Garden Make Over Part 1| Send In The Mini Digger Vlog

Its time to shift some earth in our garden makeover. We have to get rid of a wasp nest that is in the way and also fill in the old pond. Jimmy's mate brings in a JCB Mini Digger and let's see how it does.

How many times did you say “I can’t do anything because I have a bad shoulder? “

[@garymucher9590]

Yeah, kind of think he is milking that now... lol But if it works, go for it!

[@peteramberley9952]

Looks great mart! Them boys worked hard. When he give up his day of golf on the promise of you supplying the coke, I think there was a slight miscommunication 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidvickers9029]

Good job Martin sorry I mean Gary, Jimmy and mates and digger. haha

[@johnstubbs1585]

You could build a super size workshop in that space lol great video that guy on the digger was brave digging up that nest in a open cab version lol

[@steve45678]

Well done Martin and team great job .Digger is definitely the way to go🐝🐝🐝

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Thank you Martin I really enjoyed watching everyone working in your back yard please look after your shoulder I am from South Africa

[@Scaleymodels]

Great job done by the gang.....Mike M

[@Ian.........]

The mini digger and your helping hands made light work of it. The garden will be looking good in no time. It's a long old slog but we'll worth it.

[@DiecastPowderCoating]

Well once again you have tired me out, well not you your Army. I've spent the day detailing the car, got some new wheels and tyres coming tomorrow. Very enjoyable. Take care, Jeff

[@butlersempire]

Have fun Jeff.

[@a11csc]

the mini digger and all the lads made light work of the job martin job well done

[@themowerman]

A big job made easy with the right tools.. and nice to see the family pulling together..

[@butlersempire]

Yes, they all did well and that made short work of it too Mick.

[@micksbackyardaquaponics1408]

That was a great job yous dun there to the back yard an it will look good wen it finish 👍👍

[@garytaylor5234]

Love watching your videos Martin, they just pop into my homepage.

[@darrylhall6250]

Hi martin love watching your videos on this channel and retrorestore cheers darryl from Newcastle upon Tyne

[@butlersempire]

Thanks 👍

[@philipnewton7524]

.martin How easy when again u have the right tools a digger my problem I could not get one in the back garden u lucky with the wasps this is a good video showing what can be done with a digger when most people would lead the garden when it's too hard the dig Phil in stoke

[@butlersempire]

Cheers Phil, yes the digger made short work of it.

[@James-lm6wt]

Cracking video job well done guys

[@AJPsWorkshop]

Digger made life so much easier mate getting there now

[@yamyam_1978]

You guys have an amazing garden 🚜

[@mediapc4747]

Well that got me. Coulda sworn you were from the eastend (like my missus) and damn me there's a Riddels skip. I can nearly see their yard from where I am.

[@lord.onk99]

Job well done chaps.

[@69virgin1966]

Those boys did a great job. They all deserve at least a 6 pack if not more. Also a good meal from Sharon. The yard is starting to look ship shape. It won't be long and it's going to be looking like a new yard. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks for sharing and God bless

[@butlersempire]

Thanks Roy.👍

[@barbarawiddowson635]

It's just amazing how quickly shoulders heal when watching others work!! lol. The garden's coming along beautifully but you'll be giving Sharon more lawn to mow!.Stay safe.

[@butlersempire]

It came out of nowhere Barbara. Still painful now too.

[@markharris7662]

Wow what a difference. That bit you cleared is the size of my garden lol.

[@derbyjohn1258]

Good progress good time to have a shoulder injury 👍. Them fookin wasps keep them working Martin ⚒️⚒️

[@alandykes2519]

Great job you guys looking good so far 👍👍👍👍

[@butlersempire]

Thanks 👍

[@andycousins5016]

Nice and tidy 👌

[@robertbills4290]

Great video Martin once the new grass is up and ready for a cut Sharron is going to want a sit on lawn mower lol

[@cabdriveruk]

Great video Martin. Plenty of help to get the job done.Those mini diggers are great. Cheers, Jeff.

[@butlersempire]

Yes they are Jeff

[@vespamorelli7090]

Been waiting on this vid for ages & it didn’t disappoint! Great job lads and of course the Clerk of Works himself. A bit timely that that old injury from your Chippendale days stopped you helping out more Martin 🤣🤣🤣 A gallon of 4 star and a match would have been my solution to the wasp problem 🔥

[@Parknest]

It looks a whole lot better now. The excavator has made short work of it. I used to work in plant hire and the quickhitch makes changing buckets an absolute doddle.

[@adierob1]

your garden is massive martin, get a bigger work shed built!!! like the comment about workers and spectators reminds me of the gas board years ago, one poor bugger down a hole digging and three above ground with one leaning on the end of a brush watching

[@AbhiTek_]

Great amount of progress in such a short amount of time! 😍 Looks like that deflated wheelbarrow wheel got stung by some wasps, hence its condition 😂 You could try and see if that lamppost can be restored in anyway; it would be cool to see that done on Retrohax, even if it’s just as a garden ornament and not a functional light, though I don’t suppose that fitting it with an LED bulb would be too difficult. 😄

[@lifekludger]

G'day... I rekon that access via the fence was neat. I'd be making a driveway down the garden to a huge shed (garage) on that newly flatted area... great space for working on cars.

[@butlersempire]

Sharon wouldn't have it lol

[@paulthompson5416]

Looking good Martin 👍🏼

[@butlersempire]

Thanks 👍

[@mopedboys6669]

Looks a lot better

[@ronniebarker79]

Less then 20 seconds in and burt nearly goes a goodun lol gets caught up with the bramble

[@shanebrookes1878]

Love it hard work and martins badly I love it!! What a excuse don’t tell me your foreman!! Looks really good can’t wait for next episode!!!

[@jamesreeve9037]

All that grass Sharon will be wanting a custom ride on mower 🙈

[@thebeerinnandrewmckenna2655]

Best thing for wasps nests, kettle water

[@Jim-ie6uf]

My back is killing me, glad I could help from afar!

[@vdubs6068]

Great Vid Martin 👍 Certainly a lot easier with the digger

[@garygrainger978]

Great job Martin, it looked a lot easier with the machine and all the young lads on the job 👍

[@butlersempire]

Yes it was

[@davesempire8287]

Big improvement. Bigger area then it looked before.. Going to look good

[@butlersempire]

I think so too!

[@darrenmeears4667]

Them boys have done a great job the garden looks massive now shame about your shoulder couldn't of come at a worse time LOL 😆💪👀👍👌

[@butlersempire]

Tell me about it lol

[@doloresmyatt9737]

nice vid martin, i think its the best one on this channel.

[@butlersempire]

Wow, thanks

[@berylcroft5325]

Good one 🙂

[@butlersempire]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@haydenuk02]

That digger sure does make life a lot easier and when you have the right tools it goes a lot faster Keep up the hard work and thanks for the amazing content stay safe and take care Edited the garden looks a lot better and makes the garden look a lot bigger now with all them weeds gone

[@butlersempire]

Yes it does Hayden.

[@billywhizz98]

Fir play Martin the lads have done well

[@thomasoakleyderbyshire9761]

I would have gotten the flame thrower out and burnt the wasp nest. Just put some sheet metal by the fence so you don’t burn it and job done 👍

[@paulquigley1306]

Looking forward to the rotavator restoration now just to see that in action

[@andrewwoodward6560]

Wish I had a crew like that for 1/2 a day ! 🙂👍

[@starperry1784]

Yr gaffa today then while the boys at work xxxx

[@andy_v4443]

wow wow wow, what a big difference already, they done a cracking job there martin, its a shame ya cant get a vehicle out the back from the drive way, imagine the size of the workshop come garage ya could have out the back of the house and still have a huge garden, one day eh...... when ya win the lottery.

[@garycumberland5922]

brill vid that thank u all

[@stuartwest1236]

Where's that spray? Go on Jimmy lash it in😂😂😂say Martin furthest away from the wasps nest😅😅😅

[@andyjrichie6709]

You worked really hard there Martin 😂 great video.

[@butlersempire]

Thanks 👍

[@johnclark9387]

Great effort there by the boys, the lawn is going to be massive. Good excuse for a RetroRestore ride on mower restoration video. Hope you're back in action soon Martin👍

[@butlersempire]

Thanks 👍

[@125sm3]

Did you say you have a bad shoulder Martin 😂😂

[@paulyh4531]

Good workers 👍 hope it was bacon sarnies and beers after 🍺🍺👍

[@butlersempire]

It was

[@pewdiepiefake7483]

*butlersempire* Looks so amazing there!

[@AliMackMechanical]

Blow lamp for the wasps Martin my brother's got stung my them when we used to cut the hay when we where kid's. Poor Gary hope he's feeling better soon. Hope your shoulder gets better to Martin.👍 Hope you bought the pars a case of beer lol.

[@butlersempire]

They got looked after Ali. Shame I couldn't have helped lol

[@cliveharmsworth2894]

Great job lads, Martin all you needed was overalls and a flat cap, site foreman.

[@baldanddangerous1572]

i could see the tears in your eyes martin,i new you wanted to get stuck in there eh,lol,guys did a great job,all the best.................................dougie

[@butlersempire]

Thanks Doug, I would have got stuck in as you know.👍

[@Ellenslife851]

If you could contain it somehow where the wasps are you could have a controlled burn and burn those weeds down that would kill the wasps off Or smoke them out they hate Smalltalk had to do that to the grainery on my family’s property

[@JohnSmith-ie5jb]

Bet that shoulder is just fine when you're holding a pint

[@butlersempire]

I don't drink.

[@Boro-Lineman]

To late now Martin but grab wagons always cheaper than skips I have just taken 45 tons of soil out 3 full 15 ton wagons and was £180 wagon full

[@ASH.......................1976]

Wasp the hells going on !??!! 😆

[@jackfairweather199]

Sure beats shoveling!

[@TheBadJuJu666]

The garden is looking great! Have you found a way to keep that little area on the side of the house clear of weeds/ growth? I'm not sure if it can be done on a large area, but I cleared a small patch (2 feet by 2 feet) of yard so our son could make a little rock garden. I soaked the ground with round-up and with the exception of a couple of small weeds, it stayed clear for nearly 6 years. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

[@Alandixon88]

See Andy is mentioned again. Yet to see him

[@bartoni79]

Would it be feasible to bring a digger through a house or would the weight crack the screed?

[@eugenemcgurk1068]

thought u might have to take the grinder to gary as well, thought he was screwed to that wall

[@gilsonst]

Are you removing old top soil with rocks roots rubbish etc or digger just digging it in under surface ?

[@butlersempire]

A bit of both

[@keithcoen9988]

Never see anybody pull out stump with a grading bucket lol

[@butlersempire]

You have now.

[@fru1t1]

👍👍

[@dodgydruid]

"It's enormous Sharon" as Sharon looks unconvinced...

[@tim_peaky]

should have called a Beekeeper

[@butlersempire]

They were wasps

[@LovingAllLife]

Martin could make a video about paint drying and I’d watch it!

[@butlersempire]

Haha, i'll try that lol

[@stevebarker1974]

Were did you get you're seed from looks good

[@butlersempire]

Boston Seed bud.

[@stevebarker1974]

@@butlersempire lol was looking at that about hr ago cheers Martin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@999thenewman]

Martin making big moves with the crew! Ice that shoulder and see you in the next video.

[@nigelstevens3627]

always work with the blade behind the machine to pin the machine down.....

[@jaggass]

Plot twist: the wasps were confused by the colour of the digger

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Bit of a so and so when you have to watch others do the work .... init ? :) Looking good though, should be nice when the grass grows, well .... the seeds that don't get eaten by the birds.

[@butlersempire]

Thanks 👍

[@bartverhaagen]

I wonder why Martin isn’t helping......

[@michaellowery1559]

When the grass grows your need sit down mower Martin.

[@connorharradine3792]

You got a BMW Martin

[@butlersempire]

No bud, Jimmy's working on it.

[@billiardball9650]

haha lollollol he wasnt long jumping of the digger marty calls them fuckers lollollol

[@dodgydruid]

Wasps eh? Down here we are currently getting plagued by the Dorset hornet :( About 5 times bigger than your common paper wasp and infinitely times more bloody aggressive, then the other nite just as was settling meself down for some kip this bloody huge false widow drops from me ceiling so out came the spider spray... spraunced all the rooms bloody things that turned my right arm into a seething morass of poison grr It had gotten so bad I was a fingerswidth from being taken into hospital because of the deep abscessing and black streaking from the poison /cry At least the blowflies have moved on, when the local chicken farm does the heads and giblets off they chuck them into an outdoor skip that stinks to high heaven and it attracts blowflies some as far as France and evil bastards that constantly try and bite your eyes, ear, nostrils and very aggressive :(

[@dodgydruid]

Oh and August is Blandford Fly fun times, its Britain's only deadly insect because it leaves crap in the bite wound which quickly becomes gangrenous if not treated, I got bitten by one down in Christchurch about 18 years ago and the bite became bigger than my hand and wide as a saucer and I was nigh on in tears when it burst and all the stinky gunk came out, very nasty creature found on rivers and waterways around Dorset. At least we ain't in Sheerness which has Britain's only established problem of scorpions, a friend of mine had to get council out to a load in his shed down there said it was like a horror film and were hugely aggressive too.

[@butlersempire]

@@dodgydruid That sounds nasty Ian, not heard of those before.

[@martinjenkins1827]

That's the lawn buggered

[@butlersempire]

The lawn is fine.

[@martinjenkins1827]

After the tracks going through it really

[@danielclift1]

instead of putting the fence back why not put gates there then you can get cars into the garden

[@butlersempire]

Sharon would love that Dan lol
