    I just have to add. Look at Jim’s garden guys. This was a family home. A family that worked hard. Paid taxes and spent money to make a special place for their children. Jim was clearly a guys who could build and make things and he did his part. His taxes supported others. Let’s support him back. So many of our elderly in the UK have given for decades and are now forced to sell their homes and use their har earned pensions to pay for care. It’s been said already but it’s worth repeating. Reach out to your Neighbors. Help them with odd jobs. They build this country and deserve more that we are giving.

    I know two things about this... taking established vegetation out of the ground is back-breaking, having just removed several bushes myself. Letting Jim help, however he can, is supremely important. I cared for my father for decades, he lived independently until 91 and cancer took his mobility. Jim reminds me so much of him, proud and wonderful, but having a hard time letting others help. You've handled him with grace and given him dignity... good work! So enjoy your channel you are all so fun and amazing. Thank you.

My father had a similar issue in a way as my mother would not let anyone inside the house to repaint it so he had to wait until she was no longer with us and then have new windows, house painted inside etc (although very sadly in his case within 2 years he was struck with dementia... old age can be pretty nasty).

    I've been waiting all week to be able to sit down and watch this video and it was worth the wait. You guys got so much done in this one! Jim wanting to get a picture of you all together when you're near the end of the project is an amazing idea as I'm sure they won't forget you all in a hurry, you're making such an amazing difference. I wish you were closer to us as we clean the inside of homes for free and would have loved to be part of this project when you're doing the extension but sadly we aren't set up to travel atm. Would love to do a collab if you're ever in Scotland! X

    Jim's yard is HUGE - so glad to see his spirits being lifted as he feels safe to share his burdens with you and your team. We are designed to interconnect with one another - no one can do everything on their own. And I'm encouraged to think that Jim may be able to "putter" in the garden next spring with his wife on the deck watching/encouraging. You are prolonging their lives and drastically improving the quality/safety of their lives.

    BEN, sometimes I am lost for words because it's so emotional and I am so blown away by you and the chaps.. What an incredible job you are all doing for Jim. I'm just listening to Jim laughing when you opened the door of the horse cart😂😂😂😂 not to mention a good giggle from me, you guys, I knew something was up, thanks for the laughs Ben. My greatest wish is that you can get a great team on board for the extension, that would be a dream come true for Jim. So delighted we can all be on board with these amazing transformations Ben, you all deserve it more than you know. Loads of blessings coming your way mate. 🥰👏👏👏🤗
