Thanks for watching!
Thank you for not judging the old lady who lived there.
Best find so far is Hans... good help is priceless
Amein to that !
Also a Pat's fan !
It’s Hans’ brother !!!
Hans is such a bro
Love this comment! Amen!
This is much better than what they show on TV. You show a no-nonsense process of clearing out a house without any fake drama.
Yes. No fake drama, which you see more and more these days.
I agree 💯 % w/ T.Alexander and Lynne Clark
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.
1wq
No matter how long these videos are, they are always too short!
NChant101-I know! I don't want them to end!
I know this is fun and just wow!
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.
That's the way so many elderly have done and still do out. Money stashed everywhere. 😳 It's crazy but a windfall for the one who inherits the mess. 👍
Is the $225,000 in Canadian money or US Dollars?
So many don't have a clue how inflation works...
@@kathykelley8086 This was U.S. dollars. I don't recall the precise year but it was in the 1980's. Maybe mid-1980's to my best recollection.
Yo creo que se quedó con el dinero 🤔
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.
But does it spark joy?
😂😂😂😂
KON MARIE METHOD😂😂
Now THAT is funny!
That is meta kkkkkkkk
What?
Fantastic! As you de-layer, your homeowner gets younger and younger. It's always very intriguing to see the life a person lived through their possessions. And in a strange way you have created a time machine that is honoring her life. Well done.
I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying this! Please take us through the renovation of the house, too! Please!
Murl Thomas-YES, YES, YES!!!!!!
Definitely!!!
Yes I’d love that!
Watching 3 years after the fact and still loving it!
If you haven't already tossed the personal pictures and journals, keep them. An art biographer or historian would consider this stuff gold
I would first offer them to the family. It shouldn't be all about money
@@firstman9273 Why is the lady/artist/hoarder who previously owned the home deceased?
@@MindsetMastery75 an artist prominent in the 70s would probably have been at least 25 at that time, so that would be 74 right now, average lifespan is around 72, and they could well have been older, coupled with no one having been in the house for quite some time (evident from the mess) along with mention in the previous video of family having said they didn't think much pottery was in the house because they got it all that would strongly suggest the previous owner is in fact dead, or living in a retirement home.
@@ithraldharzul6887 Oh believe me that thing you said about nobody living in that house recently because of it "being evident from the mess". Nooooo. Haven't you seen that show "Hoarders"? That is how they choose to live. They live right inside all of that mess. I have actually seen hoarders even worse than her that actually barely have room enough to lay down because there was so much junk in their house but they still manage to do it. I am positive when she lived there, she slept right there amongst all that junk she loved! But you are probably right about her being dead. I kinda thought she was dead also. Just wondering if anyone knew for sure?
@@MindsetMastery75 Whether deceased or in a care home, the family would want the photos.
I have since learned through watching the other videos. That the youtuber does give the photos to the family. Also that she is still alive and pretty well. You should watch the other videos.
This is better than watching a mystery show on TV. This is real life mystery show. Love what you are finding. Your mother law is just wonderful to help you. It is good to see you wife is good with you doing this. Hope you bring her next time to see the house.
CJ Hernandez Yes! So much better is right, I’d love to sort and go through stuff that hasn’t seen the light of day for awhile 😁😁
Literally had a shower, Pjs on, all snug in bed with a cup of tea & a bagel ready to sit down and enjoy this vid! Been waiting for it to drop, it’s like a new favourite show or something lol
Thank you so much! I’m glad that you are coming along for our adventure
LOL bet you felt like you needed another shower after watching that! Seeing all that dust and grime and the cobwebs just makes you feel grimey doesn't it! lol
I can totally relate. We often watch the episodes as a family at home! These episodes definitely rival any of the television based antiques shows!
@@poosmate lol yeah but I still enjoy it, it's kinda cathartic... Like watching hoarders or home makeover shows
Fucking dork!
I love how she kept everything in boxes and bags. And boxes in bags. And bags in boxes. And boxes in boxes. And.... (you get the picture)
Very common among "savers". Even how she wrapped the jewelry is so common, makes me wonder why it's done essentially the same way by many. Interesting.
That’s what a hoarder does.
I'm watching this one after more recent adventures and it's nice how it changed from 'the trees' guy' to a good friend.
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.
E mail this to him. He can't read every comment.
New viewer. I was very impressed by the sensitivity you showed toward the former occupant and her family. It must have been difficult not expressing some feelings as you went through that incredibly sad mess.
I totally agree with Ms Higgins. Your sensitivity is commendable.
@Max Payne hoarding is a fairly common symptom of mental illness specifically anxiety. You could learn some compassion and tact. But also i have hoarding tendencies so im sure you mean no harm and im just sensitive to the topic
In private perhaps he did do some emphatic expressing. HA!
This is Fascinating. I'm so pleased you thought to film this entire process. I have so many feelings for this artist, I think this jumbled treasure trove is so evocative and so telling of them, and I really love seeing someone who enjoys "stuff" sifting through it with so much interest and care. Really, really great content. I can't believe my good fortune to stumble upon it!
I never imagined I could be so entertained watching someone clean out a house. WOW, I can't believe the family didn't even want the photos. I used to have one of those microscopes, they were great fun. Good work, Blessings.
Oh my goodness I was glued to this third installment hoping it would never end. This is better than any television show on prime time television or cable. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in the old house with us all here. Very much appreciated and makes for the greatest entertainment. Cannot wait for part 4!!!!! I am from the US but visited Canada when my boys were very small, as they are in their 30's now and have kids of their own. Very beautiful country. Ate lobster on PEI several times during that visit and woke up to horses running in the fields. Stay safe, stay warm and God bless you and yours.
We admire,Your methodical patience,you were meant to be in this profession.
Love this series! I love it when you find something and you take the time to show it to the camera, explain it, date it, value it , etc.
This journey is super interesting I just can't stop binge watching !!!
Re : the finding of the 78 rpm records , that’s where we got the modern term “Album” for when someone puts out a new LP or CD recording ....because they were originally issued in book type albums
Amazing I love the folk art carved figures and the bever log ! What a task you have had in clearing this house I admire your dedication and want to say that you are an inspiration! The house itself can breathe again and im so sure that when you guys have finished with it that it will make a lovely home for someone. By the way I also love the way that you have shown so much respect to the origional owner who im sure must have been a very interesting lady indeed 😀🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ditto !!
Binge watching the episodes. It's very addictive. The variety of stuff in that house was really surprising.
I do not know how I found this series of videos but I am glued. It's like going on a treasure hunt without leaving my sofa. Thank you.
I know it's a hoard but since he purchased it and owns everything and not counting the junk that has to be cleaned out, opening all of these boxes reminds me of opening Presents! Even basic but interesting things are a nice find...
I agree! I would be so excited to go through that house as open all the boxes and see what cool stuff is there
Absolutely!
Totally and entirely like Christmas morning and then some🤗🥳😍🤩
Ok. That beautiful tan, leather bag with flower carvings at the end of video is worth more than $700 USD. I would know because I am a leather worker and that is all made by hand. That is a really good find. Good job.
April 2023 here. I was mesmerized. A story with all the components of a novel; intrigue, tragedies, humour & revival. (so disappointed in mankind when a tenant treats property like they had-shameful) Being a Canadian channel & I lived in Alberta for awhile.. I ♥ it ! Sure beats my usual viewing of home reno jobs- your's is normal - no designer crap. Very unique. Loved your team members too.
After several weeks of digging, he opens a box at the bottom of a pile and finds a newspaper with yesterday's date on it
Dud-dun duuunnn!
What ? Timestamp pls.
@@dgh25 It's a joke.
r/writingprompts
sounds like an M. Night Shyamalan movie pitch.
My husband's previous house had what he called "the dirt room" It was a crawl space hidden under the house. I was shocked at how much stuff was in there! It seemed that no matter what item I needed he would pull it out of the room! I started referring to the basement as the magic basement. Kind of like Mary Poppins bag. Yes, he is still a "collector "
Look at Hans, hauling out that sofa all by himself. What a man.
Oooooh you better get margaret and hans together because someone may have a lil crush. ;-)
IKR? I'd say he's a pretty good Dane. I could call him great, but I'm from MN and we don't go in for such superlatives. But, ya know I can say, fer sure that he's perty good!
You know you have a problem when you find yourself going "Well, that empty heart-box is kinda pretty. I'd have kept that, too..."
I found one when cleaning out the upstairs of an old house I bought. I kept it and used it as a door decoration around Valentines Day.
I hear ya!! :-) I saw that Valentines box too and I thought.....I could maybe put someone’s gift in there :-)
I have to say
All of this lady's work is AMAZING even if it's just a glimpse 😲
Really? How? Just looks like plain pots.
@@newtoublue1451 Well coming from a person who makes clay pots, and collects pots I can see the beauty in them 😄. But seeing art is all about what you think about it. If you see "just pots" then you see just pots XD
@@newtoublue1451 she learned to use all primitive methods and materials. They are beautiful and most are so perfectly shaped. They are gorgeous 😍
She has passed on. Alex hoped he would be able to interview her. That would have been interesting. All so sad.
the shortest 48 minutes in my life thank you sir for make a good videos
Maybe he will one day realize the gift he has given the rest of us!
I love that you are finding her original sketches.
My dad used to work at Gillette in Scarborough Ontario and he had a razor like that. Thanks for the memories.
You deserve your own television series. Love your channel.
Great series ! nice to see the respect you are giving the old lady and her family, :)
Oh Alex! I have enjoyed watching these Hoarder House videos so much! I almost broke my finger hitting the play button when I logged on and saw your notification for #3! Can hardly wait for the next installment and thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us!
Good thing you went through all of the books and yes the magazines and newspapers as well. I had a friend who's granny hid 20K through out a bunch of books, magazines and even old news papers! It was insane... lolol..
She had soooo much cool stuff. It’s actually amazing how many beautiful items were buried under there! Perfect house for your shop!
Never clicked so fast ! ❤️ this series!
Kim Kirchmann SAME!!
Completely agree. And I love the longer videos too :)
Same here!!!
If I were you , before flipping the house I would run a metal detector over the entire property. Never know what might be hiding underground, either by accident or on purpose. Just a thought.
That's an awesome idea.
Yeah you never know what people bury I know I got stuff buried in 5 gallon soap buckets they can be buried for over 30 years and the plastic won't brake down.
Lol ll
Actually, his kids would have a fun time doing that !!
Also run a metal detector over the walls. People used to hide stuff in their walls too.
"They leave a dear John letter...but we're in the country so it's a John deer letter " xD Jeff Foxworthy would love that
I think that old stereo works. It just needs an antenna!!!
It's still worth money - folks collect and repair those now
I thought that stereo was cool looking!
exactly. stuff back then did not have built in antennas so it probably got disconnected. collectors love vintage electronics. even if it did not work restorers will buy them, fix them up and sell them. do not throw them away!
We absolutely adore you you are so kind caring person. You’re videos are awesome could watch you all day long thank you so much 😊🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thank you June :)
Old wrapping paper is prized by Hollywood...they use it for authentic period movies. Think of flashback sequences of childhood Christmases.
That's wild...I was just thinking that a prop supply company would be a buyer of some of that dated stuff.
Can you really get much for it? I'd think that it would be easy to reproduce.
@@dffndjdjd depends on the scale of the productions, but some prop companies actually will purchase old wrapping paper instead of ordering reproductions. Mostly because it does end up being cheaper to do so.
@@dffndjdjd
@@VolatileSupernova Andrew is right tho, get ya head out ya ass
That old stereo might still be sellable as some people like vintage/ mono tech and will probably want to fix it, most likely some vacuum tubes & capacitors
never just toss vintage electronics like that. contact someone who restores them as they will fix them up and sell them to collectors.
I may have "oooo'd" when I saw the uncut fabric. XD With a washing, it might be usable.
Amazing just how much stuff people get and it looks like she kept a great deal of it. This looks like mining. You have to go through a lot of rock to find the diamonds.
Watching you clear out this house makes me want to declutter mine!
Where I live we're having way-cold air from a polar vortex and I've been indoors cleaning and clearing things out and I'll be doing some shredding too. I think we're examples of great minds running in the same direction!
Me too. Unfortunately I need some help.
I wish I could be there to help out. I love going through things and sorting them for where they will go next and opening up space that had previously been filled. I hope you'll be able to find and work someone else who enjoys that kind of project.
@@andrewbrendan1579 that clutter may be insulating you from the cold cold air 😅
You know, kodiak, I've actually thought about how all the books that I have in boxes could really be good insulation! Thankfully where I live the temperature is to be up in the 50's F. Whew!
I love how she boxed things. Milk cartons😀💜
Typical of the Depression generation. They reused everything. My grandmother used to cut the elastic out of Grandpa's underwear to reuse as giant rubber bands for holding boxes closed.
I loved the milk carton packaging also.
Sharon Fauber Which will turn out to be collectible haha.
That amused me. For some reason I love old food packaging. I enjoy the designs and typography on them.
Seeing this series for the second time it's neat to see how Hans came into the gang. Hans is such a great personality. 😊
I like that you are working with your mother and father in law. So many in laws don't get along so I think that this is really great!
I'm busy making these videos weekly, uploaded usually the day after filming so you are all up to date!
Curiosity Incorporated....curious at 11:32 of the video looks like the sliding glass door is open some, really hoping that’s just a picture of a creepy lady looking like she’s watching you go through that room 😱😳
Totally appreciate it 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I burst out laughing at the enthusiasm makes the difference book/face.
Curiosity Incorporated , thank you I like your videos. Just the the yellow/orange room made me a little nauseous . I like the 70’s pants that you hold up in the baby blue room. Really nice pants.
Holy smokes! Those plaid pants at 27.56 made me wince, lol.
Hats off to Hans and your Mother-in-law for helping you with this challenging job!
I like this series so much.♥️. On the program Hoarders, they throw away just about everything for sanitary purposes so they say. It makes me sad to see so much potentially valuable stuff thrown away. That's why this series is so satisfying.
legends say that deep under the sea of memorabilia lies the fabled wooden surface known as "the floor"
I love the way you obtain things, like your cars and old house, and get moving on them right away to restore them. I have seen so many people getting things to restore that just let them sit and get ruined to where they can no longer be restored. Good job helpers.
Absolutely loving this journey your are taking us on so Thankyou and so want to know the name of the lady who lived there and her interesting life . Maybe you will tell us in time to come . Thank goodness it was You who went in the first place and then had the foresight to buy the house as you have treated her items with respect where you can . What a treasure trove it is . Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Can't wait for the next instalment
34:00 That's a microscope from the same company that made those crazy actual nuclear power plant toys!
Oh Sweetheart, from one allergy sufferer to another, I couldn't do what you're doing. In fact, my nose is running and my asthma is kicking in. What a trooper you are!
"Hans" is the best treasure in the entire house.
All Danes are pure treasures 😜😂😉🇩🇰
I love Hans the tree guy
Hans rocks, great accent
I had so much fun going through the house and all the treasures with you. Your mother-in-law and Hans were such a huge help...Could I borrow them for a day? Starting to see the beauty of the house and looking foward to more! Thanks for taking us along.
I'm loving these videos. They remind me of my beloved uncle Ralph. He waded into any adventure with gusto like an archeologist.
One of the most Canadian channels I’ve found and I love it! Wonderful to hear the accents lol
U have an exceedingly pretty name.
Funny to hear someone excited over a Canadian accent for once lol. Imo, we have the most boring accent, best described as "a nice/stress free American" 😂
Murphy Boyse I’m Canadian myself and personally I love hearing people whose accents are especially strong!
What a great mother in law :)
Yes, I agree she is a gem!
You know national geographic, old books, ledgers, letters, magizines other papers cards, fabric, tickets etc are gold to journalers. Good luck
U mean scrap bookers?
ye some of them are worth a lump sum of cash, depending on the cover
Just the maps alone would be worth a tidy sum. People love to use them in Junk Journals, along with scrapbookers.
I especially love vintage magazines to cut images and figures out and jumble them together into a collage.
Rewatching this because I’m mad in love with the musicians house and can’t stand skipping a day!
me too!
Me too
I love seeing Canada 🇨🇦 lots of love from Dublin 🇮🇪
Just discovered your site and this WONDERFUL hoarder house. You are amazing and am so glad YOU are unearthing her work, sorting with respect and inviting us for the ride.
After watching parts 1, 2 and 3 I have now sub....well made, not too fast with the camera, respectful and indeed a bit exciting! Good Family Man, Environmentally Cautious...Very Caring about Donation and Re-usable, Resale, Re-purposing etc., Your intentions are transparent and Good...See you Next Week!
Thanks Wayne!
same!
Ohhh but ALEX seems to see more DOLLAR signs these days … pity !
@@CuriosityIncorporated VERY Welcome!
The table or dresser you are sorting through the coins on with the old one dollar bill, looks like tiger oak which could be very valuable
Your Mother-in-law and Father-in-law are absolutely AWESOME!
My grandma's house was stacked waist high with news papers. She had paths going everywhere. Fortunately she found a picture of her home before it was full of papers and decided that she wanted it to look like that again. So my uncle and cousin went down to help her clean it up. They hauled out 2 box trucks full of just news papers to be recycled.
Good thing she realized that on her own
@@CuriosityIncorporated yes it was. It made it much easier on my aunt when she went to clean out and sell the house last spring. My grandma is still alive and doing well for 92, she just has dementia. Fortunately my mom is able to care for her so she doesn't have to go to a nursing home.
I hope you will film the renovations as well
You didn't recycle all the newspaper and magazines?
Edit: I just got to the part where you said the dump goes through and separates stuff. Kudos Canada!
you pulled out that old Canadian dollar bill and those coins and my heart leaped. I would love to find that. Well done.
You might want to rethink about keeping her journals, especially if it's about pottery! In time they could be worth something. (Silence Dogood letters). Take the news paper to the animal shelters!! They could really use them. Curious about that corner shelf @ 31:37. Reminds me of my foster parents. Call someone about the national geographic magazines! I know some companies buy back some of their older mags!
I'm so excited! This is such a great series, I feel like I'm living vicariously through you (but I don't have to do all the work)!
XD Agreed!
LMAO right
Right and seeing it slowly cleared. So satisfying.
Same here. He's doing what I sorta would love to do 😂
I don't know if I could handle that much clean up though 😳
Not long ago i came across your channel Alex, and literally just saved the whole playlist on these series. Great work
25:50.. when you showed the bedroom.. i was like... WOOOOWWW... that is an epic room. nice vintage house
Soooo much stuff! Wow! Your "hidden room" looks like an old cistern for holding water that someone punched a hole in to make it useable space... they were quite common in old homes... my parents house has a similar cistern that's has one side knocked in to make it accessable once the town water was hooked up.
Wow, interesting history. For rainwater?
I love these videos. Thanks for taking us on your adventure; especially because we can watch from the warm, clean comfort of our own homes!!!😃
Clearly a smart investment not only was the previous owner a well known Canadian Potter who commands good money for her work but you also now own her house, that has to be a great selling point on the Canadian real estate market. Good luck
3:28 Anyone else getting “mummy-era” Brendan Fraser vibes from him?
He is good looking!!!!
Yessss George of the Jungle was in my mind :)
The pin at 35:12 with the old coins is a vintage Girl Guides pin. It's a pixie pin from Brownies (younger generation). Girls would receive it upon enrollment.
That's not bad looking house . Windows looks good . You made a good buy!!!!
oh my gosh! the hardwoods in this house are sooo beautiful, and some of the old dressers!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a great place you got!
So glad UA-cam recommended your channel, loving the Canadian accents, your hair and all the exciting hoard finds 😃 Hi 👋 from Ireland 🇮🇪
It’s like Christmas not knowing what is in all the boxes lol. So exiting. Thank you for taking us all along with you. 👍👍👍👍👍
When you clean the ducts, it will probably overload the power vac truck. Furnace inspection is a great idea. Go Alex Go
I knew an older lady that hid her extra money in the heat ducts. Always a good place I suppose.😄
@@rakamas Wow stuff hidden in duct work I would have never thought of that. I sooooo want to SEE WHAT IN THE ATTIC !
How did I get sucked into this trilogy. I can’t stop watching you.
Trilogy?
I think this house would be a great project for "Rehab Addict". She restores homes to their original beauty.
I enjoy watching you dig and discover. Besides finding treasure, you're pretty cute.
Looked like some big metal? signs in that back add on where the little kiln was. They were against the wall behind some wood pieces. That little yellow envelope in the cold cream jar with the $1 note, looked like the envelopes that we would receive our wages in - back in the day when we actually got cash, every week!
I spotted those signs too! Surprised they were not mentioned in video as well.
Very interesting series. Its like the show hoarders but without all the b-s-ing and crying...hello from Arizona.
The stuff in this house NEVER ends.....good documentary.
How that house trim around the doors and windows was done reminds me COMPLETELY of the house I remodeled a few years ago. That house is probably from the 1910's to the 20's based on the style.
