Backyard Renovation For Boy With Cystic Fibrosis | George to the Rescue

[@x10a91]

This is NOT only a back yard change....it is the WHOLE ourside. All around all walls. Roof. Grass. Veggy garden. Decks with beautiful furniture. You out done yourselves. South Africa

[@justinm2697]

A few minutes in and I already like this family. I've seen a number of these episodes and it's rare when George turns up at the front door the people actually invite him in. I like that they did that.

[@tmorgan7939]

My thoughts exactly . . .what a genuinely friendly family. You gotta be pulling for them.

[@zztopz7090]

A lot of times people come out to greet him.

[@paulastenavage1785]

The purple door was a great pop of color. When the backyard was revealed I started to shed some tears because it looked stunning. Another great rescue George 😊😊👏👏

[@diana-leabaranovich5080]

Love the purple door. Beautiful Family.

[@polly2020]

Such a lovely family, with a goddaughter with cf, i know not having to worry about the outside work will go a long way in lessening their load. So happy for them.

[@emilywiebel3238]

The excitement of the little girl and thee baby boy smiling along with everyone was so cute! Making their house safe and beautiful is awesome! The are def a family that needed and deserves this rescue. Literally helping save the little boys life and the family. Oh and I love the family team doing the work on the house! Loved all of this.

[@gabydersch1482]

Great story. Lovely family and volunteers. Thank you. God Bless Them. ❤😇❤

6/5/24 - This was one of the Best ! What a blessing for this family! Chas.,SC

[@susangraham4193]

My mom has owed her home for over 40 years and she's 83 and is in serious need of a backyard rescue I'm scared that she will fall again the first fall was in her shower and that started her Parkinson please somebody help me reach out to George to the rescue for me God Bless all of you❤

[@patricianunez4025]

Such a thankful family. I'm so happy for them. Beautiful. I hope this solved the mold problem for them and not just covered it up.

[@SuperZytoon]

I pray for this family to receive all they need to keep their children safe and healthy. Their children are beautiful and so happy.

[@EGracie86]

What an absolute wonderful and deserving family.

[@lindseysquire8417]

This family is so sweet, and they deserve the best. On a slightly more selfish note, I would pay George just to hug him.

[@AlacranaAmorosa]

George (the angel) to the rescue 😎💪🙏👊! He makes sure that safety is a priority (número uno)👷☝️👏👏💖

[@drhodes4601]

Well, that and it appears 3M is a major supporter for the show. Gotta keep the company donating mega bucks happy!

[@terrieschafer8092]

I am REALLY surprised that they did not remove the old roofing and siding

[@petranilla14]

Me too !!!!!

[@gregd6706]

Pause it at 21:04 and at 21:07. Count the siding panels under the window. 100% they DID replace the siding. Idiot.

[@judyduckett1225]

They did replace the roofing and siding...just saw them do it. What a fantastic job!!

[@jaisiline]

Noticed there was not a mold inspection

[@tysonmadding8559]

@@gregd6706 they put the insulation over siding

[@ahgfl007]

Every roofing contractor I've come into contact with says to REMOVE ALL SHINGLES not to shingle over the old ones or part of the old ones. That bottom shingle will rot and cause problems down the road for the homeowner. Taking a shortcut might be the easy way but not the BEST WAY. I started in the building trade back in the early '70s held both county and State Master Plumbing licenses (included Southern Standard and National Standard Plumb and pipefitting abilities). Also held Liquid Chlorine Gas License for condo companies pools and on top of it, all was a firefighter driving a 1500 gallon forest service pumper truck to fires on condo properties. Now that I'm no longer in that trade doesn't mean I don't see wrong-doing and will call it out. Yeah, I do watch to see what is WRONG and am not afraid to call it out when I spot it. I also hold a BA in Theology '63, and Masters in Industrial Computers, Robotics, and Electronics Engineering '96.

[@lamnaga9840]

This show is actually addictive

[@valsmiles8529]

This house is SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!! And such a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!!

[@davehamlyn3097]

I have watched almost all of these episodes. I have enjoyed every one. In South Africa our houses are built mostly with brick and require little maintenance , compared with those in the USA. Really great series and enjoyed all of them.

[@mwhitevegas]

I enjoyed watching George to the rescue episode

[@alisonshanahan9529]

Excellent rescue, mould is such a worry.

[@thata82]

can't seem to stop watching this show, at this point it's an addiction lolllll

[@cindywalker852]

So beautiful house make over

[@LisaCarlson-fo2pp]

Lisa from Delaware. I'm surprised there was no mention of a new HVAC system or an upgrade to the HVAC system with a air purifying system considering the child has CF. I've seen a couple of shows where they're dealing with a person with respiratory issues but that never seems to be an issue thats addressed.❤😊

[@cindythomas5895]

I so love this show !!!!!! ❤️❣️🥰❤️❣️🥰❤️❣️🥰

[@makeupbymorgan1210]

I’m just confused because they layered more shingles on top of the old and it appears that they put new siding on the house on top of old siding

[@wbf3074]

Its not a good to cover the old ones its just a cheap way of doing it

[@tysonmadding8559]

Yeah they put lipstick on a pig ....most disappointing episode in the 50 I binge watch so far

[@drhodes4601]

So 8 months past my last comment, I still can't believe they did not do a complete tear off. George, if you see this, please message me.

[@stephaniepearcy4386]

Am I wrong or were they roofing over the existing roof and putting new siding over the existing siding ?

[@chucklogan7296]

A lot of rot in that roof it looks like? I would have thought that with the rot that you would have tore everything off the roof and laid new plywood down and then the roof? I did not see in your video where you took out all the rot around the windows and eves? I thought you might have taken all the old siding off and then papered it and the apply the new siding? I just think you might be covering up mold and mildew., The roof looked a little wavy in the middle when they were putting on new shingles

[@chuckclark9464]

The Playhouse in this backyard I think everybody's got that thing all over the country because I have one for my daughter LOL

[@neiltrevatt]

When did they check for mould and rot

[@chucklogan9611]

Sure looks like a wavy looking roof? I thought that they would have tore everything off and replaced all the rot underneath?

[@lowesonia8551]

Just read all comments . .Living in France No knowledge of any of the Roof or wall materials used But rot is definitely a danger and must be completely removed are treated . Would not pass Health agency inspection in France .Or UK.

[@auntienessie2474]

I have a few question about this. I did see then go over the existing roof end the outside walls. But what is there is an issue giong on under it? Did they check that? they didn't show it.

[@jacquicoder7160]

I agree, it unfortunately looked like they were just covering up some big problems. But I sincerely hope we just weren't seeing all that was done.

[@marvinhess4616]

Also they added about a ton of weight to the roof and they voided the warranty on the shingles by lawering them over other shingles now the roof will only have about a 10 to 15 year life not a 25 to 30 year life they just put a bandaid on a blown off leg because you can not no matter what see what damages have been done to the house from the water by covering it up I don’t care how many years you have been doing this you can not just hope that it’s ok you have to open it up and make sure that it is

[@auntienessie2474]

Especialy when you do the make-over for someone with CF.

[@terrieschafer8092]

Ya they just covered potential problems that could have really bad situations

[@jujujewel2172]

Marvin Hess I found that part all a bit confusing, from the footage, while they were talking about the roofing... On one hand in the close up filming on top of the roof, nailing new stuff over the old, then another view from the ground looking up, you see them doing what they were saying they would be, with the guys up there taking the old stuff off [first] But I think I have figured it out now

[@coffeeaddict2431]

to make it better for the baby, they should stop wearing shoes in the house. prepare a mudroom, leave everything there, and enter your home without bringing so much germs from outside.

[@marionboucher3155]

why did they not remove the old shingles to see if the plywood was still good.too fast of a job in my opinion

[@Creative-Chaos]

I agree, but I don't know if adding a new lay of shingles met the goals of the family.

[@salt8124]

George can u come to New Zealand pleaseeeeeee. I can cook u some really nice indigenous food

[@32dras]

I don`t like this rescue, if any problems under roof or walls shingles, they encapslulated it, shingling over shingles on roof, insulation over old wall shingles and new siding?

[@steppenwolf_on_tour6650]

That's correct. I was thinking the same.

[@CoffeeBacon365]

yeah thats a pretty shonky job. If there is rot inside they are gonna have to remove that all and fix it anyway later on. More of a delay tactic than anything

[@NormalLifeGaming]

I think they need to do more genetic tests for every so if they know they’ve got the CF carrier gene

[@Mrs_Dale]

👍🏻👍🏻 GEORGE2DRESCUE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@keithandrew2431]

Very disappointed that they went over the original roofing and siding.

[@lowesonia8551]

Oh What a sweetheart Family Baby boy is gorgeous . Giving security with superb work by the Brother and team . the mother looks like J.Kennedy beautiful smile. Read Jacqui Coder information For C.F. hope with all my heart he can be helped. Love to you all .

[@chucklogan9611]

Doesn’t the new siding just keep the rot and mold underneath? It seems your just burying the problem?

[@ericsgreyhairwisdom5799]

play area for the kids???????

[@antonymorvan1289]

Watched a fair amount of these rescue renovations and although what George does is amazing to help so many in need, I feel the contact product placement and vocal advertising really spoils things as it feels like a scripted advert throughout. Surely the interval advertising is enough? Other than that, I think it is incredible how you help people.

[@3lli0]

I've been wondering do they keep the furniture or is it staged? and they have to pay extra to keep the furniture?

[@marionboucher3155]

i see they had the same approach with the house siding .i would not hire that company at all ,they cut too many corners for my taste

[@marionboucher3155]

@Brenda Rawlins Brenda take the time to read all the comments below and you will see that i'm not the only one that feels the same way about the quality of work that was done ,i love george very much but not all construction companys are excellent at doing renovations.second i do not grumble i observe and then make comments .you don't like them just ignore them .

[@elisha052550]

😭🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌞💯

[@drhodes4601]

This rescue looked like an episode of Pimp My Ride. At least 3 layers of old shingles. Pull off 1 layer then put a new top layer on? Poor workmanship. A few years from now this family will be faced with a massive tear off and repair bill. Plus the cost of a new roof. If you aren't going to fix it right, don't do it at all. Piss poor made for TV BS!

[@miketackabery7521]

I'm bingeing this show because it's great and kind and George is super entertaining... but this particular episode... that is one crappy job. Shingles over shingles? Insulation over siding? A deck when they've already got pavers? WTH? George: don't ever allow those guys on your show again!

[@roadwayrona]

A PVC fence.... Jeez - a plastic fence??! Oh my.....

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

roadwayrona wooden ones rot.

[@roadwayrona]

Right - in what time period? 30 to 40 years? Even in Ireland people manage to prevent this for many, many years by treating wooden fences every year. You know, plastic doesn't have soul, it is very dead material - and if you absolutely cannot face the effort of maintenance and WANT plastic, be honest and let it LOOK like plastic!

[@mdurham2246]

So if you prefer a no maintenance fence it needs to be ugly? I don’t think this one had any sort of wood grain on it and anyone who sees it clearly knows that it’s PVC - there are trade offs to everything.

[@shywolf4]

Pvc is very easily cleaned and sanitized which is very important when you have a respiratory condition let alone a life limiting one. And the care a child with cf requires is so time consuming, the less maintenance needed the better. They have a limited amount of time with their child and likely don’t want to waste time on things like sealing a wood fence yearly.

[@CamrynBrandow]

This is amazing and I wish nothing but the best for the family!! You guys truly deserve it!! 🤍🤍🤍 My sister passed away from CF, I educated myself on the disease and stuff.

[@BLAB-it5un]

As much as I like the show and as much as I appreciate the unexpected challenge of dealing with cystic fibrosis, I wish the show would not focus on self-serving people that request a hand out. Either find people that aren't looking to others to rescue them or focus on those that sacrifice and exhaust their own options without expecting a handout. Might sound harsh, but this show is a testament to how we over extend ourselves financially and how most of us fail to plan or prioritize. Buying a run down house full of mold even without dealing with cystic fibrosis while not having the means to clean it up and then wanting a handout is remarkably selfish. To me it has become a great teaching tool of what not to do when it comes to family planning, home buying and financial management. Having someone help people in over the heads is fine in principle but in my view at least is poorly executed sometimes and this is one of those times.
