I noticed in a bedroom and bathroom the owners had replaced the lighting fixtures with "canister lights" as well as a microwave on the floor. This could date the last occupancy in the 1970's or 1980's (?). 8 children? This would have made for some tough family dynamics - the kids likely wanted to get away from old memories (: Anyone with children could take a lesson from this - stop and think about how much your parents sacrificed their lives for you - repay them someway before you lose them forever.
You took the wrong path, found another abandoned building, and didn't even take a look at it. I'm sad. But I understand, you probably didn't have the time, and this house was absolutely worth seeing. It was also one of your most dangerous explores. Be careful and stay safe.
I am almost 67 years old. As you grow older you start to realise that things are just things. Not important. People are the most important aspects of life when you are old. When my elderly mother died, I only kept about 5% of her stuff, crystal glasses, some jewellery, photos, a few ornaments and important family papers. Everything else was given away to her friends and the house completely emptied and renovated ready to be a rental property. When I die, my children will probably dispose of 95% of my accumulated stuff as well. You can't take it with you and they already have their own collection of "stuff".
Yes if the house coukd nt sell there's plenty of memories to take.id of had that house for 5 euros even if I coukd nt restore it,just the land it's on alone would be worth it.i so wished I lived in a hot country in Europe, I know it gets to hot bit seeing the sun rise and set in one day is such a dream for me
It’s nice to have mementos of previous generations to pass on. Photos and items that have a story behind it. Not just money. Funny people love to go to thrift stores to recycle stuff rather than buying new, plastic cheap stuff
The big wooden screws are not supporting the beams, the screws are attached to the beams so those big wooden wheels (on the previous room) can roll horizontaly, (like music discs) against each other and squeeze the grapes to produce wine. The other beautiful machine is to make flour to bake corn (or other cereal) bread. Dani is the best!
@@patstokes7040 I believe this house has at least 2 moments in time. The stone basement and the 1st floor are more ancient than the 2nd and attick. We can see it in the age, size a d cut of the wooden beams. Plus, the bricks and roof tiles are recent in Portugal like 60 70 years ago. The ancient portuguese tile has a single half 'tube" and it is hand made. I would risk to say more than 150 years the down part of the house and 70 de upper levels, would you agree?
My ow my, everytime I watch one of your episodes, For some reason,.. I picture myself living in each and every home and what it must've been like. Sometimes I can't help but cry. For the lives that have passed on. Who's stories, trials, sufferings, happiness, love and lives are nothing that will be remembered. It all boils down to the things we do that change whatever we can for the good of everyone, and making the world a better place for the ones that will inherit it after our time is up. I have a longing to know the stories behind the walls that held so my secrets. Never to be told. I swear I am able to feel the longing of the walls for people to occupy the rooms and give life to it once again. Thx u for documenting all the wonderful places you are. Every one offers something so different. I am forever thankful you have given these walls a way to show the lives that once lived behind them. A timeless offering to days gone by although silent, says so much about the days it was cherished. From dust we came to dust we shall return.
That was definitely a toaster. My parents had one like that in their lake camp back in the 1960s. The problem was it only toasted one side of the bread at a time. You had to open it, flip the bread over, and toast the other side!
What a fantastic place and in such a beautiful setting too. An absolutely wonderful explore Leslie. Heads up to Danny too. All the best from Buenos Aires! 👍🏻
Very nice! Portugal has similar weather to Southern California where I am. I could imagine sitting on that balcony with a glass of wine. Beautiful view.
I love seeing how people lived and the work they did to make a living. My great grandparents owned a vineyard in Hungary. Can’t even imagine the work necessary to make wine. Amazing video!!
Took a moment from hyper kids, from the chaos of the world, and immersed myself here in the mountains of Portugal, in the Silva's house. It was beautiful and I didn't want to leave it.
WOW Lesley and Danny , my dear friends, what a wonderful and poetical start of your video in combination with these beautiful drone shots! You are such an exceptional narrator, and it's a pure pleasure to listen to you. - Also thank you for taking us viewers on this once more phantastic tour through this abandoned house of the Portuguese Silva family. - I enjoyed every second of your video, and you really made my evening! The house had a very strong time capsule vibe. Everything looked so genuine. - Of course I loved seeing as well Danny in your video, because he is an amazing tour guide and has also good knowledge about historical facts. - Wonderful explore, dear Lesley, bro! - These old photo portraits of the former owners were amazing to see, and added to the special atmosphere of this location. - I am glad you and Danny didn't fall through that wobbly floor. - It was again once more touching to see how much tenderness and sensitivity you were showing when approaching the possible life of the former inhabitants. - That's, what I love so much in your videos, and it's exactly this attitude, that makes your videos so unique!! - I hope, you are well. Stay safe, and take care! Lots of greetings also to your adorable brother Jordy. - Blessings, peace and kindest regards from sunny Switzerland.
There’s not enough bedrooms for 10 people you say? ☺️ Not long ago, a family I know about, with 8 kids, lived in a 3 bedroom apartment. I remember a guy who was an only child, said to the family’s 16 year old son: «OMG, how can you live like that, you have no privacy!» (in a quite snarky tone). Then the 16 year old replied: «When I’m old enough to really need privacy, I’ll have my own place.». I remember we laughed so well, because the only child became all silent and his mouth was hanging open... ☺️ I think the cat got his tongue and he realized that the kid was sooo right. People can adjust and live according to their means and the standard so many expect today, where each child has their own bedroom (and preferably on suite bathroom), really isn’t *needed*. Kids do fine sharing a room and many kids actually love sharing a room and sleeping in bunk beds - actually there is a lot to be learned from sharing rooms! So many of us nowadays are way too spoiled, IMO (just to be clear, I am not saying you are, don’t think that at all). 😊
That's what I love about you Guys.You are so respectful of the memories of the people who lived there.Not like some people who go in a destroy the place.Keep up the good work and we love you Guys too.
Same here Ronald, When I was young-er, My true Love and I would explore everything we could. We made so many great and exciting memories. Alis she has passed on now I feel like one of these grand old places, so many stories to tell but no ears to listen. I am very thankful for these young men and the wonderful productions. Peace.
What a lovely place.... the children must have wonderful memories growing up hopefully... but kids don’t always following in their parents job of making wine.... sad to see it go to waste... but that’s life, it will reclaim and breakdown what’s left .... Thankyou for sharing guys ... 💓
I just wanted to say I appreciate how much you think your family matters to people and appreciation they should have for their families lineage the fact that most of them don't doesn't make sense to you're a man of value and good taste
Hi Leslie & Dhani, the painting stand is called an easel and the man in the photo his sideburns are called mutton chops ! I love your explorations ! You need to buy cargo pants or safari pants they detach at the knee so long pants become shorts ! Stay safe. , be well. Best to Jordy !!!!
Hello Lesley and Danny! Amazing place. 😞Now it is bad conditions and the nature reclaimed the house. Sad the children's not sale the father's home. I am love the tablecloth in the kitchen and round tablecloth in the living room made in crochet for the wife of the owner. Thank you for sharing your adventure in Portugal definitely different to other countries! Please stay safe . Hugs for all 👋🇺🇸😘👍😍😷💖
Hi both what a long walk to get to this house ,it’s amazing,so many untouched things on see .You always find sowing machines . They must of needed 3 fridges for all of them .I find it sad ,that the children haven’t done anything with it .The lounge is lovely,nice to see pictures,you get to sense who lived their ,loved the three chairs .thank you for taking us around with you much love Ann ukxx
That was one of the most interesting places you've explored to date - absolutely fascinating. Must have been stunning way back when. The large wine bottle covered with raffia is a flagon. Hope you let the bat 🦇 out? Thanx for a super explore. Gill 🇬🇧
The last building was an antique olive oil refinery. The olives go in the the big area at the top of the building, heavy wood slats are placed over the olives, the heavy timbers 'held up' by the screws are lowered onto the wood they placed on top of the olives by turning the screws, the heavy stone blocks on the bottom floor are hung from those timbers held up by the screws to add more weight to press the olive oil out of the olives. The olive oil then runs from the spout upstairs into the holding tank below, where it is graded and barreled. The glass casks you found in the house are for olive oil, not wine. He sold olive oil to support his family. That is a very large olive press, capable of pressing tons and tons of olives. I love your videos!!
There is currently a reality TV show about twin sisters, Darcy and Stacy Silva and their dad, Mike Silva on TLC 90 day fiancé in the US. Wonder if they are somehow related? For the price, no matter the chore of getting to and from the place it would have been fun to buy and renovate the home. It has so much potential. I too love the characteristic Portuguese bench’s seen in the halls of the old homes. They are each unique and pretty. Very typically Portuguese. If I see one in an antiques shop I will know of its origin. Thank you guys for taking us on wonderful trips around the world and for educating us!! God bless you and many safe travels!!! ❤️
You are so respectful of the places you explore. It is so sad that all those beautiful pieces of furniture cannot be brought out to antiques dealers! I cannot fathom leaving my family home in such decay!
In the USA we use to have cobblestone roads. They were laid during the depression to help give men jobs. They last forever. But now everything is blacked topped. I call them pie crust roads. They fall apart and get full of potholes very quickly after they are done putting them blacktopping the road(s).
I had to go and look that up... and it's true. I'm not watching an old vid from a few months ago. It's hot in Portugal right now, with 28* and 29* days forecast in the next week. Come do some exploring in Canada. It's nice and crisp here, with the leaves all turning beautiful fall colours :)
My dear dear friends thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. I got to say this, Lesley you crack me up and Danny I love you it is so much fun watching you two. Especially with the bats. You are amazing guide tours and my favorites to watch.
Loved this!!! Loved all of the wooden furniture & mirrors which I could rescue & restore! Sooo sad that it is going to be destroyed by nature 😔 Sooo loved all of the wine barrels, pottery & glass jugs in the basement! Very sad that some of the families haven’t come back for pictures or remembrances of the family 😔 Thank you for hiking sooo far, wading through the vegetation & walking on dangerous floorboards to bring us this awesome video! I appreciate you & your work!!! Thank you for sharing this with us, I loved it ❤️
Leslie you said the "F" word! 😆 I always imagine these houses when they were first built I see the families in them going about their lives. What was especially cool to me is when you looked at the grandfather clock and it was eight o' clock I then looked at my time and it was 8:03 As Always... →Wonderful Explore← 😊👍
That place needs reworked and restored as much as can be. This is amazing setup for home. Great antiques and secluded as it is..great. I would go see this..is it for sale?
A perfect place to raise a large family plenty of space for them to entertain themselves. I can imagine the mother making clothes with that sewing machine and the children outside playing or doing chores. I love it
Aww the memories in that place..Not that I care to much for bats but I hope you opened that door back up to let that bat out unless there is another way it can get out..
The ''namoradeira'' bench are always awesome... We still have them inside old houses here in Brazil, around 1850 or even before that... always interesting...
Hi Leslie and Danny. I liked the fancy room best. You should be more careful of the spiders than the poor little bats. I try to picture in my mind how that house looked when it was inhabited. Hope Jordy is feeling better. Be really careful in those houses that are wobbly. Hope to see you soon. Lovely furniture.
Gosh what a shame ,the house had to be beautiful at one time and all that land. The beautiful furnishings,I think it’s so sad that the children didn’t care enough about their history to keep some of their parents belongings,I k ow I really care about things like that but I can see that some people really don’t !Mh daughter is like that ,she’s very minimalist and doesn’t want much !
Leslie you gave such love and appreciation for old furnishings and people s belongings and I really appreciate that. So many at your age just don’t and it’s very sad😊
Hey!! Guys!!! Bats are more afraid of you than you are of them. You woke them up. They sleep during the days. And they are adorable little mammals that are very necessary in nature.
I agree with you. I see many comments "did you let the bat out"? If the bat got in on it's own, it can get out on it's own. Just leave it be! Side note they really should be wearing a mask, bat guano can be toxic when inhaled. Assuming the bats have been living there a while the guys could be at risk.
I use to have a toaster like that, it was an antique given to me. Nice sewing machine. Silk flowers 💐 the guys sideburns were called chops.I remember those TV antennas. Wine glass jug bottle. In basement parts for wine making? Corn separator, grist mill? Nice explore.
What an amazing house definitely in need of repairs,but love the antique left behind.The bath tub is common called clawfoot. The older pink could be a calligraphy pin( usually used with an ink well).The house itself is in need of major Repairs,but would be a good retirement home,despite the rough roads leading up to its location.
Very beautiful! The wheels that you have found in the basement are grinding wheels (probably for grinding flour). There is a very important detail that is the toilet you found: before there was plumbing in the countryside, the "needs" were made in those toilets and the hole was directly to a deposit in the basement. There were also animals (cows and sheep) in the lowest part of the house (the basement). It kept the house warm. If you can tell me where it is ... if it is still for sale I will recover this house. Thanks PS You can find me in my facebook.
Hi Lesley, how did you arrive at the date of when the man passed ?? I noticed by the sink at 12:30 a product called Cillit Bang which was first launched in Hungary then Europe in 2003. What a cool find, it looks like they lived simply but in a big house. I loved the little balcony and that kitchen was also really nice. Those old cars and that wine cellar were a good find, you never know what you will come across in places like this. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖
Very interesting to see that place and get some information to the people who lived there. Also sad that somehow places like that are just left behind.
THANK U FOR SHARIN'! BEAUTIFUL HOME! THAT'S A SHAME THAT NONE OF THE DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF IT! I ENJOYED WATCHIN' THIS VIDEO!✝️📖🙏🕊️🤗👒💐🦋🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💖💖💖
Absolutely amazing find!!! Thank you Lesley & Danny for this wonderful tour! It's raining, I just had a hot bowl of chili & now I'm warm in my bed! In San Antonio, Tx.! 😘😘
Hey Les, liked this as all your douc's. Why you n Jordie, not filming hardly together anymore? You n Danny, be Safe n Careful. Ms.Kathey from Tucson Az, much Love.
So now you know he was a little ole wine maker and with 8 kids he probably needed a bottle or 2 for himself. Just took my imagination about this family to a whole other level..great find
The two ound wooden templates with channels on it is made for building old wagon wheels. The wooden pegs would be laid in and the outer ring would be hammered in place, then the metal ring would be fitted. Pretty cool place.
Why? It's not trapped? It got in there before they were there, and can get out when they're gone. It sleeps there during day and goes out at night. Saw the big vent in the kitchen? For the stove. That's most likely where it gets in and out 😉
I loved this place. I always feel a little sad when I see a place that no one loves anymore.

I agree !! Houses need love and people at all times.
I noticed in a bedroom and bathroom the owners had replaced the lighting fixtures with "canister lights" as well as a microwave on the floor. This could date the last occupancy in the 1970's or 1980's (?). 8 children? This would have made for some tough family dynamics - the kids likely wanted to get away from old memories (:
Anyone with children could take a lesson from this - stop and think about how much your parents sacrificed their lives for you - repay them someway before you lose them forever.
You took the wrong path, found another abandoned building, and didn't even take a look at it. I'm sad. But I understand, you probably didn't have the time, and this house was absolutely worth seeing.
It was also one of your most dangerous explores. Be careful and stay safe.
It is so sad that the kids didn't have or care about their family history as I saw a lot of things that I would have kept to pass down to my children.
I am almost 67 years old. As you grow older you start to realise that things are just things. Not important. People are the most important aspects of life when you are old. When my elderly mother died, I only kept about 5% of her stuff, crystal glasses, some jewellery, photos, a few ornaments and important family papers. Everything else was given away to her friends and the house completely emptied and renovated ready to be a rental property. When I die, my children will probably dispose of 95% of my accumulated stuff as well. You can't take it with you and they already have their own collection of "stuff".
It costs too much in taxes
Yes if the house coukd nt sell there's plenty of memories to take.id of had that house for 5 euros even if I coukd nt restore it,just the land it's on alone would be worth it.i so wished I lived in a hot country in Europe, I know it gets to hot bit seeing the sun rise and set in one day is such a dream for me
We're they taken out? I don't know. I think many were without the world knowing. That's sad.
It’s nice to have mementos of previous generations to pass on. Photos and items that have a story behind it. Not just money. Funny people love to go to thrift stores to recycle stuff rather than buying new, plastic cheap stuff
The big wooden screws are not supporting the beams, the screws are attached to the beams so those big wooden wheels (on the previous room) can roll horizontaly, (like music discs) against each other and squeeze the grapes to produce wine.
The other beautiful machine is to make flour to bake corn (or other cereal) bread.
Dani is the best!
thanks for sharing those vital info - goodtoknow!
I think this house is centuries old and they aren't even aware of it. Hand cut and hand dressed stone. Wouldn't we love to know the dates.
@@patstokes7040 I believe this house has at least 2 moments in time. The stone basement and the 1st floor are more ancient than the 2nd and attick. We can see it in the age, size a d cut of the wooden beams. Plus, the bricks and roof tiles are recent in Portugal like 60 70 years ago. The ancient portuguese tile has a single half 'tube" and it is hand made.
I would risk to say more than 150 years the down part of the house and 70 de upper levels, would you agree?
Wow! That is fascinating! If only they can be restored and demonstrated to our current generation.

Such a cool explore. What a beautiful setting it is on. Thanks for the tour of this very old, but very exciting place.
I'm in love with your voice 🙂
Danny - thank you for helping Lesley. You make a formidable pair of explorers!
There is currently a reality TV show about twin sisters, Darcy and Stacy Silva and their dad, Mike Silva on TLC 90 day fiancé in the US. Wonder if they are somehow related? For the price, no matter the chore of getting to and from the place it would have been fun to buy and renovate the home. It has so much potential.

So small family business was closed. This farm is cool . wine or potatoes could be grown there. I love this setting.
Well done boys finding this amazing place and sharing it with us all love to you both from uk stay safe and well till the next find xxx

Please,go back,along the hot dry dusty road,to the house,to let the bat out,of the room !!! lol,,great video, be safe.xxx
shirley coles funny, I was thinking the same, don’t lock the poor bat inside!
Me too about letting the bat out but he’ll prolly find his way out since he has perfect etiolation and can also make his way in the dark!
this house is really beautiful in each and every detail in it . it's the second time i watch a video of this house and i can watch it everyday!
Very unique house. Love this place.
Hopefully members of the family see this and come back for memories
What a amazing place this would have been in 1920! Now it's abandoned. Seems like the days of large estates is over. Thanks!!
I had to go and look that up... and it's true. I'm not watching an old vid from a few months ago. It's hot in Portugal right now, with 28* and 29* days forecast in the next week. Come do some exploring in Canada. It's nice and crisp here, with the leaves all turning beautiful fall colours :)
Most of the time I find these relaxing but today I was just on edge the whole time because it was way too unsafe.
Just loved this house. I would have gladly bought it. Love the fact it is in the middle of nowhere. Thank you Lesley.
Thank you for all your hard work to show us this new house and the history of it.💖
Leslie & Dani can't believe you don't fine any snakes in dry climate. Give kudos to your parents for teaching you about antiques. Wonderful find!
Amazing piece of history. Thank you for showing a country home of a farming family.
God bless you! Thank you! 🤗
That big round wheel looks like a river wheel to make energy I'm not sure I'm remembering old movies 😉
Wowwwww. I loved every minute and every inch of this place! Thank you both!
My dear dear friends thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. I got to say this, Lesley you crack me up and Danny I love you it is so much fun watching you two. Especially with the bats. You are amazing guide tours and my favorites to watch.
This home was amazing! Such a shame it has gone to ruin...
Loved this!!! Loved all of the wooden furniture & mirrors which I could rescue & restore! Sooo sad that it is going to be destroyed by nature 😔 Sooo loved all of the wine barrels, pottery & glass jugs in the basement! Very sad that some of the families haven’t come back for pictures or remembrances of the family 😔 Thank you for hiking sooo far, wading through the vegetation & walking on dangerous floorboards to bring us this awesome video!

Leslie you said the "F" word! 😆
I always imagine these houses when they were first built I see the families in them going about their lives. What was especially cool to me is when you looked at the grandfather clock and it was eight o' clock
I then looked at my time and it was 8:03
As Always...

Was a pretty scary moment 🤣 normally I never sweat 🤭

I'm the same way. 😊
@@BrosOfDecay We all have a tense moment ,a slip of the tongue. TAKE care be safe Leslie,and Danny.😙🖒
That place needs reworked and restored as much as can be. This is amazing setup for home. Great antiques and secluded as it is..great. I would go see this..is it for sale?
A perfect place to raise a large family plenty of space for them to entertain themselves. I can imagine the mother making clothes with that sewing machine and the children outside playing or doing chores. I love it
Aww the memories in that place..Not that I care to much for bats but I hope you opened that door back up to let that bat out unless there is another way it can get out..
The ''namoradeira'' bench are always awesome... We still have them inside old houses here in Brazil, around 1850 or even before that... always interesting...
Hi Leslie and Danny. I liked the fancy room best. You should be more careful of the spiders than the poor little bats. I try to picture in my mind how that house looked when it was inhabited. Hope Jordy is feeling better. Be really careful in those houses that are wobbly. Hope to see you soon. Lovely furniture.
I am glad you're not alone this time.in that huge castle it was quite scary.
Gosh what a shame ,the house had to be beautiful at one time and all that land. The beautiful furnishings,I think it’s so sad that the children didn’t care enough about their history to keep some of their parents belongings,I k ow I really care about things like that but I can see that some people really don’t !Mh daughter is like that ,she’s very minimalist and doesn’t want much !
Leslie you gave such love and appreciation for old furnishings and people s belongings and I really appreciate that. So many at your age just don’t and it’s very sad😊
Hey!! Guys!!! Bats are more afraid of you than you are of them. You woke them up. They sleep during the days. And they are adorable little mammals that are very necessary in nature.
I agree with you. I see many comments "did you let the bat out"? If the bat got in on it's own, it can get out on it's own. Just leave it be!
Side note they really should be wearing a mask, bat guano can be toxic when inhaled. Assuming the bats have been living there a while the guys could be at risk.
This place is wonderful and really enjoyed it very much. Leslie and Danny you be very careful. I love, love watching your videos thank you so much.
I use to have a toaster like that, it was an antique given to me. Nice sewing machine. Silk flowers 💐 the guys sideburns were called chops.I remember those TV antennas. Wine glass jug bottle. In basement parts for wine making? Corn separator, grist mill? Nice explore.
Incredible find. Always enjoy the history and background of your explores. Thank you.
What an amazing house definitely in need of repairs,but love the antique left behind.The bath tub is common called clawfoot. The older pink could be a calligraphy pin( usually used with an ink well).The house itself is in need of major Repairs,but would be a good retirement home,despite the rough roads leading up to its location.
Nice video as usual and yes you do have a calming voice thanks enjoyed it !!!
A beautiful story of an amazing family. Thank you for sharing it with us. God bless you both.
Thankyou for showing us this beautiful home such a shame when families fight over their inheritance
I enjoyed it very much Lesley and nice to see Danny xxx
Very beautiful! The wheels that you have found in the basement are grinding wheels (probably for grinding flour). There is a very important detail that is the toilet you found: before there was plumbing in the countryside, the "needs" were made in those toilets and the hole was directly to a deposit in the basement. There were also animals (cows and sheep) in the lowest part of the house (the basement). It kept the house warm.
If you can tell me where it is ... if it is still for sale I will recover this house. Thanks
PS You can find me in my facebook.
Hi Lesley, how did you arrive at the date of when the man passed ?? I noticed by the sink at 12:30 a product called Cillit Bang which was first launched in Hungary then Europe in 2003. What a cool find, it looks like they lived simply but in a big house. I loved the little balcony and that kitchen was also really nice. Those old cars and that wine cellar were a good find, you never know what you will come across in places like this. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖
Wow! Another beautiful place ❤️
Very interesting to see that place and get some information to the people who lived there. Also sad that somehow places like that are just left behind.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey. So glad you dud not fall through the floor. 🌻

I saw my family name in the title and had to watch. Thank you for this lovely video. What wonderful adventures you have.
Absolutely amazing find!!! Thank you Lesley & Danny for this wonderful tour! It's raining, I just had a hot bowl of chili & now I'm warm in my bed! In San Antonio, Tx.! 😘😘
Hey Les, liked this as all your douc's. Why you n Jordie, not filming hardly together anymore? You n Danny, be Safe n Careful. Ms.Kathey from Tucson Az, much Love.
Fas tempo q assisto vc aqui d Brasil,achei a casa linda,pena q esta suja e abandonada
I wish that there was a picture of what the place looked like before in those pictures in the house.
I love the way you narrate and adore your voice, you are creative .... I like the video and I like the place, how wonderful it is
Leslie with gloves, bravo🥰😚
Me fascino la bañera y la vegetación entrando por la ventana...y
y Todooo.
So now you know he was a little ole wine maker and with 8 kids he probably needed a bottle or 2 for himself. Just took my imagination about this family to a whole other level..great find
Omg Lesley, the part where you stopped the video and corrected yourself was hilarious!! I literally LOL’ed.
Woow beautiful place 😍
The two ound wooden templates with channels on it is made for building old wagon wheels. The wooden pegs would be laid in and the outer ring would be hammered in place, then the metal ring would be fitted. Pretty cool place.
Did you release the trapped bat before leaving?
I was thinking the same thing!
Why? It's not trapped? It got in there before they were there, and can get out when they're gone. It sleeps there during day and goes out at night. Saw the big vent in the kitchen? For the stove. That's most likely where it gets in and out 😉
The bat lives there it can get in or out
Exactly what I was worried about also!
@@morganhatfield1283 They closed it into a closed off room it looked like..
That was very interesting! Thank you for the tour!
Hey, my young friend. I LOVED this house, even in the remote location. SOLITUDE, Leslie. Great job today. Be safe with the virus. Love you, dude!!!
Wow! I bet that home was beautiful at one time.
Thanks for another video explore, stay safe guys!
Incredible explore. I don’t understand why family members let their home places fall into destruction.
