In my past years here in Sweden, I came across many overgrown properties. This one was special to me because it was just down the road from where I used to live, right in between two well-maintained places. The homeowners got older and moved to a nearby town. There are plenty of reasons why no one took care of this place, and I don't even want to get into that - it's none of my business.
I felt sorry for the place because the house is actually in really good condition, and the neighbors would surely appreciate having a nice-looking house next door.
In the video, you see one neighbor coming by (the one saying "very well"). He always comes to Swedish Lapland for the summer, driving here all the way from Italy (roughly 3000 km one way). He was so happy to see someone taking care of the place and later realized that it was me and a friend, with whom he has been out fishing a few times in the past :)
On day three, another lady came by for a nice chat and explained to us that she visited this property about two weeks prior to when we started cleaning things up. She was amazed by all the effort we put into this place and told us that she grew up only two houses up the street - she spent most of her childhood at the house we were working on.
I have to thank my friend Ben, who has helped me with this crazy job... I would not have been able to do this without him. Thanks again!!!
When I reached out to the owners of the property, I got to know that one of their younger family members is going to take over the house and she actually wants to move there. As if it was meant to be... Believe it or not, I did not know about that beforehand.

I got so much motivation from all the comments on my earlier videos, that I cannot stop thinking about new projects - if only there was more time for everything (sorry for letting people wait that long!).
Thank you all so much for being part of it!!!
