I've never been so relieved than when you brought out that Ventrac(?) with the scoop. I was actually feeling sick for you thinking you would be shoveling until you dropped from the sheer magnitude of that task. Awesome job.
Al: I have always wondered how you are confident enough to go into the tall grass at these homes. I cannot believe you got a spider bite, know there are coral snakes, and know there's alligators on the property, and you just keep going. No big deal. You are so brave AND hardworking.
Yeah, I was wondering the same, especially after he was told about the snake. I was out in a field of turnip greens. I never dawned on me about anything cause my mind was set on free greens. Suddenly I felt something cold/ wet on one of my legs. I calmly pulled my pant leg up and it was a green frog.🐸 I gently took it off and then I freaked out.😖😟😧😳 I was happy it wasn't a snake.🐉
You’ve actually inspired me to start a side hustle of garden maintenance 😁. I work in a bank for a living, so it’s super stressful, and the relief I get from earning some extra cash by doing something I like is something else!!
Oh my gosh Al, you being able to roll up that grass and dirt reminds me of when my husband, son and I removed the ivy lawn from our front yard! The roll got so large we couldn’t move it, luckily some guys showed up with a wench and dump truck and hauled it off, they were lifesavers!
You did some outstanding work here and for free I might add. I didn't think I'd ever spend this much time on a video, but here I am on part two. Well done and thanks for your effort in your local area.
Al, on Fill's lawn care videos, he has a wire brush on a roller. It's over a foot long. He uses it by the curbs to grind off any dirt and debris. Goes right through it. He attaches it to a weed whacker. Works really good! You should look into it. He's the only guy I've seen that has one of those. You're going to be really worn out after this property....you are a tremendous fellow!
I watch Fil too...love his equipment. And he's in North Idaho so I'm hoping sharing w/people up there will get more motivated...but I started by watching Al....
AL, that brush FIL has is awesome! Would’ve whipped right through that gawd-awful drive. Could save your back in so many ways. None of us want you to be in pain or to get older & unable to walk upright. 😢
I’ve had it for many years in Long Island…it’s the Stihl Kombi system. I have the weed whacker, cultivator, sweeper, and edger that attaches to the Stihl KM 130R powerhead.
@@mescanto89echo also has one. Its the only attachment for the PAS system i dont own, because i have little need for it. But the other pieces i uses constantly!
Al is fantastic. He is so inspirational. I clean for my one sister-in-law, who has very arthritic hands. And for a young mother, whose mental state sometimes gets bad (she was very emotionally damaged as a child, due to her alcoholuc mother). 😢 Helping these folks makes me happy as a Christian. 😀👍✝️❤️
Too bad you didn’t name the bank responsible for this much neglect. Seems to me they’re derelict of their duties. I guess if they put up a for sale sign everyone will know who they are. You are amazing Al. Excellent job. ♥️
Al, don’t hurt yourself trying to get this off as it’s to much, but we all know you’re putting your all in this big clean up as that’s who you are. Thanks ❤🌺
Yes...people will be able to do this kind of thing as an aid to humanity...look up NESARA...short, three paragraph of what you would do for humanity IF you didn't have to work another day in your life...look up NESARA 😁
@jannibal9273 right! The neighbors should send the corporation who own it a bill and pay AL and if AL wants to donate it to another project thats up to him.
To do what you did on that drive way, most people would have walked away, but you did an amazing job. Lots of love and prayers to you.. you are blessed ❤
Lol... same here Al's a better person than I am!!! I've said this every video I watch your an amazing guy keep doin what your doing and stay that amazing guy!!! ❤
Don't know how you survived that heat. Triple digits! Noticed a small breeze but you have that humidity too. Impressive job! That Ventrac did awesome too. 👍
You develop calluses when you work like this. Your hands become so tough you don't get blisters. I never wore gloves in50 years of farming. Couldn't feel things like I needed.
You must be a man of steel!! I don’t know, otherwise, how you could do all of that shoveling and not have trouble with your back!! Incredible transformation, Al 💪👏😃
You are an amazingly strong man. What stamina!!!!!!! That job was unbelievably hard , but at 116 degrees---IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Your whole family must be sooooo proud of you.
Brown recluse spiders are really quite bad spiders. Keep your eyes on that bite. Hopefully it won't get worse. Love the work you've done on this property!! Have a great day and week.
The bacteria in the bite is what makes it so bad. Need to scrub immediately with soap and water. If it gets infection going, it will leave one heck of a crater with scarring. Watch for a fever. Best to see a doc.
I swear Sir you do such amazingly beautiful work. All your jobs are so detailed. I bet the neighbors feel so much better looking at the yards now. You're so blessed having all those wonderful tools and machines. They make your job so much easier. Thank you. God bless. I really resonated with your Al-ism today. That really touched me. Stay safe and healthy.
As a disabled person its so awesome to watch you do this work. I wish I could, despite my illnesses being invisible and being told I'm lazy all the time. Working with an able body and see the results of your work is a feeling I long for. Good job, thank you for your commitment to your mission ❤

Did some research on the property, turns out the circular structure was a house with a second story and a dome roof. It also had a second story deck off the back. It was built in the 1990s but it appears to have been vacant since at least 2006. It was gutted in 2022, when the property got a new owner. It looked pretty cool, and looks like it can be rebuilt with the existing structure.
I wonder why the house was never finished with all those different owner taking a stab at it. Al, it was hard to watch you putting so much backbreaking work into that driveway but in the end it was satisfying to see it looking good once again.
That VenTrak is a monster. You could practically drive over a bag of rocks and not have a problem. The free yards that you tackle are amazing and so entertaining. You are an inspiration.
You did one heck of a job on this property Al. Hopefully the neighbors will see what a great job you did and you will get some new customers. I can’t believe a water access property so large has been abandoned.
You are so perfect in your detailing, that you make me think of an archeologist that uncovers and pristinely preserves the ancient artifacts of a once forgotten distinguished driveway!😊
I love your videos. I wish you came to Canada. I watch them while I am studying. I am 70 years old and taking another university course! You are sweet and kind and just so awesome. God bless you!
Love your videos, your kindness is unbelievable, your work is amazing. The world needs more kind, hardworking people like you. God bless, take care and thank you for sharing your passion and dedication.
You do great work as always, whole yard looks good, a lot of shovel work, Al, but please take care of back, please don't hurt it like last time, we love you guys and want you to take of yourselves, love your videos
When I heard the bit about Al doing this job in 116 degrees, I thought he was crazy. I now see he’s devoted to doing the best job he can do, without any whining/complaining. You will be rewarded handsomely when you stand before the pearly gates
Al, I’m only 11 minutes into this video and this driveway is unbelievable. Most guys would’ve started that and said this is too much!! Phenomenal work, can’t wait to see the finished results.
you’re so amazing Al, you do such an amazing job it’s unbelievable. keep doing what you’re doing you deserve everything great to come your way!! you’re an amazing person with a great soul
Greetings from Texas! I’ve been subscribed to you channel for some time now and I usually don’t comment much, but you are absolutely the hardest working guy I’ve ever seen! Especially for helping those less fortunate than ourselves. I’ve been binge watching your older stuff and I am so proud of you! I’m a 65 year old woman and I’d be proud to be your granny! 😂
WOW! That was quite the undertaking........I don't know where you get all the energy to do it, especially in all that heat.........You're such an amazing person......I hope the owner sure appreciates what you did for him.......Another amazing job!
WOW, Al, I’m totally exhausted watching you work so very hard!! This property & especially the driveway has been a nightmare to cleanup! I know one thing, Al, you keep working like this & you will never ever be over weight!! I sure hope a big delicious nutritious dinner is waiting for you at home! God Bless!❤️🤗🙏
Idk if it's due to the injury or watching a few other styles of lawncare vids, but I'm suddenly super aware of shoveling form. In the same way ppl who lift weights need to also build supportive muscles that can get neglected, I suddenly am getting nervous of all the weight being put into the lower/mid-back & just am sending thoughts of heat packs your way XD. I know this is back-breaking work, but man, I'm all looking at it like an art form & always hoping for best health (I have back pain issues). I used to just watch this & Blade Mate Lawn Care before bed to sleep, but now I'm all up pondering the height & methods for tackling these big uncoverings & questioning things like the length of the tools & handle placements & how difficult the soils must be. Btw I love the work you do! Keep it up!
Al, when you talked about no goal too big... It hit home with me. I am 57, have some serious health issues. I have been working on myself. It is hard. It will take a long time, but i am getting there. I keep chipping away at it like you did with the grass covering the driveway. I will keep that immage in my mind from now on! When i get discouraged I will keep chipping away, over and over. Thanks for the great video and the pep talk! Have a great week!
AWESOME transformation Al! You turn these jungles into masterpieces! That would be a nice little property for someone who fishes! It's sad they left the house deteriorate that bad! That machine is a little beast! Stay safe and hydrated! God Bless You and your family 🙏🙏🙏
I can’t believe you did that driveway, what a big job. You are the bright spot of my day. You are such a caring, kind man. There should be more people like you Al! ♥️ Mary Ann
God bless you you work so hard today on that job I'm 89 years old I've had two cat naps and each time I wake up there's more and more done and you're still working it's been I don't know how long you've been at it but other people have help you don't have any help and I just praise the work you do my gosh you'll be blessed with something magnificent I'm sure of that he's watching you your family is so lucky to have you thank you for all you do God bless you again.😍😍🥰
Hello Al you do such an amazing job the transformation is beautiful God has smile on you 😊to keep you healthy and doing the work spreading kindness and love wishing you always good health peace happiness
I love your videos! In the south grass can grow so fast and thick it feels like a battle against the elements just to keep a yard looking nice. Bless you for helping whoever the property belongs to and may it come back to you a thousand fold!
Al, I bet you dont have a hard time getting to sleep at night. Your admired by so many people for the hard work you do out of the kindness of your heart.
You're one in a million!!😊 I just found you on RUclips so I guess I've got to get caught up, mean while yout integrity, heart, compassion has me very curious about you im watching so far very interesting 😊🤔🤗🤗
Use whatever equipment and inventive techniques you can come up with to make your work easier on your body! You do so much good not only to a specific property at the moment in time….. but the inspiration to those watching your videos is unfathomable. Many neighbors get their butts up off the couch and work on their messy yards! It’s a good kind of contagion ❤❤❤. Good begets good! God Bless You🙏
You named two of my worst fears in one sentence... Snake and Alligator... I thought I wanted to live near the water in Florida... No thanks... Great job, Al!❤
They have some pretty good sized bugs out there too, some might confuse that spider crawling across the floor in your house for your cat or small dog. My brother keeps telling me I should move to FL. Allot to like but I fear all the creepy crawling dangerous creatures..of the non human kind and maybe a few of the human kind as well.
That has to be the oddest Property I have seen in a while I wonder what it looked like back when it was intact home and garage very strange ruins /remnants left now but looks so cool to see it all cleaned up.
You are the inspiration for men to do the right thing. A neighbor and I started cutting two lots the builder would not cut, or the HOA did not send him a letter. After we finish, it gives us a lot of pleasure when we see how nice the lot looks. God Bless you, Raul and Dan Bryan, Texas
Unbelievable that you cleaned that up!! Take care of yourself!! You’ve got some magical powers!! Just the words alligator and snake would keep me away!! Congratulations!! Excellent driveway reveal!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Man that thumbnail looks photoshopped, but that work DOESN’T! Man, what a job! I like how the kid and dog pass by to see what in the world AB is doing. And then the neighbor couldn’t believe the Ventrac mulched all that up lol. I couldn’t imagine having to carry that “carpet” off by hand. Ventrac bucket came in clutch 💪. AB, he’s the real MVP! 💯 #mil
love your videos Al. You've inspired me to do for my neighbors and the trailer park I live in., at least 1 day per week. lol, keep your bottom of the pants legs tucked into your socks, then nothing can crawl up your legs, etc! I do it up here near Boston, to keep ticks of all kinds and spiders to a minimum!.
Wow, this is labor intensive, back braking work and it's all being done on a volunteer basis. Al, you are a truly amazing human being. I hope the neighbors appreciate your amazing work.
WOW! I was so impressed with the driveway reveal! What a change! I love hearing the scrape of the shovel on the concrete. You are an awesome worker. Great video!
WOW!! You did that guy a huge favor cutting that overgrown dangerous mess - Let alone the land owner! Maybe the guy won’t want to move now! Love the step and flip on that shovel!😅 Good advice at the end too, I needed that…Great work AL!!
Love that claw attachment. It was amazing. I can't figure out what was there. I thought it was a house destroyed by a hurricane, but it wouldn't be pink stucco inside and out if it were a house. That was just an amazing job Al, so much work! Maybe you should use back support when doing jobs like this.
❤ Amazing job! You made that look so nice! So much better for the neighbors and made it so much safer if police or fire needs access. It also makes it easier for neighbors to look out for anyone who goes on the property in case they get into trouble with the wildlife. You are amazing and that ventrac machine is amazing! You make the world a brighter place❤
You are a Saint!!!! To do that much work on an abandoned property and make it look that good!! You are absolutely amazing!!! ❤️. Thank goodness for your new machine!!
The initial showing of the rediscovery of paving was astounding of itself, and then you connected it to the property you were reviving. Wow. When you started down by the gate, the cleanup level was fairly easy, as far as the driveway. When soil shifting and growing over the driveway began, it was pretty major. Liked how you mapped out what the hidden layout was, figured-out how to cut the overgrowth into chunks, for removal, and began to work and clear sections, so it was possible to see real progress. I am so glad you had the Ventrac, with a grapple, to help with moving the massive buildup. 27:57 is a view showing that this place is no longer in the same category as when you started it. You said it right, one bit at a time and you got it nicely done.
You always get the job well done you are so thorough, I don’t know why I like watching you, but it really gives me hope that other people are out there helping others. Great job may God keep blessing you and everything that you do. You’re a kind person and a good parent, I’m sure you’re a great husband☺️
That was amazing! That was the driveway that just kept on giving! Thank goodness for the Ventrac! Beautiful transformation. You can even see the water now. I hope someone sees the potential of this property and gives it another chance. Keep up the good work! And stay safe! ❤️
Your videos inspire, motivate and most of the time, relax my husband and me. You have such a kind heart! It's obvious in all of your actions. From the work you do, to how you deal with people. Bless you!
This isn't "gardening", its
ARCHEOLOGY!
Splendid job!
My back crying in pain just watching a big well done AI
He destroyed a nature preserve! 😂😂💕💕
Watching you perform this type of work, no politics, no murders, no issues, is stress relieving.
Yes, extremely tired from all this garbage
I agree with you, he's very refreshing
@@JoeThinker1jjjjjjjjjjjjjjj b
Except for that snake and alligator sightings !
I am totally exhausted just sitting in my recliner watching you!❤
Al, you are a BEAST! I don't think people realize how hard that shoveling of grass off concrete really is and how draining. Respect my friend!
Lots of tangled roots underneath.
I've never been so relieved than when you brought out that Ventrac(?) with the scoop. I was actually feeling sick for you thinking you would be shoveling until you dropped from the sheer magnitude of that task. Awesome job.
THAT HAS TO BE TWENTY YEARS OF GROWTH ON THAT DRIVEWAY. WOW
Al: I have always wondered how you are confident enough to go into the tall grass at these homes. I cannot believe you got a spider bite, know there are coral snakes, and know there's alligators on the property, and you just keep going. No big deal. You are so brave AND hardworking.
Yeah, I was wondering the same, especially after he was told about the snake.
I was out in a field of turnip greens. I never dawned on me about anything cause my mind was set on free greens. Suddenly I felt something cold/ wet on one of my legs. I calmly pulled my pant leg up and it was a green frog.🐸 I gently took it off and then I freaked out.😖😟😧😳 I was happy it wasn't a snake.🐉
That looks like a LOT of back breaking work. Please be careful of the creepy crawlies!
Hardest working young man I have ever seen!!! He is so selfless!!❤❤❤❤
You're so strong ❤
I wonder how long it took the property to get so bad.
It’s amazing to think, that your viewers get as much pleasure from your hard work as the Homeowners.
Love what you do Al,, all the way from the UK.
I wish I had half of this young man's energy he made me tired watching him work so hard.

Awesome 😊
Oh my gosh Al, you being able to roll up that grass and dirt reminds me of when my husband, son and I removed the ivy lawn from our front yard! The roll got so large we couldn’t move it, luckily some guys showed up with a wench and dump truck and hauled it off,

I agree, except some people don't deserve it - like the owner of this property!
@jannibal9273 right! The neighbors should send the corporation who own it a bill and pay AL and if AL wants to donate it to another project thats up to him.
To do what you did on that drive way, most people would have walked away, but you did an amazing job. Lots of love and prayers to you.. you are blessed ❤

You have done such an amazing job cleaning up this property, I am sure someone will want to buy it and build a home on this lakefront site.
Don't know how you survived that heat. Triple digits! Noticed a small breeze but you have that humidity too. Impressive job! That Ventrac did awesome too. 👍
All that shovel work, my hands would have been full of blisters. You work so hard for your family and the community. Best wishes from 🇬🇧

This makes my back ache just watching. Al, you are the man. How you manage to work this hard for so long in Florida heat and humidity is amazing.

@@shewill8618I had a former teacher lose her leg to a recluse spider bite because of all the infection.

Idk if it's due to the injury or watching a few other styles of lawncare vids, but I'm suddenly super aware of shoveling form. In the same way ppl who lift weights need to also build supportive muscles that can get neglected, I suddenly am getting nervous of all the weight being put into the lower/mid-back & just am sending thoughts of heat packs your way XD. I know this is back-breaking work, but man, I'm all looking at it like an art form & always hoping for best health (I have back pain issues). I used to just watch this & Blade Mate Lawn Care before bed to sleep, but now I'm all up pondering the height & methods for tackling these big uncoverings & questioning things like the length of the tools & handle placements & how difficult the soils must be. Btw I love the work you do! Keep it up!
WOW‼️I can’t imagine how hard that must have been‼️I’m exhausted just watching you 😮. Great job‼️ Stay safe & well❣️
Wow! That driveway was crazy! Al, you’re a machine! You’re also a really awesome person with a heart of gold. Keep up the amazing work! 🙂 ❤
Al, when you talked about no goal too big... It hit home with me. I am 57, have some serious health issues. I have been working on myself. It is hard. It will take a long time, but i am getting there. I keep chipping away at it like you did with the grass covering the driveway. I will keep that immage in my mind from now on! When i get discouraged I will keep chipping away, over and over.
Thanks for the great video and the pep talk! Have a great week!
Your a Beast bro! That shoveling was a lot of work. I've been a horse hay farmer for years and seeing you in beast mode was impressive.
It never amazes me how grass can take over your a good man for doing all that work
AWESOME transformation Al! You turn these jungles into masterpieces! That would be a nice little property for someone who fishes! It's sad they left the house deteriorate that bad! That machine is a little beast! Stay safe and hydrated! God Bless You and your family 🙏🙏🙏
I can’t believe you did that driveway, what a big job. You are the bright spot of my day. You are such a caring, kind man. There should be more people like you Al! ♥️ Mary Ann
Wish you could do good for someone instead of an empty house
It's encouraging to see that nature can take back areas quite quickly!
Gator is not so happy with transformation :)
I would like to give you an award 🏆well done ✅
God bless you you work so hard today on that job I'm 89 years old I've had two cat naps and each time I wake up there's more and more done and you're still working it's been I don't know how long you've been at it but other people have help you don't have any help and I just praise the work you do my gosh you'll be blessed with something magnificent I'm sure of that he's watching you your family is so lucky to have you thank you for all you do God bless you again.😍😍🥰
You are a lean, mean, working machine! No one can ever accuse you of being lazy, that's for sure! Great video! Thanks for posting it!
Wow amazing work Al… whoever owns this land should be funding the work you do and support also… hope they are watching this! 🙏🏻👍😊
Hello Al you do such an amazing job the transformation is beautiful God has smile on you 😊to keep you healthy and doing the work spreading kindness and love wishing you always good health peace happiness
🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺👍👍👍
Al: You are the greatest! Cheers.
I love your videos! In the south grass can grow so fast and thick it feels like a battle against the elements just to keep a yard looking nice. Bless you for helping whoever the property belongs to and may it come back to you a thousand fold!
I am really glad to see this channel become a success. Al, you put a lot of work into it and I am glad to see your efforts pay off.
Al, you work so hard. I'm glad you're appreciated. If you continue on jobs where you have to uncover grown-over cement, a helper may be beneficial.
It makes you feel good to take something ugly and make it nice. Good job and good lesson. Thanks!
Al, I bet you dont have a hard time getting to sleep at night. Your admired by so many people for the hard work you do out of the kindness of your heart.
You're one in a million!!😊 I just found you on RUclips so I guess I've got to get caught up, mean while yout integrity, heart, compassion has me very curious about you im watching so far very interesting 😊🤔🤗🤗
Use whatever equipment and inventive techniques you can come up with to make your work easier on your body! You do so much good not only to a specific property at the moment in time….. but the inspiration to those watching your videos is unfathomable. Many neighbors get their butts up off the couch and work on their messy yards! It’s a good kind of contagion ❤❤❤. Good begets good! God Bless You🙏
You named two of my worst fears in one sentence... Snake and Alligator... I thought I wanted to live near the water in Florida... No thanks... Great job, Al!❤
They have some pretty good sized bugs out there too, some might confuse that spider crawling across the floor in your house for your cat or small dog. My brother keeps telling me I should move to FL. Allot to like but I fear all the creepy crawling dangerous creatures..of the non human kind and maybe a few of the human kind as well.
That has to be the oddest Property I have seen in a while I wonder what it looked like back when it was intact home and garage very strange ruins /remnants left now but looks so cool to see it all cleaned up.
You are the inspiration for men to do the right thing. A neighbor and I started cutting two lots the builder would not cut, or the HOA did not send him a letter.
After we finish, it gives us a lot of pleasure when we see how nice the lot looks.
God Bless you,
Raul and Dan Bryan, Texas
Holy moly you got your hands full. You do amazing work.
God Bless and stay safe.
Unbelievable that you cleaned that up!! Take care of yourself!! You’ve got some magical powers!!
Just the words alligator and snake would keep me away!!
Congratulations!! Excellent driveway reveal!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Man that thumbnail looks photoshopped, but that work DOESN’T! Man, what a job! I like how the kid and dog pass by to see what in the world AB is doing. And then the neighbor couldn’t believe the Ventrac mulched all that up lol. I couldn’t imagine having to carry that “carpet” off by hand. Ventrac bucket came in clutch 💪. AB, he’s the real MVP! 💯 #mil
My back hurts for you! You sure love a challenge. Looks amazing!
love your videos Al. You've inspired me to do for my neighbors and the trailer park I live in., at least 1 day per week. lol, keep your bottom of the pants legs tucked into your socks, then nothing can crawl up your legs, etc! I do it up here near Boston, to keep ticks of all kinds and spiders to a minimum!.
Wow, this is labor intensive, back braking work and it's all being done on a volunteer basis. Al, you are a
truly amazing human being. I hope the neighbors appreciate your amazing work.
WOW! I was so impressed with the driveway reveal! What a change! I love hearing the scrape of the shovel on the concrete. You are an awesome worker. Great video!
WOW!! You did that guy a huge favor cutting that overgrown dangerous mess - Let alone the land owner! Maybe the guy won’t want to move now! Love the step and flip on that shovel!😅 Good advice at the end too, I needed that…Great work AL!!
Oh my goodness, what a driveway. No wonder this job took so long. I admire your tenacity & work ethic at seeing a job done no matter the challenge!!!
You are someone to be admired by young and old! A gift from God. Love your channel! You are wonderful❤
Dude... You're a Rockstar!! Everything looks absolutely beautiful. Ou deserve a vacation after the lawn & driveway transformation. BRAVO!!
Love that claw attachment. It was amazing. I can't figure out what was there. I thought it was a house destroyed by a hurricane, but it wouldn't be pink stucco inside and out if it were a house. That was just an amazing job Al, so much work! Maybe you should use back support when doing jobs like this.
❤ Amazing job! You made that look so nice! So much better for the neighbors and made it so much safer if police or fire needs access. It also makes it easier for neighbors to look out for anyone who goes on the property in case they get into trouble with the wildlife. You are amazing and that ventrac machine is amazing! You make the world a brighter place❤
I hope the property owner appreciates all this "hard" work, glad you Toro helps you some!
You are a Saint!!!! To do that much work on an abandoned property and make it look that good!! You are absolutely amazing!!! ❤️. Thank goodness for your new machine!!
Don't think people realise how strong you are. All that shovelling is extremely hard work. Well done you! 😊 Mary U.K
Watching now, I know it's gonna be good!! Great job Al... 👍🏼💜
The initial showing of the rediscovery of paving was astounding of itself, and then you connected it to the property you were reviving. Wow. When you started down by the gate, the cleanup level was fairly easy, as far as the driveway. When soil shifting and growing over the driveway began, it was pretty major. Liked how you mapped out what the hidden layout was, figured-out how to cut the overgrowth into chunks, for removal, and began to work and clear sections, so it was possible to see real progress. I am so glad you had the Ventrac, with a grapple, to help with moving the massive buildup. 27:57 is a view showing that this place is no longer in the same category as when you started it. You said it right, one bit at a time and you got it nicely done.
You always get the job well done you are so thorough, I don’t know why I like watching you, but it really gives me hope that other people are out there helping others. Great job may God keep blessing you and everything that you do. You’re a kind person and a good parent, I’m sure you’re a great husband☺️
Al: You always do a great job to help clean lawns up!Thank you and your kindness helps us all!❤🌺
Al,You are a delight and a extremely kind and generous person. God Bless you and keep you safe.I look forward to seeing the finished project.....
That was unbelievable. You are one tenacious man, and in 116 degrees. The transformation is the most amazing I’ve ever seen.❤
Man AL you have an amazing work ethic. I would be very proud if my son worked that hard.
That was amazing! That was the driveway that just kept on giving! Thank goodness for the Ventrac! Beautiful transformation. You can even see the water now. I hope someone sees the potential of this property and gives it another chance. Keep up the good work! And stay safe! ❤️
He barely used the Ventrac, and even then mostly as a motorized wheelbarrow. Not an efficient use of the machine...
I am in my 60's been doing yard work starting at 10 years old. This driveway is the hardest I've ever seen 😮 good job❤
Your videos inspire, motivate and most of the time, relax my husband and me. You have such a kind heart! It's obvious in all of your actions. From the work you do, to how you deal with people. Bless you!
