OVERGROWN Sidewalk Edge NEGLECTED For 50 YEARS Gets A FREE Makeover (Part 2)

Many of you that have watched part 1 might understand that when I say this was the hardest overgrown sidewalk edge I've ever done, IT TRULY WAS. At a combined total of 12 working hours, I was able to perform an amazing, overgrown sidewalk makeover for this random abandoned home for FREE. To me, it seemed like it has been neglected for over 50 years, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
I found this property after the cleanup I had performed for a listing agent. When seeing this, I knew someone was in need of some serious help. Even though the house seemed abandoned due to the condition (and nobody answered after I had knocked on the door), I knew the home still had some kind of owner behind it.
It seemed as if the neighbors want nothing to do with it. In fact, looking around the area, I spotted some homes with sidewalks that looked similar to this one, just not as CRAZY. If the neighbors aren't taking care of their own sidewalks, I thought, why would they do somebody else's? This drove me to perform the task of being a good Samaritan and showing others what actions need to be taken in order to preserve the value & integrity of the neighborhood.
If you have not watched part 1 yet, I highly recommend watching it first for the ULTIMATE MAKEOVER SATISFACTION: • OVERGROWN Sidewalk Edg...
By the way, the shin splints have almost healed completely. Thank you all who have shown support in the comments section. I am doing great! All of those who have prayed for my health, thank you.

@@drones9667 You're absolutely right. In fact, Copper Creek Lawn Care (Brad, the bald guy) has made multiple videos talking about how much money he makes from the KZbin videos (he's extremely honest and open about it), so he'll often take a job for "free" because he knows he's about to make a ton from the video (or videos if he splits them in 2 parts). He even said in one video that his wife was able to quit her job because the revenue from the KZbin videos was so insanely good. So, yes they do great work, but they're definitely being well compensated for their time. Have a good one.
