I went on a treasure hunt to find what was REALLY in our mysterious barn

  • Hi all 👋 As the weather is picking up now that it's March, I've been focusing on clearing more vegetable garden space. That has meant clearing more brambles and trees.
    Also, while planning what I'm going to fill my raised beds with using the Grow Veg planner, I've realised I need more space due to the different types of seedlings I've been growing.
    This part of the garden is shadier than we'd like, so this week, it made sense to remove the trees that have been growing in front of a secret barn that we reckon has been abandoned for 30 years, and see what's really in there.
    We've heard several stories from friends of the deceased and neighbours that there were gowns and expensive antiques inside, so we finally went on a treasure hunt to find the truth.
    Hope you enjoy!

    Hi I am a carpenters mum! I got given a green house the same as that which was going to be thrown away. I’ve removed the weakened broken glass, used pallets to strength the frame and placed around three sides to give it some wooden walls and used Clear & reinforced tarpaulin for the roof and the front where the door is. I’ve also made a window that opens opposite end to door to get some air flow in summer. Has only cost me the price of the tarpaulin from Amazon. Even though it has three wooden sides it’s lovely and light inside. I think you can salvage that one you have.

    With the size of your property I would be looking at investing in a petrol chipper, not hiring one. With the number of trees it will always be generating more wood that needs breaking down. 6" chippers are pretty expensive but I would imagine you could make use of those intact larger limbs to mark out borders. The smaller petrol chippers are much more affordable and would pay for themselves in a couple of sessions (compared to hiring). I would keep away from the mains powered ones because with petrol engined ones you would be able to move it around the land where you need them.
    The chippings you create make very good mulch for around stuff you want to keep.

    The smaller greenhouse. I would rob the glass where you can to fit in the bigger greenhouse. Old greenhouse glass can get brittle, and when trying to move it, you can have a high casualty rate! I would then cover the buckled frame with scaffolding netting to create a cage for brassicas or fruit. The netting will keep birds and butterflies off of your brassicas or soft fruit.
    The lorry back, would make a good store for either timber or garden equipment. It will be a big job to insulate it, and to get power to it for an office or workshop.

    With such a large project on RUclips, the first thing I would do is look for sponsorship from plant hire companies. You could easily expand this beyond plant hire. Plants and soil suppliers etc, etc. I'm sure it has crossed your minds, but maybe there are limiting factors that I'm unaware of? Such as reviewing equipment and services? As for your main garden area behind the house. I would reinstate a number of things, but go for hardy tropical planting as a whole. Something I'm very passionate about and have done for a number of years. Just suggestions, but I'll be watching with great interest, no matter your future decisions.

    I`m single and love potatoes. I purchased 12 large felt grow bags last year. Three different varieties kept me in potatoes until Feb this year. The deer in the forested area around me certainly come into my yard and will eat my other vegetables, shrubs and flowers. I find wild rabbits do more damage though. I would certainly recommend fencing off your raised beds.The rabbits were able to get into my meter high beds.

    Hi Vikkie, If you going to burn the brambles and branches mix the ash from the fire and mix it with your compost for your planters, the carbon in the ash will feed the soil. Years ago my Taid ( Welsh for grandad ) use to burn wood or branches any vegetation and mix it in soil for his veg patch. Great video Take care

    i would probably get rid of that lorry trailer, I think even as a building store it would be subject to the same fate, that is storage for stuff that's a bit to good to throw away right now, but of no immediate use or recoverable value, Its content will grow old and damp until it has declined in value and increased in annoyance to the point to which it is deemed suitable to be skipped.
    My advice get rid of the whole shooting match now and dont give it any more of your precious time. (bit negative, I know but it's the sort of magpie instinct you have to resist or go bonkers) The Nottingham street address is near where I live, its pre 1995 when the local dialing code changed

    Impressive progress you’ve made on the property! When I clear brambles, prune trees & other heavy landscaping, what works best for me is a corded reciprocating saw with a pruning blade (similar to the blade on the bow saw). That would easily handle most of what you’re cutting. Also, I have 2 one hundred foot power/extension cables, so I can use the saw anywhere on my property. Keep up the great work!

    I'd really really recommend you get the smallest sthil petrol chainsaw available. It's light, pretty cheap, and you'll be able to get through all that chopping in a fraction of the time! Don't waste your money on a battery chainsaw, it'll be ok for some light firewood chopping, but they're not up to much more than that. With all the wood, I'd delimb all the trunks (keep and stack anything more than a few cm) chuck the rest on a fire and cook some sausages while working!

The trunk about 45cm thick was left for my chainsaw certified neighbour and his very expensive chainsaw.

    Looking at the end aerial shot I wonder whether you should bite the bullet and scrap most of the old out buildings clear the space up properly and build some lovely post and beam structures with treated timber cladding. Also, maybe a decent size poly tunnel. I'm also wondering if your raised beds are deep enough for hugalkultur growing. It's a type of gardening I've never tried but any I've viewed look to be a lot deeper. 👍

    I'm loving your channel. As far as today's finds go... petrol... matches... run! Not worth the hassle. I'd remove all those outbuildings/lean too's and get a nicer view. You'll always be trying to fit your needs on to/in to something someone made in a different time, to a different spec. If you want a workshop I suspect many of your other outbuildings could be much better repurposed. Think how to get mains power and lighting to them and consider how far off the hard standing they are. Strip everything back, look at what you need (not what is there) and then work to your needs. If it's made from brick and concrete it stands a chance of a new life... corrugated steel or repurposed unit ... down it comes.

Buttons sometimes can be washed, and sometimes it takes boiling them to get them to lose the odors. So it depends what they’re made of. Unfortunately not the treasure you thought might be there.

    Great progress on the garden/ farm Vikkie! By the sounds of it, you need more beds for your seeds! lol I laugh as i always over seed and squeeze stuff in the garden to hubby's frustration! If there is space, i will plant there and call it a science experiment to see if it does well there, even after bending the gardening advice for it. Nothing ventured hey!
    I am a bit of a hoarder myself but i would bin anything with mice damage. Your question is whether it is worth your time to salvage anything of "antique" value for researchers, for little value in reward? This is clearly is from someone who had a haberdashery shop or had a mad hobby for it. They look like Easter hats or hats for a posh school to me. The headbands might of been the school colours thinking about it. This isn't a market stall kinda stash.
    - You could take photos for free collection of some of the dresses or even see if you have any clothing designer friends who might want them for fabric designs to replicate? It depends on how "posh" the clothes are and if you have the time. Waste tips usually take bagged fabrics to recycle.
    - Hats and head bands would need steam cleaning, if not damaged. Same with the rug? but bin that old carpet. You could clean that too for that little summer hut by the pond, if it flattens out ok at a push.
    Things to be more up beat about:
    - Is that a Le Cosset pot???! Wash, restore, keep and use! Looks in fair nick too from what i saw. Those iron pots are expensive and i recommend any person moving into a new home or getting married to get a good iron cooking pot on their wish list!
    - You can handwash the buttons and list them on Vinted or something, unless you know anyone in the antique button trade.
    - If the over locker sewing machine is working and you don't have one, you can use that for making bespoke curtains or pull curtains for open cupboards, using the fabric. Re the fabric, what did you have in mind for its use? I would definitely unroll it and wash it on hot. That cushinstep fabric might be for upholstering furniture, like under chairs, sofa, etc.? Looks way to thin to be underlay. Anything like silk or satin would be hard to deep clean but again time/money/value. Might be good fabric for workshop curtains? If the sewing machine is old style singer, i know they can sell for a bit. I hope that crochet blanket is ok?
    - Other things i noticed to be upcycled/ re vamped a lamp, mirror at the back? That cupboard and unit could be used as a temp tool storage
    - Those clothes rails will make great trellis! Speakers could be box shelves.
    Personally, i would store my non heavy garden tools in there for now. It's right by the veggie beds. Have you emptied out your paid for storage unit yet? If not, i would put in your notice of closure/ clear out and put the light weight DIY/ garden stuff in there, clear out the unit and put the heavy stuff in one of the brick barns, after clearing it out. Soft goods in the house. One less debit owed. It's good that energy prices are falling now. Too little to late for you now though. It's been mild in London but the bills have been huge and now they have changed the payment dates, so it looks like you paid the same for 6 months but for us, it was only a 3 month charge at the same price of 6 months this time! Crazy! I don't also believe in the 30% in price reduction for installing new meters, as prices are falling already. (Sorry for that rant!)
    You know i have been watching your channel for several years now and things i have only discovered today from looking at your page is that you have been on telly several times now, you have a second food channel and you got a book published? I always wondered how you spoke so confidently on your videos. Bravo Vikkie! 👋👋
    I rarely watch normal TV these days.
    So will you be donning a pirate outfit for the boat reveal?! lol Can you see the trailer tyres, if it is even on trailer!? If it is on one i would check the tyres first to see if you need to order some new ones to move it.
    As you can tell i am very excited for this new adventure you are both on! Definitely need to reach out to some sponsors and do a dual TV deal on your progress, so you can still upload here and make a TV series.
    Curiosity Inc has done that in Canada. He had an antique shop but then went viral for house clearing a property he bought from a late locally famous pottery person. After clearing the house, he renovated it back to the era it was mainly lived in, i think 50's style.
    He did another one and now he got a dual deal to still make YT videos as well as this TV series on hoarders. In the meantime, he started getting this new house built for him on some land he bought. He sold his house and then sold his shops to pay off his mortgage for the new place. He now does car renovations in his huge garage and sorts through antique finds in his new summer house at the other end of his garden. Cool Hey!

    Right don't throw away them old button's, pack them all in a box and take them to an antique dealer because some old buttons can be worth a lot, I have seen some sell for over £2000 for a set of six so you never know.

    I burn all my cuttings and then dowse the pile of charcoal until it's cool, to add to the gardens. Is it a good idea? Beats me. Not sure it's as nice as "biochar" but doesn't seem to do any harm and gets rid of the cuttings.

    Love these videos mate it's like a treasure hunt. For the raised beds if you haven't filled them up yet just put a plastic anti rodent/mole net. Trust me it's worth it. After one season I my vegetable garden I took the soil out and put the net in. I've learned the hard way 😅
