Some of you will probably remember this property because I've already done 7 episodes here. Back then I decided not to clean up the backyard and some of the front as it was just too crazy. Well, I've had a change of heart, and I'm back to finish off the whole lot. And when I say this yard is crazy, I mean CRAZY! It's full of blackberries, rubbish, old trees and what's left of the garden beds. To get this property back up to scratch, I would say it going to be quite a few episodes. I'm going to do the best I can here, as the homeowner really needs the help. I'm also going to go back over the work I've done, as I could have done better! I hope you enjoy the episode and stay tuned for the biggest transformation I've ever done - what a challenge! All up, I spent around 13 hours on this episode, including 3 trips to the landfill. This is episode 8 of maybe 11, could be 12. I still have the front and few bits and pieces to go!

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.

Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.

Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.

Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.

Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!

Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️

Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.

Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.

Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.

Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.

Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have musi

    Give that "other contractor" a break George! He was tired and overwhelmed and came back 7 more times determined to make this home livable again. He's an excellent contractor!😉 ❤🌱🌿☘️
  • Вы не только прекрасный профессионал, но и человек, стремящийся к совершенству, любящий чистоту и красоту, преображающий мир вокруг! Спасибо за Ваш труд!

    George, I don’t know where to begin! What a wonderful job you did!! Who else do I know who does things so thoroughly and thoughtfully. Thank you again for coming back and allowing us to see each week how you are blessing people. It lifts my spirit so much. In the hereafter, you will certainly hear God say, Well done, George!”
  • @carolwhite1281
    Wink Wink Nod!!! There is no other contractor anywhere that would even have tackled the driveway let alone come back again and again!!!! You are truly a caring and compassionate man!!! Great job as always!! Don’t overdo and burn out! All that overgrowth isn’t going anywhere!!!!
  • @snafu8203
    I’ve said this before…your work ethic is beyond reproach. Your “home” video was telling. Don’t stop what you enjoy doing.
  • Even the cat 🐈 knows what a good human you are. Can’t fool the animals. You truly are one of the “good ones”
  • @rosaochoa9539
    It has been MEMORABLE😊 George videos are better than tv cable, we can see drama , fight ( George against blackberries), Master class in gardening , a cooking program how to prepare a powerful breakfast, recycling site, landscapes with wildlife like crows, domestic animals and he's a working machine and as cherry on the cake THE Water pressure machine😂. Thanks for doing what you do 😊
  • @Sweatpea12

    Добрый день Джордж. Рада вас видеть на вашем канале!. Вы опять сотворили чудо!. Вы удивительный человек!. Работаете на совесть. Даже иногда чините забор и.т.д. Всё вычищаете и вывозите. Такой блогер аккуратный и трудолюбивый заслуживает похвалы со стороны подписчиков. Вам миллион подписчиков!. И благодарность от лица подписчиков!.❤
  • @RadCenter
    The only contractor at fault here is the one that left that gaping hole with exposed conduit in it, instead of backfilling it. Maybe during future cleanups, you could fill the hole with the organic matter you collect. It would eventually break down. Mound it up a good foot or so so it has room to settle.
  • @mbcnetwork9346
    I enjoy watching you & listening to your voice over. It's like having a conversation with a friend. You do such wonderful work. Thank you for taking us along on this fantastic adventure.
  • @RobinL4715
    Really enjoying this series. Bit by bit, like an archaeologist you are peeling back the layers, finding the original beauty in the property, and giving this family a fresh start. So much work! Well done!
  • @user-ql4qq7zb2d

  • @janconway1042
    You deserve a medal George for the hours and work you have put into this place, well done and still not finished, gosh, you can't have too much more to go surely.
  • @davidking3699
    Thanks for doing that garage roof this episode... just getting better and better with every day you spend at that place... I hope Jim's see the work you do and give you recognition as one of their outstanding franchisees... plus the free advertising they get...
  • I always hope that the homeowners will use these amazing cleanups as a gift to be able to put their house up for sale and move to something more manageable. The relief and peace of mind is incomparable!🙌🏻
  • @AD-hs2bq
    This is a straight up humanitarian project. Good on you, George. Love your cat break, too. Cats rule!
  • @heidiayers2124
    I'm so excited for them. I hope you show from day one. I couldn't believe someone could get into this house. I was blown away with just the driveway. And the backyard 😮 So if you are going to make 2 more videos! It will look well manicured. This will be a treat. You do amazing work. 👏👏👏👏Fan from Seattle
  • @JuneJarka935
    What a lovely cat! He was a great addition to your working day - and an excellent stress reliever. Once again, you are to be commended highly for this work. Thank you for providing such an invaluable service to those who need it.
