    This is a story of love, no matter what happens in life, they would always stick together.
    Many decades ago Mike and Stella fell in love during their time in high school and decided that they wanted to spend their whole lives together. They settled down in a rural town somewhere in the state of Connecticut, where they remodeled a typical American house into their dream home. After the work on the house was done Mike was called to fight in the ongoing war in Vietnam, this didn’t go well for him and he got severely injured and traumatized but came home alive. After his return, he was unable to work, but Stella never let their love fade away, they went on to have a few children of their own, and while Stella went out to work, Mike cared for the children. They lived here all their lives until Stella passed away around the 1990s and this left mike to fend for his own in the last decade of his life, he stopped using the upstairs and only lived in a few rooms downstairs until he left planet earth behind in the early 2000s
    Today we will have a look into the life of this loving couple, and bring you their story for one last time.

I love watching your videos because it brings back memories of my childhood. Just to let you know when I was little we had no running water in our home which was a garage not a house and it was heated with a oil stove in the center. I remember my dad opening the garage door to go to work. It took my dad over a year to get enough money to build on 2 bedrooms and a kitchen. This was in 1955 when we lived there and I was 6 years old.

As a child I hope you had fun and never noticed that you didn't have lots in the way of creature comforts. I'm sure your father was a very strong man with an equally strong work ethic. Yours is a very interesting story.

    Hi, great place. In Canada we call the sauce dispenser a gravy boat and it usually has a dish under it to catch any drips. The chair with a hole looks like a homemade commode. 23:50 is a portable hair dryer. It should have a plastic cap that you attach to the hose then put on your head to dry your hair when it's in rollers.

She did a beautiful job spending time making each square and then crocheting them altogether. She definitely was a talented women who took pride in her home with the amount of money they had.
    God bless Mike for honoring the USA. We’re so proud of him and his service to our Country and the duties men/women promise to honor, serve and at all times stand guard wherever in need.

    I just wanted to correct the pronunciation of the word Plymouth. It's not Ply' Mouth... it's Plim' ith... that is how you would say it even though it does appear to be Ply Mouth. Just in case you see another one in a different location. God Bless and thanks again for the wonderful video.
    PS- I just wanted to also add that the reason that many of these houses deteriorate so quickly is because of what they are made of. Many modern homes built after the 1920s were built with just wood, with concrete bases and drywall... All were designed to be built quickly for a growing population after WWII. Many were prefabrication that you could buy a builders kit and put the house together yourself or hire someone to build it for you. Even the Sears department stores sold them along with Hardware stores. Now unless you are very wealthy homes are not built as sturdy as the ones in Europe. Most of the homes you tour in Europe are very old and were built with brick and mortar as well as stone so they will last a very long time. This is why there are castles nearly 800 years old still standing in Europe. But if you think about it you don't see a whole lot of homes that were built for the average people still standing either. We have very few old homes and buildings here that are more than a few hundred years old. We have old ghost towns with some buildings still standing because they're around 100 to 150 years old mostly built using strong oak wood treated to keep the insects from eating it and also because people have maintained them. . And we certainly don't have any castles that are anything like what's in Europe. Nothing is truly meant to last through the ages except the great ancient castles of Kings, Queens, Lords, and Ladies. All buildings whether built from brick and stone or wood and drywall will only last if someone maintains them.

    Wow, this might very well have been the home of me parents! From the Lady Sunbeam ladies hairdryer to the Regina electric broom! Even the beautiful wedding portraits of Mike and Stella could be a photo copy of my parent's bridal portrait. I am 66 years old and was born when my parents were in their 30's, rather a bit later than most new parents back in 1956. It would appear from the baby picture (looks just like mine) that they had at least one child. The religious card that you found, Lesley, is known as a 'perpetual prayer card's. Purchased in Stella's name, this card would insure that the local Catholic congregation would include her memory in their prayers each day. Very interesting that there were two 'console' tvs in the living room. Back in those days, having one would have been a very special thing. Having two would be quite a luxury for a home such as this one. The dryer was in a quite unusual spot. Can you only imagine Stella having to climb down those stairs and crawl through that basement carrying a load of laundry?? I suspect they only used it on the very rare occasion that she couldn't hang the clothes out to dry, which is what my mother did throughout most of the year, even though we lived in northern Massachusetts. Thank you for that delightful stroll down memory lane. Although both of my parents have long since passed, their memories remain near and very dear to my heart. You are both such respectful gentleman as you visit the homes of the dearly departed, bless you on your future explorations.

    I was thinking with the age of the house, cars and furniture that this seemed as though he were a WW2 vet. That is very similar to all of the things that my grandparents had. My mom talked about her parents had the metal table and I think metal cabinets when she was a kid, which was the late 1940’s & all of the 1950’s. The thing that looked like a breathing machine was actually a hair dryer from the 1960’s. It had a shower cap type thing that the hose attached to. Women rolled their wet hair in curlers and then put on the shower cap with the hose in it and it blew hot air inside the cap while they sat and read magazines. I also wonder about the difference between how long things last in Europe as opposed to here in the US. Here in the south, we do not have many structures older than 1865 because William Sherman was sent by the government to burn it all down. And he did. So most structures here are 1866 or newer. Plus from the time they started using plywood and 2 x 4 stick frame construction houses have not stuck together like they did in the time of timber frame construction. I have a massive hatred for the American “Subdivision” and cookie cutter houses. I grew up in the country and I live in the country now. My parents built most of our house themselves when I was a kid and it was unlike any other house and it’s still like that even if they don’t live there anymore. I live in the country in a simple house that was crappily built by a modern builder. I’d love to be able to afford to make changes to it, or just moved farther out in the country with more land and even less neighbors than I have now and build a house exactly like I want that would last :). I REALLY enjoyed your video!! Thanks!!

There would have been a cap to attach to the hose. Metal cabinets were common years ago. My first house was built in the late ‘40’s and my kitchen cabinets were metal. Loved them. The kitchen table and chairs were from the ‘50’s. The coverings are called afgans and are hand crocheted.
    What a terrible mess, so sad. It is surprising that there is no one to gather the things.

    You are still the best! Thank you for a very touching moment. The Vietnam War was traumatic for Americans and even more for the Vietnamese. Because you leave politics alone I was able to find a heartwarming story even though what the American government did to returned service men was a crime.
    Thanks again

    What an interesting explore this was! I agree with you...thieves and vandals are the worst! I love exploring abandoned properties, and it really makes me angry when I come across one that has been trashed.
    That car maker is pronounced Plimmuth, not Ply Mouth. 😁
    23:45 is a portable hooded hair dryer. I don't know where it disappeared to, but somewhere around the house there should be a soft plastic hood with ventilation holes to allow the excess hot air to escape. This would be used when a woman had rollers in her hair.
    40:15 that's an enema bag, not a foot warmer. That's why it has the rubber tube with the metal probe on the end of it.
    42:28 that's actually a basting brush that belongs in the kitchen to paint your sauces over whatever meat or dish you have in the oven, or to paint melted butter into baking pans before making a cake or cookies.

    I looked Michael up and found his obituary. He wasn't a Vietnam Vet, he was a WWII Vet, and was a P.O.W. He also was awarded a Purple Heart for his service. He died at the age of 84 on Aug 19, 2001. He was a machine operator and enjoyed hunting, fishing and gardening. He was survived by a sister, a nephew, and some nieces. It doesn't appear that Mike and Stella had children. Mike's parents bought this property in 1927, when he would have been 10 years old. His nephew owns the property now. It was built in 1920. Stella was 6 years older than Mike and she died in 1986 at the age of 75.

    Hello brother Lesley! That contraption in the basement is the dryer for clothes due to the top mini lid on top. Always great seeing your new videos and respect to these abandoned places. It is very odd for me to me why the kids would never come back especially "home"... Wauw and sad.

In the living room they had a chandelier just exactly like the one here and my dad's house plus, by the couch there was a stand up heater just like the one in our bathroom that my mother had. It was so awesome to see that. So thank you both for all you do and the love you show. Tonya A.

    Thank you Leslie and Danny for another fascinating adventure. I wish we could have seen the house when it was newer. It's such a special little place. So much of what you found reminded me of items my parents had in the house I grew up in like the kitchen table and chairs and the phone. When we had a phone like that we only had to dial 5 numbers to make a local call. The string of glass beads in the drawer upstairs were Christmas decorations. We still hang the exact same garland on our Christmas tree every year. I agree that Mike was likely a WW2 veteran as was my Dad. Thanks again for these wonderful videos. I can't wait till the next adventure.
