There’s something mesmerizing about watching someone clean up a mess. Especially when it’s one of those YouTube videos where a guy shows up to tackle an overgrown lawn that’s completely swallowed up a property—trees sprouting through the driveway, weeds taller than the windows, sidewalks buried beneath layers of neglect. It starts as chaos. But then, […]
