- Doug in the excavator. Erik (The Big Swede) in the tractor...I can't even come up with words.
Plume on top of the house? I mean tree.
What a mess. Yes, I look and sound stressed because I am. I'm ready for this 3+ year project to be done. At yet, I try to find the good in it all... keyword, try.

I have to admit, the trees being removed was satisfying to watch.
Indeed.
@@amysblessingsto answer your confusion missus L, that trailer big Swede is pulling behind the case tractor is basically like a dump truck without the truck
I suggest covering the columns with stone veneer that matches the stone around the deck.
That would be too much stone, I recommended stucco. Amy agreed!
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
Stucco? Huh? Ugly
@@douglasbussard3459 turn away from the mirror.
Who said to use stucco? Why? Stone veneer would look more consistant.
I think Dougo really loves destroying stuff!😂
Watching videos with you and Doug always make my day a little better. Thanks for posting them. Brian
Me thinks Dougo has done this before. It will be fun seeing the end result of this work.
Great job running the excavator Dougo
Dougo doesn't mess around to get a job done. He brings in the big equipment. It's go big or go home.
He brought the big equipment and went home!!🤣
For the pillars---paint them black. They will become invisible and your white patio furniture will be the show.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Love watching you will love it when he gets done Amy. Want to wish Dougo a Happy Father's day !!!❤
Amy we enjoyed what you had to say. Thank you for your very encouraging words. 👍❤️🙏
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!
Ain’t it great having access to large equipment!!! Stay strong and pray on
Will look beautiful when finished. God Bless
Trees way to far gone 3 years of looking like hell is to hard
And they had just recovered from 2019 snow events…
I thought the columns look good but then I am a concrete guy
I reckon I'd like gardening a lot more if I had a 20 ton excavator to do it with!!😁😁
You could wrap the columns with the same stone you have on the house. It would look good.
I've seen people use tile on concrete pillars. Either an artistic scene or just a pattern tile. Just a thought.

Thanks Amy 🤓❤️💯
You will love the new look of the lawn. God Bless You All.
Wise words thank you.
Doug absolutely needs a channel. He’s such a natural
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.
I could that for a day
Paint the pillars. Try that first love your videos
It will look nice when it gets done
Amy, you have on video that Dougo said you're perfect. Keep that for your proof.😂
I would veneer rock like your house
Nice video Amy keep them coming!! Blessings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I'm in the midst of working on my farm...and it looks like...well, you know. I just cut down the last tree so...I have a LOT of fire wood right now! I cut down like 10 trees so far (still have 3 more). Most of them I cut down armstrong style (that means with an axe).
Now, where they're working and where the lake is too bad. All of that, tall grass couldn't be cut down on the trees cut up so you could see more of the lake.
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.
Beautiful home and patio. Thank you for sharing.
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!
Doug is a good operator. Knows what he's doing for sure.
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....
Dougo needs his own channel! Good thing Chet bought that big, ugly green dump trailer. It has really been useful!
Great point about courage!
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.
Put stone on ur columns to match the porch and house
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.
Amy u r absolutely beautiful stunning
Hate to see them go but I understand as for the pillars in you're sitting area you could use the same kind of rock on your house or treated outdoor wood like some bright colored wood.
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
Those tree's really did have to come down, and landscaping is always bad, but in the end so satisfying. G-d bless.
I so much want to help because I operated heavy highway down to residential. It lasted so long I almost went nuts.
I would first try staining the cement pillars black. If that doesn't look good, put stone the same as the rest of the home.
A million dollars worth of equipment makes quick work of it!
Check with your local forestry officers, he be able to tell you how you can save your cedars if you want to keep them.
hi amy,Dougo,i find that yard work is never done but dont know if want it to be i guess it can be done,ok amy take breaks and dougo to,i always do bye for now Amy..
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🤗
I’ve never had a rose bush before. It has bloomed amazingly 🌹
Get a masonary man to put a nice colored finished design onthe columns, or cover them with a veneer.
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 .
Thank you Amy for the video watching from Reno NV
Wow is it dry.
Extremely
To bad dougo sold the tree spade, would come in handy for putting in some good sized trees in yard.
Dougo has been watching LetsDig18 remove trees!!
If it was me with them cement pillars wouldn't you take all that free Field Rock hire Mason and let him go to town
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
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
stencil the concrete pillars, brick veneer. They do it in all kinds of stains and brick and stone finishes.
Sorry to hear Chet saying omg on the other channel. Taking Gods name in vain is not the way to behave.
Either wrap the columns in a board to make them look like timbers or in recycled barn tin.
Cover the pillars with stained cedar planks, create some color and texture contrast with the stone?
Amy, get your neon pink yard stick out and you can be the "POINT" woman. No doubt you can ramrod this crew. It will look great and be functional when you get done. Mr Doug will have you smiling lots when it is done.
i'd just wrap the pillars with the same stone you put on the rest of the house, don't paint them, it will just end up pealing and need to be repainted
horizontal cedar tongue and grove would match everything going on. thanks for this!
Was Dougo a good dancer in his prime cos he looks as though he likes shakin it all about.🙃
Typical Deer they need Thinning!
I think the perfect gift for Dougo is an Engcon tilt-rotator 👍🏻
That's it Amy tell Doug what to do put him to work😂 I'm anxious to c it when it is finished❤
Doug is pretty good at running that machine.
Way to go Ames, yard work is always a “work in progress”. Great attitude!!!
How come the Swede is helping rather than your own sons?
Great video Amy
maybe those pillars could be lined with some nice, stained cedar ?
Cover them with stone like the parapet wall on the upper deck
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.
Any project that size does take courage!
You tell them Amy❤
cedar shake on post or some sort of warm wood feature post to break up all the stone
Leave the pillars, it makes you house looks nice
? The no brainer is to cover the concrete posts with stone to match.
I think Dougo loves his little Tonka toy..
You gotta start with a clean slate. It will look better, keep the faith!!
Thank you, and you have a beautiful home
Wrap them with stone like your house
Have to always envision the progress
I love you guys y'all are amazing give anything to meet y'all from North Carolina saying hello y'all are awesome
Tell your son congratulations on his engagement been through so much and I'm going through the same thing much respect
It’s a shame y’all can’t grow good trees like fruit trees are pecans. It just gets to cold up there. I would love to live up there in the summer and come back home in La. for the winter!!😎🙋🏼♂️👍
Can grow apples, pears, plums, walnuts but they are nasty for when they drop the nuts.
Maybe put some old barn wood on them.
Very great video for the family farm and have a safe farm year from Rome ga
Dougo in his favorite piece of equipment
Àmy, not sure if I've missed a video, "Larson Farms." But what ever happened to Tobby, he's no longer in videos?
Toby is doing good. He has hip issues so doesn’t come to the farm as often.
@@amysblessings it's good to know that he's okay. Thank you...☺️
Rock the columns to match the rock there now
Very often it is necessary to destruct before you can construct 😊
wallpaper the pillars with $100 bills
