@@samholmessailing seems like something that you should tell your real estate agent. I'm sure you own all of that stuff as part of the purchase agreement.
@@samholmessailing Had the same thing happen to me when I bought a property full of junk and had to clean up and sort out. They would come back and grab the usable stuff I saved. Have to put a stop to it or they may keep coming back.
LOL I always thought if I had a small living space attached to a garage, it would be the perfect house. Having lived in 5000+ square foot homes, I found I lived in just a couple of rooms and spent most of my time in the 3 car garage. Now if I could just find a home that had a smaller living space and a good size garage. You have found it. Good going! A dream home for a man!
Maybe you could build one? If that is your dream you should go for it. Home is the most important place for our mental well-being. Whether it's on a tiny boat on the ocean or a nice big garage with a tiny house, home should be everything you need/want.
@@Mandy7D7 I agree. I have a good setup at this point. I have a large 2 car garage with a shop setup inside. Still don't need much room inside the house. So I have a bedroom turned into a large library and use another bedroom as a work area with sewing machine and work space for working on electronics and other small projects. And as I can work at my job remotely as long as I have Internet, I try to spend time on the boat.
I watch a lot of sailing related channels and this is the first time I have ever been jealous of anybody. Just you, a boat and a place to work on doing what you love. All the best!
@@pornstarlivesmatter3319 judging by your name i could only guess as to how you wore them out in the first place lol. i dont think Sam realizes it much but i imagine he is inspiration for a lot of us with health issues who think we are too beat up or sick to get out and live life.
Someone told me once that jealousy is a good thing in a sense like this because you are a peer of Sam and if you're jealous of him it means you have it in you to do the same as he is doing. Don't give up! Maybe we will be watching your videos in the near future!
It's so good to see you buy a property! 20k was an absolute steal! So happy for you. I'll keep up my patreon contributions to you. I'm super looking forward to your videos on fixing up the boat and the property. Those are my favorite
My old man's shop had those in ground cylinder car lifts, brings back memories. I couldn't imagine what would be needed to get them back working, I bet they're from the early 70's.
Oh My God! You have the deal! There is $20 Grrr in the junk, it's as if they gave you the property. Enjoy sorting it out and get rid of it slowly. Life is full of surprises, you never can tell when you will need all that stuff!
Sam you totally SCORED !!! Have a yard sale for the stuff that’s useless to you and you’ll likely cover the first 2 mortgage payments. And you’re so handy that place will be tiptop in no time. And that sewing machine is INDUSTRIAL grade bro. Your soooo lucky ... AND that tractor is worth $500-750 all day long to a collector
Sam..This workshop/home could be a diamond in the rough for you. You have the skill to make something really nice here. Congratulations! I love the old tractor...clean it up and put it inside your apt as a conversation/display piece.
So I am down in Fl visiting my mom and she tells me about this guy she watches on UA-cam that sails all over the place. That would be you. And my nephew in Virginia has told me about a guy that he has seen on UA-cam that sails and he recognizes one of the boat docks, which was not in Oriental. So I’m curious…I get on UA-cam, plug in your name- go to your workshop segment, bingo. Know exactly where the workshop is!! Small, small world!!
Better than a "barn find," you found the barn! Turn it into an Alberg rescue yard, for some folks to buy and take over from you to run a small business to help support your travels when leave!
Ah Oriental... I will never forget that bridge and a rented sailboat. Turned out the boat had been converted to a tall rig and the manual that stated the mast height (air draft) was never updated... till after my charter. A crappy ending to a nice day on the water. Good luck with your surgery and keep the great videos coming!
Sam it’s Perfect, what more could you wish for, a studio pad that’s not gonna rock you to sleep at night, a big workshop for all your projects, a place for Pickle, take care,👍😃
That property was an awesome find and for that price it was a steal. You can even rent it out to people needing to work on their own boats. You need to have a garage sale.
That former gas station could be a sailboat repair facility in much of the same way Atomvoyages.com has built two carport style roofs in the backyard to keep boats out of the sun and rain while being worked on. Sam is the only person I have seen that undertakes difficult repairs while sailing solo offshore, so Sam's boat repair skills are already very good. Charge $50 per hour for labor on a 2,000 hour year that is $100K. Do that for 2-3 years then sail off into the sunset for another world cruise.
Issues, issues issues, but for me the place is pretty much perfect. Dude you crack me up. I discovered you on your Hawaii crossing, my dream trip, then saw part of your Scotland run. You motivated me to get moving and push myself and my boat for my Hawaii trip. Thanks for your positive mental attitude. Now Im fixing stuff on my boat for my run.
What a find! I can’t believe you got an acre of land and that garage for $20k. That’s fabulous! To be able to live on site while you work on your boat is the best scenario. A motherload of toilets and an antique tractor and cash register. The Gods have smiled on you. I can’t wait to see what you do with the studio apartment room. Congratulations!
Hi Sam I have been following your channel for a while..I was so pleased to see you bought that workshop..I have done exactly the same here in Australia only your place is a bit more flasher than mine..I bought a shed on a large block ...It has sewerage power and water connected..It is such a easy lifestyle..I use a blower to clean..no dusting..I shower using a 9kilo gas bottle for hot water I think you call them propane it is hooked up to a cheap gas hot water unit..I cook with a saucepan and steamer with a gas BBQ thing...I have all LCD lights but only one.. mostly use a torch...I do have a nice TV and lounge etc ... I planted a heap of Australian native trees 4 years ago out the front of the block and now you cannot see the shed from the road.. I live in a small town in Queensland..not far from the ocean and my boat ... she is a Alan Payne design oldie but goodie . This lifestyle we live is just the best so easy and so cheap...If you ever get to ozz we should try and catch up...regards Pete
I legit just started watching your videos today. It was random on my timeline and I’m glad I clicked on it. You have an amazing personality and watching your video makes me want to sail now lol. Congrats on the property. You can probably sell some of that stuff to antique shops
Lots of good stuff in there to sell. The wiper display should bring some really good money along with those spark plugs. The tractor can go for minimum scrap value but might hold some value. Even the wood secretary chair should be a good sale. The safe, if there is a combo. The old cash register and more! Good luck with the renovations.
Find yourself a local scrap metal dealer you can get rid of lots of the scrap metal and tractor and make a few bucks in the process. Looks like a work in progress, cleaning it out will make a big difference!
If you have a sailboat and a workshop and a garden and a girlfriend you don't need much else. I think the gas station project is as cool as the boat. I hope you don't get stuck for any underground gas tank environmental crap they sometimes charge gas station owners. If you chain enough of those toilets together they can make a mooring anchor for you,LOL Thumbs up sam and best of luck.
This is an amazing place to find at a great price, especially with so many contents, tools, and antiques... Hope you are able to look into the tractor and cash register before tossing away. Great NC space to call home and return from sails 🙌
Totally agree, old tractors are built like tanks and even if they look in bad condition they can often be saved, definitely worth doing a bit of research on it
From humble beginning comes the beauty of the future. You have made a good bargain considering surgery, boat maintenance, shop work, and god knows what else. Just keep thinking good thoughts. Spring is on its way.
To me, the repair is almost as good an adventure as sailing. I would put that tractor on Craig's List. A collector may want it and every little bit helps! Keep up with the videos and I will keep the ads rolling by watching them!
See Mr. Soots below, then hire a dumpster and toss out the junk. A little paint and organization and you're set for a place to live while you film, edit and live.
Nice score on the old garage. You've got your work cut out for you cleaning it out and fixing it up. Might want to check into the possibility it is a hazardous waste site. Most old gas stations have gasoline plumes underground that limit what can be done there. But the place does have some potential. You're young and full of energy and are at the right point in your life to take on a project like that and the boat project and be footloose and fancy free to travel the world. For those of us who have gone down those paths in different ways in different eras, it's fun to watch your version of it.
Vintage garage/car parts are collected by people and that tractor you should advertise on a sales website because many people want those old tractors. Keep the stick welder it is always great to have when you need one and that one is simple and rather easy to use. I agree with the other people here a garage sale would put a few dollar’s in your pocket. Just look up some prices on those cabinets that are related to car parts they just might surprise you what people are paying for that stuff.
Sam you're absolutely amazing! We can feel your excitement it is tangible! As you walk through the shop and look at those items and describe you just provide the best content it's awesome thank you for sharing Sam :-)
Can’t wait to see the boat renovation. What a score that shop was...20k? Funny because I have been searching online properties, rarely do I see things so cheap. Congratulations on this. Just looking around this thing you bought, I think you have a gold mine in there.Could be stuff in there that you could sell on eBay for money. If you have time and see anything interesting, old rustic containers, interesting old tools, do a search and see if anything comes up. Guess you could always have a garage sale too.
I recognize that this might not not be the best medium for thrifting, but I saw a small trophy at the 6:25 mark in the video and I would love to buy it (and pay the shipping of course). I work at a small summer camp in GA; we're always doing little games/shows/challenges among the campers as moral boosters, and I kid you not have have been looking for something just like that for years now and have not found something that fits the part. To be able to give the convoluted backstory of how the trophy came into the camp's possession would make for a fun provinance that would be so enjoyable to explain to a group of kids. Again, I recognize the weirdness of this request, no harm if it's too much trouble!
Jeeze SAM! Looks like you found a gold mine!! Fix that place up, so you can live comfortably and work on the boat. And then lease it out when you go sailing to some one else who needs a livable place to work on their boat!!! BRILLIANT!!!
Sam , I'm new to your channel, and I was wondering if you got rid of your "bag" yet , I hope so . A year ago , I was looking at having to deal with that myself, but my extremely gifted cancer surgeon knew how bad I was fretting it, and went the extra mile when he sewed me back up to skillfully re-attach my intestine after removing the cancerous section. You and your overly positive attitude is a major inspiration to a lot of folks, I'm sure . Keep up your good (great) work .
That spark plug cabinet is seriously cool! Bet there is lots of old stuff in there that people consider collectible. If you have the room to keep it, research the stuff in better shape and you might be able to make quite a bit...or keep it for storage because they’re way cooler than modern plastic organizers.
Enjoy your stories Sam.. I also found a property at the same price and conditions but in arizona.. I have recovered close to half the price on selling all the treasures.. The big differents is im 400 mile from my boat that im ready to move this coming week to get her ready to sail the west coast to the canal and possible Brazil.. Thanks for the inspiration to this 66 year old newbie.. Be well, be safe.. Be happy Todd / Ailuk
Love your new shop, i did the same thing here with an old old shop here in Pilot Mountain NC, Love Oriental, been there several times as i had customers there in the shrimping business i use to call on, I have a Marine and Small engine shop here in Pilot if you need any thing or help finding anything, I am Looking at buying a boat soon, found a 41 center cockpit That i plan on moving to Oriental to work on before taking it south to Florida and Bahamas , I have health limitations and trying to not let them stop me from getting back on a boat now that my Kids on out on there own, Definetly want to stop and give you a hand if i head your way in the next couple weeks , at least say hey, Good on you for getting after IT!!! Wish i could move what i have here to oriental , That Area seems to be a great jumping off spot for cruisers, Good luck Sam
I'm jealous of your workshop. That's exactly what I'm looking for and where for future plans.. Except I'll need water access on one of the NC rivers or ICW to launch larger boats.
SCORE!!!! Great workshop. I keep hoping to find something like that near to me. Enjoy it mate. Witch's Cauldron would be a great name for a boat. And old tractors are collectible. EBay it on man
If you figure out the problem with your tiller pilot please post, my old Autohelm just started doing the same thing. I LOL'ed at some of the stuff you found there. Witches Cauldron=Priceless!
Brilliant idea picking up that workshop. You could do a video collaboration with one of the “American Pickers”’ type shows to unload the tractor and olde cash register and stuff!
Hellooo, dumpsters. Usually one of the first things you get whenever you buy a "lived in" property. Enjoy the landlubber stint, looks like you've found a good home port.
if this is an old gas station you may want to check the underground storage tanks that they are not rusted out and leaking ..this is a common problem with this type of venue...maybe the tanks were above ground type and have been removed...we hope....otherwise looks great and good luck
I had skipped this one and have now come back to get the back ground. You are so resourceful - it's a fabulous move on your part. Your optimism is awesome.
Put a table out front and put the old stuff on it with cheap price tags. They will pay you to haul it off. Bet that old tractor on Craigslist would fetch a nickel or two also.
Hello from Canada I'm in the hospital now. I found your video very informative and uplifting and very positive I'm sure that tractor is worth something to somebody so don't give nothing away put it on Kijiji or Craigslist you'll find you might have some real treasures
Having paid rental on storage for tools and stuff for far too many years I agree this is a much better option! There's so much you have to work with there. You can probably list that old antique tractor and get it sold fairly quickly.
That’s great. I hope that you saw Paul wells on transporting your boat. He is a Triton marine. Great people there. They moved my 37 foot boat for me and did a great job for a reasonable price. Good luck with the projects and surgery. We live just a few miles from Oriental.
Just imagine all the privateers and pirate ships you’d see out there a couple hundred years ago.NC coast had a huge pirate presence. Black beards stomping grounds
Dude... $20k for a structure with power and water. On an acre of land. That's the dream right there.
How did you find that deal? Ive been looking in my area for years
That would be 500k+ here in CA lol
that is a great deal !
I would check for cleanup liability as it was industrial though.
The world would be such a better place if everyone had such a great attitude towards life.
Yes
Maybe deep down he’s suicidal and hates life
@@luciferscatmilk ROFL
exactly !
and $20k just laying around to buy property....
This calls for a garage sale, let other people haul the junk away. Good luck on the new adventure. Keep that happy face.
Him pouring that mortar reminded me of Dude pouring the ashes in Big Lebowski.

Unfortunately the old owner's father came back and stole it along with the compressor and all the good tools I had sorted out of the junk 😕

Sweet little shop you got there in the heart of Pamlico county! Let's re-frame your eves sometime. Keep them varmints out !!
@5:20 Lincoln "tombstone" welder. Many of the guys my age learned to weld on these in high school shop. Pretty solid machines and usually repairable.
Find yourself a local scrap metal dealer you can get rid of lots of the scrap metal and tractor and make a few bucks in the process. Looks like a work in progress, cleaning it out will make a big difference!

Love your new shop, i did the same thing here with an old old shop here in Pilot Mountain NC, Love Oriental, been there several times as i had customers there in the shrimping business i use to call on, I have a Marine and Small engine shop here in Pilot if you need any thing or help finding anything, I am Looking at buying a boat soon, found a 41 center cockpit That i plan on moving to Oriental to work on before taking it south to Florida and Bahamas , I have health limitations and trying to not let them stop me from getting back on a boat now that my Kids on out on there own, Definetly want to stop and give you a hand if i head your way in the next couple weeks , at least say hey, Good on you for getting after IT!!! Wish i could move what i have here to oriental , That Area seems to be a great jumping off spot for cruisers, Good luck Sam
I'm jealous of your workshop. That's exactly what I'm looking for and where for future plans.. Except I'll need water access on one of the NC rivers or ICW to launch larger boats.
Okay Sam, you scored big time on this garage! Congratulations, sweet. Also old tractors have value.
Always following 'the sailor man'. Good luck on that surgery.
SCORE!!!! Great workshop. I keep hoping to find something like that near to me. Enjoy it mate. Witch's Cauldron would be a great name for a boat. And old tractors are collectible. EBay it on man
Hey Sam, I have been spending summers in Oriental from 1960s to present. Wonderful town and fantastic people. Perhaps we will cross paths
I'm 29 years old in scared to death of water but your videos are awesome dude
Way to go Sam! A place to call your own. It's always great to have a land base..haha
If you figure out the problem with your tiller pilot please post, my old Autohelm just started doing the same thing. I LOL'ed at some of the stuff you found there. Witches Cauldron=Priceless!
the Witches Caldron looks cool.
Brilliant idea picking up that workshop. You could do a video collaboration with one of the “American Pickers”’ type shows to unload the tractor and olde cash register and stuff!
Hellooo, dumpsters. Usually one of the first things you get whenever you buy a "lived in" property. Enjoy the landlubber stint, looks like you've found a good home port.
if this is an old gas station you may want to check the underground storage tanks that they are not rusted out and leaking ..this is a common problem with this type of venue...maybe the tanks were above ground type and have been removed...we hope....otherwise looks great and good luck
I had skipped this one and have now come back to get the back ground. You are so resourceful - it's a fabulous move on your part. Your optimism is awesome.
Get a Pelagic tiller pilot. The Autohlem issue if not if they will fail, but when they will fail.
Put a table out front and put the old stuff on it with cheap price tags. They will pay you to haul it off. Bet that old tractor on Craigslist would fetch a nickel or two also.
Hello from Canada I'm in the hospital now.
I found your video very informative and uplifting and very positive I'm sure that tractor is worth something to somebody so don't give nothing away put it on Kijiji or Craigslist you'll find you might have some real treasures
What an awesome find for $20K! Wow!
That's a great find and investment Sam. I'm sure guys like the American pickers would be interested in that window wiper unit 💲💲💲
Congrats on your workshop acres is good bit of land u could expand, add on, or build a nice home attached to your shop
Nice find, can't go wrong with a workshop!
Don't often get to give two thumbs up!
You did well to pass on that trailer! 👍
This is awesome,man you could hire out boat space for other yacht it’s doing the same to pay for services and land rates,mint.
Awesome that was a great idea . Have really learned alot sailing around the world with you . Thank you for the inspiration and entertainment.
Def my favorite sailing channel.
Mine too!!!!!
Having paid rental on storage for tools and stuff for far too many years I agree this is a much better option! There's so much you have to work with there. You can probably list that old antique tractor and get it sold fairly quickly.
Nothing wrong with having a home base to work out of. In the long run it will probably be a good investment.
nice! your place definitely has a lot of potential.
If you put in the work I'm sure you will be rewarded.
That’s great. I hope that you saw Paul wells on transporting your boat. He is a Triton marine. Great people there. They moved my 37 foot boat for me and did a great job for a reasonable price. Good luck with the projects and surgery. We live just a few miles from Oriental.
Yup I went with Paul. He did a great job. I just started editing that video tonight.
Man You just hit a lotery !!! Congratulations !!! Im loking my whole life for place like that
Just imagine all the privateers and pirate ships you’d see out there a couple hundred years ago.NC coast had a huge pirate presence. Black beards stomping grounds
