    As a 60 year old Christian Minister who became homeless for 7 years I learned some very valuable life lessons. Homeless people are no different than rich people. Some bad/some good. Same with police. Asking The Lord what to do is crucial. Informing the homeowner immediately...absolutely. When I was homeless living in my truck some homeless stole almost everything in it several times. I think you did the right thing. I am still unemployed, but working on CDL schooling now. When I am able I will attempt to hire people in need and help them with clothing, healthy foods/vitamins/minerals/supplements to give them that hand up. I will mow & clear junk, paint, etc. to keep them from getting fined by city which burdens them even more. God bless you brother.

      There’s a couple of guys that I know who are homeless. I’ve gotten to know them over the years. Tried to help them out so many times, but I can’t make them go to work every day. Unfortunately they choose to be homeless. Just yesterday one of the guys that I know came up to me and asked for money. No telling when the last time he had something good to eat. It’s sad because you want to help, but you can only do so much. Ultimately they have to decide for themselves that they will make different choices in order to get out of the cycle. That’s great of you to lend a hand and help out any way you can. I only wish they would take it one step further and help themselves. This guy that I saw yesterday has been homeless for probably the past 3-4 years that I know of anyway. Really nice guy, but faces challenges daily because of the choices he continues to make. I told him I would help out if he went in subway and got something to eat. Hopefully that made his day. 🙏. Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel. I’m praying in the name of Jesus that a job opens up and you’re able to help those in need by serving others as God provides for you. Thanks again for watching. That job is right around the corner. HE has a great plan for you in 2022. Keep me updated when you get that CDL and do what God is calling you to do. #GodProvides☝️

      @@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri something else came to mind... I keep hearing about people that were helped up out of their situation with a vehicle and some equipment. I am 60 years old I do not drink alcohol, do drugs, smoke cigarettes, or any such thing. I tell people you don't have to do those things anymore if you would let Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. Even though all these years I have served the Lord Jesus and now I am trying to do more than ever people are so burnt by other people that won't they tell me because of this situation or that situation with that kind of a person I stopped helping people. Another thing is they barely will give I'm talking about those that have plenty of money they could really help with a better vehicle and better equipment to get somebody that really intends to do right going. This is why I decided to try for this truck driving school and just go ahead and do it myself since I haven't found any brother or sister that will help me. I see both sides of the coin there are those that barely give thinking they're such a blessing but they're really afraid to give more than they think they can afford which is not faith. The other side of the coin is the guy that takes advantage of everything learning to scam people from spending time in prison with other scammers and learning all the tricks of their trade and that burns the bridge for some people to give.

I just stopped servicing a bad area in town where landlords learned the hard way of the bed to protect their property. Have you ever seen a 2x2 metal cage around the AC unit?

    One thing I love about my town. If a house is abandoned or the yard hadn't been up kept the town will step in and start mowing the yard. Then they will put a lien on the property take it over and sell it and give the new owners so much time to get the property up to code. I think that's better than someone just leaving it to rot down. The town don't do this to the elderly people. They can sign up to have help with upkeep of the yard.

    • @TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri
      @TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri  3 роки тому +1

      That’s a good idea. Here they send a notice (which she received) and have 10 days to clean up the property. If they don’t clean it up, they receive a hefty fine. If the fine isn’t paid they could potentially put a lien on the house. Always seems like ppl that don’t take care of their property always are troublesome to work with - like in this case...

Or pay to have it mowed. Or pay to have it cleaned up lol. They are just really hard to work with. They let it go for so long that it takes a lot of time/money to get it where it needs to be.

    The owner should call the cops and tell them what's going on and ask them to do a walk through in that house. Better yet send in the dogs that will get their attention. If it has become a know drug house that's bad for everybody around that house. You did the correct thing for sure. I feel sorry for the neighbors but also proud of that guy you talked to...sure hope he's packing when he confronts anybody coming or going from that abandoned house. GREAT JOB on that Ventrac one awesome machine.

    Does the county have code enforcement? If I reported an abandoned property with activity in it, the county would get involved, and bill the owner or lein the property. Overgrowth like that invites rodents into the area, along with the food chain that feeds on vermin. Some counties don't have the resources to be aggressive about it. In the end, the property owners need to step up. This sort of thing happens a lot with foreign investors. Sad.

    • @TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri
      @TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri  2 роки тому +1

    Me I would probably make sure to some extent there was noone in that basement. I'd yell in there "This door is being sealed shut so if anyone's in here come out now". I'd get a lock and a couple of 2x4's and seal the door shut to where noone is getting there. Not only would it help the homeowner but the neighborhood as well. Noone wants people like that in the neighborhood. Things would probably start to come up missing as the neighbor has already said that the homeowners copper piping has probably been stolen and Lord knows what else has been stolen inside that home.

      Yeah, she definitely needs to stay on top of the property better. It wouldn’t cost much to swing by every couple weeks and knock it down. But when you let it get this outta control, gonna be more wear and tear on equipment and more money to knock it down. Feel bad for the neighbors.

    Good job to clean up overgrowth. Fears about squatters not unreasonable but greater chance an abandoned house could be used by addicts or pushers. You have to look at the litter. When going through tall grass there could be discarded needles and they are a hazard. Owner should hire a property management company to clean & secure the house to be smart. Be safe.

That's just my opinion.
