14:51 to 22:12 (approximately) is footage from part 4 so don't panic thinking you're losing your mind. Lol Yes, you've most likely seen that section before. I and others were all thinking 'Haven't I seen this?" :-) My favorite find of the day was the books! As a child, I loved the Pooh stories and as a teen enjoyed the Avonlea tv series and books. As a young adult, I was able to travel from the U.S. to Prince Edward Island and see it for myself. Lovely place!
@@hippydippy I guess editing while falling asleep from exhaustion can result in unintended duplication of footage. I shudder to think of what his media folders look like.
I'M 87 years old so I thought the GRIM REAPER was coming to get me when I realized that I had already seen that part before......Alex never messes-up doing the videos.......
Alex you should have kept the Dr. pill bottles in the canisters and the other stuff you through away. People buy them for movie props to go in Apothecary, pharmacy store scenes
I can’t believe you threw away that little case, full of tiny plastic, cowboys and horses. Those are precious. I sure hope you can dig those out of the trash. You’re breaking my heart.
There are so many items I saw you put into the trash bin that I wished you saved! Printed promo paper items, brand new box of tongue depressors and slides, the little bottles etc. They may not be quick high priced selling items for you but there are plenty of vintage collectors who would enjoy these items. 😢😢
I'm a junkjournaler and I have to tell you, everytime you threw out a piece of those vintage papers, a tear came to my eye! What incredible work you do! Have been binge watching since I found your chanel a month ago. Love it!!!
WOW you could have gotten money for those glass medication bottles. Especially bottles with no mold lines in them from pouring them when made. I LOVE THEM!!! Also fun putting flower cuttings in during the summer, in window sils, a little food coloring in the water 💐. Fun watching you. I do get anxiety at times because such BIG jobs can be overwhelming! Great work and GREAT help from everyone!!! I've seen SO MANY families just throw everything out when loved ones pass away without even looking through items!!!! It's INSANE!!! That's why at a young 60 I've downsized and given my 37 and 25 year young children whatever they wanted already!!! All my beautiful wooden furniture pieces, China, etc. Western Upstate New York Nurse here 💕
Those old tea cup and saucers can be worth a bit of money and sought after by collectors. Even one servings. The entry in the diary is a poem, one of my favorite ones . The Doctor 's pill containers and such would make a great set to sell, apothecary /medical stuff sells good here. So interesting all the things you find in a clean out. I have taught myself to restore old photos and have gained a great appreciation of them and the history behind the photos people and places. I wish I could see the photos and family names, when I find sets in a yard sell, I scan and upload files onto family search to add them to family trees so they have photos and such for the people. I do love preserving history so our kids can learn about the past.
That line of poem from the Antigonish was used in the movie "Identity" starring John Cusack, 2003. The first time I heard that quirky line in the movie, I loved it and had to check it out. I've been sharing that poem with many people over the years! Scared the crap out of 10 year old niece and nephew. They were scared to walk up the stairs to bed! They did survive and are much older now, lol.
I didn't know until today that it was Canadian. My Scottish Grandfather used to recite it as a nonsense rhyme, so I'd thought all this time it was Robbie Burns or some such.
That coffee table isn't as bad as you think. That haziness is just in the varnish. A lot of times you can rub it out with wet cigarette ashes or fine sandpaper. If not, you can pour rubbing alcohol over the area. It will dissolve the varnish so you can scrape it off and won't disturb any original stain. One it's clean and dry, use a lint free rag to rub a new layer of varnish on. Good as new. It's a nice table. I would try to sell it to someone who does refinishing or a DIY person.
Thx. this was fun. .. it crushed my heart though, when you threw away, without a second thought, the "well used" water color set box. This is the kind of thing i would have jumped up and down of joy about, if I would have found it in a donation pile. ^^ It seemed to be a good quality water color set as well. They are really worth a lot to someone who likes to paint and who's in a "no / low budget" situation. .. especially those small color boxes, which are very neat for "urban sketching" tours, because they are small and well to handle on the go.
I agree. I collect watercolor tins and take them out on urban sketching or plein air studies. I fill with my own paints too. It's amazing how Reeves, Winsor Newton and Binney and Smith brands with vintage paints are of decent quality. Plus the graphics on some are fantastic! I have about 25 different tins dating back to the late 1890's.
He threw away two sets of Reeves watercolour pans... pity...as an artist, that one hurt!...he could have made up a box of smaller items (that probably couldn't have been sold separately )but altogether in one box would have sold well...too late now..
Clearing the Dresser and Vanity Drawers. Was surprised to see you taking out the little boxes, paint cases and those boxes for wooden matches from the drawers and just tossing them in the trash can, without a peak inside.. Sometimes even the old matchboxes have coins and tokens, rather then matches. It pays to pop all those little boxes open on the way to the trash.
It's amazing to me that a house on the other side of the world, would contain so many things that my mother and father had in their home in Australia. Also that Edwardian Lady looks just like my sister.
I looked it up and the poem in the diary is called Antigonish by William Hughes Mearns, written in 1899. It became a hit song called The Little Man Who wasn't There. I'm sure I will be one of many who will Google it!
Just coming to say that Bowie wrote and Nirvana (later covered) that song. Gauging from the age of the stuff in the desk I'm assuming someone listened to Bowie and liked that line.
Thank you for doing these clean ups! I have been watching your channel since the first Potter's House video. My only comment comes as a musician and music educator. I'm guessing that the instruments have already gone to auction, however, I recommend donating them to local colleges or universities in the future. Most schools have a music education program that has to teach future educators all the instrument groups. Having been through one of these programs I have noticed the lack of instruments being both a major headache and concern of the department. The violin may look in rough shape, but all it needs is a new bridge, $30-50, and a new set of strings, which would be $50-100. The guitar seems to be in good working condition. Maybe some lube for the tuners and definitely change the strings. I am curious for your next couple videos and seeing how the auction goes. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
I wonder if the jumbled nature of everything in the basement could mean that whenever the owner needed to do some quick housework, they got a box and dumped everything that was on counters and cluttering the living spaces into the box and threw it in the basement and then ran the vacuum around, just in time for guests to arrive.
I wouldn't be surprised. The "I'll probably need this later but it doesn't have a designated place" spot used to be the drawer under my bed 😂 I couldn't imagine having a whole basement that nobody used! It'd be so cluttered haha
Please don’t dump that beautifully vanity. It would make a fabulous project piece to renovate. There are many DIY refinishers who’d love that. I love that set! 😊
My mom found a really old diary in the trash and added to it giving historical updates. I found it years after she passed away and I wrote in it updating it again. It is an interesting read for any historian.
That set with the yellow casserole is the largest, then half that size in blue, then two smaller red ones. I got my set in 1962 as a wedding present. I still have the yellow casserole ond one red one. It was a very nice and well appreciated gift.
WONDERFUL all that you're donating 🙌. Melissa... The Tea Cups you can Super Glue the Cup TILTED then use metal hanger with a Shepard Hook from the tree and put jelly/jam in it for the Humming Birds!!! Or just Bird Food. They look pretty and the Birds Love it!!! I saw it at a friend's one day and made several. Tons of Hummingbirds eating the jam!!!
That coffee table at 26:25 is beautiful, if I lived in Canada I would gladly drive to pick it up. It's not in great shape NOW but my goodness, it would be gorgeous after a little refurbishing :)
Mt aunt always kept a can of Avon bayberry spray in her bathroom, to keep things fresh. Lol The metal object with the suction cups that you found is a very early car top carrier for luggage. My parent's had one in the 60's for our old pink rambler.
Really love the special care you take as you sort through this place and marvel at the discoveries. There are some beautiful pieces in this place. As an old book collector, those were especially some thrilling finds. Great work!
As a collector of vintage women's bits and bobs, I'd definitely bid on a lot of just misc beauty/women's stuff. Spent makeup compacts (like the metal ones and lipstick tubes), hair accessories, random non-precious metal charms, etc. like dump it all in a box and put it up for sale haha. Just for future reference 😊
That hair curler with the vintage box illustration is in great shape and so collectible. Alex needs to bring Melissa with him more often so he doesn’t miss the things women collect!
Hi😊...whenever you find old art supplies, keep them. I am an artist and I know people are buying vintage paint, crayons, pencils. They can be pretty valuable. Love your channel. Have a nice day ❤.
I am 65 years old and a lot of these items take me back to my childhood, even the stuff that’s before my time I have seen from my parents and grandparents. Lol, Cabbage Patch dolls are newer items to me….😂
Dang Alex you impress me. Such a good man doing the right thing for the right reasons. Please pay off your compound and cars you're going to keep. You're lucky your kids are so smart, they will earn college. The piano lady pushed you over the top. But you took the risk. There are really bad people out there, just ignore them. You can't always do everything right, keep doing what you are doing. My wife and I are about 15% assets and income with no debt at all which took tons of work. Last year was horrible here, interest rates, inflation, rents, stocks, taxes and we still with all that NOISE we still paid $ 87,000 income and 3 years without touching nest egg. We are giving more because of you brother. I'm not kidding. I play bodhran everyday, look it up. You are talented also. 5 years ago I beat stage 4 TONSIL CANCER, watching you and you wonderful family. For that I thank you Sir. Neal APOLLO BEACH FLORIDA SEMPER FI
On the internet I was looking up a book and I found an exact copy of the giraffe It was a decoration for a cake! The side without the ear actually had tiny flowers attached to it!
My Mum has a seahorse brooch and it has a real Ruby for its eye so I guess that may be a Ruby as well in the one you found.Enjoying watching you going through this 🏠
My mom had a pair of seahorse screw-back earrings and a matching brooch. As I child I used to think they were real seahorses at one time. 😯 But they were plastic.
Hopefully you didn't toss out the Doctor's medication vials (the ones in the metal containers). Those should go with the rest of the medical supplies. $$$ People collect Pharmacy related things and I bet those would sell.
Great family team work! Alex you work so well on your own as well, to see your management skills in these situations is commendable , logical. Appreciate your donation, the Canadian way :) cannot wait Melissa for the gardening to start. Peace and Love to all
Keep the Singer Featherweight! Your girls are crafters and these wonderful machines not only are a handy size they are easy to tune and repair yourself!
In good shape! The case was in trouble but it can be repaired or there's varios options to buy a replacement. I love mine and their value will increase faster than a computerized! Not that I don't love my Elna, Ella.
11:05 For a BBQ rotisseri 💯 Should be a square Spear to fit into the Hole, goes on batteries There was a pale blue Long slim box saying BBQ🤷🏼♂️ At 15:20 upper right corner…Spear might be in that box?? Well too late 4 month later😅🤣
Looked again... noooooo another watercolor tin. You can still use them... or the tin for new watercolors... THAT US GOLD YOU TROW AWAY... ALEXANDER... I WILL COME AFTER YOU FOR THAT...
Enjoy your content. I really enjoy the clean outs I spend alot of the time telling you that's not trash someone in the crafting world would use that. Then I know just processing is very time consuming and not worth it for the volume you deal with. Just know you have at least one viewer that cringes every time you throw away a stack of paper, documents or mail and that is pretty much any conditions it's in. Thank you for sharing your work with us Happy Hunting.
I have to remember we don't have smell-o-vision. With incontinent mice running around everywhere, those papers have no telling how much pee, poop, mold, and mildew on them. I work in a museum with boxes of old papers and such. It's a constant battle deciding to try to keep or have to toss.
So, I would start collecting all of the useful items you come across, and make yourself a "house cleaning kit" include lightbulbs, garbage bags, papertowels, totes boxes, cleaning supplies, gloves masks... you might have already such a kit, but I have a dedicated kit that goes with me when i pick up auction items from a house and another when I repair furniture for people
The paint boxes would sell.. artists would actually pay pretty nicely for them, especially with the paint still in them, even well used. But they can be reused for new water colors. Also, are there any colleges around there with like carpentry majors? Instead of throwing away older wooden furniture, maybe they'd take it as a donation to fix up .. as a class on restoration or something???
Alex if you found that desk on a bookshelf look for the book Hitty (probably and orange book). Since she was a doll collector maybe that is Hitty's desk and is very collectible.

Love these house cleanouts. Is it just me or is middle part of this video the same as Part 4?
I was thinking the same thing, glad I'm not alone in thinking i had already seen this before.
It is. He must have edited the 2 videos wrong together, he will fix it.
I was just wondering the same.
I was thinking same thing.
I thought I’d lost my marbles, I’m so glad others realised the same thing 😂

Yea. I think this clean out is getting to him. lol
Thank you. I was very confused. Glad it wasn’t me!

Them old love letters wrapped it blue ribbon , could be something special ,
I think I'm experiencing deja vu ...have I not seen the basement footage already ??? xxJanieDundee
I noticed that too. He already filmed finding the lighter, etc in an earlier video.
I thought I was going crazy 😂
@@annemckoy812 Same here!
yup lol
Think so guess he didn’t hv enough footage
Alex you should have kept the Dr. pill bottles in the canisters and the other stuff you through away. People buy them for movie props to go in Apothecary, pharmacy store scenes
I can’t believe you threw away that little case, full of tiny plastic, cowboys and horses. Those are precious. I sure hope you can dig those out of the trash. You’re breaking my heart.

That was no slip up on Alex’ part, he was just testing us to see if we were all paying attention, I guess we passed 😅!!!
We are definitely fans❤
I can't believe you tossed the beautiful little coffee table.
Omg, you trashed the water colors! That killed me! I collect old sets used or not, yeah they're lower than $10-$20 but aaaaagh!
And match books
Anyone else get deja vu in the middle of this video?
Yes, part of it is from an older episode
😅

All of that old paper, like the 1972 income tax booklet is an amazing treasure trove that junk journal makers like myself dream of!
I was thinking that too, especially when he was showing the vintage wrapping paper in an earlier episode, junk journal heaven!
Seriously! I'd buy a lot of random papers and advertisements in a heartbeat
It’s difficult watching Alex trash the ephemera. It’s really starting to bum me out.
Oh man, I would love to have that coffee table. It would be gorgeous if it was refinished.
seeing the rugs on the floor made me think of all the rugs that were dumped! I bet they were actually good rugs and someone would have loved them..
I was certainly thinking the same thing.
Some people like those metal paint sets, even if the paint is used. They use them in small displays.
I collect them and repurpose them using my professional paints. I'm heartbroken he tossed them in the garbage. They are great for urban sketching .
That line of poem from the Antigonish was used in the movie "Identity" starring John Cusack, 2003. The first time I heard that quirky line in the movie, I loved it and had to check it out. I've been sharing that poem with many people over the years! Scared the crap out of 10 year old niece and nephew. They were scared to walk up the stairs to bed! They did survive and are much older now, lol.
I think I heard my mother recite it to me so it sounded familiar.
My mom had it in a book back in the 60's, so I recognized the poem as well.
I didn't know until today that it was Canadian. My Scottish Grandfather used to recite it as a nonsense rhyme, so I'd thought all this time it was Robbie Burns or some such.
My Mum used to recite just that part to us when we were children.
That coffee table isn't as bad as you think. That haziness is just in the varnish. A lot of times you can rub it out with wet cigarette ashes or fine sandpaper. If not, you can pour rubbing alcohol over the area. It will dissolve the varnish so you can scrape it off and won't disturb any original stain. One it's clean and dry, use a lint free rag to rub a new layer of varnish on. Good as new. It's a nice table. I would try to sell it to someone who does refinishing or a DIY person.

It's amazing how Reeves, Winsor Newton and Binney and Smith brands with vintage paints are of decent quality. Plus the graphics on some are fantastic! I have about 25 different tins dating back to the late 1890's.
I was right there with you! I was ready to dive into that trash can for those and the matchbooks!
He threw away two sets of Reeves watercolour pans... pity...as an artist, that one hurt!...he could have made up a box of smaller items (that probably couldn't have been sold separately )but altogether in one box would have sold well...too late now..
Clearing the Dresser and Vanity Drawers. Was surprised to see you taking out the little boxes, paint cases and those boxes for wooden matches from the drawers and just tossing them in the trash can, without a peak inside.. Sometimes even the old matchboxes have coins and tokens, rather then matches. It pays to pop all those little boxes open on the way to the trash.
It's amazing to me that a house on the other side of the world, would contain so many things that my mother and father had in their home in Australia. Also that Edwardian Lady looks just like my sister.

Throwing away the pencils and that paint box in the first part hurt my soul.
Someone would love to refinish that wood coffee table Alex!
I am Swedish, and we have one of those angel chimes that my mother brings out every christmas!
🙋♀️❤ It's just evil that there is only a Hot Wheels brochure! Maybe the little man on the stair 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I'm drooling over the miniture desk. Duh? I'ma dollhouse addict. ❤
Thank you for doing these clean ups! I have been watching your channel since the first Potter's House video.

I'm guessing that the instruments have already gone to auction, however, I recommend donating them to local colleges or universities in the future.

Having been through one of these programs I have noticed the lack of instruments being both a major headache and concern of the department.
The violin may look in rough shape, but all it needs is a new bridge, $30-50, and a new set of strings, which would be $50-100.
The guitar seems to be in good working condition. Maybe some lube for the tuners and definitely change the strings.
I am curious for your next couple videos and seeing how the auction goes.
Hope you are having a wonderful day.
I wonder if the jumbled nature of everything in the basement could mean that whenever the owner needed to do some quick housework, they got a box and dumped everything that was on counters and cluttering the living spaces into the box and threw it in the basement and then ran the vacuum around, just in time for guests to arrive.
Who doesn't do that? Out of sight, out of mind
Been there, done that.😂
Yep😂
I wouldn't be surprised. The "I'll probably need this later but it doesn't have a designated place" spot used to be the drawer under my bed 😂 I couldn't imagine having a whole basement that nobody used! It'd be so cluttered haha
Yeah. Sounds like something I'd do!
Alex, that table in front of the blue loveseat…I think someone could strip it and re-stain, varnish, and it would be usable. Could be an antique.
Please don’t dump that beautifully vanity. It would make a fabulous project piece to renovate. There are many DIY refinishers who’d love that. I love that set! 😊
There are so many people that refinish old furniture and resell it as a profession. Probably a lot of people would love to have that stuff.
Those glass bottles in the metal cylinders are very interesting. Someone might be interested for auction minus the pills.
A lot of cool uses for them!
It always amazes me how much anything Pyrex or Corning has become so collectible and so pricey!
Still using the set my mom got for her wedding in 1953!
My mom found a really old diary in the trash and added to it giving historical updates. I found it years after she passed away and I wrote in it updating it again. It is an interesting read for any historian.

My mom had rhat exact coffee table and 2 matching end tables when I was a kid in the 1950s and 1960's, Brings back memories of childhood.
I would have sold the Dr. containers and glass slides.

Yes we had one too on our Ford Anglia(the car in the Harry Potter film).
Thank you, Alex! It was interesting that there was a clip from a former video folded into today's video....??
I came here to say that as well

Alex l don’t know if you realise but about 17:00 into the video we started watching video from the other day in episode 3 or 4!!
Thanks! I was just about to comment on that. I had deja vu when the Maple Leafs lighter came out!
Right! I was really thinking am I going mad or what!
The stopper that you found with the funky '70's ashtray in the previous video goes with the green pitcher & glass that is on the chest in this video.
You're such a hard worker! I so admire your integrity.
Alex, in 1957 Johnny Cash did The Rock Island Line. Great song by a Great Attist. Would like to hear you do it sometime.
People collect those watercolor paint tins and put new pigments in.
As soon as you said Rock Island line the song started playing in my head.
Hi😊...whenever you find old art supplies, keep them. I am an artist and I know people are buying vintage paint, crayons, pencils. They can be pretty valuable. Love your channel. Have a nice day ❤.
I had forgotten that paint pallets used to come in the tin boxes. Fun!
I am 65 years old and a lot of these items take me back to my childhood, even the stuff that’s before my time I have seen from my parents and grandparents. Lol, Cabbage Patch dolls are newer items to me….😂
I can’t believe you threw out those vintage Christmas candles!!
I know!!! Those would have sold at auction.

Such a lot of effort. The coffee table would be great if painted..the chabby chic trend. ❤
Oh noooo, I got to watch the same part where you lost the lid to one of those matching doctor's office canisters. My OCD senses were tingling.
My Mum has a seahorse brooch and it has a real Ruby for its eye so I guess that may be a Ruby as well in the one you found.Enjoying watching you going through this 🏠
My mom had a pair of seahorse screw-back earrings and a matching brooch. As I child I used to think they were real seahorses at one time. 😯 But they were plastic.
i love that red stool in the kitchen! my grandma had one. she also had the kitchen table like that.
Maple Leafs lighter is at least couple hundred Canadian, one place showed $471. Super find!
as a Geologist I love the rock collection :D I also love these videos!! I've been binge watching the playlists this week!!
My brother had one of those rock collections someone gave him,
The diary entry is actually part of a poem! I knew I had heard it before and just had to look it up again , it is titled “Antigonish”
Good video. God bless your family 👪. ❤❤❤
Rum and butter ❤ and your comedy and puns are great!! 😂 Great job!!

Great family team work! Alex you work so well on your own as well, to see your management skills in these situations is commendable , logical. Appreciate your donation, the Canadian way :) cannot wait Melissa for the gardening to start. Peace and Love to all
Keep the Singer Featherweight! Your girls are crafters and these wonderful machines not only are a handy size they are easy to tune and repair yourself!
They run at least 350.00
In good shape! The case was in trouble but it can be repaired or there's varios options to buy a replacement. I love mine and their value will increase faster than a computerized! Not that I don't love my Elna, Ella.
11:05 For a BBQ rotisseri 💯
Should be a square Spear to fit into the Hole, goes on batteries
There was a pale blue Long slim box saying BBQ🤷🏼♂️ At 15:20 upper right corner…Spear might be in that box?? Well too late 4 month later😅🤣
Glad your family helped ya out. Hard work. Proud of all of you.
Love that miniature desk. 😊
I a soapmaker and mice love soap. Especially if it's made from natural fats and oils.
Yes they do. I had a problem with mice last year and they ate a whole bar of Ivory soap.
Looked again... noooooo another watercolor tin. You can still use them... or the tin for new watercolors... THAT US GOLD YOU TROW AWAY... ALEXANDER... I WILL COME AFTER YOU FOR THAT...
Clean outs are my favorite videos!! So interesting the things u find!! 🤗
That tiny desk is so cool haha 👍✌️
Vintage watercolor paint tins are collectible but I don’t know prices.
I hope you kept the glass medicine bottles in the metal protectors. Very unusual to see.
Enjoy your content. I really enjoy the clean outs I spend alot of the time telling you that's not trash someone in the crafting world would use that. Then I know just processing is very time consuming and not worth it for the volume you deal with. Just know you have at least one viewer that cringes every time you throw away a stack of paper, documents or mail and that is pretty much any conditions it's in. Thank you for sharing your work with us Happy Hunting.
I have to remember we don't have smell-o-vision. With incontinent mice running around everywhere, those papers have no telling how much pee, poop, mold, and mildew on them. I work in a museum with boxes of old papers and such. It's a constant battle deciding to try to keep or have to toss.
Oh, all of the fabric! That makes my heart hurt
Coming along! So much work!
Can't wait to see what's in the attic. 😮
So, I would start collecting all of the useful items you come across, and make yourself a "house cleaning kit" include lightbulbs, garbage bags, papertowels, totes boxes, cleaning supplies, gloves masks... you might have already such a kit, but I have a dedicated kit that goes with me when i pick up auction items from a house and another when I repair furniture for people
🤭There are artist that would buy the Reeves watercolor pallet and other old art supplies! 👩🎨 🥁❤❤😂👍🏼
I love all your treasure hunting videos. Your house clean out series is really interesting😊
You have such a good looking family, Alex.
I agree completely! Love how Jason is now well taller than Steven... Both so handsome and Abigail is such a pretty young lady!
My Mom used to buy tons of Avon Bayberry spray so she could use it all year, they only sold it at Christmas time ❤
I love when youoôí, it’s fun to see… it’s great, your! whole the family is 😅great, family is so helpful.
Just saw this new one pop up. I love your cleanouts projects! Its like treasure hunting while helping peope get their home back!
The Madame RAC series spoiled us rotten, and that's exactly how she would want it...
The paint boxes would sell.. artists would actually pay pretty nicely for them, especially with the paint still in them, even well used. But they can be reused for new water colors.
Also, are there any colleges around there with like carpentry majors? Instead of throwing away older wooden furniture, maybe they'd take it as a donation to fix up .. as a class on restoration or something???
I had that souvenir rock collection back when I was a kid in the 80s!
I have a small desk exactly like the one you went through. It belonged to my husband's grandmother.
That table brings back memories. We had the very same one when I was a kid! 🤷🏻♀️❤️🥰
Alex if you found that desk on a bookshelf look for the book Hitty (probably and orange book). Since she was a doll collector maybe that is Hitty's desk and is very collectible.
