    After calling the city 5 times, the neighbors didn't know what to do. Luckily, one of their daughters is a big fan of my videos and saw a post I put out saying I was in the area. They sent me pictures and I immediately came the next day to help.

      Spencer, I love the work you do. I can appreciate the difficulty and that you may do it a certain way possibly to increase viewership. But I am firm believer in "work smart not hard". That being said, it really seems to me that making at least one pass with the mower before edging /shoveling would remove a lot of the debris making it easier to do the trim/edging/shoveling. Maybe, try it on the next monster yard. Best wishes.

      You need a big magnetic sign for your truck advertising your business and tube channel. It would save you hassle and promote your work. They are pretty cheap to get made since you have your logo design already. Magnetics are great cause they don't mess up the paint and you can remove them when you want to.

      We had a father/son live two doors down. When the father died, the son couldn’t stay b/c of the memories of his father’s illness and decline in that house. So he left it, never came back to check on it. I’d push through the back gate and rake it each spring and the neighbor on the other side would mow it. Kept it looking like everyone else’s yard, plain but neatly kept. Someone recently bought it at auction, and they’re working on it now. We’ve seen a light trailer filled with junk and the slider is now boarded up, guess a new ones coming. Can’t wait for him to clean up that wretched deck! ☀️

On something like this they let properties run down because they have lists of slumlords or whatever that they can call and dump properties on to get rid of. Maybe bad neighborhoods or they closed a office in the area so not in their loan zone anymore. I used to work with banks. There’s a side of all this that would make you sick.

I have to add…when my wife and I bought our house which is on a 1 acre lot, that is what the yard looked like. I had a riding mower with a 46 inch deck. It kept getting stuck. A neighbor about 1/4 mile up the road came to our assistance. They brought their ford tractor with a mower attachment and a brush hog from their farm to help us out. We wanted to pay them but they told us no, they were just thankful someone bought the house. It was vacant for 2 years.

      He spreads it back on the yard. Honestly, it would take a BIG mower just to cut through the clippings he leaves behind. That’s why these abandoned yards probably end up the same way as before. I’m not knocking Spencer. He did a quick fix on the front yard and got his video out of it. The neighbors will be grateful for a few weeks.

    • @SYDSbuilds
      @SYDSbuilds 2 місяці тому +4

      I do the same thing to my back yard, I take the cuttings that I have and spread them out in my back yard, a lot of people do it because there’s little seeds in the grass that will help grass grow back, and some just leave it on the property because that’s where it originally came from

    There is something very ZEN watching you clean up these lawns. I am very much enjoying watching you take the chaos and tame it. I see you refill that wheelbarrow with grass and limbs but where do you take it? It goes off camera so do you have a pile or do you put it back in the yard to mow over it? Keep up the great work!

  • @dschultz6361
    @dschultz6361 Місяць тому +4

    It’s so nice that you take on this kind of thing.
    In our neighborhood, if a neighbor near us is out of town or something is going on we help them. We will mow their lawn. Sometimes it’s just a nice day out and it’s no big deal to just do the neighbors too. I can’t believe the neighbors didn’t do anything. I personally wouldn’t let a house next to me get like this.

  • @lindasedgwick6380

    • @brianwebb9121
      @brianwebb9121 5 днів тому +1

      I agree with you 100%. That was only 75% complete. Neighbors can trim all of those sucker limbs still there on those front trees, rake up all of the grass and mow it again the proper way. That grass is not even close to being mowed all of the way. But as he stated it was just a start of the cleanup to make it somewhat presentable. Neighbors can be part of the solution as well.
