- The Neighbors thought I was wasting my time and DIDNT even know there was a SIDEWALK here in the 15 years she lived in the neighborhood!!! Id have to say this is the Worst sidewalk that ive seen being transformed on RUclips! let me know what you think. it was a fun project that took me a little over 10hours to complete and the next day my back a seized up from all the shovel work but well worth it when you see how it turned out. It was a fun one but I did run into some difficulties on the way, summers in full effect and the heat index was anywhere from 101-104 degrees in this video and my camera overheated a few time and id be lying if I didn't say I over heated a few times lol. I have to take a few water breaks on this job. during one of my breaks a neighbor came over to me and told me she thought I was crazy because she had no idea there was a sidewalk there lol.. well I hope y'all enjoy, love yah and thanks for all the love... PAY IT FOWARD.

After seeing the sidewalk that was revealed, it's my hope that some city engineer will drive by and see it and say, "Oh my, it's about time we replace that one."
😂
I'm not sure how it works were you live, but were I live that's not even remotely how it would go. Around here it would be like this -
Some city engineer will drive by and see it and say, "Oh my. We better send the property owner there a nastygram about the state of their sidewalk and demand that they replace it."
@@ColonelSandersLite Where I live, the engineer will drive by, see it and put it on the list for 5 years down the road, or until some walker trips and falls and sues the city.
Pffffff, they’d charge the homeowner to replace it.
In Australia we have an app called snap send solve, can take a photo of an issue (esp if its a hazard which this path now is, was probably safer when it was grass and dirt), it sends the report to the proper council and they deal with it, sometimes it takes a few weeks, but I've had tree roots causing path to stick up, signs ripped out of ground, abandoned cars, reported them and had them all solved.
Ok, Al, I am with the neighbor.. That was a 2-3 day job, if only to save your back. My goodness, I admire your determination and work ethic. I am proud of you. That was a very big job. You are an important part of this universe. Take care. Thank you for being so kind.
Don’t tell me he did all this in one day?
@@traceypalangio9615 Yes, 1 day. Quite a feat.
@@traceypalangio9615 Read the description
Stupide question,Just for nothing...
@@traceypalangio9615 With a gas powered edger and a concrete shovel. Brutal. Made my back hurt watching this. Kept thinking okay can we break for lunch Al?! Al is a champ!
I have been doing landscaping and yard maintenance all my life and I can tell you that was some impressive, back-breaking work you did Al scraping that sidewalk clean in 100+ temperatures. It is so hard to calculate how much someone else would have charged to clean that sidewalk like you did because you just can't find people today who will work that hard. My hat is off to you on this one. There are a lot of people with channels on youtube, but I cannot think of anyone who works as hard as you do.
Al, I have been there. As you move through the job, you see how much progress you’ve made and the adrenaline gets going. You don’t stop for water or food, but just keep pushing. The payoff is so good at the end.
Then you pack up the tools and sit down for the first time.
Then you don’t get back up again for days because the adrenaline wears off and your spine whimpers in your ear…”Are you mad at me?”
Its more like, why are you 😡?!?!?
“Can’t you hang? Get back to work!”
(Back) “No Boss… I’m hit! You’re working me too hard, Boss!” 😢
“Boss… I’m thirsty! 😮😅😂

I do the same… to gift, without expectations, is a beautiful and selfless blessing to others, that The One smiles down and says, “Bless You My Child”
Selfless, is a gift that gives back. The gift is not necessarily monetary, but a blessing, that inspires, encourages, and gives forward. 🥰
@LuckyEddie_PNW
I get that! 😂
Wow! It's no wonder your back is sore. Discovery of a sidewalk that's been missing for over 15 years. I bet the homeowners didn't know it was there. Get better soon, thank you for sharing your work.
You are a special bread of man. If more men stepped up to the plate to make our country beautiful and free again, the ladies would be very grateful.GOD Bless you
Pace yourself Al! If that sidewalk has been covered up for over 15 years, then it could have gone on for a few more days. No sidewalk is worth destroying your health to uncover. You might have been able to break it down into a couple more hours (if your schedule allowed). You can’t spread your kindness and generosity if you destroy your back and overall health. Take care and God Bless you!! ❤❤❤
No job requires your destruction. i know, i live on disabily now, pace yourself.
@@geraldhimmelspach1154Godspeed. Wishing you well.
Appreciate you fortitude. You are a fine young man. Praying for a VERY fast and complete recovery 🙏
I agree with you, no job is beyond the stress you're putting yourself through and in that case you're doing it for free.
were all very proud of you. to all of u saying he should have paced himself. its very hard to start a job like this and just walk away in the middle. also noone truly knows how difficult the job will be until they actually do it. anything in the construction, mowing, handyman field knows this. you look at something thinking it will take you way less time. then you dont know what youll find underneath. you really never know. and if al is reading this im sure he will agree.
Fabulous job!! But I'm saddened that the city hasn't come out and dealt with such a big endeavor with a bobcat or a whole crew of guys!! You Sir deserve a raise or a golden cup or something for that super task. Geez. 😮 Keep your spirits up Al. And get some rest!!! 🎉❤
Al deserves a raise? 🤣😆🤣😆🤣 Al works for himself. His "raise" will be the $3,000, $4,000 or $5,000 he will make off this video (that is my best guess with 1.3 million views).
Would digging up down to the sidewalk be easier if it were soaked?
@@user-un7fp8rq9j would be heavier.
@@user-un7fp8rq9j Probably not. The dirt looks a little bit sandy/loamy. If wet it would be a lot heavier.
😅
No matter how cracked that sidewalk is, your work made that section of road safer for pedestrians, those in wheelchairs, parents with strollers, and maybe bicyclists. Accessibility is so important. Great work! 🤩
With bigger jobs like that it's OK to have extra help to work together or tag team .

And the .. kids that still ride bikes.. like the 80s
Exactly. The City I live in doesn't believe in sidewalks I guess. The only sidewalks available are on the Main Street (HWY 66). The sidewalk goes for 1 mile and that's it.
Al, that was definitely a 5 man job. You always do great work. You are so dedicated in all you do. Thank you once again for your HARD work. You deserve a nice massage to relax that tense back. Great job😎💪
Al needs a partner on the grass-removing, shovel parts!
Al, this took sheer willpower and Mind over Matter! You uncovered 20 years of dirt on that sidewalk! Please take care, GM
That was literally back-breaking work! And based on your shadow you seemed to be working at high noon or sometime near that. We can only imagine the heat! While it's really great that you make so much effort to help others, also don't ever forget to be mindful of your own wellbeing too. God bless you, Al, and more power to you!!!
Not literally; he’s just sore, his back isn’t actually broken.
Oh my Al you are such a Blessing to the community and the folks you help.
I do worry about you staying hydrated in the heat. Please take care and keep the blessings flowing.
Al, I wish I could give you a dozen 👍🏾 for each foot of sidewalk you uncovered! My head and heart hurt just watching you work. Outstanding job, my young brother. I’m sure the home owner and neighborhood is grateful. ❤
As someone who uses a wheelchair every day this is extremely helpful for both safety and covenants of me and people like me. Thank you.
Really, "covenants"? I think you meant "convenience".
@knrdvmmlbkkn It's entirely possible that autocorrect decided that the writer meant to type covenant rather than convenience.I've typed things correctly and had my phone pull a fast one on me at the last moment
@@knrdvmmlbkkn
Autocorrect on cell phones is a tool of the devil. I had mine turned off because it would not let me enter the names of my contacts the way they are actually spelled.
My daughter was blind and had rheumatoid arthritis, both conditions made walking a hazardous affair. So I also thank Al on behalf of Laura and all her buddies with disabilities. 💕🐝💕
@@knrdvmmlbkknwho cares
Can't believe how much work you did on the sidewalk, it was very cool 😎. ❤
Who would have known there was a sidewalk under all that dirt and grass! That is some BACK-BREAKING work!! Nice job😊
.
Adding the seed so the grass can come back was truly the extra sweet icing on top. That was extra thoughtful. You are truly a kind man, sir. May you be blessed 10 fold. Even if you're not expecting it 🧡
Amen! But still don't overdo it in a days time ! You can always take a break and return.
It's always going to waiting like neighbors said they never saw a sidewalk there in 15 yrs be careful
What😠😡???? R U crazy? He's doing this free!!! He's not their on going Landscaper. Take into consideration the area, the labor intensive energy, and the manual position and the heat factors. Oh, and let not take into the fact that Al is doing it by himself along with the facts what he has invested for these, lazy, "don't give a damn" residents🤬🤬🤬!
Why doesn’t the City look after that?????😡
@@user-bi8hs4zb8l in most areas the homeowner maintains the sidewalks , usually if the sidewalks needs repaired or replaced the city works with you but you still pay a big part of it .
Al, you’ve outdone yourself with this one. 10 hours of back wrenching work in over a 100 degree weather. Man that brutal! Amazing transformation for sure.
Praying for your full recovery AL, becareful not to hurt yourself while trying to work in this hot weather. Pace yourself. God bless you for that you do for others, and may God continue to strengthen you.
My back hurts from watching this. Imagine the neighbor coming homing to their driveway and not recognizing it. Good job, man.
Al, I honestly think you do a better job of cleaning and clearing yards than anyone else on the internet! You give the yards 100%! Saying prayers for you and quick recovery for your back . God Bless You.😊
I agree
You are the man!! Boy that shower must have felt fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️
A P despite his lack of equipment, does a better job than all the others.
Isn't there some kind of a machine that can help you get that sidewalk cleared up. You only have one back to please take care of it . Prayers for your healing.❤🎉😊
Glad to watch your videos….you need to be paid.
Al, I’m so sorry about your back. I hope it heals quickly. I also hope the people around there appreciate all your good works. You’re one in a million, my brother. God bless you.
Spoken from a tender, caring heart ❤️🌹🙏. I agree 👍.
Great work Al. But the city aloud that for over a decade? Crazy.
Yes this was a hard one poor AL hurting his body
Ditto!!! ❤
i could not have said it better
Literally back breaking work. Thank you for all that you do to bless others by helping them with yard work. It can be hard not to judge people, but you never know that people are going through. Again, thank you for all that you do to spread love and light to the world. Take care of yourself.
You are an inspiration Al. Communities used to do that at one time. Things change - well some things. It’s awesome that you do so much for communities. Well done.
Al, you are a driven man and this is your mountain to climb. Finding hidden treasure and discovering beauty in those sidewalks, driveways, overgrown shrubs, trees and lawns. Type A all the way...and filled with deep satisfaction in the results. You are an artist. Thank you for sharing! Loved that you planted grass seed in that dirt too.❤ BRAVO!🙌 Who else has learned A Lot from this man on how to use lawncare tools?
This is such a lovely thing to say.
I love these archeological digs. Maybe the reason it was covered was the poor condition of the sidewalk. It is interesting to note that the grass grew better on the sidewalk than the sandy soil of the parkway where people ended up walking by default. Please contact the city to let them know that this is a tripping hazard. They may not do anything but you will have told them. 😊
I was thinking that, the last owners the sold the house put a truck of soil and planted grass, for not fising the side walk. 😂
The overgrown condition led to the cracking of cement sidewalk
I was thinking the same thing. Isn't the concrete a tripping hazard now? Is it the city's responsibility to repair it?
@@kericue2065usually the homeowner, is in my town.
What happens to the debis from the over growth? Do you haul it away or just leave it?
Great that you're making properties and cities and towns look so much better!! Your videos are addictive and I just found you recently!! Maybe the city will put in a new sidewalk now.
Please take good care of yourself too❤❤❤
Al, great big hugs for your work ethics.Just remember your family is important too. They need you also. Bless you!
I don't know of any single man who could do this in one day. Your generous heart and back-breaking labor is incredible.
Dude, no wonder your back hurts! That is like a TON of work! I wasn't even halfway thru the video and mine was aching just watching you.
In the future please be careful working like that in such heat. God bless you Al, and hope you mend quickly. Love and peace. ❤🙏
These people need to plant some trees. Too much sun.
That sidewalk was shattered. My guess is vehicles had been parking there in the past. All those cracks created the framework for that grass carpet. It will return, if not maintained or walk replaced.
Dude! It must be nice living in great countries, they consider these things as TON of Work, even having machines and equipment helping him do the work. Come visit Asian Countries, we'll show you what TON's of work looks like with a Buffalo or Carabao assisting you..😅
Jason, if you have beasts of burden helping you, then you are NOT doing all the work yourself are you? Ours may have an engine but the power of these engines are measured in "horse"power.
Seeing yards like this make me thankful I live in an area with an HOA! God bless your hard charitable work. Truly an act of love!
Great work next time. If you run across a project like that before using the shovel, use your edger and do crisscross patterns all across the area you’re trying to dispose of and then come through with the shovel. It’ll make getting the dirt out half as difficult
That was painful to watch, but couldn't stop. I know you are suffering for us and the good of the neighborhood, please take some time to rest and heal Al. You are amazing, the grit and grind of finishing that was crazy determination and hard ass work! God Bless Al, take care now!
You,gotta be careful. I torqued my back so bad doing what you are doing here I had to get a back fusion. 😬
@@americanpatriot8402lp😊0
Using the edger to cut it up into chunks was brilliant! Your heruclean effort didn't just unearth a sidewalk; you discovered one of the fabled mosaic sidewalks. God bless, Al!
Mosaic sidewalk?? Plz explain??
Maybe it’s Byzantine?😂
@@liberty8424 A mosaic is art made up of pieces of glass or another material to create a larger picture or pattern. The grass busted up that sidewalk, so it reminded me of a mosaic. I was just feeling goofy.
@@TheEdumicator I do know what a mosaic is. I read what you wrote when Al first started digging it up. I thought maybe some areas of that city had somehow made mosaic sidewalks. I watched another chanel yesterday, Kevin's, & he was in a town that had red brick laid streets!! In a herringbone pattern! It was awesome!
You really worked hard for that. Great job
Great job and a lot of hard work! We moved into an old house years ago that didn't appear to have a sidewalk in front of it although there was a sidewalk in front of a couple of houses on the block. Looked a lot like what you worked on. I decided to edge the yard the first time I mowed and realized there was concrete under the grass. I spent most of a day doing what you did. It was hard work, but worth it. The neighbors saw what I did and realized they had a sidewalk, too. By the end of the summer, everyone on our side of the street had exposed their sidewalks. None of them knew the sidewalks existed because they weren't the original owners of the houses. Most assumed the city didn't put sidewalks the full length of the block. Always curious when I don't see a sidewalk in front of an older home if there is something under the grass
AL, your strength is impressive! You always doing a great job 👍 God bless you always 🙏❤️
BRAVO AL!! What a fantastic job! You should really wear a back brace when you're working hard like that! Even if you're just mowing a lawn to protect yourself! We love you too Al take care and hope you're feeling better soon!
Its amazing how you worked that sidewalk all those hours and no one came out of the houses seeing who was making all that progress! Great job Al you did a awesome transformation on that sidewalk fantastic ❤
They were all sitting on their asses
@@digitaldystopian or gone to work...
Why would they? I don't go and stare down the lawn service guys in my area.
Great job..it needed it..hope you feel better❤❤❤
Al, great job and I hope your back is better soon. I only hope the mail truck does not get hung up driving on all that soft dirt by the mailboxes!
This could be retitled --- "hardest working man" video. Giving me flashbacks to watching prison chain gang movie == breaking rocks. All for no pay, simply the satisfaction of helping others, & giving back. Mom & Dad must be Extremely Proud of your work ethic and perseverance. You are certainly a shining example for others !! And in turn, entertainment for us, thank you !!! 👏👏👏👏👏
great job I'm sure the neighbors appreciate you
WOW!! Hard to believe that no one knew it was there for 15 years!!!! What a lot of hard work in the blistering Fla sun!! NOW, GET SOME REST!!! GRANDMA HAS SPOKEN❤❤❤❤❤
Great job Al, makes it a little safer for people in the neighborhood so they won't have to walk in the street. Keep up the amazing work. Looks really good. Hope you feel better soon.
Safer until someone trips on the loose pavement.
@@HillbippieDlux they could also trip on that grass the way it was though.
Wow man, great job! That was a lot of work and I was impressed with how you stuck with it. I'm glad you took breaks because that heat will get you. I'm a letter carrier and seeing that sidewalk makes me smile because it's easier to walk along on sidewalks than grass. The letter carriers that see this transformation of that route will be very appreciative and I'm sure surprised that there was a sidewalk there, (if they didn't know) of your work and glad that you made their walk much easier to all the properties and mail boxes along there. Thanks again for your dedication and hard work! I'm enjoying several of the helpful, generous lawn care RUclipsrs on RUclips these past few weeks of finding them on here and subscribing to them. You are now one of my new subscriptions! I'm looking forward to watching you and all the others! You all are awesome!
Amazing 👏 transformation. You are the best. Always thinking of others.
Hopefully, the city comes in and sees the transformation and replaces the sidewalk with new concrete. It will be safer for the neighbors to walk on.
People will walk this side walk in 100 years and never know a real American Hero made it possible. Hats off to you buddy. All of England salutes you.
Lol! Walk? In the USA? Funny.
After a few years, it will look exactly the same if the city will not repair it. :)
I hope its replaced soon.. its in rough shape!
Shoot, it will probably just get grown up again…people are so unappreciative and lazy these days. We need more Als in the world. I wonder if the city will re-pour the concrete.
I am from Texas, but three weeks ago I went to Lakeland, Florida for two weeks. I told my son that if I saw you I would give you a hug. I didn’t see you 😢. May God bless you always.
Thanks for being an example of what good people are capable of in a world of pain. Hopefully others break their necks to find others ways to do the same while taking care of themselves too. It's an incredible formula. I'm trying to do the same but haven't found my niche and don't know the details. I don't know how you deal with the extreme Heat, Rain, Lightening, Snakes, Spiders, Hornets, Bees, Gators, Ants, Mean People, Ticks, Cuts, Bruises, Rashes, etc.... Keep being the difference.
Wow. That sidewalk just kept going! Just when I thought you were done, you pulled the camera back and more was exposed! Great job. Nice that you seeded too. Take care of yourself and don't over do it!
Awhh Al, we are always so excited to see how you are going to bless someone's life by doing their yard.
It blesses us when we see the reaction on the faces of those who have benefited from your kind heart.
But this one..... was too much! It was breaking my heart to see you labor so hard on this project.
Please, take care of yourself. Your family needs you and we would miss you if you are laid up recovering from such a laborious task. Stick to the mowing! I don't think that I could look at another video like this one.
😥
Maybe we need to call the cop to come stop you killing yourself on that sidewalk. Only kidding. Your family needs you Al, take care of yourself. God bless you on all your endeavors.
What a hard working person you are .most ppl.doing a job like that would have a crew to do the job .and in that heat .please be careful .u do great work .don't know if you are appreciated enough .may God protect and bless you and ur family always .
OMG AL. No wonder your back hurts. That sidewalk was tough scraping and digging and you had a long sidewalk. You are such a good hearted Young person and looks like you have alot of energy. I'm sure at times you can't wait to finish what you started. But, for you and us it's such satisfaction seeing how you have cleaned up someone's yard and given them relief as well as happiness so they don't worry about being fined. You are a kind-hearted, hardworking guy improving a neighborhood from an eyesore. Bravo young man. Take care of yourself bcuz we love watching your videos and the end result. Feel Better Soon. ❤
Bless him... At about 1/2 way Id say "can we put the grass back"? 😂
I agree, I was saying don't worry about a perfect edge, just make a slim path, its ok to stop 1/2 way through and come back in a week, but no. He went and busted a nut cleaning the heck out of that lawn-walk, lol. Awesome job Al!
From someone who knows how hard that work is . I hope you get a hundred million views and blessings
If you speed up the video to 2x again, the power tools almost sound musical. Also this was so satisfying to watch. I wish there were more people like you - thank you. Now here's hoping they can get those sidewalks either repaired or replaced.
You are a true Blessing, I hope nothing but Good things happen to you and your family
Hi Al, I love what you do and why you do it. I too get a relaxing, calming effect from extreme yard work. Yard work was a chore I had to do weekly growing up and totally enjoy it. A few years ago I moved from California to Missouri to help out an ailing friend living on a fixed income. Upkeep of her home was becoming impossible to afford .so it was an easy choice to donate my skills and what materials I had, for her needs. The first thing after my three day drive was to get the yard in order. After a New Years eve ice storm and a witch next door complaining to the city about a tree limb in the yard, Code enforcement put up a notice out in front the fell down. When looking into why the sign kept falling down, I found a beautiful red brick sidewalk that matched the red brick walkway up to the house. My friend had bought the home in 2006 and never knew that under 2-4 inches of grass and dirt was this beautiful red brick sidewalk in front of her home, but not just her home, it went all the way down the street. I did not tell her of it until after I had cleared it and let me tell you, she about had a heart attach when I surprised her with it....keep up your great work. We need more like you.
When I was a kid in St. Louis we would soak the brick walk with a hose so we could pull all the weeds and grass from between the bricks on our brick sidewalk in the back yard, hard work but satisfying.
I thank you for the service you are doing. Yes it's very important. You need to take care of yourself.
People pay tax why not city doing the work
Al you need to be more careful. You would be of no use to you family if you died working in such conditions. Take better care of yourself please. God be with you.
Yes! It all doesn't have to be done in a days time. Please take care. God bless you Al. The weather is hotter now!
Spread these really hard jobs out over a day or two or three. It will still get done, and you will be physically safe.
I thought I was invincible when I was younger. I was a sprinkler fitter, plumber, Installed Automatic gates as well as many other Maintenance jobs had to have Back surgery at 37 I'm 56 and have been completely disabled now for 11 years. Your a wonderful man and your family needs you. Please take care of yourself and don't push yourself to much it's just not worth it. I now have 3 bad Discs in my neck and Rheumatoid Arthritis High Blood pressure and build up in my main Aortic aterery. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
Al that was grueling work! And the temperature was dangerous for anyone out that day. Please take care of yourself!🙏👍
@@normolsen5209....,i hear people say these aged years is our golden years......someone lie😮😢s😢
I love the transformations you do for the community. Amazing job!
As a blind person, sidewalks are really important. You may have made someone able to walk in their neighborhood for the first time in a long time, if ever. Please take care of yourself, though. No matter how amazing this can be for someone, do not exchange it for your health. ❤ get help or take a few days to do it if you tackle something so hard.
That was amazing Al. I'm not surprised your back is sore. When I saw the other side of the road I thought , oh gez don't look over there AL lol! Rest up hope your backs better soon 👍💜
I appreciate everything you do for your community. You busted your butt on that Sidewalk and it came out awesome. I hope your back gets better soon.
The cute little house and now it's got a great lawn and walk. Such a blessing Al.
Something satisfying watching you makeover overgrown yards. Can't imagine how awful your back must have felt shoveling all that dirt! I wish I were there I would have tracked down a hose to cool you off. Being the best human you can be ❤ Love your heart buddy
Al, as much as I love watching you transform these properties, I’m just as concerned for your safety! Please, proceed with caution on these hot days. ❤
You would think the city records would indicate there is a sidewalk there!!! But, maybe from the condition of the cement, they were glad it was covered, so they wouldn’t have to replace it….😅
Where are all the men that live on that block? NOT ONE offered to help….
You are such a sweetheart that was extremely hard work and you stuck right through it. It’s nice to see people like you still exist in this world.
God bless you, Al, for taking on such hard work!😊
Oh Al I was praying for you as you're struggling with this sidewalk! Prayers for a speedy recovery too!
You are truly one of a kind to take on so much work in order to help people out with any yard work you can get yourself into. God bless and keep you safe in all that you do. ❤️💖
Brutal task you took on. We need to create a tool/machine that will work on overgrown grass on concrete. My back hurts just watching you do this.
As a sufferer from chronic back pain, it hurt my back to watch this video. Please protect your back as much as possible, Al. Great job as usual.
I'm with Sherry! Mine finally bit the dust at 42, after years of abuse. Life changed forever. Be nice to it, Al.
Yah you do a great job all the time
Make sure u rotate heat and ice on that AB! After 19.5 yrs of Military Service and 1 unsuccessful back surgery im done! Take care of it while your young! Not when your 57
2 back surgeries and a pain pump and Im still in pain. I miss out on a lot of life. Take care of your back. Use a machine. Home Depot rents some that would clean up that sidewalk in no time.
The Lady was right you are crazy each push with that shovel jars right through your body look after your back my friend next time bobcat the freakn thing.....
What a chore you did! Amazing gift!
You were one of the first on YT, I saw videos of giving back to the community and mowing lawns(often for free).
Now there are like 20 plus channels of bad ass lawn guys doing free lawn care.
Not sayin you started the trend, but you participated and may have inspired someone.
Well done mate. 👏
Dude I absolutely love you even though I don’t know you personally except from your channel, you appear to be the hardest working, humble, kindest, and most selfless person I have come across! God bless you and your family for allowing you to do and be who you are! I get the deepest since of calm and satisfaction from watching you do you, people say how can I sit and watch someone do yard work on RUclips, but then they find themselves sitting right along with me watching! Lol 😂 I’m 62 and love doing my yard work and I pace myself so even if it takes all day, no worries… as I age I slow down and at some point when I can no longer do it I hope I come across a good soul like you to lend a hand! Dude take care of your back and your body, even though you are a young whipper snapper (lol) its the only one you have! God bless you! Thanks for being a SUPER MAN! ❤
Great job. God bless you.
It's crazy that the homeowners let it get so bad. The rest of the lawn looks fairly well kept. Thank you for cleaning up that dangerous mess.

Al that's a really great gift to the neighbors and the city. The world needs more humans like you. 👍👍❤️
What a job!! Well done 👏🏻
Al, you are a blessing to your family, the world is a better place with you in it! Please take care of yourself! You are a perfectionist and work very hard
Sue Wolfe-That's definitely hard work on your back, AL! I'm glad you're resting now and giving yourself time to heal. Of all the great improvements in tools, no one has come up with something better than a shovel!! Take care and keep hydrated!!👍💪😎🌴❤️
Maybe get hold of a turf cutter machine next time😏
OMGOODNESS! I feel for you! It looks great, but your health is more important than a sidewalk that’s been covered for years! Don’t over do! A mother talking to you like she would her own sons!😊❤
AMEN LINDA u are telling him right.
PREACH!
Excellent transformation!! You rock dude!!
Awsome job, I hope that neighborhood loves it
Al, I'm an old man and I've done a very tiny shoveling job (adding new mulch) compared to this gigantic project you undertook. My back was on fire for days. You've done an amazing job and I know it was both satisfying and very painful work for you. I hope you're relaxing; feel better soon!!! Great video transformation!!!
He's silly to put his back at risk with this vigorous work. You know it (me too) but the young don't get it until a disk moves and then your back is done for life. Nice fellow but not good for the body.
At least you could do the mulch that was awesome should be proud of yourself
Al's a bit younger I think he does what we used to do in our younger days
Maybe he's a bit sore on this job because he worked to fast.
All it takes is a neighbour to help a person next door then Al would be out of a job
But like the lady commented below He would save his back.
That is not necessarily true My husband did his back when the police were practising with handcuffs putting somebody down on the ground and you can do your back by just falling over your back you can do by just carrying too much weight and you can do anything to your body if you don't take care of it it doesn't matter what activity you're doing you just have to try and take
The best care of yourself that you can
I like to watch Al because it reminds me of what I used to do I used to clean up the footpaths and down the sides from the prickles and everything because they were no houses and then my kids could ride their bikes up and down the footpath and not be attacked by tiger snakes and prickles.
I wonder how Al copes with the poisonous spiders and snakes and rats and mice
He would have to tend to all of that as well, that's the only part that worries me about Al s health in doing these projects
He has got such a high work ethic He must have had great parents and grandparents in my opinion only
Yes he does amazing me on the way he does some of the work I wouldn't have thought of it myself very ingenious❤
Wouldn't it be great if somebody could invent a machine just to slice the dirt off the concrete
Looks like the council should come in and fix a footpath looks all cracked
I often wonder why the owners of the house don't come out and help as well if it's had to do they can still pick up some stuff or some rubbish that would help a lot just do something even bring a drink out to him that would help
Geez Al that was some tough digging. I hope the owner is thankful for your generosity. Hope your back heals quickly. Ice packs help. 👏👏👍
Great job it really looks nice.😊
Al that was an amazing job you did but please take care of yourself too, I hope the people who live in the house appreciate what you just did to their house and continue keeping the sidewalk clear and clean. I can’t believe nobody came out to bring you at least a bottle of water, when I see someone in my neighborhood working so hard as you did I always offer them something to drink. God bless you for all what you do for others and protects you from any illness and keep you healthy and strong amen! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
May benefits come back to you 10-fold for the HUGE effort you expended in addressing the issues in this video. It was amazing to watch the sidewalk slowly come to see the light of day, and SO great that you seeded the lawn area between the sidewalk and the street!!
The uncovering of the sidewalk also shows how strong plants are because of how they have broken up the sidewalk over time . . .
I would be doing a sidewalk square at a time. But, not the entire thing.
I like that by extrapolation and testing you figured out that a sidewalk continuation existed. When you did edging, the recovered sidewalk began to seamlessly fit right back in. Your innovation, of cutting sod into squares with the edger was a good one. Nice thought to even-out the moved dirt and turf and to carry on recovery of the far side of the sidewalk. Extra plus, thinking of reseeding the side strip. That was a big change for the neighborhood, with a big expanse of connected sidewalk for all to walk on.
That sidewalk was a beast. Great job Al
You made a huge beautiful difference! That’s a lot of hard work! ❤
Kudos to you Al. 👍 Nothing harder than working your ass off in the blistering hot heat and humidity in Florida. My hat's off to you good sir!🧢
Hi Al, my name is Georgie and I'm from Germany. I discovered you and your channel a few months ago and have seen every one of your videos. I love your work and your videos and think it's great what you give back to people! I wish you and your family God's blessings and that your path is always accompanied by happiness and health and is never as rocky as the path you have uncovered here in the video 😊! PS: drink more water in your videos so that you stay with us for a long time! From Germany with love, Georgie ❤❤❤❤❤
Much respect for what you do especially in that heat.
So much work great job
You are a hard working man! You were determined to clear that sidewalk and you worked so hard and finished!Great job and I hope your back feels better!Blessings❤❤❤
You worked so hard on that sidewalk. Sure looks better! Healing Blessings 🙏
Wow!!! Awesome job Al
The city definitely owes you a BIG check! Great job!!!
Just shows the importance of edging along all things so it doesn't get so over grown! Thank you for doing this for those in the neighbourhood.
I suggest using a harness when your using the whipper snipper, along the fence line as it takes some weight off your arms and shoulders! Helped me when I was using mine! Greetings from Australia, love your work and helping those who cannot get their yard clean because of injuries or lack of money! 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Wow great 👍🏽 project 👏🏽👏🏽
Wow, what a hard job. You work so hard for people who never know you. Thanks for all you do.
Al, that was awesome what you did to that sidewalk. I hope they appreciate what you did for them. Take care of your back and I'll be praying for you. Awesome video.
