    I'm an Iraq vet and I can totally relate. I'm basically a shut-in at this point, terrified to leave my house. My lawn is out of control because it's impossible to care about such trivial things when I can't find a reason to get dressed in the morning. The fact that he answered the door through his window was hilarious to me. He is still holding down the fort in his mind. That's basically his guard tower. I hope he's at least getting help from the VA. I recently qualified through the PACT Act and it basically saved my life.

    I have to tell you how much I appreciate all you do. I enjoy watching your work so much because you do so much to truly transform a home and property. So many that I have watched for years seems to do so much less than you do. It has really given a new perspective on these yard transformations. You have raised the bar for them all for sure.

They just raised 70k euros to completely redo the couples' conservatory into a master suite so the couple can be together more and the wife can access their (newly rebuilt) deck. Its amazing to watch.

    I lost my father at age ten. He was killed in a trucking accident and was crushed. At the funeral, everyone told me this. One aunt actually told me that he was stuffed. I was horrified and completely shut down and never grieved. My parents were divorced so my mother wasn’t allowed to attend the funeral with me. She had to wait outside in the car. I became super shy after the funeral and my mother never spoke of him after that. Seven years later when my grandmother died, I had a total breakdown and cried for a month. I was crying for my father and not really for my grandmother. No one in my family offered support or help. So I finally started therapy in my thirties after my mother died of breast cancer. Therapy was extremely difficult but my therapist was my guardian angel and helped me understand grief and myself. God bless you for sharing your story.

      I believe Sean will eventuall get to doing this - a chap in the UK started by pressure washing drives for the elderly to keep them safe - then started pruning back bushes and generall overgrown - in just a year, he has helped several with complete makeovers - a lady with a tree that had landed on her roof - a whole load of local trades came together to help him sort her yard and house, & subscribers donated ££££; another older gentleman with a hole through the kitchen ceiling, and hte back of the house in dire need of a rebuild, but with heart failure and a bedridden wife - that's a work in progress- another 96year old lady with brambles growing into the house through the rotten window frames -
      Ben was finding people in such dire need, he said he couldnt just walk away; now his Dad, his uncle, and countless local trades are adding in their support and making a world of difference, backed by a huge subscriber base - I can see Sean going that route, especially as he ventures into the poorer neighbourhoods

He thought he was helping because after a lung resection and major nerve damage on my left side I was told to take it easy....yeah right. I went out eventually and got an electric mower, wheeled edger/trimmer, and the mini chainsaw. I can do most of what I want to do in pieces parts... a little at a time. but I absolutely love that little six inch chainsaw!
