Final Clean out of a jam packed home! And some last minute surprises

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- After weeks of hoard work we finally have this place empty! A truck load of goods to support the homeless in our home town, some treasures to cover the expense... and closure as we finish another clear out.
You're so kind toward your mom and wife so nice to see. The other thing I appreciate is the pride of work you have in completing the job.
❤ no
I love that you're donating to actual charity, not corporate entities disguised as such. Kudos, and thank you for your thoughtfulness
Your character is really shining through! The world could use more people like you and your family.
I had the hard chore of emptying out a house of an old friend that was in his final days and found it so hard to donate and sell the life of this friend. I admire your approach to honor the owner as much as possible.
@annvanwesten2488 - Way back when, before I first assisted in organizing and holding estate sales, I had the mindset of “this is what’s left of this man’s entire life. It’s so sad that we are cleaning, organizing and selling his life.” As the years passed and with many estate sales under my belt, I realized that I had the wrong mindset. The person who passed away had all these items during his lifetime. They meant something to him and he enjoyed them during his lifetime. They meant nothing to his heirs, and he couldn’t take them with him. All of those items could have been tossed in a dumpster and not loved and enjoyed by anyone else. The deceased would be pleased to know that the items sold at the estate sale are loved by their new owners. The items that don’t sell at the estate sale are donated to the charity of the family’s choice.
@@kristineguetschow9134 Thank you so much for your words. I have struggled with this for almost a year. I know many of the things that were bought were used to help others in need. Thanks again.
“There is a certain weight of being the person, who is the emptier of a property but we do what we can”
Man you nailed it. Great quote
Not sure what this man's end of life was,but it looks like he led a pretty good one when he lived.Many great things done and purchased.

Appears to have been a successful one! (Money wise)
Alex mentioned medical issues, might have been cancer.
I think what's going to really differentiate your new streaming show from all the similar themed ones is your compassion. Caring about the lives of the people who have passed on, caring about their families, friends and neighbors who knew them, recycling and donating, even before any money is made on selling. You and your family have big hearts.
so agree Laura
Melissa is like the perfect partner. Hard working, loving, and good mother.
And it doesn't hurt that she is so pretty too!
I am so happy for their relationship!
Literally teared up watching them at the end ❤❤
The guy that lived here seemed like he was a cool guy, rest in peace.
The last 5 minutes are a beautiful acknowledgment of the loving care you share with each other. So happy for you both!
They have it all, just a great family all around. I love that they look after each other so well and mutually. This is the recipe for success!
Love the respect that you give to the person that has passed and their family and friends
I very much appreciate all the work you do to keep things out of the landfill, all you recycle, all you donate to various charities, but most of all how much you've donated to the displaced Ukranian refugees. You guys are examples of how people should take care of other humans. Keep up the fine work! Much love from Texas!❤
Thank you for taking us along on your hoarding/clean out adventures. I love watching your loving family and friends, working together and helping the community. This is about more than making an income for you guys, that is clear. It is about helping others the best you can. Alex, you have a charismatic presence, and you and Melissa are couples goals.
You folks are the consummate visage of what compassion is and generates through practice to idealize the ultimate act of helping one's fellow man! Not a thought, just a natural action and reaction. God Bless!
One of the things I admire most about you and Melissa is you put other peoples feelings and considerations ahead of your convenience. Making sure this woman was well taken care of was so kind and I have no doubt that’s why you guys are so successful. You deserve every bit of success you have for the kind people you are.
If we could all live life as full as he did
I pray for rain for everyone that needs it in their area Prayers sent..💦🙏
Alex, take a good look at the closing of this segment. Look at the way Melissa is looking at you. Love, respect and pride. It doesn't get any better than that. Fortune has shined upon you. Cherish it!
The donations to charity and others in need makes your channel stand out. ❤
I hope that you, and all the people living in your area, stay safe from the fire.
He isn't red yet. I'm in the next province over, in BC, and last year when fires hit, a huge one got close so my daughter's home (she was on alert to evac so they had basically emptied out the house and up to the next road over was evac'd) that everything was red. She sent me pics taken in the middle of the day and everything, literally, everything was vivid red: houses, lawn, road, air etc..was deep red. It was scary.
I’m also in Edmonton. We are safe from fire here - but up until yesterday blanketed in smoke!
I live in Montana and we’ve had heavy smoke here up until a week ago. I hope everyone is safe in Alberta. This is too early for 🔥 fire. ☹️
@@VintageLPs It's the loss of animal life that breaks my heart. People can just drive away
@@hilaryc3203 I'm Australian it's when it's black that's the scariest here and hot embers are dropping from the sky. Not to mention fire tornadoes 100s metres high and atomic bomb size clouds of smoke. Pyrocumulus cloud from bushfires creates it's own weather with lightening strikes. Not fun at all. Particularly when viewed from your front door. It happened day after day in 2019 for us.
I do appreciate that you recycle and donate as much as you can. You're good people!!!!
Alex, you and Melissa are such quality people, your generosity to your fellow man is so heart warming and you are showing your children how to be good humans.
I love the way your wife looks at you ! The hubby and I have been married 40 years
You turned it into a happy house. Hopefully the new owners are house-friendly.
I always enjoy watching the clean outs that Melissa and you do. Normally they leave me feeling somewhat sad for the people who died while you go thru their things. Seems so often like lives not fulfilled. Sometimes even a bit lonely.
This clean not at all! This clean out has left me feeling smiling. This man has had such a full, amazing and awesome life that most of us can only dream about. The places he's been and things he's done are wonderful. He's lived his life to the fullest. Good for him. We should take him as an example. 💗
Your compassion and generosity are truly unmeasurable. 💙
Your family is so generous when it comes to giving things to people that really need them like giving to charity. You are also very gentle with other people's stuff when you're cleaning a house out I'll respect of the former owner. Unified very loving and caring family and they're always willing to help. I love all your family and friends and really enjoy your videos❤❤❤.
Melissa you should have been born in the 70’s. ✌🏻🤟🏻
Alex , you and your family are so caring and respectful ; it's wonderful to witness it . Take care , be safe and continue to prosper . I love your channel .
What a difference the guys from the charity made, you have done so much work. Thanks for sharing the adventure with us.
🙋♀️❤ I imagine you and this gentleman (RIP) would have become great friends. .
I like the kissing rabbits in balcony bin. They are very very cute.
I hope the gentleman is off to his greatest journey
With wonders and adventures he couldn't imagine !
A life well lived are just some of the gifts he left behind
Farewell and may your blessings follow you home .
You and all your help, did an amazing job! 💓💝💘❤💖watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great night!
You, your family and friends are just such a joy to watch.
My husband loved wearing the Hockey jerseys. I still have many of ones he wore.
Alex, you are the definition of a cheerful giver! Your generosity and spirit of lending freely is an example to us all.
God bless you and your family donating. and cleaning the condo for the lady
That’s a great charity, to get people started with furniture, fresh off the streets🥰You are well rounded, and I can’t believe no more stow😞
Well done
You and your family are just awesome with the way you all work together on these clear outs. I know you do the majority of the work. I love the fact that you actually donate so much of the furniture and clothing. You are an incredibly kind person.
Wow, Mom is so young!
Ah , I’m sad it’s over. He sure had an interesting life. You guys are amazing.
The shopping cart really came in handy!
The new sports clock would look great in your garage
Another great series loved it.. Thankyou 🇬🇧
So happy for your new streaming show. I cannot wait.
The Canadian Rockie Train poster has been made into a puzzle. My mom made the puzzle.
Concorde memorabilia sells really well, that looks like 70s Concorde so even rarer, good find.
Most charities I know of won't take beds anymore. I don't see why they won't take the frames and just supply new mattresses. That bed you have there is really nice! If all else fails, post it up for free. I'm glad you found a home for that bed.
I sure hope Melissa took some of the Le Creuset home. It’s THE best cookware EVER!
All done with respect for the gentleman that lived there and consideration to the lady that inherited the property. A looooooot of work but once again with the help of your family you did it. Congratulations 🥂
Well done Alex & Melissa and Mom !
Once again. A great job!!!!
Couldn't help but think about this man the whole way through each episode. At a certain point I was moved to tears. He lived a life of abundance and that was quite evident by the amazing contents of his home. It saddens me though that the person who inherited his condo didn't want the contents as she didn't need any of it, I mean I understand that, but not even a memory of him of somekind apart from the Condo, whether it was the coin collection, a Jersey, the lamps, a painting..kinda like no not interested just want to sell the place and thankyou very much kinda thing. All I can truly say is you and your family dealt with his life with such compassion and respect it kept me strong whilst watching this. You did such a great job. 👍
You may have the strongest work ethic of anyone I have ever seen. And a most supportive and helpful family as well.
I can think of no one kinder and more respectful to handle people's belongings at the end of their lives. And as well as helping you and your family you make sure to help your community. Always a treat to watch your videos.
I’m so glad I found your site, you and your family are so good to those you come in contact with! Many people talk big but you talk with your actions! Keep up the good work and your rewards in Heaven will be great!🙏
Alex, you and your family are simply the best! You going above and beyond to help the woman with the cleaning of the condo…bravo to all of you!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh it just occurred to me! That poor
Man must have passed there and they cut out the carpet. But it sure seems he lives life to the fullest!
Delighted you have this positive relationship with the Ukrainians!
Think of it as an adventurer cleaning out the adventurers condo. I bet he would have liked that. An adventure ❤
You're a top notch guy, Alex. :)
You handled that clear out brilliantly.
Just watched the whole series. Thanks so much for documenting the process yet again.
Another job well done.
May the memories of love outweigh the grief of loss. Thank you so much for your empathy.
Your boys grew up since the last time I watched!! What a handsome crew you’ve got!
Its all about integrity
I truly appreciate how respectful you are about clearing a home of someone who passed. You balance the ability to make money with appreciation of the person’s life.
This clean out made me think this man lived a wonderful life, however I did feel bad that his home was unkept at the end. I hope he had someone that cared about him.
Cleaning it thoroughly also gives you excellent references.
Some range hoods have just filters
The niblick golf club was for getting out of steep sided bunkers. My father had an identical one passed down from his father and which I used occasionally as a teenager in the 1960s . It was old then. Just brought back good memories.
North American football should be called “hand egg” 😂😂😂
I think Alex that you, your Mom & Melissa are some of the kindest & most generous people on RUclips. May God bless you all.
❤ another adventure completed
The fires in Canada was on my Los Angeles news for several days I wasn't aware it was still going on. Everyone needs to united prayer for these fires to be diminished. Important question: my late husband Hank Stickney, owned the Las Vegas stars minor league baseball team. They were also called area 51. My husband hank also brought ice hockey to Las Vegas for over a decade. It was called Th . thunder. I would like to bid on the Las Vegas jersey if the back reads Stars .
*Thunder
We need more people like Alex in the world.
I found this series both satisfying to watch you sort it all out and more sad than most. I don't even know why. I think because he'd not cleared up his last meal and because he had so many really nice things but it had become untidy. Also, the Christmas village was a bit gut wrenching. I hope he slipped away in his sleep and didn't realise.
Thank you for all the hard work and the compassion.
The table your mom is working on is just like one I have. I had been told, maybe not true, that they are old tavern tables. I do love mine. You have such a lovely family and appreciation for them. I had to do the clean out from my parents lived in for fourty something years. Daunting for sure.
❤ Love You Both! ❤
Another job well done! Thankyou for sharing
Another awesome project!!
Good Family.
You and your family are such good people. I wish I had someone like you around me just for the positive vibes!❤️
I am totally i
Pressed with how you care for others. World needs more people like you, your family and friends.
Another great adventure completed. I can't wait for the next one to begin. The man that lived in that condo seemed to have lived an interesting and fulfilled life, kudos to him. 🤠👍
I love how you love each other❤
Guarantee all the carpeting will be immediately replaced by the new owner. And probably the stove and fridge as well with a full kitchen remodel. Heck, looking at the bathroom tiles, I'd bet the entire place gets redone. But thanks for the cleaning effort as that does make a better presentation. Best wishes for the bereaved.
We've been having hazy skies in Minnesota as your smoke drifts our way! Stay safe!
Certainly liked to support the little guys, Stoke City and Hull City (the tiger logo one) AFC...
I think some of our Australian firefighters were coming over to help with the fires. Hopefully no-one is hurt and the fires become controllable.
The hood was most likely a recirculating one, it runs the air through a filter and back into the room.
This place looks big enough to turn it into a 3-bedroom taking away some of that giant lounge/dining space.
The kind way you treated this man's belongings was like a wonderful eulogy! He is remembered by so many now. I might sell the Jimmy Buffett Hawaiian shirt with the ticket. Wow, great things stuffed everywhere ...hope you checked under the coach cushions??? Great donations and very kind of you.
Another job well done. 🤗
Awesome work Alex as usual 👏👏
those people that ask have never seen some of those abandoned house videos . Alot of houses up there with everything still in them. Need more Alexs
You seem like a really genuinely nice guy, and it shows that when your beautiful wife looks at you, she really loves you.
You guys are so kind
The reason Alex cleans , the places he clears out. Because he always goes the extra mile. You would be amazed, how doing something little, can mean a lot.
I knew a moving company owner who, when giving the estimate for a move, would offer to take all the items the client planned to donate and store them in his warehouse, at no cost to the client. He then worked with various charities to furnish apartments for women fleeing domestic violence. They furnished over 100 apartments that way.
