Covering The Whole Pavement! Peggy's Garden Rescue Continues.. Ep2 

I'm sure they would've laughed. Or too busy with their own chores haha

Your Das is so fun !! Enjoy his antics. Keeps him young. And such a hard worker like you

Maravilloso trabajo el que realizan ustedes. El cambio es sencillamente abrumador. Una entrada completamente despejada para que Peggy pueda desplazarse. Saludos desde Valdivia al sur de Chile 🇨🇱

🤣🤣🤣

Ha Ha, yes He is a riot , 😊so funn

look at a lot of your local community groups / churches etc there is normally something happening. Of course you can still be isolated in a crowd of 20 if they dont share your interests , or values. Some will do telephone or email etc contact

It’s the best reason to move to a retirement community where you no longer need to worry about maintenance OR isolation.

@@kathrynwitte3398 I wouldnt move to such a place, too many old people for me

I was just thinking the same. She is all alone. It touches my heart to see them doing such a wonderful job and chatting with her along the way!

When I was younger we had a next door neighbour who was elderly and he was deaf and had severe arthritis in his hands and I used to love going next door to visit him and sit with him and have a chat, especially after his wife passed away. He would show me their wedding photos and photos of his children and grandchildren. Sometimes he would bang on the wall in his living room between the two semis and my little sister and my mum would call for me to go over to his house and it was usually to get him something from the shops or to open a tin of tuna. I would also go knocking on the doors of four other elderly neighbours on our block and stand at their front doors chatting with them for a good hour or two. Don’t ask me why, but I loved speaking to all of the retired people who lived close by. This was when I was between the ages of 8 through to 18. Life was better back then. Nowadays everyone spends their time in isolation on their computers and phones. My nephews hang out with their friends playing computer games together remotely, so they’re all in their own homes speaking to each other through their headphones. Their parents have banned them from being in their computers between certain hours of the day or they’d never see their own kids!😂 If you’re good with technology, a good way to combat isolation is to FaceTime or video chat through WhatsApp with somebody. I did that during Covid isolation and had breakfast and dinner with friends and family every day.

Great point

Going to be the icing on the cake!

Admirable thought, unfortunately in this insane world it would be infringing on their rights !

Bad idea. Most of them would rob her blind.

I would worry that they then know your situation and your location and might come back in other circumstances.

No in my house or garden. Guess depends on crime though.

Im not sure that the "Community Service" program still operates today, which is a shame (I may be wrong, and would like to be corrected if so). You are absolutely right that this should be a Community Service project. Years ago I was subject to a Community Service penalty, which I actually enjoyed participating in, doing jobs such as these, or working for local churches and charities. It gave me fresh focus and I continued to help others in need even after I has completed my Community Service Order. One thing I do remember is that the offender had "To Agree to perform unpaid labour", I suspect that many would no longer agree in todays world, or maybe it could be perceived as "Modern day slavery", but it does make one wonder.

That means a lot Lesley! I hope you have a great weekend

Ben ...it's all such well deserved praise!

I am also happy when Friday come around and I can see the progress you have made and the changes you are making. Marvellous that you affect peoples lives in such a good way. Well done to dad and Nick too.

Bravo Ben and team 👏👏👏

As I tradesman I really enjoy working for the elderly, there is a level of appreciation they have that just makes the job more rewarding

That’s why I always wish that these homeowners would take this opportunity and put the house on the market and downsize to an apartment,because who’s going to maintain it now?

I think they need a garden part at the Palace. OBE or KBE would be great for such fine folks.

Why was this neglected for so long? If you do a little bit every month and clean your foot path every week Is not going to get to unmanageable level .

​@@louisebb4183 A "little bit every week" can already be a lot for someone with health or mobility issues, then it only takes one holiday or a fortnight in bed or hospital due to an illness or something to get behind, then suddenly it's unmanageable. Not to mention there's the inside of the house to take care of too, and I imagine that takes precedence. People not showing understanding about how this can happen is exactly the reason why someone might feel shame about it and refuse to ask for help.

@@Hanaconda_Aquaponics Exactly so. He's basically just called her lazy, hasn't he?

Thanks Jonathan! I feel like we are only just getting started..

The entire world needs hearts such as these two. ✌️💖🙏🕊️🤜

Vedere Tu e il tuo papà aiutare persone in difficoltà a riappropriarsi della propria casa e del proprio giardino rende orgogliosi... Sapere che ancora esistono persone altruiste ci rende meno soli in questo mondo sempre più indifferente Vi stimo moltissimo e seguo con affetto i vostri video... Un caro saluto da Monza Italia😊😊😊😊

What a transformation! You guys work so hard , it’s inspiring ☀️

The world needs more people like them,

They visit Peggy every morning and afternoon on the walk to/from school. Peggy just lights up when she sees them, when you step back and realise the impact small acts have.. it’s incredible! Thank you for the kind words and watching!

@@FlawlessCleaningServices You are teaching your sons kindness to the elderly, and to neighbors in general. It all starts with a smile and a hello, and grows from there. Thank you for training your sons in caring for others. It is a precious gift, and will guide their outlook in life.

It can also be a bit of a shock, when you're used to being isolated behind the greenery, to suddenly have open spaces and pruned hedges. I think there's an adjustment period which is maybe why some of the recipients don't seem exuberant about it at first... they're still processing the change.

My thoughts exactly, all their privacy is gone with the hedges trimmed back that much.

Awesome job you both are doing. She seems so pleased! ♥️♥️👍👍

Thank you Ben And the rest of the gang .As an 84 year oldI I know what it’s like .when you can’t do the things you use to do . We try our best but everyone needs help sometimes . Love to you and your lovely family ,looking forward to to the next episode 🥰🥰🥰

Just a riot! He's great!

“Dad this week you are a wrestler” .. He just pops his mask on and his silly antics come out, I love he still has a childish side, so important to have a laugh

I thought exactly the same! 😮

I thought the same, surprised as to how big it was.

Thanks Julie! We are only just getting started

You can do it Annie, sometimes looking at the list looks daunting but just start with one thing on the list and the rest will follow. Have a cracking weekend

The trick I’ve learned is to write a list on one sheet of paper and then get another sheet and only write the first two items on it. That’s usually an achievable goal to start with. When they’re done, if I’ve got enough time I can add another one. If not that’s two marked off without feeling overwhelmed by a long list. Rinse and repeat!❤

Very kind of you Craig, thank you!

I imagine it feels like being trapped in the house.

I totally agree! These gents have their heart in the right place!

Honestly just appreciate each and every one of you! Just watching this video our online community is making such an impact. I hope you have a great weekend

I was thinking the same thing..! These need to be daily..!! LOL ❤❤❤❤❤

Would love to see at least 2 videos per week!!

Specially with the repairs along the way exciting times, oh and Jim's plot is even bigger!

Thank you so much! Cannot wait to transform the rest

Because the dog owner doesn’t want to step in it tomorrow!😵‍💫😖

Thank you for being apart of it! Grateful for each and everyone

Yes, they are wonderful. But funnily he’s really a pressure washer guy who started helping folks with a blessing! Also you could check out ‘Tim the lawnmower man’ and ‘Blademate’, two Australian guys who do similar work for the community for free.
