The homeowners who live here really needed some help with their overgrown yard. Both the mother and father are on a disability pension, unable to maintain their yard, and they just can't afford to pay anyone to clean it up! It was pretty obvious that they required help, and a yard like this is so difficult to transform, even for an ablebodied people. I knew the job was going to be hard, but I knocked on their door and offered to do the job for free. They were super happy for me to get it done, as you would expect. I ended up spending around 20 hours at this property and taking away 4 or 5 large box trailers of green waste and rubbish away. In this episode, there is everything from mowing, slashing (weed whacking), edging, pruning, rubbish removal and sweating, a lot of sweating! It really is a CRAZY transformation. Thanks for watching, see you on the next one.

Q: What happened to Brent?
A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of cans?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!
Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I'm not really sure to be honest, maybe something to do with space & maintenance, but either way, it really is poor heat efficiency!
Q: Why are you cutting so close to your employee!
A: I'm not cutting too close to my workers, they are standing too close to where I am working! All of my workers have been told numerous times about standing too close to the tools and about the hazards involved!
Q: Why do your workers do all the lifting and carrying?
A: Basically, they are employed to carry things and I pay them well, to do the job required.
Q: You work so well together, how do you do it?
A: That's the magic of editing. My workers are basically given instructions on what to do, I just edit it all out, so the videos look seamless!
Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.
Q: Why don't you have a rideon mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. Currently, I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k on a good ride on mower.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a rideon in there.
4. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering we always take the green waste away.
5. I will get one as soon as all of the above are solved.
