I live in Michigan, near the "famous" Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Just in my county alone, there are hundreds of old, abandoned houses. I love you guys:) It would be awesome if you could come explore in my area!!
Always feel bad seeing some of the newer houses abandoned like that. Just when the mold starts creeping down the wall and the place isn't totally destroyed (well... kinda is) and you just think, if somebody were to buy this property, which parts could they save (if any)? Probably none, but I find myself thinking about it. I know in some cases, it is usually a death and the family kind of just leaves the home there to fall apart. Or in the case with somebody with a mortgage, why the bank wouldn't go send somebody out to inspect and repair the property and then try to flip it and get it back out there in the market. Instead, just lets it fall into ruin. :( Really enjoy your videos! Keep up the awesome work!
Another well done video, thanks for the tour. You guys are one of the best urbexers. Most don't do as thorough of a job as you do. Take care guys and be safe.
Great video. We had a friend of our give my wife and I two computers like that. They both had dual core CPUs. I used it to set up a nice internet computer for my wife and I think the dual core Intel in them is better than my triple core AMD (due to hyperthreading) so I may just swap mine out for it. But, they are being given away these days or sold very cheap. Also, don't even stop the "reet reet" thing or other cutsie noises. My wife and I are in our 50s, married 32 years and still act silly, keeps you laughing and close. :)
I love your explores. You just never know what you are going to find. It is sad that people up and leave like they do and leave a lot of stuff behind. If only we knew why they left. Great explore. Can't wait for the next.
Most definitely, it's what makes you stand out from the rest and I also like when Bekah says "oh no" when she sees a cuddly toy left behind too lol. xxx
Very interesting house, amazed that the computer tower is still there. But it does have the old HP logo on it so I think they updated it around 2009-2010, can't remember exactly. I still have so many videos of yours to catch up on, just haven't been on the computer much at all lately. And Bekah, calling the bathroom 'dumpy', that wasn't very punny. LOL I also like the random garden hose roller in the girl's room...with a can of beer? And I still can't understand why people would want to smoke indoors. Not only is it just a gross habit to begin with, but it causes so much dirt and allergens and extra work than if you were to just go outside instead.
+Viper Jay 5 we call a lot of things dumpy and Dont even think about it, that bathroom was certainly very dumpy. We also don't understand why anybody would want to smoke indoors, or smoke at all, it smells so bad. Makes me sick.
+Viper Jay 5 Reason a lot of people smoke indoors is because they can and it is a major convenience factor. Also look at this way if you're watching a movie or television show say on netflix and you get enthralled in the story and action/suspense then you wouldn't want to go outdoors to smoke cause once you do that then it gets you out of the mood to start watching again. Just one reason why people smoke indoors that way they stay enthralled in said movie or television show. Plus they are comfortable and really hate to to be forced to get out of that comfort zone. Another factor is weather. People do not enjoy going outdoors to smoke when it is bone snapping cold outside. They would rather stay inside where it is warm and cozy. They also do not want to go outside to smoke when it is pouring down rain. They do not want to catch the flu/cold. Especially when they have a very important job they have to do for example electrician or plant worker at a power plant. The smokers do not want to go outside when it is body melting hot outside either. They would rather stay in where it is nice and cool. Hope this has answered your question. Have a magical and fortunate month of May.
I have watched quite a few of your vid,they are all so interesting. You are such a lovely couple. I like that there is no bad language,it is refreshing as so many people seem to need to use it all the time. Rick...I love your reet reet reet
makes one kind of wonder what the story is behind all that recent abandon stuff like the file of recites. bagged Christmas decorations kids toys piles of clothes. to just up and leave all that behind. and wonder if some disgruntled family remember trashed it like that. Who knows . maybe a family died in a car wreck or who ever had been incarcerated? to bad you couldn't find out more about these places and why they are left in such a state.. That would be interesting.. Would there be anyway to find out . Like pubic records etc. what ever there seems to be something sad that may have happened.. I enjoy your channel and looking for your next adventure,,,Stay safe and always take caution..
You found an old electric typewriter near the end. Funny story: I bought a used one from a co-worker's son and it needed a new ribbon. When I called the company I found out it was stolen! Be careful if any of you decide to "pick up" any merchandise when exploring!
No that computer isn't very old at all. Although you probably shouldn't because of information that is on it you should have considered taking that computer because it almost certainly will just go to waste.
Most likely the computer had a virus or had stopped working all together. I have 2 houses that I rent out and both of them are total loss because the renters busted the walls out, took all the electrical wiring, spray painted everything, and they had a bunch of dogs and the smell is so bad, they broke all the windows out, kicked the doors in.
The phone is a military grade phone. I know because my dad use to have one. They can take the desert heat. I would take the hard drive out of the computer and look who owned it. There might not be a body under the bed it may be a million dollars inside it lol.
I kinda think someone is coming back. I know the bedroom don't seem setup, but the pillow on the floor and the TV in the bedroom kinda makes me think someone is coming back. The bathroom doesn't seem like I wouldn't use it without cleaning it...but i dunno. Clearly this house isn't gonna have old stuff. LOL Anyway, maybe you will find a more ancient house later rather than modern urban trash.
I think the reason that stuff gets left behind is that the occupants was forced to move. Either by eviction or both parents had an opportunity they could not pass up. Say the husband/father got promoted and is in charge of a satellite business or is in charge of starting a new franchise for the company he works for. The wife/mother could have the same done for her. Or they just got fed up with living in that particular location and wanted a change of scenery. Another option is some family needs them to be close by for medical reasons. It is sad and disheartening that families have to leave precious memories behind the way they are forced to do. However it is what it is. All we can do is hope they got some precious memories at the new location and will return to collect the stuff they did leave behind. I tend to look at the glass as half full and they got a huge chance for great advancement in a new career by the Chief Operating Officer. As well as Chief Executive Officer. I try to find the positive in the situation at hand though. Have a magical and fortunate month of May. I say that to everybody out there.
Exploring with Rick & Bekah, That could be a strong possibility; Though highly doubt it. There are a lot of people that can tune out outside noise. However, these residents could have gotten sick and tired of all the noise. Not to get vulgar or anything some people will go mad and start to kill other people due to excessive noise and such. I just love to think they had a chance of better careers and could offer their children a better future. Yes I too hate traffic noise. I live in an apartment building that is close to two roads and both are busy up until about 11:45 PM. Starting time for the noise is at 6:37 AM. combine that with loud vehicle stereos and you could go bonkers. I live in Sullivan Indiana by the way. For a small farming town it sure is way too busy for it's own good. If what you say is true then I could easily see finding a quieter place to live to regain sanity and to be a lot more calm. However I want to remain positive and think they moved because of greener fields and greater opportunities for the family in question. Wishing you all the best with hopes of getting more subscribers may 2017 through 2018 see great changes for you all.
Wonder if that really was nicotine residue on the walls or if they tried to heat with kerosene heaters and diesel fuel. I lived in a house I renovated and most of it smoked up due to that. It was a mess. People sure left a lot of stuff behind.
Should have taken the tower with you. If there are no parts you can salvage, you can have recycled. Kind of a hazard laying there anyway. Love these vids. Like looking into the past.
I'm thinking they won the lottery & got outta Dodge! Lol. It's a positive thought. Seriously though while watching your videos I think of all the ppl that r homeless. A small percentage of these homes r salvageable! Keep up the vids! 👍🏽
R&B, I like the graphics (R&B) did I start that? At 2:12 the silver ring and the gray slotted disc was a stove top grill. It goes over a gas burner. You fill the ring with water to control the grease as it flows off. Very 1990's. I hate to see you thinking about computers when you're off duty, it's like you can't get away. BUT (again) - maybe if you quit the job and just do videos.
+Gene Conlon you did start that, you gave us the idea, thanks! It does not bother me to think about computers when I am off duty, I actually like computers, and spend some time working on them at home or building them for fun, I even have gotten Bekah somewhat interested in them. We would love to have me quit my job so we could just do this all the time, we did open a patreon account. It will be interesting to see how many people would support us. We would really like to do this all the time. Thanks for your support and keep the comments coming, we really appreciate you.
R&B, I'm honored to be part of the creative process. I'm also checking with my IT guy here at work to see if I can subscribe. (you know how those IT guys are) I watch here at work and luckily I can get away with it -BUT - I work in a seriously sensitive area. Any computer glitch would be really bad. Want to support. 10K...
R&B, I would support you guys as I could each month. You make my days when I see a new edition from you. Keep it up and Please heed our pleading to wear masks. We want you two to be healthy for lots of years. Love y'all!!!!
This is the 2nd video I have watched of ya'lls. I like your raw way of exploration but I wish Rebekah was a little more enthusiastic voice. I swear if she read me a story I would get the best sleep of my life. Not being mean her voice is beautiful just very calming.
They left the computer behind because it had Vista installed on it.
😂🤣 yep
You could just install Windows 7
I live in Michigan, near the "famous" Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Just in my county alone, there are hundreds of old, abandoned houses. I love you guys:) It would be awesome if you could come explore in my area!!
Nice video! I like your sound effects! Keep up the interesting work!
The front door was nice, lol. Surprised the vandals hadn't broke the glass in it. Thanks for sharing.
Eve A I thought the same thing, was nice wasn't it lol

Thanks Scott. It is sad to see these places for sure.
Another well done video, thanks for the tour. You guys are one of the best urbexers. Most don't do as thorough of a job as you do. Take care guys and be safe.
Thank you hey. :)

Thanks Neil. We won't stop. Even if people keep complaining. :)
I have never seen a typewriter like that before. It looks like the missing link between the most modern typewriters and the first personal computers.
Its a word processor.
I happen to like "Ree Ree Ree". Another great video guys!
Glad you like Fred !?
I love your explores. You just never know what you are going to find. It is sad that people up and leave like they do and leave a lot of stuff behind. If only we knew why they left. Great explore. Can't wait for the next.
First time I see you guys channel, it is awesome :)
nice to meet other explorers
Hey Anthony. Thanks. Nice to meet you too. :)
Hi, love watching all your videos and I happen to like the reet reet reet thing lol. xx
Yay a reet reet fan. :)
Most definitely, it's what makes you stand out from the rest and I also like when Bekah says "oh no" when she sees a cuddly toy left behind too lol. xxx
Exploring with Rick & Bekah I’m a reek reek fan too, Rick! lol 😆

I to enjoy your sound effects Rick and theres nothing wrong with it,lol 😅 i love your videos 👍...
Thanks Cheryl !
Exploring with Rick & Bekah 😉
Another great video! I was sooo excited y'all posted a new one!
Hi guys, keep up the vlogs, they are awesome to watch... Blessings you both.
Thanks uso :)
Not an old typewriter, it was a "word processor". They came after typewriters, but before PCs
The irony of standing on a box of brand-new trash bags in a room full of garbage. It was in the kitchen.
Your reee-reee-reee is amusing. That house kinda give me the creeps.
You didn't even try to power on the cell phone??? Anywho good video. Thanks.
Very nice explore, that computer was fairly new could have been a stolen one you never know.
Yet I'm wondering if it was actually stolen as well
It would be funny if Rick drank the applejuice and got absolutely drunk off it.
I have watched quite a few of your vid,they are all so interesting.
You are such a lovely couple.
I like that there is no bad language,it is refreshing as so many people seem to need to use it all the time.
Rick...I love your reet reet reet
Thank you mal. Also so refreshing to see such kind comments. We appreciate your support. Looking forward to seeing more of your comments.
couches always flipped over because scavengers are checking to see if theres any bread hidden in them
Think that "old typewriter" is a word processor as they were called some years ago.
The plastic jug of orange juice looked like a jug of urine. Yuk.
It was an apple juice container. Likely apple juice.
Exploring with Rick & Bekah Okay. Interesting video, thanks for uploading.
Exploring with Rick & Bekah always the pickles lol
Neat video, some cool stuff in that house :)
I would love to work on that computer
makes one kind of wonder what the story is behind all that recent abandon stuff like the file of recites. bagged Christmas decorations kids toys piles of clothes. to just up and leave all that behind. and wonder if some disgruntled family remember trashed it like that. Who knows . maybe a family died in a car wreck or who ever had been incarcerated? to bad you couldn't find out more about these places and why they are left in such a state.. That would be interesting.. Would there be anyway to find out . Like pubic records etc. what ever there seems to be something sad that may have happened.. I enjoy your channel and looking for your next adventure,,,Stay safe and always take caution..
Thanks Dominick. We always wonder too. No time to search out most places. We lead busy lives.
I think it’s funny how he says Hello is anybody home every time in some of the worse homes! Have you ever found anyone in a house?
A oh how I love to watch your abandoned house show there so good I love them you two are great
I
Thank you Catherine.
...Looks like it's been abandoned within the last 5 years...No more than a decade at the most...Lay odds, that computer won't be there much longer...
That last outside room may have been where the washer and dryer went. there used to be a lot of houses like that.
Rick I love reek reek and your such a gentleman to your wife. Taking her hand to help her and making sure she doesn’t fall through the floors. Bah!!
You found an old electric typewriter near the end. Funny story: I bought a used one from a co-worker's son and it needed a new ribbon. When I called the company I found out it was stolen! Be careful if any of you decide to "pick up" any merchandise when exploring!
A lot of people dump garbage at abandoned houses if they don't have garbage pickup
Yearbooks are a special thing.
You guys should make shirts with drawings of the toys you find.... and they say ohhh noooo!
Ha yeah that would be fun. :)
No that computer isn't very old at all. Although you probably shouldn't because of information that is on it you should have considered taking that computer because it almost certainly will just go to waste.
what a shame people are dumping their trash like that!
It was a reason they left that computer hardware inside. Probably has a bad internet connection, or it wore out.
It is so sad to see all the vandalizion
Rick that could be urine in that Apple Juice bottle.
Most likely the computer had a virus or had stopped working all together. I have 2 houses that I rent out and both of them are total loss because the renters busted the walls out, took all the electrical wiring, spray painted everything, and they had a bunch of dogs and the smell is so bad, they broke all the windows out, kicked the doors in.
That's crazy .... did insurance cover it ??
The phone is a military grade phone. I know because my dad use to have one. They can take the desert heat. I would take the hard drive out of the computer and look who owned it. There might not be a body under the bed it may be a million dollars inside it lol.
Definitely a million dollars ! No doubt lol
If I could I would take items,(if they were worth taking)...like old photos,books....I see it as "saving" and appreciating old thing's.
from my guess this house is left to rot since 2006-2010 based of the old phone but i can be wrong thought
Sounds about right.
Arief Raditya I would say about 2009-2012 the computer looks 08-09ish.
May 4, 2018 9:53 pm
9:09 YIKES..what is that dripping out of the attic..looks like squid guts
where is this home? would like to talk to owers to see if they want to sell.
Guess what I'm doing tomorrow morning?
Washing my walls. Lol
its sure spooky to see shadows of pictures.
Yea
Yes, so many ghost pictures. Pretty sad.
I love "reet-reet"!!!
I kinda think someone is coming back. I know the bedroom don't seem setup, but the pillow on the floor and the TV in the bedroom kinda makes me think someone is coming back. The bathroom doesn't seem like I wouldn't use it without cleaning it...but i dunno. Clearly this house isn't gonna have old stuff. LOL Anyway, maybe you will find a more ancient house later rather than modern urban trash.
This one was a change of pace for us. :)
You will find something good eventually probably. It just takes time.
nice door
I think the reason that stuff gets left behind is that the occupants was forced to move. Either by eviction or both parents had an opportunity they could not pass up.

Thanks Michael. They probably didn't like the traffic. This place was crazy close to the road
Exploring with Rick & Bekah, That could be a strong possibility; Though highly doubt it. There are a lot of people that can tune out outside noise. However, these residents could have gotten sick and tired of all the noise. Not to get vulgar or anything some people will go mad and start to kill other people due to excessive noise and such.

Thank you Michael. Appreciate it
in a small city and hate the ambient noise inflicted upon our neighborhood. If I had a choice I would move for sure
Bad typing! "I live" in a small city....
that apple juice has probably turned hard..take a swig you may get a buzz :D
sending my love to you both😇
Thanks carol ! 😁👍
For laughs click on 'CC" on any UA-cam video. Bekah and Rick's vids re great but they're even better with closed captioning!
Our audio isn't the best. I'd imagine it really messes things up. :p
That juice may be someones urine also.
PC will not be there for long especially if they know how good Vista , hp is . The best
lol yeah vista is the ultimate OS for the PC enthusiast 🤣
No spyware No updates No problem
Mhm.
hello.... everybody in!?
Poor computer.
It could of gotten freecycled.
U sould of took it and gave it to a poor gamer as a gift lol.
🤔
I wish one of the trashers would come on here and explain just why they do what they do.
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Keep them coming.
Wonder if that really was nicotine residue on the walls or if they tried to heat with kerosene heaters and diesel fuel. I lived in a house I renovated and most of it smoked up due to that. It was a mess. People sure left a lot of stuff behind.
Maybe not nicotine residue, I get those same marks from heating with a wood stove.
I wish there was a love button. squeak squeak squeak 😂
thanks for the video you are both wonderful
After talking about Rick getting drunk. Rick seriously open that beer and chug it. You or Bekah aught to one time.
They stole the computer but they didn't come back for it. It has an SSD and Ubuntu installed on it, company computer.
I used to have a drinking problem, this Oct. will be 15 yrs sober!
👍
Kylie Reynolds 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Should have taken the tower with you. If there are no parts you can salvage, you can have recycled. Kind of a hazard laying there anyway. Love these vids. Like looking into the past.
They don’t take anything.
Ooh a cellphone.
Lol pickles.
Do you not have waste disposal in your city?
We want to see the house not the useless stuff on it
Looks like a squatters homestead
New front door-knob and lock not installed..
+Ad Mirer do you think someone is trying to fix this place up?
Possibly..maybe they gave up when they saw the house's condition
I would take that shiny computer!
I'm thinking they won the lottery & got outta Dodge! Lol. It's a positive thought. Seriously though while watching your videos I think of all the ppl that r homeless. A small percentage of these homes r salvageable! Keep up the vids! 👍🏽
R&B, I like the graphics (R&B) did I start that? At 2:12 the silver ring and the gray slotted disc was a stove top grill. It goes over a gas burner. You fill the ring with water to control the grease as it flows off. Very 1990's. I hate to see you thinking about computers when you're off duty, it's like you can't get away. BUT (again) - maybe if you quit the job and just do videos.
+Gene Conlon you did start that, you gave us the idea, thanks!

What do you mean by the last few sentences ? 10k? Oh lol I see. Subscribers. Click the little subscribe button below our video. I'm an IT guy.
and why did not turn the computer?
We just left it alone. We had no reason to do anything with it.
R&B, I would support you guys as I could each month. You make my days when I see a new edition from you. Keep it up and Please heed our pleading to wear masks. We want you two to be healthy for lots of years. Love y'all!!!!
Thanks Linda. :) we do wear masks occasionally. You'll see a video of that in the coming weeks or so
This is the 2nd video I have watched of ya'lls. I like your raw way of exploration but I wish Rebekah was a little more enthusiastic voice. I swear if she read me a story I would get the best sleep of my life. Not being mean her voice is beautiful just very calming.
Bekah actually laughed at loud at what you said lol. Great comment. :)
Keep up the curiosity. I'm vicariously living through ya'll. Please wear pants :)
Will wear pants in cooler months. :)
