    We inherited a hoarder's house, but they were super organized about it and hoarded for so long that they started using the hoard as structural support for more storage areas. We've been here 16 months and I've just now discovered the back of the utility room. Depression Era level hoarding is no joke.

    This house reminds me of what happened when a friend of mine cleared out her aunt's house. The aunt was in her 90's, fell, had to go into assisted living. The aunt lived a "spartan" life and sometimes people from church would bring meals over. My friend was going to throw out a shoe box, decided it would be better to look inside and found the box full of money. Then there was the too-thick dishtowel that was two towels sewed together with money inside. My friend said, "...we lost count at $225,000". The money was invested and used to support the aunt and maybe also the aunt's sister.

    I know this was posted years ago but some of the pieces looked to be done with the Raku firing technique. It’s used with a quick reduction process with carbon material. when glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire (newspapers). This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen, which creates a myriad of colors within the glaze. So the newspaper hoarding most likely was apart of her pottery.

    Hi Adam, i wanted to tell you to NOT over clean any pottery you find as it is more valuable with the effects of the kiln firing left in tact. This is particularly true of pottery fired using primitive methods. As an art major from the dark ages (many years ago), and one who has fired pots using dung, tires, salt glaze and more standard and commercial kilns, it is best to leave the effects of the firing process intact. What may look like dirt might in fact be carbon or other effects of firing. A light dusting should suffice. If the future owner wants to clean it ,that is on them. Anyone familiar with primitive firing methods would want that. Thanks and I love your videos. Also be sure to open any windows or doors you can while cleaning. Invest in some passive electric heaters (don't over stress the electrical system without checking it out) and check out mold killers. Amonium Chloride is the best and can be bought retail as a product called Microban.
