Update! You lot are amazing.. In just 48 hours over half the money has been raised. I am so incredibly proud of our community.. getting rid of that rotting conservatory base and adapting the house to help Jim & Jean.
Thank you so much for all your support so far, Here is the link to Jim's Go Fund Me - gofund.me/0cda79b1
You guys are amazing!!!!!
@@user-yy4xm4yp8l aren't they just?
Donated. Wish I could give more but will add some when I can.
Of course! Let's all chip in! ❤🇸🇪 I wish this series would never end!
Donated 🎉❤
Easily £20k worth of work, labour, materials, clearing away, disposing of rubbish, new roof, patching up roof in kitchen, new window, new decking, new drainage from kitchen and more... Most of these channels clear trees and bushes which is amazing but this channel right here goes above and beyond and I look forward to watching every week...☺️📺
I look forward to watching every week. Something will definitely be missing when they finish at Jim's place.
Kindness costs nothing. You can’t put a price on that ! 👍❤️👍
If only there were more people like U guys. The world would be a better place.how uplifting Ur videos are. Helping others can be infectious in little or much. All the best to the chaps.
Close to $40,000 USD with everything.
@@toberman3914 Well yeah we are UK so our currency is pound sterling.. 40k dollars is about £25k pound sterling so yeah it's about that could be more by the time they are finished 😅 These guys are amazing and I can see Jim and his Mrs are so very grateful for everything ❤
EVERYONE: have a chat with your elderly neighbours, no matter where you live, there are thousands who are so lost for company.
I couldn’t agree more! Not just older people!
I work in a retirement community. The residents are surrounded by other residents & there’s still so much loneliness going on.
As a receptionist there, I try to listen & be there for them as much as possible 😌🥰❤️
You are so right , a kind word a few minutes to find out how they are . There’s so many lonely people who need company!
❤
Currently in hospital for appendicitis. I'm on a ward with a load of old boys. They must be 40 years my senior. They all decent blokes just want to chat.
I've become the elderly neighbor!🤣
As a widow, there is so much that you physically and financially can no longer do. It is a blessing when someone helps you. Thank you for helping the seniors.
I hope someone is helping you. Best wishes.
Best wishes to you Sarah and all senior citizens xx ♥♥
WOW!! i checked out the go fund me page at 5pm uk it stood at 2k, checked again at 01.39am it stood at over 30k 😮😮😮😮 that is absolutley amazing the generosity of viewers just blows me away 👏🙌 amazing well done everyone.
50 k out of 70k now! Amazing!
came here to update the go fund me progress, and found that someone just did it a short while ago. i'm stunned by the generosity: more than 70% donated in 24 hrs. i so love this channel and the people who humbly share what they can and support Ben, his dad and the other contributors!
we could all use someone like Ben in our communities, helping those in need and inspiring others to do the same...
I love how Jim wants to be involved and makes lunch to contribute. You know how thankful he is.
And always trying to help with the actual work! He really is a sweet man!
@@ca6177just what I was going to say. Is so heartwarming seeing him so happy. 😊
You are so great. Please support him and people like us. It helps us a lot. Thank you. Wishing you and your family the best.
❤
A great big shout out to the lovely man who keeps popping in to take the rubbish away, thank you 🙏
The world needs more people like him, too. That is such a help.
Knights & Sons.. have a look at their channel 😊
@@FlawlessCleaningServicesgreat work, can you link to there’s any any other channels?
Please consider nominating this amazing bunch for the TSB Community Hero award at Pride Of Britain awards.
Yes I live in Canada they deserve to be honored.
@shelleyharris4176 same here. If we can vote I will. Ben deserves it and more. ❤
I know two things about this... taking established vegetation out of the ground is back-breaking, having just removed several bushes myself. Letting Jim help, however he can, is supremely important. I cared for my father for decades, he lived independently until 91 and cancer took his mobility. Jim reminds me so much of him, proud and wonderful, but having a hard time letting others help. You've handled him with grace and given him dignity... good work! So enjoy your channel you are all so fun and amazing. Thank you.
In the beginning Jim shuffled around. He now has pep in his step. This has given him hope
Yeah I noticed that too! its taken years off him it seems
YES!!!🎉🎉 Love that!❤
Yes🎉 I noticed it too, he’s a different person from the beginning. Hope NormN will keep visiting, it would be great for them both. ❤❤❤
Yup very noticeable in this video. So much more just.. alive.
Agreed, this episode of Jim's house restoration was amazing! He's got a proper spring in his step 🙂
I am 80 taking care of my 90 year old husband. We have 2 ladies that help us and they bring the outside world into our house about 10 hours every week. It really make a difference in our lives.
Thank you for sharing Mary! Appreciate you watching and wishing you all the best
I am so glad to know that you have some contact with the outside world. My Mum is 85 and luckily has my brother for a carer. She has dementia now, but she is lucky to have carers and friendly neighbours. I wish you and your husband the very best and hope that you continue to have support and know that there are people that care.
Bless you, Mary.
My job involves transporting folks with learning disabilities, dementia etc. to and from day centres.
We always interact not only with the clients, but with their carers.
I wish you happiness and love. And am so so pleased you have those ladies to help you and your husband.
Keep smiling. Big hugs😊.
Jim reminds me so much of my 95 year old father who passed away last year. I love seeing him help out any way he can. Seeing him laugh and bring out all that food warms my heart. You are making him feel so good having him feel useful and giving him someone to talk to. He looks so much better every episode. That is a huge gift. Bless you all!
@@juliannaperry2827 I am sorry for your loss. Like you I love seeing Jim helping where he can. He's got a great spirit. I know that with the support of the community that addition will be constructed. Have a great day!
You should have 1M subscribers, there is no channel more deserving. The backbreaking work and generosity of heart changes lives and is amazing.
I don't understand why they don't have a Million Subscribers - this is absolutely the best CZcams channel.
The benefits of what you all are doing are far beyond the yard and home. The male companionship is life changing for this man. The act of getting out and moving with these men has a way of elevating the spirit and healing the mind and body. It is truly beautiful and a blessing to witness. ❤😊❤
Yes and it is also very kind of Jim to let us all see a little bit of his life and world. It can be quite difficult when a wife is very ill. My father had a similar issue in a way as my mother would not let anyone inside the house to repaint it so he had to wait until she was no longer with us and then have new windows, house painted inside etc (although very sadly in his case within 2 years he was struck with dementia... old age can be pretty nasty).
@@alinaCatwatcherit seems Norm has stayed in touch. These boys don’t drop and run. There will be other projects to move on to, but I reckon they’re not just helping their community but fixing things - they’re bringing it together too.
You guys are not just fixing things in your community. You’re fixing your community. Loneliness is real.
Well said!
Thank you so much for your help towards the next episode cannot wait to show you what we have in store. Have a great weekend 😊
The help that you have given Jim isn’t for his home, it’s been for his heart. 🙂🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, the gofundme is already at £37000! I'm so happy that we can all come together and help Ben & Co. do some good in the world ❤
EDIT: 13 hours later, it's now nearly £48000! How fabulous is that? Oh it hits me right in the feelz .
24 hrs after the start it's over 50k... the people who watch are so lovely. an amazing community online as well as close to home.
Just donated a small amount! The thought of Jim and Jean downstairs together, enjoying their garden, puts a huge smile on my face. Thank you for what you do Ben! 🌻
Every little helps, if everyone that views this donated a small amount we could smash this for Jim
Where do we donate?
@@allisonryder4781 , Ben left a link above. See his comment.
@allisonryder4781 there is a Go Fund Me link in the information box under the video 😊
The amount is already over half of what is needed! One next video and it will surely be enough :-). Sure there must be other nice purposes for their house and garden 🏡 with the surplus
It would be so nice if they can see a flowering garden again
This illustrates the two laws of home ownership:
1) Water is not your friend
2) You're not going to like what's behind the wall
Truer words were never spoken! 😂
😂 can attest!
Unfortunately there are so many Jim and jeans in the world, please if you have an elderly neighbor check on them, take care of them in any little way. One day sooner than you think, we will be them. So heart warming 🐨💗
When Jim started talking about throwing a little party, gotta be honest. Had tears in my eyes.
I so hope, after this is all over, that Jim and Norm and Peggy will continue to feature in update videos. We've grown so attached to them all, and they need the company for sure. They're family now. Thank you for helping them.
Jim's yard is HUGE - so glad to see his spirits being lifted as he feels safe to share his burdens with you and your team. We are designed to interconnect with one another - no one can do everything on their own. And I'm encouraged to think that Jim may be able to "putter" in the garden next spring with his wife on the deck watching/encouraging. You are prolonging their lives and drastically improving the quality/safety of their lives.
A B 😊 ~ 3,5oo m2 🏡 11,5oo ft 🇬🇧
This has been your best series of helping someone in need. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed or appreciated. Even yalls humor is wonderful. Cheers mate from USA!
Thank you so much for your help towards the next episode cannot wait to show you what we have in store. Have a great weekend 😊
The deck looks fantastic and lovely to see Jim relaxing with you all and having a chat. The elderly folk are very lonely and only need someone to care. You have made a genuine change in his morale. The idea for a bedroom/bathroom for Jean is wonderful. Look forward to the plans. ❤☀️
First 2 mins I was in tears. What a lovely bloke Jim is. What people don’t understand is the isolation when you look after someone. Thank you all for giving him a new lease of life ❤️❤️❤️
Same for me. 🤧
@@merryworld4776 And me
Ben, Dad & Colin - just wow. I bet Jim is flabbergasted every day, he is so humble & I’d say that Jim has got to be the most appreciative blessing you have done yet xxx Jim you are a true legend & Gent xxx
As a 70 year old female whose utility room floor is caving in and no money to fix it , I can honestly say that I know just how much Jim appreciates all of you and all of your hard work.
appeal to a local charity or habitat for humanity maybe they can help you fix it
Loved the part where all three of you wonderful guys are sat outside with Jim enjoying the sunshine.😊
I had no idea that Jim is also battling cancer on top of all of this...
Come on, guys, let's make sure he can devote the remainder of his life to being with Jean, instead of worrying about his house and garden. Get this GoFundMe going.
That horse was too funny with Jim trying to get it to turn around lol. I some how missed the introduction of Collin. He has been such a wonderful addition. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if a couple of more handy men volunteered on these projects😁. I can tell Jim has a new lease on life due to the efforts of you three men.
You guys are truly lovely, all that you have done for Jim and Jean is wonderful. The world is a better place with you and your team helping out. Xxx
The GoFundMe link is in the description under the video. ❤
@@grooviechickie can't believe it's at more than 40,000 already.
same here, it made me so sad.
You guys are truly special people. Thank you for looking after the elderly in your community. It’s the best feeling watching you guys .
You guys are doing the best work here for Jim. He is visibly aging backwards as his circumstances improve.
This is the best channel I have ever watched. I don’t hove money but I watch many times
The Big Build and Garden Rescue rolled into one! These lads work their cotton socks off and deserve some sort of local award surely? Big hearts, all of them.
they have ben nominated by several viewers for national and local awards. definitely worthy of all the praise they get.
I just have to add. Look at Jim’s garden guys. This was a family home. A family that worked hard. Paid taxes and spent money to make a special place for their children. Jim was clearly a guys who could build and make things and he did his part. His taxes supported others. Let’s support him back. So many of our elderly in the UK have given for decades and are now forced to sell their homes and use their har earned pensions to pay for care. It’s been said already but it’s worth repeating. Reach out to your Neighbors. Help them with odd jobs. They build this country and deserve more that we are giving.
💯💯💯 Even more so, they build the country back up after the 2nd world war!! There has been a lot of quik evolution and hard work that went into all that we have today!! The elderly went through the build up years, when hard times were a daily part of life for the majority!!
This! 💯💯
I wonder what happened to their children and why they could not help? Maybe health issues I don’t know. He says he has a granddaughter that lives close by.
@@partonbill77 I couldn't agree more! That generation was and is the backbone of Britain. Jim's Union Jack is a testament to his love of country, whatever his politics may be and he needs and deserves to have companionship. There is so much to be learned and cherished from our elders. Sadly, they are often overlooked in the hustle to make good in modern life.....
46k in 24hours on jims gofundme! Awesome work everyone who donated, unbelievable the amount of folks out there willing to help!!😮😮
Everyone that is helping and contributing their time, supplies, extremely hard work and support to help Jim and his wife Jean; God bless and thank you all so much!! You are all earthly angels! ❤
Dear FCS, dear Jim, it's a joy watching you. You're restoring my trust in people.. Bless you all. ❤
What a fabulous idea.
My mother in law was bed bound at home upstairs for 16 years, she’s now in a nursing home with a view of the garden.
I’m sure Jean would find it a transformation
Hearing Jim laugh...wonderful. Giving joy as well as everything else. Well done Flawless Cleaning. Inspiring work.
So encouraged by the “Go Fund Me” for Jim and Jean! Over $7000 in the first 4 hours!!! Donating from 🇨🇦
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Donating from Australia
Little donation from NY ❤️
🇨🇦
Texas 🤠
it's now over 70% done. 50k and climbing in 24 hrs.
Can’t believe how huge Jim’s garden is compared to his neighbors. What a massive job to maintain that.
Love. You. Guys. So. Much! You are a blessing to so many 💕🌸💕
Maybe it's time to change the name of this channel to Flawless Renovation Service. Amazing job!
Jim certainly appears the most appreciative even giving a present to the children. A lovely man. I hate to think how he will feel when these wonderful people move on from the site. He will be lost. So neighbours and his family need to step up and fill the gap a little. Bless you all.
Ben brought Norman over to meet Jim. I believe he will keep up with the friendships he has made. Theo and Arthur will have lots of great grand folks! Hope they turn out as nice as Dad Ben!
The more that gets done makes me both extremely HAPPY and sad. I'm so happy for Jim and the difference this is clearly making for him and his wife, but I am sad eventually it will be done and we wont be graced with Jim every week. He truly brings out the best of you all just as much as you bring out the younger version of him! Hope he joins you in your next adventure! This has been my favorite series!
I look forward to watching your videos. Since you have started to do these big projects, I have told you that the time you share with the owners is just as important as the job. Jim seems to be getting younger. He has stimulation that he hasn't had in years. Just like Norman, Jim is intelligent and has a wicked sense of humor. Please let Jim know we are all standing beside him and Jean. I am 72 and I am having my deck worked on. LOL I donated to the GFM. I want to see the addition. I want Jim and Jean to enjoy the garden. What a lovely place for Jean. Ben , you and your Father and everyone else that have helped are all so special. We can be a blessing or we can be a negative in this world. Thank you for what you do.
These guys are just incredible. Please pop on to THE PRIDE OF BRITAIN AWARDS and nominate them. I did it last week. It’s quick and easy and I think Ben and the gang absolutely deserve it. ❤️
I much prefer this style fix up versus the commercialized Ty Pennington, over the top, crap that was popular years ago. This feels like neighbors helping neighbors.
Ty started out small, I believe it was the media who wanted the pushed for the over the top stuff
I do believe Jim looks so much better. Being outdoors more and more active has done wonders for him. He even dresses better now! 😊
It's so good to see this. It is amazing to see that there are still people in this world who care for the elderly and are willing to help them. Bless.
These men are incredible human beings. I absolutely love watching them work together to help others. They are rock starts! Greetings from Vermont USA
If I had the property next door, I’d ask for a gate, so Jim could join our family easily when we were outside . ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jim seems so engaged and happy since you started his project! Keep up the great work! ❤
i adore his giggle when your dad came out of the trailer in the beginning. You're a good man, and your father is, too. Shine on, crazy diamond.
i'm not sure Jim could be any more adorable. What you're doing is *immense*, and life-changing. It's heartbreaking to know that there are more Jims and Jeans out there in similar situations. Bright blessings on all of you for your empathy, kindness and generosity. ✨💚
INCREDIBLE. Jim is already bonded and he will have withdrawal symptoms and miss all of you so much . Bless you as you bless others.
He needs to stay on as an overseer .
It's so nice to see Jim laughing! I hope Jean is full of happiness too
Jim I know being a full time caregiver is a lonely job of love. You are not alone you have the world’s support. What you all do is amazing and heroic!
The garden clearing and house maintenance are great,but nothing compared to how your work and presence have brought Jim to life. Respect to all the fellas and especially to Jim.
Each week you do even more to help Jim and Jean and amaze us all. Thank you for what you do and for including us.😊😊😊😊
Thank you for tuning in each week it’s much appreciated
@@FlawlessCleaningServices🇦🇺 donating and watching from Australia
That's a very big yard would not have believed with out watching thank everyone for for been ing so caring
Blessings to you and your family. Your generosity is rare these days.
You all are fantastic beautiful people! I'm in Indiana USA and we need people like you. God is blessing this family through you, and I am sure He will Bless each of you and your families. By the way as I watch your Dad he reminds me of my Dad. His build, dress, mannerisms, profession and how quiet he is. Thanks for sharing my Dad has been gone for 35 years. 😊
Proof that kindness on both parts counts massively in this world ❤
Hi Jim! So nice to hear you laugh. You're looking more healthy and animated. Ben and Co. are food for the soul - not only to those whom they help but also for those watching. ❤
Jim is going to miss you all when your all done. Keep in touch with Jim and keep us in touch as well. 👍⭐️
I don't know if Jim will ever see this, but I just want him to know how much respect I have for him. He takes care of his wife & is always thinking of her, he takes care of you lads making sure you have food, water, tea, etc., he gets out there with you & helps as much as he can......all while battling cancer. This man is a true hero in every sense of the word. God bless you all for helping him out. You are all beasts for getting this job done. Truly, angels in disguise. Much love & respect from East Texas 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 "Is that a Mars bar in your pocket?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The change in Jim is already so drastic compared to when we first met him, he now has a spring in his step again. Everyone who has contributed in this you are truly great human beings, thank you so much. You are not only helping Jim and Jean but as I read the comments you are lifting the spirits of the viewers.
Watching the adverts (without skipping any of them) is one thing I can do to help this wonderful channel. 🍀
Aww what a great guy Jim is, thank you so much for helping them. Jim please be assured we are all thinking of you and your wife ❤❤
My name is Fran Giroir my husband and I live in Houma, Louisiana way down in the bayous of Cajun land we watch you without fail I can't wait for your new post 😊 we love your dad and your lil family we also love the help you give your community you have blessed so many ppl I pray protection and many more blessings on you 🙏 all. P.S. Happy Belated birthday Jim🎉

I so much look forward to Fridays to watch you guys. Ben, Dad and Colin and ALL who help…. I’m SO sure that Jim and Jean are ever grateful. Bless you all. 🙏💕
This channel is what the world needs now! Community helping community! God bless everyone involved. Blessings from Central Pennsylvania, USA.
Thank you all for this help. I'm 69 and have battled 2 cancers in the last 5 years and won 🎉. I hope Jim all the best.
I'll be 69 in Nov, have also battled 2 separate cancers and so far I'm winning. My heart goes out to Jim and Jean and I'm also wishing them the best.
And you who posted wishing you good health.
Jim is the best ‘customer’ so far! He is so appreciative.
That's what I love too! Jim is so openly greatful and happy to express it.
It’s amazing that just watching videos can make such a difference for people all over the world.
Can't believe it just checked £50,000 in 2 days raised!!!!!! Thank goodness for the good in the world to prevail.
PHENOMENAL idea for Jean!!!!
What I love about channels like yours it shows that there is a positive side to social media.. So much damage has been done over the years or at least we are led to believe that but your channel restores all faith in human beings, Not only have you restored Jims garden and home but you have restored his spirit as well... Beautiful to watch.. Thank you for letting us come along with you on this journey.
Greetings from New Zealand, land of the All Blacks. It really thrills my wife and I when we see what you guys do. Watching your channel is one of the highlights of our week. God bless
Wow 40 grand already Amazing people in this community ❤
Horse costume, cracked pane, mars bars ! And so much work done !! Love Jim's laughter !! What an amazing plan you have for the conservatory ! ❤
"... another can of worms here." Pulling that vine is like peeling off a plaster that's been painted over 1000 times.
Yes, sometimes once you start more and more problems arise - hard to know when to leave well alone or interfere with that kind of issue.
You guys have brightened Jim and Jeans lives . Your work and compassion are an example to us all . We should all try to help each other more ❤
Thank you, Ben, and your teams, for saving these peoples lives. Having Norman pop in on Jim and Jean’s home just proves that you’re not only helping individuals. You’re helping give them back their community. Bless you all.
I didn't know what a horse box was. What a wonderful birthday surprise to see the "guest" hiding inside. Bravo!
Ben you never fail to amaze me. What you do for those in need is truly remarkable.
Building on so Jean can be downstairs and enjoy her garden again is one of the kindest jestures I've seen in a long time. Can't wait to see the finished product. You deserve so many blessings for what you do.
It’s a joy to donate from Minnesota USA. Enjoy every moment Jean and Jim. Thank you for sharing your journey with Flawless! 💗🦋
Everyone helping in Jim's yard deserves a big shout out . THANK YOU!!!!! You guys are just wonderful . You do so much for people. Kindness is rare, and I feel you guys are doing a fantastic job of showing it's still possible. And bless Jim for his humble acceptance of help and how he returns the kindness to the best of his ability ,with grace. Love❤
I'm convinced you'll go back to Jim's forever to get his good rolls 😂 you can see the amount of effort they've done in his garden like wow 😮 not many people would of stuck around this long to finish that much of the garden off. Hats off to these guys. Working hard 💪 garden looks absolutely amazing 👏 not only did they do the garden but the window and more 🤗🤗 you guys are a blessing x
Laughing is the best thing for Jim’s health.
It was so lovely to hear
Every week..you all continue to amaze me with the awesome job you are doing for Jim & Jean.
Thankyou Ben and Team ❤❤❤❤
This is simply incredible! The plants have not only consumed the garden, but are also destroying the house...🙄
Jim and Jean, sending you love and positivity from Berlin Germany 👍💖 You deserve Ben's actions to change your life.
I gave these nice gents a 👍!!! Did you?!?✌️
Absolutely, every episode.
Of course I did! Every episode gets a 👍🏼from me!❤
I did after your reminder, nice one my friend
At this point only half the viewers did even after the show was over
I would, no questions about it !
Manly men 💪🏻 It’s a pleasure watching all of you every week as you help this beautiful couple.
🤯 the sheer size of the yard, so much work! The three of you have made such an extraordinary difference 💖💖💖
I love what your “crew “ accomplishes for the people who cannot do the hard labor anymore. I love the cleanup and renewal of the homes. BUT what makes my heart sing is the smiles and laughter you bring back into their lives.
The lost art of pebble-dashing.
... and today's lesson is how to apply render 😁. Never knew the how before.
@@luannvondracek439
I live in New Mexico, it was quite interesting to see how different the houses are, we have a lot of stucco.
Jim is so grateful. All of you bring tears to my eyes.
