Worse Before Better - Yard Reconstruction

[@vickysimmons521]

Love watching you will love it when he gets done Amy. Want to wish Dougo a Happy Father's day !!!❤

[@davidkimmel4216]

Will look beautiful when finished. God Bless

[@Cindyloudickel]

We watch Larsen Farms every time their is a post and I watch yours. Will have to have my husband watch this one for sure as he is in earthmoving and will enjoy seeing the excavator.

[@sallydunbar1683]

Dougo needs his own channel! Good thing Chet bought that big, ugly green dump trailer. It has really been useful! Great point about courage!

[@charlesowens9784]

Thank you Amy for the video watching from Reno NV

[@michaelesquivel1522]

Nice video Amy keep them coming!! Blessings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@kennethwiklund102]

I think the perfect gift for Dougo is an Engcon tilt-rotator 👍🏻

[@dmorgan28]

Amy we enjoyed what you had to say. Thank you for your very encouraging words. 👍❤️🙏

[@bobhayes4112]

Thank you, and you have a beautiful home

[@timkoelling1825]

I love the Dugo..

[@bertrutledge4546]

Amy, you are always so inspiring with your thoughtful words. Your yard will be pretty again. Keep Dougo busy, I don't think he likes idle hands.

[@adambrink4475]

Have to always envision the progress

[@laurienowak4203]

Doug is pretty good at running that machine.

[@laurakelly1138]

I think Dougo loves his little Tonka toy..

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job running the excavator Dougo

[@davidmoran1422]

More power. 💪

[@terrymertz1923]

Thanks for keeping us in the loop and can't wait to see the transformation. Texture the pillars and paint them black.

[@darrenlee2775]

Chet mentioned you need rain in the area and it does look very dry for June. I'm praying you get the moisture you need for a successful growing seasosn. Thanks for the video Mrs. Larson.

Nice Video Amy, I always enjoy your. Please pray for me, going thru the biggest trial of my life. Days away from homelessness, Please pray!

This is a great behind the scenes chanel

Me thinks Dougo has done this before. It will be fun seeing the end result of this work.

[@leeboulton5220]

Keep up the good work boss

Big toys for Dougo

[@Ed_in_Md]

Any project that size does take courage!

[@hawks2252]

Dougo's a surgeon with the 320. He could probably pick up a pencil and write a nasty gram to the DNR with the thing. The pillars as far as finishing them. I don't know if it would fit into the style of the house, but I like to wrap them in lumber. Some log siding or cedar or pine boards/wraps of some type. Northern MN, you will see a lot of log finishes on pillars - gives it a warm look if you will, especially on a lake. Or you could take the crew's busted snowmobile parts and glue them on.

[@tarheelpatch3386]

Your such a wise and inspirational lady.Thank you

[@bryanswing135]

Dougo is like a surgeon with that excavator.

[@AbbyBrian]

Watching videos with you and Doug always make my day a little better. Thanks for posting them. Brian

[@mmurphy2317]

Your yard will recover before you realize it Amy! It will be beautiful! Dougo is at home in his 2nd home...that excavator cab! Ya'll are blessed! Be safe...stay calm and carry on!

[@dennislamers986]

Those cedars looked like poodle tails. It was time to go. If your making an omlett you gotta crack some eggs. Between Dougo and tge Big Swede you got it covered.

[@died4us590]

Those tree's really did have to come down, and landscaping is always bad, but in the end so satisfying. G-d bless.

[@michaelsmith-wl9vy]

I love you guys y'all are amazing give anything to meet y'all from North Carolina saying hello y'all are awesome

[@michaelsmith-wl9vy]

Tell your son congratulations on his engagement been through so much and I'm going through the same thing much respect

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

I have to admit, the trees being removed was satisfying to watch.

[@amysblessings]

Indeed.

Ain’t it great having access to large equipment!!! Stay strong and pray on

[@stevebiddle8912]

As I’ve said before I really enjoy the time you spend with us. You are are an incredible lady.

[@curtweatherbee2523]

Thanks Amy 🤓❤️💯

[@williamking6531]

Late comment. I think your columns look good the way they are, It gives contrast to texture and color. In my opinion more stone would be too much. Like your videos, you have a wonderful family.

[@jeffkizer6666]

Stone them same as the house !! Looks great!

[@stanleyjones4180]

Enjoyed the video amy thanks, i think them pillars would look nice finished off with the same rock that is around your house take care and god bless

[@AndreZA979]

Doug is like a surgeon with that excavator !

[@luisalmeida6276]

Amy you are such an inspiration for everyone. Keep on going girl. The pillars is best to cover with the same rock you have in the walls of the house.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Amy

[@kurtzbradley]

Wise words thank you.

[@terrydarow8401]

That's it Amy tell Doug what to do put him to work😂 I'm anxious to c it when it is finished❤

[@jackarnold7887]

I suggest covering the columns with stone veneer that matches the stone around the deck.

[@davidkramer6585]

That would be too much stone, I recommended stucco. Amy agreed!

[@clydemartin9260]

I’m a big fan of your family!! Just a suggestion about your post a day or so ago!! It concerns the mulch around your flower beds and trees! Take your leaves and dead branches create a compost pile and replace the bought mulch with free stuff!! There’s much information available online!! And compost is a great soil builder!! As for as life things, “Just keep pulling your load” The Lord will help your family!! I know for I lost my wife in 2013!! I’m still dealing with things!! But God is my Pilot!! The grave only contains the remains!! Your soul contains and preserves the memories!! God’s richest blessings be yours

[@douglasbussard3459]

Stucco? Huh? Ugly

[@davidkramer6585]

[@NiceMuslimLady]

Who said to use stucco? Why? Stone veneer would look more consistant.

[@rods3275]

I like the industrial look of them the way they are.

[@hughwhaley3179]

You tell them Amy❤

[@nebraskanassassin6058]

You make my days better thank you two 😊

[@rem32001]

Wrap the pillars with that faux stone like the bottom of the house or get the tile that looks like it. That faux stone you could diy.

[@slhomeandpropertymaintenan183]

Doug absolutely needs a channel. He’s such a natural

[@susanstaples-4761]

Look at it like this its going to be nice in the end . barn wood round your pillars would go nice up and down length wise dark coloured brown 👌 spot on

[@burtzorn4059]

Good luck with your project. Always enjoy seeing the two of you. Take care !!!!

[@bethgiesey9405]

The new patio & flower bed looks beautiful!!!

Beautiful home and patio. Thank you for sharing.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Dougo done a great job!! 👍👍

[@chrisanderson8781]

Hello Amy I truly love you and your family such a beautiful unit together so much love amongst you all. Be well much love from Ohio.

[@ceciliacicchinelli4797]

We wrapped our columns with Hardie board so it looks like they're wrapped with wood but it doesn't deteriorate with moisture the other thing you could do is put outdoor tiles on it. I build an outdoor shower on my house which is a finished yet

[@brianhubbard4175]

I know it's a hard job just do your best keeping those boys out of trouble. God bless you and your family.

[@jesseburns9734]

You will love the new look of the lawn. God Bless You All.

[@lynpostlethwait3083]

Very great video for the family farm and have a safe farm year from Rome ga

[@PaulSmith-pz9eq]

Courage , Courage is something we could all have a little more of . The yard will look great when your finished. I see so much of Chet when I listen to Amy .

[@emmatranter6369]

Amy for the pillars you could tile them with tiles that match the facing stones on the house. That way the pillars won't be any bigger really.

[@casey5711]

Your just a wonderful person. 👍🏾😀

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

It will look nice when it gets done

[@marvincook4543]

pretty neat operation !

[@shawnfoos7844]

Great place for a pool!

[@MrMarthasville]

Doug is a good operator. Knows what he's doing for sure.

[@LazyKFarmstead]

I need that courage. We have to remodel our kitchen to repair storm damage and I am overwhelmed and just stuck. But hubby suggested a new wall full of cabinets which I desperately need for storage and that seems to be acting as motivation. 🤞

[@lesleyboeder1798]

The old saying is you have to crack a few eggs to bake a cake. Or make a mess before you put it right. Looking forward to seeing it finished

[@johnunsicker7440]

Always hard to tear out something you did and there really nothing wrong with it. But its always for the best.

[@RJJ6129]

I think Dougo really loves destroying stuff!😂

[@bethknapp2736]

Can't wait to see how your yard will look when all finished.😊

[@nathanmeece9794]

Dougo doesn't mess around to get a job done. He brings in the big equipment. It's go big or go home.

[@phil6465]

He brought the big equipment and went home!!🤣

[@deanoz9307]

Way to go Ames, yard work is always a “work in progress”. Great attitude!!!

[@matthewfitzpatrick503]

On your pillars I’ve seen it done it looks really good if you go stone like a Waynes coat up to about 4 feet and then colored stucco all the way up to the ceiling and have lighting shining on the pillars down but it’s too late now but it would look really cool

[@keithauer4548]

[@unclebones2488]

will look wonderful Amy no worries

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Very often it is necessary to destruct before you can construct 😊

[@andrewsaunders8252]

Dougo has been watching LetsDig18 remove trees!!

[@robertzacharias1511]

You could do some wrought iron facings on the porch posts...or do a stone veneer on them partway up....perhaps a accent decoration on each of them.... just to breakup how plain they appear....

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video Amy. I'm with a few others that have mentioned it, I'd wrap the pillers in the same stone you have on the house. 🫶🫶🫶

Amy, Before you know it your yard will be finished and be Amazing🤗 I realize you have waited a long time to see your vision come to fruition. It is coming along, it will get there one day👍 Just REMEMBER the saying Rome wasn't built in ah day, keep telling yourself that. Thank You for the update. So Love the memorial garden with the rose bush bloomed🤗

[@rickharper1497]

Cover the pillars with stained cedar planks, create some color and texture contrast with the stone?

[@melvinalbert6172]

Cultured stone would look nice

[@debralawler-nt9si]

Paint the pillars. Try that first love your videos

[@jonicotten8343]

For the pillars---paint them black. They will become invisible and your white patio furniture will be the show.

[@scottraven1721]

maybe those pillars could be lined with some nice, stained cedar ?

[@quik9r]

cedar shake on post or some sort of warm wood feature post to break up all the stone

[@garybedel7979]

Morning Amy , I was thinking about your comment on your columns, have you thought about using the same rock on the pillars as is on the house

[@TheDrPopEye]

You could wrap the columns with the same stone you have on the house. It would look good.

[@gotthumbs2235]

I've seen people use tile on concrete pillars. Either an artistic scene or just a pattern tile. Just a thought. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJfVpnStZd6qqJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnyYi2l9m7CqZ6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWGlg5qHpsaph5Y

[@kristal.8859]

Hi Amy! I would cover the columns with the same rock and use the same colors with Nature stone and cover the floor with that. You might be able to put the Nature stone on the columns too. Nature stone is a brand, there are other brands that are cheaper.
