Personally I think the home owner broke the glass in the door and blamed Al! With cars in the driveway right infront of the door how could have he broke it!
How much was that door? I'd like to help with the cost if needed. Just unbelievable. I hope your video proves you didn't do it. Lazy people could have helped you
I don't understand why people can't even get their stuff out of the way and help a bit. If somebody knocks on my door and do a free lawn makeover, i would do everything to make the life easier for him and would move my stuff out of the way. Thanks for your work Al, you are awesome!!
All, you are an Angel in disguise. Thank you for all that you do for others. I do not think that you broke that door. That man is so ungrateful. Be sure to check your video very carefully to see if that door was broken by you. Don't allow anyone change you from the person you are. God will reward you. ❤❤
Same all videos thing buried in grass were they tossed out of a window?? Never see them move care out of the way take things away they are lazy dirty people so many with lame excuses often for condition of property.
The Bible says don’t cast your pearls before swine! Their are so many folks that would truly appreciate you and the beautiful gift that you bless them with!
Victory Outdoor Services wears a go pro on his hat. Maybe it would be a good investment for you in terms of seeing things in your viewing working area if blamed. (Door was already broke you can see it when you pan in). Also helping to capture extra footage to post? Thank you for being so kind by mowing and paying for the door.
Have you ever thought of doing a "where are they now" episode? Revisit previous jobs and see how many yards have been kept up or let down. The work you do is uplifting and it would be great to see your long term success rate.
i was just thinking that too , scrolling down comments hoping that guy got bit of flack for his lack of gratitude, would be great to see it overgrown again etc
It is always interesting how many vehicles are parked out front while you are single handedly fixing their yards.....and no one comes out to move their crap for you. God bless you!
With maybe an exception or two, the only ones that offer are those that are elderly or physically handicapped. But the universe always comes around to make things even.
Awesome yard transformation for FREE, NO citation to pay, and a NEW door for FREE. I would have been embarrassed to ask someone who just saved me a lot of time and citation to pay for a door. You are awesome Al!!
I dont understand why everyone's kinda irritated about the guy mentioning that he broke the door. He did break the door. The resident didn't ask for him to give him free yard maintenance. An expected hazard is that maybe rocks fly and some glass gets broken. He did break the glass on the door. It's unfortunate but still. Plus, the resident even said, eh it's just the glass that needs replacing. I mean, yeah maybe they guy didn't show over the top in your face gratitude for the job well done, but, eh, it is what it is. Doesn't make humans less grateful. Guy probably already has a million other problems and things to worry about.
@@mandat201 im so confused about it as well, regardless of the free lawn care, he still broke something, and he initially offered to pay for the lawn to be done at the start, but either way, he broke something when mowing, so you fix it
Al you are a man of integrity and class ! God will bless you throughout your lifetime for always giving and never expecting anything in return. Sending blessings to you and your family from Houston, Texas.
Love you man..... One thing that really amazes me, is that so many people have broken lawn mowers, but not even one person has ever said.."hey, let me change clothes and I'll come out and give you a hand".....lol Thank you for your generosity
I was thinking this a lot as well. I couldn't imagen not helping a hand or offeringen a drink or something to eat. Like how can you just go back inside and do nothing? Except for the sick/disabled people of course.
I saw that happen only twice in the years Al has been doing this. Nice old vet who had been in his home for 40 years. Showed Al his collections and stuff. It was cool. But take into consideration that most people physically or mentally (like agoraphobia) can't do the work. 😎👍
@@ldqa2737 I spent my entire career working in the Affordable Housing Industry. We often experienced these kinds of reactions from folks we were helping. I will say this; most people are embarrassed that they need help. They’ve grown up being taught that Americans should be able to provide for themselves. So when they find themselves between a rock and a hard place it’s tough to just be open and accepting of other’s help. Staying/going back inside is the least stressful reaction. Now, of course there are always exceptions; but I would give the Residents the benefit of the doubt. After all isn’t the important thing here that human beings are helping each other out and not that proper acknowledgement should be shown by the recipient? Let’s just keep things in the spirit in which it was offered! I’m so very glad of those who offer the help and just wish that our society didn’t leave people behind quite so often.
Well said, whammond. It's about spreading kindness and helping people out. And who knows, it might get them thinking and passing some kindness on to the next guy. Kindness is a reward in itself 😊
Al, reminds me of “No good deed goes unpunished” You are a man of integrity and I just sent you $10 towards the door. Not much but I hope enough do the same to cover your cost. Oh. The transformation was amazing. Well done.
This man still works for people that sometimes don't appreciate or acknowledge his kindness. THAT'S what makes AL a awesome human being. God bless you Al and family.👏👏👏🙏👍
I'd argue its good content to be a good human and those dont have to be mutually exclusive. He finds joy and money and people benefit. Not saying true altruism isnt done with noone watching, but just that he's not inherently selfish for making a profit from giving. Also, isnt everything even true altruism, self serving to a degree?@fartpooboxohyeah8611
@fartpooboxohyeah8611 What a terrible thing to say. I understand the concept of what you're saying. You do a favor for someone and that's all it is...a favor. But when your life has become one continuous favor for so many people it deserves recognition. And if likes bring them a monetary value then so be it. Would you be willing to do the hard work that they do for free and not even want a thank you? You're looking for recognition just by posting your comment. And I'm giving it to you. You're welcome! 😉
going by your profile picture unless you are an imposter of some sort 3 reply’s from all f/ males who also admitted they too giggled- is this evidence ? 🧐
If these people don't appreciate you trust me the neighbors surely do!!! You are such a gentle soul and always handle yourself with grace and class!!! Keep shining... you give us hope in the humanity of just plain ol good people in this world!! From the bottom of my heart.... thank you!!!
what I don't understand is how to express people's gratitude. You moved their house and they act like you didn't do anything. They don't even leave their homes to check out the final result. Americans need to value the simple things in life more. If it were here in Brazil, people would be eternally grateful for your services, they would give you lunch, they would look at everything you did in the smallest detail. congratulations my friend
Honestly, Floridians are not known for being friendly or hospitable..we're a very selfish, overly prideful and narcissistic state unfortunately. Look at our governor, he's exactly that and then some. It's truly sad.
And i would make them sign a waiver..because its there yard thats not maintained..just re: property damage ..just in case..nit that u try to do things just a protection
Al, it's a shame that guy let you buy a new door, even if you did crack it, it was his rock. It's his sloppy yard. You're the one who will blessed. Do what's right and God will balance the books. Love you, and love to all
In fairness to the homeowner if he had $ he could have taken of his lawn himself - to end up with the bill for a new door (they are expensive) it would be more than paying someone to cut his grass.
Another transformation completed Al a job well done bad luck about the door but very generous gesture to replace at your expense very lucky resident but I’m sure you will receive compensation many times over for your work. My days complete - Well done and looking forward to day 6 😊
The thing is, like Al said, probably a rock from the string trimmer. He's a stand up guy, didn't try to get out of it but instead just took care of the issue. I've seen SB do that a couple of times. Same thing, a stand up guy, won't try to shrug off the responsibility...just owns up to it and addresses it without drama. We need more guys like them!
That guy is a renter.. He mentions his landlord. Landlords rocks... Lol But overall.. Al was cordial..things happen and he replaced it. Id rented a home years ago before buying mine and we had to cut the yard...he took care of all the inside...and he supplied the mower!! All I did was put gas in it.
I was totally blown away that you not only did the yards for free but then you replaced the door. I've seen similar things happen around here and the worker/company refuses to fix any damage they do. You're an amazing person Al.
I was more worried about damage to the three nice looking cars, was NOT expecting the door damage. I wouldn't be surprised if this lazy renter comes after him later for dings or chips. I do not miss being a landlord, what a dump this guy let it become.
@@DeepDownInTheOceancan't tell the exact timing because of his editing. It looked intact when he knocked then all the sudden its shattered when he has the door open. You can see the time jump there.
It broke my heart to see that you had to buy a new door after your labor of love to mow that overgrown lawn. I know the lord will continue to increase you in hundredfolds. You are such such a man of great character.Keep on spreading your positivity . Love love what you do😘😘
Yeah, holy crap if someone did all that work for me and I found my door was broken I would be standing in front of that thing so he can't see it so he doesn't friggin replace the door on top of everything. That's just embarrassing.
So so sorry about the door. I know accidents happen but I hate that it happened to you. You’re a good, honest hard working man, Al. Blessings on you, your business and your family. 🙏🏼💕
that is the problem... no matter how free the stuff is people are not very accommodating when something is damaged... that's why a lot of people avoid doing free stuff whether its food or what
24:37 I know this is an older video but in case you've never solved the mystery, these are Jadera bugs. They are actually beneficial bugs, they eat seeds of the Chinaberry and Goldenrain trees and are perfectly harmless. They don't hurt the plants nor Humans, in fact they kind of do us a favor by eating seeds that won't fall to the ground to sprout seedling trees!
They looked like assassin beetles to me.. I could be wrong but around here all the assassin beetles are very red like that with dark black heads and abdomens
You know it’s REALLY sad when the dad can’t even come out to clean up the crap out of his own yard!!! That shouldn’t even have been an issue for you to clean up. Thank you soo much for your kindness and generosity!!! May the Good Lord bless you and all you do!!
Exactly. He could have come out for even ten minutes and moved some of the random crap that was all around the house and in the way. You're pure gold Son. The world would be a much better place if there were more folks like you living in it. Love the sexy beast with no shirt on that answered the door🤮
I had a similar experience when I was doing landscaping back in the 90s. I went to a home to plant a single Yew bush, and before I could even get started, I had to shovel about 100 dog bombs out of the lawn. The dog and the kids were running around the whole time. Nobody helped. Nobody talked to me. Nobody acknowledged me, and nobody thanked me. And they didn't even pay me for doing it. But I have too much respect for dogs to let them live like that. Not the dogs fault.
@@MrHuismeester My friend owns a rental property in my neighborhood that came with a brand new mower when he bought the house. The current renters have never used the new mower🤷♂️
Wow no good deed goes unpunished. You did an amazing job and I do think if it had been me I would have paid for the new door myself since he would had to pay someone to cut the grass anyway. You are such a good man Al!
@@FBI1591- There was nothing wrong with what the renter said. Had he not seen the broken door until after Al left, how could the broken door be the fault of anyone outside of the renter and his family? The renter also thanked Al several times for the yard transformation and the door. What more could he say or do to show his gratitude?
@@FBI1591 I think I did hear glass break when he was doing those bricks by the door. That broke my heart he had to pay for it, but Al is the Man & very nice person!
Same man I would be walking around looking this guy was like ok cool I wish he would do episodes of driving back by these places in a few months and seeing if they kept up with it
Only grateful people seem to be the elderly or disabled. If I wasn't handicapped, I'd be mowing because I enjoy it and it's good exercise. Been mowing since I was a kid and my Dad taught me good. I'm very particular. Great job, Al!
Piece of advice. Contact the local church or other organization and see if they can give you the name of someone who is legitly in need. Just because someone's yard is overgrown, doesnt mean they are in need....Some of them are just ungrateful and lazy.
I have been a single mom for years and would be so grateful if someone came and helped me. And you can be sure I’d be driving down to the nearest Tim Horton’s for drinks and donuts, even if I had to return bottles to the bottle depot to do so.
Hey Al I just had an idea! You know how in some videos people get upset when you mow or cut down a plant that they love and want to keep? What if you asked them at point of contact to put up some tall flags right at that plant so you can see it, know it's there, and trim around it? Sometimes special plants get lost in all the tall growth and you can't see them. Just an idea to help you avoid that issue. If they did a walk through with you and you placed those markers on or near the plants they love it would help out a lot IMO. Love your work. God bless you!
Most of them I see cut down are,hostes, different grass plants almost any out door plant if it gets cut down its good to cut down any way it will come back-up better then ever
i really get frustrated when you try help someone and it backfires. You deserve a break and dont challenge yourself to help someone that isnt helping themself!
Amazing, Al!! Again, it would be REALLY nice if the homeowner helped pick up & move things in the yard first. And give my regards to The Beast, as well. Always have loved that green/purple paint job!
@@sharynsherwood4652 I agree. Why people do not at the least move their cars is beyond me. If I was getting a free yard maintenance I would put in some effort to help out if I was physically possible.Great job Al.
@@daryldettmer9160 He found that out so why not go out buy another if you take any pride in your property. He said the lawn mower was broken, apparently both his arms were to the junk lying around including the old mower had not been moved in a long time. That was a lovely property it just needed some tender loving care. I live alone I have to huge property's to care for, the one where I live on the lake, one across the road from where I live. I now both property's with a push lawn mower. I have been thinking of getting a ride on or something like he has, I need this winter to get more information on them, as it is all new to me. I can understand a person getting their lawn done by someone else if they are unable to do it their self, when it comes to being lazy, that is a different story. There are many women like myself living on their own doing everything, when I say everything I mean it. I think in many cases today men, women, each are getting soft, lazy, they wonder why their health is effected, we need exercise, fresh air in order to remain healthy.
@@incredibleshrinkingfungus1731 Yes, there are plenty of humps like this guy down here in Florida. They take advantage of the ones who have a good morals and a compassionate heart.
You are a good person Al and it makes me angry when I see good people taken advantage of. I could tell by the video that the glass was fatigued and ready to shatter from the heat just by how it broke. You have a gentle heart Al, as soon as I saw the guy come to the door, I would have walked away. I just saw trouble brewing. Dealing with customers all my working life, you learn who to avoid. Get some rest, all your subscribers are pulling for you.
AL, you handled this accident in the way you handle everything. With class my friend. Yelling and shouting never accomplishes anything. You are the blessing in this video. All the garbage and property cleaned up and looks amazing. Love and light to you, you are one special young man. Sylvia Canada 🇨🇦
The guy who lives here is just lazy. I saw 3 vehicles out front,so if they can afford to run them,they can afford a garden clean up. Lazy and mean. Al is a class act and a star human being.⭐
No good deed goes unpunished. The tenant wasn’t terrible, but didn’t seem to have the funds to replace the door. Al you are a man of high character. You love on the unlovable. Be safe!
Today’s challenge for you was to remain humble and kind and generous despite the broken door and You passed with flying colors! Bless you Al , keep moving forward .
Yes Carrie much blessing it’s a challenge to plz everyone even when it’s free keep moving Al and company sorry that the was accidentally broken the door he could have said I will take care of the door. Continue doing what you’re the almighty God will bless you each day you go out there to help a stranger.
I feel like he was ungrateful. If that was my door I would have paid for a new door myself and be grateful for you doing my yard, especially if I had a fine coming. God bless you sir.
Your fault or not...tenant should have paid for the door. In the beginning he was real quick to admit that you were saving him from a huge fine...but oh well. AB you are a blessing bro, keep up the good work.
That’s too bad about the door! But you are the best for stepping up and helping with that too. Bet the door was damaged/aged before you started. You’re a good man with great friends! Nice job on this challenge!
Everyone already addressed the door, so I'll add this. The red and black bugs are called Jadera bugs. They're harmless and non-destructive. They eat the seeds of certain trees called Chinaberry and Goldenrain trees. They prevent tons of seedlings from growing up around the tree and taking over the area.
@@teribelleau137 Yes, yt takes 30 %, as if they don't earn enough. Al maybe has any other way, maybe paypal or something similar.. 🤔 I am not familiar with it.. There is buymecoffe as well, but I am not sure about fees on those...Al could put in comments any other way HE prefers to support him.. Blessings 🙏🌟🕊️
The state of how he kept his property says much about is character, how you stood up and replaced his door says much about yours. Interesting to see the contrast and inspiring as well.
@@barbaramclean670 So I'll come over to your place, knock on your door while you're reading, ask if I can mow your lawn, maybe break the windshield in your car with a stone I knocked of your driveway with my blower, then you can shut your mouth and pay for it while I ride off and make money off the video. Got it.
Thumbs up to the video because you're one of the most humble sincere, kindest men in the world! Your family must be so proud of you!!! I hope that boys and young men watch your channel to see how respectful and kind you are.
I'm a 57 yr old woman caring for my mom which is 88 and she has Alzheimer's now I still do her yard and it's huge , it's really hard for me at times but I love her end result all you do a great job everywhere you go . Thank you . God Bless you greatly and multiply every ounce of energy and all you put into helping others . God bless everyone who reads this .
Lol, you people are messed up. Do you really think Al is doing this for free? He has 1 million subs. He gets 20k each month for doing these lawns for "free". If there was no lawns to do for free this guy wouldn't get paid by youtube. I wonder if there is a million subs on here thinking the same,,,its laughable. Get back to work. God bless him,,,,lol.
It really upsets me when you go out of your way to help people, and they can't turn a cracked window in on their homeowners. I guess it takes all kinds. Another nice job. Here is another case where he could have cleaned up a little, especially the mess in the back
The bugs are called Jadera, also “scentless plant bugs”. Apparently they’re harmless and quite common in Florida. On another note … Day 6!!! You’re gonna do it!! Great job on this one, Al! 😊
@@frostyfoot Yes, they are Boxelder Beetles! They consume decaying organic material and are very beneficial. In cold weather they will congregate in cracks and crevices around your house trying to stay warm.
Its truly inspiring watching ur work ethic and willingness to help out people u don’t even know. Ur spending ur resources during a very difficult economy and still don’t ask for a penny in return, seriously awesome ❤️
@@kennethhurlbutt802 he told a landlord that everything he makes off wat we see is all donated towards a medical situation with a family member. I believe the landlord paid him for that yard but he naturally does it for free, he explained his financial purpose with his RUclips content
@@icanfartloud oh ok, I know before he did the 7 days straight of free yards he only did it once a week so I thought maybe he did it for a living and just decided to make it into a RUclips channel once a week
Accidents happen don’t beat yourself up over it. Your doing a good deed for this family.I’ve looked forward everyday to see what you have accomplished.
Al, I suspect you didn't do any damage to that door. I have looked at the video several times and could not see where you did anything to that door. I suspect you don't think you were responsible either, so I am impressed that you told him you would replace it for him.
Yeah considering there appears to be another door or window boarded up, easy to assume the door glass too was already shattered, can't really see at the beginning if it was already broken
Glass is very weird. Me and my friend were barley tossing bb sized rocks at some paper cups while sitting down. There was a commercial glass door behind me and a few of my friends tiny pebbles bounced off the ground first then ricocheted and hit the glass. The last one that hit the door barley nicked it at the bottom corner and then it started to shatter all the way up the door. It barley got hit we were barley tossing the bb sized rocks sitting down hardley any inertia at all if any
I'm just blown away by all this. If someone did that much yard work for me for free then I wouldn't care in the least about the broken door glass. I'd happily pay for that on my own and you'd still be on my Christmas list for life.
If he doesn't have enough money to fix his lawnmower, how could you expect him to have enough for a brand ne door. A stranger comes by saying he will mow your grass for free and then brakes your property.
The comment justifying this action is why people don’t help people anymore! He is a young man and CAN save a few dollars or work another shift, literally, to fix his lawnmower..he chooses not to then wants to play “poor me” because his lazy butt just won’t take care of his own house. I’m sure if he opened that door, a cracked window would be the least of his problems!
@@joshuadickey7221 from the looks of his back yard, I'd say he's just too lazy to fix it (trash all over not put away). He never said he couldn't get a battery, he just never found the right one.....
True, that glass could have been replaced. And who lets their yard get that bad with 3 or 4 New Vehicles in the driveway? so many questions after the man accepted that new door. He didnt seem grateful for a free yard make over either. Oh well, I should shut up.
I want to know how a simple knock on the door resulted in a shattered glass situation. Is it possible that it was already broken and because Al didn't mention it, this guy used him to get a free door.? Just a thought. I watched this entire video, and I didn't see any point in it that showed when it got broken. I love your work Al. I love your big heart. But I have seen too much to believe anything but the old mantra that "no good deed goes unpunished".
@@gerryayotte7724 When he was using the weed wacker it probably kicked up a rock and broke his door glass. It happened to me a couple of years back to my door and I noticed it after I was using the weed wacker. I could see were the glass had an impacted the glass and wad radiating outwards. The glasss was double pane vacuum sealed and its easier to just replace the door that try to find and replace the correct glass panels. 😒
hey Al . Hope you were able to get the new door at cost or Chucky was able to help install for free . Not only a free lawn make over but a beautiful new door . True sign of a good heart is when something goes wrong & you are still able to keep a humble spirit . Best . Mark (Toronto) 💙
Do any of these people offer you a cold drink, at least? I love watching your videos, especially, the reveal. You are such a giving person. I wish you all the best life can give.
WOW!!!!!! you are way too kind!!!!!! That guy didn't appreciate it at all...or he wouldn't have even mentioned the door after ALL you did and money you saved him.....wow.....you are definitely a BLESSING
So he has a mower, he makes you pay for his door, he has trash all over. He sure looked like he was capable to do for himself. By accepting the offer of free help he deprived someone who was really in need. You have a heart of gold Al.
Nobody forced him to pay for the door, he offered to pay for it first. And rightfully so, you better take responsibility for damaging someone's property
@@ephraimkaravan Not rightfully so. Don't accept free charity then complain when things accidentally happen. The free lawn care (how much would that have cost?) + the inevitable incoming fines from the city would've been more expensive than fixing a door. Beggars can't be choosers.
@@jasras5003 I don't know what third-world country you live in, but there is no such thing as being exempt from liability just because you are performing a service free of charge. Not unless you have a signed document stating clearly that you aren't liable for damages that may be caused. Al broke a door and he took responsibility for it, knowing that he himself is the one who caused the damage. With your logic, I can go around my neighborhood mowing people's lawns and getting away with property damage simply because I am not charging any money for the service. Guess who would win that case in court.

This is why you're admired by so many AL. You displayed the most amazing act of kindness to receive no real gratitude, instead it ended up costing you, for thinking of other's. It's acts like this that shows that human kindness is still very present, even when the odds low ❤
Dang Al, you did such a great job on this property. You would think the man would have renters insurance to cover stuff like that. Are you sure something you did broke the door? I went back and didn't see where it happened. You saved this dude more than the cost of the door I'm sure on possible fines. Some folks will always bite the hand that feeds them. You are the best. Love to you and your family.💖💖
Your bleeps were funny. You do great work and I hate you had an accident and had to replace the door. I'm glad you had help. You work so hard if you can't do seven yards six is fine. Your getting tired and that is when bad things happen. God's peace 🙏

You are so close number 7 tomorrow. I am sure you will make it. You do such a great job and pay for shattering his front door. I am so glad there are people like you in this world. God Bless you
Great great job! My husband and I are hooked watching you. We noticed that, no one comes outside to bring water , lunch. That’s what we do when someone is doing a job inside or outside.
Yes, I at least tip, offer cold drinks, go get pizza and insist they eat some. These people live like this for a reason. They are often not mentally well, which is why they are usually poor.
You're such a good soul!! I agree the people you help could come out & assist you by moving junk etc.; help in the cleanup. Offer drinks or snack. We appreciate All you do for others!!
Nice job dude, even though you didn’t get the compliments and appreciation you deserved on this job. Hopefully youtube covers these expenses💯 Great job🙏🏼👍🏽
When Al knocks on the door at 1:35 you can see the glass panel is intact initially, although when it's opened and the sun shimmers across the surface there does appear to be some inconsistancy with the reflection. This would suggest that there may have been a pre-existing issue with the structural integrity of the glass. When Al knocks, the sun shimmer warps which should not happen with sound material. When the door opens, the centre of where this warp appears there is a small white mark on the glass, possibly from an impact, but evidently not damaging enough to have caused the integrity to actually fail. Much later one, at around 20:07 when Al is thrashing the weed-infested cobblestone pathing; if you listen carefully there's a quiet sound like something hitting a window. This is right near where the door is, judging from the camera position - in front of the plant-pots that are lined up along the doorstep. Al would not have been able to hear over the noise of the machine, but the camera mic does picks it up given it's closer proximity. Chances are this is where some debris kicked up and hit the glass panel on the door, enough to cause a fracture in the already weakened glass panel. At 39:14 Al knocks on the door again, and the white mark is much more noticable (and larger) than previously. Whether whatever debris that was kicked up hit the exact same spot or not, the impact was clearly enough to cause this pre-existing issue further damage. At 39:35 when the door is being closed after the conversation, the glass panel finally gives way shattering into itself.
Great transformation Al. I'm sorry for broken door. Accidents happen but they are always harder to deal with when it's the 'end' of the day and you are tired. I'm glad you were able to replace it the same day.
Well Al, number 6 is in the books, even with a little problem (the door), just an idea, as you're going around a house/structure, take pictures of the house/windows/doors so you have pictorial/video evidence that you didn't bust/break anything, better safe than sorry
What an incredible person you are! We need more people like you in this world! God Bless you! I’m a single mom and live by college students.. never once have been helped with shoveling or mowing.

Personally I think the home owner broke the glass in the door and blamed Al! With cars in the driveway right infront of the door how could have he broke it!

All, you are an Angel in disguise. Thank you for all that you do for others. I do not think that you broke that door. That man is so ungrateful. Be sure to check your video very carefully to see if that door was broken by you. Don't allow anyone change you from the person you are. God will reward you. ❤❤
Same all videos thing buried in grass were they tossed out of a window?? Never see them move care out of the way take things away they are lazy dirty people so many with lame excuses often for condition of property.
Because u are not a dirty selfish pig. Many are.
There is something hypnotic and calming watching someone mowing the grass. damn I am old.
Yes! I agree!
Me too!
😂😂😂 me too
Ditto! 😆
Me too 😉
The Bible says don’t cast your pearls before swine! Their are so many folks that would truly appreciate you and the beautiful gift that you bless them with!
Victory Outdoor Services wears a go pro on his hat. Maybe it would be a good investment for you in terms of seeing things in your viewing working area if blamed. (Door was already broke you can see it when you pan in). Also helping to capture extra footage to post? Thank you for being so kind by mowing and paying for the door.
Have you ever thought of doing a "where are they now" episode?
Revisit previous jobs and see how many yards have been kept up or let down.
The work you do is uplifting and it would be great to see your long term success rate.
I was thinking the same thing! That would be an interesting video!
i was just thinking that too , scrolling down comments hoping that guy got bit of flack for his lack of gratitude, would be great to see it overgrown again etc
Seriously!!!!!!
@@tannerdavis2678 yeah seriously
Sounds good to me.
I would have replaced the door myself and thanked you for doing my yard.
Exactly. Having the yard done to the extent Al did it would have cost more than the door! Pay for it yourself.
It is always interesting how many vehicles are parked out front while you are single handedly fixing their yards.....and no one comes out to move their crap for you. God bless you!
With maybe an exception or two, the only ones that offer are those that are elderly or physically handicapped. But the universe always comes around to make things even.
I’ve noticed that too! Never seen them lend a hand! That’s messed up!😮
Today was football day.
I thought the same thing.
I thought the same thing also
Awesome yard transformation for FREE, NO citation to pay, and a NEW door for FREE. I would have been embarrassed to ask someone who just saved me a lot of time and citation to pay for a door.
You are awesome Al!!
I dont understand why everyone's kinda irritated about the guy mentioning that he broke the door. He did break the door. The resident didn't ask for him to give him free yard maintenance. An expected hazard is that maybe rocks fly and some glass gets broken. He did break the glass on the door. It's unfortunate but still. Plus, the resident even said, eh it's just the glass that needs replacing. I mean, yeah maybe they guy didn't show over the top in your face gratitude for the job well done, but, eh, it is what it is. Doesn't make humans less grateful. Guy probably already has a million other problems and things to worry about.
@@mandat201 im so confused about it as well, regardless of the free lawn care, he still broke something, and he initially offered to pay for the lawn to be done at the start, but either way, he broke something when mowing, so you fix it
Al you are a man of integrity and class ! God will bless you throughout your lifetime for always giving and never expecting anything in return. Sending blessings to you and your family from Houston, Texas.
Love you Al! Some ppl just can't be happy with the help & in fact I never seent them help pick their stuff up. I'd be embarrassed to be that lazy.
O MY GOD. Every body take note and never knocks at that door. Very good way to thank for a priceless job. Bless you Al
Love you man.....
One thing that really amazes me, is that so many people have broken lawn mowers, but not even one person has ever said.."hey, let me change clothes and I'll come out and give you a hand".....lol
Thank you for your generosity
I was thinking this a lot as well. I couldn't imagen not helping a hand or offeringen a drink or something to eat. Like how can you just go back inside and do nothing? Except for the sick/disabled people of course.
Some folks have offered a glass of water. In vid #3 or 4 this week he mentioned that the H. O. had given him muffins and a soda.
I saw that happen only twice in the years Al has been doing this. Nice old vet who had been in his home for 40 years. Showed Al his collections and stuff. It was cool.
But take into consideration that most people physically or mentally (like agoraphobia) can't do the work. 😎👍
@@ldqa2737 I spent my entire career working in the Affordable Housing Industry. We often experienced these kinds of reactions from folks we were helping. I will say this; most people are embarrassed that they need help. They’ve grown up being taught that Americans should be able to provide for themselves. So when they find themselves between a rock and a hard place it’s tough to just be open and accepting of other’s help. Staying/going back inside is the least stressful reaction. Now, of course there are always exceptions; but I would give the Residents the benefit of the doubt. After all isn’t the important thing here that human beings are helping each other out and not that proper acknowledgement should be shown by the recipient? Let’s just keep things in the spirit in which it was offered! I’m so very glad of those who offer the help and just wish that our society didn’t leave people behind quite so often.
Well said, whammond. It's about spreading kindness and helping people out. And who knows, it might get them thinking and passing some kindness on to the next guy.
Kindness is a reward in itself 😊
Al just remember you are doing what JESUS told all of us to do! Help those that need our help! And BLESSING WILL COME YOUR 🙏 WAY!
"No good deed goes unpunished." Great job Al.
Al, reminds me of “No good deed goes unpunished” You are a man of integrity and I just sent you $10 towards the door. Not much but I hope enough do the same to cover your cost. Oh. The transformation was amazing. Well done.
@@Zricha-n9iy’all I’m sure he makes a ton on these videos 😭😭 take care of yourselves
Yeah most likely some people are to nice for there own good.
This man still works for people that sometimes don't appreciate or acknowledge his kindness. THAT'S what makes AL a awesome human being. God bless you Al and family.👏👏👏🙏👍
It's just common (not so common), decency to say "Thankyou" at very least.
It's just common (not so common), decency to say "Thankyou" at the very least.
You believe he does this out of the goodness of his heart. Bless your soul Frank.
I'd argue its good content to be a good human and those dont have to be mutually exclusive. He finds joy and money and people benefit. Not saying true altruism isnt done with noone watching, but just that he's not inherently selfish for making a profit from giving. Also, isnt everything even true altruism, self serving to a degree?@fartpooboxohyeah8611
@fartpooboxohyeah8611 What a terrible thing to say. I understand the concept of what you're saying. You do a favor for someone and that's all it is...a favor. But when your life has become one continuous favor for so many people it deserves recognition. And if likes bring them a monetary value then so be it. Would you be willing to do the hard work that they do for free and not even want a thank you? You're looking for recognition just by posting your comment. And I'm giving it to you. You're welcome! 😉
Just a little sidenote: I really enjoy how creative the *_bleep_* noises are, more variation than most of those I watch. Thanks for the giggles.
Me too!
Me too!🎉🎉🎉
Me too 🤣
Guys giggle?
and here I thought they chuckled 🤔🙂
going by your profile picture unless you are an imposter of some sort
3 reply’s from all f/ males who also admitted they too giggled- is this evidence ?
🧐
If these people don't appreciate you trust me the neighbors surely do!!! You are such a gentle soul and always handle yourself with grace and class!!! Keep shining... you give us hope in the humanity of just plain ol good people in this world!! From the bottom of my heart.... thank you!!!
what I don't understand is how to express people's gratitude. You moved their house and they act like you didn't do anything. They don't even leave their homes to check out the final result. Americans need to value the simple things in life more. If it were here in Brazil, people would be eternally grateful for your services, they would give you lunch, they would look at everything you did in the smallest detail. congratulations my friend
Honestly, Floridians are not known for being friendly or hospitable..we're a very selfish, overly prideful and narcissistic state unfortunately. Look at our governor, he's exactly that and then some. It's truly sad.
Exactly. Offer a cup of water. Maybe with a ice cube too.
I hope, due to editing, that they DID come out to enjoy the transformation. 8 or so hours of work condensed to 45 minutes. 🤞
My thoughts exactly
In Mexico too, we'd offer him tacos and home made lemonade or something
Probably worth it to take a video walk through of the house before starting work to deal with claims of damaged property
He does all the time. He did a little at this one just edits the part worth watching
And i would make them sign a waiver..because its there yard thats not maintained..just re: property damage ..just in case..nit that u try to do things just a protection
Al, it's a shame that guy let you buy a new door, even if you did crack it, it was his rock. It's his sloppy yard. You're the one who will blessed. Do what's right and God will balance the books. Love you, and love to all
Agreed, if he wasn't so fuckin lazy and would have mowed his own lawn then it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
In fairness to the homeowner if he had $ he could have taken of his lawn himself - to end up with the bill for a new door (they are expensive) it would be more than paying someone to cut his grass.
Another transformation completed Al a job well done bad luck about the door but very generous gesture to replace at your expense very lucky resident but I’m sure you will receive compensation many times over for your work. My days complete - Well done and looking forward to day 6 😊
The thing is, like Al said, probably a rock from the string trimmer. He's a stand up guy, didn't try to get out of it but instead just took care of the issue. I've seen SB do that a couple of times. Same thing, a stand up guy, won't try to shrug off the responsibility...just owns up to it and addresses it without drama. We need more guys like them!
That guy is a renter.. He mentions his landlord. Landlords rocks... Lol
But overall.. Al was cordial..things happen and he replaced it.
Id rented a home years ago before buying mine and we had to cut the yard...he took care of all the inside...and he supplied the mower!! All I did was put gas in it.
I was totally blown away that you not only did the yards for free but then you replaced the door. I've seen similar things happen around here and the worker/company refuses to fix any damage they do. You're an amazing person Al.
I was more worried about damage to the three nice looking cars, was NOT expecting the door damage. I wouldn't be surprised if this lazy renter comes after him later for dings or chips. I do not miss being a landlord, what a dump this guy let it become.
Did he break the door? When he walked up towards the end, it was perfectly fine. It looks like the door shattered when he opened it.
@@DeepDownInTheOceancan't tell the exact timing because of his editing. It looked intact when he knocked then all the sudden its shattered when he has the door open. You can see the time jump there.
It broke my heart to see that you had to buy a new door after your labor of love to mow that overgrown lawn. I know the lord will continue to increase you in hundredfolds. You are such such a man of great character.Keep on spreading your positivity . Love love what you do😘😘
Yeah, holy crap if someone did all that work for me and I found my door was broken I would be standing in front of that thing so he can't see it so he doesn't friggin replace the door on top of everything. That's just embarrassing.
So so sorry about the door. I know accidents happen but I hate that it happened to you. You’re a good, honest hard working man, Al. Blessings on you, your business and your family. 🙏🏼💕
that is the problem... no matter how free the stuff is people are not very accommodating when something is damaged... that's why a lot of people avoid doing free stuff whether its food or what
@@physics77guy so true 👍🏾 Amen..
They look like tics maybe. Never seen so many in one spot like that tho. Good luck and blessings to you for all you do!!!
@@physics77guy that guy is a sad case…a taker indeed. Whatever…Al is more blessed than him.
@@meems9884 Yes, they were ticks that carry lyme disease.
When this is done PLEASE make sure to take some time for yourself and rest! Great job, you're a kind soul ❤
Yeah he needs a spa day for sure
24:37 I know this is an older video but in case you've never solved the mystery, these are Jadera bugs. They are actually beneficial bugs, they eat seeds of the Chinaberry and Goldenrain trees and are perfectly harmless. They don't hurt the plants nor Humans, in fact they kind of do us a favor by eating seeds that won't fall to the ground to sprout seedling trees!
They are gross! They stink
Good eye 🫡 I thought they were boxelder bugs 😅
@@amberjones7892 I did too at first but their bodies were just a liiiiittle off😆
They looked like assassin beetles to me.. I could be wrong but around here all the assassin beetles are very red like that with dark black heads and abdomens
Good eye. I thought for sure they were boxelders at first, particularly the red nymphs, but the adults were too dark and I was stumped.
Al you are a true gentleman; taking responsibility right away, by apologizing and replacing the door -- no if's, and's or but's from you over it.
You know it’s REALLY sad when the dad can’t even come out to clean up the crap out of his own yard!!! That shouldn’t even have been an issue for you to clean up. Thank you soo much for your kindness and generosity!!! May the Good Lord bless you and all you do!!
When he said his landlord would flip out I was like OMG a renters hat doesn't take care of the owners property wtf
No money for a good lawnmower but 3 cars on the driveway....?????
Exactly. He could have come out for even ten minutes and moved some of the random crap that was all around the house and in the way. You're pure gold Son. The world would be a much better place if there were more folks like you living in it. Love the sexy beast with no shirt on that answered the door🤮
I had a similar experience when I was doing landscaping back in the 90s. I went to a home to plant a single Yew bush, and before I could even get started, I had to shovel about 100 dog bombs out of the lawn. The dog and the kids were running around the whole time. Nobody helped. Nobody talked to me. Nobody acknowledged me, and nobody thanked me. And they didn't even pay me for doing it. But I have too much respect for dogs to let them live like that. Not the dogs fault.
@@MrHuismeester My friend owns a rental property in my neighborhood that came with a brand new mower when he bought the house. The current renters have never used the new mower🤷♂️
Wow no good deed goes unpunished. You did an amazing job and I do think if it had been me I would have paid for the new door myself since he would had to pay someone to cut the grass anyway. You are such a good man Al!
That is the way I feel about the door. This person was ungrateful. There are two kinds of people in the world, the givers and the takers.
Yesss he was ungrateful, he really said I’m glad I caught it before you left 😑
@@FBI1591- There was nothing wrong with what the renter said. Had he not seen the broken door until after Al left, how could the broken door be the fault of anyone outside of the renter and his family? The renter also thanked Al several times for the yard transformation and the door. What more could he say or do to show his gratitude?
@@FBI1591 I think I did hear glass break when he was doing those bricks by the door. That broke my heart he had to pay for it, but Al is the Man & very nice person!
@@kristineguetschow9134 Did the man say he was renting?? I didn't catch that part, Duh on me then. I still love how nice Al is!!!
This is the classic example that the better you are as a person, the more some people will try to take advantage of you.
That’s because some people are givers and sadly, some people are takers, with no remorse or gratitude….
As the old saying goes, "No good deed goes unpunished."
I Never see the gratitude I expect on the faces of those you've saved them from paying out. You work hard, and some act like it's no big deal.
Same man I would be walking around looking this guy was like ok cool I wish he would do episodes of driving back by these places in a few months and seeing if they kept up with it
Seems like the neighbors are way more grateful!!
Right? Don't even come out to offer him a bottle of water (if they even have any) on a hot day. Ingrate.
yes it’s pretty bad the lack of appreciation.. ugly really
Only grateful people seem to be the elderly or disabled. If I wasn't handicapped, I'd be mowing because I enjoy it and it's good exercise. Been mowing since I was a kid and my Dad taught me good. I'm very particular. Great job, Al!
Piece of advice. Contact the local church or other organization and see if they can give you the name of someone who is legitly in need. Just because someone's yard is overgrown, doesnt mean they are in need....Some of them are just ungrateful and lazy.
I understand peoples mowers break down but why don't they pick up the junk frpm their yard, don't need a mower to do that, just sayin.
When you do something out of kindness you are not looking for what the people are you are just doing it out of unconditional love.
Sad but true. 😢
Great transformation. As always.
Amen
I am always surprised that none of the people you help don't offer a cold drink or food for the hard work you are putting into their property.
Generous people don't usually live in filth, but greedy pigs do.
my thoughts exactly..
I’ve noticed some people has brought out water before. A lady had also brought out water and homemade brownies to him as well.
I have been a single mom for years and would be so grateful if someone came and helped me. And you can be sure I’d be driving down to the nearest Tim Horton’s for drinks and donuts, even if I had to return bottles to the bottle depot to do so.
Some do
Hey Al I just had an idea! You know how in some videos people get upset when you mow or cut down a plant that they love and want to keep? What if you asked them at point of contact to put up some tall flags right at that plant so you can see it, know it's there, and trim around it? Sometimes special plants get lost in all the tall growth and you can't see them. Just an idea to help you avoid that issue. If they did a walk through with you and you placed those markers on or near the plants they love it would help out a lot IMO. Love your work. God bless you!
Al, you should get yard signs made (like political posters). So put them in the yard when they've been "Bladed"
@@keithstovall7313 That's a nice idea, which reminds me that "pressure-washed into the dirt"-symbol from Robert Hansen (aka @CabinontheHill) ... :)
Most of them I see cut down are,hostes, different grass plants almost any out door plant if it gets cut down its good to cut down any way it will come back-up better then ever
True @@DianeNichols-u1b Most in these yards are so overgrown and untended that they aren't pretty anymore anyways.
Great idea!
i really get frustrated when you try help someone and it backfires. You deserve a break and dont challenge yourself to help someone that isnt helping themself!
There are no mistakes. Only our errors to own.
Amazing, Al!! Again, it would be REALLY nice if the homeowner helped pick up & move things in the yard first. And give my regards to The Beast, as well. Always have loved that green/purple paint job!
Made excuses about lawnmower! What’s his excuse about all the trash in the yard?
@@sharynsherwood4652, is Walmart the only place to buy lawnmower batteries? Nope
@@sharynsherwood4652 I agree. Why people do not at the least move their cars is beyond me. If I was getting a free yard maintenance I would put in some effort to help out if I was physically possible.Great job Al.
@@sharynsherwood4652 yeh is super hard to find a battery for a riding lawn mower .....lol
@@daryldettmer9160 He found that out so why not go out buy another if you take any pride in your property. He said the lawn mower was broken, apparently both his arms were to the junk lying around including the old mower had not been moved in a long time. That was a lovely property it just needed some tender loving care. I live alone I have to huge property's to care for, the one where I live on the lake, one across the road from where I live. I now both property's with a push lawn mower. I have been thinking of getting a ride on or something like he has, I need this winter to get more information on them, as it is all new to me. I can understand a person getting their lawn done by someone else if they are unable to do it their self, when it comes to being lazy, that is a different story. There are many women like myself living on their own doing everything, when I say everything I mean it. I think in many cases today men, women, each are getting soft, lazy, they wonder why their health is effected, we need exercise, fresh air in order to remain healthy.
"No good deed goes unpunished."
Sorry Al that this happened to you, Bud. Your heart was in the right place.
Sadly, these good deeds are proof the takers exponentially outnumber the givers.
Never let the idiots impact how you feel about doing something good
Everything is intentional.
Dude has 3 working fairly new vehicles in the driveway. Money is not the problem in maintaining the yard.
Gust fat and lazy!
@@incredibleshrinkingfungus1731 Yes, there are plenty of humps like this guy down here in Florida. They take advantage of the ones who have a good morals and a compassionate heart.
I respect the fact that you owned up,replaced the door and still was humble about owning it instead of passing the blame back on the homeowner!❤!
Al if there were more people like you the world would be a much better place. God bless you young man! 😃
AMAZING AL BLADEZ! You are an excellent example of how to live a life in this world! May GOD POUR HEAVENLY BLESSINGS ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
You are a good person Al and it makes me angry when I see good people taken advantage of. I could tell by the video that the glass was fatigued and ready to shatter from the heat just by how it broke.
You have a gentle heart Al, as soon as I saw the guy come to the door, I would have walked away. I just saw trouble brewing. Dealing with customers all my working life, you learn who to avoid.
Get some rest, all your subscribers are pulling for you.
31:22 is when the door gets shattered. you can hear that thud pretty well. Great transformation! Doesnt even look like the same property!
AL, you handled this accident in the way you handle everything. With class my friend. Yelling and shouting never accomplishes anything. You are the blessing in this video. All the garbage and property cleaned up and looks amazing. Love and light to you, you are one special young man. Sylvia Canada 🇨🇦
Exactly! Al is a class act and an exceptional human being! 👍🏻🇺🇲
I see three vehicles in the front of the house and noo e came out to help you. Amazing!!
The guy who lives here is just lazy. I saw 3 vehicles out front,so if they can afford to run them,they can afford a garden clean up. Lazy and mean. Al is a class act and a star human being.⭐
YOU are an honorable man with arrow straight character. Thanks for giving us a picture of what true integrity looks like.
No good deed goes unpunished. The tenant wasn’t terrible, but didn’t seem to have the funds to replace the door. Al you are a man of high character. You love on the unlovable. Be safe!

I feel like he was ungrateful. If that was my door I would have paid for a new door myself and be grateful for you doing my yard, especially if I had a fine coming. God bless you sir.
Me too. What does a door like that go for in the states?
And was it already like that and you got scammed for a new door?
What a crappy guy !!!
feeloader he was. Im amazed how many people do not evem offer drinks or food in return to his kindness. unbelievable!!!
Your fault or not...tenant should have paid for the door. In the beginning he was real quick to admit that you were saving him from a huge fine...but oh well. AB you are a blessing bro, keep up the good work.
That’s too bad about the door! But you are the best for stepping up and helping with that too. Bet the door was damaged/aged before you started. You’re a good man with great friends! Nice job on this challenge!
Everyone already addressed the door, so I'll add this. The red and black bugs are called Jadera bugs. They're harmless and non-destructive. They eat the seeds of certain trees called Chinaberry and Goldenrain trees. They prevent tons of seedlings from growing up around the tree and taking over the area.
Thank you, very cool
Thank you, I have seen them before covering a few trees. Had no idea what they were
Tree birth control bug. Neat👍
Thank you for the info! I live in NY and have never seen anything like them. Good to know they're harmless despite being pretty freaky looking!
Pretty sure those were box elder bugs. They kill trees
Thanks! The door looks great...but expensive! Wish I could do more to offset the cost😌 Maybe others will step up. Thanks for all you do 🙂💜

Bro I cried when you immediately just got him a new door. You're amazing keep up the great work
omg. For the 2k you just saved him, he should have bought his own door. I think you could have just replaced the glass. You are awesome Al.
The state of how he kept his property says much about is character, how you stood up and replaced his door says much about yours. Interesting to see the contrast and inspiring as well.

I would never expect Al to replace the door!! The guy is not very nice!! The landlord has insurance for that
God bless you Al!!
Lol, you people are messed up. Do you really think Al is doing this for free? He has 1 million subs. He gets 20k each month for doing these lawns for "free". If there was no lawns to do for free this guy wouldn't get paid by youtube. I wonder if there is a million subs on here thinking the same,,,its laughable. Get back to work. God bless him,,,,lol.
It really upsets me when you go out of your way to help people, and they can't turn a cracked window in on their homeowners. I guess it takes all kinds. Another nice job. Here is another case where he could have cleaned up a little, especially the mess in the back
He was renting and I was getting the impression his landlord wasn't too happy with him as it was...
After all you did for him I hope he goes ahead and cleans up all the stuff laying around. You did an awesome job as always.

Here in Saskatchewan Canada the bug is called Boxelder but we call them maple bugs they always hang out on female Maple trees
Hi Kathie. I googled those bugs too. Jadera is what I found. Nice to help Al. Such a good guy. 😊❤
@@frostyfoot Yes, they are Boxelder Beetles! They consume decaying organic material and are very beneficial. In cold weather they will congregate in cracks and crevices around your house trying to stay warm.

I'm a single dad working 2 jobs and still maintain my home and yard. You either wanna do it or ya don't IMO and a damn door! Nice job Al
YOU ARE AWESOME MY FRIEND! DON’T EVER STOP BEING YOU ! 🙏🙏🙏
Accidents happen don’t beat yourself up over it. Your doing a good deed for this family.I’ve looked forward everyday to see what you have accomplished.
Al, I suspect you didn't do any damage to that door. I have looked at the video several times and could not see where you did anything to that door. I suspect you don't think you were responsible either, so I am impressed that you told him you would replace it for him.
Yeah considering there appears to be another door or window boarded up, easy to assume the door glass too was already shattered, can't really see at the beginning if it was already broken
Glass is very weird. Me and my friend were barley tossing bb sized rocks at some paper cups while sitting down. There was a commercial glass door behind me and a few of my friends tiny pebbles bounced off the ground first then ricocheted and hit the glass. The last one that hit the door barley nicked it at the bottom corner and then it started to shatter all the way up the door. It barley got hit we were barley tossing the bb sized rocks sitting down hardley any inertia at all if any
No good deed goes unpunished. You’re a good man
*I don't think that's what that means but it's close enough.*
It's exactly what it means!
@@garryquiggins8183 *Only if you read sayings in literal sense.*
Brilliant work. I have land here in wales uk I wish I had your mower.
Amen 🙏
I'm just blown away by all this. If someone did that much yard work for me for free then I wouldn't care in the least about the broken door glass. I'd happily pay for that on my own and you'd still be on my Christmas list for life.
If he doesn't have enough money to fix his lawnmower, how could you expect him to have enough for a brand ne door. A stranger comes by saying he will mow your grass for free and then brakes your property.
The comment justifying this action is why people don’t help people anymore! He is a young man and CAN save a few dollars or work another shift, literally, to fix his lawnmower..he chooses not to then wants to play “poor me” because his lazy butt just won’t take care of his own house. I’m sure if he opened that door, a cracked window would be the least of his problems!
@@joshuadickey7221 from the looks of his back yard, I'd say he's just too lazy to fix it (trash all over not put away). He never said he couldn't get a battery, he just never found the right one.....
He is a lazy dude. That yard is a dump
That man’s got a heck of a nerve accepting that door after working so hard and saving him fines. You’re a star, Al!
True, that glass could have been replaced. And who lets their yard get that bad with 3 or 4 New Vehicles in the driveway? so many questions after the man accepted that new door. He didnt seem grateful for a free yard make over either. Oh well, I should shut up.
I want to know how a simple knock on the door resulted in a shattered glass situation. Is it possible that it was already broken and because Al didn't mention it, this guy used him to get a free door.? Just a thought. I watched this entire video, and I didn't see any point in it that showed when it got broken. I love your work Al. I love your big heart. But I have seen too much to believe anything but the old mantra that "no good deed goes unpunished".
Some people are takers and never give
@@gerryayotte7724 When he was using the weed wacker it probably kicked up a rock and broke his door glass. It happened to me a couple of years back to my door and I noticed it after I was using the weed wacker. I could see were the glass had an impacted the glass and wad radiating outwards. The glasss was double pane vacuum sealed and its easier to just replace the door that try to find and replace the correct glass panels. 😒
@@boniemann scam
I loved that you didn’t even hesitate to get him a new door, total professional 😊
hey Al . Hope you were able to get the new door at cost or Chucky was able to help install for free . Not only a free lawn make over but a beautiful new door . True sign of a good heart is when something goes wrong & you are still able to keep a humble spirit . Best . Mark (Toronto) 💙
Do any of these people offer you a cold drink, at least? I love watching your videos, especially, the reveal. You are such a giving person. I wish you all the best life can give.
NUMBER 6 KNOCKED OUT !!!!
Loved how well the pavers cleaned up. It's nice seeing an unruly yard reclaimed and looking sooo GOOD!!
GO AL !!!
WOW!!!!!! you are way too kind!!!!!! That guy didn't appreciate it at all...or he wouldn't have even mentioned the door after ALL you did and money you saved him.....wow.....you are definitely a BLESSING
Good job and quick reaction. YOU are very observant around your surroundings. YOU ARE ONE AMAZING GUY. You did it all by yourself.
A question mark on "bed bugs." They are smaller. (?!) A thumbs up for taking the time to research it for Al! He did a great job, as always!!
Possibly boxelder bugs? Hopefully not kissing bugs…🤷♀️
They are called jadera bugs. They eat the seeds to chinaberry tree and golden rain tree. They are harmless
@@dugangant I guess I was wrong. Deleting my guess
Wow i'm glad i'm not alone... Al is a great guy!!!! there is know take in him its all give. God bless dude.....
So he has a mower, he makes you pay for his door, he has trash all over. He sure looked like he was capable to do for himself. By accepting the offer of free help he deprived someone who was really in need. You have a heart of gold Al.
Nobody forced him to pay for the door, he offered to pay for it first. And rightfully so, you better take responsibility for damaging someone's property
@@ephraimkaravan Not rightfully so. Don't accept free charity then complain when things accidentally happen. The free lawn care (how much would that have cost?) + the inevitable incoming fines from the city would've been more expensive than fixing a door. Beggars can't be choosers.
@@jasras5003 I don't know what third-world country you live in, but there is no such thing as being exempt from liability just because you are performing a service free of charge. Not unless you have a signed document stating clearly that you aren't liable for damages that may be caused. Al broke a door and he took responsibility for it, knowing that he himself is the one who caused the damage. With your logic, I can go around my neighborhood mowing people's lawns and getting away with property damage simply because I am not charging any money for the service. Guess who would win that case in court.
@@jasras5003 well as the homeowner/renter saod if the landlord saw it he would flip out and who knows maybe the landlord would evict them.
@@JosephDawson1986 Oh you mean the same landlord that allowed their renters to make their property look like $hit with impending city fines? Oh ok. Makes total sense.
Al you are amazing. Wanting a free yard repaired after neglect. His reaction says a lot about his character and the type of person he is.
Some people just think others should do things for them no moral compass.
Some people are just pigs. I didn't like that there were late model cars in the driveway; he had the money but just didn't care about his ugly lawn.
I completely agree with the both of you
Some people live like pigs all their lives just fattening hence they NEVER learned how to be humans. This dude is a classic example!
@@marxipan376 my mil is like that. After my fil passed away she moved in with us. I have been fighting daily to keep my place clean because she is a huge slob.
I am glad you are not going to let this accident slow you down. You are doing so much good in your community. I really enjoy your videos. I wish you a happy & safe 2023.
This is why you're admired by so many AL. You displayed the most amazing act of kindness to receive no real gratitude, instead it ended up costing you, for thinking of other's. It's acts like this that shows that human kindness is still very present, even when the odds low ❤
Dang Al, you did such a great job on this property. You would think the man would have renters insurance to cover stuff like that. Are you sure something you did broke the door? I went back and didn't see where it happened. You saved this dude more than the cost of the door I'm sure on possible fines. Some folks will always bite the hand that feeds them. You are the best. Love to you and your family.💖💖
Your bleeps were funny. You do great work and I hate you had an accident and had to replace the door. I'm glad you had help. You work so hard if you can't do seven yards six is fine. Your getting tired and that is when bad things happen. God's peace 🙏
You are amazing! The yard turned out great. I love how calmly you handled the broken glass. You are a class act. ❤️
I'm 71yoa and have just found you this week, I'm hooked! Love to watch a Good Man hard at work! Also have been in receipt of help from Good People such as yourself these last 10 years or so ... Thank You for ALL YOU DO for the ungratefuls ...
You are so close number 7 tomorrow. I am sure you will make it. You do such a great job and pay for shattering his front door. I am so glad there are people like you in this world. God Bless you
Great great job!
My husband and I are hooked watching you.
We noticed that, no one comes outside to bring water , lunch.
That’s what we do when someone is doing a job inside or outside.
People are usually embarrassed or suffering in some way. Why would you expect them to go make lunch?
Yeah it’s sad to the think people are that useless- take this door saga for example.
You’ve got a moon over your shoulder
@@thomasbarlow3782 Maybe not lunch, but offering water doesnt kill anybody. ;)
Yes, I at least tip, offer cold drinks, go get pizza and insist they eat some. These people live like this for a reason. They are often not mentally well, which is why they are usually poor.
i cant believe this guy couldnt atleast pay for half the cost...unreal great job
on the yard
Yes chucky thanks again and behalf of my favorite you tube lawn make over channel big up your self AL don't feel bad
You're such a good soul!! I agree the people you help could come out & assist you by moving junk etc.; help in the cleanup. Offer drinks or snack.
We appreciate All you do for others!!
Nice job dude, even though you didn’t get the compliments and appreciation you deserved on this job. Hopefully youtube covers these expenses💯 Great job🙏🏼👍🏽
When Al knocks on the door at 1:35 you can see the glass panel is intact initially, although when it's opened and the sun shimmers across the surface there does appear to be some inconsistancy with the reflection. This would suggest that there may have been a pre-existing issue with the structural integrity of the glass. When Al knocks, the sun shimmer warps which should not happen with sound material. When the door opens, the centre of where this warp appears there is a small white mark on the glass, possibly from an impact, but evidently not damaging enough to have caused the integrity to actually fail.
Much later one, at around 20:07 when Al is thrashing the weed-infested cobblestone pathing; if you listen carefully there's a quiet sound like something hitting a window. This is right near where the door is, judging from the camera position - in front of the plant-pots that are lined up along the doorstep. Al would not have been able to hear over the noise of the machine, but the camera mic does picks it up given it's closer proximity. Chances are this is where some debris kicked up and hit the glass panel on the door, enough to cause a fracture in the already weakened glass panel.
At 39:14 Al knocks on the door again, and the white mark is much more noticable (and larger) than previously. Whether whatever debris that was kicked up hit the exact same spot or not, the impact was clearly enough to cause this pre-existing issue further damage. At 39:35 when the door is being closed after the conversation, the glass panel finally gives way shattering into itself.
"Thanks for the free landscaping, now buy me a new door." Real nice.
You are a reputable man, my hat goes off to you.
Great transformation Al. I'm sorry for broken door. Accidents happen but they are always harder to deal with when it's the 'end' of the day and you are tired. I'm glad you were able to replace it the same day.
Well Al, number 6 is in the books, even with a little problem (the door), just an idea, as you're going around a house/structure, take pictures of the house/windows/doors so you have pictorial/video evidence that you didn't bust/break anything, better safe than sorry
What an incredible person you are! We need more people like you in this world! God Bless you! I’m a single mom and live by college students.. never once have been helped with shoveling or mowing.
How gracious you are to help this man, your work ethic is impressive and you do fantastic work.
Legend... You are the epitome of integrity and kindness.
