Cleaned a yard and fixed a fence

G'day friends,
For this one, we checked in on a client at a familiar property. Despite her best efforts, my client was not able to maintain her yard again. If you recall our last visit to this property (link below), there was also a precarious fence, which has since become worse. This time round, I thought we should take a look at that too.
Thanks again for watching, as the client was not charged for this job! It was funded by KZbin advertising revenue, Patreon and the Buy Me a Coffee app!
Video of the last visit:

Maybe it has some cultural meaning in Australia, but what might be the meaning/purpose, if any, of the faded red rag / cloth hanging on the mailbox. It a gang sign that the lady belongs to? :)

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

It means that it's a drop-bear friendly property, and the trees may be home to some. This basically means enter at your own risk, as they can attack with lethality, and without warning

I started laughing that she scolded you for cutting the flowers. I remember this place and it really is a sweet little house. You have a wonderful sense of humor.

[@danajhasalvegas5819]

I'm glad you upgraded your liability insurance to do these things, helps folks out. I remember this home and the work you did... it's terrific you were able to step in again, thank you. I absolutely adore the mixed flora this yard offers. It's really amazing to see the diversity. Just trimming shrubbery makes a enormous impact. You seriously need to think about a chipper for that green waste....mulch heaven. Your client Clare, should be over the moon at your free services... afew flowers in the grand scheme isn't gona brake the look one bit. Your walk behind is a real PUSH ME / PULL ME UNIT.... she chews her chud up, and spits it out very well for a senior mower indeed! Got to love Kikuyu grass. ❤️

For someone who's never built a fence before, you did a fine job Sean. Yard is looking good, can't wait for part 2!!!

[@patvisek222]

What a job that property was. You did awesome work cleaning it up! The fact that you even built a portion of new fencing in addition to the yard work is a testament to how much you care for this homeowner and her inability to get around easily. I look forward to your next episode.

[@sallyannbagita2943]

Thank you Sean for the revisit. It is a ministry where you and clare tithe your business, time and money. God bless

[@robertshrewsbury9344]

Could see that even though the yard fell behind, the basics you had done still showed. It won't be as hard to renew. Thank you very much for tackling the fence. Hello to Claire. Nice you are able to go forward with further improvements, as the shrub trimming.

[@imochiexe5056]

Thank you, Clare and Sean, for caring enough to go check on this client and then go above and beyond to neaten up the yard and begin to repair/replace the sagging fence. What a wonderful way to walk the talk. Clare was wise to wear bright pink socks to avoid snacking, biting, stinging insect beasties. Tip guy had a real sense of humor with the channel 7 observation. 😊👍💯💥👌💫 Beautiful transformation. Love all the blooming flora, too.

[@brendabroschard5781]

Sean, even with your wife helping, you did some strenuously hard work by yourself. Thumbs up to your wife with not wanting the flowers cut down. Guess she knows the importance of bees, I'm sure you do too and sometimes some flowers must go. Most people don't realize, no bees means no food. Love that rare beast of a mower you found and had repaired. Awesome video as usual.

My in laws had a very old Ford tractor with all the attachments. Plow, post hole digger, rake, disc, bush hog, and he created a snow plow for the front. He loved that old Ford and was the only one in the family that could get it running. With 15 of 18 acres mowed it was a true gem. We sometimes had to wait months for parts for it. The house, pond and lake took up the rest of the property. He even created a weed eater for it since the lake bank was very steep. My husband lost his battle with cancer over ten years ago his mother passed in 2020 they decides to auction all of the Ford and it’s attachments as a group. Both our daughter and his older daughter was surprised that it brought in 25K. We later found out the guy that bought it was the one who purchased the property. I gave him my phone number and told him I knew all of the tricks my husband used to get it and keep it running. He did call me once last year. Ended up needing a fuel filter that was hard to see and ruff to get too. Does my heart good to see him keeping up with it and using it.

[@janboll7174]

For never having put a fence up before, I think it looks very good.The only thing I would have done differently (including my thoughts on my neighbor's fence) is leave an inch or two open under the fencing to prevent it from getting wet and eventually rotting (even green-treated fencing will rot if left against the ground). I'm trying to get the dirt away from the fence when I'm working in my flower bed but after all the time it's been there, it's hard to do.

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

I recognized that fence and yard immediately. It's a shame that organization didn't find someone to help her fix the fence. One thing for sure the front was more overgrown.

Fence looks good. Could see that military training where even after your shovel broke, you just figured out a way to keep digging. When trying to control the size of big bushes, like the one you, uh, deflowered, it can help to cut the larger branches down to the ground. Never more than a third of them. Pruning the outside to make them square not only deprives us of the blossoms, but encourages growth in the end of the branches, leaving the the bottom of the branches brown
