can you imagine the rambling stories of grandpa connor in his old age? his future grandkids are in for a treat

Buying a brand new snow blower seems like the right choice in that situation. #hindsight

I’d like to see another video that shows just how many projects you’ve started but haven’t finished. My wife seems to think I’m the only one who doesn’t finish projects. Of course if I show her this video she’ll say I wasted 18 minutes watching this instead of installing another door knob.

Lesson from a machine operator 🇦🇺 next time u get stuck put the bucket in the dump position lower the arms down to the ground and push the machine back with the bucket crowding back to normal position while reversing

Like Sands Through the Hourglass, these are the Days of Our Lives.

You are an absolute maniac Mr Ward 😂. Think twice the next time before you go to the rental shop! (Really appreciate your content and how determined you are with projects!)

Awesome video man....i have had many moments myself when frustration has gotten the best of me. It happens...thanks for all the content that keeps me sane through this mess thats going on right now

One reason I like to watch this channel is because of how you keep it real. Life does happen and you have a great attitude. You did the best you could and of course it was one thing after another. Dont blame yea but hang in there!

Thanks, Connor! It's why I like your channel - hard work and honesty.

Life always throws curve balls at us Bro. Ward, its what we do with it that makes us stronger! GET AFTER IT and all will be well.

Aww man, I know exactly how that feels. I know you'll get everything dealt with. I am glad you show us things like this.

Hey man, sorry for all that mess. It’s run of bad luck. I’ve had times like that too. Good on you for fessing up to the bad times. Keep the great videos coming. I enjoy them a lot. Your place will be looking great again soon!

Appreciate you showing what really happened. Makes me want to come back and keep watching more! 🔥

Hilarious story Connor, we have all been there. You know there is an easy solution, move south. The other thing you might consider is a fence or line of shrubs to keep the snow from blowing on to the driveway.

Thank you Connor for the video. Most of the time is good to spend the money and get the tool you need and hire the professionals to get the job done. Good lesson learned!

Sorry to hear about that day. I hope that spring treats you better 🙂

Thanks for showing us how my life goes pretty much everyday instead of the illusion that everything goes perfect all of the time

As we say in the South, "Bless your heart."

I came for the story, but I stayed for the t-shirt.

As always, thank you for keeping it real! It does help to see that not everything goes perfectly as planned. Then i start a project and yes it may turn out great, but all the issues i run into getting to the end. I'm always thinking how does everything go so smoothly for those guys! #KeepUpTheBestHowToChannel

The money you used to rent the skid steer would have bought a nice snowblower.

Agree buddy, the Lawn doesn’t always look good and there is more work than we can ever get done. Gotta show the process 👍🏼

Wow! Thanks for sharing . My anxiety was high the entire time. I’m sure everything will back to normal sooner than later.

Connor you had me imagining a real fit :) You are so laid back that even your fits of rage are calm. I would have been replacing the house if it were me :) Thanks for sharing and keeping it real.

The problem seems to be those damn Cottonwood trees again, if they were never there, you would have never had to cut them down. If you didn't cut them down, the logs wouldn't be lying on your porch. If they were not on the porch, the skid steer wouldn't have gotten stuck. That was the root of the frustration. Stupid Cottonwood trees!!

I think we can all relate in our own way, we all have our moments.. Enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing.

This is real life. Thank you for sharing this very relatable story.

Thank you for being vulnerable. We have all been there

New subscriber here. Very informative and entertaining channel. Connor intuitively knows to edit different shots/perspectives when telling a story, which makes it more interesting to watch. Nice job!

Thanks for keeping it real Connor. Always look forward to your content.

Don't be too hard on your self you call your the LAWN REBEL 😎

"This is not a 'how to' channel...... it's a 'how not to' channel." XD

This was great! It was like a cross between Inception and Deadpool.

For better for worse, thank you for sharing this with us Connor,

One of the best videos you have had! Came at your expense but what a story! Great edits! Made me laugh sounds like me when I get into a project!

Thank you for reminding me why I moved to South Carolina- just put a snow shovel in back of truck and drove ‘til someone asked “what kind of shovel is that?” Home at last 😃

It is nice to see a real world scenario. Thanks for sharing the story.

So open and honest. Thank you. I thought I was the only one with a little rage! It’s amazing how one thing sets off a chain of events. Pile all that wood in the back and burn it. Oh, and get a decent snow blower brother. You have all the toys, considering where you live go buy one on sale Now! Keep up the good work & content.

I know the feeling, sometimes everything is against you, just suck it up and make it better, Great video Connor. 🤘😎

The number of things that would have been non-starters had you just had a working snow blower is a testimonial on keeping the equipment running and in good shape *before* you need it. Thanks for the comedy of errors, Connor. Something you gotta look back on and laugh.

After watching this it seems to me that it would have been cheaper to spend the money on the replacement snow blower part in the first place then the hiring of the skid steer, having to fix all the damage and the ruts not including the time it will take to fix all that. Been there brother... Feel your pain. Love the videos... Greetings from Ireland

Seems a lot like a "how to" channel to me....I am hearing LIES from you like usual. This however, is a FANTASTIC story

Un-Real Story! But, I have had those days for sure. I like the show everything vid route. It brings your viewers more into your REAL life (No Hiding the Bad). Great Vid Connor and very well edited. Chad Upstate NY

Most of us have probably tried to save a dollar and ended up costing ourselves 10 times that. Thanks for sharing your foibles with us.

Nice video. Classic case of hind sight is 20/20. Thanks for sharing the thing's that don't go according to planned as well, we are all Human. Looking forward to the next one.

You’re not alone sir! A constant S show here too. Lol!!! Family first!

This is how you turn a $250 problem into a $2500 problem. Some days are better than others. Better days are ahead brother.

You Sir, are a beast, a machine and a relentless individual. A REBEL indeed! Stay safe out there.

Look at the bright side. With the ruts you put in the lawn with the skid-steer you can hardly see where the bicycle and cows went through the lawn.

Stars definitely weren't aligned for you that day. But good for you for keeping a good attitude about all of it. It's easy to lose sight that in the end things like this are just the way it goes sometimes and we just have to work through it. Proud of you Connor! Keep up keepin up!

14:09 I felt this in my soul, thanks for shining light into the joys of property ownership 🤣

Awesome. Love the realism.

Oh I'm guilty of this sort of destruction from time to time too... And it ALWAYS starts with something I need being broken. If I can't fix it for whatever reason I start getting hasty and reckless!

Probably one of your best videos to date... Was it your birthday live stream where you said... "this channel was meant to be about what I get up to in life and just happened to become a lawn channel because that's what I like doing, but I plan on bringing you more content from day to day life" THIS IS IT!! this is so relatable, it's not leeches and cream, we all strive for peaches and cream and we all fall short at times but what's better than having somebody to inspire us is somebody to comfort and reassure us that its same for all of us... What a well edited video too, very quick, sharp, professional and fun... it's not doom and gloom coronavirus news its normality depicted in a specific and vivid way... I'm relatively new to subscribing to people, but this is one of if not the best I follow now... it's like checking in on a mate, watching him play golf, take the kids to the jeti dips... it's as "addictive" as watching old school soap TV, I genuinely want to see what's happening in the main characters life... this channel and Connor in particular demonstrate what youtube can be...

I have often thought the children’s book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” was the story of my life, seems like you might be able to- Whoa! Did you see that vole?!

Sometimes I like to come back to this when I "think" im having a rough day. Thanks Mr. Ward.

16:42 Thank you for acknowledging that! ❤️ I don't Facebook, tweet, insta.... nothing. Real life is not the "highlight reel" people put out on display. So many people try to live up to that projection and it's not obtainable because real life has highs and lows. It's what builds real character. Stay as classy as your 'stache 😎

Can’t believe I missed this video. Man, when you said I am going to go get the jack, my first thought was you were going to say F it and go drink. Lol.

Love it man! I’m the same way. Time seems to get away from ya with several projects going on. I don’t know about you but I seem to start one and something else pops into my head and then I’m working on 7 things at once. Not enough hours in the day!

Lesson learned hopefully, just get yourself a new snowblower and save yourself the aggravation. Nice to see a #RealLife video also 👍🏻

Ironically, Ryan posted a video of himself having an amazing day in the lawn !! Striping like a boss

This was hilarious! I could picture it all in my head as you described and had pictures. What camera system is that on your house? It’s great quality. Thanks for sharing, it was a good laugh.

Good video...very good job on the editing. Thanks for sharing

Great video. You're right not to many videos out there that are just like what you said real life. Everything is not roses (Dahlias in your case) in real life. Great work on the shed!

There’s no such thing as perfect we all have those days! We just keep it moving until it’s back to our idea of “perfection” Thanks for keeping it reels 😂😷😂

Glad to see others have days like this. Like the time I ran a sprinkler wire about 300 feet across my lawn then realized I cut a wire for another zone somewhere in that 300 feet so I went back and dug it all back up. It was about 98 degrees and finished at 11pm..............

You break more than you fix, 2 steps forward 8 steps backwards. Love your channel for the information and the comedy relief.

I like seeing the bad, because then you can appreciate how good it is when it looks nice!

Hahahaha, great video man. Sorry about all the crap that happened but I appreciate seeing the dark side of things, which is rare online. Thanks again.

"Marty, we have to back and fix the snowblower or bad things are going to happen!"

😂 your the best dude!!! So funny without even trying man!! Should’ve just bought a new blower straight up💯. 🤦‍♂️😂

This video makes me laugh every time I watch it just because I’ve been in that situation so many times haha

Connor the destroyer. LOL!

Hey Conner just happen to see a video from 8 months ago when you using the riding reel master. Make sure that back tire is aired up because if it's riding low it will leave a bigger indent in the grass. Aired up not as bad. Love your lawn!!

Wow man what a story! All of that must of been frustrating what a though winter 🥶

Sorry you had a bad time with all this. Yes your right in the big scheme of things this is not bad and it is all fixable. Thanks for sharing I was kinda thinking we may have never heard this story because the two prior vids you only talked about it a little.

Would love to have so much snow on my lawn 😀 love the mountain view

It happens. The trick for me to make sure the outside is clean in October before the snow. It's a pain but after damaging a snow blower, it's worth it

Way more to this story than I was expecting when you mentioned it the other day.

Loved the spontaneous reasoning that led one event to the next . Looking forward to this winters snow removal . Any new plans ? What did it cost to rent the skidsteer ? And I'm sure no Voles were injured . Kappa

a new drinking game, take a shot every time you say "skid steer" #movetoflorida

Long story short. I used to own a $1000.00 2” ratchet strap. Great story Conner. My wife wished she could get me to do half the stuff you do a home. 👍🏻

Great story telling. Sounds like a triple whammy. Sorry you had to go through all of that!

Some days its just not worth getting out of bed ya know those days that cost you more then it was worth.

“It’s not all 🍑 and cream” - from my perspective it appears your projects usually work out really well. And you created a reason to create several lawn repair videos!

Great video. Real content

Squirrel moments all throughout this story.

Great looking yard . You need to look into a Ventrac machine every tool you have for your lawn there’s a attachment for and it does snow as well with a blower or even a plow. Look into it . Keep up the great videos

A tree service just tore up my backyard with a skid steer a few weeks ago. The ruts were a foot deep. In addition to the lawn damage I also had to repair some buried drainage pipe that was damaged. #reallife

Amazing sequence of events😂😂😂😂 especially breaking 2 sprinklers.......just figures that a sprinkler gets broken which means another 30 minutes per. But seriously awesome choice of tee shirt for telling the story 😎

HOLY OCD!! Your yard is like a curly mullet: All business up front, chaos outback! Two words for blowing snow: SNOW FENCE

lol....holy cow. we've all had situations like this, conner. thanks a bunch for being human..lol

This man is a national treasure and he should be treated and protected as such.

I have that exact same single stage blower.... Mine is going to the trash in a few weeks. Handle has been replaced with a nicely bent piece of 3/4" EMT, rubber scrapers are torn up and the plastic side plates are worn through.!!

Those cotton wood trees are ferocious. Even when they are chopped up to pieces they still damage your lawn. That's a real pisser.

hahah, iv done that too. I used a nut and bolt then hit a chunk of asphalt cost me a good chunk of change when the shear pins would have just snapped. now I use a (stronger than shear pin) but soft metal bolt that still snaps but can take a good hit!!

I also got a skid steer stuck in my back yard after doin a reno on my front yard, before fall, in the mud for probably 3 hours, jacking up and putting boards under, I KNOW your pain brother

What a pain. Keep up the awesome videos!

Thanks Dude! I thought that kind of stuff only happened to me.

We all have bad days from time to time. All that is repairable but not sure about the grill lid you did a number on that. Bondo might work!😀😀
