Best find so far is Hans... good help is priceless
Amein to that !
Also a Pat's fan !
It’s Hans’ brother !!!
Hans is such a bro
Love this comment! Amen!
No matter how long these videos are, they are always too short!
NChant101-I know! I don't want them to end!
I know this is fun and just wow!
Thank you for not judging the old lady who lived there.
This is much better than what they show on TV. You show a no-nonsense process of clearing out a house without any fake drama.
Yes. No fake drama, which you see more and more these days.
I agree 💯 % w/ T.Alexander and Lynne Clark
I'm busy making these videos weekly, uploaded usually the day after filming so you are all up to date!
Curiosity Incorporated....curious at 11:32 of the video looks like the sliding glass door is open some, really hoping that’s just a picture of a creepy lady looking like she’s watching you go through that room 😱😳
Totally appreciate it 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I burst out laughing at the enthusiasm makes the difference book/face.
Curiosity Incorporated , thank you I like your videos. Just the the yellow/orange room made me a little nauseous . I like the 70’s pants that you hold up in the baby blue room. Really nice pants.
Holy smokes! Those plaid pants at 27.56 made me wince, lol.
If you haven't already tossed the personal pictures and journals, keep them. An art biographer or historian would consider this stuff gold
I would first offer them to the family. It shouldn't be all about money
@@firstman9273 Why is the lady/artist/hoarder who previously owned the home deceased?
@@MindsetMastery75 an artist prominent in the 70s would probably have been at least 25 at that time, so that would be 74 right now, average lifespan is around 72, and they could well have been older, coupled with no one having been in the house for quite some time (evident from the mess) along with mention in the previous video of family having said they didn't think much pottery was in the house because they got it all that would strongly suggest the previous owner is in fact dead, or living in a retirement home.
@@ithraldharzul6887 Oh believe me that thing you said about nobody living in that house recently because of it "being evident from the mess". Nooooo. Haven't you seen that show "Hoarders"? That is how they choose to live. They live right inside all of that mess. I have actually seen hoarders even worse than her that actually barely have room enough to lay down because there was so much junk in their house but they still manage to do it. I am positive when she lived there, she slept right there amongst all that junk she loved! But you are probably right about her being dead. I kinda thought she was dead also. Just wondering if anyone knew for sure?
@@MindsetMastery75 Whether deceased or in a care home, the family would want the photos.
I have since learned through watching the other videos. That the youtuber does give the photos to the family. Also that she is still alive and pretty well. You should watch the other videos.
If I were you , before flipping the house I would run a metal detector over the entire property. Never know what might be hiding underground, either by accident or on purpose. Just a thought.
That's an awesome idea.
Yeah you never know what people bury I know I got stuff buried in 5 gallon soap buckets they can be buried for over 30 years and the plastic won't brake down.
Lol ll
Actually, his kids would have a fun time doing that !!
Also run a metal detector over the walls. People used to hide stuff in their walls too.
But does it spark joy?
😂😂😂😂
KON MARIE METHOD😂😂
Now THAT is funny!
That is meta kkkkkkkk
What?
This house reminds me of what happened when a friend of mine cleared out her aunt's house. The aunt was in her 90's, fell, had to go into assisted living. The aunt lived a "spartan" life and sometimes people from church would bring meals over. My friend was going to throw out a shoe box, decided it would be better to look inside and found the box full of money. Then there was the too-thick dishtowel that was two towels sewed together with money inside. My friend said, "...we lost count at $225,000". The money was invested and used to support the aunt and maybe also the aunt's sister.
That's the way so many elderly have done and still do out. Money stashed everywhere. 😳 It's crazy but a windfall for the one who inherits the mess. 👍
Is the $225,000 in Canadian money or US Dollars?
So many don't have a clue how inflation works...
@@kathykelley8086 This was U.S. dollars. I don't recall the precise year but it was in the 1980's. Maybe mid-1980's to my best recollection.
Yo creo que se quedó con el dinero 🤔
"Hans" is the best treasure in the entire house.
All Danes are pure treasures 😜😂😉🇩🇰
I love Hans the tree guy
Hans rocks, great accent
I know it's a hoard but since he purchased it and owns everything and not counting the junk that has to be cleaned out, opening all of these boxes reminds me of opening Presents! Even basic but interesting things are a nice find...
I agree! I would be so excited to go through that house as open all the boxes and see what cool stuff is there
Absolutely!
Totally and entirely like Christmas morning and then some🤗🥳😍🤩
Watching 3 years after the fact and still loving it!
Old wrapping paper is prized by Hollywood...they use it for authentic period movies. Think of flashback sequences of childhood Christmases.
That's wild...I was just thinking that a prop supply company would be a buyer of some of that dated stuff.
Can you really get much for it? I'd think that it would be easy to reproduce.
@@dffndjdjd depends on the scale of the productions, but some prop companies actually will purchase old wrapping paper instead of ordering reproductions. Mostly because it does end up being cheaper to do so.
@@dffndjdjd
@@VolatileSupernova Andrew is right tho, get ya head out ya ass
Literally had a shower, Pjs on, all snug in bed with a cup of tea & a bagel ready to sit down and enjoy this vid! Been waiting for it to drop, it’s like a new favourite show or something lol
Thank you so much! I’m glad that you are coming along for our adventure
LOL bet you felt like you needed another shower after watching that! Seeing all that dust and grime and the cobwebs just makes you feel grimey doesn't it! lol
I can totally relate. We often watch the episodes as a family at home! These episodes definitely rival any of the television based antiques shows!
@@poosmate lol yeah but I still enjoy it, it's kinda cathartic... Like watching hoarders or home makeover shows
Fucking dork!
I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying this! Please take us through the renovation of the house, too! Please!
Murl Thomas-YES, YES, YES!!!!!!
Definitely!!!
Yes I’d love that!
We inherited a hoarder's house, but they were super organized about it and hoarded for so long that they started using the hoard as structural support for more storage areas. We've been here 16 months and I've just now discovered the back of the utility room. Depression Era level hoarding is no joke.

Hi Adam, i wanted to tell you to NOT over clean any pottery you find as it is more valuable with the effects of the kiln firing left in tact. This is particularly true of pottery fired using primitive methods. As an art major from the dark ages (many years ago), and one who has fired pots using dung, tires, salt glaze and more standard and commercial kilns, it is best to leave the effects of the firing process intact. What may look like dirt might in fact be carbon or other effects of firing. A light dusting should suffice. If the future owner wants to clean it ,that is on them. Anyone familiar with primitive firing methods would want that. Thanks and I love your videos. Also be sure to open any windows or doors you can while cleaning. Invest in some passive electric heaters (don't over stress the electrical system without checking it out) and check out mold killers. Amonium Chloride is the best and can be bought retail as a product called Microban.
E mail this to him. He can't read every comment.
Look at Hans, hauling out that sofa all by himself. What a man.
Oooooh you better get margaret and hans together because someone may have a lil crush. ;-)
IKR? I'd say he's a pretty good Dane. I could call him great, but I'm from MN and we don't go in for such superlatives. But, ya know I can say, fer sure that he's perty good!
I love that you are finding her original sketches.
I know this was posted years ago but some of the pieces looked to be done with the Raku firing technique. It’s used with a quick reduction process with carbon material. when glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire (newspapers). This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen, which creates a myriad of colors within the glaze. So the newspaper hoarding most likely was apart of her pottery.
New viewer. I was very impressed by the sensitivity you showed toward the former occupant and her family. It must have been difficult not expressing some feelings as you went through that incredibly sad mess.
I totally agree with Ms Higgins. Your sensitivity is commendable.
@Max Payne hoarding is a fairly common symptom of mental illness specifically anxiety. You could learn some compassion and tact. But also i have hoarding tendencies so im sure you mean no harm and im just sensitive to the topic
In private perhaps he did do some emphatic expressing. HA!
We admire,Your methodical patience,you were meant to be in this profession.
This is better than watching a mystery show on TV. This is real life mystery show. Love what you are finding. Your mother law is just wonderful to help you. It is good to see you wife is good with you doing this. Hope you bring her next time to see the house.
CJ Hernandez Yes! So much better is right, I’d love to sort and go through stuff that hasn’t seen the light of day for awhile 😁😁
April 2023 here. I was mesmerized. A story with all the components of a novel; intrigue, tragedies, humour & revival. (so disappointed in mankind when a tenant treats property like they had-shameful) Being a Canadian channel & I lived in Alberta for awhile.. I ♥ it ! Sure beats my usual viewing of home reno jobs- your's is normal - no designer crap. Very unique. Loved your team members too.
Never clicked so fast ! ❤️ this series!
Kim Kirchmann SAME!!
Completely agree. And I love the longer videos too :)
Same here!!!
Fantastic! As you de-layer, your homeowner gets younger and younger. It's always very intriguing to see the life a person lived through their possessions. And in a strange way you have created a time machine that is honoring her life. Well done.
Re : the finding of the 78 rpm records , that’s where we got the modern term “Album” for when someone puts out a new LP or CD recording ....because they were originally issued in book type albums
After several weeks of digging, he opens a box at the bottom of a pile and finds a newspaper with yesterday's date on it
Dud-dun duuunnn!
What ? Timestamp pls.
@@dgh25 It's a joke.
r/writingprompts
sounds like an M. Night Shyamalan movie pitch.
What a great mother in law :)
Yes, I agree she is a gem!
Hats off to Hans and your Mother-in-law for helping you with this challenging job!
Watching you clear out this house makes me want to declutter mine!
Where I live we're having way-cold air from a polar vortex and I've been indoors cleaning and clearing things out and I'll be doing some shredding too. I think we're examples of great minds running in the same direction!
Me too. Unfortunately I need some help.
I wish I could be there to help out. I love going through things and sorting them for where they will go next and opening up space that had previously been filled. I hope you'll be able to find and work someone else who enjoys that kind of project.
@@andrewbrendan1579 that clutter may be insulating you from the cold cold air 😅
You know, kodiak, I've actually thought about how all the books that I have in boxes could really be good insulation! Thankfully where I live the temperature is to be up in the 50's F. Whew!
I love how she kept everything in boxes and bags. And boxes in bags. And bags in boxes. And boxes in boxes. And.... (you get the picture)
Very common among "savers". Even how she wrapped the jewelry is so common, makes me wonder why it's done essentially the same way by many. Interesting.
That’s what a hoarder does.
After watching parts 1, 2 and 3 I have now sub....well made, not too fast with the camera, respectful and indeed a bit exciting! Good Family Man, Environmentally Cautious...Very Caring about Donation and Re-usable, Resale, Re-purposing etc., Your intentions are transparent and Good...See you Next Week!
Thanks Wayne!
same!
Ohhh but ALEX seems to see more DOLLAR signs these days … pity !
@@CuriosityIncorporated VERY Welcome!
I love how she boxed things. Milk cartons😀💜
Typical of the Depression generation. They reused everything. My grandmother used to cut the elastic out of Grandpa's underwear to reuse as giant rubber bands for holding boxes closed.
I loved the milk carton packaging also.
Sharon Fauber Which will turn out to be collectible haha.
That amused me. For some reason I love old food packaging. I enjoy the designs and typography on them.
My grandma's house was stacked waist high with news papers. She had paths going everywhere. Fortunately she found a picture of her home before it was full of papers and decided that she wanted it to look like that again. So my uncle and cousin went down to help her clean it up. They hauled out 2 box trucks full of just news papers to be recycled.
Good thing she realized that on her own
@@CuriosityIncorporated yes it was. It made it much easier on my aunt when she went to clean out and sell the house last spring. My grandma is still alive and doing well for 92, she just has dementia. Fortunately my mom is able to care for her so she doesn't have to go to a nursing home.
I do not know how I found this series of videos but I am glued. It's like going on a treasure hunt without leaving my sofa. Thank you.
We absolutely adore you you are so kind caring person. You’re videos are awesome could watch you all day long thank you so much 😊🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thank you June :)
the shortest 48 minutes in my life thank you sir for make a good videos
Maybe he will one day realize the gift he has given the rest of us!
My husband's previous house had what he called "the dirt room" It was a crawl space hidden under the house. I was shocked at how much stuff was in there! It seemed that no matter what item I needed he would pull it out of the room! I started referring to the basement as the magic basement. Kind of like Mary Poppins bag. Yes, he is still a "collector "
I never imagined I could be so entertained watching someone clean out a house. WOW, I can't believe the family didn't even want the photos. I used to have one of those microscopes, they were great fun. Good work, Blessings.
Enthusiasm makes the difference - best scene in the video - LOL
It was awesome. Alex's expression/reaction took me by surprise. I got a good laugh!!
You know national geographic, old books, ledgers, letters, magizines other papers cards, fabric, tickets etc are gold to journalers. Good luck
U mean scrap bookers?
ye some of them are worth a lump sum of cash, depending on the cover
Just the maps alone would be worth a tidy sum. People love to use them in Junk Journals, along with scrapbookers.
I especially love vintage magazines to cut images and figures out and jumble them together into a collage.
Great series ! nice to see the respect you are giving the old lady and her family, :)
You deserve your own television series. Love your channel.
Oh my goodness I was glued to this third installment hoping it would never end. This is better than any television show on prime time television or cable. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in the old house with us all here. Very much appreciated and makes for the greatest entertainment. Cannot wait for part 4!!!!! I am from the US but visited Canada when my boys were very small, as they are in their 30's now and have kids of their own. Very beautiful country. Ate lobster on PEI several times during that visit and woke up to horses running in the fields. Stay safe, stay warm and God bless you and yours.
I am so in love with this series! It's so nice that your family is so supportive, and willing to lend a hand
Ok. That beautiful tan, leather bag with flower carvings at the end of video is worth more than $700 USD. I would know because I am a leather worker and that is all made by hand. That is a really good find. Good job.
I'm watching this one after more recent adventures and it's nice how it changed from 'the trees' guy' to a good friend.
Oh Alex! I have enjoyed watching these Hoarder House videos so much! I almost broke my finger hitting the play button when I logged on and saw your notification for #3! Can hardly wait for the next installment and thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us!
Amazing I love the folk art carved figures and the bever log ! What a task you have had in clearing this house I admire your dedication and want to say that you are an inspiration! The house itself can breathe again and im so sure that when you guys have finished with it that it will make a lovely home for someone. By the way I also love the way that you have shown so much respect to the origional owner who im sure must have been a very interesting lady indeed 😀🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ditto !!
The obituaries in the newspapers would be valuable to genealogy groups especially if the local cemeteries have not been documented yet in the Find A Grave Website or Ancestry. Some bigger centers have the papers on microfilm but the smaller towns would not likely have them scanned or have them online. I spent a week in the summer photographing each headstone of six cemeteries in Southern Saskatchewan and spent the winter adding the photos and names to the website. I searched for obituaries online to help complete all of the details - the trouble is that they don't go back very far date wise online. Even working on my own family history I was grateful that mom and I had saved obituaries from over the years. I myself would not want the work of going through those papers but someone local to that area may find them invaluable.
The "clown box" looked like it was fabric, and possibly patterns, to make clown dolls or puppets. You tossed the rubber or plastic clown doll head back into the box.
5 tons of paper and trash. You realize how long it would take to go through all that paper yes?
I love genealogy, but I think it might be dangerous to go through those papers with the mouse droppings, dust and everything.
We have a Research Center locally that clips obituaries daily and files them You’re right. They are invaluable in genealogy. We get hundreds of people fro all over the country looking for much of the information we actively store.
Wow that's really interesting
You know you have a problem when you find yourself going "Well, that empty heart-box is kinda pretty. I'd have kept that, too..."
I found one when cleaning out the upstairs of an old house I bought. I kept it and used it as a door decoration around Valentines Day.
I hear ya!! :-) I saw that Valentines box too and I thought.....I could maybe put someone’s gift in there :-)
Just thought you would like to know that there is two kilns in that room. The upturned pot is also a kiln mainly used for vitreous enameling.
Thank you for letting us know! It’s really helpful having so many extra eyes :)
Really. So many smart people out there watching.
These older folks lived in a time where everything was used, reused, and then used over and over until it fell apart. I can understand how this lady slowly became a horder.
Exactly. Coming from a time where you didn't have much stuff, then slowly moving into an era where you are overloaded with offers and sales and cheap items and clothing everywhere. Can't be easy.
That’s true cuz back then nothing was thrown out it was considered wasteful especially during the Great Depression
also people inherited their family home and didn't move around much. if i had property in my early years I would have become a hoarder too, but i had to keep moving house and now i know myself better than to fall into that trap
@@Scy scarcity than gluttony, like a desert trying to handle torrential rain
Most of the world still lives that way. Its only when wages/time become worth more than the material and production cost does it change. Now they design products to break
I hope you will film the renovations as well
How did I get sucked into this trilogy. I can’t stop watching you.
Trilogy?
I just love how Canadian money looks! Great series. Keep up the good work!
Shilow Dawn. alias compared to American currency, it’s interesting to me! Lol
This house will look lovely after cleaning and renovation. The house will be loved again. Nice!
I'm so excited! This is such a great series, I feel like I'm living vicariously through you (but I don't have to do all the work)!
XD Agreed!
LMAO right
Right and seeing it slowly cleared. So satisfying.
Same here. He's doing what I sorta would love to do 😂
I don't know if I could handle that much clean up though 😳
Your Mother-in-law and Father-in-law are absolutely AWESOME!
Absolutely loving this journey your are taking us on so Thankyou and so want to know the name of the lady who lived there and her interesting life . Maybe you will tell us in time to come . Thank goodness it was You who went in the first place and then had the foresight to buy the house as you have treated her items with respect where you can . What a treasure trove it is . Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Can't wait for the next instalment
I love these videos. Thanks for taking us on your adventure; especially because we can watch from the warm, clean comfort of our own homes!!!😃
Talking about clothes, you should be checking like ALL pockets, this coming from someone with a problem getting rid of things, I keep multitudes of things in my jacket/pants pockets
Serenitykitten as the granddaughter of hoarders, you need to go through EVERYTHING. We always found money stuffed in books and magazines when we had to clear out hoarded homes.
I'm a child of hoarders and you are right. They put $ in places we would never think too. Wrapped in foil then in a Rubbermaid container in the freezer and cupboards in food containers. You think it's just a coffee container but there might be $2000 stashed in it. Coin collection in the unused dishwasher. Hidden in walls attached to a piece of string so you just saw the string and had to pull it out. Under carpet, floors.....My parents were nuts about hiding bundles around the house.
@@robb2055 Remember that the lady is still alive. So, I don´t thing that there will be something veeeery precios in the house. From the other side, she is very old, though...
@@TheFantony my parents weren't as old as her and mom had forgotten some of their hiding places. (Dad passed suddenly and had hid most of the money. He didn't want the government to know how much money he saved. ) We (their kids ) did our best to find it all before the house was tore down but are still unsure if we found it all. With that said not all hoarders hide money or valuables. Some just keep all the junk until They are "buried " in because they cannot part with it much it like this house was.
Omg. Yes. My mother was at the Frankfurt Germany flea market. She checked linings of purses and found a very rare coin from the 1500s and gave it to me. I collected coins and stamps as a child. Unfortunately my collections were stolen from me when our house was robbed.
Binge watching the episodes. It's very addictive. The variety of stuff in that house was really surprising.
Soooo much stuff! Wow! Your "hidden room" looks like an old cistern for holding water that someone punched a hole in to make it useable space... they were quite common in old homes... my parents house has a similar cistern that's has one side knocked in to make it accessable once the town water was hooked up.
Wow, interesting history. For rainwater?
Thanks so much to everyone watching the series! Part 4 coming in a few days time... also, I am having a tough time keeping up on the comments so if it's important to reach me please email us at the shop, I don't want you to think I'm being rude or ignoring you, it's generally just Melissa and I trying to catch up on these and it takes a while :)Alex.
BTW, I'll take the fur coat and what looks like a tiger oak dresser...LOL
time flies
@dee birkin that's what I was thinking too
You need to have the flooring and adhesive tested for asbestos. More so the adhesive than the flooring. This has become a big issue where I work when they remodel.
So true. Mesothelioma would be a horrible thing to get....
dude, love your beard
When stripping antiques if there is a darker green layer under your layers that is a sign of lead or asbestos. Can't remember for sure but you should never be stripping stuff like that w/o a respirator or outside.
i think its too late by the time he posted this, lol. its already done
also lead testing on the paint.
Love this series! I love it when you find something and you take the time to show it to the camera, explain it, date it, value it , etc.
I love the way you obtain things, like your cars and old house, and get moving on them right away to restore them. I have seen so many people getting things to restore that just let them sit and get ruined to where they can no longer be restored. Good job helpers.
I was studying that WENKE AUSTRIA 1915 water bottle. From my digging it is a WW1 water bottle, but the clincher, I think the holes (front and back) is a bullet holes. The way the enamelling has been chipped off I think I'm right. A collector should be able to tell you. Because of the hole (bullet?) it should be potentially worth more than one in pristine condition.
Perhaps the bottle saved the soldier's life if the hole was from a bullet !! Once read that a soldier's life was saved by a book in his shirt pocket when it took the bullet. :)
@@ButterCupMMXXIII It would be nice to think that. The bullet hole (if it is one) went straight through. The way the bottle is curved (to fit the hip) I would say no. Unless he had something behind it, unlikely as they were designed to fit snugly against the body to prevent excessive noise.
@@bernardsummers9050 that's sad to think. Maybe his water stopped it? That's silly. It wouldn't be in Canada with the winning soldier if the Austrian still needed it. My father in law brought home a giant nazi flag from Ww2 that he took away from a soldier. No one interested in purchasing this flag though. Those nazis left a bad taste in people's mouths I do not want to burn the histery.
@@marideathydeelz914 NO! Do NOT burn that flag. I do not understand why it is not a collectible!!! It's "history" as you say. You might want to check with American museums.
great research -
There is a quick trick to finding out if those rocks are gold or pyrite (A.K.A Fools Gold), get a piece of unglazed ceramic or porcine tile, and drag a corner of the rock with a solid piece of the mineral across it. Real Gold will leave a gold streak, Pyrite will leave a black streak.
Wow that's a great "nugget" of knowledge you just shared. Thanks
You can also put a little cosmetic foundation on the back of your hand and run it across. Gold will leave a black streak across the makeup.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 Now that is something I never heard of before, thank you, I'll have to try that.
25:50.. when you showed the bedroom.. i was like... WOOOOWWW... that is an epic room. nice vintage house
I had so much fun going through the house and all the treasures with you. Your mother-in-law and Hans were such a huge help...Could I borrow them for a day? Starting to see the beauty of the house and looking foward to more! Thanks for taking us along.
I was at the flea market about 20 years ago, and some people were selling their late mother's boxes of sewing patterns. They had probably 8 large boxes full and were selling them for cheap. A few people bought some patterns and then a little while later they started selling like hotcakes. They were down to the last box and wondering why out of date clothing patterns were selling so well, that they decided to pull a pattern out and look in the pouch. Turns out that the mom saved money all her life by putting cash in with the used pattern packets before storing them away. I lost faith in much of humanity because of those that took advantage of those sellers. The lesson learned is to check inside of everything you are selling first!
clockguy2 the lesson learned is talk to your mother before she dies
I had sold almost everything moving into an RV. I had people come back and give me pictures of my
Kids I had in books. I was so grateful!
Omg that's so sad :(
How sad.
I’ve been waiting for the next Hoarder House video! 😁
Dawg you and me both. I LOVE this!
Nope I hope he finds endless tunnels with amazing finds.
Dude by the time it was the third secret room I was like.....unbelieveable. I've never seen anything like it. It's horrifying and revelatory simultaneously.
@@Warmfireandtea I'm waiting for him to walk the grown kids through the house after it's all finished.. I personally know what a weight it is to have to deal with something like this.
The stuff in this house NEVER ends.....good documentary.
I'm following this because several years ago I found that I needed to retire and care for my parents. Dad was given 6 months to live and Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. We moved them 3 hours away and all of their stuff. Oh my talk about hoarding. Its hard and very time consuming, Dads still with us. Better care here and better doctors. Point is, anyone that experienced the crash in the 20's is afraid to part with anything.
Anyone poor has trouble parting with things! You can never get another one is the recording that plays in my mind!
Chaney Ranch anyone who experienced the 1920’s is almost a century old here in 2019.....
Not only that, if someone works on their own projects, and even if things are free they would cost a fortune in shipping alone. As most things are not available in stores these days. I was really mad when my dad pitched a bunch of 6L6GC tubes brand new in the box, and they are with a few hundred a piece today. Some just do not get why by things when on sale before you need them at a low price, as that makes far more sense than buying things on credit when you have to have them as my parents do. Then they wonder where all the money has gone. I had plenty till a bunch of expensive items were lost, and they have none because they gave it to the banks. I ask what makes more sense?
Chaney Ranch I’m so sorry about your parents health. Prayers for your family.
My grandmother is senile at 88, and still alive even all the walking she does it to the WC and back umpteen times a day, like a 4-5-meter walk. Luckily no diapers and all that, but she can easily spend several hours on the loo forgetting where exactly she sits. I live in a flat she (and I, for all means and purposes the property is mine both legally and practically) got from the city as a social benefit after 15 years in queue (there is still a thing like that in Russia, Moscow in particular - got a two-room flat in the outskirts instead of a room in a shared flat in the very center of the city back in 2001... The location was nice - 20-minute walk from the Kremlin, but everything else was not, including a slightly mental neighbor, plus a house itself is well over 100 years old, so no regrets).
Since my grandma is demented and dementia is a thing that comes in stages, I witnessed it all for the last 12 years - a degradation of a sharp-minded person into deaf, almost blind and dysfunctional semblance of a human who preserved only 10% of personality and worst 10% at that (one of the things we don't have in Russia is decent and affordable retirement homes for people with dementia and Alzheimer's). Luckily there was no classic hoarding like in the case from this video and judging by other known cases I have it easy enough, but lots of towels, sheets and blankets were cut in half, there were weird purchases from MLM companies (that was not that much of a problem because of the lack of funds) and systematic putting of metal objects into microwave (the microwave amazingly survived almost unscathed and still works) plus heaps of burned or soured food until my mom took the matter of cooking in her hands couple of years ago, coming every day (she's retired and likes cooking, and I have to work anyway even if I was a cook more decent than I am).
A month ago I completely renovated my kitchen from the ground up, leaving only cutlery, utensils, some pans. microwave and fridge but the rest of the flat is still waiting for that (partially because anything else can't be done with grandma around, and the money issue is still there...).
Before that kitchen renovation I cleaned up... a lot. I do live in this flat but since I'm a journalist, in the previous 10 years I often was away for days, sometimes weeks, came home to just to get some sleep in my room and didn't pay much attention to grandma's undoings. It took me DAYS to clean up several small areas... One day I trashed 40 (FORTY) kilograms of plastic and paper shopping bags and food packaging (including yogurt cups and flattened milk cartons) that were stored unknown to me! Each neatly folded, packs of them stored between the water mains (one of them hot) in a closet behind the toilet. Ten or so years worth of supermarket plastic bags. Junk books (occultism and pseudoscience, that sort of things she bought in quantity in her early 70s when mental regress started to creep in) made another 120 kilos or so of garbage. About 60 kilos of old clothes, footwear and bed linen... All that from a tiny part of 51 square meters. Luckily grandma cut all her ties with the outside world about 8 years ago and my family was never rich so I'm not worried about any cash stashed anywhere. Last week I demolished a 1965 dresser and a 1970 linen chest from grandma's room (they were in poor enough condition and almost empty after previous cleanups)... and finally it seems that days of sharing part of my living space with cockroaches are over... those wretched insects lost. Luckily nothing like mice and rats is even remotely possible here.
When you clean the ducts, it will probably overload the power vac truck. Furnace inspection is a great idea. Go Alex Go
I knew an older lady that hid her extra money in the heat ducts. Always a good place I suppose.😄
@@rakamas Wow stuff hidden in duct work I would have never thought of that. I sooooo want to SEE WHAT IN THE ATTIC !
I’m amazed how quickly u get through the rooms
Ha! That is a trick called editing.
My dad used to work at Gillette in Scarborough Ontario and he had a razor like that. Thanks for the memories.
Looked like some big metal? signs in that back add on where the little kiln was. They were against the wall behind some wood pieces. That little yellow envelope in the cold cream jar with the $1 note, looked like the envelopes that we would receive our wages in - back in the day when we actually got cash, every week!
I spotted those signs too! Surprised they were not mentioned in video as well.
Its confirmed your mother in-law is psychic she knew about the secret room!!!
We had Secret rooms in home's.. probably because of the Holocaust and because of some of the work people did. One had Secret space under the stairs/it looked like it was a solid wall. With all the expense in building it the way to open it was hidden. Same with built in sofa's & benches in the house. The sofa's had a lid & opened up so someone could be hidden. The U shaped bench that was built in to the wall & if you knew how & needed to be hid you could. The hidden trap door inside the bedroom closet at the other house. The list is endless.
Oh Sweetheart, from one allergy sufferer to another, I couldn't do what you're doing. In fact, my nose is running and my asthma is kicking in. What a trooper you are!
Artists usually have a workspace. Her work tools could have value to the right collector? LOVE your vids!
Yes and kilns and throwing wheels are very expensive !
True, to someone who's an avid collector of her art, her studio tools could be their "holy grail", as it were. It's all in how you market that stuff, and to whom.
@@heartlandranchtv4943 I hope a potter gets it. Tools should be used like toys should be played with.
@@heartlandranchtv4943 Yes, all excellent points made.
imagine this was Picasso's house and you found a bunch of dried up paint brushes, would you throw them away?
How do you not squeal with delight when you find things like the crock or the brandy! Lol
Hans needs his own RUclips channel.
That’s not a bad idea :)
That's not bad looking house . Windows looks good . You made a good buy!!!!
"They leave a dear John letter...but we're in the country so it's a John deer letter " xD Jeff Foxworthy would love that
It’s actually a beautiful house.
glockenrein I was admiring the bannisters now that they are visible.
I'm thoroughly enjoying these fascinating videos! It's quite interesting to watch your progress and enjoy the 'treasures' right along with you. I'm looking forward to the next 'show' and I'm impressed with the amount of work you've already done.
Great to get the update. Looking forward to seeing more. So much hard work. Looking great.
I like that you are working with your mother and father in law. So many in laws don't get along so I think that this is really great!
Just discovered your site and this WONDERFUL hoarder house. You are amazing and am so glad YOU are unearthing her work, sorting with respect and inviting us for the ride.
No one could understand how much work and endurance it takes to unhoard a house unless they have done it. It is a mammoth job! Been there, done that.
Indeed! I find it so much though.
Did it as a kid as a family project on an abandoned house. They weren't even that much of hoarders but it is amazing how much stuff there was to move.
Although it wasn't much, I have helped too. It was hard seeing all of the stuff that was amassed.
Ah definitely. I helped my brother once he bought one and cleaned it out, it was insane. The craziest thing we found were the bones of a dead dog under one of the apple trees in the yard... but damn was it satisfying cleaning the walls and actually seeing what colour they once were.
Me tooo. UG!
I am more excited by this RUclips show than I ever was for any American Picker or hoarder show EVER! Good job Alex!!!
This is Fascinating. I'm so pleased you thought to film this entire process. I have so many feelings for this artist, I think this jumbled treasure trove is so evocative and so telling of them, and I really love seeing someone who enjoys "stuff" sifting through it with so much interest and care. Really, really great content. I can't believe my good fortune to stumble upon it!
The pin at 35:12 with the old coins is a vintage Girl Guides pin. It's a pixie pin from Brownies (younger generation). Girls would receive it upon enrollment.
You might want to rethink about keeping her journals, especially if it's about pottery! In time they could be worth something. (Silence Dogood letters). Take the news paper to the animal shelters!! They could really use them. Curious about that corner shelf @ 31:37. Reminds me of my foster parents. Call someone about the national geographic magazines! I know some companies buy back some of their older mags!
I can’t believe how much I enjoy watching you dig through this house 👍🏻
Rewatching this because I’m mad in love with the musicians house and can’t stand skipping a day!
me too!
Me too
My mother's house is like this...getting ideas for the inevitable clearing out. She is 86 today.
