  • Welcome back to the channel. First, I'm so glad you're here. This channel has been such a blessing and I'm honored to be doing this work. This weeks video I meet Betty. She has a very well kept house, but is neighbors with an abandoned mice infested house. Certainly a few close calls in this one - but all the hard work was defintely worth it. I was so pleased with how it came out.
    I've been asked so many times from all of you on how you can support the channel. So, I've added these links below. All donations go back into the channel to help more people in our communities. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support and love. But please NO PRESSURE. I'm just glad you're all here!

      @@dlebreton7888 Judging the neighbors for not helping is the same as judging the people for not maintaining their property. We don't know the whole situation. Maybe you or I would help, but maybe not. We just don't know what the dynamic is. I hope no one judges you the way you judge the neighbors.

      We moved into a neighborhood, at the corner edge of a cul-de-sac. Most everyone was quite nice and welcoming; however, I was warned about the “crazy cat lady” at the far end of the street. She had been a ‘collector’ of stray cats, resulting in animal control clearing out at least 21 cats just prior to us moving in. Her property appeared to be tidy, but as you got closer, it was clearly getting run down. Her husband had died 5 years before we arrived, and it was clear that he must have been the property caretaker. She began talking with me, as she noticed we had two young school-age children. She invited me for tea one day while the children were at school. Oh, my! Her house interior was an absolute treasure trove, stuffed with beautiful items, furniture, Persian rugs, etc. from their years of travel, beginning in WWII when he was a career Naval officer. She had an eye for true antiques and museum quality decor! Her house was amazing!
      She was nearing 90 years old, and a bit bitter that her husband was gone, she’d outlived her friends, her daughter & son-in-law were leaching off of her, she was allowed to only have 3 spayed cats on the premises, her hearing & eyesight was diminishing, AND her doctor demanded she use a cane for stability. Her driver’s license had just been revoked, because she’d been caught by a San Francisco police officer driving the wrong direction on a one-way street. She was sad, lonely, and rather scared, but was too proud to ask for help with her yard. Her mow-and-blow guys were always ripping her off, so she fired them. She constantly yelled at the neighbors for various imagined ‘threats’ to her existence, so nobody wanted to help her. I knew her daughter’s visiting ‘schedule’ and how long she’d be away from the house, so I began cleaning up the side yard clutter in 1 hour increments, slowly working my way to the front yard. I began gradually trimming the shrubs away from her sidewalk, providing a clear pathway to her front door. Next week, tree branches, followed by flower beds. Each time, I’d run our lawn mower over her grass, lowering the blade with each visit. It took two months of 1 hour ‘stealth gardening’ visits (often at night to remove the bins of trash I’d collected) to get her yard in shape. Only one of the six other neighbors noticed my visits/work, as the others were at their daily jobs. They just assumed she’d finally hired a top-notch gardening service. It certainly increased the value of everyone’s home on the street. Once my ‘work’ was done, I suggested she hire her adjacent neighbor’s gardener to help her maintain her yard. She actually thought he’d been doing it all along, with her daughter paying him!! I told her no, it was me, and I’d been fitting it in while doing my own yard renovation. She hired the guy after I talked with him regarding what was needed and his pricing. If he had questions or concerns, he could discuss it with me, and I’d relay the information to her. Her heart eventually gave out and she died a few years later. I met her son after she died and discovered she was nearly 100 years old. Sadly, her daughter cleared out the house, selling the treasure trove of 1800s-era antique American furniture, china, antiquities (I mean items that should belong in museums), heirlooms, etc. before giving her brother a chance to select anything for himself.
      It is now many years later, my husband and I are nearing retirement age, so we’ve built our dream retirement home about 900 miles from where we currently live. Since I’m no longer working, I’ve spent several months (3 to nearly 6 months each visit) over the past few years designing and having the original house rebuilt, as it’s in a historic designated district. The land and weather is challenging, so we spent two years working with a landscape designer and installer to address water needs, plants, land ‘sculpting’, etc. Our next door neighbor has turned out to be the Neighbor From Hell (NFH). His property is meticulously maintained. When we bought our property, it was an absolute DUMP. We had it cleared of all debris, including trash, a dumped cut-up spa, old pool material (which we later discovered had been a portion of NFH’s pool remodel!), and dead and decaying trees. Very antagonistic guy, especially when we discovered he was trying to ‘take’ about 1/4 of our 2 acre piece of land during our property survey. Nope, we put an end to that with a beautiful wall, wrought iron fence, and powered driveway gates. Front yard landscaping was finished, and it was featured in a fundraiser ‘yard tour’ this past fall, and the property is slated to be featured in a glossy print later this year. NFH has been caught on security cameras trimming his shrubs and trees and throwing his debris over the fence and into our yard! The city, the gas company, the roads & streets division, the USPS, the water company have all been contacted by NFH to report us ‘violating’ code, ordinances, set-backs, etc. He tried to prevent us from removing a tree on our property because the shade it cast on his property belonged to him. Could it be that he just hates us? Turns out that each of the nearby neighbors have had run-ins with NFH as he tries to control them - we’re just his newest ‘victims’ who refuse to be controlled by this former CEO of a large company. Retirement must be brutal to someone who is accustomed to ordering folks around. Thanks for listening/reading my long rant.

      Years ago I lived in a very rural area where people lived in half the house and had their livestock in the other half of the house. I sat on the couch in a flowing skirt I wore so I could ride a bike wherever I went. In talking to the people in the house I suddenly felt a “critter” climbing up the inside of my skirt 😳 and I put my hand on my leg to “trap” it, fully expecting, given where I was, that it was a rat. I tried to be a calm as possible (I am not a rodent fan!) and not cause alarm for the family I was visiting…and reached up under my skirt to pull out a small kitten!!!!! 😂I was so relieved it was not what I thought it was….your jumping as you found the mice reminded me of that story….Thanks for all you do, you did a great job on this whole property!!

    Another miracle added to your portfolio. You really find some doozies. That has it all: overgrown bushes, wild tangled trees, garbage galore plus mice…..you even power washed the grime away. You put so many other “clean yard folks” to shame. You really clean up AND dispose of all the trash/cuttings rather than just dumping in a corner of the lot. I think many of these folks maybe used to be good but are getting lazy in their efforts.
    You and Quick Cuts in Tasmania, M&D Lawncare in Houston, Fill in Oregon and Tim the Lawnmower Man and Blade Mate
    in Australia are the real DEAL!
    Many thanks and blessings to you and your family.

    You did a FANTASTIC job on this property! I love your enthusiasm for the job! Using a fire-pit on these jobs is genius, and it adds to the ambiance of the clean up. I loved that the neighbor stopped by to chat with you and encourage you. I realize we didn't see everything that went on at the property while you were working, but I am always amazed that the neighbors aren't coming over with water bottles and food for you while you work. You really went out of your way for the next door neighbor, so a big thank you for that.
