Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, i seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures a only leave footprints.

This is a nearby house last occupied in 2006 and even the years leading up to then it was already dilapidated and starting to fall apart. The owner of this building said he's offered it to the fire department to use at the training house for years and they finally decided to use it. The owner of this house said he only used it as a summer home and it's stayed on used during the winters. As long as he live there the building it never had any Plumbing or toilet despite the bathroom looking front room. It did have a well supplying outdoor water only. The building originally had three wood burning stoves two of which were removed. This video was made by taking the old video and editing old with new, filmed 2019
As a truck driver, I get to drive by many abandoned homes. I always wonder who lived there.

Perfect for hiding the bodies!
To the others who left posts Sir...that is just like some shallow people would say...but Sir In My Case... Good Hard Working Loving Family whose Family has spanned over 5 Generations of a Loving American Family/Families Lived and Raised their Families in most of these homes! Until Low Down Sorry Good For Nothing's Stole everything...the next Sir to this you posters
....may stop and ponder like you Instead of just trying to make ignorent foolish responses to your posts Sir.
So whom Sir may have lived in these homes? Mostly Families Who Feared God Loved Each Other and once could and we're proud to be Americans!!!!
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: but Jesus said, I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundant!!!
Me too and I also wonder who was the last person to walk out the door.
The hands that built that house long since gone. The memories that house saw ( good and bad ) little feet that past through. Bitter sweet history. Very good video.
So sweet and very true, that house saw lots of babies i bet!
It’s nice to think we can imagine what happened there
And plenty of parties, entertainment, arguments, slumbers and general craziness wrapped up in love and maintenance.
This is what I took away too! It's bittersweet losing a place like that, or letting it get so bad that it needed to be burned down. All that history gone... "If walls could talk..."
One thing I DO know; if you need something to survive the fires of hell, make it like that oven!! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD that thing is a BEAST!
Once she was proud, shiny, smelling of fresh paint and wood..
Going through the first 2 rooms, I was pretty surprised, thinkin', "Hey! She's got good bones at least!!!".
Rest in Peace grande dame...
Even if that house was in bad condition, it’s somehow sad to see it burned down. Love your videos.
Your channel has everything I love. Drains, trains and abandoned places. A one stop shop. LOL.
Same , it's 4 am and m watching this 🌟
That same model fridge is what was in my house growing up, until my dad could no longer get replacement parts, while I was in high school circa 1980. Two years ago, when we sold the house, that fridge was our 'basement fridge' and still running. They REALLY don't build 'em the way they used to.
I remember the family tv from my childhood. One of those old ones with wood grain casing. Where you had to find and set channels by turning a little knob like a radio. And it would occasionally malfunction. It'd start buzzing and the screen woukd only show a blue line. Solution: give it a slap!
I have the same fridge made by Westinghouse. It was in the house that I bought built in 1954. I decided to keep the fridge because it runs perfectly. I don't run the fridge but I store all my card and board games in it.
💯
How was it still running if you couldn't get parts
@juliebraden6911 The last repair done required someone to fabricate a part for it. At that point, my dad said, 'No more' and it was moved to the basement where it became the beer and holiday leftover fridge.
It was opened very infrequently from that point forward, which most likely boosted its longevity. Good question! Cheers!
9:07.... The basement is flooded, perhaps there’s a blocked drain or culvert down there that needs your special attention 😄🤙🏻
If it's a blocked drain... I know someone. He'll bring his plastic rat with and propably tell us it's either roots or corn-sh*t.
Oh, wait 7:39, the house was build before plumbing. Sooo~ ground water?
@@Cernumospete lmao i think i know this guy
There is Pennywise hiding
underwater in that Basement

Wow ! This old wood stove is beautiful ! I guess someone liked it too, because it was gone when you came back. I also liked the door knobs. I hope someone was able to save them before the destruction. And the hinges on the garage door were cool too.
Thank you for the visit. That was awesome !
Someone who has a business of scrapping old houses for salvage needed to go through this house!! When I first saw the carpet I said 1970’s. Other things said that too, especially the contact paper on the frig. The Electrolux vacuum was probably from the 50’s. My mom had them all her married life (got married in 1951) and I remember 3 different ones including this one. The 2 newer ones are still in use. Interesting video. Thank you.
Those wood doors should definitely have been saved! Maybe I'm still thinking of the previous house video but I think there were some nice, very old wood doors.
Asking about a vacuum when staring directly at it. Priceless ❤
LMFAOO that's exactly what I was thinking
“I’m going to walk around this abandoned house.” Said every first person to be murdered in a scary movie ever lol
"Hey d'ya wanna get killed with me, or get killed looking for me?"
So original.......................
26:26 - The nice old vacuum cleaner you talked about is right there. Only the metal shell and the pipe is left though. It's a shame they burned it down with the rest of all the nice old things that were in the house.
Thank you for documenting this in form of that video. This home may not be there anymore but it will not be forgotten completely.
Shame old houses like this get destroyed and not restored. It looked like it had real character.
The $$$ would be outrageous...
Plumbing, new roof, updated electric, furnace, floors... The foundation walls!!!
Literally from the ground up, $$$...
Altho I totally agree...
yes its a shame they didnt save many of the old fixings or appliances but restoring that house would of cost so much, it was so far gone. A lot easier just to start from scratch
@@chamonix4658 *would have
I'm 99% sure I went to this exact house to buy weed circa 02-04 when I lived in Plymouth. Definitely remember the fridge, flooring, and the outbuilding.
I live in that house for many years already, I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
Nice
J B your a Crackass.
@@the486kgman2 *you're
Did you stay long enough to have to pee in the yard?
Your videos are a tonic against all the coronavirus bad news. Take care of yourself. Things are getting scary here in the UK and in the USA. Dont put yourself at risk.
That refrigerator could be restored and refit with a new efficient refrigeration system. Lots of other nice things that I hope were salvaged such as door knobs, some of the wood, etc.
Was thinking the same
I'm hoping that wood stove was saved
Thought the same!!!
I would've salvaged the Fridge and that wood stove right off the top!!
not to crap on the parade but its supposd to be the insulation thats inferior since R12 systems were more efficient than our current green compromise refrigerants. that said, my early 50's westinghouse has been burning electric since the grandparents bought it new. something that lasts that long has to be less "efficient" than something that runs in the red as our current minimalist iterations.
@@hardrays
Can't put a price tag on nostalgia.🙂
My blacksmithing son makes those hand forged nails...they are alot of work to make...shame they will just rust there! Nice video! Fascinating! 😊
I am assuming, hoping that because you didn’t show the remains, that the brown metal wood burning stove was removed and hopefully the old door knobs too. That stone foundation is amazing and quite beautiful too. Thank you post 10. 💚💚
I really hope they saved that wood stove, it's was gorgeous and looked to be in nearly perfect condition.
I enjoy your videos so much dude. As someone with medical problems, I can’t always go out and go follow exploring so it’s so nice to have these videos where it feels like you’re bringing us along with you. Thanks Post 10 great as always 👏
FYI that old style of electrical work with the ceramic insulators is known as "knob and tube". The insulators are the "knobs" and there are ceramic tubes used to pass the wires through wood joists. The wire itself was usually either un-insulated, or poorly insulated using cloth or something similar. It was common to just splice into it wherever you needed to add fixtures, and the wiring could often get crazy and complicated, especially since there were separate runs used for the hot and neutral wires, and they weren't always run close to each other. In the early days when homes just had a couple circuits and the electrical load wasn't very high, not very much care was taken in terms of keeping the wiring organized so you could have hot and neutral from different circuits feeding any given fixture, which was obviously a safety hazard when considering electrical load balancing and circuit isolation. Insulation retrofitters often will not install insulation into older homes unless they have verification from an electrician that there is no active knob and tube remaining. I'm actually about to go remove the last remaining knob and tube from the basement of a home being sold as soon as I stop procrastinating and get off RUclips :)
It's easy to forget how remote some locations can be back East. Thanks for posting this interesting video!
This is quite sad. It was someone’s home. Some of the old fittings are amazing though. I think if it had been my house I would have taken them with me! Take care of yourself - especially in those culverts!
Environmentalist Logic: Removed fridge because the release of small amount of Freon, proceeds to burn house down with tires, plastics, leather, wood 😆
I mean freon is worse than all of those
@@sneersh9107 Been a good while since I last heard any fear-mongering about the big 'ol ozone hole.
OH WOW !!!
I have the exact same locks and doorknobs on my house. Mine was built in 1923
In Canada, we hardly ever have abandoned houses so this is so interesting .
Going on a spree watching your videos during Work-hours, never realized something so normal would be so calming and addictive.
Them old door knobs are wroth a lot of money and a lot of other things there
amazing how not everything has been stolen
If I didn't live across the country I would be having a hard time walking past that grinding stone.
The bricks on the ground is worth almost as much. Pickup the brick, and old hardware.. You could pay for all the clean up on the property....
My son is 5 1/2 and is obsessed with your videos. He goes on “drain hunts” to look at drains. And talks to me about copper pipes all the time 😂
Your son will be Post 11 😂🌚
somebody must have taken the old cooking stove ,didnt see it anywhere
That fridge is a beauty. Worth about $600 these days. Broke my heart to see it face down in the yard!
Man i would love to have that fridge.
It always makes me a little sad and nostalgic to see these houses go. It's too bad we build nowadays for disposability rather than permanence. I see them a a great part of me wants to restore and take care of them. Thank you for the tour.
I agree!
I would have loved to try to restore and live in this home.
Thank you for taking us along on these fascinating house tours. It seems like it could be dangerous at times....I hope that you let some one know where you're going, just in case.
“it’s like youre walking in a barn. its really nice.” what a vibe
After removing the foundation remains, it still would be hard sale, if some one wished to build a house on the property. Property for sale. No house. No central heating. No indoor plumbing. Rustic location. For some one who prefers seclusion and limited human contact. Great place to prepare for the zombie apocalypse! (g)
David S ... no time left to prepare lol
@@cantstopthemusic456 The end is here?
100k it would be brand new again.
Unibomber abode
Have you never watched any of the prepper videos on youtube?
That vacuum is a very good brand. Great video, Post. Stay safe:)
OMG, that Elecrolux vacuum cleaner! I had one of those as a kid! Mine was green if I remember correctly. Nostalgia level rising...
I remember an Electrolux sales man coming to our hose to sell us one. Very powerful suction.
Our one was light green from the 50s or 60s. We stupidly blew it up by over-revving the motor by letting the suction stick to a carpeted surface. It smelled like dense electrical smoke. I won't forget that.
Imagine how hard it would be to move a cast-iron tub
iv had to do it myself, just get some of your apprentices from work to come over, give them some liquid encouragement and aks them to move it for you. Took about 3 people to get it in the house and up the stairs
Break it up with a very large hammer. Face protection is a must 😂
Yeah but they moved it outside in one piece somehow lol
I just use a good hand truck. I've moved several by myself. Same as cast iron stack pipes. I cannot pick the tub up and carry it ofc, but I can pick it up enough to manipulate it onto a hand truck. I was surprised at first bc I had always heard they were sooo heavy, but I had no problems. I was glad bc I almost always am just by myself when I work.
@@johnlittle9881 because they cost upwars of three thousand new and they arent making anymore with the gracious victorian lip that doesnt make your arm fall asleep hanging on it.
What a nice quiet area!
Too bad you couldn't save the vacume cleaner...Electrolux are expensive.
post 10 im going to lock the door on my way out. Although there are no windows or other doors that close. Gotta love post 10 👍😃
Love the stone walls in the basement
Could you imagine farming all those blocks and slabs?! Stacking them?
Or hell, even digging the dang hole afore all the stone work started!
Be cool if you could do some metal detecting around the house. I would love to
That old grinding stone is worth some coin too I'd be going back for that thing if I was there.
What a shame destroying a piece of history.
Post 10 I've been loving your recent videos where you explore stuff, especially abandoned stuff. Keep it up man!
Someone who lived here was a passionate skier. The hat, the shirt, the skiis. Damn
That was a really enjoyable video to watch. And I like how you explained everything as you took us along.
Also as you went through the rubble after the fire. Very nice job!😉 and of course the nature surround is just gorgeous!!
such a shame nobody would remove the fridge and old cast iron stove ! they look usable still
Those hexagon glass panels are eight sided, (octagons)
Electrolux seems to have been a big brand in New England at least. In my house we still use a vintage Electrolux Genesis and it works great.
LackedPuppet 902 ---- I was born and raised in the Midwest. My Mom had an Electrolux vacuum cleaner. It lasted years !
You can still buy that Brand here in Germany or other countrys in Europe. But i think they sell the company. Now its AEG
@@v.gorski3050 We've had ours since the nineties. It's still works fine.
It's like watching a real life play through of Fallout....
Great video so informative and as a few others have posted a tonic against the bad news currently out-there in the world. Take care.
You have such a great attention to detail. I love your channel. Thanks for the content. Stay safe out there.
you should have taken a magnet out there depends on the age but antique cut nails range about 1 Lb $15
Sad to see. I imagine all the hard work and pride that went into building that place back in the 1800's, just to have it purposely burned down as an eyesore a few generations later.
When you noticed the basement stairs were missing.... something about that moment made my skin crawl.
We call those nails 'Brads' - used for floor boards. What a shame to see abandoned homes like that - thank you for showing us though :-)
The meter flashing means there is power at the meter. It's "tabed" meaning the meter is not feeding through to the house.
Great video,reminds me of where my mom grew up,same sort of house.ive ya lways wondered what it must have been like to live in those times.hard work n perseverance just to make it day to day.We are so spoiled.Thank you for your videos,truly one of a kind.👍👍👍👍👍
Todd Talbott We ARE spoiled. I grew up just one generation from electric appliances, hot water heaters were coming in common usage, clothes still had to be ironed, cus most people hung their clothes out to dry.also, no polyester til the mid 1960s. Sheets were not fitted, and you had to iron them, stoves were wood, gas and a few modern electric. Fridges looked like that one, kinda rounded, space age. (Boxy refrigerators started in the 1970s.) Hoover vacuums had a huge bag on the back you had to empty.
@@cathiwim the first fridge i owned was the older rounded type.doing laundry on a wash board or cutting the grass with the push grass cutter.yeah we are spoiled.My kids didnt like me when i made them use the old grass cutter,oh well just getting my point across on how easy they have ir now.I do worry about this generation though.they are overwhelmed or some just dont care.hopefully the Younger generation will listen so we can make it through these times of uncertainty.just love post ten.🙏👍👍👍💓
I find this a bit annoying; they could have salvaged the floorboards, hinges, door hardware etc., recycled the metals and should have disposed of that fridge properly. Seems a bit unprofessional to leave all that junk there.
BirdBrain they left it for the new developer to clean up!
@ 26:10 - 'Heat-Resistant paint on the Stove' , N O ! , that's PORCELAIN !
I've watched enough American pickers to know the fridge, stove and vacuum cleaner are probably worth thousands especially if the fridge is restored 😂😂😂 I really like this video btw, very adventurous, stay safe bud
That really cool old wood-burning stove has been taken away. It was neat. It was really old. Poor tree. :(
That tub appeared to be in amazing condition
There were 2 tubs, yet no running water and no bathroom. Go figure.
Hello from across the pond in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England :) 👍
Your videos always make my day man! Just something really good about them. Stay safe thru all the weird shit going on and thank you for posting!
those aren't spikes or brads they are called cut nails
you should have taken a magnet out there depends on the age but antique cut nails range about 1 Lb $15
When I was four my dad bought an old Queen Anne style house that he tore the rotten porch off one side. He found old nails like that and he said they were hand forged and a part of history we were fast losing.
I just love how much detail you go into you don't seem to miss anything 👌
You sure make a nice video. I just want to keep watching them all!! Thank you
Waited all day to go on adventure. That house was beautiful too bad it's gone, why would the owner just let it go. Thanks for sharing on to the next.
my mother had a electrolux vacuum until the early 80s just like that. best dam vacuum we ever had. would like too find one today but the bags you have too buy for it will not be around very long. stay safe with everything going on.
I really enjoyed this adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Great video on the exploration. What a damn shame.. another well built beauty gone. I'm glad they removed the refrigerator because otherwise that old R12, F-22, or R22 refrigerant would have damaged the ozone layer more than it already is.
It's sad people just walk away from these places kind of sad
That’s kinda creepy I wold stay 10 miles away I’m just being honest.
Love seeing that briefcase multimeter. They don't get any more classic or analog than that.
That was a great video. Thank you.
Hey Post 10, I live in a house that was built in the 20s so we have a furnace, but our walls have no insulation either. The plaster serves as pretty effective insulation during even very cold winter days. In fact, we were told that due to the style of wiring in our house, it can’t be insulated or the wires would overheat.
Btw, my mom grew up in Homewood, Pennsylvania on a farm and their house never had any plumbing, so they had to use an outhouse. They also never had a furnace or any forced air system, so they had to use wood burners and stoves.
I love old house, I wish this old house could talk. Thanks for taking us through. ❤️
If you moded the refrierator a little, it could serve again.
Mmmm, true. One could get that working again if they tried.
@@morganrussman Most times, they work already and you don't have to do anything with em!
@@arcticarrowhvacr Yeah, that's true.
Oh, a shelvador and an electrolux. My mom has both of those. The electrolux was from the 60s.
That was a cool house! Good example of what your house looks like when you depend on the fd
They don't build homes or appliances like that any more. Your right about that old Crosley probably could plug it in and would have turned on, old appliances where porcelain enamel that's why fire didn't touch it. Good job on the video.
Crosley Shelvador 1951 model: DC9
Awesome video, I love old houses.
What a beautiful house
When you said-"Wheres that vacuum cleaner". The camera was pointed right at it.
Study up on Summer Kitchens. Some homes had kitchens that were separate from the main home for a few reasons. Fire in the kitchen can only burn that building. Summer kitchens are sometimes off the main house to keep the rest of the house cooler in the summertime. Two front doors one is formal the other is not. One looks as if it led to the kitchen. Carrying in a blood dripping chicken inside wouldn't be proper in the main house.
How sad to see it burned to the ground😞
I love that old stove. Full of character.
Would have loved to restore that fridge, makes me a little sad just seeing it sit there to rot away
Pretty cool 👍 thanks for sharing!
I love old houses and old things. I Just like to entertain myself with thoughts of how living there was originally and what the family may have been like etc. We used to live in ND and history was everywhere, I LOVED it. Stuff like this makes me wanna go treasure hunting or something lol
I love the sound of a screen door. It reminds me of my relatives who lived in wood framed houses with no modern amenities.
There are a lot of places like this in rural Oregon. They were farmhouses and the property is worth a lot, but to get the house you have to buy all of the land. So many of them are eventually left to the elements, or taken down. My brother's house was built in 1870 on property that was owned by an old church - they were able to seperate it from their land so it could be saved. That's very rare because of land use laws. I hope they change those old laws so more of these can be saved!
Brave man for looking around spooky places like this but, do you have the nerve to spend the night in a sleeping bag in a house like that?.
5:50 our old house had those exact tiles on the ceiling too
this a great distraction from being in lock down at home! ty for sharing i love your vids xx i love this house too what a beauty
I like old houses like that. Very historic. Good video post 10.
