Everyone TOLD ME there was NO SIDEWALK HERE so I spent 15 HOURS uncovering it
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2024
- I had multiple neighbors and also the owner of the home tell me that they had never seen a sidewalk here. So, I spent the next 15 hours completely uncovering it and proving them wrong. This has to be one of my most labor intensive jobs as the sidewalk was covered in multiple inches of dirt and removing it took around 50 wheelbarrows full. Everybody was shocked with the result to say the least and it completely transformed the look of the home and the entire corner.

I wish I could go see you just to shake your hand and tell you how much my family and I appreciate you and all that you do! 💖 And your tag-line, “SB Mowing… Out!” always gets me! 😆 Love you, Spencer!
Do we need to bring our own papers, I mean gasoline?
Hey Spencer, ever think of coming out to Cali?? 😉
Keep up the great work! I enjoy your videos every week!
I’m in NYC. Thank you for everything you do and I hope you have an amazing time and meet some great folks 😊
This is my aunts home. She passed years ago. In my 34 years of life, I never knew there was a sidewalk!!! I watch this channel often. Never would've thought I would know the house that was being serviced! You are a blessing, and I pray God continues to bless you!
I love that you found this video! This is the kind of thing that can happen so quickly to a yard and be financially impossible to clear, and it gets more challenging to want to tackle if you have any physical limitations. I could tell by the smokers that your aunt liked to host, I'm sure she was a blessing in life as this is to her surviving family. ❤
so that was ur cousin in the video that came up and talked to him
Now the city will come by and say the sidewalk will need to be repaired
the young lady should have offered him something to drink or even a meal for lunch - some people should learn manners

@@percussioncourtyard-pt6oi That would have been nice.
You should do a “where are they now” series and go back to all the overgrown lawns you’ve serviced.
We both know the outcome of that video, the lawns don't get to that state because they don't know HOW to deal with it, just that they don't WANT to deal with it and/or don't want (or can't afford) to spend the money to get someone else to deal with it.
@@bellowick Exactly. I'd venture to say that almost all of them, including this one, go right back to looking horrible within weeks. I have a lot of properties around me that could care less what their yards look like nor do they care what anyone thinks about it.
In my experience watching these videos they are often pensioners who can't do yard work and definitely can't afford to pay someone. You'd think the neighborhood would step up in those cases.
That is such a good idea
@@inthefade And in my experience, its usually able bodied people who just could care less about their yard and what anyone thinks about it.
He looks for houses with overgrown yards to promote his business and at the same time blesses people in need. I see a win win situation. Great job and thank you for all you do.
Tax write offs
You may not be rich in money, but you will never have any want's, you are and will continue to be blessed by God for your hard work, sacrifices, "Love" Offerings and Blessings to the many People you Help and Touch. The world needs more people like you. Thank you Son.
Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
I think he lives off making videos only. The labor is hard.. he takes a couple days off during the week for resting and editing the videos.
@@miamijefe7793 definitely not lol. he has a lawn care company and he does this free thing for videos once a week. you're not getting those heavy duty equipment nor will you get favors from other lawn care companies if you just do it as a hobby and just for videos
Seeing that the owner just inherited the house after their mom passed is a major blessing. Not all neglect is from laziness instead plenty of time folk just get overwhelmed by life especially when it's another family members house to begin with
Agreed! My husband and I moved in with my mother after my father passed, and OH my GOD is the whole property in disarray! We just have to deal with it, little by little, but I don't blame her for letting it get out of hand, as she is disabled and my dad was terminally ill for a long time, with her as his only real caregiver. We've done all we could, but when your dad is dying, the lawn isn't what you think about first. At least it wasn't for us.
it happens all the time !!
They about to be overwhelmed with city assessments expenses when they come to replace that cracked up trip hazard sidewalk now
@@SuperQBoithat’s the city’s problem, the sidewalk isn’t the home owners responsibility to repair.
@@SuperQBoisidewalk is Public property. If they try that she can easily dispute it
As a wheelchair user, I want to thank you for doing this for the neighborhood. Even a cracked sidewalk is better (and SAFER) than rolling on grass or having to go out in the street. Some people don't realize how important things like sidewalks are for disabled or elderly people - I'm looking at you, people complaining that the cracked sidewalk is now exposed. I would have been ecstatic if I was one of those neighbors as it would mean I could more easily and SAFELY go on walks (you know what I mean) around the neighborhood.
(Edit: I didn't intend to make anyone feel bad about this. I was simply trying to bring awareness to a subject that most people are unaware of. Even if it's something that never crossed your mind before, please don't feel bad; I don't blame anyone who never thought about it. Advocating for accessibility has been part of my life since I was a young child. My goal is just to provide a different perspective that may open someone's mind to a way of life unfamiliar to them.)
This 🙌 sidewalks are a safer option in general, but especially for as you mention elderly and those with disabilities. It's got to be tough as it is, let alone dealing with area's that aren't as handicap friendly 😮💨
Well you certainly added a different opinion that I’d have never of thought of. I did see the busted up sidewalk and thought wow that’s in a state of disrepair, your post opened my eyes to seeing it a different way. So thanks for posting and educating others.
This benefits everybody. I don't see a problem, but some people don't like you to do nice things for others.
sidewalk... sure.... but 1/2 the front yard too???? thats too much soil to be by accident. someone covered up all that concrete on purpose to grow a lawn. This went a bit too far IMO, but agree that public sidewalks should always be maintained.
@@JimmyWalta and the homeowner was happy with the work that he did, so idk what the issue is, honestly. 🤷🏻♀️ I appreciate you agreeing that sidewalks are important, though.
Hi! Good news - Mark Consuelos just talked about you on the show "Live with Kelly and Mark"! He said he especially loves watching you do the edging, "so satisfying" !!😂 Congrats on being mentioned on national television! 👏 ❤
Is there a clip on youtube?
@Clancker1223 Yes, but not an "official" clip so it might come down for copyright. I found it just searching "Live with Kelly and Mark" on YT. It's definitely on their show's website, though, too. It's from the March 29th, '24 episode, in the beginning part where they chat, within about the first 5 minutes. Kelly is wearing a red skirt if that helps. 🤣🥰❤️
National TV Hold Spencers beer, RUclips is International, I tune in every week to watch it in the UK. But admittedly he really does deserve a mention on National TV.
@darren25061965 @darren25061965 You're right, my bad. I should've said American National television. I figured since he's in America he'd know what I meant. 😉🥰 That said, each episode of that show gets about 2.5+ million views so it's still kind of a big deal. Regardless, it's all about love and appreciation for Spencer! 💚
That was a ton of work it was amazing all the sidewalk fancy attempts at terracing back in the day. Looks so much better probably took you a couple of days to recover.
I think having to do lawn work sucks, but watching someone else do it is oddly satisfying.
@KevinBigJoe I totally understand
100%!!! I’ve been watching these channels for 3 days now. I never knew they existed until then. It’s like my new fidget
It's like watching my sims do yardwork. Same jolty movements, same cantankerous noises, same surprisingly pleasant asmr feeling.
Only SB Mower isn't drowning in a pool...
Spencer, this kind of blue collar manual labor takes a toll on ones body. Don't forget to take care of yourself. I want you to be happy in your 50s & 60s.All my best.
LOVE the shovel handle!
And start saving now. It goes so fast.
I was thinking the same thing.. but I’m 71 and did a Lot of heavy lifting when I was working and I’m paying the price now.. not my back because I lifted with my arms so some days they are like jelly..lol
My back hurts just watching how hard he works! Well done!
I am 77 and degenerative disc disease and my back hurts after watching this. Take care of your back, your ears, and your eyes.
I don’t know WHAT the heck your BACK is made of, but I know that your HEART is made of Solid Gold ‼️❤️🏆
My back hurts just watching!!!
Yep.. Neil Young we've found that HEART 💚 OF GOLD!!!
I ask that every time I watch him.
Spencer Strongback you are the best 🙏🏼💪😊.
My back is getting destroyed watching this LUL
I mean.. he might do this for free but he is def getting paid by RUclips so he isn't really doing it for free. People who record good deeds to be seen are usually not that great.
I do believe I’d be really shocked if I lived somewhere a long time and no one knew a sidewalk existed and yet there it is. That was a really nice thing for you to do for the neighborhood Spencer.
That sidewalk is now a tripping hazard. It needs replacing.
@@anitamiller7960 He isn’t responsible for replacing it though, the city needs to put that in.
@@anitamiller7960 so was that nasty grass full of holes. At least now you can see where you're going
@@davidjames8331 Full of holes? Seems like the cement underlay would prevent holes from forming, but whatever.
@@anitamiller7960 cement prevents holes in grass? You really learn something new everyday
I am a first time viewer of your channel and now a subscriber. You are such a blessing to many people. An overgrown yard is not always a sign of neglect or laziness. Sometimes it is simply the one living there does not have the physical capacity to do the work nor the financial means to hire it done. Thank you for taking this on. May God richly bless you and your family ♥️🙏
I tell you what. I love the popularity that is happening with people who do stuff like powerwashing, lawn work, carpet cleaning, pool cleaning, hoof trimming, etc. Because it shows how difficult and also cool this kind of work is. So many people want to talk down on these kinds of jobs, yet here we all are enjoying and learning about it through videos like yours. Hope stuff like this becoming popular gets people to respect these kinds of jobs more and maybe even consider them as a career path.
I agree. It takes all kinds of people and jobs to make the world go around.
Boy, that was a tough one, wasn't it! You make a difference, not only with the yards you cut but the friendly, respectful way you talk to everyone! Your Mama has got to be proud of her son!!! Happy trails....❤❤❤
Man, ur so rt on the $!!!!!!! The world needs more of him!
WOW central NY here. I feel your pain Spencer. Take a week off for this one.
He's so respectful no matter who he's speaking with. Gotta love it
I'm happy the owner took the time to come out and thank you for helping her!!! You always do a wonderful job!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Glad RUclips lets us support you easily. I think you do an incredible job. Watched to the end.
Thank you so much!
I'm almost 68 and worked out in the yard yesterday for about 4 hrs pulling weeds and laying mulch. I could hardly move today and turn on Spencer just a working machine. Such a good man!
I shovel 4 inches of fresh snow twice in the last 24 hours . lol
Hahaha...I am 68, and I can relate...😂❤
Didn't work out in the yard. Spencer has me feeling I'd be in traction for a month. Hard work, nice job. 👍
I'm a 72 year old female and other than for raking - which I can do with 15 minute breaks every hour - I limit myself to 3 hours outside a max, even shovelling snow after a blizzard. It will get done, I'm not on pay for hire!
Having the tools for a lot of it definitely helps. That shovel with that little handle probably helps a bit. Probaly something besides your normal cheap garden shovel for sure. The two weedwhacker things, I'm guessing one is like an edger? Then not having to sweep it all up with the blower is probably nice. Obviously picking up the dirt that's scraped off concrete is work, but putting it in a good wheelbarrow isn't to be overlooked. I'm sure that extra stuff only goes so far though.
42:30 is when the interaction starts... sincere and obviously people cared to communicate and assure the homeowner that it was all good.
I was wondering if it was just the clip at the start. Thanks for letting me know! 10 min to go! Lol
This is the kind of thing neighbourhoods need to be doing for each other
All that grass and soil would make some great compost. Good job! Thank you for caring about your town.
That's what I was wondering, if all the dirt and grass that was removed could be mixed up and distributed into compost bins and worm barrels to make some good fertilizer for a garden.
Possibly, but if there's any kind of weeds in there, all it takes is a piece if root 1mm long and you'll have a composter full of weeds
“There’s a famous man mowing your yard.”
What a great line!
🌿🌿🌿
I get when a parent dies and you don't have the means to upkeep their property while you try to sell. If i were her I'd be hugging you Spencer. You saved her so much money.
No doubt...that job likely would have cost well over a thousand dollars for some landscaping companies just based on the time spent alone.
Well, I think she can do little by little.
@@mariaflorian5300Do what little by little?
It will cost her way more than $1000 when someone trips and falls because of the busted up side walk and decides to sue the property owner.
It looks nice though.
@pocketchange3543 that's what I came here to say. It was much safer when it was just grass covering the sidewalk. I'd be pissed
Coming to a neighborhood near you! Spencer goes everywhere. You never know where he will be. This has to be one of the craziest sidewalk reveals yet. And how crazy is it that she nor some of the neighbors don't have curbs? 😮
Spence is amazing. Blessing to you and your family 🙏🏽
You're the " Sidewalk Whisperer!" If ones there you're going to find it.
Bravo!! 👏🏾👏🏾
It's truly a 21st century moment when a lawnmower has become a famous person people are excited about
tbh, that kinda sounds like something that would be from an older century.
I agree that's pretty awesome man. He didn't need no producer, no developer, no backer. Just set up a camera and got to work cutting yards and now hes wildly successful.
Wildly successful? Merely two million subscribers and the amount of views that his videos have do not really generate that much money. And it most definitely is not considered famous.
@@eirikheggelund How much does he earn per video, then?
@@Gandhi_PhysiqueI would not know. But perhaps somewhere around $3000 USD per month.
"Some famous guy is mowing your lawn..." I love it. You know, that seems like a very "involved" neighborhood. Looks like the folks that live there have, for the most part, been there for many years. Nice to see.
I would have thought, "Involved" neighbors would have helped maintained the property.
@@pocketchange3543 Perhaps. How do you participate in your neighborhood to help your neighbors?
LOL! Exactly.@@pocketchange3543
@@pocketchange3543bro shut up lmao how many of your neighbors lawns do you maintain?
@@pocketchange3543 come on...
What an incredible young man. God bless you. What a kind and giving heart you have.
That guy didn’t speak much English but tried to make conversation ❤❤❤ reminded me of my father in law❤ ❤ ❤
You deserve something extra for what had to be one of the most labor-intensive jobs you've done yet! And in the rain, to boot!
Just to mention that he's getting back thousands with ads revenus his channel is generating.
@@MaximeBrochu it doesn't matter, he's doing this massive labor job for free for other people. He definitely deserves everything he gets.You're also watching this for free, so you have zero rights to say anything. Just sit your ass back, enjoy and stfu.
@@MaximeBrochuwhich is 1000% deserved
This is just my opinion but, I think a better way to support Spenser, is to buy some of his merch instead. A lot of people don't know this but, RUclips keeps a cut of any donations you send through them. If you buy his merch, RUclips gets nothing, and he gets the full amount, and then you get some lovely merch in the process. After this video, I went to his store and purchased the I'm Sexy And I Mow It shirt. I think it will get a few chuckles from folks who see it. lol
@@craftistic82 I agree!
I used to make fun of my neighbors dad when he would watch an hour of a fishing show on TV. I would say junk like why don't you just go fishing instead...snicker snicker. Now here I am watching an hour of mowing...snickering has stopped. But it is so satisfying
these videos function as motivation to get me cleaning up the yard.
I used to say the same about kids watching youtube vids of others playing video games then go watch footy not realizing the hypocrisy lmao.
Fishing takes a lot less effort than digging up a ton of dirt.
There's a difference between being too lazy to fish and too lazy to cut somebody's overgrown lawn for free. lol. SlowTV is great though.
Honestly this is way more interesting to me than watching fishing. I can fish, big deal. But I’m not sure I could do this job the way he did.
Me sigue impresionando que casi nadie te de un vaso de agua, un refrigerio, algo... Lo que haces es maravilloso!!
You are surely a Good Man. Thank you for the Love You are Spreading.
43:04 "Hey, there's a famous guy cutting your yard..."
You ARE famous!
And not just in the US. I'm watching from Australia.
and I'm a fan from Canada 🇨🇦
Am watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲,good job Spencer.
Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I’m watching from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
If there’s a sidewalk Spencer will surely find it! Great job!!
🤣Not sure that it wasn't safer to leave the overgrown grass rather than the broken concrete to walk on.
I wonder if home oener wanted it covered up. The neighbor let theirs grow over also.
I don’t see any sidewalks on either side of side of the street. They may have let it grow over on purpose. Where I live home owner is responsible for damage to sidewalks, if someone is injured due to uneven, or ice wet leaves, it could fall back on homeowner. Easier to just mow over it. JMO
For once, I hate to say it but that broken-up thing might have been better to stay covered! At least her grass was full and green.
@@sharebare3941I though the same thing
I have to congratulate you on sticking with this project. It shows that your commitment is solid and even though it may be hard work you are a person who backs up their promises.
This is hard work. Love to watch stuff like this. I was moved to bless you. Love from Singapore.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
This was more an archeological dig than a mowing job! My favorite is watching you do the edging, weed eating, and blower to find the sidewalks. This is my favorite episode so far!!
yes it was and he found the mythical missing sideways🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
some say he's still out there looking for more mythical missing sideways to this day🤣🤣🤣🤣
ha i was thinking the same thing
"A man discovered sidewalks, whole neighborhood shocked."
maybe the grass was safer than cracked slabs? hopefully the local council repairs the slabs now
I was shocked at that neighbor's attitude. Cleaning up that property adds to the value of his own.
Same. What was his problem? I would be stoked if someone did that to a house in my neighborhood
And therefore higher taxes
Also seems like he just dump the dirt and grass in front of his drive way
@@RunningGrass-we7tm You're a glass-half-empty kind of person, aren't you?
One problem is going to be the sidewalks when she goes to sell. They may or may not be. Good job though
Your tenacity is quite remarkable!! You’re a good man Spencer!!
Hallo, I´am in Czech republic.... Our video is very soothing and inspiring !
Using myself as an example, I find it humorous how much I hate doing yardwork, but this is so satisfying to watch! 🤣
I appreciate a good yard, and I really appreciate when someone else does it 😂
Same. My yard is starting to look rough but it keeps raining and I keep using that as an excuse not to do anything about it.
Its easy to appreciate a good yard. Its a lot harder to maintain a good yard. Same goes for cooking, thats why cooking videos on youtube have so many views.
This is a trap, I got inspired by his videos, then my back reminds me why I hate it...
I smoke a joint and roll one up for after. Then I go beast mode on my yard. When I'm done I spark up my other joint and marvel about how beautiful and clean it looks. It's very satisifying.
How gratifying is it to hear "I follow you " from the neighbors? It makes all the hard work worthwhile.
We all “LOVE” you Spencer! You are totally awesome and a hard worker. You deserve to R&R. 👍🏼💯😊
You are a loving, caring, giving man. Thank you for all you do to make life easier for others. God Bless You. I RoccoMend this channel.
As a fellow gardener myself I can tell each & everyone of your viewers you make this look at least 200% easier than it actually is so it’s a massive well done from me 🏆🥳 🙏
Using those tools is exactly like how he's showing it. What else?
@@garymitchell5899 All the timelapse makes it look a lot faster than it really is.
Oh Gary….
You don’t seem to understand that power tools exert as much force on the user as the object. Sure it makes the job easier, but it’s still 25lbs being held for hours and it’s still torquing your joints.
Go do it yourself if you think power tools make this easy.
@@paulwilliams667 Yeah if you watch the video you'll notice he's using a spade most of the time. A non- powered spade.
That strimmer isn't producing 25lb of force on him, don't be silly.
@@paulwilliams667 It's ironic that the OPs point is that people don't appreciate how power tools work, which is exactly what you've done.
I love your grit & determination, your "Whatever it takes" attitude Spencer. Your the man. Godspeed
Absolutely beautiful and amazing . 💙
I cn truly appreciate your dedication and completely understand the intensive labor and strength such a project demands. 🌹
I am 76 years old and yard work has become extremely challenging for my body. Need to take a couple minute breaks after only aroun 10 - 15 minutes mowing or weeding, edging, etc. 🌹

The government/ council should pay you for your efforts. You deserve it and much much more. What a man
im going down there to trip, and then sue the city
He gets more than paid for the job in the video.
He almost as 2 million subs dude, je's making A LOT of money off this channel haha I think a lot of people forget that.
I actually just read through his website. From what it seems, he went viral almost instantly. From then on, he quit his new IT job out of college and helps out for "free".
Having millions of subs doesn't automatically translate into money. I know a girl who does reaction videos with her husband and they have over 1M subs and she makes more money bartending than she does from youtube. Its just a hobby
That sidewalk shoveling has got to be the toughest. Glad you've got a better shovel for it. A1 Spencer! (written before the mentioning of the site for that handle!)
It is so satisfying to see these transformations. You can’t fake this for content.
I think you are such a kind, loving man to to all this hard work for free and for people you don't even know. God Bless you!!!!
Spencer, that drone shot at the end was awesome! Hopefully we will see more of that. Here's another tip: carry some SB shirts in your truck and hand them out to anyone you feel like. You will be at 2M and beyond in no time, even without those shirts. Thanks for what you do!
Great idea!😊🎉
I really enjoy when, through the magic of editing, you leave the screen on the right, then immediately re-enter on the left. Then again, I am easily entertained by the bird that dips its beak in a glass of water for hours at a time.
Yup, I imagined a magic portal just for Spencer and his wheelbarrow!
editing??? He has clones that's why he's able to do it without hurting himself
@@ericdodson3630 Clones! That makes so much more sense! Now, I feel like such a dope...

Watching this video and admiring that Spencer -you have really outdone yourself. It's an inspirational transformation. Focus and determination. Blessings to you and your family! Your sponsors are blessed to have you ! Have a great 2024 ! Prayers to you from Texas!
Watching you serve others, regardless of their position on future yard care, brightens my outlook on life. I admire your hard work and service to others, young man.
That is just crazy,, wow where on earth do you go with that much grass and dirt, I hope that neighborhood appreciates what you do. wow
I stand to be corrected but I do not think Spencer removes dirt and lawn cuttings from property's..
@@jamescosgrave626
He does. He used to include it when he took it to the dump-as in the total weight.
In other videos he shows himself taking it to the dump.
Used to is the word
I think someone may want all that topsoil unless it had stickers in it. This change is awesome, but if I saw that someone had done that to my easy care lawn, I would be super upset. I always felt behind on work when I didn't edge the walk.
You are such a hard worker. I wish more people took your example to clean up this world. God bless you
Mama touched his spirit for him to even go down that street 🙏🏾🙏🏾 she smiling just how the family remembers her smile
No way! The neighbor was so nice coming over to let you know how long that sidewalk was buried. Over 20 years, if he moved in 20 years ago. And the curbs were so bad. I'm surprised the city never said anything about the sidewalk and curbs. My town would have been issuing fines left and right. My town would also make the owner fix the broken sidewalk. If done correctly, they could pour right over the old sidewalk instead of digging it out as well. Not the case in my town. We have to dig out the broken areas and put in new. All those hidden expenses of owning a home. I, like you, fixed up our yard for family functions. We had several trees around 250 years old, and some only 75-100 years old. Sunshine and shade all day. It was a beautiful yard. ❤😊 Great job Spencer. The neighbors and owner are deeply touched by your hands and generosity. ❤😊
Look at the neighbouring properties in the drone shots. Look at the trees and the pathways on the other properties. This isn't a city sidewalk. It's just a fancy decorative path, with circular features, that the erstwhile owner put on their own property. Then it got built over by a wheelchair access ramp and left to decay.
@@JdeBP Yep. None of the other properties have sidewalks.
When you live in forgotten parts like this yeah the city doesn’t care
@@JdeBPHanks. I was marveling of the design and I was wondering if there were any other hidden gems. Too bad it's all cracked up but it does look a little mosaic.
What a wonderful transformation. You out did yourself this time! So glad the owner came by and thanked you. PS Where did all the dirt and grass go?
Spencer, the King of the Corner Lots strikes again!!
Thank you for gracing that neighborhood with your time,expertise, and compassion!! Also enjoyed your videography and the fact you mentioned how long it took! We often wonder,but it's so hard to tell after all of the time spurts and editing are completed....Fantastic job!!!
Watching your work is so satisfying especially the before and after shots🎉Great job and God bless you for being a blessing to others❤
I admire your patience and made it possible for the neighborhood to finally discover that there is a sidewalk! My hats off to you for your patience and hard work! More power bro your channel! God bless🌹🌺🌼
I’ve watched a LOT of these SB videos and I’m continually amazed at how casually people respond to this guy breaking his back to clean up their mess. FOR FREE, no less. I would be thanking him to the moon and back.
And getting him cold water at the least!
Doesn’t surprise me, look at their gardens. Most of them could care for it themselves. They don’t do it because THEY DONT CARE. And if somebody does it. Yea well do it but I never asked for it I won’t step foot on this as well after it’s done.
Usually entitled people who have been on entitlement programs their whole life.they probably felt “owed” that someone do their work for free. Disgusting. I’m surprised i didn’t see more comments like this cause i was thinking the same thing when the homeowner seemed very ungrateful
@@miggymane223I am sure she was not happy about the fact that before she had a huge lawn and no pedestrians around her house and now half of that lawn is obviously public property and will be pedestrian traffic
I'm sorry but I didn't see the part where the owner was not happy, can you specify the timestamp?
My husband and I enjoy watching your videos. What fun to see the before and after.
You are a wonderful example of making the world a much better place...one yard at a time.
You display honest respect, kindness, and graciousness to those you encounter. You portray perseverence, diligence, and focus in your work.
We watched this video to the end.
YOU put in long hours and intense labor, and you didn't quit, so neither did we. 😊
We were amazed at the amount of dirt you shoveled and hauled. It was worth the wait to see such a nice outcome.
As ALWAYS...👍👍👍
You are so dedicated to your work! It’s always a pleasure to watch you transform these properties ! Get some rest one in a while though!
This was an awful big task for just one person. Thank you for inspiring people to help others, not just with money but thru the hard works of labor and a genuine big heart.
A round of applause for you, Spencer! 👏👏👏 I think its insane that even the lady who lived there had no idea about the sidewalk.
👏👏👏👏👏

Whenever I think of going to gym, I watch his videos then I feel fit already 💪
My son used to do concrete work on summers while in college. He still sounds proud when he points out something his team created. Whoever created this may be long gone but if not they must be so happy you brought their hard work back to being something useful. I love to watch you!
Thank you for making this land precious and beautiful
That B body Delta 88 and Box Caprice as well as that C10 in the neighbors driveway were awesome. This has to be one of the most extensive yard clean ups Spencer had done, and it was also nice to see some old classic vehicles as well.
It's really nice of you to do this for people! I hope you get offered a (hot) meal and coffee or tea while you're so busy. ❤
You can see the sidewalk from top of the helicopter flyby. That's crazy. I'm glad he's finished up and gone home. 😮
I sooooo agree.. I was wondering if anyone even offers him a cold bottle of water 💦
Wow, excellent work! I have a tip for you. Next time you lock your keys in your vehicle, call a taxi cab. They’ll open your car for usually around $25.00…love the video.
You are a great Neighbor in the sense that you saw something that would make a neighborhood look and feel better. You did it not expecting anything but a big job well done! It was worth doing because You knew it was. This neighborhood looks and feels nicer and may well have less vandalism and less trash thrown around because it looks like people care. Now people can use that instead of walking in the street. You have made a difference!
Ah, well done mate. You should be so proud of the service you provide to people. I think it's amazing anyway. I watch every video with enjoyment. Here watching in the UK
Bless you, I made it! Rest for sure, I was like, this young man is super worked out. ❤
Ever hear the extremely old joke saying _"I like work, it fascinates me. I could sit and watch it for hours"_ ?
I think it's from the late 1800's. I've heard it said several times in the past, but only now with these vids has it taken on a whole other level of meaning. I have no idea why watching these yard cleanup vids are so enjoyable but I'll be damned if that saying isn't truer than ever.
As someone who also does lawn work/construction for my neighbourhood, hauling dirt suckssss and its way heavier than you think specially from grass roots. I’ve built gardens for people and digging up lawns is back breaking but kinda fun knowing the finished product will brighten someone’s day. Keep up the good work man 👍
Man, that was a massive amount of sidewalk!! Thank God you didn’t have to dig up a concrete driveway, too!! Much respect to you!!
The owner aint gonna be too happy when code enforcement comes around and starts ticketing for an unsafe sidewalk which she will have to pay for out of her own pocket to get it back up to code .....should cost around $5,000 to replace the entire sidewalk......great job helping out the owner there.....smh
@@johnjames4567 Those who can, do. Those you can’t, criticize. And, I’ve never heard of a single family dwelling homeowner being required to replace or repair a public sidewalk. In your reasoning, if leaving it covered satisfies the code, the owner can dump some top soil over it and seed it. But, replacing the sidewalk is the city’s responsibility, particularly since it’s not ADA compliant.
@@johnjames4567I was thinking the same thing!
@@Chris_Comments Not sure about the US but in Europe you tend to have rules where your property line is to the street BUT the city requires a sidewalk. And if any work is done, like a total rebuild of the sidewalk, everybody in that street pays part of the costs for their portion. So if you have a corner property, you enjoy a nice big bill, vs a single sidewalk / less wide home. Again, depends on the country but we have had those nice bills when they redid the sidewalk. Nothing for the street itself as that is public but the sidewalk is "your" property... where your forced to have a sidewalk, yep, bill!
There is also a issue of responsibility. If that sidewalk we see above, somebody trips because of its damaged state, it can fall back on the house owner. Before they are able to argue, there was no clear sidewalk with it overgrown but now...
@@benjiro8793 let me educate you here sweetheart. One reason we pay a stupid amount of taxes on everything here in the USA, because usually the government takes care of most public sidewalks/streets/parks etc
Absolutely insane! That's easily a 4 man job at least. I would be out of commission for a month if I tried to do this now. Definitely a young man's endeavor! Awesome work!
She better stick a for sale sign in the front asap!
Extremely pointless too. What a waste of everyone's time. Why would any idiot clear out an abandoned yard? Makes zero sense.
@@rickwilliams967lol you're telling me you can't think of ONE single positive about his work? Shows your lack of intelligence and your rotten attitude 💀💀
Amazing job! I can’t believe the city did not maintain the sidewalk to begin with…Thanks for sharing!
when you start relying on the state for everything it all crumbles
Some local Govt. force homeowners to maintain the sidewalks. They'll refuse a CO and prevent selling it, until the home owner installs new sidewalk.
Cannot understand why neighbours are never energised into helping guys like this. I'm 70 this year but I'd be out there giving him a hand.
You know why.
@@SlingshotMustang 😅 i really don't... But I don't necessarily want to help work on someone else's yard... If a neighbor asked then sure, but I got other shit to do... Is that the reason?
The culture has changed. Late-stage capitalism has put people into a position of immense struggle and poverty. Because of this people are increasingly selfish, crime has increased, and communities have degraded or disappeared. Don't believe me? Take a college class on sociology or at the very least google what it is if you are unfamiliar. Either way you will regret it because ignorance is bliss.
@@Kinuhbud That wasn't the reason. The reason was because look at the demographics of that area lmao. They never maintain their stuff, everything they have is always broken, run down, and destroyed, and it's like that wherever you find them. They don't take care of their own stuff, much less someone else's stuff. Everyone knows this. Yet I see comments on RUclips all the time where people are pretending to be blissfully ignorant lmao. Like when you see a news story about them looting and burning a city, people write "where were their parents at? Why are they so angry?"... it's like, dude just look at the skin color. There's your answer, stop pretending to be unaware lmao.
@@SlingshotMustang I can feel the racist energy emanating from this comment lol. It's definitely more toward the other guy's explanation. If you don't like black people, you're better off just saying it outright, instead of trying to barely conceal it. Wear your racism proudly. Every other one of your people on the internet do.
❤ thank you for the your generosity in helping others in need..from New York
Look, I actually love your videos especially before I go to sleep. Everything is so satisfying but my favorite part is you digging up the dirt😭 pls never stop making your videos you’re awesome.
I’ve never questioned your integrity, honesty or skills. I’m am, after watching this, questioning your sanity ! 🤩🤩🤩
Wow!! That was some major work you did Spencer!! An incredible transformation! I'd love to see you go back to this property one day to do the backyard and maybe some more manicure work on the trees/bushes and such out front. Have a great Easter weekend! PS; I can't believe the GFM you set up for Edgar & Ivy's Rescue Mission has reached almost 172 thousand. That is unbelievable!!
Watching from Australia Spencer God bless you, you must be a godsend for people who have mostly truthful reasons as to why they cannot do the job themselves. I have medical problems myself, so I can understand problems people may have, but as another subscriber said, please take care of yourself, as you work so hard for others, once again God bless you for being the person you are!🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏👍👍👍👍👍
This looks like an awesome neighborhood, with everybody stopping by and showing your respect and gratitude. It is inspiring from multiple levels and views.
Why did you not mower it first, then dig ,where in the world you putting all that grass?
I feel like the first guy who came by and seemed uninterested is the one who occasionally mows it and is a bit upset he is being shown up and losing the $20 for mowing the front
"Famous Guy", 😂 I love it! Dude, you're famous! You are the man now! Thanks for all you do!
You are a very special and wonderful person! -Kim
I live in New Zealand and ive been following and watching your videos for a couple of years now... this was an amazing service though... Major difference❤ Keep it up. You are awesome 👌
It's great when you get to meet the owner and they're appreciative.
My daughter and I were talking a few days ago and she brought up your channel. I raised her well! 😁
You pick the worst yards to work on!!! I feel sorry for you because you have no one to help you. That is extremely hard work, back breaking work!! God bless you for helping so many people get their property looking new again!!
You do an amazing job!!!!!!
🥰💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks! That was very impressive work you did, and you did it out of the kindness of your heart. Amazing person you are
Thank you so much for the support!!
I noticed several people walking down the street in the video. Now they have a sidewalk to walk down....as long as they don't break an ankle! Great job Spencer!!
Most city folk won't use a sidewalk if it was brand new
Probably would have had an easier job selling it if people didn't know the sidewalk was there. Not sure anyone wants to replace it given they didn't even bother redoing it when putting in ramp and stairs but is nice to have the street sidewalk uncovered maybe city will finially fix it but may put that on homeowner as well.
You are so much fun to watch, and that owner, I could tell they were anxious when first coming to talk to you but your personality instantly reassured her that you're nobody nefarious and you're there to help. Keep it up man! I hope youtube is paying you what you're worth for the work you're doing and the entertainment you bring.
