People of Detroit, contact your City Councillor's let's get Sean awarded the Keys of the City of Detroit for outstanding work in the community. You can do this!
Great idea and I don't live in Detroit. Generous subscribers, you are part of this work. I have not seen the magnitude of support for any TH-cam channel. God supplies the need not only in supplies but places to work on. I still love the idea to clean up properties for moms and children. Sean, your neighborhood has so many needs. And look at how much your channel has grown! Your interaction with your viewers is priceless. You bring us all in to what you are doing. Simply irresistible!!
Actually, I was going to suggest that some of us subscribers take the initiative to write to the city of Detroit praising the work Sean is doing and the fact that he is just such a nice guy. And they should feel proud to have such an honorable and caring citizen. BUT, now someone says it’s not Detroit, but Pontiac, MI so now I don’t know where to write.
@garrywolfe4056 I wonder if that would fall within the vicinity as Sean works through various area's? It sounds like you would have more of an idea than me, I'm from across the pond in jolly olde England 🏴 🇬🇧 🤣
Here's a story for you, which I heard over 40 years ago: This a story about 4 people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it ,but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. Thank you, Sean, for doing what Nobody did!
The Little Red Hen wanted to go fishing but had no boat. "Who will help me?" she asked. "Not I" said the duck. "Not I" said the fox. "Not I" said the pig. So the Little Red Hen worked and worked and worked to build her boat, and she finally finished. She took the boat to the shore, pushed it, and hopped in, ready to go fishing after all that hard work! "You're so selfish" said the duck. "Why didn't you ask me to go with you?" "You're a bad neighbor" said the fox. "I would be glad to fish with you, but you didn't ask me." "You are such a bad person" said the pig. "I think you should have taken at least one of us out fishing with you." It's universal: nobody wants to do nuffin'.
I guess Midlife deserved to have some sponsors, I watch a lot of them on TH-cam but Midlife does a good job, very particular in doing his job, hard working guy. He does perfection. Watching from Calgary AB Canada
Northern Tool, Stihl (?), Home Depot...these are few that could help out and get involved with Midlife. He and his family are a true blessing to this community along the surrounding area.
Getting second-hand anger on behalf of this community that the city couldn't take care of their streets. Instead let it become an unsafe space where rubbish and glass bottles (or worse) are strewn about. If you can do this is one day, imagine what a crew of city workers could've done ages ago... smh You are a trooper, glad the community appreciates you!
Just wondering, what about this community? it's their back yard, why aren't they doing anything? I watched a few videos in this awesome channel and never once did I see anyone stopping by and offering some help, maybe once someone offered a glass of water. Update: I just saw in this video a few people offering some water and food, but someone could for example help with picking up these bottles, or anything else to assist. I hope some people do offer help and Shawn simply prefers to do these things on his own.
i feel the same way, town/city want to put these sidewalks in but don't bother taking care of them, i know my town and the town beside me both take care the sidewalks so people can use them and don't have to worry about anything
@@FugaziSB Hopefully now the neighborhood can easily maintain it and organize a monthly trash pickup if the party kids keep throwning out their vodka bottles 😁
@@suebaxter301 In my City the maintenance of the sidewalks is the Homeowner/ Lot Owner's responsibility. Our City Fines and Cites Owners and then if the City performs the work the City liens the property. This City must not have a robust Code Enforcement Division.
Somebody please bring Sean some food or drinks! This man works his ass off because he’s passionate about helping and making communities look nice and presentable. The only thing this man really cares for is just a simple thank you and we appreciate you. That’s it! That’s what drives this man! Not money, not fame, but someone to appreciate it. Thank you Sean for all the hard work you do. ❤🙏
I agree! Water was offered a couple of times, and the sweet woman who kept hugging him offered to buy him lunch. The community will look after him because they truly appreciate him. The city, on the other hand...
What sets him apart is that he goes above and beyond on these projects. Seems like he actually cares about helping people and not just doing good deeds for the clicks and likes ❤️
Presentation: he stops and talks a lot, has not-rap music, and generally crafts his presentations in a way others do not (and the others are great guys too).
You've become our favorite Lawn Restoration Channel. My hubby and I watch your videos together and agree your hard work is exceptional and thorough. We appreciate how you go above and beyond and pay attention to details. Your changing lives one lawn, one project at a time. Well Done! Big hugs to you from our family in Oregon!
Everybody coming up to thank him for his work is how normal neighbors should act, not like other videos where some Karen calls the cops because “he’s in my neighborhood “.
Love your transformations, but I think the best part is the community love. I’m sure these communities feel a bit forgotten by their officials, and having just one person think they are worthy of a little help feels amazing. Hearing that woman be thankful that you cared enough to want their kids to have a sidewalk to walk to school on warmed my heart. 💜
I love that you talk to the camera while working, its more entertaining and personal. You do an amazing job, I love the wholesome content you put out there!!
Someone should reward this self-sacrificing gentleman for making a neighborhood safer for the residents, especially the children. They should organize a neighborhood watch committee to keep it looking as great as Sean left it.
One thing that definitely makes a huge difference in your videos MS, is the very fact that so many pundits say how AWFUL race relations are in this country. You prove them wrong. I see great gratitude from all people for what you are doing, and it does not matter what race they are. THAT is more than commendable, it is a blessing. Keep it up man, you are a credit to the word blessings!
Seriously, and it's Detroit, where everybody is everybody, black, white, asian, hispanic, whatever ethnicity, all living in the City trying to make it work.
If you want to do something…take the initiative to find out who is responsible for these highways and byways and then urge them to do the job so Sean doesn’t have to. It’s a big city with good people who are willing to help.😅
I love how friendly and appreciative the neighbors are in that area. So many people see what you are doing and then go outside to meet you and to personally thank you.
I’m hoping by Sean doing this type of thing it sparks a sense of community within the neighborhood and they at the very least keep it up. I mean, how it was is daunting…I get that. Upkeep takes a lot less effort.
@@kathymurphy7026 That's what I mentioned to Sean several videos back. They all come out to say thanks but never offer to help. Okay ice water and snacks are offered on occasion but no one ever helps cut, trim, edge, blow, nor mow. This one lady a few videos back said 'I'm gonna go home and change clothes and come back to help you" but she never did. Not that we could see. Or he didn't record it.
@@TimberWolfeVids Yes. If the community created a neighborhood pride group, each member could do a bit to maintain the area and everyone would benefit. That way no single person would have the burden of maintaining the common use areas.
Get this man a mulcher, people! A nice strong one to help him do this work to make everything look so nice! He deserves it!❤️ I am saying this from Alaska! You are such a blessed community to have this man there!
The power company in our town clears power lines in their own without even having to be called. The fact that the line has so much on it is mind-boggling to me.
Sean, you always do a great job…with a smile on your face! It’s amazing how many people stop to thank you for caring. Pretty soon you are going to have to bring a table so that you will have a place to meet and greet and sign your autograph! But seriously, you are a blessing and I pray God will be with you always. Love, love, love your videos.
You go above and beyond, like cleaning the sewer drain in the road so properties aren’t flooded/damaged when the rains come!! A real community hero!! Congratulations!!
I don't think people realize how much effort it takes to work over your head with your arms. You have some great stamina and strength to do this work. Thank you for being a good steward of this Earth God put us on💪🙏
The work you do for your community deserves an award! Everything you do is so thorough, meticulous and the results are spectacular. Now people have a safe place to walk and the road has drainage! The only ones who are gonna be ticked off are the idjits who've been using it as a bar/bottle dump! Great work as always.
The bottles are ridiculous! In my neighborhood, there's a little walkway that connects two housing developments. I cleaned up the litter in there and found 50lbs of glass bottles, mostly vodka bottles in the bushes! I think that guy was right. People who don't want to be caught drinking stash the bottles in bushes rather than throwing them out or recycling them at home. It's a sad indicator that there are people in the area with an alcohol problem.
When I was growing up, they actually had commercials about litter. Maybe they need to bring those back or teach kids how to not litter in the first grade. Nobody should be throwing things out their window or on a sidewalk. They can wait till they get home to toss it in the cart
I kind of hope that all who wanted to offer thanks, water etc might perhaps meet up with each other, now they see the video, and make a rota to keep the bottles picked up, at least. As others have said, a sad telltale thatmost of them seem to be the same small bottles of vodka - some local shop must be making a killing, surely? Perhaps having a nicer neighbourhood feel will encourage everyine to make some changes
2 things that ticks me off. 1. the town/city are responsible for these sidewalks and 2. i hate litterbugs, like wow really people. i feel that the town/city you live in/clean up should do some type of donations fund to help you out. i love watching you all the time. i am just glad people like you want to do this tedious job. God Bless You
In California it is up to the owner of the lot to maintain the land, the sidewalk, and the nature strip (strip of grass between the sidewalk and curb). The power company can even impose a fine for letting your vegetation grow into the power lines. I don't know what the rules are in Michigan.
I love your channel. I've been watching lawn care transformations for a couple years but now when I watch them I find myself holding them up to the Midlife Stockman standard. You do such beautiful work. You take care of everything, it's satisfying to watch. I've got my 90 year old Mom loving it too :) stay safe and keep doing all wonderful things you do! You're a blessing to your community.
I have been watching your channel and out of all transformation the others do... Your's is the best. You take so much pride in what you do for your community. I cannot wait to see next weeks transformation. God bless and take care. 🙏🙏😊😊
Sean, you outworked and outdone yourself on this sidewalk. Those slowmo bits are pure perfection. You weren't wrong about those vines, and the outpouring of love and gratitude from the community is heartwarming to see. Hopefully, those glas bottles will find their way into the recycling system. Gen 💜🇿🇦
It's nice to see you have an extended family in that neighborhood. I think people in England are telling Jack that he looks like Midlife Stockman. Keep up the good work and quoting Devo, "Whip it, whip it good"
I wish that our society awarded medals for outstanding performances in their particular field of service because if we did you would have gotten 2 gold medals for these last 2 overgrown areas for sure!! Bravo!!
Of all the lawn mowing TH-cam channels that I have looked, you are the number one that does everything and leave. Nothing behind. You do all cleanups all cut ups and all fix ups. Great job.SEAN I like the job did you do I love you channel? I don’t miss not one of them. I’m up-to-date. I anticipate the next one to come. God bless your heart.
I agree, glad I found this channel, was tired of people leaving a thck blanket of lawn clippings behind. If you havent seen them, check out TK Lawns and M&D Lawn Care, they do great work and clean up as they go along.
@@marindapretorius4515there’s a fellow in Australia called BladeMates. He works with their social services and helps out seniors and disabled veterans who can’t do their own yards. He weed whips, picks up trash etc.
I enjoy hearing your commentary and hearing the people that come over to thank you. What I enjoy more is that you stop your work even when you are tired to listen to people and even accept handshakes and hugs. Shows you are people-oriented and not task-oriented. May you keep finding God's blessing overflow.
@@kathyleicester7306 I think maybe millions of people think subscribe means you have to pay. That should be cleared up somehow. He has 9.5 million views on the one where the guy called the sops on him. If only 10% of them hit subscribe he would be over a million.
I think what sets him apart is his voice, how he interacts, he's very handsome and looks very educated to be doing this. The others just don't have what he does.
Right. Most of them have a few crews that do just that. Why they're letting that one go, I don't understand. A little prevention would be better than having to send out a crew for restoring power.
It's tough to tell but I think most of that is in the communication lines and not in the power. The power company probably trimmed it back away from the power.
This is false, I used to be a foreman for one. The power company only owns 2ft around each pole. Me and my crew had the luxury of getting tore up by poison ivy and bees getting to them where we could dig 2-3 feet down to make sure they weren't rotting. Best part is they have a minimum amount of poles you have to check daily if you don't want to be fired. Detroit never hired us but Memphis did...I never want to go back
The city needs to come and deal with the tall trees hanging over the power line. Taxpayers have to hold their city accountable, call every single day if you have to.
Thanks so much for being a great asset to your community. We can tell those bottles have been buried for a long time. Very nice to see you are appreciated. Blessings from Central Tx.
Sean you have to be one of the nicest guys on you tube. I’m a long way away on an island in eastern Canada but it’s nice to see someone stepping up and helping people in need. This format of using social media as a tool to help people and fund the work is great to see. Standup guy. Proud of you.
Someone is getting very creative editing these videos. Great transitions, slo-mo, and drone footage. I loved transitioning between street and drone. Seeing the residents stop to thank you shows their appreciation for your hard work.
Ditto! Love the different angles and effects. But I am wondering, how do you drive the drone, if you are alone, while you are working? Great job Sean! It is wonderful that the neighbors appreciate your work.
Lovely and grateful people in that neighborhood! I liked the gentleman who walked over at 17:50 minutes who said he spent time picking up all the bottles & trash a while back too. There are so many underserved & forgotten neighborhoods. This makes me think of starting my own neighborhood volunteer groups to help those who really need it!! And Miss Claudia, what a wonderful & beautiful woman to stop by and express loving words of appreciation with hugs. Now THAT'S love!!!
Hi i would like to suggest using a rake for aĺl the branches and glass so it wont hurt your back too,to save time.a bit, all in all good job, wish i could ask help from you too.
Making Detroit Beautiful...one sidewalk at a time. Cleaning these up has a huge impact on the neighborhood. Community pride, walkability, safety, you've given all that back on top of all your hard work.
For those people to take the time to stop and say thank you is huge! A thank you goes along way. Keep doing what you're doing, it doesn't go unnoticed! Great work!❤
When you said "let's whip it" ..... the "Whip It" song came to mind (might be before you time...lol) - here's the refrain....... Now whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead Try to detect it It's not too late To whip it Whip it good Sean, you are so amazing & so loved.... God Bless You 🙏 ❤
Wow another huge overgrowth. Good job. What gets me is that all these people stop with lots of well earned praises. But did anyone think to make a neighborhood cleanup instead wait for a free cleanup. Neighborhoods always do this---it's nuts.
These people pay taxes to the city for this stuff. Apparently, they are paying taxes for nothing! And did you see how dangerous the overhanging tree is on the power lines? People are paying for this too on top of their electricity cost. You expect them to do that too? Where are the electric company as well as the city?
I just love the people who stop and thank him. They are such a loving community. Sometimes places just need a reset because maybe they don’t have the tools to tackle it when it gets this bad. I hope and pray there are some communities who come together and try to keep the upkeep going ❤️🙏❤️
It is so true with that lady said they gave him a lot of hugs.“SEAN” you’re such an incredible man very special and it’s beautiful to see a lot of people coming and give you kiss and hugs and appreciation of what you do. It makes everybody else like me and your subscriber is so proud of you for doing a great job and going on and beyond, God bless you and God bless your soul. God bless your family.
It's Monday!!!!Yeah!!!!Watching from Florida where we are going through a bad tropical storm in central Florida and northern Florida is experiencing a Cat 1 hurricane I am blessed to be inland and blessed to be watching Midlife Stockman. Have a great day everyone!!!🙏
Hi from Ocala....big storm. Lots of wind and rain. Tornado watch for most of the state. I still have power.....gotta watch my favorite lawn show. You've come a long way Sean with equipment, skills, and more involved sites to work on. Remember you first one?
Has anyone noticed- we do not have a representative government… taxation without representation… read our founding documents for more.. good job Sean as always! Keep on rockin’ on! God bless you and your family 🙏
Did you ever in your wildest dreams think from that first yard you recorded would make you a TH-cam yard hero and be so recognized?!! I've been watching each and every video and so extremely proud of who you are and your fortitude getting these sorry places looking like you do. The world needs more giving, caring people like you in it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making these eyesores into smiling places once again. Giving you the BEST YARDMAN OLYMPIC MEDAL this year. You certainly deserve it!! 😅 👍🤗😇🥰
OMG !! This has been such an emotional and beautiful day for you and us !! To see the community stop to tell you how appreciative they are of your work it was touching and rewarding…your hard work it’s recognized not only by us following you but by a community that appreciates and recognizes your dedication !! The sidewalks always gets me as it is the safety of everyone…children, disabled, elderly !! Thank you for your hard work, dedication, attention to details and commitment to improving the neighborhood, one by one !!
Every time you say "lets break through this" I hear Break on Through (to the other side) by The Doors. This was another outstanding job, well done Sean. So happy seeing the community coming by and saying thank you. I hope you realize, this channel is going to get a whole lot bigger and it's well deserved.
I wonder if perhaps the property owner doesn't realize they are responsible for the easement as well. Thanks for lending a hand when things get out of control!
i learn watching many of his videos and others like him, there are reason why there is such overgrowth. either no one lives in that area or past away or the person is dealing with some health issues, however, this doesn't give the town/city and excuse not to take care of the sidewalk area
Your family and all who support you deserve accolades. helping without asking for a return is actually getting the biggest return that money will never buy.. Respect.🤩
40:36 "Ok... that's about all I've got. Gonna call it a day." Then proceeds to doublefist leaf blower and weedeater - kills all the residual bits that were previously buried under debris. That commitment to detail is something else, man. Thank you for your dedication.
In my state the power company is responsible for trimming trees near the power lines. Who is responsible where you live? Fantastic job as always, Sean!
My friend, you're getting attention all over the internet, and even in other states by your fellow lawncare workers and companies. Sounds like a blowup to me. Your work is always the highest quality.
this man should be compensated for all the hard work he is doing at his cost. the city should be doing what he is. this is very very hard work. and he is hurting himself, and some of his injuries could come back in his older years. never the less GOD BLESS YOU SIR. YOU HAVE THE HEART OF AN ANGEL. GOD IS WATCHING YOU AND WILL PROTECT YOU. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR THESE COMMUNITIES AND PROPERTY OWNERS. 😇
One of your best transformations. So wonderful to see the neighborhood so appreciative. I hope someone takes the bull by the horns and maintains it. That would show true pride in their community. Great work here. God bless you for your kindness and generosity.
When you are dancing with that shovel work, it makes me think of my hubby when he was young and a phenomenal worker like you. He is 81 now with some health problems that have slowed him down, Glad to see you using the gloves for safety and the gator to protect your lungs. I watch you every week. God bless. ❤
As I said last week we'll never know how many children's lives you could be saving by opening up those sidewalks and even adults lives. But the children don't always look and you are an amazing giving man and your bright cheerful attitude is so special. Thank you for all you do. And I agree with all those that believe you deserve a community award!!
I cannot believe that the city allows for these properties to get so overgrown on the power lines. Thank you for your great work! It’s very satisfying to watch you clean these properties up!
not sure which city but Detroit can't afford to clear snow on the residential streets in the winter. it is difficult to inspect all the streets much less take care for absent owners
Hello, from Trinity, North Carolina. You make it look so easy, but I know from experience that it's anything but easy! At 78, hubby and I are still keeping up our acre lot with many trees, flower beds, and weeds. It can get overwhelming, especially when it's so hot. And when we get behind, it's tough getting caught back up. But, so far, we're still doing the best we can. Keep up the good work!
I agree with The Lady that gave you a Hug. If that was my Neighborhood I wouldn't know How to Repay You for your Kindness. The City wouldn't Care If The Trees and The Grass Grows all the way to Heaven. That is Why there is So much Love for You from that Neighborhood cause they know you Care about them. God Bless You and What you Do.
Sean, you’re like the energizer bunny, my friend. You just keep going and going and going.😂 the community showing you love is really special. Very nice change God bless and take care of yourself.❤️🙏😎
I wait weekly for your new videos, you're amazing in what you're doing for the community. Rough work but you accomplish each and every one!! God Bless You and Your Family :)
Sean... you are so full of grace. The residents see it, we see it and hopefully city officials will see it. Blessed be and Detroit is lucky to have you. Blessings to you and your family... i heard the trains and thought of your son ☺️
I hope you are being very careful watching for needles when you are digging out the trash…great job! You are amazing and deserve all the “love” this community is showing you.
People of Detroit, contact your City Councillor's let's get Sean awarded the Keys of the City of Detroit for outstanding work in the community. You can do this!

"You are such a bad person" said the pig. "I think you should have taken at least one of us out fishing with you."
It's universal: nobody wants to do nuffin'.
Perfect!
I think the city needs to give Sean a chipper for all the selfless community work he’s doing to keep their city beautiful.
YES, YES, Yes!!!!😂❤
That would be amazing!!
the city spended all the money on rainbows and woke crap
so that nothing would actually be accomplished .
Me too! He’s saving them tons in red tape and all the other bologna that is involved in dealing with these types of issues
I agree 100%.
this man deserves a free chipper, come on big companies do your bit
Yes please! Someone sponsor him!
I guess Midlife deserved to have some sponsors, I watch a lot of them on TH-cam but Midlife does a good job, very particular in doing his job, hard working guy. He does perfection. Watching from Calgary AB Canada

Do you know how many abandoned homes are on the waiting list to be torn down?
No bc it's not THEIR neighborhood
That is the reason the cities do not do any public works, they do not pay enough taxes, Californians do so we demand the work get done
@@DebbieCostello-k8p the power co. would get the tree limbs out of their lines too here in CA.
I am pretty sure they did not know, it needs neighbours to report this but obviously nobody cared so far..
What sets Midlife apart is his blend of camera angles, altruism, and big results.
(whispering… ‘and his looks’)
What sets him apart is that he goes above and beyond on these projects. Seems like he actually cares about helping people and not just doing good deeds for the clicks and likes ❤️

I watch him to relax at the end of the day, but I always get inspired and want to go do what he does.
He is the best.. there’s only two other people that I know of that does as thorough of a job as he does on these properties.
Everybody coming up to thank him for his work is how normal neighbors should act, not like other videos where some Karen calls the cops because “he’s in my neighborhood “.
Love your transformations, but I think the best part is the community love. I’m sure these communities feel a bit forgotten by their officials, and having just one person think they are worthy of a little help feels amazing. Hearing that woman be thankful that you cared enough to want their kids to have a sidewalk to walk to school on warmed my heart. 💜
I love that you talk to the camera while working, its more entertaining and personal. You do an amazing job, I love the wholesome content you put out there!!
Someone should reward this self-sacrificing gentleman for making a neighborhood safer for the residents, especially the children. They should organize a neighborhood watch committee to keep it looking as great as Sean left it.
One thing that definitely makes a huge difference in your videos MS, is the very fact that so many pundits say how AWFUL race relations are in this country. You prove them wrong. I see great gratitude from all people for what you are doing, and it does not matter what race they are. THAT is more than commendable, it is a blessing. Keep it up man, you are a credit to the word blessings!
You're so right. I've never been treated better. I love my community!
Seriously, and it's Detroit, where everybody is everybody, black, white, asian, hispanic, whatever ethnicity, all living in the City trying to make it work.
If you want to do something…take the initiative to find out who is responsible for these highways and byways and then urge them to do the job so Sean doesn’t have to. It’s a big city with good people who are willing to help.😅
😊😊😊😊@@kathyleicester7306
You need to wear shin guards 27:56
I love how friendly and appreciative the neighbors are in that area. So many people see what you are doing and then go outside to meet you and to personally thank you.
But no one is helping. This is their home/neighborhood. People have got to stop thinking it’s ‘not my job’
@@kathymurphy7026 Excellent point.
I’m hoping by Sean doing this type of thing it sparks a sense of community within the neighborhood and they at the very least keep it up. I mean, how it was is daunting…I get that. Upkeep takes a lot less effort.
@@kathymurphy7026 That's what I mentioned to Sean several videos back. They all come out to say thanks but never offer to help. Okay ice water and snacks are offered on occasion but no one ever helps cut, trim, edge, blow, nor mow. This one lady a few videos back said 'I'm gonna go home and change clothes and come back to help you" but she never did. Not that we could see. Or he didn't record it.
@@TimberWolfeVids Yes. If the community created a neighborhood pride group, each member could do a bit to maintain the area and everyone would benefit. That way no single person would have the burden of maintaining the common use areas.
Get this man a mulcher, people! A nice strong one to help him do this work to make everything look so nice! He deserves it!❤️ I am saying this from Alaska! You are such a blessed community to have this man there!
You're the star of that neighbour hood! I've never seen so much love being shown in one video! Awesome work as always
My grandmother told me about people like you…..she called them Angels Unaware! Thank you for your kindness 💕
The power company in our town clears power lines in their own without even having to be called. The fact that the line has so much on it is mind-boggling to me.
Same here, NC, and I'm the dispatcher.
Sean, you always do a great job…with a smile on your face! It’s amazing how many people stop to thank you for caring. Pretty soon you are going to have to bring a table so that you will have a place to meet and greet and sign your autograph! But seriously, you are a blessing and I pray God will be with you always. Love, love, love your videos.
You go above and beyond, like cleaning the sewer drain in the road so properties aren’t flooded/damaged when the rains come!! A real community hero!! Congratulations!!
This guy has no chill till he fixes America, May God bless you with all the joy and health.
Especially his health with all the crap he cleans up... people need to come together to make sure their own neighborhoods are clean at all times 🙄
I don't think people realize how much effort it takes to work over your head with your arms. You have some great stamina and strength to do this work. Thank you for being a good steward of this Earth God put us on💪🙏
Yes Sabrina...I call him an "Earth Angel" and they are needed now, more than ever !!😇
Amen 🙏🇺🇸
especially considering it's 90 degrees out with Michigan humidity (32.2 Celsius with 80% humidity)
The work you do for your community deserves an award! Everything you do is so thorough, meticulous and the results are spectacular. Now people have a safe place to walk and the road has drainage! The only ones who are gonna be ticked off are the idjits who've been using it as a bar/bottle dump! Great work as always.
When I’ve had enough of the negativity online I watch your channel. You Sir are a good human being. Keep up the good work. 😊
The bottles are ridiculous! In my neighborhood, there's a little walkway that connects two housing developments. I cleaned up the litter in there and found 50lbs of glass bottles, mostly vodka bottles in the bushes! I think that guy was right. People who don't want to be caught drinking stash the bottles in bushes rather than throwing them out or recycling them at home. It's a sad indicator that there are people in the area with an alcohol problem.
i agree, but there are no trashcans around either! How about some infrastructure, too?
When I was growing up, they actually had commercials about litter. Maybe they need to bring those back or teach kids how to not litter in the first grade. Nobody should be throwing things out their window or on a sidewalk. They can wait till they get home to toss it in the cart
I kind of hope that all who wanted to offer thanks, water etc might perhaps meet up with each other, now they see the video, and make a rota to keep the bottles picked up, at least. As others have said, a sad telltale thatmost of them seem to be the same small bottles of vodka - some local shop must be making a killing, surely?
Perhaps having a nicer neighbourhood feel will encourage everyine to make some changes
As far as I can tell Michigan still has bottle deposit laws. There's probably some decent change to be made turning those bottles back in.
@@Benanov yep, 10 cents per bottle.
2 things that ticks me off. 1. the town/city are responsible for these sidewalks and 2. i hate litterbugs, like wow really people. i feel that the town/city you live in/clean up should do some type of donations fund to help you out. i love watching you all the time. i am just glad people like you want to do this tedious job. God Bless You
Let alone the power company for not trimming the growth into and on the power lines
In California it is up to the owner of the lot to maintain the land, the sidewalk, and the nature strip (strip of grass between the sidewalk and curb). The power company can even impose a fine for letting your vegetation grow into the power lines. I don't know what the rules are in Michigan.
@@loretaylor1866same in Illinois , I maintain the sidewalk .
@@loretaylor1866 Washington state also.
Sean u need a protective vest for that job! Smh!
Love when you clean sidewalks so the whole neighborhood can enjoy walking.❤
I love your channel. I've been watching lawn care transformations for a couple years but now when I watch them I find myself holding them up to the Midlife Stockman standard. You do such beautiful work. You take care of everything, it's satisfying to watch. I've got my 90 year old Mom loving it too :) stay safe and keep doing all wonderful things you do! You're a blessing to your community.
Thanks for such a nice comment!
I have been watching your channel and out of all transformation the others do... Your's is the best. You take so much pride in what you do for your community. I cannot wait to see next weeks transformation. God bless and take care. 🙏🙏😊😊
Sean, you outworked and outdone yourself on this sidewalk. Those slowmo bits are pure perfection. You weren't wrong about those vines, and the outpouring of love and gratitude from the community is heartwarming to see. Hopefully, those glas bottles will find their way into the recycling system. Gen 💜🇿🇦
Aren't those overgrown areas the responsibility of the city?
It does show there are still good people out in the world in every neighborhood.
I wondered the same as you
You’re a good man, I’m so proud of the people stopping by and thanking you ..❤
It's nice to see you have an extended family in that neighborhood. I think people in England are telling Jack that he looks like Midlife Stockman. Keep up the good work and quoting Devo, "Whip it, whip it good"
Jack should be honored! 😅
Except he & Jack Grealish look nothing alike. Such a weird comparison.
Sean is like the Energizer bunny! He just keeps going and going and going! 😄
My thoughts exactly.💯
I wish that our society awarded medals for outstanding performances in their particular field of service because if we did you would have gotten 2 gold medals for these last 2 overgrown areas for sure!! Bravo!!
Of all the lawn mowing TH-cam channels that I have looked, you are the number one that does everything and leave. Nothing behind. You do all cleanups all cut ups and all fix ups. Great job.SEAN I like the job did you do I love you channel? I don’t miss not one of them. I’m up-to-date. I anticipate the next one to come. God bless your heart.
I agree, glad I found this channel, was tired of people leaving a thck blanket of lawn clippings behind. If you havent seen them, check out TK Lawns and M&D Lawn Care, they do great work and clean up as they go along.
Yes I agree, quick cuts and flawless cleaning and blessing boys are also do all the above
Agree.
@TLoumena another nice guy doing gardening is Josh's lawn services. He always tidies up
@@marindapretorius4515there’s a fellow in Australia called BladeMates. He works with their social services and helps out seniors and disabled veterans who can’t do their own yards. He weed whips, picks up trash etc.
I enjoy hearing your commentary and hearing the people that come over to thank you. What I enjoy more is that you stop your work even when you are tired to listen to people and even accept handshakes and hugs. Shows you are people-oriented and not task-oriented.
May you keep finding God's blessing overflow.
So happy for Mondays to watch Midlife Stockman!! OMG, that is a beast of overgrowth and neglect wow!!!
Me too
How you don't have a million subs yet is beyond me. You are a true neighbor that Jesus talks about.
Keep telling people about it, his subscribers have really grown in the past little bit. Let's push him over 2 million!
@@kathyleicester7306 I think maybe millions of people think subscribe means you have to pay. That should be cleared up somehow. He has 9.5 million views on the one where the guy called the sops on him. If only 10% of them hit subscribe he would be over a million.
He's getting there. He's been growing really fast. The other guys have been doing this for while. Sean will hit his mill in a few short months. 😊
Always interesting to see other trailers with lawn equipment just go by.
I think what sets him apart is his voice, how he interacts, he's very handsome and looks very educated to be doing this. The others just don't have what he does.
The others don't use what they have in this skilled way, that's for sure.
Its the power companies responsibility to take care of power lines!!!
Right. Most of them have a few crews that do just that. Why they're letting that one go, I don't understand. A little prevention would be better than having to send out a crew for restoring power.
This may be a municipal power company owned by the city and no one has reported it
It's tough to tell but I think most of that is in the communication lines and not in the power. The power company probably trimmed it back away from the power.
This is false, I used to be a foreman for one. The power company only owns 2ft around each pole. Me and my crew had the luxury of getting tore up by poison ivy and bees getting to them where we could dig 2-3 feet down to make sure they weren't rotting. Best part is they have a minimum amount of poles you have to check daily if you don't want to be fired. Detroit never hired us but Memphis did...I never want to go back
@@brandonweeks ... I've sure seen them out there doing it before, at least in my area. Maybe they contracted the work out though.
The city needs to come and deal with the tall trees hanging over the power line. Taxpayers have to hold their city accountable, call every single day if you have to.
THAT’S RIGHT!
29:38 I'm crying. Such a beautiful community; grateful for the work you do. Melts my heart!!!
Thanks so much for being a great asset to your community. We can tell those bottles have been buried for a long time. Very nice to see you are appreciated. Blessings from Central Tx.
Sean you have to be one of the nicest guys on you tube. I’m a long way away on an island in eastern Canada but it’s nice to see someone stepping up and helping people in need. This format of using social media as a tool to help people and fund the work is great to see. Standup guy. Proud of you.
“Okay, I’m real tired…” continues to work for what I can only guess would at least another 1.5 hours
You can tell by the length of the shadows how late in the day it is and he said it 90 degrees---always smiling at the end!
Someone is getting very creative editing these videos. Great transitions, slo-mo, and drone footage. I loved transitioning between street and drone. Seeing the residents stop to thank you shows their appreciation for your hard work.
Thanks for noticing. I spend a lot of time editing.
I noticed all the small details as well, great job. Just subscribed 😊
Ditto! Love the different angles and effects. But I am wondering, how do you drive the drone, if you are alone, while you are working? Great job Sean! It is wonderful that the neighbors appreciate your work.
Lovely and grateful people in that neighborhood! I liked the gentleman who walked over at 17:50 minutes who said he spent time picking up all the bottles & trash a while back too. There are so many underserved & forgotten neighborhoods. This makes me think of starting my own neighborhood volunteer groups to help those who really need it!! And Miss Claudia, what a wonderful & beautiful woman to stop by and express loving words of appreciation with hugs. Now THAT'S love!!!
That was so lovely her showing the love and appreciation of the community. Gave me a lump in my throat..💖
Yes sir..u r so deserving🎉
Hi i would like to suggest using a rake for aĺl the branches and glass so it wont hurt your back too,to save time.a bit, all in all good job, wish i could ask help from you too.
Making Detroit Beautiful...one sidewalk at a time. Cleaning these up has a huge impact on the neighborhood. Community pride, walkability, safety, you've given all that back on top of all your hard work.
It’s Pontiac, MI, not Detroit.
I really like the huge community appreciation and, of course, those hugs were truly special❤️
For those people to take the time to stop and say thank you is huge! A thank you goes along way. Keep doing what you're doing, it doesn't go unnoticed! Great work!❤
When you said "let's whip it" ..... the "Whip It" song came to mind (might be before you time...lol) - here's the refrain.......
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good
Sean, you are so amazing & so loved....
God Bless You 🙏 ❤
Hahaha… love that song. Good one 😊
I hear this every time he says it, too!!! Makes me giggle.
I remember that song😅
Yeah! DEVO! 👍🏻
Loved that song!
You did a very good job. It looks so much better. My back hurts just watching this. Good job
Do the people that stop by ever volunteer to help you or do you prefer to work alone? You are my super hero. ❤
Wow another huge overgrowth. Good job. What gets me is that all these people stop with lots of well earned praises. But did anyone think to make a neighborhood cleanup instead wait for a free cleanup. Neighborhoods always do this---it's nuts.
These people pay taxes to the city for this stuff. Apparently, they are paying taxes for nothing! And did you see how dangerous the overhanging tree is on the power lines? People are paying for this too on top of their electricity cost. You expect them to do that too? Where are the electric company as well as the city?
It also takes the right equipment to do the job. Most folks don't have that. Thank you MS for all you do.
I just love the people who stop and thank him. They are such a loving community. Sometimes places just need a reset because maybe they don’t have the tools to tackle it when it gets this bad. I hope and pray there are some communities who come together and try to keep the upkeep going ❤️🙏❤️
It is so true with that lady said they gave him a lot of hugs.“SEAN” you’re such an incredible man very special and it’s beautiful to see a lot of people coming and give you kiss and hugs and appreciation of what you do. It makes everybody else like me and your subscriber is so proud of you for doing a great job and going on and beyond, God bless you and God bless your soul. God bless your family.
It's Monday!!!!Yeah!!!!Watching from Florida where we are going through a bad tropical storm in central Florida and northern Florida is experiencing a Cat 1 hurricane I am blessed to be inland and blessed to be watching Midlife Stockman. Have a great day everyone!!!🙏
Glad you’re in a safe place.
Stay safe🙏
Hi from Ocala....big storm. Lots of wind and rain. Tornado watch for most of the state.
I still have power.....gotta watch my favorite lawn show. You've come a long way Sean with equipment, skills, and more involved sites to work on. Remember you first one?
I’m in Sarasota storm went through here late last night early morning.. still raining.
Has anyone noticed- we do not have a representative government… taxation without representation… read our founding documents for more.. good job Sean as always! Keep on rockin’ on! God bless you and your family 🙏
Thanks!
You are such a blessing to everyone in your community. Thanks for all you do. I look forward to your videos every week!
Thank you for such kind words!!
@@MidlifeStockmanI love watching your lawn care videos on your TH-cam channel
@@MidlifeStockman 🙏
Did you ever in your wildest dreams think from that first yard you recorded would make you a TH-cam yard hero and be so recognized?!! I've been watching each and every video and so extremely proud of who you are and your fortitude getting these sorry places looking like you do. The world needs more giving, caring people like you in it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making these eyesores into smiling places once again. Giving you the BEST YARDMAN OLYMPIC MEDAL this year. You certainly deserve it!! 😅 👍🤗😇🥰
“All it takes is one person…”
Thank you, for being that person for this community.
OMG !! This has been such an emotional and beautiful day for you and us !! To see the community stop to tell you how appreciative they are of your work it was touching and rewarding…your hard work it’s recognized not only by us following you but by a community that appreciates and recognizes your dedication !! The sidewalks always gets me as it is the safety of everyone…children, disabled, elderly !!
Thank you for your hard work, dedication, attention to details and commitment to improving the neighborhood, one by one !!
Every time you say "lets break through this" I hear Break on Through (to the other side) by The Doors. This was another outstanding job, well done Sean. So happy seeing the community coming by and saying thank you. I hope you realize, this channel is going to get a whole lot bigger and it's well deserved.
I wonder if perhaps the property owner doesn't realize they are responsible for the easement as well. Thanks for lending a hand when things get out of control!
To quote Jim Morrison, “break on through to the other side!”😊 Another job well done Sean!! Thank you for caring!🫶🏽😊
Somebody owns that property how can they get away with so much neglect. You do more than show love for your community you show love for all humanity
i learn watching many of his videos and others like him, there are reason why there is such overgrowth. either no one lives in that area or past away or the person is dealing with some health issues, however, this doesn't give the town/city and excuse not to take care of the sidewalk area
Your family and all who support you deserve accolades. helping without asking for a return is actually getting the biggest return that money will never buy.. Respect.🤩
Hopefully your work will encourage all of the neighbors to work to keep their neighborhood like this.
40:36 "Ok... that's about all I've got. Gonna call it a day." Then proceeds to doublefist leaf blower and weedeater - kills all the residual bits that were previously buried under debris. That commitment to detail is something else, man. Thank you for your dedication.
One person can make a difference. Sean is a living example of this. Much love and respect.
In my state the power company is responsible for trimming trees near the power lines. Who is responsible where you live? Fantastic job as always, Sean!
My friend, you're getting attention all over the internet, and even in other states by your fellow lawncare workers and companies. Sounds like a blowup to me. Your work is always the highest quality.
this man should be compensated for all the hard work he is doing at his cost. the city should be doing what he is. this is very very hard work. and he is hurting himself, and some of his injuries could come back in his older years. never the less GOD BLESS YOU SIR. YOU HAVE THE HEART OF AN ANGEL. GOD IS WATCHING YOU AND WILL PROTECT YOU. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR THESE COMMUNITIES AND PROPERTY OWNERS. 😇
It’s all in your attitude that makes your personality so attractive. Even when you are dead tired you keep a positive and thankful attitude.
Once again you have shown tremendous work ethic. It’s so nice to see the genuine support and appreciation from the community. Excellent work Sean 👏🏻👏🏻
One of your best transformations. So wonderful to see the neighborhood so appreciative. I hope someone takes the bull by the horns and maintains it. That would show true pride in their community. Great work here. God bless you for your kindness and generosity.
I don't know what to say, but you are a hero my friend. The world deserve more people like you.
When you are dancing with that shovel work, it makes me think of my hubby when he was young and a phenomenal worker like you. He is 81 now with some health problems that have slowed him down, Glad to see you using the gloves for safety and the gator to protect your lungs. I watch you every week. God bless. ❤
Watching for a second time, still as great as the first time.
Agreed! Second for me too.
As I said last week we'll never know how many children's lives you could be saving by opening up those sidewalks and even adults lives. But the children don't always look and you are an amazing giving man and your bright cheerful attitude is so special. Thank you for all you do. And I agree with all those that believe you deserve a community award!!
You are an inspiration and a bright, beautiful light in this world. I am grateful for you. ❤️❤️
28:02 this is amazing. This is wonderful to watch and hear. You are doing so much
I cannot believe that the city allows for these properties to get so overgrown on the power lines.
Thank you for your great work!
It’s very satisfying to watch you clean these properties up!
not sure which city but Detroit can't afford to clear snow on the residential streets in the winter. it is difficult to inspect all the streets much less take care for absent owners
I pray the neighbors who live close to his "accomplishments" maintain those finished projects.
Hello, from Trinity, North Carolina. You make it look so easy, but I know from experience that it's anything but easy! At 78, hubby and I are still keeping up our acre lot with many trees, flower beds, and weeds. It can get overwhelming, especially when it's so hot. And when we get behind, it's tough getting caught back up. But, so far, we're still doing the best we can. Keep up the good work!
I'm getting teary eyed seeing how much your work is appreciated by the community. ❤️
Whatever community it is that you’re in they’re very lucky to have you! Great job!
Thanks! You are Awesome !!! But you can’t keep going Sean. Go Rest .
It's so wonderful to see how the community stops by to show their love and support for all the work you do!! ❤️
Yay Stockman Day! ❤🎉
I agree with The Lady that gave you a Hug. If that was my Neighborhood I wouldn't know How to Repay You for your Kindness. The City wouldn't Care If The Trees and The Grass Grows all the way to Heaven. That is Why there is So much Love for You from that Neighborhood cause they know you Care about them. God Bless You and What you Do.
Sean, you’re like the energizer bunny, my friend. You just keep going and going and going.😂 the community showing you love is really special. Very nice change God bless and take care of yourself.❤️🙏😎
I wait weekly for your new videos, you're amazing in what you're doing for the community. Rough work but you accomplish each and every one!! God Bless You and Your Family :)
Sean... you are so full of grace. The residents see it, we see it and hopefully city officials will see it. Blessed be and Detroit is lucky to have you. Blessings to you and your family... i heard the trains and thought of your son ☺️
I hope you are being very careful watching for needles when you are digging out the trash…great job! You are amazing and deserve all the “love” this community is showing you.
That's what the puncture-proof gloves are for.
@@Benanov I figured so, but he doesn’t always remember to wear them…
I was thinking the same thing about needles nd such. Glad he has the puncture proof gloves.
