So people would better complain than help someone in need. The sad part is they prombly even know she was ill and just didn't want to help. God bless you for what you do.
So people would better complain.? Some people, would rather complain...ect. The other word, is probably. Not prombly. You were in need. Glad to help. :)
It just blows my mind that neighbors would do this to an elderly person who is in pain 😡😡. Thank you Mark for helping her 🙏🙏❤️❤️. All neighbors should be like you near or far away 🤩🤩🤩
I am watching from New Zealand .. we are on a back section and the young man in the front house will do things for us without us asking .. unfortunately he is selling his house and moving to Australia.. Hubby is 86 and i am 79 .. we are so grateful to have had him as a neighbour...
Code enforcer actually did something that was of benefit to a citizen. He must have hurt his head jumping to conclusions & has a concussion to betray his dept & help anyone.
Why the F is it the neighbors duty to take care of her yard? Sure, it's great if they help, but there is no obligation there. They have their own home, their own property, their own vehicles, their own lives to deal with, maybe they just can't deal with another property.
my neighbor spray painted her wood fence red,, while at the same time spraying my car red too blow by ,,, she did it ,,knew she did it and said nothing to me definition of vandalize to purposefully deface or destroy public and or private property To me it was deliberate i almost called the police to have her arrested she is sickly and frail and in bad health so i confronted her she got mad at ME i told her had i been the one that painted her car she would want big $$$ to repaint her car and pocket it (trailer trash ) i finally said IWBTA and cleaned up her paint on my car with buffing compound and a wax job cost me about $200 looks good my neighbor said she dont have any money so small claims or eat it i chose to eat it aholes are everywhere
Great job Mark thanks for being there to help her. Seeing the neighbors that complained couldn’t fix the fence themselves.😡 They will need help one day too. Thanks again.🥰
What a crappy thing for the neighbors to do, I am so glad you stopped by to help that lady, she doesn't need the added stress in her life with her health issues. Good for you Mark.
@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors I live in MI too and hubby and I are getting up there in age. Our son lives 2 hours away and our daughter lives here in town but we never see or hear from her unless she wants something. I am so thankful for people like you who help others.
I wonder if that neighbor is knocking that fence down? Bless you for your work. Code enforcement should be calling a local church for volunteers instead of threatening an elderly lady.
why do town/city officials bully the weak (elderly, disabled etc). all the @$$hole do is cause more stress on these people. yeah neighbors now a day are @$$holes as well. really you can't help an elderly person. great job helping her out again.
Thank you for your compassion in helping this sweet homeowner with her yard and fence. It's wonderful to see that she was spared from receiving a fine and that the heavy burden of the needed work was completed. You are truly a blessing to the community.
We have a elderly neighbor that is 103 years old. My son who is now 22 has been taking care of his yard since 2016 for free. I go down and do it for my son when he is deployed. I lost my 8 yr. old granddaughter on May 1st, 2024, from brain cancer. She always said love for others is all that matters in this life. She was right!
Great job Mark. I could tell the code enforcement officer was all bureaucratic saying he couldn't be on the property. That tells me he doesn't have compassion for helping people either and he was hesitant to help u. It's no wonder the neighbors called instead of helping. They have the same non compassion attitude. They would rather pick up a phone instead of of a section of fence to lend a helping hand. I swear people are fickle. But you Mark, are the epitome of compassion, caring and positivity that this world needs. God Bless you and your family.
@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors There are rules to what he can do, on the clock/in uniform. Should he be injured while helping you the city could refuse to cover his medical/days off. immediately thinking the worst of people can be non compassionate also.
For good reason. He is there on behalf of the government. He is not to be accessing property as per state, federal, and constitutional law. Your narrative is blinding you.
@@I_Am_Your_Problem with permission he is. wtf. You seem to be projective with that narrative line. This guy and the woman who lives there would have been happy for him to help. If the government can make life hard for people they better be willing to do what they can to make it easier. They are employed by the public. The entire area are their clients and while looking out for the interest of the neighbors he should look out for the interests of this woman as well.
All the leaves in her yard are from the neighbors trees... if the fence is falling in to her property its caused from the neglect of the neighbors overgrowth pushing on the fence, root growth ect. Pets, kids, hitting it with their mowers. Good job. Can't wait for part 2
@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors - Right, and instead of cutting off part of the fence, I would cut the root of the tree since it's encroaching in her yard and pushed the fence off. It won't hurt the tree by doing that, either.
what was that wooden post for, that you had to find? you're right about the neighbors, about the fence as well. i bet NONE of them even came out to thank you for fixing the fence and helping her out. i hope some of those disgraceful people see this video and put them to shame.
Thank you for what you have done so far! It looks great already! As far as the fence goes, If its her fence(That she had installed), Then the repairs fall on her. Thats the way the city would look at it! Keep up the good work Sir!
Thank you for helping this precious lady. I hope you do keep helping her while she heals. It seems like many neighborhoods and communities in America no longer help each other out. The meanness is sad to see. I think if you put a fence up it is your job to maintain.
What also happens is that older folks, especially those with medical issues, are often living on a very limited income, barely able to pay taxes, medical co- pays, utilities and groceries. Family may live far away, and they simply can no longer afford to hire helpers.
You are bighearted, Mark. I hope the owner has a good recovery. I am 70, and I have back and leg problems. Surgery is a daunting aspect for old people.
Mark you are so kind. I am sure this lady is deeply grateful. Aging. Everything expensive. No help. Health issues. You are an angel to her. Thank you for going above and beyond for her Looks great
Thank you for helping people in need and may God Bless you and Erik y’all are great people willing to help others in need.. government officials don’t care about anything except their jobs and that never is good… ❤❤❤you did an excellent job good for you getting the code enforcement officer to help you put the fence panel up!!! Yes, the neighbors do share responsibility but today they don’t care about anyone but themselves and that is the problem in our country and community’s.. again thank you for your help!!!
Thank you so much for helping this lady. Someone could have come over to see if she needed help at least to rake her leaves. Sad, because one of them may need help one day. I will be looking for part two. All my best to the homewoner. God bless you and your family, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank You for helping those who can’t help themselves ! May God Bless ! Usually a fence is a shared responsibility by both property owners. But I’ve known of one in particular that never shared in that responsibility. She let the other person do all the fence building & maintenance. We shared a property line, but was a hay field. There was a cedar tree that broke a huge limb out that lane on her field, I cleaned up the mess, hauled it to a brush pile on her property, but she got mad at me because I didn’t bring her the lumber. There was no lumber, what might have made lumber ( doubtful due to size of limb) was splintered so bad it was hard to chainsaw. Some people don’t want to share in cost.
You are a very kind man and thank you for helping this lady out so she want get fined. Looks like the neighbors would know she is having back trouble. That lets me know the neighbors do not come over to see her or check on her being elderly. Bless you for what you do helping others. Before making the call on the fence I would need to know If she had the fence put up or the neighbor.
Well depends whose property line it is on? And as the fence seems to have the ‘bad’ side facing into her yard I would think the other people put it up??
@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors true! Didn’t think of that - but she may not have been the original owner who put it up - still strange that the ‘wrong side’ would be on her side??
I grew up in the Grand Rapids area of Michigan. I left the state more than 30 years ago. Love the community I have living out in the country in Arkansas now days. People come to get her and help when ever it is needed just because they can and one never knows when they will need a helping hand themselves.

Thank you for what you do always going above and beyond😊 giving this poor lady some peace as she suffers pain in her back, stress only makes pain worse 😢
I am super glad you are taking the time to help others. I am so glad to see a good hearted person in Michigan. Since moving to Mi i have realized if you need help you have to ask 100 people to get one person to help. I found this rude and wrong but i am from the south where you help your neighbors and help take care of the young and elderly. I always help my neighbors if they ask something of me. Sometimes i do things just because it needs to be done, not because i was asked. Females work outside in south but usually a male will come help or take over outside work. One thing i notice where i live is that certain males gossip a lot but they never lift a finger to clean street of leaves and i end up cleaning in front of 6 houses (Referring to the street) and i am a disabled older female. I have not said a thing to anyone. I grew up if it needs to be done you do it. Of course i can't do it any day i have to wait for a good day where i am not in pain and can actually move around. I think about issues and figure a way to do it. My ways are laughed at a lot but they work. I really don't care if they laugh since they are to lazy to even help. I was called by some one who needed a favor while i was in the middle of a crisis. I let them know i was in a crisis and couldn't help at that moment. They figured i was like everyone else and was making up a reason to not help. But i am from the South.. After my crisis was over i called and let her know i could now focus on her and her family and we can come up with a plan so everything works out for her too. It really shocked her and i explained this is what we do in the deep south. We come together and put heads together and form a plan then act on it. Some times we need to call someone else to help the person completely. Between me and a friend we were able to make her emergency a non emergency. Once again i thank you from the bottom of my heart and hope you can continue to help those in need. We need more people like you. God Bless you and your family.
Mark your a good person it's very nice helping neighbors my neighbors work full time an after 1 of our hurricanes fence pieces came down an before they got home from work I screwed the panels backup an I'm the new guy on the block being here 1 year but that's how neighbors should be if your neighbors need help give it to them if there's an older person that can't cut there grass cut it for them but ask them first at my old house when I cut my grass I would cut at least 7 to 8 lawns because I had the time an most of the young couples have young kids an I would love to see them play an spend time with there kids which makes me happy to keep the neighborhood young an alive an I ask for nothing in return
Yes, those neighbors should help that lady with her fence especially if they know she has back issues. One day each one of them will need help and it won't be forthcoming. God bless you for helping her. Be safe!
Thank you for helping this lady - I remember you being there before, and it was clear she would need someone to help again - sad that they have the downside to the HOA mentality about being neighbours - I've never understood that, sadly it seems everyone is quick to judge and criticise these days maybe when they are less able to do for themselves, they will remember their lack of sympathy for this lady
Thank you for doing that job. I don’t know why the neighbor couldn’t have gone out and done that the fence is actually probably on shared property line and it’s just their responsibility as it is the other person. How sad.
God Bless you for helping her. Too bad the neighbors didn't help her. The world needs more people like you who help others for free. I watch a lot of videos of people who do this but this is the first one of yours I've seen. I subscribed so I can see part 2. I hope her surgery goes well and her neighbors will help her out. 🙏🙏
You are so right. We all need to step up and help our neighbors. So proud to subscribe to you. You are truly one of the good guys. God bless and keep you safe. Wishing you and your family apply holiday’s
I certainly applaud you for your effort. Maybe someone will donate the time to power wash that nice fence. People never think that one day they will be older and have medical issues as well and would love for someone to help them... Thumbs Up!
Awesome 😎 job, Mark, as usual. By watching your videos, G-Man has been paying it forward. Helped out wife’s elderly aunt put some handrails up back and front of house. G-Man leavin a Greg outdoors!! Hope you inspire others, Mark. God Bless🙏🙏
13:28 it actual Depends really. On where the Fence was Placed. Alot of people Don't actual Place the Fence Right on the Property Line. But roughly 3 to 6 inches into their Property instead of on the Property Line. and If they pay for the Fence Themselves too. It belongs to them Solely.
How long did that take you to put up those fences and how many neighbours are benefiting from them, and yet not one person helped knowing the lady is older, disgusting. ❤❤. Pauline. 🇬🇧
My yard is a hot mess and I can't anyone to help me clean it up. Not even my own family. I live in Ohio I have called places to get help but they charge way more than I can afford. Anyway you are a Blessing to so many. Keep doing what you do
6:30 I keep a supply of fiberglass driveway markers for use whene there is an issue, usually safety, with the lawn, such as a hole, stump, yellow jacket nest, etc., that cannot be immediately delt with. They can also be used to mark the edge of flower beds, well heads, etc., for when the snow comes.
Mark all of her neighbors know she's elderly lady why is only one neighbor helping her buy keeping her front yard cleaned up. God bless the homeowner and Family. God bless the neighbor and Family wh helps keeping her front yard cleaned up. God bless you Mark, God bless your Family.
Great job, you have a good heart. May the returns of your good deeds come back 10 fold when you need it. Why does it feel like some teenage broke into then out of that property by body slamming those fence panels?
In Australia if the facing boards are on the neighbours side of the fence then it falls to them to do basic maintenance and can ask for moderate shared costs.
I agree that as neighbors we all should take the time to inquire why someone isn’t keeping up with their yard or simple house maintenance before calling enforcement on them. You never know what is going on in their life. This homeowner, however, had a whole bunch of Walmart delivery boxes on her front porch that says to me that she can afford to hire someone to mow and edge her lawn. I have my 1/2 acre lot mowed by a service every two weeks for $40. A handy man doesn’t cost much to fix her fence either. I don’t know if she legitimately can’t afford to hire someone (which I doubt seeing all of those deliveries on her porch) or she just can’t manage her money effectively. Either way, erring on the side of goodwill is always the best policy and mowing an old lady’s lawn who is suffering from back problems is the best and kindest thing to do.
Surprised code enforcement helped you and didn't proceed in fining the lady. As much property taxes as we have to pay in America, there should be provisions to help people like this elderly lady with health issues. Big brother just salivates at the prospect of putting a lein on your property and then stealing it when you can't pay the fines. People like you are awesome!
@13:23 The neighbors should share some responsibility in maintaining the fence because they share the benefits of the fence. It's plain common sense and concern to each other's neighbors. Share some love as they say. And for sure they knew an injured person is living in that property.
We have thousands of young men and women fully capable of doing this sort of work who are on welfare, who need to be working for government money. This is so very wrong in so many ways. Of course the neighbors are responsible to help this lady. Shame on them for not doing it. Thank you for being a blessing to her.
Thanks for your hard work and kindness to others. Code enforcement: thanks for helping and the extension. Neighbors: Mark has shown you a good model. Code enforcement even extended a kindness. Let this be your season of positive change.
I noticed all of the fence panels were on her side? I suspect that at least some were on the other neighbors properties so at some point and that they tipped them over to her property; so they think "It's not on my property, not my problem." In reality everyone is 50/50 on fence maintenance (at least I think so from what I've heard from others with fences?).
So people would better complain than help someone in need. The sad part is they prombly even know she was ill and just didn't want to help. God bless you for what you do.
Agreed, thanks for the support
I agree they know and see she is struggling. Why don't they help? But wait they are also going to get old it passes nobody!
Fence work should be 50/50
@@sandracuthbert1217 They probably know and all they see is that they see an opportunity to purchase a property cheap and make a profit.

After my crisis was over i called and let her know i could now focus on her and her family and we can come up with a plan so everything works out for her too. It really shocked her and i explained this is what we do in the deep south. We come together and put heads together and form a plan then act on it. Some times we need to call someone else to help the person completely. Between me and a friend we were able to make her emergency a non emergency.
Once again i thank you from the bottom of my heart and hope you can continue to help those in need. We need more people like you. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you sir, you restored my hope in humanity. 💕
The world needs more people like you. ❤
Sorry, I forgot to a big thank you for an excellent and caring attitude from the UK 🇬🇧 😊
Mark your a good person it's very nice helping neighbors my neighbors work full time an after 1 of our hurricanes fence pieces came down an before they got home from work I screwed the panels backup an I'm the new guy on the block being here 1 year but that's how neighbors should be if your neighbors need help give it to them if there's an older person that can't cut there grass cut it for them but ask them first at my old house when I cut my grass I would cut at least 7 to 8 lawns because I had the time an most of the young couples have young kids an I would love to see them play an spend time with there kids which makes me happy to keep the neighborhood young an alive an I ask for nothing in return
I had open heart surgery in May, both my neighbours cut ny lawns for me, im so grateful to have them. From UK..
Yes, those neighbors should help that lady with her fence especially if they know she has back issues. One day each one of them will need help and it won't be forthcoming. God bless you for helping her. Be safe!
Good man. A few more people like you and we'd turn things around.
Thanks for helping the lady.
Thank you for helping this lady - I remember you being there before, and it was clear she would need someone to help again - sad that they have the downside to the HOA mentality about being neighbours - I've never understood that, sadly it seems everyone is quick to judge and criticise these days maybe when they are less able to do for themselves, they will remember their lack of sympathy for this lady
Great Job, Great Man ! Cheers.
I don't think the neighborly thing is a thing anymore. Wish I was wrong, but see it in my own area. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for helping her.NE WI.
Gods speed to you for helping this young lady I know about back problems
Have had 3 surgeries and still had to fuse it
Thank you for doing that job. I don’t know why the neighbor couldn’t have gone out and done that the fence is actually probably on shared property line and it’s just their responsibility as it is the other person. How sad.
God Bless you for helping her. Too bad the neighbors didn't help her. The world needs more people like you who help others for free. I watch a lot of videos of people who do this but this is the first one of yours I've seen. I subscribed so I can see part 2. I hope her surgery goes well and her neighbors will help her out. 🙏🙏
Way to go, you’re good man to help that woman out 👊👍
You are so right. We all need to step up and help our neighbors. So proud to subscribe to you. You are truly one of the good guys. God bless and keep you safe. Wishing you and your family apply holiday’s
So kind, Happy holidays to you too. Be sure to check out next Fridays video, will be a huge surprise to Edie
You the man!!! Blessing will find you Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well God Bless YOUI and the Code Enforcement for quickly helping you.
The guy really did not want to help, but you are so nice he felt he had to...
The neighbor's tree was also the reason some of the fence was down. Keep your trees trimmed if they are going over the property line.
Excellent work Mark Glad you are doing the right thing for the lady Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
It took me one Facebook posting and I got a huge response of neighbors to help me with a elderly man's yard problem.
Even if the fence is hers it would be a good neighbor to just put it back up if it joins your yard... especially since she is having health problems
That would be a great solution!
When neighbors get up in that age they'll realize what they did😮know what others can't do have to get help 😊
We will all be there someday..
@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors I'm already feeling it and I'm retired but still try to get it done no one helps
@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors Happy Thanksgiving Mark
I had the same thought about the fence belonging to all that share it!!
I certainly applaud you for your effort. Maybe someone will donate the time to power wash that nice fence. People never think that one day they will be older and have medical issues as well and would love for someone to help them... Thumbs Up!
Awesome 😎 job, Mark, as usual. By watching your videos, G-Man has been paying it forward. Helped out wife’s elderly aunt put some handrails up back and front of house. G-Man leavin a Greg outdoors!! Hope you inspire others, Mark. God Bless🙏🙏
13:28 it actual Depends really. On where the Fence was Placed. Alot of people Don't actual Place the Fence Right on the Property Line. But roughly 3 to 6 inches into their Property instead of on the Property Line. and If they pay for the Fence Themselves too. It belongs to them Solely.
I'm sure that yard is very nice after it's cleaned up but it's got to be a monumental headache for an elderly senior not in good health.
How long did that take you to put up those fences and how many neighbours are benefiting from them, and yet not one person helped knowing the lady is older, disgusting. ❤❤. Pauline. 🇬🇧
honestly Pauline, 15 minutes by myself, and you are right ... so sad.
Great job
Thanks for watching Clifford
My yard is a hot mess and I can't anyone to help me clean it up. Not even my own family. I live in Ohio I have called places to get help but they charge way more than I can afford. Anyway you are a Blessing to so many. Keep doing what you do
Michelle, PM me on FB. Let me know where you live in Ohio, lets see if we can figure something out.
6:30 I keep a supply of fiberglass driveway markers for use whene there is an issue, usually safety, with the lawn, such as a hole, stump, yellow jacket nest, etc., that cannot be immediately delt with. They can also be used to mark the edge of flower beds, well heads, etc., for when the snow comes.
Mark all of her neighbors know she's elderly lady why is only one neighbor helping her buy keeping her front yard cleaned up. God bless the homeowner and Family. God bless the neighbor and Family wh helps keeping her front yard cleaned up. God bless you Mark, God bless your Family.
Great job, you have a good heart. May the returns of your good deeds come back 10 fold when you need it.
Why does it feel like some teenage broke into then out of that property by body slamming those fence panels?
You're a good man, Mark!
Appreciate you
In Australia if the facing boards are on the neighbours side of the fence then it falls to them to do basic maintenance and can ask for moderate shared costs.
I agree that as neighbors we all should take the time to inquire why someone isn’t keeping up with their yard or simple house maintenance before calling enforcement on them. You never know what is going on in their life. This homeowner, however, had a whole bunch of Walmart delivery boxes on her front porch that says to me that she can afford to hire someone to mow and edge her lawn. I have my 1/2 acre lot mowed by a service every two weeks for $40. A handy man doesn’t cost much to fix her fence either. I don’t know if she legitimately can’t afford to hire someone (which I doubt seeing all of those deliveries on her porch) or she just can’t manage her money effectively. Either way, erring on the side of goodwill is always the best policy and mowing an old lady’s lawn who is suffering from back problems is the best and kindest thing to do.
Surprised code enforcement helped you and didn't proceed in fining the lady. As much property taxes as we have to pay in America, there should be provisions to help people like this elderly lady with health issues. Big brother just salivates at the prospect of putting a lein on your property and then stealing it when you can't pay the fines. People like you are awesome!
Beautiful job!
Thanks
If the fence is on your property its your fence and it makes you responsible for it. It's a shame neighbors don't care about their neighbors.
Wrong.
@13:23 The neighbors should share some responsibility in maintaining the fence because they share the benefits of the fence. It's plain common sense and concern to each other's neighbors. Share some love as they say. And for sure they knew an injured person is living in that property.
She can barely walk, they must know..
Thankyou ❤❤❤
Looks good Mark
Thanks
It depends on who put the fence up and on whos property it is on.
I would guess hers since it goes around the entire property
Great job Mark🤩
Responsibility is determined by whose property it is on. Usually a fence is fully with in a property line though sometimes it is right on the boundary
We have thousands of young men and women fully capable of doing this sort of work who are on welfare, who need to be working for government money. This is so very wrong in so many ways. Of course the neighbors are responsible to help this lady. Shame on them for not doing it. Thank you for being a blessing to her.
People don't neighbor like long ago
maybe even the jail work crew,,,
Thanks for your hard work and kindness to others. Code enforcement: thanks for helping and the extension. Neighbors: Mark has shown you a good model. Code enforcement even extended a kindness. Let this be your season of positive change.
Well said, thank you
They share responsibility for the fence and the leaves in her yard. People seem to forget that one day they too will be elderly!
we will all be there some day
I noticed all of the fence panels were on her side? I suspect that at least some were on the other neighbors properties so at some point and that they tipped them over to her property; so they think "It's not on my property, not my problem." In reality everyone is 50/50 on fence maintenance (at least I think so from what I've heard from others with fences?).
I asked that same question about who is responsible for the fence!
what a great person you are praying 10 fold come back to you sir
