I came across this house right on the main road so I pulled over and hopped out of my truck to check it out. The grass was getting crazy long and all the windows and doors were boarded up. I knocked on 5 different neighbors doors but got no answer, so I decided to go ahead and clean it up for the neighborhood. What really really sucked though is that I had to park my truck on a side street since it was on a main road. I’ve had equipment stolen in the past so once I got the driveway cleaned up, I parked my truck there so I could keep an eye on my equipment.

What’s the address? I could buy it and renovate it.
@SBMowing
No disrespect intended SB but if you want people to stay to the very end, do you really need three minutes of before and after video, when one would do.
Just pickup up 3 packs of the energy ones thank you Spenser 🙏🏽
@@wjf0nethis channel is for people who are not in a hurry. (I actually liked the whole before and after stills at the end)
My husband bought the hydration lemonade. I am sorry to say, but that was the worse tasting thing I have ever tasted. Sorry SB but it was baaad.
I just got home from work and sat down to decompress and a newscast from World News Now was on my Facebook page. The article was about you and the kindness you did for the cat you found. I have watched you a few times on CZcams and thought " How kind is Spencer for what he does". But now I know you must be an ANGEL sent here to not only help your fellow man but also our four legged friends as well!! I watched that article with tears in my eyes and promptly came over to CZcams to subscribe to your channel! Keep up the wonderful work you do! You have gained a new follower and fan here! GOD BLESS you
Oh, yes. I saw the one where he resued the cat. He's a good guy.
Welcome to the SB Community ❤
Working by a busy road you really need to get a safety vest. Get one with your logo on it. You need to keep yourself safe, so we can continue to watch your amazing yard transformations.
What a jungle of a yard, and what a transformation to be one of the better yard in the neighborhood. Great job on it.
You could sell them in your merch store!!!
In most European countries, high vis vests , traffic cones and warning signs are compulsory if you are working on roads. Safety first, Spencer!
@@knottyal2428 Same here in California...
Yes! A bright yellow/ green safety vest. I do always get concerned when I see cars zooming down the street when you are working at the curbs.😮
Yes!
I’ve just been reading through some of the comments….. a few things
1. If you don’t like what Spencer does, don’t watch
2. Spencer does this all for free, so he does as much as he can in a day.
3. Most of the time, Spencer tides up the empty lots, not for the landlords. But for the community.
4. Agreed that you should wear a safety vest, especially on busy roads.
And lastly, I love my Fridays! I get to wind down just before bed(as I am in the UK) watching the transformations of kind Spencer’s work. Thanks ❤❤
Totally agree with this comment❤
Agree. Spencer should wear a safety vest and a mask to filter out all the dirt and plant dust . Can you imagine what it does to his lungs? We care for you, Spencer!
@@valsblueforrest2961 I also tried wearing a mask and a dust mask, but to be honest, it was quite uncomfortable because I sweated a lot in the hot sun. The gardens Spencer cleans appear to be dusty, but the weather there is cooler than here."
Agree,, Spencer you should absolutely get a top of the line respirator and eye protection and wear it 100% of the time. Mold, fungus, bacteria, chemicals, fertilizers, just plain dust, wood fiber and poison plant particles all can cause very bad outcomes for your lungs. Find protections that are cool and comfortable to wear. My brother is a well regarded doctor. You might not notice it now, but in 10-20 years it will be an issue. Please also wear the protective vest as nails, rocks and more can really cause injury when they shoot out while mowing and edging. Finally I garden six days a week in my own yard. My Doctor gives me a Tetanus shot every 8 years instead of every 10 years just to be careful. Love to watch a pigs ears turn into a silk purse as my Dad used to say when finished a redo of a wreak of a house.
It's easiest to tell those who have some objections to Spencer's work, not to watch it if they don't like it. And he doesn't do anything for free. Each of these videos he charges well from Yt. If I'm not mistaken. As far as I can see, the criticism did not bear fruit since he made another video in which he did not rake the lawn. I advised him to rake the lawn. I won't follow him anymore. I followed him a little while ago, and now I stopped by to write something useful. Unlike all of you who only praise him.
Amazing how many of these cute little places are left abandoned and folks won't, don't, or can't take care of the yards. You are an amazing man to do this.
Sad theft is on the rise, God bless and protect you Spencer!
Actually, all crime is significantly lower. Don’t buy into the propaganda.
He is the 3rd lawn transformation guy who i heard had equipment stolen. sad
Spencer is the new Bob Ross of the current decade. I love watching your shows. Very relaxing.
I ALWAYS enjoy watching the transformation, from "ugly duckling to beautiful swan". Even though the city/township wasn't getting the job done. YOU always amaze me with the amount of time you put it. ❤. Great job SB
Spencer, I have asked you this so many times, and now I'm telling you:
WEAR A MASK.
You're young and healthy. Don't jeopardise your youthful health by continuing to work unprotected. Dust and plant spores will colonise your lungs and lead to pulmonary damage that will not only shorten your life but adversely affect the quality of your life.
You're a wonderful young man, doing splendid work. Please, PLEASE, wear a mask when you're working. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
I agree....it's very important.
Yeah Soil-borne diseases are no fun
A neighbor got Legionella from a bag of dirt he bought at the garden center.
No joke.
YES! 💯
We lost a friend to lung cancer WAY too soon. If not for yourself, please do it for your bride and little ones you may be blessed with in the future.
I have never worn a mask doing my own yard work and I’m 40 years old and in good health. Just stop.
@@WalMartScrewedMe “I haven’t had problems with not wearing a mask while doing yard work, therefore I, a single person, has more of a say in this than all the millions of people who have gotten affected by this stuff throughout all the years of humanity” - you
The tree in front of the porch is driving me crazy, but it looks like it would have needed some heavier equipment to take down. Regardless! Beautiful work yet again, and what a lot of work too! That house had to have been adorable once.
I just started watching,-- and I’m seeing and thinking the Exact same things!!! 😊
Al had a weed eater/trimmer stolen while he was moving the lawn. The thief was caught on camera. But I don't think he got it back. Be careful! You always make a great result. 👏👏👏👏👏⭐️💛⭐️💛⭐️💛⭐️
I remember that video :)
I saw that episode, too - people are UNBELIEVABLY bold to steal something right off a mans truck.
They all get robbed. I also saw the video where Al Blades had his weed Wacker stolen. I also saw a guy named "Mr. 2620" get a Weed Whacker stolen, as well. I believe Sean Stockman (aka Midlife Stockman) had a shovel stolen from his truck. He politely said that he must have "misplaced it". And Kevin Hansen (lawncare juggernaut/boring channel) just announced the other day that he's had thousands of dollars equipment stolen. This was after a female was just fishing/snooping around his trailer.
What a shame,looks like it could be a beautiful house under all that abandon
It is amazing that none of the neighbors would at least mow the yard to help the neighborhood a little better. Especially on a main street. We had a empty house next to us when we were kids. My dad would have us mow it when we mowed our yard. It's amazing to see how bad and quickly a yard can go to crap. You do an outstanding service to all these neighborhoods. Cheers! 🍺🍺
How many kids these days mow their own family's lawn? LOL. However, I don't live in an older neighborhood where abandoned houses seem to be more common.
I used to cut around the mailboxes out here for years no thank you, they didn't even try to keep it clean .. after I broke the weedeater for it's last time I quit doing it .. took a year and a half for someone else to cut it .. think about going to the mailbox and find a rattlesnake hanging out in the tall grass underneath it 😮
My lazy neighbor only cuts his yard after the city gives him a code violation 😢
Spencer, you truly are a remarkable person! I don’t know many people who enjoy yard work, but you, you do it for FREE, and seem to enjoy it. The transformations are amazing & I’m sure the neighbors are very happy that you do the this work. I am simply in awe of you!!! God bless you in abundance as you do this incredible work. ❤
Another greatly overgrown yard has been tidied up because of you, Spencer. Thank you for all that you do for your community.
This house looks like it was a cute little house at one time. Good job.
I always hope that somehow the property owner will be motivated to sell or rent - so the house can be a happy place, a home. Spencer Unearths the potential - thank you, Spencer
Someone loved this home at some point. That pretty curved awning is so lovely. I’m always left wondering what the place looked like new and about the excited new home owners. Thank you for the work you do. Appreciate you.
Wow, this property went completely feral.
What a lovely yard someone will have when it's eventually sold. Lots of garden potential!
I really enjoy watching your videos. I don’t fully understand why but they help me to relax and unplug from all of the chaos going on around us right now.
Me as well.. so relaxing
You just answered your question. It helps you relax. Same here.
It's the feal of accomplishment even though you just say there.
Same ❤
The neighbors will be confused when they'll see everything is cleaned up but no one lives there/moved there. Good job as always !
You do an amazing job of cleaning up lawns may God keep blessing you and your family thank you for everything you do
Spenser you are the most efficient lawn guy making these videos. You do more with 2 passes when you are edging or mowing than a lot of others do in 5 passes. That is why your videos are more relaxing to me than the others. The process maters more than the before and after shots to me.
You really mowed down a jungle. Keep safe working on busy streets. Great job!!
Omg Spencer, idk how you can work in that heat let alone in long sleeve. Omg I'd be passing out. Please be careful and stay hydrated. And please don't pass out. Take breaks/rest. Be careful. Love your videos.
Long sleeves protect from the sun and the bugs.
I'm pretty sure he does take breaks we just don't see it in the videos or how long he's there.
Spencer, great job cleaning up this yard. I know the neighbors are happy you cleaned up this neighborhood eyesore. God bless you Spencer, God bless Mrs. SB, God bless your Family's
I always think how much the neighbours must appreciate the work that you do.That was a fantastic job.
Live in this city/ town, please show these videos to your elected officials and then vote them out of office. SB Mowing, you are awesome, you do great work. 👍🏻
But where is this place ? I would like to move there...
Can the citizens of this city afford to do yardwork for other people that don't do it, or would they rather have the city use their taxes on road or school maintenance?
@@gonzalopn701 somewhere in Wichita, KS?
Even better, publicize the property owners' names. It's public information! Local tax assessor has it, often easily available online. The property OWNER is the one accountable. Can't wait for government to solve all our problems.
Some of these houses are foreclosures, so they are owned by a bank and have to have the taxes paid off.
I’m addicted to your videos. The world needs more people like you.
GOD bless you and your wife. Your truly AWESOME.
So sad that there are so many abandoned homes that just need a little fixing up and a good amount of yard space❤. You did a great job cleaning up 👏
@roseyrose9467 Spencer gave a weak effort on this property. Don't you wonder why he didn't cut the tree down right in front of the house? It's actually touching the house. Why didn't he trim the bush that's right in front of the house? And why would he leave that ugly overgrown tree that's right up against the front fence? he also could have cleaned up the side of the house more where there was no poison ivy.
I think Spencer is now just in it for the money. He just finds these abandoned homes that are depressing to look at and he gives a 75% effort. I think I'm gonna have to unsubscribe soon unless Spencer improves.
❤ I'm 57 years old slightly disabled but got tired of my landlord not doing the trimming in the edging around our home and so 2 years ago my youngest son is 30 then bought me h a r t set of blower and trimmer edging after he came home and found me on my knees cutting the edging around my sidewalks with a pair of scissors so I can absolutely appreciate all of this and the Lord will have a special place for you in heaven
Good for you to take action. The satisfying feeling of knowing you beautified your dwelling. I did the same thing when renting. I even put flower seeds in the bed. It was worth it. Keep on :)
Good Morning Spencer! You certainly found a ‘doozey’ this time! Please be careful as you continue doing this amazing work that you do in cleaning up these neglected and often times forgotten properties! Thank you for all you do! Wishing you and Mrs SB a wonderful day!💕
I have to say I really enjoy the mowing but really appreciate the other part of the job that is really hard. If I was near I would volunteer to pull security for you, you deserve it. SJ May the Lord always be with you.
We are talking night and day with your transformation.
Spencer, you need to add a pole hedge trimmer to your toolset. This would allow you to nip back the poison ivy without spreading the oils. I use approach this successfully on a weekly basis.
WOW! That backyard was a jungle!
Oh what an amazing transformation. I'm sure the neighbors really appreciate your hard work.
I'm impressed! Spencer, you've turned a yard that looked like a dump into a well maintained yard. I'm sure the entire community is thankful for the work you have done. I'm actually surprised that on your various jobs that you haven't had a lot of equipment stolen off of your truck. You are not always in the best of neighborhoods. I always worry about your cameras left unattended while you work, that someone would just walk up and steal your camera equipment. Be careful and stay safe! Great job...
Spencer, on a busy road such as this one, maybe you should set out some orange cones on the curb or grass just to catch drivers attention. Just a thought. Great job!!!
And an orange vest!
*"I'm sexy and I mow it."* - Great merch. 😂😎🤣😎
You’re the before and after King, Spencer. Thank you!!!
Oh no Spencer I always wondered about your equipment especially when you’re parked far 😢. This yard looks so great though after the uplift you gave it. Have an awesome weekend everyone and you have a great weekend with Ms SB Spencer!
That has been an adorable house. The neighbors must have been thrilled! What a job!
Thank you for all your hard work helping others in need. May God bless you and your family.
I really enjoyed watching this! That’s a great mower you have. Sad that the house is empty. Should be filled with family. Thanks for cleaning it up! That helps keeping the community safer and nicer!🥰
Well done, but your safety comes first. Be careful out there.
Great job. It came out great. I agree no poison ivy 😊 and smart idea parking the truck in the driveway. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a nice weekend
Good day everyone, I enjoyed watching your videos 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
That looks so much better. It really sad to see all of those houses empty. You did a really good job once again. Keep up the good work
From Syria with Love 💙🖤
Hi Spencer, keep up the good work. Just wanted to let you know been watching you now for quite awhile, in fact your the very first yard guy I every watched or knew that did this kind of stuff. May God bless you with a strong & induring body for this kind of work for as long as you both see fit to do it.
Great job! Thank u for giving ur time to benefit & help an area ❤😊
This would cost anything from $300-$600 in Melbourne Australia 😮😮😮
I'm really surprised that you can find so many of these nasty yards. If no one really appreciates your work locally, the good Lord appreciates your hard labor.👍👍
Such a nice looking house. Makes a person wonder why it was empty.
You just doubled the value of the real estate! That driveway, WOW. Tell the neighbors that their house is ten degrees cooler because of the increase in air movement. That is called a “breeze”, remember those?
Excellent honorable job as always. I was wondering if you could spray the poison ivy on the fence with something that would at least kill it so it’d be safer and easier to remove later on. And also keep it from getting bigger and spreading more.
It's just crazy how many houses you find that are abandoned !!!
Your mower is a beast!!
Spencer you truly do an amazing transformation to every yard that you tackle. I follow several but yours is my favorite. Be safe in all that you do. I always look forward to Fridays to see your new accomplishments. God bless you and your family!
You do fine work and I can imagine the number of folks who pass by in the days following one of your transformations and the thoughts of appreciation and speculation. “Is someone finally moving in?” I am glad this house is boarded up with squatters on the rise.
Another great transformation. You and Mrs. SB have a good and safe weekend.
I just love Friday's with SB Mowing. You are like the nicest guy I know. I also watch Midwest Magic Cleaning with Mack and he always mentions you and owns your shirt as I do. Hoping you both get together on a video.
How can so many abandoned homes stand empty for years while there is so much homelessness and poverty? Good job for making it look respectable anyway, Spencer!
Probate. It’s expensive and not a fast process. Avoid at all costs by planning ahead and doing all your legal paperwork while still healthy. In some places, it doesn’t require an attorney to file the paperwork.
Or other legal troubles. Disability leads to nursing home, costs eat up savings, house lost due to taxes or foreclosure. Many other circumstances can lead to this.
Vacant homes are usually foreclosures. Banks are notorious for wanting high dollar for homes that need tons of money to return to good shape. Plus interest rates are so high.
With 32 years experience I can promise you it was an FHA repo. They take forever to get put back on the market and then only by auction. Generally only Tealtors that spe iLize in them or VA are detailed enough to know when the au tions come up. Thus o e appears to me to be one that fell thro the cracks of the lender that repod it. I've bought 2 that the lender didn't even k ow they owned. Their execs were stunned and basically wanted then gone with a capital G. Wow. Good deals. Damn dumb realtors drive by that everyday and don't put in hard work to track down a way to buy it as it was pe nies on the dollar. Another reason I was a licensed pro for 32 years and a Realtor for about 5. The way it is now I'd love @sbmowing to follow up and see how long it takes to sell. Bet it's less than 90 days. If I still had clients that wanted to set up a portfolio...and the company was in a decent rental town I think I'd just follow them around!
@@mjmooney6530just do a Living Trust and Durable Health Assignment. Make sure you have a solid trustee on your trust AND a 2nd trustee if the first is unable to perform.
Have you tried to use Safety Cones while cleaning the edge of the busy streets? You may be surprised, they do work... 😊
Good idea!
Great job Spencer 💪👏👏 greetings from France 🇫🇷 ❤
I’ve seen some companies here in Texas that uses box truck to take their equipment around. I thought it was a clever idea. I know they are $$$ but maybe if you invested in a used one maybe it would help. Just an idea.
I love the work you do! Thanks for keeping yards clean!
I love the front porch. And the back yard as well. Great job
Your channel just makes me happy!
I am always riveted when I see these videos it is really a Godsend because when you got hit by a car and are middle aged it feels really bad when you can't do the outdoor work that you used to be able to do. I started mowing lawns when I was 9 and I got some movement back enough that all I can do is mow with an electric but I cannot weed eat. Thank you for making a difference towards people whom are feeling bad about themself because they can't do all the yard work or afford to pay you. You are a true blessing dude THANK YOU for the vacant places too
So sorry to hear that people are stealing from you when you are out helping your neighbors. A locking equipment truck would be nice but everything is so expensive. May you always be protected by angels as you do the good deeds you do.
Maybe get a dog or carry. I know some guys here carry while they are mowing.
That looks so much better! I appreciate so much that you do these abandoned houses. I live on a really pretty street and everyone takes care of their property except for the house right across the street from me of course. It once was a beautiful home.
Excellent job. Well done Spencer!
Thank you you are a blessing great job looks beautiful
Well done, as usual. Keep doing the good work. I think it’s ok to take the precautions you think are necessary. God bless you.
I look forward to weekly. Thank you for charity work.
One of your better transformation efforts. Be safe👍👍👍
You did a perfect job 👍👍👍👍👍🤗😁💜💜💜
I really enjoy watching your videos.Thank you for all you do. ❤❤
WOW Spencer, that yard was a lot bigger then I expected! What a difference you make in the neighborhoods, but don’t put yourself in danger. If you feel the hair on your neck standing up it’s time to change your plans. Loved the kitty shelter too!❤❤❤
Good one to get cleaned up. You stay safe
Great job Spencer it looks 💯 percent better.😊
Great job Spencer.
Happy Friday Spencer. Be Blessed and stay safe ❤️🙏🏽
Nice work! I’m new to your channel and watched some of your videos. I hope your work will help getting these vacant homes to a new owner who can take care of them.
Keep it going!
Please Stay Safe! Risking Your Life Is Definitely Not Woth It! But Thank You Soo Much For Being Willing 2 Help Wherever You Can! ..God Bless You!😊❤
looks great Spencer!
🏚️🌱✂️🏠
So good to see you again hope you and Mrs SB did having a good week😊😊😊❤❤
Absolutely beautiful! Good job, Spencer!
I can relate: our street is just "main" enough to have a lot of traffic but just "side" enough to be residential, and zero clearance to do any real edging at the street. Be safe, dear.
Looks great. God bless you ❤🙏
Hey Spencer, great job on the transformation!! I love watching your videos right before I mow my own lawn. I just want to caution you about removing “Tree of Heaven”. You were standing right next to one while filming your ad break. It’s an invasive tree with lanceolate leaflets and the leaflets have little thumbs at the base. When you break them they smell like burnt peanut butter. The sap can cause a rash and enough of the sap can cause your heart to stop. Please wear protection! I know last week you had holes in your gloves.
What a cute house and property!
Awesome job @SBMowing & really want your merch
Safety first kevin got things stolen from his truck amazing work
Spencer, great work cleaning that property up. It makes me sad to see so many abandoned homes when there are so many homeless families all over the United States. It is such a waste to have these places empty and overgrown. May God Bless you and your family for all you do to help the community out.
Many homeless can not take care of a house thus they are homeless.
Unfortunately this place is probably uninhabitable. If it’s been empty long enough for the yard to get 3 feet tall, it’s no doubt either been gutted right down to the interior doors and floor boards, or vandalized. Plus there’s probably all kinds of critters and poop in there. If it’s a nice enough lot, and someone did buy it. They’d probably bulldoze it.
Awesome job on this yard!! I'm sure the neighbors were very happy. Now that you can see the house maybe someone will buy it to help the neighborhood. Keep up the great work!!
Love those drone shots! So sad there are people out there who are so desperate they'll steal or harm others😢 Glad you figured a way to protect yourself & your equipment.
Not every thief is desperate. They are just a thief!
Everytime I'm watching your videos & a phone call interrupts me when I go back your video is gone & I have to watch it all over again 😔
Why not just pause the video when your phone rings? Then go back and watch. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the good work
Looking good 👍
Thanks, Spencer! Beautiful transformation.❤
Your vibe is infectious, love watching your content!
