  • Revisiting an old Free Mow Fridays location and looking for the next overgrown yard to clean up.

    Hi! My name is Tim The Lawnmower Man and I love to clean up overgrown yards and make fun videos doing it. I'm able to do them for free as these videos have ads on them and the revenue from that enables me to cover my cost.
    I'm always looking for the worst yards around. Sometimes I drive around looking for them, sometimes viewers send me suggestions.

    Helping needy people is very generous and honourable . Helping lazy people just enables them.

    What’s happened/happening to a large portion of humanity? !
    We seem to have given up on moving our bodies!!
    Very sad.
    Thank you for this video. It shows me that you also wonder what has/is happening to us? !
    Blessings to you.

    Loved seeing the properties later. I really like this Vlog, Tim. Congrats Patty! Girl Power!! I get lawn equipment or kitchen appliances for my birthday/anniv. That's what I want more than jewelry or going out to eat. Flowers are okay if I can plant them in the yard. Our son gave me a Canna for Mother's Day 15 years ago. Now, 1/4 of my big back rock bed is Cannas from that one plant. God is good!

    Nice one Tim 👍 It's so sad about those folks being made to leave their home 😞 You're right Tim never judge anyone, especially when you don't know them or what their going through 😔
    I would say do that garden as long as it's legal for you to do so🤞 Have a lovely day Tim ❤

  • @seanslawns

    Tim, I spent two days cutting and cleaning up a yard in May of 23 and I saw it the other day. It’s worse than it was before I cut it, it was kind of depressing haha. I’m gonna go back and bust it up again.
    Your buddy Sean is the man, you two are awesome.

  • @carolynrose9522
    @carolynrose9522 3 месяца назад +1

    Public housing has to cater for a variety of people’s reasons for the need and family sizes. Units don’t always suit. I worked in mental health and ran a garden group (around growing veggies etc) in a community garden plot. There was always a need for garden maintenance but were not permitted to help out. You know, liability, insurance, outside job description, outside funding yadda, yadda. A couple of weed clean ups were done on the quiet with the group members helping out the client in need. They did get something out of assisting someone else connected through mental health with the organisation and learning about what is and isn’t a weed for example. Hopefully it may have instilled the idea of working more in their own gardens. Hey, always rules!

    I am sure it comes down to money! I have a good buddy that has several other properties that he rents out and in a couple of cases he wanted to replace a house with 1 home with a duplex or 4 units but the local zoning laws kept him from improving his property and creating more housing for more people with smaller yards! Easy maintenance is so important for older and disabled renters! Thanks for sharing your clean-up adventures!

    I am glad you have empathy as I have mental health issues as well as physical disabilities and know first hand what it's like when it comes to lawns and housing. I do it all myself, can't afford to hire someone. When you're in housing you're just a number, they constantly change area workers so if you have known problem you have to constantly tell the new officer what is wrong, bring them up to scratch. Not always easy. They simply don't read your profile! Thank you for you good work and understanding of what can/be wrong for people.

    definitely a mental health issue. I can 100% agree there. I used to care a lot about the state of my lawns until my own breakdown. now I just don't care much anymore and financial issues have prevented me from getting on top of it again. Now I am at the point where I am to exhausted mentally to even try. Keep it up Tim, you're awesome

    Hi Tim. Love your vlogs and the kindness you show to people who need help. I am in a similar position. I live alone, am almost 70, have depression and have had a lot of lawnmower businesses mow my backyard over the past 5 years. However, for some reason they either don’t come back, rip me off or I have to chase them. I don’t ask for much - there is only 1/2 a backyard as the grass doesn’t grow under the trees, and the nature strip (fortunately a neighbour mows it for me). Maybe the job isn’t big enough!! I am not a lazy person but it seems, these days, it is difficult to get anything done. This is just a rant. Keep up the good work. The world needs good people like you. 💕

    You have to be non-conditional or it doesn’t mean anything to do what you do. When you lead with your heart you teach others by example. It makes others happy to watch you and to be part of your journey.

    I imagine the Department doesn't want to go through the hassle of the approvals by local council to rezone the property for duplex units, particularly if the house is in an area where other houses are privately owned, potentially leading to local resident objections to the change. The property might be nominally tagged for a larger family in the Department's system.
    I wouldn't be surprised if Department staff might have even suggested it, but if they don't have established policies for making such changes, the staff likely don't have the time or patience to push such an approach through given the red tape involved.
