He Packed Up and LEFT Overnight to Take Care of His SICK Wife | OVERGROWN LAWN TRANSFORMATION

I decided to clean up this property for the neighborhood. After I got started I spoke to a man who claimed to be the Uncle of the man who owns the property. The man and his nephew both move here from Peru but the nephew had to move back to take care of his sick wife.
The Uncle lives a few blocks away and stopped to talk to me when he saw me doing the work. I told him I do this type of work for free, but he insisted on paying me. He gave me $100 at the end of the day. I told him I could not except the money but he insisted that if someone did work for him, especially a big job like this one, he needed to pay them for the work. I ended up accepting the money.
What do you guys think? Was it a good thing to accept the money or do you think I should have been more persistent about not taking payment? I hope you all enjoy the video and I'll see you next time!

It was a matter of pride for the man and accepting the money, the man felt he was still taking responsibility for caring for the property. ❤

I love that you cut off the dead palms from the trees. So many of these Lawn Care channels don't do that. What a difference it makes. Great job!!!
-
What a fantastic job you did here! Don't give that tip a second thought--you earned every penny of it!
-
If they insist of giving you a tip is because they acknowledge that you put in a lot of hard work and they are showing you there’re appreciation good job !!
-
Beautiful job on this lawn. You apparently took a lot of weight off this guys shoulders and he really appreciated the job you’ve done.
-
I’ve learned not to take away someone’s blessing. If someone wants to do something nice for you, let them. It’s like you mowing free, it makes you feel good to do it…that’s your blessing.
-
I think you did the right thing by accepting the money. The uncle clearly felt a responsibility so by accepting the cash you included him in looking after the place. Judging by what you did here, $100 is extremely good value!
-
I know you don't normally except money, but in THIS case, it seems appropriate. Just trimming those palm trees made the property look SO MUCH better. A nice home in a nice neighborhood, now looks like it should - beautiful work.

You're trimming the palm trees right now and I don't want to look away to make this comment. It is so satisfying to see you cut away all of the dead palm fronds! You did so much work on the ground, but trimming the trees took this transformation over the top. Your work ethic is amazing because you are willing to work through the torrential downpours and still stick around to trim the trees. My husband and I love your videos! You have given the residents a priceless gift.

Absolutely mind-boggling the amount of work you put into this yard. Honestly I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone on these shows put in as much raking and hauling and trimming as you did on this. So many of these channels nowadays have given up on the raking end and leave huge clumps of grass everywhere. You deserve to be very proud of the work that you did. And I agree that it's more than fine that you accepted the money from the gentleman. I too would feel some sense of relief to be able to at least give you something . Especially knowing how much that job would have cost on the open market! Just amazing.

Simply beautiful! Glad you accepted his offer. Never deny anyone a blessing ❤
-
I think you were right in accepting the money. In some cultures, you never receive without giving back. Accept the money with appreciation and then use it to support your efforts in helping others. Good job.
-
Absolutely accepting the gift of money was the right thing to do. He was appreciative and I think when someone does offer even tho your intentions are for free and YouTube posting it’s still the gracious thing to do. Some ppl of other countries may even think it’s offensive not to accept money. Raking the entire yrd and cutting a ton of fronds was the cherry on top. You’re always so complete and detailed. Love your channel. Oh and btw..90% of the time you work in the rain. What’s up with that lol. Hard worker you are 🇺🇸❤️

From the very first video of yours that I watched you have never let me down with the quality of your work and the clean up, you're top of the line and I watch a lot of lawn care videos. Keep up the good work and you'll go straight to the top.

Excellent job brother. Love the Channel and keep the videos coming! 👍✌️
-
I agree, with Cathy. You did a lovely job, all neet and tidy. Thank you God bless
-
Very neat and tidy! I love to watch when the trees have been trimmed ❤❤❤ Good Job!
-
Your work ethic and lawn skills are phenomenal! The world is a better place with you in it.

It’s a good things you accepted the payment. It’s a matter of pride. It made him feel good to pay you for the work you did. Gayle
