I was driving around looking for a property to clean up for free. I was looking for one that was in terrible shape, a complete disaster, and when I saw this one I thought to myself this is perfect, my viewers will love this! I knocked on the door and nobody was home, huh. So I went back a few days later and tried again. Luckily, this time the owner was home. When I offered to cleanup her yard for free, the homeowner was surprised and a little reluctant at first. Then I promised that it would all be free and I would do an excellent job. After my reassurance, she agreed to let me go ahead. I will also be doing the back section on this one, but that will be on another episode. All up, I spent around 13 hours on the front and went to the landfill 3 times. This is part 1 of 2.
Part 02: To be completed.

FAQ's:
Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia .
Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.
Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda selfpropelled mowers.
Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
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 would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here ♂
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. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a rideon on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.
Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.
Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.
