This is so much better than what most people do when they film a hoarder house cleanout for youtube, which is just show a bunch of blurry time-lapse footage. I like how you actually show what you find in real time. :)
I've been really interested in all the neat things you are finding in this house. The sad part is how much is stuffed in all the rooms and taking over the house... and taking over the lives of those who kept it all. So much that never saw the light of day and wasn't enjoyed or looked at by anyone. It becomes really sad when things get so packed in nobody even remembers what all is in there. Videos like this keep me motivated to sell, give and keep it at a minimum in my home. (I still have enough, but you can enjoy it. lol)
The baking nails! I am 68 and have my mother's baking nails. We never bake potatoes without them! So much better than wrapping them in foil to bake them. I love the crispy potato skins. Just wash, push the nail in and set them on the shelf in the oven. The nail conducts heat and makes the inside of the potato cook faster. I thought EVERYBODY knew that! Maybe it's an American thing! Mine are at least 50 years old!
We had a hinged thing that was like 4 baking nails hooked together in an X shape. You’d pull it open, and spear your potatoes on them, and then it would stand up in the oven. They worked! Would cut the baking time down by maybe 1/3? We always washed and then greased the potato skins, so they’d get all crispy. So tasty that way!
I worked 20+ years for a guy that did estate buy outs and clean ups. These videos bring back lots of good memories. It was hard work, but lots of fun too.
Okay, I guffawed! "Grampa's not getting out of THIS one!" I enjoyed watching the family help you sort through this house. I can't believe how they've all grown so quickly! Hugs to my girl, Melissa, with love from BanDana Gramma ♥
Can't believe how tall Jason has become! Abigail has gotten taller as well!! I love how your family rallies around to help get through the stuff in the house!!
I've been following you and your family since the Potter's House. These clean-outs have new meaning - for me - as my husband just passed (far too young) last weekend, and I'm looking at purging my own home of excess "stuff." Mainly because I don't want to leave a mess for my friends to deal with (we have no children). Thank you for sharing ❤
My sincerest condolences to you Nancy. I lost my husband in April (he was 56). My best friends came over this summer and helped me clean the garage of a lot of his stuff. It was very emotional, but also cathartic. I wish you all the best 💜
Nancy I too wish to offer my sympathy on your loss. I will be facing that situation sooner than I want (husband stage 4 cancer). We have so much stuff in a tiny house I am clearing out a little every now and then.. I use to have a candle and soap business. I had about 30 bars of soap in a bucket that I had made at least 13 years ago threw it out today not sure how safe it would be and I haven't used it so out it went. A little at a time. Bless you. Anna In Ohio
Going through my mind was the thought " how much of this is going to end up in another hoarder's house one day " . What a lot of stuff & what a job to clear it out.
That is a whole bunch of STUFF!!! I've been waiting since this morning because you said you were releasing this - I hope you don't make us wait too long for the next chapter. And yes, it is still exciting to see you go through the box - the thrill of discovery!
Doing watching your family help with clearing out that hoarder house and it's fun to see what they find. Along with your comedy it's quite interesting.
it was so much fun to hear the girls in the background being all excited when finding something they liked, lol, pure fun! Alexander and Melissa, you have beautiful children and I mean not just from the outside, they truly are beautiful people. Greetings from Belgium.
Wow! The kids are all teens...holy guacamole I've been watching you guys for a lot longer than I realized! What a great looking and working together family you guys are.😎❤️
I believe the little wooden box with two compartments is a tea 'caddy' or box - looks like its been re-purposed. Different types of loose tea would be in either compartment and the owner would mix their own blend of the two teas to their taste. They were usually lined with tin. My great-aunt had one she used every day. She was a vicar's housekeeper.
@@skeetervaz5393 It may have been repurposed, but I'm pretty sure it started its life as a tea caddy. Two compartments, both with lids and lined with tin. It was a typical design for a caddy. One compartment would have had black tea leaves and the other, green. People would have a preferred mix. My great aunt Mable, had 2 teaspoons of green and one of black for the breakfast pot and two black with one green for afternoon tea. A proper brown stoneware tea pot too. Fond memories, some forty-something years ago now. You don't hear of many Mables now ... 😄
Cellophane Tape is worth its weight in gold in the Junk Journaling world. And some that have turned yellow or brown are worth even more. Along with any used ledgers, letters, sales receipt books, braille books, old piano rolls, Old business letters, old advertisements, and the list goes on and on. Any old paper, etc.
"Why is this hammer warm?" ...cracked me up!! 😂 Alex, Melissa, and your kids, along with the furniture guys, put a big dent in the cleaning of the house. But, it looks like several more trips to go. Also, subscribed to Patrick's channel, per your last video and watched several video's of his from a couple of years ago. Thank you and take care.
Your son grew up over night, goodness. He was dug from your loins. Duplicate. You have a beautiful family. Have enjoyed watching the hoarder house episodes. Unbelievable what, why and how the rational behind the hoarding. Boggles the mind. I’m a nurse, I always need rationale lol. Oh my goodness, the crocks! The beautiful roll top desk. It is unending and I think you got your money back in the deal and helped a family!! Keep the great videos coming.
The previous owners may have been buying abandoned storage lockers, this explains the huge quantity and the multiples of items like roll top desks and tables. I love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Your hoarder house cleanouts are absolutely everything. It could be 3 hours long and I would still be here. We can see the real improvements of the cleaning and the all the great treasures inside the house at the same time, which for me it's the real pleasure of watching those videos. 🥰🥰
Those “bull” horns are actually from a Longhorn cow or steer. Hormones in the bull make their horns thicker and wider around, not longer. The steers and cows are the ones that grow longer horns.they can sell for quite a bit of money if you have the right buyer.
This a educational time for the kids as there is so much things that they have never seen before. I like way the girls where going crazy for clothes I haven’t seen in years. Lol love theses videos.
You have to take those cool rockabilly shirts Alex! They are so cool! Even the white one! Melissa loves the old cloths too! Me too! They don’t make new clothing that’s worth anything anymore…love this series! Hope to see some more of the old crew too! 😊😊😊
I found your channel not very long ago but enjoy it alot. Your content is interesting and is relaxing. I have probably actually watched most of your videos. Kinda crazy to see the change in your kids over obviously years in real life but watching alot in shorter time is interesting. I hope you do well in this house. I have a feeling you will. Good luck!
You're doing a great job for you and the kids and making Jenny very proud of you. Keep keeping that one foot forward even if it feels like you may fall into a deep well. God Bless.❤
The kids looked so thrilled. Just like my grandkids . Everytime I have a yard sales they run for the hills ha ha. They want no part of it but about 3 in the afternoon everybody in family pops up and says did I make any money ha ha
That was an American Girl Doll. If it's old enough, it is made by Pleasant Company and should be worth several hundred dollars. It looks like Samantha.
Oh Alex!! So much stuff!! At least you haven’t come across critters, their waste or food beyond use!! Apart from the dust it appears to be fairly clean! You are so very lucky to have your beautiful family. They seem to enjoy spending time with their dad. Another very interesting vlog. Do take care. Time for a special supper me thinks! God bless you all. Big hugs.
It was lovely to have the family there today. Lots of cool finds. It's hard to wrap my head around how much you know about so many things. The hoarder homes are so interesting. Thank you for taking us all on another awesome ride.
I'm sad when ever the video ends, I want it to keep going but I'm sure everyone is tired and want to go home. Looking forward to more and more videos Alex. 🥰🥰🥰
your children have done so much growing since you done the fantastic house with all the brand new power tools , sewing machines & leather, they are all beautiful children, & after you read that out loud those boys will cringe lol
One time in the 70's my dad was looking for a snack. He reached into the cupboard and found the people dog crackers. He thought they were for humans like animal crackers. We found him eating some. We all had a good laugh.
Hey Alex, make sure you look under the toilet tank. My Auntie was a saver of Everything! She taped money to the top of the tank lid. We only found it on a whim, one of the toilets was running. She taped to both tanks in her house. Then we started looking looking lol
Wow, I love the sealed cassettes box! Such amazing finds! And Abigail and Hannah have good taste of fashion, that's for sure. That place is full of 80s treasures.
Alexander, when all the furniture is gone, take a couple of 5 gallon buckets with you to the house during the sorting. They will provide you with a portable place to sit, and space to hold a few more things to take home to assess at the end of the day.
Your son Jason looks just like you. That box that fell on Melissa’s head I took a sharp breath. Really enjoying these episodes, look forward to you finding more treasures. With love from Uk.
Lots of people who make junk journals would be interested in the old books and any old paper! You should check into selling those items to the craft world!
This was so much fun. I love it when your family helps you out. "I found whatever this is.".....priceless! You are so patient in explaining everything to the kids. You and Melissa are great parents.
Very interesting video...loved seeing the whole family pitch in, they sure were able to get lots done ...Love seeing what's in all the boxes, always looking forward to your next video/daily adventure. Have a good rest.... till next time...be well!
Definitely look at selling any vintage clothes that aren't claimed! Those knit 80s sweaters like the pastel one around the midpoint of the video are highly coveted among the Japanese fashion communities! The bloomers might sell as well, but probably not for much unless they're from a big Japanese brand.
This is so much better than what most people do when they film a hoarder house cleanout for youtube, which is just show a bunch of blurry time-lapse footage. I like how you actually show what you find in real time. :)
Exactly!
He definitely needs a go-pro camera so he can have two free hands!
I had forgotten how much fun it was to see these “hoarder”house videos!🥰
The glasses with the “ice-cubes” are extremely collectible at the moment!
Yes to the ice cube glassware!
Lol, Abigail can throw a look like her mother does!!!! Lol
she looks like her mother

OMG the "Casket Cemet" joke made me laugh SO LOUD. lol Alex you remind me so much about my dad. YOu and Jason are just like how me and my dad are.
I worked 20+ years for a guy that did estate buy outs and clean ups. These videos bring back lots of good memories. It was hard work, but lots of fun too.
I come here for the treasures and leave with a good chuckle. Always make me laugh
Haha I don’t know why 5:30 made me laugh so hard. Such a typical dad/teenager interaction 😂
I was waiting for ...." Now turn it the other way"🤣

Huge hugs back ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, I did too. It was the best laugh of the day!
THOSE CASSETTES!!!
Also, your kids look older. Good thing you and Melissa never age.
HAHAHA! Hannah's confusion re the reel--to-reel recorder was funny! I would never have graduated with my degree in French without one!😆
The sheer volume of STUFF is simply mind boggling!
Omg. Jason is a straight up man. He’s adorable
I was thinking he is "teen idol" material!
The boys’ comebacks prove you are their father 😂
“When you have to explain it, that’s how you know it’s a good joke” cracked me up!
P😊è
I am always amazed at how much can be stuffed away. This place is really full. Kudos to all family today. Y'all have really made a difference.
Can't believe how tall Jason has become! Abigail has gotten taller as well!! I love how your family rallies around to help get through the stuff in the house!!
I absolutely love these hoarder house videos. It is so much fun living vicariously through the digs!
"Casket c- Oh, I thought it said 'Casket cement'! Ooooooo! Grampa's not getting out of this one!" 😂😂
I've been following you and your family since the Potter's House.
These clean-outs have new meaning - for me - as my husband just passed (far too young) last weekend, and I'm looking at purging my own home of excess "stuff." Mainly because I don't want to leave a mess for my friends to deal with (we have no children).
Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I think "stuff" multiplie when we sleep. So good luck purging.
My sincerest condolences to you Nancy. I lost my husband in April (he was 56). My best friends came over this summer and helped me clean the garage of a lot of his stuff. It was very emotional, but also cathartic. I wish you all the best 💜
Blessings to you🙏 at this time of loss.
Nancy I too wish to offer my sympathy on your loss. I will be facing that situation sooner than I want (husband stage 4 cancer). We have so much stuff in a tiny house I am clearing out a little every now and then.. I use to have a candle and soap business. I had about 30 bars of soap in a bucket that I had made at least 13 years ago threw it out today not sure how safe it would be and I haven't used it so out it went. A little at a time. Bless you.

Nancy blessings to you. I quickly became a widow at age 39! That was extremely difficult and with two teenage daughters.
Oh my goodness , how Jason and Abigail have changed . 😮
Gosh I love that Craftsman grandfather clock! Beautiful! The kids are having a great time, it's fun watching them discover the eighties!
Yes I’d be finding a place for that in my home if I were Alex
Yes I’d be finding a place for that in my home if I were Alex
It might be a lot of work but what a cool thing for those kids to look back on when they are grown
It's great to see your family working together on this project.
Going through my mind was the thought " how much of this is going to end up in another hoarder's house one day " . What a lot of stuff & what a job to clear it out.

My mom got a kirby in the 70's. All parts are warranteed for life.
What a handsome family you all are. I'm enjoying the clear-out and look forward to the sort.
All those 80's things are SO desirable right now! It's awesome to see the whole family helping.
I LOVE Alex and Steve’s back and forth riffing!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doing watching your family help with clearing out that hoarder house and it's fun to see what they find. Along with your comedy it's quite interesting.
Cool. Good seeing the youth all chipping in and working together, fun times!
I’m from Red Wing, so cool you found some RW pottery! I enjoy your videos and am so envious on all the treasures you find!!
You must have a lot of their pottery down there!
It sure was fun to see the entire family and Hannah working together. What a houseful of treasures!
Omg, your kids are so much older than when I first started watching! Such a wonderful family ❤️
Thanks Alexander and Melissa for sharing your family from little to the amazing adults they are.
first video I watched was Alex cleaning up an airstream with a tiny Abigail helping
it was so much fun to hear the girls in the background being all excited when finding something they liked, lol, pure fun!
Alexander and Melissa, you have beautiful children and I mean not just from the outside, they truly are beautiful people.
Greetings from Belgium.
Wow! The kids are all teens...holy guacamole I've been watching you guys for a lot longer than I realized!
What a great looking and working together family you guys are.😎❤️
It's so fun to see you open each box one by one. There is no rhyme or reason and that makes it fascinating!
I believe the little wooden box with two compartments is a tea 'caddy' or box - looks like its been re-purposed. Different types of loose tea would be in either compartment and the owner would mix their own blend of the two teas to their taste. They were usually lined with tin. My great-aunt had one she used every day. She was a vicar's housekeeper.
Yes I thought it was a tea caddy too the remnants of the metal lining gave it away
where abouts was that box shown? Can you post a time stamp of around when?> Thank you! I'm curious now :)
33:33
I thought it was a sewing kit. The metal would be to hold needles, buttons. ?

Every time I watch these it helps me clean my house.

I'm glad everyone was able to help out today! Also glad you're finding stuff to sell!
Alex, I watched your livestream and I want to apologize for asking you to use a GoPro. You made good points.
Hurray!!!! I've always wondered if he was able to get any converts. 🙂 His style has always made absolute sense to me. Thanks for your post. 👍
That was a great episode. Love seeing the whole family working together. Had a good laugh over the casket cement.
Alexander and Melissa your children are so grown up. Beautiful family you have. ❤
It’s nice the majority of items are already boxed.
Trust me we can see the floating dust! Your kids are so helpful and endearing. Hi Melissa!
"Why is this hammer warm?" ...cracked me up!! 😂

Keep the great videos coming.
What a wonderful family! Love seeing this hoarder series & a true professional at work. So much knowledge. Wow!
That weird woodbox is a tea caddy and the band The relatives are still performing.
Unreal how many really nice things you are finding!
Your show is a great antidote to consumerism.
I so enjoy watching you with the kids. The good natured ribbing just makes me giggle.
I'm glad you are finding good saleable things!!
The previous owners may have been buying abandoned storage lockers, this explains the huge quantity and the multiples of items like roll top desks and tables. I love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Indeed. I’m not sure they were exactly hoarders. Maybe resellers that ran out of time.
Your hoarder house cleanouts are absolutely everything. It could be 3 hours long and I would still be here. We can see the real improvements of the cleaning and the all the great treasures inside the house at the same time, which for me it's the real pleasure of watching those videos. 🥰🥰

Melissa & the crew's witty comments are great! "You know it's a good joke if you have to explain it." 😅
Wow! Your kids are growing up so quick... though I have two that are 25 and 27, and I swear, I just had them yesterday!
Ok... the Casket Cement actually had me LOLing.... rare. That's so something I would see/read.
This a educational time for the kids as there is so much things that they have never seen before. I like way the girls where going crazy for clothes I haven’t seen in years. Lol love theses videos.
You guys look great!! Good to see you again and so nice you found this house to clear out!! Family is everything!!! Greetings from The Netherlands
Those are DiSorono ice cube glasses. They are collectables. Nice to see your whole family helping! Excited to see what else you find!
You have to take those cool rockabilly shirts Alex! They are so cool! Even the white one! Melissa loves the old cloths too! Me too! They don’t make new clothing that’s worth anything anymore…love this series! Hope to see some more of the old crew too! 😊😊😊

Kirby vacuums are awesome. I have a Gen 3 my parents got in 1990 and it works perfectly still. It’s better than any other vacuum I’ve ever had.
It would be wonderful, if you could make a video about antique and vintage jewelry and their markings :) Love all of your videos!
You're doing a great job for you and the kids and making Jenny very proud of you. Keep keeping that one foot forward even if it feels like you may fall into a deep well. God Bless.❤
As shallow of a point this is...dang, what a good looking group of people!
The kids looked so thrilled. Just like my grandkids . Everytime I have a yard sales they run for the hills ha ha. They want no part of it but about 3 in the afternoon everybody in family pops up and says did I make any money ha ha
This is an absurd amount of stuff to tackle! You deserve to find something that is worth your purchase price triple digits wow!❤😂
That was an American Girl Doll. If it's old enough, it is made by Pleasant Company and should be worth several hundred dollars. It looks like Samantha.
Oh Alex!! So much stuff!! At least you haven’t come across critters, their waste or food beyond use!! Apart from the dust it appears to be fairly clean! You are so very lucky to have your beautiful family. They seem to enjoy spending time with their dad. Another very interesting vlog. Do take care. Time for a special supper me thinks!

I wish I had your energy. love the show. Canadians seem so honest.
It was lovely to have the family there today. Lots of cool finds. It's hard to wrap my head around how much you know about so many things. The hoarder homes are so interesting. Thank you for taking us all on another awesome ride.
Nice longhorn cattle horn display. Boss Hogg would be proud. Lol
I'm sad when ever the video ends, I want it to keep going but I'm sure everyone is tired and want to go home. Looking forward to more and more videos Alex. 🥰🥰🥰
your children have done so much growing since you done the fantastic house with all the brand new power tools , sewing machines & leather, they are all beautiful children, & after you read that out loud those boys will cringe lol
Those kids are incredible!
This is so exciting I'm really looking forward to seeing what you find with each box
One time in the 70's my dad was looking for a snack. He reached into the cupboard and found the people dog crackers. He thought they were for humans like animal crackers. We found him eating some. We all had a good laugh.
I keep drooling over that mirror in the master bedroom
Holy Moley! Jason is so dang grown up and Handsom!
WOW has Jason got tall. I like his haircut too.
Hey Alex, make sure you look under the toilet tank. My Auntie was a saver of Everything! She taped money to the top of the tank lid. We only found it on a whim, one of the toilets was running. She taped to both tanks in her house. Then we started looking looking lol
Wow, I love the sealed cassettes box! Such amazing finds! And Abigail and Hannah have good taste of fashion, that's for sure. That place is full of 80s treasures.
Alexander, when all the furniture is gone, take a couple of 5 gallon buckets with you to the house during the sorting. They will provide you with a portable place to sit, and space to hold a few more things to take home to assess at the end of the day.
Your son Jason looks just like you. That box that fell on Melissa’s head I took a sharp breath. Really enjoying these episodes, look forward to you finding more treasures. With love from Uk.
Alex you are a blessed man, such a beautiful family ❤
I just love the digging around the hoarder houses and sharing your suprises, delights and disappointments 🙂
Wow, looks like a lot of work! But it was fun to see the family helping out today! Hopefully it all keeps going along smoothly for you.
Ooh I love the lampshades in the corner by the throne chair! So many super cool things!
Great episode Alex and family!!! Nice that you allow everyone pick and choose things to keep for themselves Alex!!!
Cheers, Bernie.
Lots of people who make junk journals would be interested in the old books and any old paper! You should check into selling those items to the craft world!
Omg Hannah came to help! She's a keeper! 🤗🤗
This was so much fun. I love it when your family helps you out. "I found whatever this is.".....priceless! You are so patient in explaining everything to the kids. You and Melissa are great parents.
Very interesting video...loved seeing the whole family pitch in, they sure were able to get lots done ...Love seeing what's in all the boxes, always looking forward to your next video/daily adventure. Have a good rest.... till next time...be well!
