As a Paramedic seeing this, that was actually crazy to watch. The electricity could have arched through your body stoping your heart in the process since both your hands were on the machine. Very lucky there was some insulation to stop it. I would always recommend having 2 of you on the jobsite and carrying an automatic external defibrillator in your truck for emergencies. Be trained in cpr and basic first aid. Super lucky al. I've seen where some aren't as lucky as you. Very blessed to say the least.
Electricity can be some scary stuff, gotta respect it for sure, Al is very lucky indeed. Just as was a co-worker of mine, he had his keys in his keys we used at work, he was shutting down the main breaker if the engines we used that night, his keys made contact with the knife switch. The electricity shot through him, down his leg, he’s lucky he was standing on a thick rubber padding on the floor, or it may have been worse. This was just the power from the batteries to start up the prime mover, and for other items, had it been the 480 volts used to power the passenger cars, the outcome would have been much different.
@jeb3415 I am retired phone company, and I cringe every time I see the ground wires not connected for the utility boxes on the sides of houses. Abandoned or not.
In 'Canada's Worst Handyman' show they gave the contestants an electrical challenge and told them the crew turned off the power to their work areas during the demo. The contestants then went back to their rooms and started working immediately at which point the host and experts went to each and chastised them for not checking the power first. One contestant said they thought it was okay cause they said the power was off, the host told him "It doesn't matter what you think when your dead."
Yes my grandfather was an electrical engineer and he always told me to check and double check. He said turn all lights on and turn them off from the breaker box till the room you're working in goes off. He said, if already off? make everyone stand outside the room turn it on then back off from the breaker box then go in after verifying the right breaker or breakers were selected.
I mean thats pretty shitty. If my coworker says he turned off the electricity i wont go check it myself. Just like 20 people wont do it themselves each on a jobsite.
@@stojo33 My grandfather said, "It is always better to be safe then sorry." Couple of minutes is worth knowing for sure you won't get zapped. I trust my co-workers but what if he turned it off and someone went back and turned it on to look for something and forgot to turn it back off or say something? Happens...
My pawpaw used to work for a telephone company as a lineman a long time ago. One day he ended up getting into a power line and got electrocuted. And these are high voltage stuff. Usually residential receive about 120-240v, large commercial receives around 277-480v. the stuff he got into was about 375v I believe… As the two guys that was with him was trying to bring him down the pole, his harness got caught on one of the spikes. They tried and tried to get him untangled and wasn’t having much luck. They was about to cut the harness and let him drop to the ground when they pulled really hard one last time, keep in mind my pawpaw wasn’t breathing at all and a lot of time had passed trying to get him untangled. When they pulled the last time he took a deep breath in. Knowing that he was alive they eventually was able to get him down the pole and to the hospital. Thanks to the greatness and mercy of the Lord above, he made a full recovery and kept on working and providing for his family like it never happened… The Lord definitely was watching over him that day, and he was definitely watching over you on this job here.
he did not get electrocuted he got shocked the difference is electrocution literally means electro like electricity and cution like execution so if you are electrocuted it means you died and your cause of death was a fatal electric shock or “electrocution”.
@@jacksonforman9560 He didn't get either. Since he was holding rubber. that's the only thing that saved his life. If you're talking about Bubb comment if you read it. His grandfather died.. and then was able to be resuscitated. Which in fact means he was electrocuted.
@@EastCoastGamingHFX not true. in the story he said that he was stuck up there and they saw him breathing. they did not use a defibrillator or cpr also even if they did that doesn’t mean he was dead. for a defibrillator to work there still needs to be cardiovascular activity meaning your heart is beating very slowly or faintly and the machine shocks your heart back into rhythm. cpr is essentially doing the same thing but not as well what cpr is great for though is keeping your blood circulating. it is not medically possible to bring someone back from the dead however with modern medicine and advancement over the past 80 years we have gotten really good at stopping people from dying completely.
Thank goodness Tre came by and hung out. That's a good buddy you got there. You obviously had a guardian angel there with you too. I hope when you got home you hugged your wife and kids extra tight. Lesson learned is the important thing here. 💚
Same here. As soon as I saw the moss hanging from the wire I thought to myself that he surely wouldn't be sticking his wee whacker up there. Then shook my head when he did. I used to manage a mobile home park and evicted a lot of tenants. I know what kinds of things lurk beneath rubble and tall grass that could break a lawn mower, too.
It wasn't hidden. The metal conduit riser bringing power to the house had been disconnected and was bent over right in front of him. Also, the service drop wires were clearly visible. The big hint should have been the open panel box on the wall.
Glad I live here in Alaska! I would rather work around moose and bears than spiders and snakes!!! Glad you’re ok now and be very aware of hidden things like loose wires, gas hook ups, creepy people, etc! You are very brave! And you do amazing work!
Al, this is the second video in a row where you made me cry. DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU, DEAR MAN. The thought of a world without you in it is too much to bear.
Hallo Al👋🏼 I just want to tell you that when ever you start to feel down again, just know that GOD is realy protecting you. You not being injured by that electrical wire is a sign that GOD needs you to bless more people. GOD bless you and anyone reading this❤
It’s so good to see you back Al!❤I’m glad you were not hurt making over this yard! It’s always a pleasure seeing you out cleaning up the neighborhood and helping others out!😊❤
Al, only you would continue to finish the yard after such a near-death experience! Others would say, "woo, that was too scary! I'm outta here!" Not you. Your dedication is commendable. The definition of a dedicated worker.
This was like watching a Final Destination film where you know something bad is going to happen and everything makes you think the moment has arrived but then it doesn't and when it finally does, you aren't ready for it. Glad Al is OK. Stay safe, brother!
I was thinking that this was link an Alfred Hitchcock movie, knowing something "dramatic" is going to happen and being on edge watching and just waiting for it to happen.
My man. Talked to you before. Fellow Fort Pierce guy. Didn't think you'd do something like this. After 14 years as a phone lineman, alarms were screaming in my head... Always treat power drops like a gun, assume they're loaded and ready to shoot. If you don't know what you're looking at, find someone that does. If you only got one leg from the power drop, its 120v, but problem is that its straight out of the transformer! So no breakers unless the transformer dip switch blows... Amps could be around 250! That's enough to blow your feet clean off...! Lots of guys in the phone company have died making the assumption things weren't hot. Please be careful my friend! Keep calm and mow on!
AL..I'm still n shock.. The Lord said not 2day.. Al, we r keeping u n prayer. U r truly blessed. Keep doing ur good deeds 🙏👍. That's a good looking front now.😊
@@joanneriley3899 moss, hanging from a power line. I'm not trying to shit on al, not by any stretch of the imagination... just a P.S.A. for everyone... Don't fuck with power lines unless you know what you're doing...
WHOA! Good thing that neighbor was keeping an eye on you! It’s always a good idea to have a “spotter” in case of situations like that! Happy you are ok! ❤
Oh Al! I am so sorry you had to go through this dude! Please don’t let this set you back! You’re doing a good thing and you need to believe that there is an almighty watching over you and he will continue to. We love you, Al! Glad you’re OK!
god was watching over him? He was lucky.....that's all. What does your god do, let people come close to death and then protects them? What a horrible god you believe in.
@@minimalist_monk Well that a crappy way to look at it. Your god created a world that allows children to be raped and killed...then gives those killers an out with a "come to Jesus" moment. That would dismiss the suffering of all those children and the suffering of those who loved those children. You good with that. Have your morals gone away because you fear death and hope your god exist so you can have eternal life? Is that what you are? Geez. That god doesn't exist and if it does...your god is a monster.
Yes Al you dodged the bullet with that electric line and not getting bit by the Wolf spider on the wooden fence. Like a trooper you marched on. Great video !
Wow! That was close, Al! Little snakes, huge spiders and untamed electricity, all in one video. This was a very crazy job! I’m glad you’re okay. Take care!
i used to tell my helpers to always treat electricity like a dog ready to bite you because if you dont give it all the respect it deserves.. it will..!!!
(Electrician for 20+ years) I Love your analogy! Never heard that one before and you'll be dam sure that I'll be using it in the future! Cheers Edward.
@@JSp4wN 14 years hear in the field now retired.. an old man electrician said that once to me.. he also said that when god said let there be light he was the one who pulled the chain..!!! lol
Glad to see you back at it. I used to mow a few old folk's yards, on my street. They would be so overgrown and neglected, and I could tell no one would object to me improving them. I never had a riding mower, but mine were always "power-assisted" to the front wheels, mowers. I loved improving and beautifying their yards. I saw the weeds as my enemy and I would cut them all down, with my gas string trimmer. I enjoyed pruning their shrubs, and shaping them up. I'd only have to do it twice a summer. Exposing a buried walk-way, is a major improvement. I appreciate your positive attitude and hard work.
Al comes back with a "BANG" ! Thankfully you weren't hurt. Be careful around moss hanging off houses. You never know what it is hiding. So glad you are safe .
WOW ! Not only do you have to watch out for a poisonous spiders , snakes , bees nests , debris an objects in the yard. Now you have to pay attention to overhead wires that can kill you. 🙏 I'm pretty sure your guardian angel was working that day. 💯 Thanks for the video Al
Al, I got scared when I saw that. And I wasn't even there. Just shows, no matter what you're doing, you've got to be careful. Glad you're still here. Great job on the yard. 😊
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. It was awesome and terrifying all at once. I want to tell you a true story about a man I know. When he was 26 years old he was the manager of 7 food concession units. Six, were roll offs placed using a massive forklift. Each one was 8' square. Each of these units were fed approximately 250000v. Part of the man's job was hooking up the power to each of his units. It was drizzling out, the ground was wet, yet he successfully set up all of the six roll offs. Now each unit was supplied via 4, 1/2" copper wires. Each end of the wire had a 3/4" locking cam encased in a specific color rubber. Green, White, Black, Red. The "sow" aka generator, was in full displacement, it was pushing millions of volts. I don't know how many exactly. The man was using a headlamp with a white beam. Just as he was ready to set up his largest unit, a 26' trailer powered by around 750000v his head lamp quit. Frustrated as I was, yes this miracle story is about me, I went in search of a friend who might loan me his. The time is approximately 130am. I was cursing the weather, the time but NEVER one of my 30 employees, and just felt like damn!. But I got families of employees that depend on my operations running smoothly and efficiently. So I sucked it up, I knelt down, turned on the lamp but did not recognize the yellow hue, I picked up what I saw was the ground cam and went to plug it in and the very second my hand carried it to the piglet I saw the mistake, I had made but it was too late, I remember a three inch spark. Witnesses, all 250 odd people present. Said the night turned brilliant white for a 1 mile radius and the subsequent explosion shattered windows nearby. I was thrown in an arc approximately 36' long and 16' off the ground to be slammed with such force into the very unit I was supplying that it lifted the 30000 lb trailer onto two wheels before slamming back down throwing my lifeless body ten feet away. Let me stop here to tell you that 1 month before I had taught my employees CPR. When the trailer flipped up it dislodged the coka cola syrup containers hitting one of my employees in the leg and dislocated his knee, he said to me later we saw you die but we had to try so i slammed my leg back into place and within seconds we flipped you over in it was obvious at that moment you were gone but we began CPR anyway with no though that you could not be saved. I watched the employees flip me over and the two did not stop for over twenty minutes till an ambulance arrived. Only then did they relent in their efforts. The EMT hit me with the electrical thingy and got a nearly non-existent pulse, very erratic, the 15 minute drive saw my heart stop for 3 more minutes. When I was wheeled into the emergency room,I was hooked up to everything, and it was determined that I was comatose with zero brain activity. They put me on life support and on a minute by minute observation. Around six hours later my heart stopped again and for 7 minutes they worked frantically short of putting hands on my heart before they rebooted it. At this point. The doctor said to contact my family for consent to remove me from life support because as he understood things, taking everything into account, I was not going to be able to survive. On my own. And if I did I would most likely live in a bed for the rest of my life. He at the point took me off the bed watch. 35 minutes later I woke up. I didn't recognize my surroundings, I removed all the tubes, IVs, and wires from my body. And had jumped out of the bed and naked as the day I was born I was, according to all who were present standing as a wild-eyed feral demon in the form of a man and everything around me was a weapon. Not one individual approached me. They were terrified. Each of them, knowing, that not only would I kill but that it was only an act of a divine power that I was standing and communicating so effectively. Each of them knows that NO one has ever recorded a survivor of what i had experienced. This was Only God's will I was not lucky, only blessed. You were NOT lucky, you were being watched over by my father GOD in heaven. God bless you always and keep up the fantastic work.❤
That is an awesome creative writing fiction story! Did you win any awards for it, since the voltages you cite are pure BS, and that there is no way the whole explosion, lifting 15 ton trailers, etc. thing is also pure BS?
You bring up an interesting subject. As homes deteriorate without owners, squatters damage the structures, storms go through, people may also try to make unauthorized/off code connections to have utilities...all this adds-up to the potential of running across unsafe situations. Very glad you had some help keeping you from running into a full disaster. With tree trimming, we were told to examine yards for where lines run through the air, through plants (which can conduct power by contact or proximity), etc. We've all seen vines wrap along lines as well. 12:54 all this doesn't detract from the fact you are recovering the form of this yard and giving a needed assist to the neighborhood. It seems like the workers said that the house was permitted to be repaired, so your boost of a cleanup should be helpful all-around.
I wasn't as stressed watching once Tre showed up. Not only for if someone was in the house, but to have two sets of eyes to watch your truck and equipment. Also, if you did get shocked Tre could have revived you. Glad he was there. And glad you are still here too.
I was wondering who that other guy was….. I thought he came out the house & just kept watching 😂 Well that’s great to know it’s a friend watching his back
Of all the different free yard clean up TH-camrs, you have THE most exciting channel! I’m trying to always watch your videos, because you never know what craziness is going to strike. But, you know that most times something wild will happen! Take care of yourself. You’re such a good guy and your family and community need you. Wishing you the very best of life!
One other TH-cam guy found a dead guy in a house. He smelled him. Sounds strange but the police found my cousin dead in his house yesterday. Happens when you live alone.
Spencer from SB mowing had a video several months ago where he found a badly hurt kitty, so he called around & found 1 rescue that would help the kitty. He got the kitty there, named it Esby & raised a bunch of money for the rescue, thereby saving the rescue & a bunch more animals. One news report said the rescue had been super close to having to close due to lack of money before he arrived. So he saved the kitty, the rescue & a bunch of other animals with the help of his awesome viewers. These guys have some wild days & definitely someone watching out for them. ❤❤😺 I love watching Al & Spencer & a few others helping out strangers one yard at a time. ❤❤
Al I always said you were an Earth Angel for taking care of abandoned and properties that owners couldnt take care of because of disabilities or hard times! God is with you love! God sees what you do, and approves! Keeping you safe always❤ Sending a hug! From old lady in Reno Nevada!
Al you are the coolest. Never a dull moment with you. You are how I wish everyone would be. Tre makes it a perfect duo. I am glad you are doing better. Keep mowing and posting. We will keep watching.
Glad to see you back again doing what you love to do. Stay safe. Midwest Magic Cleaner mentioned you last week! Maybe y'all can get together some time!
You might say that the whole experience was electrifying. I have had some electrical shocks, never fun ,but God spared me. You are blessed and glad you are still here. Continue to be a blessing because you are. Bless you and your family. In Jesus name
It’s been a year for you, Al. If this latest experience doesn’t show you that God has His Hands of protection on you, I don’t know what does. Thank God you were saved to go home to your beautiful family. Stay safe out there and we’ll keep watching. Take nothing for granted. God is SO Great!!! 🙏❤️
Thank God you weren't hurt! His hand was under yours to keep you from harm. You are here for a purpose, Al. Never doubt His power, His grace or His love for you. God bless you!

Through all your good deeds, someone from above is watching over you. Thank you for all that you do and I'm very glad and grateful you're still here with us making great videos. God bless.
Or under the category "Stop doing abandoned properties". There are a lot of people who actually need and would benefit from the job, but the "mowing community" decided to stop helping people and started to do these "dumps", who nobody cares or needs.
@@Rapha2587 I understand your point completely and I'd much rather see Al Blades, Spencer, Kevin Hansen and Sean Stockman only work on homes that people live in. It just seems more meaningful. However, it's much easier to find a home that's been abandoned that needs help than one that someone is living in because there are so many more of the abandoned version. These guys drive around for hours looking for these properties that need makeovers. It's not easy to find them.
Sorry about that. I just told the Boring Channel that I know of a woman in Pitt county,NC that has not been cut going on 6 years now and we just went through Debbie . And now it's even worse than it was before . She has lupus and she is almost totally helpless. It would make a good video of a destroyed yard clean up.
I too have lupus so I know some of what she's going through. I thank God for protecting Al and for all he does. I am thankful so many people are blessed by him and others like him.
Al, I am so glad you are alright!!. What a horrible scare!! Omg!! Igotta mom rant on you!! I don't understand why in the world any of you would cut a lawn of an empty house!? Wasn't the goal always to help those who struggle to help themselves?! Is your liability insurance crazy expensive? Cause their is no owner here for your wife to go after!!....anyway..I recently unsubscribed to sb mowing because he rarely mows for people in need these days. This is just crazy scary!
Al is awesome!! I'm a subscriber to his channel. He definitely had his guardian angel looking after him for sure. I'm currently watching a video that he did last year here on TH-cam. Have a blessed day!! 😁👍
Thankfully God is watching over you . And very grateful that you had someone with you on this job . Happy to see back at mowing. Great job on this project. Stay blessed and know God is always on duty.
Phew! I live in Germany and all these free flying wires are crazy. Our power lines to the houses are all under ground. This is so wild. I'm so glad nothing bad happened to you.
Divine intervention? So a god could keep him alive but he couldn't stop him from touching the live wire? That's one evil prick. Was this god just amusing himself?
Agreed! Ya I ain’t saying nothing but Mr AL, you just got back after a month from a health scare & just left the hospital from surgery & the 1st day back on the job, what happens, you just almost got electrocuted, I ain’t tying to say nothing Mr AL but it might be a good idea to try to get closer to God, maybe start praying & reading His Word & check out a nearby church, I’m just saying, anyways, Y’all be safe & have a blessed day. 🙏😊
OMG Al, you’re so blessed. The man upstairs was looking out for you today. I’m sure you’ll be more careful in the future. You did a good job on the property, considering the hazardous conditions. Stay safe, healthy, happy, productive,& blessed.💯😱💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Glad you’re okay. That was close! This yard is a good example of where I recommend people mow a couple of strips along the street, driveway, and sidewalks, shooting the grass up into the yard first and then edge. That way you’re not cutting through so much grass when you’re edging, saving lots of time. There’s also less cleanup. If you do it right, and blow the grass from edging into the yard where it hasn’t been cut, you only have to blow everything off, once. I do this every week.
Al you scared the heck out of me! 😳 Please be more careful when helping people out! I feel like your guardian angels were on the job! Thank God! 😇 Glad you are safe! Much Love ❤
remember as you mow listen to your body. if you’re feeling tired or muscles are aching that’s a sign you need to rest. I was with a personal trainer last year and she told me as you work out Listen to your body if you’re getting tired that means to slow down or rest. people don’t listen to their bodies she says they push through it so I hope this helps you to listen to your body. You are getting tired or muscles are getting sore just take a break for while great show. Glad you’re fine.❤❤❤
So thankful you weren't hurt! What a first day back! What a blessing! Thank you for the neighbor hanging out with you & the others that came to be of help!
I've been shocked before by lightening coming into my home via the telephone line as I was talking on a cordless phone. My hand, arm and shoulder were sore for a week. You are definitely BLESSED!
WOW LUCKY LUCKY YOU! Also Lucky the DELAND FIRE DEPARTMENT who got a free blurp showing really quick responce in their beautiful blue and white fire engine! That was also quick timing of the power company!
God takes care of good people Al and you’re one of the best!! I’m so grateful that He was watching out for you and kept you safe on this yard!! You’re in my prayers always 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
That doesn’t make sense that god takes care of good people. So when a child dies from cancer or drowns then that child isn’t a good person? Why does a bad person, like a drunk driver, survive an accident after killing others? Your logic is mind boggling.
@@chasetonga that’s not what I meant at all… God has a plan for each of our lives and although we don’t always understand or agree why we have to trust His plan. I’m sorry that’s all you took away from my comment. God is good ALWAYS and He doesn’t promise a perfect life He only promises that He will be with us through the good and bad. Al could have died very easily but obviously that wasn’t Gods plan. I will pray for you and the hurt inside your heart that made u make that comment 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻. I love you friend♥️
@@pamgriffith1937 That is not what your comment sounded like. Pray for me all you want, but it won’t matter. I AM a good person without god. I don’t need well wishers to give me any sort of security or confidence. I know how I live my life is the right way, without the indoctrination. I’m a way better person than religious people and their hypocrisy. Just an FYI, religion (Catholics and Protestants) screwed my family over during WWII, so guess what? Religion lost out on generations of my family. Why is your religion any better than other religions, or no religion at all anyway? The most abhorrent things about religion is indoctrination, grifting for money and pedophilia. Weak minded people let someone else tell them what they should think. It’s just sad.
Dang Al, you're very blessed to be alive! That is great that you lived through that experience! Please please be extra careful around electricity in the future! Keep doing good in the world, God bless you!
God blessed you and kept you safe . All the good work you do is a blessing for the neighborhood . Whoever owns that is lucky that you did that for them also . Please stay safe !😊💖
Glad you are ok! Don’t assume anything! Also I recommend that next time you are in a neighborhood and nobody answers the door you should tape a small note to each adjacent property with a quick blurb about what you’re doing and a link to your channel. Would help keep people in the know.
Al, God was watching out for you. My Cousin was on a big machine, I don't know what it's called. Him and another man were on it. A storm rolled in from nowhere. My Cousin told the other man to jump, then my Cousin did but part of his hand touched the metal just as lightning hit the machine. #1. My Cousin is very lucky to be alive, God was watching out for him as well. He was in the hospital for quite awhile. He lost some fingers on that hand and the lightening went through his body and out of his foot. He also lost 3 toes. He still has pain to this day and that was over 5 years ago, maybe even 10 years. He jokes about it. His name is Joe and people call him 2 toe'd Joe. I still call him Joey. Al, I am so glad you are okay.
I have watched your videos a long time.. I am happy you are alright..May our Lord God bless you every day and keep you safe so you can bless others with your love of taking care of peoples yards that need your help. Thank you Al. You have a wonderful heart.
Guy says move your truck or somebody might get mad, then a firetruck and a big group of people are out standing in the middle of the street 😅 Glad you're okay.
As a Paramedic seeing this, that was actually crazy to watch. The electricity could have arched through your body stoping your heart in the process since both your hands were on the machine. Very lucky there was some insulation to stop it. I would always recommend having 2 of you on the jobsite and carrying an automatic external defibrillator in your truck for emergencies. Be trained in cpr and basic first aid. Super lucky al. I've seen where some aren't as lucky as you. Very blessed to say the least.
Just so happy to see you safe Al
Electricity can be some scary stuff, gotta respect it for sure, Al is very lucky indeed. Just as was a co-worker of mine, he had his keys in his keys we used at work, he was shutting down the main breaker if the engines we used that night, his keys made contact with the knife switch. The electricity shot through him, down his leg, he’s lucky he was standing on a thick rubber padding on the floor, or it may have been worse. This was just the power from the batteries to start up the prime mover, and for other items, had it been the 480 volts used to power the passenger cars, the outcome would have been much different.
Al please be more careful. Have someone on these jobs with you please. You ate a good person. We need you to be OK. Amen.
2 on a site isn't possible when you're a solo independent contractor. The simple solution is to assume there is power going through every wire.
@@straightto8
As a former electric company worker, I would say that was an illegal connection… someone getting some free power. Very glad you are okay Al.
I was thinking the same thing
@jeb3415 I am retired phone company, and I cringe every time I see the ground wires not connected for the utility boxes on the sides of houses. Abandoned or not.
Yeah, if you look at the video when he was cutting around the front porch ramp a man walked from behind the house down the street
@@billandbeverly That was Tre...
@@billandbeverly That was his buddy. Lol. I noticed it also and did a rewind.
In 'Canada's Worst Handyman' show they gave the contestants an electrical challenge and told them the crew turned off the power to their work areas during the demo. The contestants then went back to their rooms and started working immediately at which point the host and experts went to each and chastised them for not checking the power first. One contestant said they thought it was okay cause they said the power was off, the host told him "It doesn't matter what you think when your dead."
Lesson learned: ALWAYS check if the electricity is off
@@andmos1001 ET PORTEZ DES BOTTES BIEN ISOLANTES...
Yes my grandfather was an electrical engineer and he always told me to check and double check. He said turn all lights on and turn them off from the breaker box till the room you're working in goes off. He said, if already off? make everyone stand outside the room turn it on then back off from the breaker box then go in after verifying the right breaker or breakers were selected.
I mean thats pretty shitty. If my coworker says he turned off the electricity i wont go check it myself. Just like 20 people wont do it themselves each on a jobsite.
@@stojo33 My grandfather said, "It is always better to be safe then sorry." Couple of minutes is worth knowing for sure you won't get zapped. I trust my co-workers but what if he turned it off and someone went back and turned it on to look for something and forgot to turn it back off or say something? Happens...
My pawpaw used to work for a telephone company as a lineman a long time ago.
One day he ended up getting into a power line and got electrocuted. And these are high voltage stuff. Usually residential receive about 120-240v, large commercial receives around 277-480v. the stuff he got into was about 375v I believe…
As the two guys that was with him was trying to bring him down the pole, his harness got caught on one of the spikes.
They tried and tried to get him untangled and wasn’t having much luck. They was about to cut the harness and let him drop to the ground when they pulled really hard one last time, keep in mind my pawpaw wasn’t breathing at all and a lot of time had passed trying to get him untangled. When they pulled the last time he took a deep breath in.
Knowing that he was alive they eventually was able to get him down the pole and to the hospital.
Thanks to the greatness and mercy of the Lord above, he made a full recovery and kept on working and providing for his family like it never happened…
The Lord definitely was watching over him that day, and he was definitely watching over you on this job here.
It's not the volts that kills you. it's the amperage in the lines. Even in a home if the amps are high enough it can kill you.
Yup!! Exactly@@EastCoastGamingHFX
he did not get electrocuted he got shocked the difference is electrocution literally means electro like electricity and cution like execution so if you are electrocuted it means you died and your cause of death was a fatal electric shock or “electrocution”.
@@jacksonforman9560 He didn't get either. Since he was holding rubber. that's the only thing that saved his life. If you're talking about Bubb comment if you read it. His grandfather died.. and then was able to be resuscitated. Which in fact means he was electrocuted.
@@EastCoastGamingHFX not true. in the story he said that he was stuck up there and they saw him breathing. they did not use a defibrillator or cpr also even if they did that doesn’t mean he was dead. for a defibrillator to work there still needs to be cardiovascular activity meaning your heart is beating very slowly or faintly and the machine shocks your heart back into rhythm. cpr is essentially doing the same thing but not as well what cpr is great for though is keeping your blood circulating. it is not medically possible to bring someone back from the dead however with modern medicine and advancement over the past 80 years we have gotten really good at stopping people from dying completely.
Snakes, huge spiders AND electricity!!! Dangerous job you do there. Thank God you’re ok!
That spider was a Southern Tarantula!!! They’re docile and won’t bite unless you provoke it. Be careful out there!!
Wolf spider. They eat bugs. Leave them alone.
Thank goodness Tre came by and hung out. That's a good buddy you got there. You obviously had a guardian angel there with you too. I hope when you got home you hugged your wife and kids extra tight. Lesson learned is the important thing here. 💚
was no lesson learned i seen. he tried 3 times then 2 more times
@@ZeroDeg Which after so many times there can be a lesson learned.
Al, As a mom, please always walk your job looking for those hidden and dangerous surprises.
Your family needs you too!
Same here. As soon as I saw the moss hanging from the wire I thought to myself that he surely wouldn't be sticking his wee whacker up there. Then shook my head when he did. I used to manage a mobile home park and evicted a lot of tenants. I know what kinds of things lurk beneath rubble and tall grass that could break a lawn mower, too.
It wasn't hidden. The metal conduit riser bringing power to the house had been disconnected and was bent over right in front of him. Also, the service drop wires were clearly visible. The big hint should have been the open panel box on the wall.
Glad I live here in Alaska! I would rather work around moose and bears than spiders and snakes!!! Glad you’re ok now and be very aware of hidden things like loose wires, gas hook ups, creepy people, etc! You are very brave! And you do amazing work!
Al, your guardian angel was working overtime. You're so blessed to still be here.

AL. GOD has his hand upon you. Protecting you.
Your angel was sure on duty that day! Welcome back Al
Hallo Al👋🏼 I just want to tell you that when ever you start to feel down again, just know that GOD is realy protecting you. You not being injured by that electrical wire is a sign that GOD needs you to bless more people. GOD bless you and anyone reading this❤
Totally agree. I know God blessed him that day and probably many other times. When you do good things for others, you WILL be BLESSED!
It’s so good to see you back Al!❤I’m glad you were not hurt making over this yard! It’s always a pleasure seeing you out cleaning up the neighborhood and helping others out!😊❤
Al, only you would continue to finish the yard after such a near-death experience! Others would say, "woo, that was too scary! I'm outta here!" Not you. Your dedication is commendable. The definition of a dedicated worker.
That would be me, I would be like time to leave! You're a good person to do this job.

I was thinking that this was link an Alfred Hitchcock movie, knowing something "dramatic" is going to happen and being on edge watching and just waiting for it to happen.
My man. Talked to you before. Fellow Fort Pierce guy. Didn't think you'd do something like this. After 14 years as a phone lineman, alarms were screaming in my head... Always treat power drops like a gun, assume they're loaded and ready to shoot. If you don't know what you're looking at, find someone that does. If you only got one leg from the power drop, its 120v, but problem is that its straight out of the transformer! So no breakers unless the transformer dip switch blows... Amps could be around 250! That's enough to blow your feet clean off...! Lots of guys in the phone company have died making the assumption things weren't hot.
Please be careful my friend!
Keep calm and mow on!
AL..I'm still n shock.. The Lord said not 2day.. Al, we r keeping u n prayer. U r truly blessed. Keep doing ur good deeds 🙏👍. That's a good looking front now.😊

Glad to see you back at it. I used to mow a few old folk's yards, on my street. They would be so overgrown and neglected, and I could tell no one would object to me improving them. I never had a riding mower, but mine were always "power-assisted" to the front wheels, mowers. I loved improving and beautifying their yards. I saw the weeds as my enemy and I would cut them all down, with my gas string trimmer. I enjoyed pruning their shrubs, and shaping them up. I'd only have to do it twice a summer. Exposing a buried walk-way, is a major improvement. I appreciate your positive attitude and hard work.
It feels like I waited 2 years for this episode. Glad you're safe bro!
Al comes back with a "BANG" ! Thankfully you weren't hurt. Be careful around moss hanging off houses. You never know what it is hiding. So glad you are safe .
Al, we are all thankful you were not injured. Blessings.
WOW ! Not only do you have to watch out for a poisonous spiders , snakes , bees nests , debris an objects in the yard. Now you have to pay attention to overhead wires that can kill you. 🙏 I'm pretty sure your guardian angel was working that day. 💯
Thanks for the video Al

@@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf Why are you so rude and arrogant?
Hi Al it’s nice to see you back at work!! Happy and healthy ❤❤❤
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. It was awesome and terrifying all at once. I want to tell you a true story about a man I know. When he was 26 years old he was the manager of 7 food concession units. Six, were roll offs placed using a massive forklift. Each one was 8' square. Each of these units were fed approximately 250000v. Part of the man's job was hooking up the power to each of his units. It was drizzling out, the ground was wet, yet he successfully set up all of the six roll offs. Now each unit was supplied via 4, 1/2" copper wires. Each end of the wire had a 3/4" locking cam encased in a specific color rubber. Green, White, Black, Red. The "sow" aka generator, was in full displacement, it was pushing millions of volts. I don't know how many exactly. The man was using a headlamp with a white beam. Just as he was ready to set up his largest unit, a 26' trailer powered by around 750000v his head lamp quit. Frustrated as I was, yes this miracle story is about me, I went in search of a friend who might loan me his. The time is approximately 130am. I was cursing the weather, the time but NEVER one of my 30 employees, and just felt like damn!. But I got families of employees that depend on my operations running smoothly and efficiently. So I sucked it up, I knelt down, turned on the lamp but did not recognize the yellow hue, I picked up what I saw was the ground cam and went to plug it in and the very second my hand carried it to the piglet I saw the mistake, I had made but it was too late, I remember a three inch spark. Witnesses, all 250 odd people present. Said the night turned brilliant white for a 1 mile radius and the subsequent explosion shattered windows nearby. I was thrown in an arc approximately 36' long and 16' off the ground to be slammed with such force into the very unit I was supplying that it lifted the 30000 lb trailer onto two wheels before slamming back down throwing my lifeless body ten feet away. Let me stop here to tell you that 1 month before I had taught my employees CPR. When the trailer flipped up it dislodged the coka cola syrup containers hitting one of my employees in the leg and dislocated his knee, he said to me later we saw you die but we had to try so i slammed my leg back into place and within seconds we flipped you over in it was obvious at that moment you were gone but we began CPR anyway with no though that you could not be saved. I watched the employees flip me over and the two did not stop for over twenty minutes till an ambulance arrived. Only then did they relent in their efforts. The EMT hit me with the electrical thingy and got a nearly non-existent pulse, very erratic, the 15 minute drive saw my heart stop for 3 more minutes. When I was wheeled into the emergency room,I was hooked up to everything, and it was determined that I was comatose with zero brain activity. They put me on life support and on a minute by minute observation. Around six hours later my heart stopped again and for 7 minutes they worked frantically short of putting hands on my heart before they rebooted it. At this point. The doctor said to contact my family for consent to remove me from life support because as he understood things, taking everything into account, I was not going to be able to survive. On my own. And if I did I would most likely live in a bed for the rest of my life. He at the point took me off the bed watch. 35 minutes later I woke up. I didn't recognize my surroundings, I removed all the tubes, IVs, and wires from my body. And had jumped out of the bed and naked as the day I was born I was, according to all who were present standing as a wild-eyed feral demon in the form of a man and everything around me was a weapon. Not one individual approached me. They were terrified. Each of them, knowing, that not only would I kill but that it was only an act of a divine power that I was standing and communicating so effectively. Each of them knows that NO one has ever recorded a survivor of what i had experienced. This was Only God's will I was not lucky, only blessed. You were NOT lucky, you were being watched over by my father GOD in heaven. God bless you always and keep up the fantastic work.❤
Wow. Amazing story!🙏🏻
Amazing! YaH is so powerful, He has the last say so! Praise YaH for everything! ❤❤❤
That is an awesome creative writing fiction story! Did you win any awards for it, since the voltages you cite are pure BS, and that there is no way the whole explosion, lifting 15 ton trailers, etc. thing is also pure BS?
Thank God you are still alive. God was watching out for you.
You bring up an interesting subject. As homes deteriorate without owners, squatters damage the structures, storms go through, people may also try to make unauthorized/off code connections to have utilities...all this adds-up to the potential of running across unsafe situations. Very glad you had some help keeping you from running into a full disaster. With tree trimming, we were told to examine yards for where lines run through the air, through plants (which can conduct power by contact or proximity), etc. We've all seen vines wrap along lines as well. 12:54 all this doesn't detract from the fact you are recovering the form of this yard and giving a needed assist to the neighborhood. It seems like the workers said that the house was permitted to be repaired, so your boost of a cleanup should be helpful all-around.
I wasn't as stressed watching once Tre showed up. Not only for if someone was in the house, but to have two sets of eyes to watch your truck and equipment. Also, if you did get shocked Tre could have revived you. Glad he was there. And glad you are still here too.
I was wondering who that other guy was….. I thought he came out the house & just kept watching 😂 Well that’s great to know it’s a friend watching his back
Of all the different free yard clean up TH-camrs, you have THE most exciting channel! I’m trying to always watch your videos, because you never know what craziness is going to strike.

One other TH-cam guy found a dead guy in a house. He smelled him. Sounds strange but the police found my cousin dead in his house yesterday. Happens when you live alone.
He does live in Florida.....
Spencer from SB mowing had a video several months ago where he found a badly hurt kitty, so he called around & found 1 rescue that would help the kitty. He got the kitty there, named it Esby & raised a bunch of money for the rescue, thereby saving the rescue & a bunch more animals. One news report said the rescue had been super close to having to close due to lack of money before he arrived. So he saved the kitty, the rescue & a bunch of other animals with the help of his awesome viewers. These guys have some wild days & definitely someone watching out for them. ❤❤😺 I love watching Al & Spencer & a few others helping out strangers one yard at a time. ❤❤

@@Jacob-seek-Jesus-123 How about have him going to a synagogue or a muslim temple? Same results, right?
I believe Al has a power within that overflows to other people. He just didn't have room for any more power, thanks! Thanks for all you do, Al.
There's no such thing as luck.
You are blessed brother,and don't you forget it.👍👈🏻🤛🏽👊🏽✊🏿
OMG Al, you’re so blessed. The man upstairs was looking out for you today. I’m sure you’ll be more careful in the future. You did a good job on the property, considering the hazardous conditions. Stay safe, healthy, happy, productive,& blessed.💯😱💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Glad you are ok Al, from surgery and this accident! You're a national treasure and must be protected at all cost!!! Sending love from Ohio 🎉 ❤😊
Angels surround you, Al. I’m so grateful you were protected through this incident 🙏♥️
Be careful, nice to see you back at work.!
Glad to see you back and grateful that you weren't hurt with this incident!
Great job! Good Lord is by your side AL. Thank him at home! ❤
Glad you’re okay. That was close!
This yard is a good example of where I recommend people mow a couple of strips along the street, driveway, and sidewalks, shooting the grass up into the yard first and then edge. That way you’re not cutting through so much grass when you’re edging, saving lots of time. There’s also less cleanup. If you do it right, and blow the grass from edging into the yard where it hasn’t been cut, you only have to blow everything off, once.
I do this every week.
"Drama" isn't far away when I watch Al's makeovers . . . I'm glad you weren't hurt.
Always something
I have to tell you that watching you edge brought back, of loving to watch our yards being edged when I was very young. Heaertfelt, THANK YOU.
Al you scared the heck out of me! 😳 Please be more careful when helping people out! I feel like your guardian angels were on the job! Thank God! 😇 Glad you are safe! Much Love ❤
Glad you're back, doing what you LOVE 2 DO! GOD DOES ANSWER PRAYERS!🎉🎉
"YOU" are "BEYOND" amazing awesome, wonderful....there aren't enough words!!! THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!!
Thank God you’re okay, you definitely have a guardian angel!
remember as you mow listen to your body. if you’re feeling tired or muscles are aching that’s a sign you need to rest. I was with a personal trainer last year and she told me as you work out Listen to your body if you’re getting tired that means to slow down or rest. people don’t listen to their bodies she says they push through it so I hope this helps you to listen to your body. You are getting tired or muscles are getting sore just take a break for while great show. Glad you’re fine.❤❤❤
So thankful you weren't hurt! What a first day back! What a blessing! Thank you for the neighbor hanging out with you & the others that came to be of help!
This is confirmation that your time here is needed in this world 🌍. Seeing your positive attitude is contagious. ♥️☮️
I've been shocked before by lightening coming into my home via the telephone line as I was talking on a cordless phone. My hand, arm and shoulder were sore for a week. You are definitely BLESSED!
I thought that would only happen if you were on a corded phone.
@@ranelson714 A me, stessa situazione con il Mouse del PC in mano. naturalmente il PC è morto e per poco anche io.
@@ranelson714 Yeah, that's what I thought...physics, on the other hand, proved otherwise! 😊
It is completely and totally impossible.
@@TheSaw410 My experience is not up for debate. Bye Felicia!
Glad you back Al Bladez hope everything turn out well for you God Bless you
Nice to see you back. Be careful. The Lord is guiding your life.
You are blessed! And a blessing to so many. ❤
WOW LUCKY LUCKY YOU! Also Lucky the DELAND FIRE DEPARTMENT who got a free blurp showing really quick responce in their beautiful blue and white fire engine! That was also quick timing of the power company!
Wow, Thank you God. So happy your Angel's were with you. ❤ Nice job.
God takes care of good people Al and you’re one of the best!! I’m so grateful that He was watching out for you and kept you safe on this yard!! You’re in my prayers always 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
That doesn’t make sense that god takes care of good people. So when a child dies from cancer or drowns then that child isn’t a good person? Why does a bad person, like a drunk driver, survive an accident after killing others? Your logic is mind boggling.
@@chasetonga that’s not what I meant at all… God has a plan for each of our lives and although we don’t always understand or agree why we have to trust His plan. I’m sorry that’s all you took away from my comment. God is good ALWAYS and He doesn’t promise a perfect life He only promises that He will be with us through the good and bad. Al could have died very easily but obviously that wasn’t Gods plan. I will pray for you and the hurt inside your heart that made u make that comment 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻. I love you friend♥️
@@pamgriffith1937 That is not what your comment sounded like. Pray for me all you want, but it won’t matter. I AM a good person without god. I don’t need well wishers to give me any sort of security or confidence. I know how I live my life is the right way, without the indoctrination. I’m a way better person than religious people and their hypocrisy.
Just an FYI, religion (Catholics and Protestants) screwed my family over during WWII, so guess what? Religion lost out on generations of my family.
Why is your religion any better than other religions, or no religion at all anyway? The most abhorrent things about religion is indoctrination, grifting for money and pedophilia. Weak minded people let someone else tell them what they should think. It’s just sad.
Going forth, don’t assume the power is off. Call the power company to confirm 💯. Blessed, for real, wow!
Dang Al, you're very blessed to be alive! That is great that you lived through that experience! Please please be extra careful around electricity in the future! Keep doing good in the world, God bless you!
With everyone praying for you, you also have protection. Gods blessings continuing for you. Hi from California.
LMAO
God blessed you and kept you safe . All the good work you do is a blessing for the neighborhood . Whoever owns that is lucky that you did that for them also .
Please stay safe !😊💖
So glad you are feeling better after your surgery.
That was scary. Please be extra careful on these properties!!
Nice to see you back Al, and even more happy you’re ok after your electrical issue!! God watching over you my friend. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
🎶Workin' them Angels overtime🎶. Very glad you were not seriously injured or worse. Take care brother.
Glad you are ok! Don’t assume anything! Also I recommend that next time you are in a neighborhood and nobody answers the door you should tape a small note to each adjacent property with a quick blurb about what you’re doing and a link to your channel. Would help keep people in the know.
Welcome back. You were definitely missed.
Please stay safe.
Al, God was watching out for you. My Cousin was on a big machine, I don't know what it's called. Him and another man were on it. A storm rolled in from nowhere. My Cousin told the other man to jump, then my Cousin did but part of his hand touched the metal just as lightning hit the machine. #1. My Cousin is very lucky to be alive, God was watching out for him as well. He was in the hospital for quite awhile. He lost some fingers on that hand and the lightening went through his body and out of his foot. He also lost 3 toes. He still has pain to this day and that was over 5 years ago, maybe even 10 years. He jokes about it. His name is Joe and people call him 2 toe'd Joe. I still call him Joey. Al, I am so glad you are okay.
I am glad you didn’t get hurt.
Welcome back…… Health and wellness …….😉
HE was looking out for you. Thank goodness.
No. Thank God. He was your shield.
@@kathleenworkman2575 Amen.
I have watched your videos a long time.. I am happy you are alright..May our Lord God bless you every day and keep you safe so you can bless others with your love of taking care of peoples yards that need your help. Thank you Al. You have a wonderful heart.
Thank God you weren't injured, God Bless and continued success.
You’re giving your poor, frazzled guardian angel a run for the money! Glad you’re safe tho. And superb work as always with you.
Al "SPARKY" Blades, you never fail to entertain. Glad to see you are doing well after your surgery.
Good to see you back Al. Glad you dodged those crazy electrical wires. Another amazing lawn makeover. Well done. ☮️
Guy says move your truck or somebody might get mad, then a firetruck and a big group of people are out standing in the middle of the street 😅 Glad you're okay.
I bet that guy was the only one upset about the truck.
