- This building was the former buster brown shoe factory in Charleston Illinois. But it has been used as storage for decades and decades. We are cleaning up and this old building never fails to surprise. From old plumbing and electrical supplies, collectibles, advertising, the list goes on and on.
If you would like to contact me please send an email to

That old wallpaper is AWESOME! I just love how excited you get and the potential you see in things.
That green wallpaper is awesome, it reminds me of the Egyptian Revival era of the earlier 1900's
Hey,...that is a good call!.......definitely an ART DECO inspired design. Hard to know if it is that old. Like from the 1920s & 1930s. Could have been a revival design. I worked as a screen printer, in the 1970s and we made custom wall paper. Some by hand,...for very wealthy people. Most was mass produced, on screen printing machines, from huge rolls of paper.
As I watch this I wish I could be there to help you clean up and organize because the amount of things that others may think is junk actually has value!
Yeah I'm trying to walk that line, mostly if I'm not sure, it goes in the auction pile.
I agree.
@@coldwarmercantile I do hope you have another pair of eyes helping in all of this, they say four eyes are better than two!
Lol me too!
...and education...your son's generation will honour this and benefit.
Those light covers make great planters 🤗
I’m hooked. I saw this posted and wrenched a finger hitting play. Awesome video!
Cool! Thanks!
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!!!
I will never complain about cleaning my garage again.
Those Fram oil filters are also collectable; my mom worked in the factory in Greenville Ohio for 43 years.
Wow! It seems like a 1960s Valhalla for old ... everything.😄
Some old school house renovator would probably love to get their hands on that old wallpaper stock.
My background in interior design, and the fact that you have rolls of wallpaper, leads me to believe "the Felt" & "the Canvas", are also wall coverings. I worked in an art gallery for a few years and we would build movable walls to display framed art on. The walls were plywood, and we glued down fabric to cover them. Canvas can be used to make drop cloths, too. But I don't think it was used for that. Rich people would glue felt to their walls in their billiard rooms. And on their ceilings, to make a room feel warm & look luxurious.
Never thought about that. The felt is wool based so it is the good old stuff!
I wish I could be there!
That door with the ledge reminds me from the early 60s, when we got paid, the guy on the other side would hand us our pay packet.
Keep you away from the till!
@@coldwarmercantile lol
What a fabulous old building, I can. See why you wanted it. Any spirits?
Chris you have no idea of the potential?? The beauty of these items not to mention the demand is mind blowing. Congratulations. I would love a job please?
Just a quick recommendation when stacking things. Always put a spacer beneath the piles so that you can get a palette jack underneath it to move it later. I built two very large furniture dollies made from 2x10s with big caster wheels that I could put under large stacks of wood with the help of the pallette jack and then glide the stacks whereever i needed them as I changed areas to build/clean.
Nice tip. I will actually be doing a ton of stacking in the next few weeks. I need to get a pallet jack!
Your green chalk board is a ping-pong table!
That thing has been the subject of so much debate!
Those wall paper roll are like gold to junk journal makers. You should put them up for sell there's a whole hudge group of junk journal makers that love that stuff. Any old paper can be sold to junk journalists ledgers and any paper that can be written on one repurposed.
Nice tip! Thanks.
Totally! As an artist I used buy old wallpaper, sample & swatch books from interior designers. There is a University in Charleston, (where this building is located) and they have a full art department in multi-media. Old school, hand making of art.
Really like your new hat Chris.
Very stylin'. 😉👍
Thats how I roll!
You’re so lucky! I love sorting and old treasure 🙂
Shelves are good for sorting. Factory is looking cleaner for sure.
I have enough cleaning to make 100 videos! I'll post them all! Cheers!
Hey I love you channel you are doing a awesome job
The black washers are faucet seals.and the long white bulb is a float and valve.
Its so much fun watching these videos Chris. So many of us would love to have the opportunity to buy something like that and turn it into something that we can use and make the community better.
Aw, thanks man. Glad to have you!
The heavy canvas bag looks like a lineman’s bag. If the old filters go to heavy equipment they might still be usable as new old stock. I suggest when you restack the wood that it all be flat and stagger the joints. Wood will twist stacked like you have it.
Yeah, I am actually moving it today. I needed some airflow in there pretty urgently. This time I'll stack with stickers. Also finally got a thickness planer coming in the mail from amazon. Wanted that for a long Time!
@@coldwarmercantile As old as the wood is it probably won’t need stickers unless it is wet. Piled up like pickup sticks the boards will twist. Just stacking flat and staggering the joints will force it to be flat. You might put a 2x4 every 30” in your stack. That will tie it all together and allow you to stack it higher. By the way my experience is 45 yrs construction mostly cabinets and trim. Take free advise for what you paid for it. LOL
@@coldwarmercantile I would Love to come up and help you. But can’t now.
@@dagwood1327 Thats exactly how I'll do it. Thanks for the advice!
The canvas bag is a lineman’s bag. Used to store their high voltage gloves.
No lack of hard work for you there Chris! You keep plugging along with the plan you have in your head and make it happen. I will enjoy your videos regardless of whether you make mistakes or not. Team Chris all the way! 🤘😁🤘
Thanks man! It will likely take years to do. But you and some of the others will have been here with me from the very beginning!
Those ceramic figurines are collectables, the swans too. Bet they’re worth something.
Amazing they have survived in there, I saw boxes and boxes more in other places in the building.
This would be my dream job. Especially if I lived there as well. And I’d keep the owl level…
The hat looks great on you! I love the wallpaper and the MCM leather chair!
Keep chipping away! 1 sq ft at a time and it will be beautiful. Reminds me of the shoe factory in Jumanji movie with Robin Williams!!!
💚 the green wallpaper!!
Your weird "light bulb" thing is a real cool float valve
Let me guess..... for a toilet! Should have known!
@@coldwarmercantile more industrial use
I'm checking in too!.........Been re-reading the early comments of your supporters on YT,..they offered up some great ideas. Positive and helpful ones.
I’ll bet the city officials love that you’re cleaning this old building out. A real fire trap with all that stuff in there
So far they have been so kind and helpful to me.
Cool place! Like a Treasure hunt! Love the videos! Keep posting and God Bless.
"Real felt" from the 6 legged felt worm. Hehe.
What a fantastic journey you are having. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Yeah not that plastic stuff today. ITs breathable wool!!!!
@@coldwarmercantile Thanks for sharing this experience. I just want to jump in and help. You are inspirational.
Some of the wall paper would be great to make some back drops for taking pictures of different items your selling. Love them!
Totally agree that mottled gray will be staying with me for jus that purpose!
That Crane slate is probably a 2 piece top for a gaming table, like a pool table
That hat does have your name written all over it.
i JUST bought an 1882 home in Charleston, IL and found your channel after looking into the shoe factory! i love what you are doing so much!! i cant wait to see what becomes of this place in the future. i’d also love to help out sometime! i hope you sell some of this stuff cuz i have my eyes on that pink sink and i have a reading nook that could use a funky wallpaper 👀
Congrats on the home. I'll be doing a big auction at some point. The industrial antique stuff I have to figure out how best to handle. I do have plenty of funky wallpaper.
I am so glad to see you with a mask on. Wow! That room is bigger than I Thought. Check out Habitat For Humanity if you have one close. The green wallpaper would be a nice accent in a male bathroom.
we have one called re-store.
Your stairway doors etc. Had a original chain and weight and pully system with a fire rated meltable link at the top of each door opening. I have rebuilt those systems to function again and satisfied the emergency door code without expensive upgrades. If you see weights chains and pulleys, dont throw them out. Grand father them back into function. The melt link looks like 2 copper pennies soldered together with a melt temperature stamped into it. Good luck
Wow nice, actually the second and third floor have that. Still complete untouched. There are some giant sliding ones on the ground floor that roll down hill and close when the string burns. Good to know that they can satisfy that item on the checklist. Thanks.
Aha,..You brought back my memories I have of those kind of old factory doors. I had an art studio in a factory warehouse, built in 1901. My artist, collector, friend, has his studio in a 1900s era grain mill. He has those kind of fire doors with the weights. Very interesting! I never knew about the "Melt Link".
That crane table might be a heavy-duty ping pong table. My buddy had one that could fold up so you could play by yourself. It was very thick.
That is what people said, but why double sided? and why so thick?
@Cold War Mercantile some of those older tables could be used for multiple games. They sold a kit that would clamp down and then you could use it for a pool table or a mini shuffle board. You put out good content and video, as I enjoy watching your next step.
Looks like the base of a snooker table
ARRGH! I wish I wasn't an old timer, at this point in time. I'm turning 70 in December! I grew up during the "photography" generation. We didn't have anything digital. All my millions of photos are on film. As a working Artist, I took a lot of photos, but because film & developing was expensive, I didn't document everything, like YOU can do with your cellphone, effortlessly, these days.
The cooler cart with the attached bike wheel was for clamping to your bike frame and selling ice cream bars and popsicles. You had to rent the unit and purchase the stock and block ice from the owner but you kept all the profits from the sales. I think I paid around $10 but made on average made around $15 to 20. For a kid, it was good mcoin if you could come up with the seed money.
If it's not too rude to ask...haha. What years was that concept "a thing".
@@coldwarmercantile From the 1930's up until Dixie Dee started putting their cart in front in the 50's. I used to do ii in the summer months in the mid 60's in Victoria, Canada.
This is a solid tip! Thanks so much. To me that makes it worth more!
Find a working pallet jack and shrink wrap like items on pallets. Need to keep the concrete 1st floor swept so pallet jack rolls easy. Have an engineer check the concrete floor to see if it strong enough to support forklift operations before using it.
It should be good, but there are small patches of hardwood flooring. Some day I'll pour them concrete to match the rest.
Love the hat! lol
Hi. You have come a long way.
Slow but steady wins the race!
The manual to your broken elevator? Now you can fix it. Yup, Fram is car stuff.
Can't wait to see what you do with the green wallpaper, it's epic!
My thought exactly. any ideas?
@@coldwarmercantile I think a feature wall somewhere. Not too big and overwhelming. A niche or a bathroom, behind some shelving...?
Sidecar is an Ice cream vendors ice storage.
Those Fram filters could be inline filters for a fuel tank that would feed into a furnace. But very cool new old stock. I hope your auction is a huge success would love to see you have a ton of capital to put into the place.
Thanks! The sheer amount of stuff I think I need to do it over a couple different days. Because there is so much stuff that everybody will spend it all and there are 45 loads let to auction! haha.
That's just what they were for. You can see on one of the boxes "For domestic oil burners".The General filters are for oil furnaces, too. They fit into a holder like the one at 33:05. It goes between the tank and the fuel line.
That is a mail cart. Long halls so bicycle takes a big load from the mail room and runs it down the way. Cool. The Foam circles - Men Room under the toilet seal to the plumbing. Called a Donut. Often in Wax now - single and double height. The pouch on the floor by tiny stuff might be a tool pouch to clip on tool belt. Hold pliers and stuff.
I have since heard it is a lineman bag. I really like it. Love utilitarian stuff!
That side car is for mail? I worked in a large factory, in the 1970s. One of my duties was as "the mail clerk",..I picked it up at the Post Office in my own car, & there was tons of it. Two full canvas rolling carts worth, every day. I'd spend half a day sorting it out into a wall of (cubby holes). I had to deliver the mail to the (upper level) office personnel and the bosses, personally. I would push a two tiered, narrow metal cart, with noisy-wonky wheels from office to office, down narrow isles between the desk workers. I also ran their in-house printing facility. The company built steel walls, for offices in factories. Stamping, bending & welding the raw materials.
@@Davett53 I worked for a large company and we had 1000 engineers on one floor. The mail room delivered in hand carts to the secretary pool for a cluster of engineers. In a long building like that that would be an easy fit to haul packages and letters as needed.
I forgot about veterans groups and maybe there's an organization of former Buster Brown employees & their families you could contact.
The crate lid could be repurposed into a really long painted picnic table at a softball park or other venue or in a park in the picnic area for large groups or families.
Try sweeping compound to keep the dust down.
Yeah! I was going to recommend that sweeping compound. I had a few jobs where we used it.
I will be getting a power sprayer and do a wet mist maybe with some additive.
The canvas could have been used by the shoe factory for patter making. One main pattern cut to different sizes for different size shoes.
Also the random wheels that are not complete sets can be turned upside down and become finals.
Small bits of wall paper can be put in the backs of shelving.
Nice tips! I can tell you are the crafty type! Cheers!
You showed a glass float device. You did know what it was for. Well, let me help you out. That device is the water control for a humidifier attached to a forced air furnace. It controls the amount of water let into the water trough for the pickup sponge to use.
That canvas bag I have identical ones for storing my high voltage insulation gloves makes sense with all the other electric stuff and insulation for high voltage you have found
It's cool looking thing.
The 12 foot or so long assembly of boards looks like the platforms we had to stand on at one of the places I worked as a machinist long ago. Much easier on the feet than concrete. Also love the old tool crib door with the window shelf. Nice.
Aha, maybe you are right. There is some really hard crusty stuff on it, I am wondering if something was dripping when they were working...
Good Job Chris - 824 views in 55 minutes
It's going up. There for a few days it was out of control views. Seems like it has now found a baseline. Which is good because my mind immediately went to.... oh my gosh now I have to stay on top of videos! It was so casual before. But actually its been kind of fun! Thanks for the encouragement.
Find a friendly appraiser to collaborate with and a student to log everything.
The chalkboard would be better to display when you take pictures of your antiques to describe some of the more unusual ones or where you had gotten them or the dates on them that you have discovered
A dust trick, when cleaning. Get a large shop vacuum. The discharge pipe, connect a longer flexible tube. Place the improved vent outside. The dust particles are not in area, again. Using a dust mask is really important. However, the particles you can’t really see and very dangerous are present for days. Sometimes, we would use an old tent with vent. Placing the out feed in the tent, with misting water. This way you can collect particles from neighbors. Looks like you gonna be busy for a while.
Man, I wish I could afford to buy that pink sink!!
If you can get hold of it, put up some industrial shelving all the way down the middle of each floor, so you have somewhere to put all the 'treasures' you find and you actually get some floorspace cleared. Perhaps you have enough materials that you could ask the local high school to use for making storage boxes for you, allowing you to move the 'treasures' more than one item at a time. Such boxes do not need to be nice or identical but it could be a nice challenge (and learning process) for youngsters to make boxes out of recycled materials. Just make sure you have some way of labeling each box so you have an indication of what is in them when they sit on the shelves.
recently I have been using window sills for that. haha. Getting cleaner slowly but surely.
That place must have been sweltering to work in the summer. Didn’t see any pedestal fans but noticed a few ceiling hung circulators on an upper level. Hope they come in handy.
surprisingly only on the 3rd floor, the second and ground level are kind of impervious to weather temps. Super thick brick walls. But the top floor does get warm in summer.
Lovin the videos, brings back memories of where I started work in Australia, an old munitions factory. If those walls could talk. Great job, best of luck for your future ventures.
Someone might want the ladder for getting in the loft in a micro house, or for a floor to ceiling library/bookshelves!
That door with the cage & shelf might be a place where people came to get their paychecks or in the days when factories paid in cash where they got their money every week and you would sign a sheet to show who got paid.
Good job! Plus some great finds for the auction!
The chalk board is a promotional piece from Crane, which is/was a plumbing fixture manufacturer.
perfect! Thank. you! every body was saying ping pong table but it is too thick and double sided. I just wasn't convinced. Plumbing makes sense in this building. There was a plumbing shop in it for years.
I love the stainless prison toilet. Wish I had a place to put it
It has a large opening for the water so that would be a major project.
Can you please 🙏 do a video on the elevator ? The motor room and the shaft. What help you need .I feel if you record it the wider RUclips community can help.
Yes. I can. I've been getting some requests. I'll do that. It might be a few weeks out as I am editing them together before I upload. But I will definitely do that!
@@coldwarmercantile Yeah! I want to see those instructions, up close. The freight elevator in my 1900s warehouse art studio, was SO primitive. One pulled (yanked) greasy black steel cables, (manually) to begin to activate upward or downward movement of the elevator car. It released very heavy counter-weights, outside the car, in the shaft. Then an electric motor kicked on and assisted. The damn thing was prone to failing, for short periods of time. I would have to keep my fingers crossed, hoping not to get trapped in there.
that tub with the bicycle wheel looks like an ice cream cooler dont know but im guessing from the 60s
At the carwash it didn't leak. you may be right.
That farm sink is pretty valuable.
I have a farm sink in my 1900s era house, a wide one with a built in drain board, all ceramic over iron. I love it.
@Davett53
My parents have one in their 1920s Victorian house that they spent 500 bucks filling in the chips on it about 10 years ago.
Theirs is deeper on the drain end with a shelf on the right side for drying dishes.
(No idea if the sink is original to the house. I doubt it.)
@@gergc4871 Sounds a lot like mine. My neighborhood was built in the late 1800s through the 1900s. My neighbor's porcelain over iron farm sink is mounted on, turned wooden legs, and a curtain of one's choosing, can hang beneath, to hide the pipes, and store kitchen soaps, sponges, etc. Mine has an actual wooden enclosure, with "Craftsman-esque" hammered steel hardware. It is coated in 90 years worth of paint. The hardware could be copper, or black patina iron. The wooden cabinet has a curved corner, matching the contour of the sink. And there are 2 cabinet shelves behind doors, and a drawer.
That one door with the shelf could have been where you walked up and paid the bookie
I have couple bags simukar to that older looking one with the hook, they were uses for electricians gloves and would hang off a linemens tool belt.
That makes sense. Someone mentioned that. It thing it is cool as all get out. They don't make stuff that durable any more.
It looks like somebody had a plumbing company and used that factory as a dumping ground. Love the hat.
There was a plumbing company owned by a man who was a big fan of buying everything at the local auctions.
@@coldwarmercantile
Cool I guess. I don't envy the clean up job. Neet old factory.
The bicycle sidecar has a 50s/60s vibe, though could be even be 40s with a later added tail ight. The 'chalkboard' with CRANE on it I would think is part of a store display for plumbing fixtures. Watch for maker's marks on the chair bases/learn some of the styles of different designers...some designer ones are well worth selling on their own. Movie/TV/stage set designers and house restorers go for the wallpaper. Years ago I sold several rolls of vintage linoleum to one for "In Cold Blood" (with Eric Roberts, Anthony Edwards). Adding two restaurant table bases to that plank top will create an awesome table. Before washing that bag, look inside for military markings. Gut says it isn't military, but you never know. Worth checking. Always found most automotive filters to be a tough sell, though are good shelf filler to rent to movie companies. Same with those packs of Vapoglas...good for a hardware store movie set. Some of the advertising license plate frames are good. Haven't had much luck with most of the novelty ones, though.
I still remember your vid about celebrities in your shop! There isn't much of a film industry in central Illinois. Seems like anything automotive is good. I have an upcoming video with something very early and very cool. Remind me how we messaged before was it email or insta? I can't remember. I'll send you some pics.
@@coldwarmercantile It was email. I'm not too good with Instagram. Movie companies will happily pay for shipping for things they need. I had shipped out stuff to a shooting location two provinces over. But, Winnipeg (capital of Manitoba) is a prime movie shoot location, so I have made some good past local sales to the industry as well. Now being 2.5 hours away, that industry doesn't come into play anywhere near as much. Though still get the odd inquiry. If you can get on their radar as a source, you could do well. Need to let the set dec and props department people know you exist.
Vintage wall paper is worth money. Those foam disks look like something that the used under toilets 😂🤣😂. That one piece looks like an old bar. Street light covers would make cool sinks.
Why the laughing emoji? just kidding. I think you are right. Might be hard to cut that glass but that's a cool idea.
Totally 60's to the 70's wallpaper! LOVE the one that looks like tile - the green one. The razor is actually cool! I like the canvas bag as well - I think it's for linemen to clip on their belt to hold tools. Nice cowboy hat - now all you need is a fancy horse LOL 🤣 So have any critters ran at you yet? Looks like there may be some nesting in there. Good clean out. I wonder if you could get a power wash company clean all the dust out. That would be cool.
I have chased a few away! Yes it seems it is a lineman belt. So cowboy hat and saddle bag! Off to the rodeo.
@@coldwarmercantile LOL 😅
❤❤❤❤❤
Chris side car id say 40s to 50s. Chair is 60s, 70s. Im into the 60s and 70s era. Im trying to do my apt in the vintage Mid Century Modern (1960s to 1970s)
Fabric im totally into it. Wish i could have it for my business.
Im also very creative. Goes with my art hobby those wheels could also be used in a pulley system.
Those foam rings are toilet flanges. Its sandwhiched between the toilet and floor. I think. They use wax rings now.
Chris i think a hoarder used to own the factory. They hoarded unlimited random stuff.
You could make wall sconces out of some stuff.
I am going to keep the gray stuff for photo backdrop. The other stuff I'll set it aside. It is really cool. Nice for photography. What is y our business?
Dude, ya gotta see what's on those VHS tapes!!
I might get traumatized! haha.
Hey Chris Still watching and enjoying your videos...Great progress...Are you going to sell antiques from the building over the internet or have an antique mall and possibly rent out booths...Great job...I'm looking forward your next episode
Eventually yes, and yes. But I have to get the building up to code first. That would be a dream to have an antique showroom and rent space.
On your side cars tail light lens there might be a date on it that might get you close to year that it was made!
I'll check.
If you sell the bicycle sidecar at the ratrodbikes forum, there'll probably be a bidding war. Shipping will cost a few bucks, tho....
You got massive garage door; man you got yourself some real hidden treasure and whatnot! sale it if you can I hope you not a lone in the job cheers and all the best from Tucson, Arizona.
I have a plan to bring in help.
Those scissor jacks , rig them to mount on a table top. Perfect for gluing boards up then clamping them while they dry!!mount a piece of angle iron on each jack, can clamp extremely wide table tops for glue ups!
Yeah that's a good DIY idea.
Don’t believe everyone on RUclips
I’ve often cleaned up things like large garages where I move everything from one side to the other,
organizing as I go and cleaning the vacant side,
then I move stuff back into the clean side still organizing and consolidating and importantly throwing stuff out.
I find moving it back and forth helps me realize if it’s worth keeping or not.
And I can sort things into similar clusters.
But I wouldn’t spend too much time doing that with the larger bulkier items.
It’s common sense….
Yes. I agree now I don't feels so bad. I'm not the only one!
Think about this, get a few crafters to make stuff from the items you have multiple off. If you get peoples minds working ,turning something? Into something else, to repurpose might help you sell the multiples! Generate interest in your auctions?
Ping pong table need a net. Maybe Carhart material. Tiger paper good for your sons room. Looks like a picnic table top. Needs legs and benches made. We still use fly paper strips a5 the farm in Michigan.
I think it is a retail display piece, because it is double sided, has a plumbing company logo and is too thick for pingpong table. But that is one of the many mysteries of the building.
1A30 is a very common oil tank filter, the Lenox item is an igniter element the black washers are for faucets.
Trifecta! Thanks for the info.
As far as a wallpaper you can cut squares and make like a almost like a patch quilt but it's a wallpaper patch quilt
The is a Bridge too far for me! Just kidding, I might take it to my future antique booth and sell it as a lot. It might go a long way to soften the selection of brutal industrial stuff I have.
Great video really love old buildings like yours hope everything goes well for you
Hi Chris, Love the videos! If I lived closer, I would love to come help out and do some picking! My first thought would be to put the word out to any local mechanics, (like me) who might want to take a look at that old forklift and get it running. It would be a huge help with moving things around. You did say someone told you it runs. I bet it wouldn't take much. The old ones are built like tanks. It would be worth much more to you as a tool than you'll get out of it at auction, (or scrap) and besides, the mechanic may be willing to trade out work for some junk lol! You should do a video on that section of the building sometime and include the lift. I'd be happy to offer any info/advise to help get it operational and, a "Will it Run?" video would probably boost your channel. 😁
Nice. Lots of people have been requesting a video on the lift. I need to get that one filmed. as for the fork truck, it started but was backfiring. It's propane. I had the carbs cleaned but need to reconnect it all. The timing needs adjusted to stop the backfiring I guess. It would really come in handy for the heavy thing I am making in an upcoming video. I'll put the word out.
@@coldwarmercantile My bad, when I said the "Lift" I was referring to the fork lift.. Although, I'd love to see a video about the freight lift elevator as well! Back to the fork truck, could be several things, from running too lean or something as simple as a couple of crossed spark plug wires. Check the firing order. Timing shouldn't be an issue as long as no one has moved the distributor. Does it have an Impco fuel system? If so, it would have two pods connected together: a regulator, and shut off valve. Then a mixer that looks like a Carburetor. Most problems stem from the regulator which amoung other things, converts the LP to a vapor.
@@XS29J8B You already lost me. I think I will do a problem machines video and show what's going on in detail for each one! But back to your advice, I agree I should get a mechanic to stop by.
@@coldwarmercantile Sounds good. Sorry for the confusion...lol
Just subbed! I love stuff like this as it was something that my husband and I would have and did do! One word of caution wear protective eye wear and a good mask. Birds carry diseases that can and will effect your eyes and old dust can really do a number on your lungs . Most old buildings and factories have had birds move in them. Why is it that old building were a treasure trove of toilets...lol I am seeing some really cool stuff! Awe now I see your mask! Thank you for thinking of your own health. My husband got an eye infection that is how i know. Work on and I wish I could do something like this one more time!
Thank you for the concern. It's very kind of you. Since I got so many comments on RUclips I am being much more disciplined about protective equipment.
@@coldwarmercantile No Thank you because I hesitate to say anything that it might be taken wrong. But I just had to it brought back memories...to many!
Get goodwill or desert industries or st Vinnie's to drop you a box truck to fill up with useable donation stuff and write it off,
Put the elevator instructions in a safe place- that’s historical information for the building
Take a closer look at the light on the side car. You may find a date on it--usually the year.
