Just found this video; you guys worked like dogs cleaning that up and finally down to the original dirt after almost 200 years. Amazingly satisfying to watch.
Wow! This vid gives you a good idea about how much WORK goes into taking something from neglected to completely transformed and cared-for. Excellent stuff!
Love your blog! What a labor of love. The colors are just beautiful. Like the kitchen shutters even if they aren't fully functional. I didn't have time to go through all the pix but will come back to them. Good job!
Wow. Just a few men using basic hand tools . Just goes to show you what hard work can accomplish. Nowadays seems like no one wants to work that hard anymore. My hat is off to all of you.
Whilst the video contains the preparation ahead of adding things to the area, it punctuates just how much work is involved in getting some of these old yards ready for adding plants and other shinies. To me, it also shows the value of a "clean slate". Without knowing what you have to contend with, it is difficult to make plans for plot. In my case, we once lived in an area where we were constantly digging up old pieces of metal car parts, star pickets and old bottles. We soon learned that it was the site of an old tip more than three decades before. There were a lot of houses in the area that were built on former small tips.
WOW! A big job! I wonder how long that had been neglected. No idea why some people expected to see it transformed as the heading states Garden Clearance. Great job!
Please make a part 2 to this video. I would love to see the finished product. That was peculiarly interesting. Good job! I’m so thankful to God I don’t have to do that type work.
I was thinking the same through the whole video, like the history of that soil, like all the children who may have played there, the laundry that may have hung on lines to dry out there, or the sweet young💜 lovers who may have sat & talked about their future, possibly even marriage proposals were accepted there. Honestly we'll never know. I wish so much they'd had a metal detector or let a professional or two look through the beautiful, rich, black soil in the dumpster near the streets curb. When these types of comments or questions come up no one responds to them like they do other questions, so I guess we get our ever so sad answer from their silence.😿
@@voodoomelons Hello, I hope you're well. I'm just wondering if you or your men found anything in the soil? I'm not one to care about gold & riches I'm so curious if there were any children's toys found or old wooden clothesline clips. I hope you can understand why some of us are so interested. This soil over the years has collected history day after day for more than a 150 years. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video, I hope my questions are not rude, I only ask out of loving curiosity thank you💙
Very smart film, and so nice to see music credits. Now I can go find the nice music, thank you. Wish more you tube people gave the music credit, worthless to watch them otherwise, just scammed. Love the film👍
Congratulations to you guys a really good job done there the only thing which I would of kept was all that beautiful green ivy on the walls just love it growing on walls. Apart from that brilliant job proper grafters xx
Would that small brick foundation be for a long forgotten privvy? If so you should dig it out and look for antique bottles and whatnot that were thrown away as trash.
Yep, it was a 1900s outhouse, a Victorian drain lies beneath. Not much in the way of finds in that area, but plenty of items throughout the garden were found.
I think it's interesting to see what they DID dig up. Bottles, tins, lots of stuff. And did anyone see they had to dig right down to uncover a sidewalk. Great music. It fit the task!
@@EndofNothing182 it's high in organic matter possibly from years of vegetive growth breaking down or being used as a dump for household kitchen waste there would be hardly any other only ashes from fire places.After some years the soil in my garden is similar due to judiscous use of the compost bin on an already alluvial base.
Great job lads, nice old yard, I'd love to see more of the property and surrounding area. That lid for the Singletons Eye Ointment pot @7:15 is 200 years old, maybe older, they date from 1760 - 1830. Where abouts in Dundalk was this?
LoL watching the video all I could think was they'd find 200 or 300year old coins , gold or jewels, then I thought nope there's bones in that there garden. LoL but nope they didn't tell us anything that they'd found. Hey, It's Okay, It's cool all us who've watched know they found a bunch of Treasures, But then I think them people from England are so modest, private & humble, they don't want us in their business that's what it is. That's the Truth you know (of course in my opinion)🤗 LoL 💜🙏💜
@Duke Of Prunes you're right, & I also understand that in the "old world" countries as England or Ireland & many others, 200 years or300 years are not that old in the scale of things. Many people have found true Treasures going back thousands& thousands of years but in America just to find some coins from the year 1882 is enough to knock your socks off. Just another big difference between America & well... everywhere else.😸 LoL I honestly don't think we have anythingthing that could be referred to as "ancient artifact". They're dug up some dinosaur bones, I'm aware of this but that's it I believe. Lol 🤗
So Amazing garden!! Preparate to new life! So loved vid and music and people work's,my respects. Note: "Oh mom,in Spain not work with rain" This is work.
You did a huge job there. Nice to watch, and I loved the music choice. I wondered why you kept going in that low door, but then I saw it was a passage out on the street.
Consider making a shadow box display featuring before and after snaps of the garden... and include the tile bit, cosmetics jar and a few other things found during the renovation.
Thanks for watching! Still a work in progress, whole garden has been dropped another 12" and is currently being cleared of all rubble. :) goo.gl/photos/oXXzUFjKkKYZdqhZ7
Voodoo Melon The floors of some of the Titanic and Olympic (and probably Brittanic) decks were lined with tiles that had an identical design to the one featured in the video.
No doubt, it's a common Victorian pattern. Titanic's shipyards are under an hour away from the house, again common designs prevail throughout local areas.
That is probably some of the best compost dirt and it looks like they are throwing it in a landfill? I don't know how things are done in Ireland but a roll-off in the States equals landfill. I'd love to have that compost for my garden!
It requires so much effort to do this sort of excavation. We faced similar problems of moving material out to the street in a house we lived in in San Francisco. $$$$! There is something to be said for living on acreage when you can drive a digger in an remove all of that soil!
Amazing. My back is aching just by watching this! What a gorgeous blank canvas to begin the next stage!
An astounding amount of work for such a small area. I'm so used to gardening in red clay, that black Irish soil looks like gold lol.
Just found this video; you guys worked like dogs cleaning that up and finally down to the original dirt after almost 200 years. Amazingly satisfying to watch.
Done manually AND through the rain! Hats off to you boys! I hope you were well paid and appreciated.
Wow! This vid gives you a good idea about how much WORK goes into taking something from neglected to completely transformed and cared-for. Excellent stuff!
Awesome job!
Wow what a video! the music makes me feel like I should be gardening! An abandoned sad spot, refreshed and renewed by human care, lovely.
Love your blog! What a labor of love. The colors are just beautiful. Like the kitchen shutters even if they aren't fully functional. I didn't have time to go through all the pix but will come back to them. Good job!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the blog. 😁
Glorious. Completing a job like this so rewarding
Wow. Just a few men using basic hand tools . Just goes to show you what hard work can accomplish. Nowadays seems like no one wants to work that hard anymore. My hat is off to all of you.
Good music always makes watching other people working more enjoyable.

Jesus those guys worked bloody hard in clearing that yard. You are a credit to your selves.
Please make a part 2 to this video. I would love to see the finished product. That was peculiarly interesting. Good job! I’m so thankful to God I don’t have to do that type work.
Whoever gets all that organic packed soil is going to have lovely veggies and/or flowers!
Excellent music choice
I thought so, thanks!
By far the best , actually
andrew england Who is this?

Voodoo Melon What's the name of the first track? :)
Nice,fulfilling work. The soil they removed looked nice and black, rich...
What a transformation! You all done well, that was a lot of soil removed. A stump grinder will fix that stump that was left. Great work 👍
This is an amazing work!! Hard work!! Must be fulfilling to see the end result!!
Wow. Hats off to those laborers! That looked like a ton of work.
Not why I came to RUclips but I am pleased with the results
I like the wall texture. Ideal to make a colonial garden.
No idea why this video was in my recommend videos section but I bloody love it!
Haha, great!
A lot of hard work, lucky you had the guy with the red hoodie he seem to do most of the work for the lads :)
Alan Byrne everyone has this one friend....😛😂😅
Hahaha he must have been the property owner! Aka the supervisor!
Great video and music! Top shelf thanks for posting! Going to watch more!
Great job ,Glad to see there are still good quality tradesmen still to be found, see the paved finished video on this site just a good
Really great job!! Love the result, hope the landscaping turns out well. Music was fun
i cant believe that only took 4 days. wow great job guys.
wow!! totally amazing video. sums up completely the beauty of you tube. LOVE IT!!
Waiting for part 2 and part three. Great start, hard working guys.
That is some back breaking work! Job well done!
Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day !
Beautiful to see it all change.. and great music while watching..👌
OK I just watch them dig dirt out and I thought there was going to be so beautiful outcome to this video. So for me it was a swing and a miss!
Scott H this is pre-landscaping
Scott H would like to see the finished landscaping
Me too.
Thanks for the heads up ! Moving on .
Scott H Wait really? I gotta look for the second part then.
Great work guys! And i loved the bottle collection you unearthed
As a Canadian archeologists ( to whom a 150 years is a lot of time), this was a bit traumatic...
At least you kept the big pieces...
Sarah Langlois-Luna agreed, I kept waiting for treasures to be shown, bottles, cans, whatever... 🤤
Should of called us we could of sat by dumpster with screen!

120 years or more of natural composting built up all that extra topsoil...pretty amazing.
The guy at the end on his hands and knees, I applaud you 👏👏👏👏
Good work! I loved seeing all the things you found. Gonna check out your blog now...
Jo Raine thanks for watching!
I was watching closely and not 1 beer break 😲😲 that was a great video fellas 😉
Congratulations to you guys a really good job done there the only thing which I would of kept was all that beautiful green ivy on the walls just love it growing on walls. Apart from that brilliant job proper grafters xx

Молодцы!!! Такую работу проделали!!! Класс!!!👍👍👍
Awesome work, guys! What a difference! Cheers!
strong human labor; love these fast forward videos.
Man the soil over there must be amazing for veggies. Awesome stuff
I love watching this kind of video. Very satisfying. I wish I could clean like this and fast too because I would have it all done in 1 hour :)
Great work guys! Greetings from Venezuela.
Jonás Daniel Palma Loaiza Fantastic! How's the weather over there?
Very good, now sunny, but northern on the Caribbean huracan had made so many damage! :(
Jonás Daniel Palma Loaiza that's terrible, stay safe!
Fantastic stone wall , I would love to see this garden now ..
Fabulous! Loved watching.
I think it's interesting to see what they DID dig up. Bottles, tins, lots of stuff. And did anyone see they had to dig right down to uncover a sidewalk. Great music. It fit the task!
Oh those antique treasures at the end!
Awesome job guys awesome video ,loved the music the video coverage everything 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wish there where more videos like this, so satisfying to watch.
Wow that was fun; pls do a part 2 with lots of creative stuff.
What did you do with that rich, dark, earth you removed? I hope it went to a worthy garden!
ClassyGeek my thoughts exactly!
Likely full of lead and other contaminants
That was all I could think of as it was going out!
Why is it so dark anyway? I know dirt is different everywhere but is there a specific reason it is dark and more blackish than brown dirt

Where abouts in Dundalk was this?
Nice job. I love the music too. 😃
It was a lot of work. Congratulations!
What!? No bodies?
Scott Spiro no we buried them on the other side of the road 😉😉😉😉
I took them.

Bodies generally are deeper
Wow that was a lot of soil accumulation in such a small space.
Also that soil is beautiful . . . looks rich.
Wow lots of hard work, nice job
So Amazing garden!!
Preparate to new life!
So loved vid and music and people work's,my respects.
Note:
"Oh mom,in Spain not work with rain"
This is work.
What a satisfying job to do !!!! love clearing out stuff ,,,
So many cool artifacts were probably just thrown out here; old coins etc.
You did a huge job there. Nice to watch, and I loved the music choice.
I wondered why you kept going in that low door, but then I saw it was a passage out on the street.
this is what I call labouring.. lovely result for all that hard work, guys. and yes, what happened to all that lovely soil?
Consider making a shadow box display featuring before and after snaps of the garden... and include the tile bit, cosmetics jar and a few other things found during the renovation.
It's what we call hard work and patient
The music made it worth watching a lot of manual back breaking work for a yard of dirt.
Huge effort guys. Nice video, thank you.
Great video, cool music, liked it a lot!
I would love to see a follow up. Painted? planted grass? fixed the masonry?
I need to hire these guys ... wow!
That was great. I hope you make one showing what you did with the space.
Thanks, will stick up a picture in a few weeks, the grass is growing well.
Yes, wonderful cleanup. I would love to see a final transformation though. It's still so depressing!
Great music!!! I want to cry from happiness!!
Weirdly fascinating. My back hurts by looking at it.
Awesome and hard job. Congrats gents! How many tone's you moved out!?
Nice looking soil you are taking out
Well how oddly satisfying .....👍🏻👍🏻🖖although have to admit I've been a landscape Gardner 20 years
Good job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Man, these guys worked their arses off....a small backhoe could have done it in a quarter of the time though...still well done boys.
MR V I'm guessing access was the issue here
A micro digger would have actually fit through the rear doorway, however we only found this out afterwards. :)
One to grow on... and then excavate.
Voodoo Melon vodoo
MR V I
Inspired me to clean up my backyard🙂
Satisfying to watch! What about the result? :-)
Thanks for watching! Still a work in progress, whole garden has been dropped another 12" and is currently being cleared of all rubble. :)

Can you post a link to the rest of the work putting in the garden? I kept thinking during this video "all that rich black soil going to waste!'
With this kind of effort, I'm sure garden beauty will follow!
That is probably some of the best compost dirt and it looks like they are throwing it in a landfill? I don't know how things are done in Ireland but a roll-off in the States equals landfill. I'd love to have that compost for my garden!
Phenominal job guys - sad to see the creepers decimated but I suppose that was the brief eh?
Tough work. Will there be a follow up?
Did you ever get the tree stump out of the corner? A reciprocating saw and a good wood blade makes it easy.
The stump is still there, garden has since filled with rubble again and final clearance will be in a few months!
Well done! Really hard graf doing that by hand.
Did you say time lapse? I thought us Irish naturally work at that speed lol cracking job well done lads
Belfast Soul work fast to get to the good part of the day!! *wink*
Holy sweet 8 and a half pound baby Jesus, that was a J O B! But it looks so nice now!
fantastic ...how do I watch the next one please ...from Queensland x
I love the song choice!
This is a great video!! :-) We would love to see the after video as well. :-)
Work hard, young people! almost an archeological work!
Irish foliage and weeds be thicker than their wool sweaters.
Nicolas Fredette haha fantastic!
Nicolas Fredette aye😂😂
