  • Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► / brosofdecay
    Check out our Canadian Friends Channel ► / unchartedtravel
    This journey is going to lead us deep into the frozen wastelands of Canada, the temperature during this exploration reached well below the freezing point. In this barren landscape far away from civilization the ward family used to live, it was a family of 3, Mister Ross, his wife Petra, and their loving daughter Diana. Mister Ross had a lifelong passion for clock making and the remains of his business are still present inside the house, he was a true craftsman and made numerous masterpieces from start to finish. Petra on the other hand was a housewife and cared for her family all her life. They were a postcard family, and it is to be seen throughout the house! It has been a long time since the house has been lived in, Diana her parents passed away around the turn of the millennium, and this left Diana alone who used to always live with her parents, after living here alone for around a decade her physical conditions was not well enough anymore to live in such a cold and remote part of Canada. At this point in time, she resides in a care home far away from the house and is unable to ever visit it again.
    All their memories are locked inside, acting like a portal that will give us a glips into their former lives.

We also had a beautiful stone fireplace my dad built.

    Those glass items your friend showed you.. those are called insulators. They capped the rods the wires were wrapped onto then stretched out to the next pole. LOL and the decade for the kitchen is early to mid 1980s... I grew up in a kitchen just like it The hanging miniature statue... that's a lamp!! An oil lamp. It would light up and oil would perpetually drip along the black strings around the statue. They were VERY polular in the late 1970 - 80s. LOL the carpet on the toilets... goodness... I laughed SO hard... those are simply lid covers . Made like carpet, yes, usually came in a 3-piece matching set. A cover for the tank lid, one for the seat lid and a rug that was cut to fit around the toilet base. For decoration. That vacuum cleaner is a Kuby, looks like a late 70s upright. I love the new filming style, showing each other, having fun. Awesome work Guys!

    The lamp @ 49:10 is an oil lamp. They were popular in the 1960s through 1970s. The woman is not in a cage -- those wires surrounding her dripped small droplets of oil that slowly rolled down into a reservoir at the bottom, then back up, again. They were also rather dangerous as they could catch on fire -- probably why they are no longer common. Also, the toilet seats have rugs/cushions on top because it was common for smokers to sit on the toilet and smoke, read, etc while not needing to use the toilet. PAM is a common vegetable oil spray that greases pans for cooking/baking. Its rather unhealthy compared to butter, but too many people still use it as its easer than greasing with butter.

    This is such a fun video, I enjoyed it so much! Lesley, you surprised and impressed my husband when you climbed up into the attic. He called it a "rat run" and said it was for easy access to wiring and other structural things, and he really enjoyed seeing the trusses and the way they were built, even though he was very disappointed that you didn't look closely to see if the builders had signed it or written something on the wood. I had to laugh at him, and I will tease him about it 😂Danny's reactions to everything are priceless. I just love how open you guys are. Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary about what was obviously a happy, warm little home. There were so many things I recognized, but what really stood out for me were the slides. My dad loved slides, he would get educational slide sets from the library in Rochester NY and every evening for a half hour before bedtime we would have a history lesson. You name it, we saw slides about it. Wonderful memories ❤️ thank you so much 😘😘

They have lifetime warranties, too, so....quite expensive, just like that Lincoln Continental (looks like a 2006 or newer) in the garage, but they're very high quality and will out-clean all other vacuums...it shampoos carpet, polishes floors, converts to a tank with a hose, etc., almost like a Transformer, lol. I used to be a Kirby sales/service technician, and they're still manufactured here in Ohio, but the new ones are very world class, almost robotic, they push and pull back by themselves; I have 3 myself. It is not unusual to see these vacuums still in daily use after 40+ years; they're damn near indestructible, built like a military tank. Great video, guys!

    Loved the video! You looked great in the sombrero. So glad Danny is with you. You guys are great together. As always your video was so wonderful. You said the date of 2001 that you found on the Pringles Chip can was so long ago.... I had to snicker, cuz I was born in 1948...2001 doesn't seem so long ago to me, ha ha. I go to your channel every day and I love it. The slides you found were awesome, I lost all of mine in a flood in 2015. So glad you guys are coming to my homeland, the U.S. Thank you for bringing smiles and happyness to me with all your videos! God bless you both!

    Love how 'Mrs. Ross" is such a good housekeeper. God bless her. Almost everything is spit spot, save that one storage room. Truly a time capsule. (And I bet that classic Kirby vacuum cleaner does work! My parents' is that old and still works better than my new one!)

    A little statue in the brass holder with the wires surrounding her wasn’t a prison, but I believe that when it was turned on it looked like there was rain or water swirling around her

      Oil came down the spindles. Very contemporary from the 80's. A little tacky for my taste but to each his own. Many of our neighbors had these hanging in their picture windows lit in the evening. The house is so 70's, 80's. I am familiar with their draperies, wall paper coverings. As our house was quite similar in those days. All stereo, and tv equipment was top quality. These people had a few bucks. Especially with the Lincoln Continental in the garage. Very impressive.

    Hi Leslie, the hanging lamp with the statue is called a rain lamp. They were popular in the 70s. Mineral oil was poured in the bottom and when on it would go to the top and come down the strings and glow like rain. They are rare today.

    The toilet set cover and accompanying toilet rug was all the rage at that time. Personally, they always seemed like pee catchers for my little brother. They also had matching covers that went over the actual part of the seat you sat on. Fortunately, not many people had those.

    • @tamarrajames3590
      @tamarrajames3590 2 года назад +1

      They also made padded seat covers, mostly because the seat could be cold in winter. I never liked those sets, because the fitted carpet in front of the toilet really WAS to catch pee, and the seat covers were very unsanitary…but it was a style, even the toilet paper and Kleenex matched the colour of the fixtures and mats back then.🖤🇨🇦

    I am really curious about what happened to the couple that lived in this house. It appears that they left quickly. Can you elaborate a bit more about the owners? You would think their daughter, or other family would have cleared this house out by auction or other means, and to put it on the market to sell. Someone has to be paying the taxes on this house. I would love to know more. Love your explorations and your commentary! You have made me laugh several times and also have peaked my curiousity on the many abandoned homes you feature.

    • @sheilamorrell6329
      @sheilamorrell6329 Год назад +2

      The parents died around 2000, the daughter lived there until about 10 years ago and now lives in a care home. She had hoped to visit her home but has not been able to. Sad. It is a happy house. It's not abandoned, people still care for it and these guys are entering illegally.

When the guys played the Christmas video it brought that house to life... It was my favorite abandoned house ever... I went back and watch that video many times... The guys who filmed there showed great respect for the clockmaker...God bless guys... Here's the video of anyone wants to see it ruclips.net/video/NNKrjW76oDY/видео.html

    Lol, my mother had one of those 'nude statue' oil lamps! It was filled with mineral oil, and when turned on the light bulb would illuminate 'the scene' and once warmed up the mineral oil would flow down the the angled plastic 'bars' and would give the appearance of rainfall. VERY late 70s early 1980s.

  • @graceedson1355
    @graceedson1355 4 месяца назад

    This home has the 70s styles. That was a Kirby vacume cleaner. Very expensive. The carpet on the toliet seat lids is mainly for decoration. You can close the lid and sit down on a soft lid to get dressed. I agree. It is sad to see so many memories from a family just abandoned. This family had money. Thanks for sharing ! ❤

    at around 49 min you point out the statue hanging... my grandparents had one of those and i absolutely loved it. when you turned it on oil would drip down the wires very slowly and eventually it looked like it was raining all around the statue. i remember they gave off a funky smell but they were so beautiful and I have not seen one since I was a child. thank you for sharing ❤

    Leslie…I was surprised when this video showed up in my notifications…and only a few minutes in I was laughing…love Danny he’s amusing…”it’s snowing it’s like snow but little snow”…best line I’ve ever heard…and you laying down in the snow to show Danny how to make the snow angels was priceless…I have to say this was one of my fav videos you’ve made
    …both Danny and you worked well together…and was having too much fun…I loved that.
    Kirby vacuums last forever I heard…and parts can be purchased for it…they’re expensive
    …the hanging lamp with statue would have oil dripping from the wires down to the base…the toilette with the carpet covers are decorative and use to be very popular…I loved the tinted plexiglass coat closet doors…haven’t seen one in a long time…and the clock under the glass dome is a Anniversary Mantle Clock…I don’t know if they still make them…I haven’t seen one in years.
    When you climbed into the attic space…I felt my anxiety kick in…I’m claustrophobic…I don’t know how you did it…but I survived watching you.
    TFS🙏🏽enjoyed this video so much and I hope Danny and you will explore more abandoned places together again.
    Until next time.

      I have generally seen less vandalism in Canadian abandoned properties than in the USA. Some have graffiti, but not so much gratuitous breaking of things and theft. In the cities you will find squatters, but that is everywhere. Out in the more rural areas no squatters or vandalism.🖤🇨🇦

    Hi Lesley, The "carpet" on the toilet lid, along with the floor mat, was typical in homes in the 70's. After a bath or shower you would sit on the toilet to dry off. With a wet tush, you would slide around on it, so the cover was there to keep you from moving, and also keep your tush warm. The mat would keep you from slipping on the smooth floor.
