    I love how your wife is camera shy, but she’s beautiful. The camera loves her and we love to see your beautiful family.

    Regarding the Wonder Bread, many years ago National Geographic magazine had an article where a landfill/dump from the 1970s was excavated. A perfectly-preserved loaf of Wonder Bread was found. I always jokingly say "It's a 'wonder' that it's bread."

    What a treat to see Patrick again, and also Josh and Hans, who looks totally different without the beard. You are a good man Charlie Brown. Your family is awesome. Love the way Hannah just fits in.

    I am glad you help people instead of throwing everything away. I've been homeless and know how it feels to not have basic needs. It's our slow season at work so I've gone without and just started getting back on my feet from being homeless. Keep blessing people and God will continue to bless you.

    • @Cate7451
      @Cate7451 Год назад +21

      Wow, Amanda that’s really great. Congratulations. It’s been snowing here for days. I live some miles to the west of Alex so can’t imagine being homeless in this town. So keep on and we’d like to her how you are doing. It’s tough out there. 🏆🏆🏆

    • @loukatme2
      @loukatme2 Год назад +20

      @Cate7451 thank you so much. As much as I love the snow I work outside. I have worked outside when it's -4°F but i had to tell my boss i can't work when its that cold (i work with metal and cant wear gloves to do the work i do) and when I don't work I don't get paid, so I haven't been able to pay my bills much less get food most of the time, unfortunately. Its great when the weather is good but I didn't have money saved up since I was homeless not long before this job. I do appreciate having a place now, a job, and I was able to help some people before our slow season but I wasn't able to help as much as I wanted. Maybe once the weather is better and work picks up I can help more.

      A lady friend of mine once told me something wise. She said if you don't take care of yourself first then you're no good to the people and the animals that need you (I have some retired racehorses and a dog). She went on to say don't let yourself drown or you can't be of service to anyone. So i guess what she was saying is it's not selfish to provide for yourself first because you can continue to help others if you are provided for. Keep that in mind and best wishes going forward.

    This guy seems to have led a very active and interesting life. Lots of sports (kayaking, golfing, skateboarding, etc. etc. etc.), gaming, tons of vehicles, and mechanics❤. Definitely a man’s man. at 60 he died young, but I think he must have lived hard and led a full life.

    • @dianefuhrman5970
      @dianefuhrman5970 Год назад +19

    • @Carnage6X
      @Carnage6X Год назад +13

      I just think he had a younger son who moved away. Maybe went to live in another country for school or work. Half the stuff looks like it belongs to an older outdoorsman and the other half looks like it belongs to a teenager or twenty-something person. I'm guessing that's who the one relative who lives in another country is.

    Great series. It's wonderful that you turned the sadness of death and the burden of clearing the material possessions of a relatively young man (i'm 60) into generosity and aide to the Ukrainian families in need. Bravo Alex, Melissa, Hans, Lubov, Gregg and everyone else involved. This is a great example of how communities should work in our society.

    The specialty sockets in the beginning of your video (around the 7:40 mark) are weatherhead sockets. They are used to remove 90 degree fittings that are used in heavy equipment fuel and hydraulic systems and some other applications.

    Thank you, what an amazing series; honoring and respecting other human beings’ treasures after they have gone to heaven. Helping Ukrainian families, friends, family members with things they need, recycling everything possible. Yes, getting your money back as you work very hard and smart to get that place ready to sell. Of course keeping the things that you need or want to better your future projects. It was nice to seen your Mom, etc. Melissa, with her own full time job and the kids with their “job” school and girlfriend working together to accomplish the same goal. Wishing you the best with the auctions.

    Loving the way you’re repurposing so much of the contents of the house. If not for you then for your friends. Very little was wasted 😁

    as someone who keeps bread in the fridge cos I eat it too slowly, a year is still a crazy amount of time to have no mold. usually the bread I get keeps for about a month or two in the fridge.

    Good job, Alex et al. You are great Canadians. This series was awesome. Hearing that Softail turn over makes it all worth it. Godspeed to our people from Mariupol.

    Bless your heart for helping that family by clearing out their loved one's belongings. I got choked up quite a bit throughout this series, it was all so bittersweet really. And thank you for helping all the families from Ukraine! It's nice to see that one family's tragedy can be turned into something good for several other families. You and your family and your friends are truly amazing and wonderful people. What a great support system you have! Definitely something I wish I had.

    The tires,motor,wiring and car seat, could be for a sand-buggy build.
