  • Well I hope you enjoy, this was a brutal job but extremely satisfying seeing the end result. Stay tuned for us chemically treating it and possible resurfacing it next year! One more video planned before the year is over, it's going to be a crazy one.

    I hate to see you suffer, but I'm always impressed with your work ethic and the caliber of the "after". Merry Christmas, Sid, to you and your newly grown family!

    Great job!
    A little suggestion. Always position the wheelbarrow in the direction you are going before filling it up. Saves you some energy when you don't have to turn with it full.

    It is a typical Dutch model of snow scraper, it is called a “sneeuwschuiver”. I will have look for that particular model on the websites of our typical garden center, farm supply and DIY shops.

      It seems much more reinforced than snow shovels I’ve seen here in New England nowadays. I’d also pay the extra to get a snow shovel that will last 10+ years.

      Looks like an aluminium front edge with a formed plywood with a big steel or tin(?) plate with some big U-bolts and the handle is shaped to fit the scoop 😍

    This is one of those jobs where you know it will turn out amazing, but within the first 15 minutes, you question why you took this on in the first place. Amazing work as always! Happy holidays to you and your family, Sid!

      haha i was literally so overwhelmed - took about 10 minutes to scrape the first little section in the top corner and I did the maths in my head and thought oh no what have I done!! 3 days later we did it :D

    Holy moly Sid! What a cracking job, your back must be pretty sore after that. The difference was massive, can't wait to see it all finished. I do hope that the home owner wants the tennis court fully restored. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Wishing you good health and happiness in 2024.

  • @ccharlton8063

    As ever - sterling approach and delivery to a job that the tennis court experts wouldn’t even touch. That homeowner is one lucky person to now have the result on their land that previously was a thorough mess and almost un-rescuable. Long-term job as you say, but once done will be amazing - can’t help thinking once the ground is done how much that wall at the back needs a steam clean. With a new fence it could look stunning, but they’d need to get their AmEx out . . . Happy Christmas to you and the team and not forgetting your own family who do so much to support you with the relentless hours you put into your business and they don’t get to see you. They might say they see more of you online . . . .get some rest..

    You should get an air compressor kit for your car, if you don't already have one (replying to your comment about a flat wheelbarrow tyre). My dad's got one and it's incredibly easy to use. Just plug it into the tobacco lighter (if you have one) thing on the dash board and that's it. Costs like 25€ so maybe like 20 pounds? The price is the part which blew my mind the most, so cheap yet so useful.

    Tip: remove the front metal edge and with use they'll curve slightly to become more plough like. Plus they are a lot quieter

    Merry christmas and all the best for the new year to you and your family Sid, great video as always! I'd just like to say two points: 1- you were indeed correct that watching this would be entertaining for us your viewers 🤘 and 2- I whole heartedly had fullblown anxiety over the thought of listening to you scrape that entire tennis court but some how speeding it up made the sound somewhat soothing to hear, kudos for the fab editing skills. See you next year! ☃️🎄🎅
