Such a pretty little single-story Victorian. That gingerbread trim on the front porch says this was once a beautiful, LOVED home. Hopefully it can be again.
Maybe, but by the looks of it it's probably a tear-down. It's just so rotted out that the repairs would be too costly. Especially trying to keep it in-period. Just sucks when these beautiful old homes are left to rot. They really don't make them like they used to.
I can imagine how beautiful this home was in its day. Love the porch. When i saw the backyard i could imagine a huge garden filled with vegetables and melon plants. Yes, please do the nextdoor property. Thank you for all you do for the communities.
Ditto Its a doll house! I could see cows some goats chickens and a garden - what A Plot! That's space enough to provide abundance for the whole neighborhood - so sweet its like that little gem smiled (at the care in the clearing)
What a cozy little house. I wish someone would restore it. You gave it a little love. Yes, cut the yard next door. I'm sure the neighbors will appreciate it.
Yes, it would be a gem, but unfortunately a lot of these old Victorian's are in blighted parts of cities and most people who would want to take something on like that are wary of crime in those areas. Some areas get gentrified, but that displaces many low income residents. It's a tough one, for sure.
So many influencers get likes because they do their makeup or act stupid in front of the camera. I commend you for working so hard and contributing to these communities in such a positive way. You have earned your followers with blood, sweat and tears. Thank you, Great job!
Go for it! I am sure the neighbors will be thrilled to see that mess cleaned up. Why stop with one abandon yard mess, definitely do the one next-door also.
@@johnanonomous238 Pretty sure it's the town/city's problem to maintain the properties. Maintaining sidewalks and making sure grass isn't growing into the drains is definitely something the road crew should be handling before it gets this bad. I'm always amazed that these sidewalks can be so overgrown, but that probably is more of a warm climate thing, In places with cold winters clearing sidewalks of snow would keep them from getting full of dirt that causes grass to grow over them.
@@johnanonomous238 1) It's not their responsibility, 2) Did you see how big that backyard was? I'd barely be able to maintain my own yard & 3) Who has the money? Do you go around your neighborhood & maintain the yards of neighbors who don't? If so, contact Spencer & go help him. If not, just watch Spencer's video.
Such a shame to see a period house going to rot. Really cannot believe the size of the plot that house has. Credit to you and keep up the amazing work.
Totally agree it's a shame this house was left to rot. The front architecture shows individuality and pride of craftsmanship. Too bad they don't build houses like this anymore. Everything is seemingly cookie-cutter, quantity over quality. Awesome cleanup...amazing how just a little landscaping can instantly improve the value of a property.
I hate seeing beautiful old homes decay. This one is truly charming in a nice, mature setting. I wonder where it is, does anyone know? Once I became a homeowner I realized they’re actually organisms that require constant care and attention. Not some inanimate object that can withstand decades of neglect.
I don't understand how or why your community allows these homes to just remain vacant for so long, and also not maintained. If they were taxed for being vacant and unkept maybe owners would sell them. Here in Toronto they would build 3 houses on a property that size!
I don't know about all the rest of you, but when I see SB edge those nice straight lines by sidewalks and driveways, I'm amazed. When I use MY edger, I find it a lot more difficult and very tiring. And when SB scrapes up those clods of grass on sidewalks and driveways, he makes it look easy - for me it's a tough job. The guy is a dynamo.
Yes, a charming house that needs alot of love. Someone is paying taxes on that property. They should offer a low price, snag someone with a creative heart and restore it to it's original beauty. GREAT JOB SPENCER!!!
I don't know what regulations are like in the US, but i've restored and worked on properties in the UK and Ireland - this place looks rotted through; the siding is missing all above the porch, the decking is all warped, the railing and columns don't look good, neither does some of the roof areas. I have a feeling this would nearly be a full rebuild and that's why as nice as it was once, probably why it's abandoned now.

I was picking up my grandkids at school. There’s a soccer field at the school. Also another big area of grass connected to it. I saw an old guy mowing in the distance with a single blade mower. Me and the teachers were surprised. I walked out to talk to the guy. The church that runs the school has this guy work for them. He said the riding mower is broken. I loaded up my mower and knocked it out. My baby is a 22 horse power Husqvarna with flames.

I love watching the other landscapers, but, you, Spencer, are my favorite to watch. You are as thorough as possible and I love watching you make the sidewalks and curbs appear. It hard work, but you do great work! Thank you for your videos and your sacrifice of work.
I think he's one of my favorite also, but they all have big hearts to do this work for community's. Bless their hearts. I was just told I have cancer, I love doing yard work, and hope I will continue for a long time.
Absolutely fabulous job…brightening the whole area up and yet no one offers him a drink of any sort. What’s happening are all the manners and courtesy ways gone now. Well done man !!
@@deborahpaley21 study the video, there are people talking to him… if anyone in my area was making a difference, I’d be first there with hospitality. I wasn’t talking about any other videos…
Please do the second home of the two abandoned homes side by side. You do awesome work! I love to see the cleaning you do. I ‘m bed ridden now but felt the same way about laundry and such. Just a good feeling of something dirty being so clean. God Bless you always!
This place is crazy overgrown. It’s a good thing you’re not afraid of work. If I was one of the neighbors there I’d take up a collection and pay you to keep it mowed. Bless you young man. Can you imagine what a beautiful place this was in the past. It would cost a fortune to build one that detailed nowadays. ❤
Your talent, your generosity, and your kindness are truly inspiring. In a world where so much selfishness exists, you are an example to the rest of us. Chris Australia
Sad to see the beautiful detail of that front porch. I can imagine the inside is probably full of beautiful woodwork. Another couple of empty houses waiting to be flipped. I am always amazed at what you uncover. That is sooo much work!
Yes! Help this neighbor regain its dignity! Those houses are beautiful even if they are in disrepair! I just started watching your channel today and i absolutely love what you do! You and your wife are such kind souls. Keep up the good work!
I cant get over the size of that yard! What I could do with that much land is beyond imagination. A big garden for sure. The house is really cute also but it may be to far gone to save but I sure wish someone would. Great job once again on another lost home
Oh my gosh what a mess those sidewalks and street curbs were. I'm saying you don't need a gym membership after what you do every week with a shovel.. Great job on the lawn. You bless so many cleaning up lawns and making them look good for the community.
This is a beautiful old house, even in disrepair. You’ve given it dignity and brought it up to its former glory. Thank you Spenser. Keep up the good work.
I'd love to know the story behind all these abandoned old houses, when they were built, etc. This would have been a lovely home in its day. I love how you include lots of photos from different angles. Great work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Once beautiful cottage. And large beautiful yard so sad it got abandoned and unloved today. Thank goodness you came and rescued the yard. I hope someone comes and rescues the rest of the property in the home and brings it back to its former glory cause it sure is a beautiful beautiful home.
It's always sad to see such neat houses going to rack and ruin. Astounding how even clearing the curbing makes a huge difference. That would have made some good pasture land for a few animals. It would be great if you could make the neighboring house look as good.
Hey, nice job. I've been a horticulturist for almost 50 years and I know how much work that is. Cudos for your time and effort. Believe me it doesn't go unnoticed.
I think, for some of us, this is an over whelming task, ‘where to start’, ‘where’s the edge of the walk?’ ‘Weed eat?’ Edger?” And i see you blow dry that first walk, and I’m already sucked in. You do amazing work. I sense it heals a part of you because you’re passionate about what you do, you help the community and you make an eyesore turn into sparkles. On video, it’s a whole 52 minutes… but in reality it’s 6-8 hours of back breaking, weed shoveling, blow drying, hedge trimming, lawn mowing work!! It’s quite pleasing to the eyes, the transformation that you do, kudos thanks so much!
I was always taught to work smarter, not harder! But when you’re done, it looks absolutely fantastic here. I am sitting watching a guy on TH-cam mowing never thought in 1 million years I’d ever be watching something like this on TV. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Oh wow those edges were very overgrown good thing you like those types of jobs and you really do make them look better once they are cleaned up and tidy again. Keep up the awesome work Spencer and have a great weekend with Mrs. SB.
I can see a wishbone side walk and two front entrances on that wrap porch. Some sort of stain glass window should highlight that central window. Also, I'd put two small parking lots camouflaged with evergreen shrubs to the side limits of the property. Naturally that place will always have visitors. The driveway on the left will lead to a multi vehicle garage in the back. May need to build a guest/servant quarters in the back yard in the style of the house: simple late Victorian. And from experience, if the house were lifted 1 1/2 feet it would present so much better. Think of yellow daffodils inside that wishbone side walk and continue with all the next blooming bulbs of the spring, summer and fall. My imagination could go on and on. By the way the house next door seems interesting!
What a charming little Victorian, with its sweet single-story and delicate gingerbread trim on the front porch. You can almost feel the warmth and love that once filled this home. It was so cherished, a true gem in its time. Here’s hoping it can find that spark of love again and be restored to its former beauty.
In my 40s I used to do this kind of work to make the street by my house look more appealing. Most of the home owners were pretty good about keeping their yards in order. A few houses were occupied by elderly folks, and they had become over-grown. Of course, now I'm an elderly person,....I'm 70 and crippled. I pay a middle aged couple, who do the yard work for me. During Corona Virus years, I had to let things go. I loved improving the yards near mine, when I was able bodied. I did it for free,....and I made my whole street look real pretty. Great job there fellow!
U r the hardest working man and I’m a UPS driver. Thx for caring and donating. Thx also for blowing the grass off the rd seen many motorcycle accidents caused by grass blown in rd. U r awesome!!!! God bless
Bruh, You are truly an inspiration for many of us - not only by showcasing the work that you do, but the love you put into it. Thank you so much and may the God we serve continue to bless you in ways that's beyond all our understanding.
Thanks for getting the side walks and street drainage cleared for the neighborhood. Also, for trimming the low branches and dragging the fallen limbs out of the way. I hope you will do the next door house next week. I know the neighbors are happy and inspired to keep up their lawns even better than normal.
I love when you expose the sidewalks and make the neighbourhoods accessible again. Thanks for making such high quality content. ETA: you should absolutely do the house next door.
I absolutely want to see this house next door Spencer! You’re a blessing to your community! I sure hope that they appreciate you as much as I do! God Bless You and your Family! ❤️🙏❤️💫
This house looks like it was the cutest little home for someone. It's such a shame that now it is falling down. Your cleanup looks great. Seeing the next door property would be great. I love how you are doing a service for your community and able to be compensated at the same time. Amazing business model.
Such a older home was once upon a grand and lovely. You helped make that evident. I would hope someone would once again take care and restore it. You did a fantastic job.
What a cute little house, can you imagine what it was like back in the day! So sad! You gave it a great facelift by just doing the lawn, edging & hauling off branches! Yes please do the yard next door! Thank you for all that you do for the communities!😊💜
Your channel is one of thr big reasons why me and my son started cutting grass. The joy and happiness that people have when your done the job, priceless. But at the same time spending time and showing my son how to cut and make money the right way with blood, sweat and heat is the best way to show you love them. Right now we are cutting with a lawnmower and a weed eater. Trying to save money for a used riding lawnmower for more time to get things done right.
I love the work you do taking neglected yards and making them look loved! I think you should do the yard next door, too. Don't leave the 2nd old house's yard hanging! Let them both get the spa treatment you provide!
This is a harvest. Need some cows and horses, over for breakfast, lunch and supper. I second everything that others are saying. You are amazing. Watching your videos are amazing and entertaining.
Wow. It's not until you zoom out with your drone that I can see just how large & sprawling some of these lawns are. That is certainly a lot of work to maintain these lots, & you always do a phenomenal job. Your attention to detail & work ethic is just out of this world. I so enjoy watching you perform work you obviously love to do. Thank you. My best regards to you & Mrs. SB.
SB king, go for it. Every good you do will multiply. I know the community you have already cleaned up must be grateful for your hard work and if not don't worry, we your followers know that good people get 7 × bless. Keep moving forward with what you lo🙏
Spencer, You always do such a great job on these neglected yards. You always leave the lots, streets and curbs clean. You are doing such a favor to these neighborhoods. God bless you for all you do. You are truly a remarkable young man.
Great job as always. I love how you edit the video and make it look like you go hide behind the tree with one tool in your hand and come right out with another tool; like a magician. Thank you for what you are doing for each community and everyone you touch.
You did a great job on this property! It's a sweet looking house in spite of condition. Might be too far gone, but the neighborhood looks nice and it has a nice large lot. Too bad some family doesn't snap it up now that you have the property looking so clean. I vote for you to do the adjoining property too!
Great job again Spencer! That grass was THICK! It sure makes a big difference to the neighborhood. I would love to see you do the next door neighbor’s house as well! Thank you for all your wonderful yard videos! 🙏🏻❤️
I know that lawn maintenance isn't everyone's first choice as a subject to a video. but to me i like to see the transformations that Spencer here does. you do a really good job and helping the neighbors by cleaning up their neighborhood one eyesore at a time. i am surprised you do not have 5 million subscribers by now. here is hoping it happens one day very soon. thank you Spencer. this lawn looks like it was a nightmare. but you got it done.
These videos are so satisfying to watch! I bet that guy sleeps well every night!!! Awesome work!! Maybe someone will now see the lovely old house and want to save it too!!
That house is gorgeous and such a work of art. The work in the wood and design is lovely. What a waste. Nice yard too. The potential is huge. I am always surprised when the gutters and footpaths are revealed. Looks great. So much work. The council should be ashamed of itself.
It might be too far gone for restoration. Also, maybe the property taxes are way high. It would have to be purchased by someone who is able to do the work themselves. Labor costs would be higher than what most of us could afford.
this is the kind of stuff "squatters" are useful for, not taking advantage of families of recently deceased parents whose children are struggling financially to maintain the house they inherited
Wow, you’re amazing for taking on this job! Seeing how overgrown it was, I can see why no one else wanted to touch it. But you tackled it, and the results are impressive. 👏
The way you pay respect to the neighborhoods you visit with your community service is incredible, you are a great human being, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!!! Keep up the good work, it will all come back to you positively.
Hi Spencer. You're awesome. I think you're the hardest working yard guy in America because you do it on your own. I also like watching George of Quick Cuts in Australia as he does the craziest yards on his own. You and George are amazing. Keep up the great work!!!!
I like George too, and the other Aussie Blade Mate. I just found another good one, Midlife Stockman who also does excellent work. I'm kind of addicted to these lawn-mowing channels. I like how some of them collaborate and support each other.
Spencer, thank you for cleaning this property for the neighborhood. Perfect filming. Even the drone has no camera dizzy. Neighbors - contact the owner, which could be in an estate. Also, contact the county or city. It’s the owner’s responsibility to keep it maintained. Please let this be the season of change.
I couldn't get over the size of this yard who would abandon a home with that much property! The walkways were SO much work! You should have used Al's big red monster 😅 Do you know the guy from the Boring Channel? Can you tell him to speed up his videos like you and Al do? It takes less timely and patience. Great job on this beautiful property, hopefully someone will buy this property and start taking care of it.
Such a pretty little house and a huge yard. Thanks to your hard work not only will the neighbors appreciate the eyesore of overgrowth being gone, but someone can now see the house, fall in love with it, and want to fix it.
Back in the good old days. Neighbors helped each other out in times of need. They done each other's yards and clean each other's houses for them. They took care of their cars and trucks and washed them up and made sure they were cleaned as well. When they have a neighbor that unwell and sick and couldn't do anything until they got better and back on their feet again. Then that neighbor that was unwell and sick did the same in return and helped the ones in need on their streets that they live on. We don't have that anymore these days we don't respect or want to help out people anymore much less our own neighbors. UGH!
yeah, what's the point of having a huge yard like this?? It just creates a lot of work. I have better things to do on my time off than to weed and mow and irrigate.
It is just divine. How could it not be salvedged? What a huge block! I live in Australia and I can't imagine a house like this would be left abandoned.
Man that curb, steps and side walk were so deeply hidden, and backyard was such hugely overgrown and as always amazing and awesome work Spencer brother and God bless you and your family. Please do the house next door as ur next fridays video
I would love to see you do the house next door Spencer. You always do amazing work! Love the edging and shovel work you do on every yard. Thank you Spencer for having an amazing heart and seeing the potential in every yard you makeover!
What an absolutely beautiful lil lady this old home is. What fun it would be to restore her to her glory days! Thank you Spencer for tidying her up. Pristine work as always. 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🦅
Spencer, your work is truly commendable! The meticulous edging and mowing have significantly enhanced both the property and the entire neighborhood. It’s a delightful thought to imagine the house restored to its former splendor. Could it possibly be a historical home? It’s truly disheartening to see such potential beauty in a state of neglect. I wholeheartedly support the idea of extending your wonderful work to the adjacent property. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Yes please transform the abandon home’s yard for next week. Beautiful property and by the looks of the house it was once very beautiful too. Thank you Spencer…you are amazing.
What a transformation. Beautiful. A little paint, a bit of renovation. Then a family could live there happily. . Great work . Can see the potential now.
These curbs have to be the thickest I've ever seen you tackle...oh my giddy aunt - flipping tough. You could graze 5 cows for a solid 2 weeks on the lawn, no doubt. I'm sure the neighborhood was literally shocked to see the final stage. Nice park for kids to play in. Spencer, this was amazing... well done🎉
Me too! I think of how many families that must have lived in that house. I pray that someone can restore it too, and not let a wrecking ball destroy it. 😢
The landscaping of the property really brought out the architecture of the house. The front porch looked unique and beautiful. Its bittersweet that the yard looks great now, but unfortunate the house was not maintained.
I watch you clean up the yards on these derelict houses and can’t help but think of the family that built and lived in them so many years ago. Imagine lemonade socials on a summer day. What stories these old neighbors could tell. 😊
Such a pretty little single-story Victorian. That gingerbread trim on the front porch says this was once a beautiful, LOVED home. Hopefully it can be again.
I was thinking the same thing! ❤🇨🇦
and the fence on the porch was quite unique too. Such a shame to see it fall to ruin.

Neighborhood should acquire it and turn it into a neighborhood hangout, with an open library and community garden.
I was thinking the exact same thing too and just lost in thought about what I could with that property!!!
I'm pretty sure that was a big garden. Looks like nice straight rows and small furrows.
I grew up on a good sized farm, it looked very familiar to me.
Hope it can be beautiful again

@@stoveboltlvr3798 yeah, that's a beautiful porch. Such a shame to see it in such a rundown condition.
I love watching you clean those abandoned houses. The yards look so great when you're done. You're a kind soul to do this work for the neighborhood.😸
I love watching the other landscapers, but, you, Spencer, are my favorite to watch. You are as thorough as possible and I love watching you make the sidewalks and curbs appear. It hard work, but you do great work! Thank you for your videos and your sacrifice of work.
Same here!
AGREED!!
💯
😢Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me!
I think he's one of my favorite also, but they all have big hearts to do this work for community's. Bless their hearts. I was just told I have cancer, I love doing yard work, and hope I will continue for a long time.
Damn!. There was sidewalk EVERYWHERE!. 😳. This has got to be so satisfying for you
Someone please restore this cottage. It oozes charm and the trees are beautiful.
Are t there TWO similar cottage houses next to each other on that property? They almost look like twin homes.

Yes, I’d love to see the neighboring yard cleaned up. Love this
Maybe it's haunted 😅
It will probably be torn down.
We're is this located?
Absolutely fabulous job…brightening the whole area up and yet no one offers him a drink of any sort.
What’s happening are all the manners and courtesy ways gone now.
Well done man !!
people might be at work? some videos he's offered snacks or a drink.....
@@deborahpaley21 study the video, there are people talking to him… if anyone in my area was making a difference, I’d be first there with hospitality.
I wasn’t talking about any other videos…
It always breaks my heart to see these beautiful older homes abandoned. Thank you for your dedication.
Especially with all the homeless people across this country.
Amen!
@@324cmac I was thinking the same thing
And especially with all the modern cookie cutter over priced homes out there.
Great job with the best results... Advocate Iqbal Afinwala Indian lawyer.i also want to serve honorary...I m at Ottawa since April...
Please do the second home of the two abandoned homes side by side. You do awesome work! I love to see the cleaning you do. I ‘m bed ridden now but felt the same way about laundry and such. Just a good feeling of something dirty being so clean. God Bless you always!
This place is crazy overgrown. It’s a good thing you’re not afraid of work. If I was one of the neighbors there I’d take up a collection and pay you to keep it mowed. Bless you young man. Can you imagine what a beautiful place this was in the past. It would cost a fortune to build one that detailed nowadays. ❤
Your talent, your generosity, and your kindness are truly inspiring.
In a world where so much selfishness exists, you are an example to the rest of us.

Sad to see the beautiful detail of that front porch. I can imagine the inside is probably full of beautiful woodwork. Another couple of empty houses waiting to be flipped. I am always amazed at what you uncover. That is sooo much work!
I was definitely tired after this job! Thank you so much for watching!
Changing neighborhoods one property at a time.
Thank you for all that you do and God bless!
Thank you so much for the support!
@@SBMowing You're Welcome So Very Much There My Good Little Bro Spencer Of SB Mowing & SB Pressure Washing
Thank You So Very Much There My Good New Friend Beth
God bless you for the amazing work that you do for humanity
@@SBMowing hi
Sad that these have been abandoned for so long. They were cute houses once upon a time. Great job!
Thank you so much! I totally agree about the houses
and yet, we are supposed to be having a housing crisis. what gives??
Yes! Help this neighbor regain its dignity! Those houses are beautiful even if they are in disrepair! I just started watching your channel today and i absolutely love what you do! You and your wife are such kind souls. Keep up the good work!
I cant get over the size of that yard! What I could do with that much land is beyond imagination. A big garden for sure. The house is really cute also but it may be to far gone to save but I sure wish someone would. Great job once again on another lost home
You could build another house in that garden, it's enormous!!
I love this house but sad to see its deteriorating state. Wish could go back in time to its origin. Spacious yards were probably the normal back then.
I couldn't believe how big the back yard was!
Beautiful yard and a job well done once again Sir!!!
What a beautiful property in its day! At least you restored the yard to its former glory! Great job Spencer!
Thank you so much!
Do you have the address for the home? Looks like 425 but not sure about the street
Oh my gosh what a mess those sidewalks and street curbs were. I'm saying you don't need a gym membership after what you do every week with a shovel..
Great job on the lawn.
You bless so many cleaning up lawns and making them look good for the community.
I was pretty sore after this job! Thanks for the support!
You are doing such a public service. It will brighten and uplift that neighborhood. We Americans need to work together to make things better.
This is a beautiful old house, even in disrepair. You’ve given it dignity and brought it up to its former glory. Thank you Spenser. Keep up the good work.
I'd love to know the story behind all these abandoned old houses, when they were built, etc. This would have been a lovely home in its day. I love how you include lots of photos from different angles. Great work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
a HOA was introdused rofl
What an interesting house. It’s a shame it has been left to fall apart. Great job cleaning up the neighborhood.
Once beautiful cottage. And large beautiful yard so sad it got abandoned and unloved today. Thank goodness you came and rescued the yard. I hope someone comes and rescues the rest of the property in the home and brings it back to its former glory cause it sure is a beautiful beautiful home.
It's always sad to see such neat houses going to rack and ruin. Astounding how even clearing the curbing makes a huge difference. That would have made some good pasture land for a few animals. It would be great if you could make the neighboring house look as good.
Hey, nice job. I've been a horticulturist for almost 50 years and I know how much work that is. Cudos for your time and effort. Believe me it doesn't go unnoticed.
I think, for some of us, this is an over whelming task, ‘where to start’, ‘where’s the edge of the walk?’ ‘Weed eat?’ Edger?” And i see you blow dry that first walk, and I’m already sucked in. You do amazing work. I sense it heals a part of you because you’re passionate about what you do, you help the community and you make an eyesore turn into sparkles. On video, it’s a whole 52 minutes… but in reality it’s 6-8 hours of back breaking, weed shoveling, blow drying, hedge trimming, lawn mowing work!! It’s quite pleasing to the eyes, the transformation that you do, kudos thanks so much!
I agree. And btw it's called leaf blowing, not blow drying. Just saying.😊
Blow dry? 😒
Well said.
😊
Start from the outside, work your way in.
I was always taught to work smarter, not harder! But when you’re done, it looks absolutely fantastic here. I am sitting watching a guy on TH-cam mowing never thought in 1 million years I’d ever be watching something like this on TV. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I don't comment often, but DANG. Those sidewalks were insane, and that back yard was a meadow! You DEFINITELY should do the next door house!
Oh wow those edges were very overgrown good thing you like those types of jobs and you really do make them look better once they are cleaned up and tidy again. Keep up the awesome work Spencer and have a great weekend with Mrs. SB.
Thank you so much!
I would LOVE this property. I'm sure it needs ALOT of work, but the design and layout, with the trees is SO CHARMING to me🥰
Yes, with restoration and new fresh landscaping and a new paint job: A Show place.
I can see a wishbone side walk and two front entrances on that wrap porch. Some sort of stain glass window should highlight that central window. Also, I'd put two small parking lots camouflaged with evergreen shrubs to the side limits of the property. Naturally that place will always have visitors.
The driveway on the left will lead to a multi vehicle garage in the back. May need to build a guest/servant quarters in the back yard in the style of the house: simple late Victorian. And from experience, if the house were lifted 1 1/2 feet it would present so much better.
Think of yellow daffodils inside that wishbone side walk and continue with all the next blooming bulbs of the spring, summer and fall.
My imagination could go on and on.
By the way the house next door seems interesting!
What a charming little Victorian, with its sweet single-story and delicate gingerbread trim on the front porch. You can almost feel the warmth and love that once filled this home. It was so cherished, a true gem in its time. Here’s hoping it can find that spark of love again and be restored to its former beauty.
Satisfying end results, back breaking work though! I can’t stand a messy yard, this guy kills it.
In my 40s I used to do this kind of work to make the street by my house look more appealing. Most of the home owners were pretty good about keeping their yards in order. A few houses were occupied by elderly folks, and they had become over-grown. Of course, now I'm an elderly person,....I'm 70 and crippled. I pay a middle aged couple, who do the yard work for me. During Corona Virus years, I had to let things go. I loved improving the yards near mine, when I was able bodied. I did it for free,....and I made my whole street look real pretty. Great job there fellow!
God bless you!
Much Respect Sir and Blessings to you. ❤😊
@@cowboykelly6590 Thanks.
SB should stand for Stand Back this dude is on a mission.
👏😂👍
U r the hardest working man and I’m a UPS driver. Thx for caring and donating. Thx also for blowing the grass off the rd seen many motorcycle accidents caused by grass blown in rd. U r awesome!!!! God bless
Bruh,
You are truly an inspiration for many of us - not only by showcasing the work that you do, but the love you put into it.
Thank you so much and may the God we serve continue to bless you in ways that's beyond all our understanding.
Spencer, I would love to know where this unpainted lady is?
I guess I should elaborate. Victorian house were named painted ladies for the many elaborate colors of paint they were given.
Thanks for getting the side walks and street drainage cleared for the neighborhood. Also, for trimming the low branches and dragging the fallen limbs out of the way. I hope you will do the next door house next week. I know the neighbors are happy and inspired to keep up their lawns even better than normal.
Nice job, Spencer. Neighbor yard, your choice. ♥️👍
I love when you expose the sidewalks and make the neighbourhoods accessible again. Thanks for making such high quality content.
ETA: you should absolutely do the house next door.
There was that point early in the video, about 5:25 when I sat forward and said out loud in wonder, "There's a curb in there!"
That one sidewalk looks like a death trap
I absolutely want to see this house next door Spencer! You’re a blessing to your community! I sure hope that they appreciate you as much as I do! God Bless You and your Family! ❤️🙏❤️💫
This house looks like it was the cutest little home for someone. It's such a shame that now it is falling down. Your cleanup looks great. Seeing the next door property would be great. I love how you are doing a service for your community and able to be compensated at the same time. Amazing business model.
Such a older home was once upon a grand and lovely. You helped make that evident. I would hope someone would once again take care and restore it. You did a fantastic job.
What a cute little house, can you imagine what it was like back in the day! So sad! You gave it a great facelift by just doing the lawn, edging & hauling off branches! Yes please do the yard next door! Thank you for all that you do for the communities!😊💜
Your channel is one of thr big reasons why me and my son started cutting grass. The joy and happiness that people have when your done the job, priceless. But at the same time spending time and showing my son how to cut and make money the right way with blood, sweat and heat is the best way to show you love them. Right now we are cutting with a lawnmower and a weed eater. Trying to save money for a used riding lawnmower for more time to get things done right.
Yes, please do the yard next door next week as well. I'll watch, like and comment.
Woo hoo it’s SB Mowing Friday 🎉
Every Friday! 💪🏼
I love the work you do taking neglected yards and making them look loved! I think you should do the yard next door, too. Don't leave the 2nd old house's yard hanging! Let them both get the spa treatment you provide!
This is a harvest. Need some cows and horses, over for breakfast, lunch and supper.
I second everything that others are saying. You are amazing. Watching your videos are amazing and entertaining.
Wow.
It's not until you zoom out with your drone that I can see just how large & sprawling some of these lawns are. That is certainly a lot of work to maintain these lots, & you always do a phenomenal job. Your attention to detail & work ethic is just out of this world. I so enjoy watching you perform work you obviously love to do. Thank you. My best regards to you & Mrs. SB.
SB king, go for it. Every good you do will multiply. I know the community you have already cleaned up must be grateful for your hard work and if not don't worry, we your followers know that good people get 7 × bless. Keep moving forward with what you lo🙏
Great job all you do.
Spencer,
You always do such a great job on these neglected yards. You always leave the lots, streets and curbs clean. You are doing such a favor to these neighborhoods. God bless you for all you do. You are truly a remarkable young man.
Thank you so much, your support really means a lot to me!
You brought out the beauty of the forgotten yard and house! 🥰 I approve of doing the other yard. Remarkable!
Great job Spencer.... you are inspirational to so many people! Thanks for saving this house from drowning in overgrowth.🌿👍
Great job as always. I love how you edit the video and make it look like you go hide behind the tree with one tool in your hand and come right out with another tool; like a magician. Thank you for what you are doing for each community and everyone you touch.
You did a great job on this property! It's a sweet looking house in spite of condition. Might be too far gone, but the neighborhood looks nice and it has a nice large lot. Too bad some family doesn't snap it up now that you have the property looking so clean. I vote for you to do the adjoining property too!
You work so hard. Good job!
Thank you so much!!
Great job again Spencer! That grass was THICK! It sure makes a big difference to the neighborhood. I would love to see you do the next door neighbor’s house as well! Thank you for all your wonderful yard videos! 🙏🏻❤️
I know that lawn maintenance isn't everyone's first choice as a subject to a video. but to me i like to see the transformations that Spencer here does. you do a really good job and helping the neighbors by cleaning up their neighborhood one eyesore at a time. i am surprised you do not have 5 million subscribers by now. here is hoping it happens one day very soon. thank you Spencer. this lawn looks like it was a nightmare. but you got it done.
dude you actually helping raise the value of those properties/houses, you should be rewarded for that. for real.
Мне кажется, его работа повышает стоимость недвижимости всего района 👍😉
These videos are so satisfying to watch! I bet that guy sleeps well every night!!! Awesome work!! Maybe someone will now see the lovely old house and want to save it too!!
That house is gorgeous and such a work of art. The work in the wood and design is lovely. What a waste. Nice yard too. The potential is huge. I am always surprised when the gutters and footpaths are revealed. Looks great. So much work. The council should be ashamed of itself.
Hello anna
You’ve got a lot of expensive equipment to do a superb job.
It's so sad no one loves this beautiful old gem. Thank you for cleaning up the yard.
It might be too far gone for restoration. Also, maybe the property taxes are way high. It would have to be purchased by someone who is able to do the work themselves. Labor costs would be higher than what most of us could afford.
So many abandoned houses. It’s almost criminal how many there are! Kudos to You for caring!! Amazing work ethic.
En so many people homeless....
this is the kind of stuff "squatters" are useful for, not taking advantage of families of recently deceased parents whose children are struggling financially to maintain the house they inherited
I would love to see you do that lawn! I want to see that mannequin!!
Wow, you’re amazing for taking on this job! Seeing how overgrown it was, I can see why no one else wanted to touch it. But you tackled it, and the results are impressive. 👏
The way you pay respect to the neighborhoods you visit with your community service is incredible, you are a great human being, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!!! Keep up the good work, it will all come back to you positively.
Hi Spencer. You're awesome. I think you're the hardest working yard guy in America because you do it on your own. I also like watching George of Quick Cuts in Australia as he does the craziest yards on his own. You and George are amazing. Keep up the great work!!!!
I like George too, and the other Aussie Blade Mate. I just found another good one, Midlife Stockman who also does excellent work. I'm kind of addicted to these lawn-mowing channels. I like how some of them collaborate and support each other.
Spencer, thank you for cleaning this property for the neighborhood. Perfect filming. Even the drone has no camera dizzy. Neighbors - contact the owner, which could be in an estate. Also, contact the county or city. It’s the owner’s responsibility to keep it maintained. Please let this be the season of change.
I couldn't get over the size of this yard who would abandon a home with that much property! The walkways were SO much work! You should have used Al's big red monster 😅 Do you know the guy from the Boring Channel? Can you tell him to speed up his videos like you and Al do? It takes less timely and patience. Great job on this beautiful property, hopefully someone will buy this property and start taking care of it.
That house could be adorable!!!! I'd love to have it!
Good job, you put a lot of hard work into it....thank you!!!!😊
You’re always awesome and I thank you for helping those who can’t get help. You’re awesome!!! I could watch you forever.!!!
I bought my bad boy lawn mower last year and it to weeds and brush that stood over 16 feet tall down in two passes , It is a bad boy indeed
I hope someone restores this house.
Also .. yes to do the one next door.
Interested to see the crazy mannequin in the back yard!
Such a pretty little house and a huge yard.
Thanks to your hard work not only will the neighbors appreciate the eyesore of overgrowth being gone, but someone can now see the house, fall in love with it, and want to fix it.
I do hope so. She'd lovely. Imagine the stories she could tell.
Back in the good old days. Neighbors helped each other out in times of need. They done each other's yards and clean each other's houses for them. They took care of their cars and trucks and washed them up and made sure they were cleaned as well. When they have a neighbor that unwell and sick and couldn't do anything until they got better and back on their feet again. Then that neighbor that was unwell and sick did the same in return and helped the ones in need on their streets that they live on. We don't have that anymore these days we don't respect or want to help out people anymore much less our own neighbors. UGH!
True, true!
But we can bring it back, one person, or one helping event at a time.
yeah, what's the point of having a huge yard like this?? It just creates a lot of work. I have better things to do on my time off than to weed and mow and irrigate.
That's an adorable house. Like other posts, I would have loved to see it in its prime. Thank you Spencer for making her shine a little brighter.
Hello Rhonda
It is just divine. How could it not be salvedged? What a huge block! I live in Australia and I can't imagine a house like this would be left abandoned.
Man that curb, steps and side walk were so deeply hidden, and backyard was such hugely overgrown and as always amazing and awesome work Spencer brother and God bless you and your family. Please do the house next door as ur next fridays video
I would love to see you do the house next door Spencer. You always do amazing work! Love the edging and shovel work you do on every yard. Thank you Spencer for having an amazing heart and seeing the potential in every yard you makeover!
What an absolutely beautiful lil lady this old home is. What fun it would be to restore her to her glory days! Thank you Spencer for tidying her up. Pristine work as always.
🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🦅
Spencer, your work is truly commendable! The meticulous edging and mowing have significantly enhanced both the property and the entire neighborhood. It’s a delightful thought to imagine the house restored to its former splendor. Could it possibly be a historical home? It’s truly disheartening to see such potential beauty in a state of neglect. I wholeheartedly support the idea of extending your wonderful work to the adjacent property. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Yes please transform the abandon home’s yard for next week. Beautiful property and by the looks of the house it was once very beautiful too. Thank you Spencer…you are amazing.
What a transformation. Beautiful. A little paint, a bit of renovation. Then a family could live there happily. . Great work . Can see the potential now.
Yes do the neighbor yard what a beautiful little house today🌞
What memories once lived and whisper of children playing on the lawn. Thank you Spencer, for the beautiful renewal. I wish you came to Nebraska!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
These curbs have to be the thickest I've ever seen you tackle...oh my giddy aunt - flipping tough. You could graze 5 cows for a solid 2 weeks on the lawn, no doubt. I'm sure the neighborhood was literally shocked to see the final stage. Nice park for kids to play in. Spencer, this was amazing... well done🎉
😂
The drone shots are a fantastic addition!! Would love to see this house restored.
Me too! I think of how many families that must have lived in that house. I pray that someone can restore it too, and not let a wrecking ball destroy it. 😢
I was thinking about the same thing!
The landscaping of the property really brought out the architecture of the house. The front porch looked unique and beautiful. Its bittersweet that the yard looks great now, but unfortunate the house was not maintained.
Wow Spencer that’s a huge undertaking!!!!! Good on you 👏👏👏👏👏 Excellent transformation 👍🥰
I watch you clean up the yards on these derelict houses and can’t help but think of the family that built and lived in them so many years ago. Imagine lemonade socials on a summer day. What stories these old neighbors could tell. 😊
Things are really green and growing fast this time of year! Love Fridays and new videos from SB Mowing.
Man you are incredible!!! You will certainly be blessed for all your hard work….Wishing you huge blessings
