I had a friend who used to run a trailer park. There was some people who left and didn't clean out their storage shed. It was full of patterns and fabric. She had a yard sale and women were showing up from the state over to get some of those patterns.
Any person that sews would be interested in all that sewing stuff. Maybe Facebook it!!
Or put the patterns up in the store where you sell merch. I would definitely buy some.....and the guitar
Same with the material it was hanging there on a cloth rack !!!
Lots of money in patterns even if you sell a buck a piece
I wish I had all the patterns my Mother used to make clothes for us three girls. I do have several of the dresses she made me.
A friend of mine who has given up sewing just donated her hundreds of patterns, stash of fabrics, and all of her sewing notions to a local Ukraine refugee support group. They were so thankful for it all including her extensive crafting supplies!
Daniel great finds. I enjoy watching you go through it. My dad passed away February 12th. I lived with him for 5 years. Went through his closet found a box of arrows, a camera from 1902 , and 2 other cameras. We have a 3 car garage to go through next. He has every kind of tool anyone could want. Looking forward to go through and remember him working out there. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Love you guys
I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can’t believe you picked up a Jim Croce album and didn’t say a word about it. Probably one of the greatest singer songwriter of all time, definitely the best of my generation.
Oh, my! She did leave a couple of great treasures you guys can use! The implements for the skid steer sure make quick work of the trees and moving big piles of "trash." Well, now you know what a turkey vulture nest and eggs look like. I'll wonder if they'll move the eggs? I'm so glad the new feather babies are still doing good! Thank you so much for taking us along!
They are not capable of moving the eggs but they may abandon the nest if they are disturbed enough.
@@andy6043 Kevin over at Hidden Heights Farm had buzzards in their rock house on their lake property. They finally were able to put in new windows, a new roof, and closed in with boards the two small areas near the roof and walls junction at the peak so no more buzzards inside, but they watched from the trees and strongly often complained that their secluded, protected nursery was no longer available for their potential next generation. I know Daniel is wanting to save the barn but he may need to wait til the baby birds hatch, get their feathers, and grow big enough to fly away. Then he'll need to clean out, power wash, and close it up so they can't get back in.
I squealed when I saw that sewing pattern cabinet and all its contents. That is gold to any fiber artists or seamstresses. Definitely do not throw that out! It’s worth lots of money…
Some really cool treasures found ! That grill will be great at the cabin . The tree removal is making it look so good ! It’s going to be so nice ! Can’t wait for more ! The hatchlings look so cute , hope the rest come on out !
There is a lot in that house that can be donated. Thank you for taking us along. God bless.
Really nice of the old owner to leave you all the new/ like new stuff. You definitely found some good items. Sorry to hear about y'all losing one of the baby turkey's.
that electric skillet is truly a find. find a collector of vinyls (records). There are some here in East Tennessee. Hopefully there's some near where you live. Vinyls are a big hit right now. A cabinet maker might be interested in the wall units. I wouldn't give up on some of it. Those jars of jellies should still be good. The best way to find out is to pop the lids.
It's a shame the fire department can not use the house in a control burn because it's too close to the road. It was nice of you to give the original owners the guitar.
That crunching sound during the tree removal was oddly satisfying.
Daniel, I wanted to make a comment about that old lunch box that you found. My grandfather, Rev. Norman Guy Frame lived in a sawmill town called Swandale, West Virginia from 1926-1966 he went there with his wife my grandmother and raised 8 children. He operated the furnace of the creosote vats where the mill cut, then soaked the railroad ties in creosote which is a thin oil, similar to tar. They treated them and it repelled insects.
He carried a lunch box just like the one you found in that abandoned property. Before my grandmother passed away, she gave it to my mom. And when my mom passed away my father gave it to me. I have it setting in my dining room inside my China hutch. Mom told me when his meal was packed,. It would be pinto beans in the bottom the tray that you could remove held cornbread or biscuits and sliced meat like cured ham or fried chicken. The cup on top was for coffee and water. The foreman had coffee brought to the site for the workers and water breaks were permitted, and varied with the season.
My eyes lit up when I saw that old lunch pail. It brought back so many memories. God bless you Daniel. 🙏😇
Your feathered friend babies are adorable! You've found some real treasures on your new property.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. I have a electric skillet. May the Lord bless you and protect you and your family and the animals
So sorry for all of you...I will miss her too...praying for all of you!!! She had a good life, a life that many dogs can only dream of?!💔🙏
Those patterns and sewing books are worth waaay more than you'd suspect...might want to put them and photos on marketplace..people travel to get their hands on old patterns
I picked up an electronic truck at a garage sale that played Cotton Eyed Joe when you pressed one button, honked like an 18 wheeler on another and vroom, vroomed with another. The grandkids loved it.
Some really nice finds there, Daniel! How fun! God bless 💜❤💜
I have one of those green crock pots when I got married in 1967. They are great for keeping beans warm at a get together!
I love the way your machine pulls those trees right out by the roots. That's pretty cool!🤗
I can envision that barn restored. They are so beautiful !!!!!
When my grandma passed & it was really weird going threw her house but at the same time looking threw old pictures & reminiscing made it ok.
Daniel you were really considerate to call about the guitar, awesome video thanks! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯☺️
Thx for sharing your treasure hunting adventure. Lots of good stuff. Your finds are great. Congrats again on your place of adventure. Hope your dreams for it come to pass and are everything you hoped it would be. Blessings from OKC Grandmother.❤️
Put those books "sewing step by step" over with the other patterns. That is a pretty expensive set. Lots of neat stuff in there. Really glad I don't live closer, I could see some dumpster diving in my future if I did.
You really found some great stuff that will be useful to you! I think it’s so much fun to treasure hunt like that!
Great video. There is a lot of treasures in that house glad you didn't destroy them love that machine could watch that clean up your property all day can't wait for the next video😊
I'm excited about the turkey vulture's nest! Yeah, they're ugly and even stink but they are invaluable to the Circle of Life. If you really take the time and make an effort to study them you'll find just how remarkable they are. I hope you keep us updated on them and showcase the babies when they hatch. Don't let the dogs follow you in the barn though. I don't know if the adults are protective of their babies or not but don't want to find out at the expense of one of your dogs. I do know they have very sharp and powerful beaks and talons.
Also, thank you for letting us know that the guitar was picked up. Usually student models aren't worth much but they can certainly hold beautiful memories.
I'm glad to know your brother is salvaging building materials and hardware before the house is torn down.
My bedroom door and hardware was salvaged from an old house I inherited. It was my neighbor's house, the eyesore of the neighborhood. He was my best friend for 13 years before he died. An old sailor, I learned a lot from him. I could go on and on to describe what a wonderful person he was. Yes, he lived in squalor but it was because he retired early to care for his mother. She was 99 at the time of her death. He was 76 at his. I buried him at Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio Texas. The DFW National Cemetery was still in the planning stages.
Phew! My "comment" has turned out to be a novel!
Hi Daniel. Wow, that grapple hook on your machine really is priceless. I know that farm equipment can be expensive, but it does so many jobs in such a short time. Plus you can do this yourself saves money! Very cool 😮
I wish I lived close enough to you to come get the sewing stuff. A few years ago there was a house for sale that had an entire bedroom full of sewing stuff. Several huge boxes full of fabric, another full of notions. The box of notions had several thousand dollars worth of zippers, buttons, thread and anything else you need. It was big enough that two adults could have comfortably sat down in it so it was HUGE. There was another room full of yarns for crochet and knitting. Then there was a 1 bedroom apartment in the back yard and it was full of even more sewing stuff. We tried to buy the house and got to within 1 hour of signing the mortgage for it and then someone at the bank suddenly noticed that there was an easement for the neighbor to be able to use the driveway. I thought it was a rather silly reason to deny a loan on it. I cried for weeks. I loved the house and all of the sewing and yarn stuffs just put me over the moon.
My cousin's husband made bows. When they visited us back in the early 90's they took some burdock apples back to Iowa and planted them in their yard. A couple of the trees flourished and supplied Rick with many fine bows. I had an electric skillet when I was younger, loved it so much I bought a new one last year. Glad you returned that guitar to the previous owner. She probably forgot it was there. You got a lot of good stuff for the cabin. Geese and turkey chicks doing well. That vulture nest is super cool, but don't let Houston try to hatch those eggs out! Let the mama vulture have the fun of raising chicks. Just keep us updated. I haven't seen any vultures up here in northern Oklahoma. Hawks yes. Hope Bella is doing well.
I love that old barn, small and simple
Keep that Jim Croce album. That is priceless! Great memories! I have that one, too! 😃 That guitar is beautiful! Great treasures!
My son and I are big Ford guys, love that grill. Can't have too much hunting gear. God Bless y'all. John V. Michigan
Brian, we are not That stupid up here in the north!! We know what electric skill it is !! And yes I was grew up on fried chicken in the electric skillet !! Are we still have one ! Electric roaster and a crock pot !! And the griddle grill is fantastic Got one of those too!!
Looks like a sewing machine case sitting on the floor. That room would be a huge score for sewists and quilters.
I'm glad that you are recycling and saving some of this the woodwork and the shelves and things that you were talkin about and still just throwing them away they are these woodcrafters that buys old Barns and houses and reuses the lumber out of them
I'm in California and yes an electric skillet is very handy to have as well as the crock pot. Great finds 😮😊❤
Gotta love the grill, heaters and lanterns! Great finds ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
wow those cutters are a real beast , just pulls trees out of the ground with ease
Oh boy I lost my mind 🤣 I love vinyl records and George Jones and other albums you showed us are the ones I love. Take those home and enjoy them Daniel I bought a Victrola record player on Amazon and that became my new favorite thing to do is shop for vinyls. You have a bunch of great albums and that electronic fryer is another Gem you found Clean it up and fry up some chicken.
Ok that was a awesome video. I love watching stuff being demolished. You have to video every time you go there and work. That would be cool. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for more. Much love from NC.
You definitely got some great finds in that old house ….. although it’s an incredible amount of work ; finding things like those brand new heaters and that grill make it worth it !
U can save a lot of that wood in that barn. Even if u don’t want them u can put them in bundles and sale them because a lot of us loves the old wood for farmhouse DIYS. We love making things with that kind of wood. Or u can keep it and make or build something that u would like.
You are surely right Daniel about the electric skillet making the BEST fried chicken ever!!❤❤ my father used to fix it on Sundays for us!! I really miss “daddy fried chicken””💕💖😢
Evening Daniel. Some goodies found by all who wanted. Looks like you’ve made good headway and not much longer till you pull it all down. Have a great weekend take care and god Bless. 💕🙏
I'm glad you found the vultures nest I hope you intend on leaving them Then you can show us how they grow up that would be an interesting lesson You have some serious looking attachments for the skid steer Alot easier on the back when you have equipment to do it for you 🇨🇦🦩
Really good finds ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for sharing have a wonderful evening ❤️ ♥️ 😊
I always enjoy your videos Daniel. You make me smile many times and are such a caring person...a good man.
That skillet my mom had one all while I was growing up here in California I’m 62 now and I just sold it in a yard sale 2 years ago.
Facebook marketplace for a lot of that stuff, especially the cabinetry, the shelving(its wood), the sewing patterns,any fabric and machines and notions,the kitchen ware, the guitar looks to be early 1960s(cardboard case gives it away) and it probably is worth about 200 bucks or so. It seems in excellent condition.
Those electric fryers also make delicious roasts. I've cooked many London broils to perfection.
U probably rearrange some Snakes Den in all that tin too. 😊WOW that plows Disc r Old 😊
You definitely have some treasures. Good for you ❤
My brother learned to play on a Kay Student guitar back in the late 60s, early 70s. He plays in a little local country band now.
Yes!! My mother still has her old elec skillet and STILL makes the BEST fried chicken in it. GOAL!!!!!
You better go through everything. I love auctions and flea markets. Such a wonderful adventure. You have found some things that are long forgotten but bring back memories for others. Yes, sell what you don't need/want. Some ppl are looking for old appliances and gadgets. I'd be in heaven rummaging around in there....lol Have a great time and don't forget some ppl like old wood for things too.
Great finds in the Merchstead house.
I just bought 6 of those lanterns from a fellow for $10 each. My plan is to use them when camping with citronella oil for insect repellant and then anytime the power goes out for light.
My husband refurbishes rifles. He does repair on the stock and repairs the barrels. He does the checkering on the stock. Holler, if you want to see some of his work. He does work for many gun shops in our town, then some gun collectors.
Oh my gosh, I'd Love that crock pot! I had one just like it about 45 years ago. Mine was harvest gold. Lol
God bless your sweet family.
I would love to have some of those Daffodils. Just seeing all that country home life wish I still lived in it like I did when I was young. Ya take care!
Those disc make the best woks! We sold many of them when we came across them!
wow! you could just rip out those trees by the roots! saved a LOT of work!
Those old Simplicity patterns should be worth some money😊❤❤
Daniel, that was a fun video. You might contact Habitat for Humanity and see if they can use any of the cabinets, doors, windows. Things others have not claimed. That lattice in the barn would be great if still in good shape. It would be crazy fun looking at the tin containers on top of the cabinets. That and any glass containers. I'm sure ya'll will find good homes for the usable treasures. Watching you pull the trees up by the roots was something else. I kept thinking you were going to mulch up the trees and bushes in the piles. Weston sure has been busy hauling scrap metal and cleaning up. I'm excited to watch the progress. Thanks for another great adventure.
Osage orange or Bois' d arc trees are what native americans made bow's out of. Also they are useful for fence posts and wood foundation posts under houses cause they don't rot.
.
Daniel. You should contact the local fire department and ask if they want a house to burn to practice on. We've done that up here with old farmers houses not needed anymore.
We have one of those Grill-to-Go grills. The legs broke in no time but it's great for using on the tailgate.
fun to go with you.
Can't wait to see the final pictures.
WOW 😮. IVE GOT A Box FULL of OLD 33s. I use to use some of those same SIMPLYsewing patterns.
Canning jars are a good find and will sell. Contents that's fodder for the compost or the garden.
Daniel put those tins on Facebook marketplace too! You will sell them fast! I was trying to see what others there were but tins sell fast. 😊
Oh yes the Jim Croce with the pictures as well, I would think you could do well with it, those country records yes. Nice. Oh my goodness those patterns would be great since a lot of those styles are back in style plus would be good for costumns for theatre's
Now that looks fun... taking out those trees!!! 😅
Why don't you install the propane fireplace at the Mill creek property? It would keep the cabin warm.
Daniel we had a blue lantern exactly like that one when I was a kid (I'm 67) up we used it when we went camping it was kerosene! Indiana here😄💕
Wish I was there. Yes, love electric skillets. In the early 2000's I went into Target trying to find one. A young sales girl had no idea what I was talking about. Seriously? I thought those would stay around forever.
I am from NJ and I have that skillet and love it
Great video Daniel,those patterns will come in good use at a fabric store, they might buy them
We have them up North. Actually cast iron skillets make the best fried chicken. Thought you would know that. I'm from the South.😊
Oh my yes.!. Electric skillet fried chicken yes, yes yes.
And those Coleman old heaters and that grill. You have found some very cool things. Not only cool, but they’re very functionable. .. is that a word? Lol you know what I mean
Also the electric skillet makes the best rabbit.and I’m a northern guy also that makes fantastic smothered pork chops
I'm glad you're keeping the barn up. Plz let the buzzards hatch their eggs. They are very important to keeping the environment clean. Also is that brown thing an old lunch pail that the old timers used to carry to work?? That's crazy.
I’m from the north and I have one very similar to that fryer.
Those canning jars I would like! Some of the canning jars can bring some money but I can food myself. LOL
I am glad to see Houston eggs hatch can't wait to see what you guys have at your new place once you get it done
We are moving back to Texas
I wore my new AFH shirt today to work! Do Your Best is tomorrow! You got some great finds!
hugs from pam and john keep itcoming on video
So sad to see those plum trees go.
You are right on that skillet
The patterns are a treasure. Be patient with the process of sifting through the hOuse.
Thanks for video L look forward see all videos
I bought that exact green crockpot in 1976.
Hey now, we 'northerners' know darn good and well how to use the electric skillets! Don't forget, many of us older folks started our adult lives with small electric appliances. We didn't go running back to mom and dad's house- we were on our own and happy about it! Please, remember that your audience is also from the North. (BTW, I was conceived in OK)
Unfortunately cooking and sewing by hand from scratch is becoming a lost art. Honestly the only way I think American society will survive is if we put greed in its place and teach each other how to be as self sufficient as possible. Learn, to grow, sew, cook, clean. Then we we'll have the government gripped by it's ears saying see here We've had enough of this mess.
Those patterns are worth a good bit of money
What is really amazing is that the good Lord gave both you, Daniel, and Sean (Dutch) abandoned property, at about the same time, so that y'all can have something different for your video content.
I love the electric skillet! I had one I learned to cook almost everything in back in the day when I first moved out of my family home. Going through that house would be fun. Set up a big yard sale some weekend. Make it a $1 sale and you will clean up
With all those trees you've downed, rent a tree chipper, beats hauling off or burning.
