If she's on benefits, it might have been more humane if the council had helped her out instead of threatening her. It seems that more and more councils see their citizens as the enemy rather than the people they are elected to serve.
My question is does Sheila have any living descendants/relations She’s almost a hundred and is vulnerable surprised the neighbors didn’t bother go inside and check around with so much vegetation you can get rodents foxes pests even the car was found there for goodness how long !!!! Shiela must have at least a friend with her or a grandkid to look after her maintain that huge yard and keep her company I would be very worried if poor Sheila resides in London given the rising crime rates costs and amongst other things
So the Council has the manpower to bully and frighten elderly people, but no plan in place to help them. Well done to you and your "boys;" you're making a difference.
Local authorities used to provide garden services for the elderly and disabled. The budget restrictions have obviously meant that service was cut. No neighbours to help this old lady? Bless you and your dad for stepping in to do this.
The law says if a neighbours plant is overhanging your property you have the right to cut it back to the boundary line. Instead of doing exactly that the council harass a 96 year old. Thank-you for stepping in to help this senior.
I thinks its fair to put the burden on the home owner at first. Even if she can't do it herself she might have family or be able to hire someone to take care of it. But if the home owner is unable to handle it, the council should help rather than punish.
The law in germany says that the property owner is responsible for keeping the public space in front of the property clear and clean. I just don‘t understand why the neighbors did not do a little clipping at least at those hanging branches on the walkway.
I lost my 94-year-old mother last November and Sheila reminded me of her and how grateful the elderly are for kindnesses from strangers and loved ones. You and your dad are a blessing in this world. Thank you! 😇
Sorry for your loss. 94 is good age though. I lost my mum to sepsis in 2016 and Dad Alzheimer's in 2018. I looked after them both, still miss them daily. Good wishes to you.
Sorry for your losses. It is very difficult to lose family and friends. A dear aunt lived to be nearly 102. She outlived my mother by 25 years. My family's generation before mine is gone now. On a happy note, I am really happy Ben and his Dad are helping Sheila and Norm and others whose names escape me. I like how he calls them all lovely. I am picking up the British phrases. I will probably start telling myself to stop waffling.
Shame on the council,knowing Shelia is 96 they should have helped her not served her with a council notice 😡 Thankfully you and your dad are here to help her. Well done to you both,such a lovely thing to do ❤
Old people can be very stubborn and not all of them are poor either just miserly !! Although I can understand caurion for them with the increasing number of shifty unscrupulous tradesman. My uncle helped an old neighbour in a similar situation with hedges and a conifer overhanging the pavement. The man had family that didn't bother with him anymore family rifts, and despite being a landlord with many properties, the money piled in the bank rather than be spent on home improvements. Good wishes.
I doubt the council even looked to see who lived there. I temped at a council office years ago and all the fines and correspondence are printed and sent out automatically via machines even then. It’s probably even more hands off now. As with most large organisations, we’re not individuals but a number in a very long list of numbers.
@@claire6795sry but who hurt you? Not every elderly person is as you say “miserly or stubborn” but even if they all were, it’s the Government/council job to take care of the properties not expecting seniors to do that. Be careful how you treat the elderly and don’t worry abt what they may or may not have, our duties as humans are to care and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Meaning, helping them out where humanly possible.
Julieallen4486: the government/council don’t care abt their seniors once they’re not able to work anymore. It’s so sad bcuz it’s not only in England but throughout the world. They seem to just discard them which makes me sad.
Ben, you and your Dad are the embodiment of the saying’Be the change you want to see’ If everyone had the same attitude, the world would be a better place. Bless you both for helping this lovely lady. Xx
I'm so glad you fixed the fence too. The whole time you were trimming I was thinking they is no way they will leave that fence unsecure for the lady. Grand job.
Neighbours coming over with tea and sausage rolls for them was sweet. Clearly they care about their neighbour and when they see them giving a helping hand, they're there to show it's appreciated. Very nice to see.
Exactly. Marrying up everyone's schedules to get together to do this would be so hard. Plus how are they going to dispose of all the leaves etc. Better to have a company with the skills and equipment to tackle a job this big. Hopefully now it's manageable the garden can be maintained.
@@scottconroy7949Yes but that has happened overnight has it - I find it hard to believe than none of her neighboirs own shears and secateurs with those gardens !!!!
Fair play to you both. Great job. Typical of the council to focus on "enforcement notices" rather than actually lending a hand to an elderly member of the community. You can clearly see where their efforts, finances and time goes. Well done chaps.
To quote Sheila, "splendid!" What a lovely woman. I know everything you do for her in the series to follow will be incredible. Really looking forward to seeing the transformations. Well done, Ben and Paul! 🙌🙌
It has been some insane graft RJ, filmed 3 and half episodes so far.. and what a difference it's making to Sheila and the property. It's what the channel is all about and have lovely viewers like yourself coming back each week!
Such a lovely lady. You n your dad are both blessed and a blessing. I'll just bet you took a whole lot of anxiety and worrying nights away from this sweet lady. Bless her heart she must be so relieved. And how wonderful of you to put her home back to its original glory. I'm sure she would love to sit in her yard and remember her good life in her sweet home. It's so sad she pays taxes and all the council does is threaten. They should be helping the elderly out. Thank you for your kindness and consideration. Hopefully you know someone who can check on her and know someone who can help keep her place up now on a regular or semi regular basis. She should be able to walk around her home and enjoy the beauty you've restored it to ❤ Thank you so much for your compassion.
Hello everyone 😎 The council needs to take more into consideration as everyone is different. Thank you very much everyone involved helping Sheila Can anyone please tell me the equipment name aswell brand what looks like a long pole in yellow and black? Thank you in advance much appreciated
You are truly blessed. Love n respect for the elderly is important. The most Holy Spirit is watching and you’re teaching others to do the same, thru example. All good deeds are never forgotten, and somehow, they are often rewarded. We often don’t know the who, what, when, where, or why. Was it help from above? Or was it from someone? Someone who cares and is kind. For kindness is always rewarded in so many ways. GOD LOVES US ALL UNCONDITIONALLY. From: the USA you are truly blessed from above forever.
Totally agree, I saw it as a security risk too and just knew that repairing the fence is a must. Plus dad made it look like light work.. would of took me a week
You have motivated me so much to get off my fat lazy arse and not only clean my own garden but other peoples, that if you take the time to get to know um and appreciate what they themselves have done in this world. Many young folk don't see the world like you Ben and I send God's praises to you and your family ❤
What a wonderful gift for this 96 year old. I can't imagine living that long and she's still mobile. She was so grateful and you both did an amazing job. Looking forward to the next episode!
Ben your Dad is an absolute gem! He is so funny, being caught in the brambles!!!! Thank you both for helping the lovely Sheila. Knowing that Sheila is 96 years old, I would have thought that the Council would have taken care of the overhanging growth; rather than giving her a citation. Anyway, I am so glad that you were able to help her out. Lovely family memories.
Councils don't even cover social care for disabled people on benefits, so why would they pay for someone's hedge to be cut? Being old doesn't mean you can't hire a gardener.
Any neighbor could have cut back some of the vegetation obstructing the sidewalk without asking for permission. Just pointing out that someone could have helped avoid a NOV completely anonymously.
@@kennethjackson7574 they'd have to throw the cuttings back into the garden though, otherwise technically it would be theft. Wish I was joking. Maybe nobody helped her because she's one of those miserable curtain twitching old people who screeches at pigeons and they didn't want to get the police knocking on their door for it. There's always far more to a story than anyone tells you.
@@mydogeatspuke So if a branch of a neighbor’s tree overhangs your property you can cut it, but if a branch overhangs public property like a sidewalk or road, the public can’t cut it? From time to time I cross my street and cut branches that scrape on delivery trucks or obstruct sidewalks. Perhaps I should be more discreet.
I hope the neighbors show the lovely lady some love and care like they did you and your dad. I sold my house and moved to an apartment when the upkeep to my yard became too much for me. During the winter I’d go out and shovel snow. Once a complete stranger was driving by. He stopped his truck and finished my shoveling in about five minutes. It probably would have taken me another hour to complete. I tried to pay him, but he wouldn’t accept anything from me. That was a good 20 years ago and I still remember his kindness. Well done!
Another wonderful act of kindness. Sheila is amazing. Still living at home. Was hoping when I saw her fence that Dad would haul out his tools and show his skills. He did not disappoint. Am so glad there will be a part 2. Have a great weekend.
Wow… You really went the extra mile with the fence repair. Another really heartwarming video. Lots of hardwork too. 😅 you deserved the tea and sausage rolls.
I cry and laugh when I watch you 2 work together, you are both so funny with your little sketches, love the way people are stopping to say thank you, this is the way I hope and forsee the world changing, by caring for others. You both are drumming up a storm of love. THANK YOU FROM MY HEART XXXXXXX And thank you to your wife for allowing you to share antics with your beautiful beautiful children xxx
Our mum is 97yrs old and between the three of us kids, and with some help from Grandkids, we’ve managed to keep her in her own home, just like this lovely lady. Anything she needs, we cover and get done for her. I cannot begin to tell you what this work will have meant to her. There are no words to describe how wonderful the pair of you are! 👏👏👏❤
And you, lyn, are fantastic as well. Great to see a family pull together to take care of their elderly. Nowadays, the kids and grandkids live so far away from each other, they cannot do that. What wonderful wisdom your mum must be able to give her grandkids. Truly a blessing.
I can't imagine how overgrown it must be on the inside! Definitely want to see the rest of your rescue of this property. I love watching your Dad's antics! I love that your relationship is so close and he helps you with these projects. You are such a pair! Thank you so much for helping this person. So kind of you!!!
Shocking that any council would serve a notice of obstruction to a 96 year old instead of just helping her out. Disgusting. Well done guys for assisting this lady where the council FAILED.
It's really depressing now many elderly people are struggling on their own to keep their property's tidy . You and your dad are simply awesome. Thank you . ❤
Hi from Canada! SO happy you are helping Sheila. I was hoping your dad would fix that fence and hey presto! Well done, guys! Blessings on your heads. ♥
Who would have thought watching a young lad maintaining an old ladies bush would be so entertaining. Looks like it had not been touched in years (the bush I mean)
Amazing Ben & Dad! What an amazing thing to do for someone in need of a helping hand, youse both deserve an award for all you do! Amazing so far Ben & Paul! Brotherly Love to finish it off 🥰
You and your dad are both angels, going out your way to help that poor old lady. Can’t believe the council didn’t help when it’s obvious that poor old lady needed help. The worlds a better place with you and your dad helping these people
I doubt the council has the skills these days they’d simply call in a contractor to do the jobs they need doing. Alas, those jobs don’t include the upkeep of private property. The nearest they might get is to get someone in to do the job and pass on the bill to the householder since it wouldn’t be a proper use of tax payers money.
Why was it obvious that she needed help? Because she was old? Because it was overgrown? Leave anything without proper maintenance and it will end up like that. It has nothing to do with the property owner, plants just grow. I don't see how cutting it back so it can grow again is helping if she genuinely couldn't afford to hire a gardener to keep on top of it, as she would just end up in the same situation at the end of the next season. Also being old doesn't make someone incapable of hiring a professional. Obviously she wouldn't do it herself, but lots of people don't tend their own gardens. It's wild how everyone just assumes being old makes someone an invalid.
Brought tears to my eyes to see your kindness to this gentle old lady…. and to see her obvious heartfelt gratitude. This is what our world SHOULD look like. Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Can I just say how great it is that you helped clean the property AND fixed the fence. It was obviously in need of a repair and I love that you took care of that too.
Ben you and your dad are amazing, watching your vids gives so many people that are in need of a bit of help hope, you both deserve all the luck in the world 💖💖💖 im sure im not the only one who thinks this, thanks again for all you both do, best wishes to you and your amazing family,💖 from South East Essex 💖
@@FlawlessCleaningServices your videos make a kindness ripple too, you and your dad are really amazing, it's so hard for some of these people to ask for help and you never make them feel like it's a chore and that makes a huge difference, love the help your giving to Shelia and what you've done for Norman, your a first class bloke as is your dad (and gotta say your boys are adorable 💖) can't wait for the next video of Shelia's place huge thanks again for all the things you do 💖
What a wonderful video Ben. You and your father are true heroes. It's actually sad that the council would rather fine her,than help her. It's a sad world we're living in. Thank you both for bringing her peace of mind and putting a smile on her face. Much love to you both 🙏❣️
Aw I love how you sorted the fence out too, your kindness more than made up for the callous Council who could have sorted this for lovely Sheila... This video in so many ways has restored my faith in humanity, the neighbours all being supportive, more communities like this is what we all need, because our Government just fails us. The real people of this country are awesome.
That was so darn cute when Ben was using the leaf blower on Dad and he shook his tail feathers. You and Dad are always well looked after. Thank you to the neighbors from me. The next one will be exciting to see.❤❤
Hands down the best cleanup service I’ve seen on TH-cam!! Unparalleled and far ahead of other really great partners in changing society. When the world seems to be taking a dive in too many ways, you are part of a movement to counteract that tide. I love your dad in the action, his crazy antics, fun loving partnership, your ground level pov, the quiet music, etc. May God bless your efforts with success. Keep going!
May the kindness you give to people be returned to you a thousand fold. The smile on that woman’s face was priceless. That smile is truly a great reward.
Hi Ben and dad, well what a duet you are, you getting stuck into the brambles and dad doing his carpenter genius, wow, what a difference between before and after, bless Sheila's heart, she was definitely grateful for all your efforts, looking forward to the next video, just hope you guys don't fall in the brambles 😂. Brilliant job as usual. Great team work. The word "Team " means, Together Everyone Achieves More. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ben and John! I can't believe how much work there was to do on this house! You guys did a lovely job for the Lovely Sheila! She certainly needed it! And she's only 96 years young! Love and hugs from Larry and Dawn Lynn from Ottawa Canada!
Aww Sheila is a sweetheart and looks great for 96 bless her heart ..well done lads and I look forward to watching The sheila mini series , any update on the Norman's windows? ❤
By the end of next week we shall have a fitting date, So fingers crossed when I'm finished at Sheilas it will be back to Normans! thank you for the kind words!
WONDERFUL FOR MS. SHIELA!! Isn't she an absolute DOLL! I am THRILLED to stumble upon her front roadside bushes tamed in order to keep her in compliance with the city gov't. She was so sweet and thankful, and I can't wait to come along for the ride. After seeing Norman's fab journey, I was searching amongst your episodes and found this little gem. I have a huge old gushy mushy heart for the elderly---you are an earth angel! You and your Dad are indeed the Dynamic Duo! I love seeing you two tease and laugh throughout. Sending blessings always from Washington State (Bigfoot country!) 💛🖤💛 Stacy's Artful Heart
You are making such a difference to peoples lives, I used to be a gardener myself so I know the satisfaction is instant. How lovely, when this lady looks out of her window in the future it will lift her spirits tremendously! I am chomping at the bit to see you do the front garden, nice one gentlemen!☮💚
All looking great on the video. That was some overhang to clear on the pathway, made Sheila a very Happy lady. Great work from both of you as usual 👏 xx
You and your dad are incredible human beings! This lovely old lady deserves every attention lavished on her! I bet Sheila has many stories to tell … to get to such a great age is amazing xxx❤❤❤ thankyou
You and your dad are nothing short off life savers. If all humans were like you, earth would be a better place to be. Giv your dad and your family a big hug from Denmark.
I don’t know what has happened to people whether it’s in the US or England the elderly used to be revered and neighbors helping neighbors. Now that has changed so much. I think it has to do with governments favoring corporations and the wealthy so every day working people have to work twice as hard to get by and they’re too tired to think about anyone else. Thank Heaven that you helped this kindly older lady. Many you and yours have plenty of blessings bestowed upon you
Ben and Paul! You’re such kind and generous gentlemen to assist sweet Sheila in getting the pathway clean and clear! Those raspberries looked delicious! I look forward to more videos of her property! It was so nice of the grateful neighbors offering you tea and sausage rolls! Theo and Arthur are absolutely so precious!! ❤
Fantastic job in Part 1. Sheila is a beautiful gem of a woman. She is amazing for her age. Our older generation is thankful for your generous spirit. You and your dad have serious skills. Love that the fence line was fixed. Looks great. As always, the boys always bring joy at the end. Have a fantastic week.
Helping Sheila! Part two is out now - th-cam.com/video/GGHW3RYudAU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=f09ooyFx6SB-IYhz
You too Ben 💕
❤😊 What a lovely lady! So glad you and Dad are helping her! Was your Dad an exotic dancer in a previous life? 😅😅
wow that was a mission well done guys ebjoy the weekend ❤
Integrity. You are teaching your children this. With your actions. How very beautiful.
God bless you Ben (and your dad). Looking forward to seeing Sheila’s reaction to the rest of the work,well done!!👍👍👍❤❤
If she's on benefits, it might have been more humane if the council had helped her out instead of threatening her. It seems that more and more councils see their citizens as the enemy rather than the people they are elected to serve.
They probably want to say she is incapable. That way they can have her in a nursing home and steal her home and life savings.
My question is does Sheila have any living descendants/relations
She’s almost a hundred and is vulnerable surprised the neighbors didn’t bother go inside and check around with so much vegetation you can get rodents foxes pests even the car was found there for goodness how long !!!!
Shiela must have at least a friend with her or a grandkid to look after her maintain that huge yard and keep her company
I would be very worried if poor Sheila resides in London given the rising crime rates costs and amongst other things
Exactly, a simple means test and if they hasn't got a load of Dosh in the bank the council should be helping.
That’s a big house to be on benefits and afford the utilities in that place. Would love to see the inside

On a happy note, I am really happy Ben and his Dad are helping Sheila and Norm and others whose names escape me.
I like how he calls them all lovely. I am picking up the British phrases. I will probably start telling myself to stop waffling.
I hope she didn't have children or grandchildren that would allow this to happen.
The neighbors' reactions really show the impact you have far outside the property itself. Well done.
Actually was quite shocked myself, I left the interactions in to just hope it will ripple even further. Thank you
I just always wonder why neighbors never pitch in befor it becomes a situation.. but great job to you both looks amazing
was thinking that myself@@douglasbershell8526
I'm helping a woman down the road with hers, her hands are crippled. There's an old man across the way, his nabour does his. So shame on the nabours

You and your dad are what the world needs more of. Thanks for helping Sheila, her relief will be enormous. Well worth a sausage roll !!
You can't beat a sausage roll !!😉😊
Bless him, on the 4th visit he gave us a box of celebrations!
@@FlawlessCleaningServiceswhat a lovely community!
Wonderful. I wish there were someone like this in Texas.
Another Superhero episode. Such a lovely lady needing your help, and a wonderful result. Well done to you both 😁👏👏
Aw lovely Mishka! thank you always for positivity, have a great weekend
Another wonderful act of kindness. Sheila is amazing. Still living at home. Was hoping when I saw her fence that Dad would haul out his tools and show his skills. He did not disappoint. Am so glad there will be a part 2. Have a great weekend.
He even surprised me! Filmed 3 more episodes here and cannot wait to show you all.
Sheila is my favorite of all those you and your dad have helped. She's lovely. Imagine a woman who lived through WWII being served by the council.
You fellows did a wonderful job. I am so glad that you fixed the fence for that lady. You are both my heroes.
Wow… You really went the extra mile with the fence repair. Another really heartwarming video. Lots of hardwork too. 😅 you deserved the tea and sausage rolls.
Thank you so much! Have a lovely weekend
And Dad was so proud of his flawless work 😊😊😊
I cry and laugh when I watch you 2 work together, you are both so funny with your little sketches, love the way people are stopping to say thank you, this is the way I hope and forsee the world changing, by caring for others. You both are drumming up a storm of love. THANK YOU FROM MY HEART XXXXXXX And thank you to your wife for allowing you to share antics with your beautiful beautiful children xxx
What a busy street! Worried about both your safety! And you fixed the fence amazing
Aw thanks for caring! I was worried about people who had to cross the street due to the brambles and bush!
The fact that you guys even fixed the fence!! Hearts of pure gold ♥️
You guys are kind and work really hard. I love your antics and sense of humor. God bless you and "stop waffling and get crackin'!"
You and your father are really something else! You not only cleaned up the mess, you even fixed the fence!!!! 🤩
Our mum is 97yrs old and between the three of us kids, and with some help from Grandkids, we’ve managed to keep her in her own home, just like this lovely lady. Anything she needs, we cover and get done for her.
I cannot begin to tell you what this work will have meant to her.
There are no words to describe how wonderful the pair of you are! 👏👏👏❤
And you, lyn, are fantastic as well. Great to see a family pull together to take care of their elderly. Nowadays, the kids and grandkids live so far away from each other, they cannot do that. What wonderful wisdom your mum must be able to give her grandkids. Truly a blessing.
Family and friends should be helping
@@paulashe61 They may not always be able to
I can't imagine how overgrown it must be on the inside! Definitely want to see the rest of your rescue of this property.
I love watching your Dad's antics! I love that your relationship is so close and he helps you with these projects. You are such a pair!
Thank you so much for helping this person. So kind of you!!!
Next 3 and half episodes have been filmed already, Friday will be part 2 released and plenty more to come thanks fir watching
Shocking that any council would serve a notice of obstruction to a 96 year old instead of just helping her out. Disgusting. Well done guys for assisting this lady where the council FAILED.
I've found my super heroes from across the pond i love watching y'all's transformations from Florida USA ❤
What a beautiful job for a beautiful young woman! The look of happiness has got to melt your heart! Great job guys!!!❤
She makes me so happy! watching this back and hearing her voice and gratitude means a lot..
It's really depressing now many elderly people are struggling on their own to keep their property's tidy . You and your dad are simply awesome. Thank you . ❤
Hi from Canada! SO happy you are helping Sheila. I was hoping your dad would fix that fence and hey presto! Well done, guys! Blessings on your heads. ♥
Your Dad's a legend and you are the hero.
Who would have thought watching a young lad maintaining an old ladies bush would be so entertaining. Looks like it had not been touched in years (the bush I mean)
Amazing Ben & Dad! What an amazing thing to do for someone in need of a helping hand, youse both deserve an award for all you do! Amazing so far Ben & Paul! Brotherly Love to finish it off 🥰
Cheers John! Appreciate it so much! have a cracking weekend
You and your dad are both angels, going out your way to help that poor old lady. Can’t believe the council didn’t help when it’s obvious that poor old lady needed help. The worlds a better place with you and your dad helping these people
I doubt the council has the skills these days they’d simply call in a contractor to do the jobs they need doing.
Alas, those jobs don’t include the upkeep of private property. The nearest they might get is to get someone in to do the job and pass on the bill to the householder since it wouldn’t be a proper use of tax payers money.
Why was it obvious that she needed help? Because she was old? Because it was overgrown? Leave anything without proper maintenance and it will end up like that. It has nothing to do with the property owner, plants just grow. I don't see how cutting it back so it can grow again is helping if she genuinely couldn't afford to hire a gardener to keep on top of it, as she would just end up in the same situation at the end of the next season. Also being old doesn't make someone incapable of hiring a professional. Obviously she wouldn't do it herself, but lots of people don't tend their own gardens. It's wild how everyone just assumes being old makes someone an invalid.
Brought tears to my eyes to see your kindness to this gentle old lady…. and to see her obvious heartfelt gratitude. This is what our world SHOULD look like. Thank you!!!❤❤❤
❤❤❤
I love that there were multiple people coming out to keep y’all fed and hydrated. That’s a beautiful sense of community
Can I just say how great it is that you helped clean the property AND fixed the fence. It was obviously in need of a repair and I love that you took care of that too.
You two are simply awesome
Love how you’re helping the elderly and keeping them in their homes.
It's one thing to do her yard, but when you fixed her fence... Honestly... I shed some tears! ❤
Just wait for the next couple of episodes at Sheila’s we have made a huge difference to the whole property! Can’t wait to share
What a fantastic transformation of the outside of Shelia's house. I look forward to seeing the second part.😊😊
Great job done ben. You and your dad are the best. Sheila surely needed the help. Lovely.
96 years! Thank you for helping this woman !
Your great guys.❤
Thank you so much
I want to say a special thank u for helping this older lady. U guys r true gentlemen.
Thank you for watching another episode at Sheilas coming Friday 😊
I like your show and really look forward to seeing whats next, starting withyour dad bringing fun to the episodes.
Ben you and your dad are amazing, watching your vids gives so many people that are in need of a bit of help hope, you both deserve all the luck in the world 💖💖💖 im sure im not the only one who thinks this, thanks again for all you both do, best wishes to you and your amazing family,💖 from South East Essex 💖
Thank you Emily, being on this main road it was lovely to have so many interactions. It really felt like kindness ripple!
@@FlawlessCleaningServices your videos make a kindness ripple too, you and your dad are really amazing, it's so hard for some of these people to ask for help and you never make them feel like it's a chore and that makes a huge difference, love the help your giving to Shelia and what you've done for Norman, your a first class bloke as is your dad (and gotta say your boys are adorable 💖) can't wait for the next video of Shelia's place huge thanks again for all the things you do 💖
What a sweet lady❤ we need to take care of our elderly. Thank you Ben and Dad for helping Sheila out. You two are the best!
What a wonderful video Ben. You and your father are true heroes. It's actually sad that the council would rather fine her,than help her. It's a sad world we're living in. Thank you both for bringing her peace of mind and putting a smile on her face. Much love to you both 🙏❣️
Respect. Mammoth task. I hope you get loads of paying customers ftom this act of mammoth kindness
Aw I love how you sorted the fence out too, your kindness more than made up for the callous Council who could have sorted this for lovely Sheila... This video in so many ways has restored my faith in humanity, the neighbours all being supportive, more communities like this is what we all need, because our Government just fails us. The real people of this country are awesome.
Ben and dad are the best kind of people, looking forward to part two
That was so darn cute when Ben was using the leaf blower on Dad and he shook his tail feathers. You and Dad are always well looked after. Thank you to the neighbors from me. The next one will be exciting to see.❤❤
God bless you and your Dad for doing this for Sheila. You will be rewarded ten fold for your kindness.
You both went above and beyond with your work and care. Thank you!!
Hands down the best cleanup service I’ve seen on TH-cam!! Unparalleled and far ahead of other really great partners in changing society. When the world seems to be taking a dive in too many ways, you are part of a movement to counteract that tide. I love your dad in the action, his crazy antics, fun loving partnership, your ground level pov, the quiet music, etc.
May God bless your efforts with success. Keep going!
God bless your ministry! Helping the elderly, respecting our mothers and fathers, doing it for no cost … you GET it! ❤
Amen to that 🙏🏼
May the kindness you give to people be returned to you a thousand fold. The smile on that woman’s face was priceless. That smile is truly a great reward.
Hi Ben and dad, well what a duet you are, you getting stuck into the brambles and dad doing his carpenter genius, wow, what a difference between before and after, bless Sheila's heart, she was definitely grateful for all your efforts, looking forward to the next video, just hope you guys don't fall in the brambles 😂. Brilliant job as usual. Great team work. The word "Team " means, Together Everyone Achieves More. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love this simisocks 😃
Exactly that this channel is one big team! And we are all doing wonders together. Thank you!
Ben and John!
I can't believe how much work there was to do on this house!
You guys did a lovely job for the Lovely Sheila! She certainly needed it! And she's only 96 years young!
Love and hugs from Larry and Dawn Lynn from Ottawa Canada!
I'm so glad you'll be coming back to do more work! What you've done is nothing short of amazing, and there's still so much left to do!
Thank you so much, yes filmed 4 episodes already can’t wait to release part 2 on Friday
Aww Sheila is a sweetheart and looks great for 96 bless her heart ..well done lads and I look forward to watching The sheila mini series , any update on the Norman's windows? ❤
By the end of next week we shall have a fitting date, So fingers crossed when I'm finished at Sheilas it will be back to Normans! thank you for the kind words!
@@FlawlessCleaningServices That's great news Ben , Thankyou for the update ❤
Job and a half there lads 🙏🏻👏👏for helping the lady god bless you both 👍🏻😉
You're a superhero ! Excellent job with your new tools. Thank you for your videos, I am a big fan of you helping People. God bless you 😊
Thank you Martin! that is very kind of you! have a lovely weekend
Fantastic job gents,brilliant work you do,and hearts of gold
The council has a lot answer to really , 96 years old may be help her instead of scaring her !!! Thank you guys for helping this lady ,
The fence repair was above and beyond! You both are sooooo nice!
Wow you guys are amazing and so kind!!!! Great work.
Thank you for being apart of this Kathy!
You and your Dad are my heroes. I just love how you give your time and energy to help others. True blessings.
WONDERFUL FOR MS. SHIELA!! Isn't she an absolute DOLL! I am THRILLED to stumble upon her front roadside bushes tamed in order to keep her in compliance with the city gov't. She was so sweet and thankful, and I can't wait to come along for the ride. After seeing Norman's fab journey, I was searching amongst your episodes and found this little gem. I have a huge old gushy mushy heart for the elderly---you are an earth angel! You and your Dad are indeed the Dynamic Duo! I love seeing you two tease and laugh throughout. Sending blessings always from Washington State (Bigfoot country!) 💛🖤💛 Stacy's Artful Heart
What a beautiful job you did for the Lovely Sheila. Bravo! You and your family have beautiful hearts. ❤
Missed the livestream this week, Ben, so I’ll have to go back and watch it later. Looking forward to meeting Sheila (96??? Wow!)!
Aw thanks Lisa! Have a cracking weekend.. I wouldn't have said she was 96! incredible
You are making such a difference to peoples lives, I used to be a gardener myself so I know the satisfaction is instant. How lovely, when this lady looks out of her window in the future it will lift her spirits tremendously! I am chomping at the bit to see you do the front garden, nice one gentlemen!☮💚
I wonder if the front garden in pt2??
All looking great on the video.
That was some overhang to clear on the pathway, made Sheila a very Happy lady.
Great work from both of you as usual 👏 xx
Biggest I've dealt with so far!
You and your dad are incredible human beings!
This lovely old lady deserves every attention lavished on her!
I bet Sheila has many stories to tell … to get to such a great age is amazing xxx❤❤❤ thankyou
Thank you so much for your kindness and for taking the time out to watch and leave lovely comments it means the absolute world thank you
Something else.
I wish i had that the twin leaf rack. I would have save my bad pain decades ago.
You and your dad are nothing short off life savers. If all humans were like you, earth would be a better place to be. Giv your dad and your family a big hug from Denmark.
You two are amazing 🎉. So lovely to see Sheila’s mind put at rest in regard to the council. Great fence Dad! Keep up the good work ❤
Wonderful job thus far ❤
Appreciate that Dean! have a great weekend!
@@FlawlessCleaningServices Thank you you also
So glad you are there to help! Can one of those kindly neighbors help her with maintaining it?
I don’t know what has happened to people whether it’s in the US or England the elderly used to be revered and neighbors helping neighbors. Now that has changed so much. I think it has to do with governments favoring corporations and the wealthy so every day working people have to work twice as hard to get by and they’re too tired to think about anyone else. Thank Heaven that you helped this kindly older lady. Many you and yours have plenty of blessings bestowed upon you
Another great feat lads. You opened up the whole street to view.
The garden is another level and monstrous task to follow.
You and your Dad never cease to amaze me! Awesome job, as always!
Ben and Paul! You’re such kind and generous gentlemen to assist sweet Sheila in getting the pathway clean and clear! Those raspberries looked delicious!
I look forward to more videos of her property!
It was so nice of the grateful neighbors offering you tea and sausage rolls!
Theo and Arthur are absolutely so precious!! ❤
Good job guys👍👍👍
Firstly, yes it needed doing badly.
Secondly, I’d bet my dormer extension that I know where that complaint came from 👀
Good job chaps!
Fantastic job in Part 1. Sheila is a beautiful gem of a woman. She is amazing for her age. Our older generation is thankful for your generous spirit. You and your dad have serious skills. Love that the fence line was fixed. Looks great. As always, the boys always bring joy at the end. Have a fantastic week.
