This clean up made this owner so happy. Not only is the patio clean and beautiful again, it is much safer for her to enjoy the out doors. Cabin on the Hill C/O Dawn Hansen PO Box 231 Nashville Ar. 71852
Haven't watched but a minute of the video and wanted to comment that this isn't an old house...it looks very well kept. Something is mixing with the rain ....to cause concrete to do this. I've owned my current home for 22 years-the concrete was poured in the 1950's. The concrete sidewalks have been a very light gray, almost white until about five years ago. It seemed like overnight they were turning very dark. Now, they look black in places. I see these videos on YT and the concrete looks just like mine. I notice peoples roofs look covered in it as well. What is going on y'all? Had anyone else noticed this change?
I imagine it's soot from all the forest fires last year making its rounds in the airstreams and/or atmosphere, since it can stay up in the air for a very long time without coming down until conditions are right.
yup. That's why I bought the pressure washer and steam wash cause we are being bombarded and the more we leave it around our property, the deeper the damage.
The plants in the surroundings have a huge impact on that. If I wouldn´t pressure wash the concrete areas around our house, it would black as well after 3 years latest.
So good of y’all. Lots of us older folks put our wholeselves into our homes and kept them outstanding till we are not able to do the task and not financially able to hire someone. You did great work and a really good deed.
You have said it beautifully. It’s so hard to watch things slowly crumbling down around you and wishing you could still take care of it like you once did. 😢
That’s when I will sell and move! Everyone that I have talked to who sold for this reason said that they were so relieved to not be overwhelmed with worry or having to rely on others for their responsibilities. One wise elderly woman even said,”owning a home is a privilege,not a right!” Even when you have grown children with their own homes, they should help with storm damage or when their parents were temporary unable,but even they should not have to maintain two homes on an ongoing basis. It’s called seasons of life,let a younger family have all the joy and work now.😊
I was just driving out in a country road yesterday and I saw what could be a beautiful house but it is so overgrown and in need of a serious cleaning and I thought it was either what you were saying or my first thought was that it was a relative or something that took it over and doesn't take care of it anymore. But you could tell at one time someone took some serious pride in that lawn and house.
Same with those of us disabled younger folks 😉 Can't agree with you more. This is how REAL people help others. They don't just virtue signal to inflate their egos so they feel superior. Love this content too. My best to you 🐝
I’m a disabled single mom and watching this just makes my heart so happy! You literally cannot know the difference this makes because it’s not only an aesthetic of it, but having lost control of your yard or some other aspect of home maintenance, feels like you have lost control of your whole life (and in fact sometimes it feels that way). The shame involved with not being able to keep up with all the things even though we’re disabled or elderly; it’s deep and intense. When you do this in a way, with empathy and kindness and not making it about you and also not shaming the homeowner -it’s like a magic balm for the soul.
Such a beautiful and heartfelt comment you’ve shared here. You’re so right that many don’t understand the physical, mental and emotional strain that comes from living in a space you can’t maintain properly. Blessings
Feel ya. One of my neighbors redid his wife garden when her physical health declined Into a easily maintained a Stone and sand garden with very easy maintained plants and bushes together with a Cherry tree so she can still water and do easy things as it was her peace to garden.. a beautiful zen garden that was fitted for what she could do on Good Days. Can be hard when the body fails you and blocks you from doing what you has a buring passion for. So maybe a tip for you to making you feel bad if one you trust can redesign it for your needs and build up you

I’m a disabled Mom, too, but still married. Even with us, our standards have slowly eroded, until one day you look at the house and say ‘Who LIVES here!?!’. I make beautiful jewelry, but I can’t clean the house or do the gardening. At all (seriously, I have anaphylactic reactions to dust and pollen…). I wish I lived in a ‘village’ where I could trade services with others. The work required to sell my stuff, then use that income to hire someone is beyond my capacity. There must be a better way.
My parents bought a pressure washer in the 90s when I was a kid. I was so intrigued that I went over and did the elderly neighbours entire back patio, front porch, sidewalk. She was so thrilled.
I am 80, and my husband is 91, and we have a hard tim doing these things for ourselves. If these guys did this for us, we would kiss the bottom of their feet. I heard this preacher say that when you get to Heaven, all you get to keep, is what you gave away while here on earth. Can you imagine what their blessings will be? 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻💕
The heartshape your dad did with the last spot of durt was heartwarming. It summes up the work you do for free. ❤ I stumbled up on one of your channels and I'm now hooked on all of them. Thank you for making the world better.
This is what it's about helping the elders and people in our communities who have worked hard to have the few things they have. You guys are why I cut my neighbor's yard, now when I cut mine. She was paying someone and they would have to come back and do it right, after messing it up and her getting letters from the HOA. I started just doing it myself...... Keep being a blessing
@@tomkent4656 We thought the un-covered part was just black asphalt, not pale cement nearly matching the color of the covered patio. Very satisfying to watch.
16:42 It took me a second. These videos never fail to restore my faith in humanity. I can’t explain how I feel seeing how empathetic and selfless individuals can be. It’s sad that the reality of the matter is people like us, those who are mindful of others is simply not common anymore. I am a selfless individual and I live to see others happy. These videos achieve that and I applaud the effort y’all put into your work. No amount of material will amount to the satisfaction gained from seeing someone genuinely happy and appreciative of that hard work. Be proud of what y’all do because we see it and we appreciate it as well.
Great job fellas, I did a simular job for an older lady at her home. She was a widow, and she paid me with home baked goods. When she passed away there was not a dry eye and most of the town was present. This was 11 years ago and now the people look at me as a great helper with many diffrent jobs.
Really wish we had people like ya'll up here in New York. My grandmother's house used to be kept in such good condition and then as she got older she started being able to do less and less and I do what I can but I'm disabled and I can barely run the mower for 5 minutes before I have to use my inhaler. The only time the sidewalks get done is when the city is replacing them. Ya'll are a godsend to the people in your area, truly.
Hi Robert, I suffer from really high anxiety. I find that watching your videos lowers my blood pressure and calms my mind. I have a brain aneurysm and subsequently needed to have 3 surgery’s and a fourth😅 in the fall of 2024. Thank you for changing peoples lives with positivity, kindness, and faith. May God continue to watch over you and your family, ❤😇😊
You and son have the same enthusiastic voices. Can't tell your cut from the same cloth. Love to watch you guys work and help those who can't help themselves.
Ahhh...her voice...I can just imagine sitting down listening to her stories...and I bet her fried chicken is amazingly good too😋💕💕the patio looks amazing💕💕
A truly loving and caring power wash job for that young woman. She probably looks at it and thinks how bright and new it looks, and thankful for the blessing. Thank you Robert, and Kevin. The best Hansen family that blesses others from their ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏
Thank u 2 so much for giving people a reason to smile. We could all use that now the way things are going. Looks awesome and brings the homeowners a beautiful reminder that there are some people out there willing to go good things for people. Stay Safe ❤🙏❤🙏
For all the Crap that is on RU-vid and social media it's refreshing to see these types of videos! Not only are they incredibly satisfying to watch but also know there is good ppl out there like yourselves who put others before yourselves! Keep up the great work! God bless!
Such a lovely thing to do 🥰 I think people forget how slipperly those surfaces can get when they're covered in algae like that, my mum was scared to walk on hers when it's wet, so now I borrow a pressure washer and clean it every year for her. It's the little things that enable older people to still get out and enjoy their gardens ❤
Beautiful transformation. Her reaction is priceless. I can picture her going out more often now and enjoy her property once again. I truly feel peaceful when I watch your videos. I haven’t felt like this is a long time. Thank you.
Just joined yesterday. My dad was the preacher at the church of Christ in Louisville so I know right where Nashville is. Great job. It’s amazing how dirty yet clean looking concrete can get
It is so soothing to watch the cleaning with the wand instead of the machine. It might take longer with the wand, but me personally it is so enjoyable! 🌀💠🌀💠🌀💠🌀💠🌀
Good job guys all the way from France, just want to say very good thanks for helping elderly people also those in need, poor to keep their houses or properties, so they can stay longer in it, thanks for putting the smile on their face and life, job well done, keep up the good work Guys 5*****
BEAUTIFUL job guys!!!!! 💙👍😇 You are ANGELS 😇 in disguise to help the elderly like you do!!!! That's SO SWEET!!!! I hope liking & commenting helps a little!!! 💕 May GOD BLESS you all!!!!!! 💙🙏 I LOVE watching your channel!❤️
This is so wonderful to see these young men giving the elderly folk a small measure of their time to help here and there and it is pleasurable to watch, how efficient they are to clean this home that these seniors would of built with Pride and Joy while establishing their lovely home. Cheers guys
Love seeing the two of u knocking out these jobs... the world needs more great guys like u 2... sending love to u and the family... keep up the amazing work 😆
That really turned out great and the little lady was a sweetheart she really appreciated the work. You gentlemen are truly what the world needs more of thanks for spreading the love. God bless!!!
You guys are such a blessing... I bet after you left, the homeowner set out on her back porch and had a good heart wrenching cry. A blessed feeling type of cry. I know I would have. Thank you for helping her.
Like I mentioned in the live chat, "Nashville, the cleanest city in Arkansas! Thanks to Cabin on the Hill, Lawn Care Juggernaut, and SB Mowing!" Also, phrase of the day, "Knock it out!" 💙 Y'all! Have a blessed day!
WOW! I thought the black area was asphalt! Turned out looking right nice!!! Thank you for helping out our senior citizens ❤️ They really do appreciate it!
What a lovely thing do. Love the respect you shower to the older lady and the way you speak to her. A lesson to be learned for people on how to treat and talk to our older generations.
I’m pres of our very small condo assoc, bought a pressure washer for the grounds last year. Having fun cleaning up concrete patios and steps, and it does bring a smile to a neighbors face!
Always wanted to start a volunteer project that would provide yard services for the elderly available year round. So many have house pride but cannot keep it up themselves. Many have high standards for their property and it makes such a huge difference for them. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. Love from Oregon.
What an awesome job you two!!! Absolutely fabulous, and just loved hearing from the lady of the house...you let her express her appreciation and you could really see and hear how much it meant to her...🙏 She will sleep more soundly .🥰 And "you can't beat the price"..😅🤣😂🤣 Thank you ,you hard workers🎉
Honestly, the very least we the viewers could do for these guy is to subscribe to their channel. It is divine what they are doing here for free. I don’t understand how almost half a million have watched but only 43k subs. Let’s support these guys. I will even chip in some cash for their gas if they have a cashapp or something. My prayer is that God continues to bless y’all for what y’all do.
I think you two have hearts of gold to do this FOR FREE for this elderly lady! I am 67 yrs old, live by myself and could use good-hearted men like you but that's neither here, nor there, lol!
It's so nice to hear an elder referred to as "ma'am". I say ma'am and sir without fail. The elderly deserve it. They are living history and deserve to be treated with respect.
Awesome job guys!!! Very proud of your work. Please keep up the great generous, free work you are doing for your community. It's paying off!! Blessings to you!!
Wow, that patio job was absolutely stunning, re the transformation from black to an almost white (the outer part looked sandstone when dried). Considering how amazing her windows looked, and the hoise in general, the cement now certainly not only lools stunning, but you've increased the price of her house, too. Now I'm a recent newbie to you guys, and I've been saying with Kevin, Spencer, etc that we don't have black footpaths & cement in Australia. Now we put (unsealed) sandstone coloured pavers in the backyard, and side of house. Now I know I have some staining under my back verandah, because my back verandah's gutter need replacing. Basically, this house never had enough "downpipes" installed, front or back. I had extra out in front to stop water cascading over the front gutters. But, I've got double roofing out back (ie because of the verandah there), but 1 set of gutters, and 1 downpipe (ie I now have 3 downpipes out front, but only 1 roof), thus my back gutter situation is far worse, and it had continued to cascade, and the gutter's getting worse (has holes). I was going to replace it, but my mum got terminally ill, saved for her funeral, then she died 1.5yrs ago. (She lived in a granny flat in my backyard.) Anyway, I got out of my car the y'day from a medical appt (I don't go out very much at all re my own health problems). Suddenly, with "fresh eyes" (because of yours, Kevin's & Spencer's channels), I suddenly saw the dark shadow at my front of house, below where it used to cascade at front. Yikes! Admittedly, I now recall thinking the concrete around the house was dark when I bought this house 2 decades ago. And now, I'm seeing stains on the concrete in other places, too. With my own normal hose, I occasionally try to at least get the algae out of the cracks from under my back verandah. I did want to buy a water pressue machine (ie household one) with my back verandah issues, but now I think I need to pay someone to come clean mine... although I really should get my gutter fixed at the back, & add more downpipes, first. You guys have not only inspired me (despite failed health, musculoskeletal-wise) to push through the pain & do a task here & there, inside & outside, but you've opened my eyes that my concrete has stains in places, besides my 7.5yr old pavers needing algae cleaned off of them. Maybe it's because we had a wet summer (normally it's bone dry in my state in summer), and an usually wet & start to winter (although my state isn't copping the flood after flood after flood that the eastern states of Australia have been getting for about 6 months, now). I love all sorts of "before & after" jobs (& inspirational true stories). You guys have inspired me. I hurt myself further after my mum died, just cleaning out her granny flat for months. That set me back further - I wasn't expecting that. Plus, the grieving & sadness, too, has got me stuck in a rut. Your videos (ie from each of you, including garden clean-ups), are motivating me to get out of the rut I'm in. I can't do much, but I've just got to do something. There's always new tasks to do, reoccurring tasks, and tasks I've still not quite finished since Mum's death (I ran out of puff), ie sorting through my cupboards to absorb some of her things (ie the things I'm not keeping in her granny flat - I threw away heaps, and gave away heaps). I pay someone to do my lawns, so can't afford someone to do my housework, too. Anyway, you guys are really motivating me. And once I can get moving again a bit (although I'll never be the same), I'll keep going to see how God can use me to help others. Again, I'm limited in many ways (although now that my mum doesn't need me to fix her phone & tablet, my elderly neighbour is always having me work on keeping her phone - & now her husband's phone - fixed & updated). Still, it's channels like yours that help to motivate. I love Kevin's channel when he has positive talks on there. I always feel inspired, encouraged, uplifted & challenged, all at the same time. You guys are an inspiration & a blessing, to both viewer & recipients of your physical labour. God bless you guys. I respect you & your family, and the work you do to God's glory, and in His Name. From me in Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺
Good day to her and I hope always a good day to you guys. Great Job! Love to see more like this. Thanks for giving me sign to believe there is still kindness in this world...
It’s this that reminds me why we should love in villages. One person LOVES cleaning off concrete, the next loves cutting grass, the next could knit ALL DAY, someone else adores cooking... But when we live separately, we have to do a little bit of everything, including things we either hate or haven’t the capacity or skill to do, we either don’t do it or it makes us unhappy. I think it’s the cause of a lot of stress.
