This Driveway Catastrophe has been Neglected for Over 10 Years!

Описание: Sometimes after starting a job, I really question my sanity. This one is one of those jobs. I was speaking with the local postman a few jobs ago, and he recommended this yard and said it was well out of control and overgrown. Let me tell you, he wasn't wrong. Initially, when I went around to have a look, I passed on this job, and it went into the “too hard” basket! After a couple of more drives past, I decided to give it a try. I soon realise that I had made a terrible mistake. It was an absolute nightmare to complete. As you can see, it has years of growth over it - trees, blackberries, wood, rubbish, some type of vine, off cuts, a real disaster! I spoke to the neighbour, and he said that he had been there for 6 years and this section hadn't really been touched in any significant way. I thought that I could get it done in an episode, but Easter and the weather had something to say about that, so it will be completed in multiple parts. All up, this job took me around 8 hours to complete, including 3 trips to the landfill. This is episode 1 of 11.

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.

Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.

Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.

Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.

Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!

Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️

Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.

Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.

Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.

Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.

Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.
