  • On this episode, the adventure begins when I randomly chose a house in my area and knocked on their door, armed with a vision to transform their outdoor space for FREE and maybe make their life a little easier. Little did they know, their overgrown, neglected front yard was about to undergo a crazy makeover that would leave them delighted. Not only do random people get some help, but you guys also get some great entertainment. I spent around 7 hours on this job, with just over one trip to the landfill.
    Thanks to Dave from Jim's Mowing Glenorchy for recommending this property for a cleanup! Good onya cobber 🍻

    _______________________________________________
    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 self-propelled mowers.
    Q: How much do the jobs cost?
    A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
    Q: What happened to Nick?
    A: Nick was offered a full-time position at his other job as a Political admin.
    Q: What happened to Brent?
    A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.
    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 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 ride-on 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 ride-on 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.
    Q: What happened to your workers?
    A: Because the work is so hard and I expect high standards, most have quit over time. The only exception so far is Nick.
    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.

    Quite a transformation for this homeowner; thanks for helping them. Also, the neighbors must be very pleased as the whole cul-de-sac looked well groomed. The birch tree looks so much better and stands out in this neighborhood. All the house needs now is a few shrubs along that tall brick wall. Did I understand that you are also going to do their backyard? The view must be terrific from back there. Blessing for all you do.

      Agree on the desperate need for landscaping with shrubs along the front of the house and also some soft plants along the drive. At least some bark to help it look less desolate.

    What a beautiful change. I bet the sheep cutter was their attempt to work in their yard

    Awesome job as always! You are the only guy I've seen on Utube who takes the extra time to carefully clean grass and weeds that have grown up inside and around other existing plants!
