two of you make a great team. Sorry I'm so late to the dance. Sometime ask Dougo what the stus of the deck off the upstairs at the shop is. Just what he needs, someone adding to his list of to do's. Be safe.

[@x_Dude1]

The dynamic duo - little place looks good it only needs some finishing up.

[@oliviashuii364]

I’m the same age as you I almost died this fall. My carotid artery was blocked 95%. So t take any day for granted

[@bethknapp2736]

I have a rocking chair of my moms that has character the Chihuahua pup she had would chew on the end of the legs made my dad so mad but he was a pup. I love seeing those marks on the legs memories of my mom and pup.❤❤

[@duhacekfamily]

Would love to see Chet’s new lady be in more videos think she would be a great addition I know everyone isn’t comfortable in front of a camera

[@stevebiddle8912]

Always enjoy your videos. Glad to see Doug’s elbow healed.

The look on dugo's face filter in the refrigerator 😂

[@danfinley3690]

Thanks for taking the time out and showing us all the beautiful work y’all done bless y’all and be safe

[@Harry-yv7oe]

Maybe you were thinking of Patina. I love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@timothyfry8470]

Amy is the boss right, she has great organizational qualities

[@williamlancaster4859]

Dougo - you need a rail at the top of the steps for safety reasons.

[@amysblessings]

Yep.

[@professor6214]

From someone who goes back to IA from CA to work several weeks every fall all you really need to do is add the cabinets with a countertop, a microwave, a sink and some repurposed dishes and that space will be perfect. That's what I have where I stay and it works great. Just my opinion.

[@stevenkaras4562]

Tie a string to your dust collector, then tie the other end to robovac. Dusting and vacuuming at the same time.😀

[@beckyumphrey2626]

The guest quarters looks great.

[@joespooner3966]

Tell Doug to get in the wash bay and get the rags that used to use for drying equipment. Last video Chet put out he was throwing them on the ground 😂😂

[@donniehauge9288]

Doug couldn’t wait for Amy to leave so he could clean the finger prints off the coffee table glass…😂😂

[@amysblessings]

I suppose. I thought of that after watching it. I bet I left prints.

[@DavidNettesheim]

Omg, my grandson had the same tumor on the bottom of his foot, stiches came out yesterday and doing fine Larson videos are my favorite, keep it going

[@marm842]

Ouch glad u got that taken care of dougo.

[@dmorgan28]

Amy thanks for your videos. We always enjoy them! Take care and have a good one! 👍❤️

[@Ed_in_Md]

Patina. They call it patina. I think that’s the word you were looking for.

[@Deadeye-zr2kb]

Dougo that is Patina that your looking for I think the living area looks great you have a nice area for the guys to stay in thanks for the tour

[@aproudamerican2692]

Nikki restored some beautiful pieces. She was a very creative young woman. I'm so glad to see that you still have afew pieces of hers in your possession. I was a subscriber and avid watcher of her channel. *🙏🏻Prayers and Best Wishes🕊*

[@amysblessings]

My house is full of pieces repurposed by Nicole. 🤍

[@MichaelNorman-oq8fw]

Coffee table…. Tent the class like Brody.. and make the wood like your trim… perfect

[@skipmeyer7066]

Amy….. enjoyed meeting you in Louisville, we were visiting from California

[@amysblessings]

California! Yes! Thank you for stopping by!

[@edhoxsie7349]

I enjoy the two of you. You bring a smile and chuckle to my evening

[@AndreZA979]

For as pragmatic as Doug always is, I agree with Amy on putting the refrigerator filter and instructions inside the icebox!

[@amysblessings]

Score 1 for Amy! Thank you!

[@petermoller8337]

Store the manuals on the top of the fridge 😊 Patina!

[@JanetRatch0108]

I would have a small file cabinet in that space with folders that pertain to anything that is used up there, such as instructions, warranties, etc. That's a great space!!

[@davidkimmel4216]

The apartment looks great. Much better than my grad daughter’s dorm room. 😊

[@martinbenthin2368]

Love watching the Larson's and crew. Retired builder from Michigan would love to come and work on the loft space for a vacation. You should cover the beam using the same metal as the ceiling either white or maybe a contrasting color. You could also do the end walls to match and cut the ridges out to fit tight and seal that up.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

The bear could ride around on your fancy robot vacuum & help clean the floor.

[@garth-e3j]

THAT LOOKS GOOD keep up your vids i enjoy watching you two keep it going

[@brentmurray8333]

HAve you thought about a shelf cap with transition to small crown or other molding for top of walls. could be a place to display gadgets, tractors like the office has in the kitchen, etc...

[@debralawler-nt9si]

It looks good Doug. Just take bit easy listen to your doctor prayers for a quick recovery. Lobe the little apt Looks good and I'm sure it will evolve with time

[@kylefiebig]

Is the door by the kitchen for the future porch? Thanks for making the videos Amy! We sure appreciate them!!

[@melvinalbert6172]

If I had time I would love to come finish you’re upstairs apartment

[@garyberg]

Doug and Amy, I'd be more than happy to come and do the finishing work on your apartment but, I already know what would happen. Being 79 years old, I would get mad at myself for working to slow and would wind up firing me.

[@amysblessings]

Great table dougo

The next thing Amy will want is wall paper with a flower design and pink lacey curtains.😂

Doubtful. 😂

[@Marty1985class]

Holy cripes that "apartment" is bigger than my house. So i guess we'll see Doug on Dr. Pimple popper. 😂😂

[@amysblessings]

I just said that tonight…it is quite something, pimple popper.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Amy and Dougo. It was an enjoyable video. Thanks for explaining what Dougo had done to his arm. Looks like it is healing fine and not hurting you so you are on the mend. Take care of yourself Dougo. Thanks for the update on the upstairs apartments. I think they look just fine. Great place for seasonal help to live in the spring or fall. Very nice apartments for on the farm. Nice work fixing it up. Amy you need to be the manager for the apartment area. Know you will make sure it is finished and clean and ready to go. Your hired!!!!!!! Thanks for everything Amy and Dougo. You both are great people. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@JT-1969]

Doug, I have dozens of lipomas all over my body, I’ve learned to live with them. I had surgery 25 years ago to remove many, but more have come along. Doctors have told me they are hereditary, I’d like to know who in my family’s history had these so I could thank them.

[@amysblessings]

Such a lovely thing to inherit.

[@rdyardie]

I am due for knee replacement surgery on Mar. 4th in Calgary, Alberta. . . . I will NOT describe my surgery at the Easter or the Thanksgiving table. . . . You did beautiful work on the woodwork for your suite. Thank you for showing us around. Those fat cysts are taken out when your doctor thinks you need it. It was good to have yours taken out Doug. Take care.

"Patina" would be a good name for the hutch paint scheme. Put your extra filter and instructions in a plastic folder and staple or tape it inside the new cabinet closest to the fridge. Are you going to put a deck on the kitchen? Or escape door? Great show!

Escape door perhaps. It’s supposed to have a deck eventually

Fatty tumors are a pain to deal with i have one that reoccurs on my ankle between the inside ball of ankle & bottom of the foot. I have had 4 operations on the area for that & a tarsal tunnels release add an extra muscle that doesnt belong in same area. I am due for surgery #5 on same area & its a 6-8 inch cut around the ankle for above issues & a 3rd attempt at planter fascia release as well. Always fun times. Wish you the best on recovery for that issue. Its sucks when we get old Doug lol.

"Organize at the shop" takes on a very funny unintentional meaning, for those of us who worked for big farm equipment makers that may have had "organized" labor union collective bargaining for the people on the factory "shop" floor making the machines 😂
