- It's Demo Day! This is the abandoned off-grid cabin we just purchased. It's been vacant for decades and we rented a 30 yard dumpster and got to work. Come along and see what we found! A lot of porcupine poop, and... some TREASURES!!
Thanks for your views, comments, and support!

My husband Dave Whipple's RUclips channel, BUSHRADICAL: / @bushradical
Dave's video is 5 minutes long, yours is 5x longer. Dave sticks to the basics, Brooke gives full details. Both are good.
@@devilselbow exactly!!
@@devilselbow me too. I knew if Dave was dropping a video, Brooke would be next.
Last video Dave comments on the perfectly good stove that just needs to be cleaned up. Today, Dave dumps the perfectly good stove in the dumpster😂
lol yup
@Steve Z yep, im guessing the boss said no way José, dump it. Lol
What makes me sad about places like this one is that, once upon a time, someone loved this house “home”, took time to decorate and cherished it. It’s great that you can create that opportunity again.
@RoadTripLover
Why be sad at a place well lived in and once loved?? For a season it made memories for those who lived within its walls. Even if it had to be bombed now ,there's no need for sorrow, not all yesterdays make great t'moros. Learn to rejoice in the beauty that was , not in the junk that is . Positivity makes a far better foundation for the future than sadness at what is past.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 I am snagging that phrase, " Positivity makes a far better foundation for the future than sadness at what is past.". It is a great reminder.
@@HappyLife693 ageed! Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 and my lifestyle and freedom channel 😊!
It kind of made me sad that the owner of the cholesterol medication probably died and thus why all the furniture was left behind. I know it is just "stuff", but someone cared for it once. A lot of someones slept in those beds. Why didn't anyone want to come back and strip down the house of all the furniture and belongings? Why?
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 A person can have a positive attitude about the future, while still feeling sad about what brought him to his present. Sadness and positivity can be felt at the same time.
The chunky little pup was having a great time 😅 But the curtain was hilarious.😂
I am so happy to see your son on camera working with you both.
You have been very respectful about their privacy on your public journey.
Again
You impress, encourage and inspire me.
Well done Team Whipple!
I thought they had bought this place and are deciding if they can fix it up or not.
How do you find places like. This?
Looks like you raised your son properly. Seems like a real nice guy. Glad to see him and his cool boots in the video.
My heart sank a little when I thought your son was carrying that iron bed to the dumpster.😊 You guys work well together.
Hey Skeeter!!! Small world 🙂
@@ladycymbeline Hi Lady! It’s true! I see friends on all types of interests.🥰
@@TheSkeetergirl So happy we cross paths here and on the Markel case 🙂 yay!
@@ladycymbeline Me too.😊
I couldn't believe it when I saw that bed go to the dumpster that's the one thing I would have kept I would love to have it
WOW, you all got so much accomplished. You two will always have wealth, because you are not afraid of hard work. That was gross, but you all did what had to be done. Your viewers are blessed to see this work in progress. Even the dog had fun. God bless.
Thanks so much! 😊
Gross yes.... but nothing compared to the abandoned bunker... rt?😅😂😅😂
Well said indeed!
As a middle aged, never married man, you two offer a lot of inspiration for how a marriage can really work if two people share a common vision. I know other married couples who merely exist together, and some who despise their spouses. Thanks for sharing your lives and journey. Looking forward to see what happens with this house, it’s a simple layout but the setting along with some of you and Dave’s practical ideas could turn into a very nice home.
The "Deep thoughts with Brooke and Dave" had me in tears 😂😂 I had to rewind and watch it again.
What a team all you were on that clean out! Excited to see what's to come!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@therealgirlinthewoods I did too! That was hilarious!
I love your guys’ adventures. Thanks for sharing bits of your life with all of us folks!
Thanks for watching!
Love seeing the progress on your abandoned cabin! Great find on the coffee table! Thanks for sharing all that you do, Brooke!
Thanks for watching!
Love the boomerang table - it doesn’t look like it would be too hard to restore. I can also imagine how pretty that kitchen table would look once Brooke gets her creative hands on it.
That table is super cool!
I don’t know but it looks like a Heywood Wakefield piece
I wouldn't touch it until you have a pro tell ya it's value. hate to see you clean $$$ away
The beds you are throwing around would be good to donate. Please don't trash what can be used. Thank you.
Having rebuilt a house recovered from 1920, and built one from scratch, I see what a mom and dad put into the property.
Thank you for getting a great deal, but I see what they did for their children.
You guys have a lot of work ahead of you but you also got a lot done. That bug was a cockroach. Great video.
I love your respect for nature and the relocation of the unusual bug.
That was a roach.
That unusual bug was a wood roach. I meant to post about that.😊
Yep, this Texas girl agrees that’s a wood roach.
In Las Vegas we get those roaches. They can take over quickly.
I would have squished it. I don't normally squish bugs but that's a cockroach, and there is no such thing as one in a house. They are probably millions.
Omgoodness!! There are some real mid century modern treasures in that home!! The dining room table is beautiful not to mention the boomerang table and ceiling light. NICE!!
The bug you saved looked like a good old fashion cockroach 🪳
You guys did such a great job of cleanup! I can definitely see the potential!
Thanks so much! 😊
I absolutely love the boomerang table.
Such hard working people, you deserve so much.
The Little Puppy Turned out A Beautiful Dog” & Very Smart..😄
I am in LOVE with the boomerang table! They are highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors. There were actually quite a few pieces that are highly desired, like the kitchen chairs (the turquoise ones), but I couldn’t tell what condition they were in. The white vanity in the bedroom is another one, but sadly the mirror was broken (still desired though). I also liked the kitchen light & table! This place was like a time capsule! Brooke is so brave tasting the spaghetti sauce. I am a crazy person regarding food freshness, lol.
Happy birthday to your son! Can't wait to see the future of the property. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Awesome video. Good to see your son helping out. That bug...it's a cockroach.
I was yelling at the screen, Cockroach, kill it!
Yep..thought so. We have some like that here in NZ
Of the roach, your teen helper said, "I'll go put him somewhere." I adore that young man! If he's your's, great parenting! 💖
Thanks for the laughs ♥️ love you guys!
I'm so glad you kept your safety masks on. Who knows what creepy crud has built up in there over the years! You are one brave crew!
I really like your and Dave's positivity. So much potential that you both realize!
She's definitely a good worker.
For some reason your cleanout videos are so satisfying to watch! Can't wait to see what you make of this property!❤
Yeah, that Lane table was a great find. Loved the moments of deep thoughts, reflection and sage advice. 😄 Happy Belated 18th birthday! To your son. I'm amazed at how you guys tackle these projects. Take care and God bless.
Thanks so much!
Awesome job cleaning out the house! That yellow table is pretty cool, glad you guys kept it!
Awe. How sweet is your son to relocate that bug safely. Shows his values and no surprise with Brooke and Dave as parents 💙
That bug was a cockroach.
@@gametime2473lol I laughed. Some people huh? Relocated a dam cochroach. 😂
If Dave and Brooke decide to turn the porcupine lodge into a home. They might consider an addition. Pull the bump out off the back and put in a basement with a small addition. The basement would become the mechanical room with the radiant heat boiler, water heater, solar system (inverter, batteries, etc.), pump, generator transfer switch, plumbing and other things. On top would be a normal bathroom with flush toilet and hot and cold running water. Imitation log cabin siding and a couple of screen porches (one with room for a bench freezer) would dramatically improve Its appearance and curb appeal.
I loved the porcupine poop casserole. Lol. You all did a fabulous job cleaning that mess up, Brooke. I can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing.
You all amaze me. Congrats on this great find of land and house as well as the treasures. Happy Birthday to your son.
thanks!
I think that "Deep Thoughts with Dave and Brooke Whipple " should be a regular thing in all of your future episodes. That was so fun !
Bahaha yessss
@@therealgirlinthewoods ❤
That dovetail table was into the value.
that vanity is a treasure!! My great grandmother had one in the same style. I used to love playing dress up at it. I was one of the few who was lucky enough to have her great grandmother until I was 24. Every time I see a vintage vanity in that style I smile.
Y’all are a hoot! I really enjoyed the deep thoughts segment, Moose’s zoomies and the curtains in need of fabric softener 😂 Thanks for sharing your hard work with us!
Those curtains cracked me up😂
lol thanks
All those thermal curtains needed, was to be washed on gentle or delicate cycle and hung to dry.
Can't wait to see what you do with this cool old house. Happy Birthday to your son! Moose is so adorable.
Really anxious to see the tree cleared, and the building secured against weather! It often kinda breaks my heart when people's homes are lost to the elements. I'm frequently curious about the backstories
go to my hubby's channel Bushradical
Great job Brooke and Dave! I love watching this series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brooke, You guys always tackle everything with a positive attitude. Even if it gets stripped down to the studs. It’ll be the BEST studs you have to work with! Thanks for always inspiring us.👍
What!?!?...An abandoned old house on RUclips that isn't haunted? Amazing.
Brooke you and Dave work so good together ! I enjoy seeing you both.Your son is getting big!
Take care and be safe.
Ted from Montana
Way cool ! Enjoying watching the process. Can't wait to see the finished product. You're doing great on cleaning it all out
Thanks 👍
That boomerang table is so cool. Refinished you could get around $2,000.00! Woo hoo! what a find. Congrats!😀
That coffee table was an amazing find! $1800.00 score.
I love watching both yours and Dave's videos of the same adventure and with different perspectives. You both have valuable content to share with the rest of the world. ❤
Now, if your kids could do a video from their perspective, that'd be fun for the whole family.
Happy birthday to your son! Three hard working Whipples wiped out all that junk in a jiffy! Love the dining table set! It just looks like it belongs in a Brooke & Dave cabin! The cool coffee table, too! So much potential in that 800 sf. Can't wait for the next phase! God bless!!!
Handsome young man. You guys were blessed in raising him!
Love the family bonding!!🤣🤣🤣
Brooke, I love this project. This house and property have such exciting promise. I'll be happy to see the work you put into this especially since you are so artistic. It is an ugly duckling now, but with your artistry and Dave's talent it will be come a Phoenix rising. Just keep some pliers handy in case Moose decides to get nosey with the resident porcupine. YEOCH!!!
yeah i need to relocate him, or "Phil" as dave has named him LOL
@@therealgirlinthewoods I m so surprised you didn't set up your tent and stay there until you had it done. I've to watch those.
Eviction day has arrived ... both for the local 'Porkies and the youngest Whipple :) Thanks for bringing us along for the fun! Enjoy the journey, Brooke ... Stay safe and God Bless
Love it! We looked at 5 acres with an old, old double wide mobile home on it. The guy selling the property called the mobile a "fixer upper" I told him it was a "burner downer!" Which is what he ended up doing with it!
Table is a pecan wood, midcentury modern by Lane. We had several pieces. Worth restoring!
Team work makes the dream work baby!! You guys did good raising these kids!! It's cool to see!
Y'all knocked it out for a fact !! Can't wait for part 3. Blessings. 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
That cast iron bed was worth money. That Table as well
Nice how well you all work together, get along and all have a great sense of humor! That’s the way to get things done!😊
I was oddly worried about that boomerang coffee table when I spotted it. So happy you're keeping that and the kitchen table.
Once upon a time, that was a nice little cabin. Can't wait to see it once you're through with it.
That must have been quite a fancy cabin in its day. I can’t get over how much the three of you got done in 5 hours. You guys are incredible.
I love it when you remember that this mess is someone's broken dream .
...NICE JOB OF CLEANING UP. KEEP SAFE
Thanks 👍
Pretty cool when you can find something of value on a property that you've just purchased. The table is a work of art! It's going to look amazing when it's cleaned up.
Anyone else find it interesting how the porcupines seemed to choose the roaster to poop in? Kinda like cats and litter boxes. Didn't know they did that.
LOL i knowww
That was a LOT of work. A LOT of work. It does have a lot of potential. The boomerang table is the treasure there.
God bless you Brooke and Dave. The curtains cracked me up. I think you would be hard pressed to find any better curtains. They are some stiff competition. Yep. Dad jokes for the win! I love the house. I have no doubt when you both are finished it will be an enormous blessing! Love in Christ!
LOL
Great work, my goodness, what a wonderful team you all make! I LOVED the "deep thought" part, ha, ha! God's continued blessings on you all! ❤
The respirators bring me back to when my wife and I bought our abandoned off grid camp. We spent two weekends wearing them while cleaning. Place is only accessible by UTV so cleanup was a bear. 5 weekends, 42 contractor bags of trash, and 2 pickup trucks of scrap metal later we had it clean enough to spend a night. Enjoy your rebuild!!
I lived in a mobile home for a minute in the 70s, it had the gold version of those green plastic cabinets.
Hello Brooke and Dave♡♡
The abandon house looks so much better that you three cleaned and cleared it all out😊. What an awedome job.
Yep you saved some nice peices Brooke. Happy 18th Birthday to your son🥳🎉🎈🎉🥳. Looking forward to the next video!🦋🍎
So much potential! Happy for you guys!
That's the kid of buildings my Mom's parents would restore. I remember al the relatives saying, they bought another dump. Give them time, and their love to work hard, and they always finished with a dreamy little cabin in the woods. They also owned an Antique Store, so hey always had the best items for interior finishing. I have many fond memories of all the different places they restored, and each one was heavenly when completed. I just love what you do!!!!!!!
That boomerang table sells for $500-1800 depending where you look!! 😮😮
This is so exciting, to see what will become of this find! Y'all are workhorses and Happy Birthday to your son!!!
I hope you keep the curtains like Dave said in another vlog ❤ I can tell that was, once a happy cozy home, there seems to be joy and happiness in those curtains 💜can't wait to see, what a beautiful home you'll create!, it's so much fun watching the process, the suspense of what it will look like!
My Grandparents had one of those dinner tables with the leafs and 4 chairs back in the early 60s. That brought back a memory seeing those. Although Grandma's was wood finished and not painted. Might want to let an antique dealer check it.
You've found a Diamond in the rough there alright!
Looking forward to seeing your restoration. 😊
Told you you'd find treasure table, just didnt think it would be an actual table. Date will be on the back. Worth anywhere between $1200-$2800 depending how you process it. Great find.
Please do not restore it until you find out more about it sometimes that will devalue it depending upon the purchaser……. just my silly opinion thanks for the video been looking forward to your new project…….. you and Dave are awesome keep it up!!! ❤
@@dancooney8188 hello from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel! 2e are soon moving to the countryside!
It's always nice to watch both of your videos and see the different perspectives.
Your son seems like such a good soul! ❤
Corgi zoomies are hilarious lol.
What an undertaking!! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Great progress today. Thanks for sharing. God bless you both.
I find it fascinating that the house was abandoned with sheets and blankets on the beds. And I'm glad you all wore decent respirators for the cleanup.
And so in one day we get the ins and outs of the Whipples latest property venture. And added into the mix is 18yr old enticed by a 100 dollar bill. LOL I'm so glad the grson I just raised isn't the only one who's motivated to help the oldies by adding to his finances 😂😂😂 You all did a terrific job and the future is going to be AWE.....SOME ....!!!!!!!
THANKS for swinging by to pick us all up so we could all be there to share in the start of this journey with you. Blessings til we meet again from Ipswich Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏✌️👍👏🇺🇲
You all have done such an awesome job.. it doesn't even look like the same cabin.. thank you Brooke for sharing.
Nice score on the Lane table, more than worth it to restore. I'm a wood worker now after a forced medical retirement and finds like that are rare. That walnut needs to be saved ASAP. Do it justice and I would love to see a video on the restoration project.
Cool thanks
I absolutely love your videos. You've given me inspiration to want to live a simple lifestyle. Much love from Cleveland Ohio
Some of those çurtains would make good pillow covers for antique swings and quilts
Brookie is the dumpster queen! She's the bomb! 😊
Great job cleaning and the dog is precious 🐕🐕
I'm always baffled as to why a family walks away leaving everything as those they're coming right back...so weird
Health, death…
prob a vay cay cabin
.. lt could have been a place to vacation, kids grew up and lived far away.
So sad
My son got the giggles when moose had the zoomies. Lol hes 2 loves dogs. 😂
Wow, it looks so much bigger now that all the trash is out of there. Great job!
I can’t wait to see what you do with this. I’m sure it will be interestingly fantastic ✌️
Great job cleaning it up. It looks less creepy. Congratulations on the treasure finds. ❤
I like that you showed all the items you saved, either to keep, sell or donate! I agreed with them all. ☺️
I knew there would be salvageable pieces worth it for someone! Nice job guys! Oh and happy birthday kiddo!
