I have been watching your channel for a while and you never disappoint! Can't say the same for some of the people you help.. How can people let things get that bad when a bit of care and up keep would avoid this all scenario? An outdoor space of your own is a treat that many would envy you, how ungrateful can you be to use it as a dumping ground? That does'nt take anything away from your incredible effort and cheerful attitude facing such neglect.. I hope they will honor your work by keeping up the good work.

@robertshrewsbury5067 Жыл бұрын
Just the intro pictures, your courage level to try was way high. Pretty exciting so far. Junk removed, leaves moved off paving, a chance of color in the pavers. Blackberry root removals... The main area is already a whole lot more usable. Now you are tackling the back corner with more blackberry, and it appears to have storage/junk tucked into there. You just keep working away. (Sometimes an intrusion or overwhelmed area in a yard is from something within that got-away and other times it comes in, from another yard or area.) Under good surprises, under "dirt" in the back corner, paving goes all the way to the back. A good extra on your part, was clearing off the roof of brambles and debris. At 16 minutes along, I call this a 100% Success, whether or not anything else was done. The area is clean, attractive and can be used again. The next day... Oh how funny, an unexpected minimal amount of water. (I had wondered about a clogged or no drain.) Still, the rinse-down is another treat, the color starts coming through. You said a Rookie Error, what you might have done to compensate for no external tap, I don't know, beyond asking neighbors for some water. The idea of a chemical treatment sounds sound. It is also o.k. to "come back another day". A wonderful result and kindness on your part. On the outro, glad you can find snow and play in the city.

You have to keep your hand at it, and it makes you feel good about yourself. It may all be paved, but the leaf compost etc., wow, unbelievable. It sure looks lovely now, at least the back will be more dry and tidy, it would be nice to sit out when the sun is shining with your friends or just you and a cup of tea. Nice to see you having fun with the family. A great stress relief. Well done, be richly blessed, keep on smiling. Kind regards.
