TRAGIC Fire Burned Her Equipment - FREE Yard Makeover WELL Deserved!

This one is a little wild. You'll see in the video all the crazy stuff that has happened to Janice, and what she continues to battle every day. I sincerely enjoyed meeting her and helping through a dark time. Her friend Rich was really awesome to give me TWO dozen ProV1 golf balls. If you're a golfer you'll know how generous that is.
After this makeover I made the trip from WI to MI via the upper peninsula, capturing some scenery along the way. The best part is seeing and driving over the Mackinac Bridge. I give some statistics on that bridge. I hope you find it interesting.
I appreciate you watching. Every time you "like" a video and comment on it, you help support my page which just allows me to keep finding more people to help. So we're on the same team with this venture, and I appreciate you!
If you'd like to "buy me a coffee" and support the work I'm doing, you're really paying it forward yourself, which is so kind of you! Here is the link: buymeacoffee.c...

Bret did a amazing job and my prayers were answered when I saw his ad. I lost all my garden tools in the fire so he was definitely a Godsend. I was so overwhelmed with everything going on. He did this after working his 8 Hour shift for 2 days. Again Bret thank you so much. You don’t find many people like you around. Janice

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

You deserved to have something nice happen to you. I'm glad you reached out to me and it was great to meet you!

[@SFHCommish_1]

👋🏻Janice! From Springfield Mo!

[@SFHCommish_1]

Hey neighbor! 👋🏻

[@josephlanguemi]

Awesome! Nuff said.

[@131dyana]

Thank you for helping that lady. You are so kind. Great job done there by you. God bless.

[@ValerieJohnson-i5n]

Many blessings to Janice for a full home recovery. Thank you, Bret for being available and helping Janice during this challenging time. The work performed looks beautiful.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Thank you. She's a very nice woman. Was so glad to do it.

[@kathyjean4785]

It looks beautiful! A blessing for her family.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Thank you!

[@Sweetencourager21]

Bless your heart sir, you answered the call and helped a much deserving lady. I’ve driven over that bridge when I drove from Alberta Canada through the States back to Ontario. We stayed on Mackinaw island. Absolutely beautiful there.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

I wish more people could visit that island. Pretty neat!

[@lindalaflamme8904]

Amazing! So much hope !

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Thanks Linda!

[@alicetatum6049]

Good job.!!💯👍

[@KarenDoty-rh1im]

You did a nice thing for this lady. I thoroughly enjoyed the footage of the lake. It’s absolutely beautiful. Good job on the yard. I can’t believe she’s going through cancer treatments and still out there working away. She’s a tough woman. Bravo to all involved.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Thank you Karen! Yes I couldn't believe she was out there either. She's feisty as can be and worked VERY hard that day. Such a nice woman too.

[@MartinCzajkowski-kr1ek]

From your down south friend (Texas). Your old edging is on point. You can edge my driveway/walkway anytime. You are awesome.

[@carolgadles7045]

That was such a beautiful, amazing job you did for this lovely lady, she was so sweet and thankful. God Bless both of you 🙏🙏🙏

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Sand dunes in Michigan? ! I'm in New Mexico; I did not Know... loved the drive! Great video. Thanks.

[@cerithomas2032]

That was lovely , good job , hope janice will be ok 🙂

[@latrisharobinson5280]

Good job..😊😊

[@lynnmorang174]

Great job! Love the bridge footage, I got married behind the lighthouse next to the Mighty Mac on the shore of Lake Huron. The bridge for some reason has always been a special thing to me. Walked it on Labor Day a couple of years back❤😊

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Thanks Lynn. As a kid we vacationed in the UP so always anticipated the crossing and seeing it. Good memories. Glad you liked it. Thanks for the nice comments!

[@roofis8333]

Great job! I'm going to put that bridge crossing on my bucket list :)

[@Kiwi_Jo]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video 🙂 A very worthy project to take on. You did a great job, one less burden for Janice to worry about. She and Rich were very appreciative. Thanks for taking us on the scenic drive, what a lovely part of the world! That's one helluva long bridge, interesting stats. Nice gift from Rich, love the idea of J for Janice on the golf balls and the sentiment behind it. Best wishes to Janice, she's a lovely, determined lady ❤🥰

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Thank you Jo, that's so nice. I love reading your comments!

[@DonnaO3184]

Great job! What a blessing,the yard looked wonderful...

[@amyhughes4214]

Thank you for taking us over the bridge.

[@dfwait14]

I've driven over and back twice on the bridge. Breathtaking!!!

[@88clemoine]

Great job bud. As a firefighter I can appreciate the heat that comes from a fire. Not many people realize how far the heat from even a small fire like a shed can travel. And they usually go for the garden hose right away. This is why we always tell people to just cal 911 and stay away from the fire. Material items can be replaced. And as for the parking there on the street. You were the only one legally parked and every vehicle that had to squeeze by probably called you the A-hole. Lol. 🎉🎉✌️😎

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

That was a TIGHT street. Definitely not normal. Must be a neighborhood thing. A little shed and look what it did to the siding on the house. Crazy! I didn't know you were a firefighter. Cool.

[@88clemoine]

@@UpNorthMowingDude Yeah that’s where the 88 comes from. It’s my badge/call number.

[@amyhughes4214]

Than you so much for helping Janice!! Another great job. I suggest you start making check lists before each job. It will help you remember everything. 😊

[@yvonnebrown2342]

Great tidy grateful family, awesome footage of Mackinac bridge thank you very much , 😎😛😍😘

[@markstanfield4345]

Great Job , such a sweet lady.

[@keithmillner6620]

Yard looks good one thing get you a stand up lawn mower so it will so tiring for you but still keep the push mower for tight places

[@dochubbell]

While this is not a huge project of overgrown stuff, it IS a case of someone needing help due to loosing all their gardening equipment and no way to keep their yard up. You are a good man for driving all that way and making a difference for this family with a string of bad luck. Your work means one less worry for a bit till they can catch up. Bless you for what you do.

[@nicholasblohowiak29]

You should’ve got ahold of me while you were up here. I would’ve bought you dinner. I live in northern Menominee county. I would have meet you in Escanaba.

[@SFHCommish_1]

MAN! you did GREAT! JAR-ED GOFF! JAR-ED GOFF! JAR-ED GOFF! 😅

[@shawnsourk2448]

You did an awesome job. It does look like there is one, if not possibly, two trees in the back that need to come down while you had your trailer there. Will you be doing the upkeep on the lawn?

[@patladner5026]

😯 thanks for sharing, I didn’t know that about the bridge. How many miles long?

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@patladner5026 It's 5 miles long, amazingly.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

What do you do with h the trash

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

All the burned stuff her friends hauled away. All the yard waste I take to a compost facility.

[@murieljames4022]

I’m trying to figure out why Janice (the owner) is doing that shed work when your homeowners insurance does restoration cleanup, also?

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Homeowners covered very little, including not covering the clean up.

[@GoldenNugget.]

Wow, looks just Great !! 🤗 Such a Good Job You Always Do ! Take Care & God Bless You! 🙏😇🩵 I can't believe you do this all for nothing, your Ever so Kind & Caring !! 👍😃

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Hey there. Thank you!
