CLEANING THE UK'S WORST TENNIS COURT! *MY HARDEST JOB EVER*

[@randyrice1429]

I hate to see you suffer, but I'm always impressed with your work ethic and the caliber of the "after". Merry Christmas, Sid, to you and your newly grown family!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

thank you and you too!

This Country needs more people with your work ethic.

[@0sthyveln]

Great job! A little suggestion. Always position the wheelbarrow in the direction you are going before filling it up. Saves you some energy when you don't have to turn with it full.

[@suzymatwetwe]

And a flat tyre makes it even harder 😉

[@jaaphubert]

It is a typical Dutch model of snow scraper, it is called a “sneeuwschuiver”. I will have look for that particular model on the websites of our typical garden center, farm supply and DIY shops.

[@seanoreiley48]

It seems much more reinforced than snow shovels I’ve seen here in New England nowadays. I’d also pay the extra to get a snow shovel that will last 10+ years.

[@LauraKelsh]

Looks like an aluminium front edge with a formed plywood with a big steel or tin(?) plate with some big U-bolts and the handle is shaped to fit the scoop 😍

[@shep9231]

As will I. I want one for myself ;)

[@pbarnfield]

I don't think anyone can ever say you're not a hard worker! What a difference and what a job taking that on. I really hope YT pays out on this one for you to make it even more worth your while!! Have a great Chrimbo to you all Sid.

[@maryz7977]

No matter the job/task-no worries when Sid “I shall persevere” shows up!!!!!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

damn straight!

[@thebigkapowski]

This is one of those jobs where you know it will turn out amazing, but within the first 15 minutes, you question why you took this on in the first place. Amazing work as always! Happy holidays to you and your family, Sid!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

haha i was literally so overwhelmed - took about 10 minutes to scrape the first little section in the top corner and I did the maths in my head and thought oh no what have I done!! 3 days later we did it :D

[@seeking.harmony]

That was just an incredible job! 🎉

[@chrissherlock1748]

I’m thinking if this was done in Sydney over the last few weeks, you’d die of heat exhaustion… 39 degrees C tomorrow! Then I realised there wouldn’t be this level of moss :-)

[@nickadkins7765]

​@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning What's the update on this one?

[@bobfromtheband1]

Sid, you're a STAR!!! A very hard worker, conscientious, professional and a great personality.

[@Zopocalypse]

Your suffering isn't the draw, but I'm glad you're honest about how physically taxing your work can be. Everything looks lovely sped up and in the before and after shots, but you remind us that real people are doing real, amazing work to make it happen! I hope you enjoy the holidays and the rest of 2023!

[@ashmouse]

I've never seen such a hardworking person. Well done Sid. Happy holidays

[@crazyhaller]

Yet another day of appreciating Sid and his longer videos!!

[@gwendolynross1674]

Yes! The people on KZbin would love to see you do it. 😊 Thank you Sid, awesome video Fantastic job!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

:D glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!

[@victoriamediaVEVO]

Hello From Finland.. Those snow showels are commonly available in Finnish hardware stores... Some says that its snowpusher with aluminium blade...

[@fannycraddock99]

Holy moly Sid! What a cracking job, your back must be pretty sore after that. The difference was massive, can't wait to see it all finished. I do hope that the home owner wants the tennis court fully restored. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Wishing you good health and happiness in 2024.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Day 2 I was hurting pretty bad but somehow felt fine after that - I was expecting to be in bed for a few days after i finished, must be high off the good result :D have a greatchristmas and thanks for all the support all this time!

[@michelleodwyer2271]

i hope the owner keeps the maintenance up and it doesnt go back to neglect wasting your magnificent effort.

[@sugarspeeps9471]

Thanks! Well done!!!

[@gerriefarman3174]

I have to say Sid that was one of the most satisfying jobs to watch you do. That being said take of yourself and don't strain your body doing jobs like that gotta take care of yourself too man.

[@laurensprice]

22:14 shout out from Germany here. They are quite common over here, we have one, they’re called holz-schneeschieber (wooden-snow slider, direct translation). You can pick on up from from the B&Q equivalent for 30-50€. Loved your videos this year, have a good Christmas 🎄🎅🏻

[@kuurbis]

You were right, this was a very satisfying video! I hope you're giving yourself a nice mini-vacation to relax and take time to recover from such a hefty project. You've definitely earned it.

[@StevenLepore]

Loved this!!! This one reminded me of the old school PEC content from years ago where it was just you out there taking on jobs and figuring it out along the way. YOU are what makes this channel so special. Merry Christmas, Sid! Enjoy the holidays and I hope you can get some much deserved rest!

[@larryfeeks6620]

I thought you'd lost your mind when you started this job. So much MOSS! So many shovels full of MOSS! But in true Sid Partridge fashion, you emerged victorious! Have a Merry Christmas, Sid! Thank you to the homeowner for taking such good care of Sid and Brad!

[@isadorasmith6320]

What ever you charged the customer, it wasn't ENOUGH! Excellent job Sid! 👍🏻

SID, YOU ARE SO LOVEABLE. Wishing you all the BEST FOR 2024 to you and your beautiful family.

[@deborahgould5695]

This was painful to watch so I can only imagine what your hands and back feels like! I already know the end result will be well worth the effort. Thank you for all the wonderful videos you've provided us with the whole year round. Happy Holidays to you and your family! Hopefully the new year will be a more prosperous one for you without all the mechanical breakdowns. Blessings!

[@jimnelson9775]

A LOT of work! It looks good, Sid. I look forward to seeing it if you resurface it next year. And Happy Christmas to you and your family. 🌲

[@bevm1938]

Hard graft for one man alone but great viewing for us. Hope you didn't come away with any injuries. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and hope you get some well earned rest to come back stronger ready for the next challenge

[@pmyhill]

Great work Sid !!!!! Thank you for all the videos over the past year, can't wait to see what 2024 brings for you 👍

[@maryjensen5112]

Merry Christmas Sid and your lovely family. Have a restful holiday. What a back breaker this was. You should be quite proud of yourself. You have a strong work ethic, there is no doubt about that.

[@RJ-444]

Wow... that was such hard work and you did the majority of it on your own, Sid! I would have been a wreck by the second barrow... 😬😅 What a result, that's one lucky homeowner. Merry Christmas, enjoy as much of a rest as three young kids will ever give you! 😉🎄

[@robertdirollo268]

What a trooper you are Sid 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jamescheever7982]

Appreciating the shovel is the sign of a craftsman .... kudos on tackling this ... not easy large area!!

[@dianahosier5354]

Wow Sid you are certainly a worker. You certainly show the boys who work for you the way to work. Well done. Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Xxxxx

[@Murphycats]

You did an amazing job and I look forward to the total repair! Enjoy the kids at Christmas...just play with them and watch them and relax. Then when you come back to work, you will be READY!!! Best of Christmas wishes to you and your beautiful family.

[@haggielady]

WOW! Absolutely amazing how good that court looks. You busted your butt on that Sid. Ian, the homeowner, must be pleased as punch with you. Have a great Christmas holiday break with your family. See you in '24.

[@a760541]

The wooden snow scrapers are ideal. Used then here in Germany for years. Tip: remove the front metal edge and with use they'll curve slightly to become more plough like. Plus they are a lot quieter

[@davemartin7010]

I had the same tennis court job last year and got through 8 plastic snow shovels, it’s a back breaking job, I will say from experience if it’s not sealed off it will be a magnet for weeds, happy Christmas enjoy.

[@ccharlton8063]

As ever - sterling approach and delivery to a job that the tennis court experts wouldn’t even touch. That homeowner is one lucky person to now have the result on their land that previously was a thorough mess and almost un-rescuable. Long-term job as you say, but once done will be amazing - can’t help thinking once the ground is done how much that wall at the back needs a steam clean. With a new fence it could look stunning, but they’d need to get their AmEx out . . . Happy Christmas to you and the team and not forgetting your own family who do so much to support you with the relentless hours you put into your business and they don’t get to see you. They might say they see more of you online . . . .get some rest..

[@bethb7973]

Great job - that looked grueling. Best wishes to you and your family for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

If you find out the manufacturer of that shovel, let us know! Its a beast!!! This was absolutely epic Sid!!! Great results.😊

[@ChuckFickens1972]

I've posted a link as a reply to this and it's not appearing so guess posting links is bad.... Search Google for "strenge de 8103798" and I'm pretty sure that's the exact shovel.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and the family Sid

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

Well, you are proving it could be done/improved. I would agree with people noting that you would reduce a lot of wear-and-tear by pointing the wheelbarrow where you intend to go...before loading. Liked that you thought of moving a lot of leaves off with a leaf blower. Really enjoying you trying different techniques to work your way through the process. 12:29 is just about a Grime Line, after working through layers of material. That was a huge improvement with the court area. The organic material/dirt result may work in planting beds. A worthwhile experiment, considering moss seems to be a regular "crop" where you are, and leaves an available source of mulch. As the design of the place is re-appearing, now I'm interested in what the stone wall would look like power washed (or biocided). Wishing you all a good Christmas Season and New Year.

[@sharonb.9128]

Great video! I’m always here for one of your special projects. Backbreaking work but very satisfying to watch you tame that natural Petri dish. That “mound” of growth gave me the creeps for some reason so it was gratifying to see it get torpedoed.

[@haydenuk02]

Amazing work Sid. It looks loads better what a difference . Hope you and family all have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Can’t wait to see what next year has in store. Thanks for the videos take care

[@pennschlitt1228]

Absolutely enjoyed watching you transform the court. Great work on the property in general! Bless you, the family, and all for a wonderful holiday season from Florida USA

[@christopherrose5576]

Thank you Sid for the amazing work you do. I am not sure why I enjoy watching you work so hard but your videos are both relaxing and satisfying. If I could work for you I would. Merry Christmas to you and yours this holiday season.

[@GenuinelyJodi]

Probably one of my fave videos. You know your audience! That big shovel was a game changer. Thanks for all you do!!

[@Ghostiification]

You should get an air compressor kit for your car, if you don't already have one (replying to your comment about a flat wheelbarrow tyre). My dad's got one and it's incredibly easy to use. Just plug it into the tobacco lighter (if you have one) thing on the dash board and that's it. Costs like 25€ so maybe like 20 pounds? The price is the part which blew my mind the most, so cheap yet so useful.

[@ginak921]

That was definitely worth watching and thanks for taking it on , fantastic job. Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas time and i will look forward to more videos in the new year.

[@marydalton5752]

This is the second time I've watched this video in a week! I really liked seeing the beginning, middle & the end given how thick the moss was! Excellent job again! Merry Christmas & a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year!

[@mariegregoire3559]

The amount of work you put into this!!! Admirable. Happy holidays🎅🤶🧑‍🎄

[@Snargfargle]

I'm glad to see that you finally got the proper tools. I was thinking that this was going to be one long video if you kept using that short garden spade.

[@shep9231]

Wow. I thought you were working at a garden. With growth like that. I honest to god thought you were pulling my leg. Then I watched the video. At times in various stages of disbelief and shock. Your worth ethic and willingness to getit done is truly next level. Most guys I know would want a full crew or wouldn't do it period.

[@Doktor00Magnus]

Great to see young people with such ambition, polite mannerisms, and a desire to reach excellence in their work…bravo!

[@annheide8856]

Great Video, Sid! Have yourself a Merry Christmas. I live in a land of no moss, Western Colorado, USA. It always amazes me how much a nemesis moss can be❤.

[@silkedavid8876]

Wow, what an excellent job! I expected the surface to be much worse with holes and uneven. Ah, A good old German Schnee Schaufel. Seems not be that easy to get hold of ordering here in England. Not sure how many international viewers you've got, but maybe I can get my sister in Germany to get you one.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

That was it! Yes please!!

[@MaditaFin]

To be on the safe side, I recommend buying 2 of them by the same token.

Certainly ending the year with a bang. Thanks for a great year of videos, and best wishes for a wonderful 2024.

My wife is laughing at how invested I am in this video. "Oh no, he's doing it all by himself, it looks back breaking!" "Oh no, the spinny tool isn't doing enough, he's going to have to shovel it!" "C'mon British dude, you got this bro!" I love your channel but based on this video alone, if you are ever in Houston Texas I will buy you a feast of American barbecue and beer (it'll be served cold, that's just how it is).

This is an incredible video! As someone who works on the ground itself, in every way shape and form - I think you did this the most manual and physically demanding way possible. What an incredible work ethic, and you are clearly in excellent physical health, with strong lung capacity and high testosterone to maintain the endurance to do this; and have each motion be a productive one. This could literally pass for a labor of love. 💕 this is I’m sorry to reuse the same word this is incredible.
