- Today we run into a fellow who bought an abandoned granary and we get to explore it with him!
hunting for treasures and having fun on today's episode!
I just love your channel I really do. It’s like getting to go places and do things virtually. Well at the same time hanging out with you and your friends lol. I’m in the Pacific Northwest of USA and right now I am stuck in bed and I have been for a while now. Working on getting well. So I’m pretty bored and isolated. But thanks to you, my bedroom is a great access to the outside world OK and my huge flat TV hehehehehe. Thanks so much Alex and thank your family and your friends and the friends you make along the way.😍
So sorry to hear that. 🙏 for your full recovery.
I hope that you feel better soon! Hello from Edmonton!
Hope you improve each day....glad you have Alex's adventures to capture your interest....good thoughts to you from BC Canada
Hello to you from Deland, Florida.
Prayer going up for your well being from Fort Pierce FL. Alex is a one of a kind who is a magnet for other one of a kinders.

@@Tukkerted good to know!
@@Tukkerted,I never knew that. I usually click first in case I forget at the end. I’ll have to retrain myself.
❤🚙💨 fun road trip with Jason! You meet some of the most amazing people! 😂Thank for sharing. Fran
What a fascinating guy!!! Loved this episode!!! I'm sure Heather was not a fan of watching the footage as you climbed the stairway!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Fun adventure for sure 👍
What an adventure, I am so glad you met this charming gentleman at Subway and you were able to film. Looking forward to see what you purchased at the other location that you couldn’t film.
Are we getting educated or are you going to buy anything 😜 LOL, Love your channel!!!
I am thinking the whole time that this was where you were heading to only to find out that it was the result of an accidental meeting at Subway! It was your lucky day to run into this guy who was so interesting to listen to and the granary was so interesting to see. Alex, you always seem to be in the right place at the right time, which is lucky for us!
I really enjoyed the interview with the owner of the granary. He is such a smart and interesting fellow. Thanks for sharing.😊
If you're not making grain you might as well make money. Words of wisdom right there.
Does this guy have a UA-cam channel?! I’d seriously love to watch what ever the heck he’s doing!!! He’s got a great personality and so much interesting knowledge! I love that he’s repurposing a historic building and I love to see the original equipment from the grain operation!!
He's definitely a great Storyteller but he seems like the type of guy that always has to have the "biggest fish"...
@@stevengallant6363 he definitely has the biggest Granary I’ve ever seen! He’s definitely ambitious and I appreciate that he’s actually making real progress in that massive space! I watch another channel with a guy who bought an old shoe factory that was stuffed with relics and odd items.. definitely dreamers to take on huge projects like these and cool that they are preserving old historical buildings!
@@stevengallant6363 It takes all kinds!
Hi Jenifer. I can honestly tell you that I have been reading the comments from people. And I am blown away by peoples response to the video. I have been thinking of doing a youtube video for some time. I may have to get my hands dirty again.
@@gwstubbs7046 you would have a GREAT UA-cam channel I’m sure…I would most definitely watch!
That fellow is very personable and friendly! Wonderful!
I love the stories! These collectors are often really good story tellers too!
I didn't realize that you randomly met the guy at Subway. I thought you had an appointment with him and then bumped into him early. What a fascinating meet-up. Such an interesting man and place. I'm sure you also made his day with your interests and knowledge. Fun video, thanks for sharing. New friend met at aSubway.
Ok, next to Hans, GW is a hoot! You need to visit him again. I loved this episode!
I did clean the items off the stairs, safety first. Looking forward to another visit. Take care Alex.
No worries GW! Who knew there was company coming to visit? Lol!
I bet you’ll have some school teachers booking some field trips soon!
Forget Disney, I wanna go to Medicine Hat CA and tour the Granary 👍!
Thanks for the tour!
OMGOODNESSS!!! What an adventure this was....Those stairs tho..... was thinking of the old castle video...nightmares inumdo.....gosh........what a treasure this fellow was...I truly enjoyed his eclectic self! Chance meeting in a Subway too....happy that he was agreeable to film......Dad says to Jason on their way up the stairs..."Be careful coming down...there's things on the stairs"...Forever the caring parent...I get it! Happy Trails Alex...Looking forward to seeing what's in your trlr. Best from BC ♥
Hello from the Texas Panhandle. I know about grain elevators.Back in the day I used to drive a truck full of grain to the elevators and wait in line to unload. Great video. .
How fun to explore a old grain building. Nice to see Jason, he grew up so fast.❤
Excuse me .. G.W. is a Genius , seriously, I have observed gifted individuals like Alex, G.W. and the pharmacist metal detector friend, some how, some way, follow an unmarked trail towards each other in their quest for discoveries. I'm always grateful for Alexander's ability to recognize the value in documenting these priceless experiences to share. Thanks Alexander and Jason for traveling 11 hours and sharing this "holy grail of sorts". ps. side note: G.W. to me looks a little like Melissa's Dad.
Alex, you’re SUCH a DAD! I LOVE IT!! 😂 Jason is 6’ tall, and nearly a man, but you’re still watching out for him, to make sure he’s safe!! Bless your heart❤. We NEVER lose “parent mode”!
P/S. I love the ideas your mind comes up with!! 😂
guess we all have it, i'm not a dad but always look out for my younger colleagues at work
@@stevek6432 that’s so awesome of you !
This is such an interesting adventure! I can picture you becoming fast friends with this gentleman. The conversations you could have are endless! You both have such a passion and knowledge of old cars. He is such a historian and visionary. Thank you for broadening and enriching our lives. Much love to you and your family.
Yeah, its too bad he doesn't live closer, great networking resource. He knows how to do some next level stuff!
Alex you are a human walking Google. It is amazing how you have total recall and so much knowledge that you share with your utube videos. Thank you.
Love this episode. So interesting. This channel is so much better than watching regular tv.
I haven’t had cable 10 in years! UA-cam is great with so much content for everyone and it’s free! He’s doing the same thing I’d love to do but I wouldn’t know where to begin to get into it and I’d probably keep too much stuff 😬😂
Hi guys, cool adventure, I thoroughly enjoyed it....Nice fella....Take care...
It was so good to see Jason and it looked like you both had a blast. I will say that all those stairs gave me anxiety...lol. I jumped ahead about 20 seconds until you were safely atop them. I can't wait to see your haul from the intended place. I think its nice of you to respect the privacy of others when making ;your content, too. For all the actual treasures you gather along your adventures, probably the greatest are the people you meet and the stories you become a part of. Love all of it!
That gentleman is truly amazing! ❤
The man you met was cool! Loved seeing the old granary and everything in it. I love all the stories too, but I think my most favorite thing was that one man lift. I’d love having something like that in my home.
I just love your channel because I get my inner horder satisfied with out dealing with all the stuff. A loyal fan from Iowa.
Hello from Bielefeld / Germany.. I love watching your videos. I was actually driving behind a Pontiac this morning. it had 1967 at the number plate.
I have a friend in Bielefeld, that is if it actually exists ( you have to know the joke 😄).
@@cyndicunanan400 Being German I was just going to drop that joke on poor Beate (who probably hears it several times per week), I can't believe an American has beat me to it. I love it. lol
We actually know a number of people who have emigrated to our small city in Manitoba from Bielefeld.
@@phangirlable 😂 I’m Canadian, but I wouldn’t know that joke if my friend didn’t live there. It’s one of of those jokes that’s only funny to those that know about it.
Oh,the dad jokes are flying in this one😂😂😂
2 Kindred Spirits Unite... :-)
I read the headline as "I bought an abandoned granary" and was like 😮😮😮😮 untill I read it again. 😂
Me too, shaking my head. LOL
What a serendipitous subway surprize! Love how those old elevators are a piece of machinery large enough to walk around inside.
My dad would be in his glory if he was still around to see this.
This was an interesting episode, i have never seen inside a grainary before, and i have never seen a concrete one like this! Im looking forward to seeing the collectible unboxing, hopefully there will be hot wheels! 😊
Alex! You have a new kindred spirit!
Ok, this was a bucket list thing - always been curious about the interior operations of grain elevators. Modern facilities will look very different, but with the same principles.
Alex you run into so many interesting characters. This guy is amazing. 😀
What a sunny person this gentleman was, just heart warming personality. And what a place! Would be a very cool filming site.
Great video Brother Alexander. It's cool You had a Father and Son adventure. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😀 👍 ❤️ 🇨🇦💯💯
Neat video. Great memories with your son too.
What a great place to work, I love 💗 this guy and how enthusiastic 🤩 he is about his building it’s History and it’s contents, I could spend all day every day with him chatting about HISTORY & HISTORICAL equipment and stories ❤❤️❤️
the "aye you wanna go for beer later" hand puppet cracked me up! thanks.
Such an interesting person and place! Makes me miss my dad because this is the kind of place and people he loved to meet. I spent many days tagging along on his "junk hunts". He was a mechanic and our backyard was a junkyard with his shop in the middle. He also always had more dreams and projects than he had time for.
That sounds like my childhood too. I always loved going along to the junkyard. And my dad "borrowed" my red wagon one time to store an engine on but it stayed on there over a decade ☺.
VERY INTERESTING GUY. COOL TO LEARN ABOUT THE GRANARY. THANKS FOR SHARING! Do take care. Fl., U.S.A.
Well that was serendipity at its best. Two collectors meeting at Subway and a grain elevator later, a great video! I love it! Thanks for sharing with us.
I never know what I will learn on your channel. 😊 As always, thanks for letting us tag along!
One of the things I've always admired about the Victorian Era was thier desire to make even the most mundane things into works of art. Hand tools, scales doorknobs even hinges had beautiful detailing to them. The architecture was also beautiful. The rest of it can stay in the past.
What a fantastic place the gent has with such interesting items, but for me the most interesting things was the gentleman himself and the storys he could tell,
Brilliant and all because of lunch in subway x
Oh good. I was a little let down for you when I saw what he had and what you got, as I thought his place is why you drove 5 hr one way. Glad to find out this was a bonus pick!!
That's so cool to be able to look through an old grain factory and find turn of the century items..🤔😮 Those old tobacco tins are really cool..😍😉 Love this.. Take care..👍💕🔥👊
Funny, entertaining and educational
This was so fascinating and fun. Love people like GW who collect such a variety of things. Only you Alex would run into someone like that at a Subway. 👍🏼
My goodness, how coolio was that?!? Thanks to our, ""Treasure Trio!! "" 💜💙💜😊😊😊
You meet some very interesting characters.
What a cool space. Thanks for sharing.
Cool post ! Historical content is awesome, thanks for sharing
Happy Sunday all xoxo is this guy single? lol
Ogilvie is our family name. Originality from Scotland. I believe three brothers came to The Americas. One went to Canada, one the USA and the other to South America. Imagine out surprise to one day hear a Latin voice call and say he was from Panama. He always looked up the name in phone books in places he visited to find out more about his ancestry. History is amazing as you well know.
I truly admire Alexander's ability to gently persuade the trajectory of a conversation. The way he graciously brings a rabbit trail back around to the task (or invitation, in this case) without seeming rude or rushed. It reminds me of the 1936 self-help book/course Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People".
I feel like Alexander read that book when he was about 12 and took it all to heart. In a good way, I mean.
@@shinyshinythings I couldn't agree more! Alexander is humourous and winsome in the best sort of way. ☺️
Well I learned something today!
OMG. I’m so scared of heights I could never climb those narrow stairs. 😱
I tried to go up a lighthouse once...old rusty metal stairs bolted to the inside wall, looking all sketchy...yeah, I stopped on the first floor and spent my time poking around that area until the tour came back down. Heights - 1, Me-0. 🤣
I never thought an old grain elevator would be so interesting! There is an old building downtown here that has one of those small elevators in their parking garage and I've always thought it was fascinating. The owner of this building sure knows how to make the most of his free time by planning all of the projects he is doing. I'm still wondering how they would get all of the people up to the church at the top. I can't see them climbing the ladder in their Sunday best.
Was he serious about putting a church in there?
What a fascinating tour of the grain elevator and G.W. is so knowledgeable and interesting guy!
Thank you, Alex for sharing! 💕🕊️💚
Awesome video. I always enjoy your sense of humor. You seem like a great person to work for or even hang out with. God bless you and the family.
It's not everyday you get the opportunity to climb to the top of a 9 story +[?] Retired grain 🌾 elevator.
Looked scary actually.
Cool guy, cool video.
Thanks
Gotta say, this episode gave me the creeps! That staircase, yikes! But that guy is sure having fun and living the dream.
I'd invite him to our backyard BBQ!
Canada's cup overflows with
Good people's .
Most of them are fascinating
Highly talented folks .
Oh Canada !
The World is a better place with your
Hospitality and generosity of friendship .
Wow! What a great adventure!! Seems like you guys were destined to meet. Loved his knowledge and old stories about the granary and the entire area. Looks like it was a serious "leg day" for you and your son. LOL!!
Another interesting episode. I live in Alberta but have never been inside a grain elevator.
As much as he wanted to talk about his place…he should have his own UA-cam channel. It would probably be a bit fascinating
I agree!! I follow a channel called “cold war mercantile” where a guy purchased an old Buster brown shoe factory and he’s been doing videos on the process of cleaning and fixing a huge factory! I’d definitely recommend it!!
Wow! The things people do in life. He obviously loves his grain elevator. Very interesting!
What an interesting guy!
That guy was super interesting and seems to have so much energy! ❤
That was interesting and a lot of fun
This is one of my favorite videos ❤❤❤
Really interesting mill, the owner sounds like he is really not ready to part with too much unless he gets the dollars he’s wanting.
Great tour
That guy was so fascinating and I could listen to him and his stories for hours
Living the dream for sure.❤
what an elevating video....! So much good stuff!
Love that guy! Seems a lot nicer than most dudes “like that”. 👍😎😜
Climbing those steps is keeping that guy in great shape... he was winded at all! I was winded just watching😂
That’s a huge building! I figured out which one it was. Did you go to the medalta factory too? It’s a really great living museum.
Very interesting tour with great stories. 🙂
What a great video, three wonderful guys out there exploring and living the life. GW's amazing, what a huge amount of knowledge he has, all the stories and history. Gotta admit the stairs made my stomach churn, good thing you all went up in them so we don't have to. :)
I was thinking 'Thank God he didn't film their descent'...I don't think my heart could take it! 😀 I bet the owner zipped right down in his rig and had time to make a phone call and a cup of coffee. 😎
Very interesting tour. A truly eclectic collection. I got dizzy just following your climb on those stairs. Jason is a real trooper. It'll be great to see what you guys picked up at your planned location. Stay well as your explorations take you all over.
I really didn’t know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by this educational yet entertaining video! Bravo to Alex, Jason, and GW Stubbs for a great time!
in quarantine, love seeing your stuff! (even when not in quarantine😁)
That guy should have a channel of his own. Tons of interesting projects, a great old building and fascinating stories. Thanks for sharing
Another interesting gentleman! XXX
Lol- that was in the judges cupboard for the shotgun weddings. 😂
That was reminiscent of climbing a lighthouse. However that grain stairway appeared a bit more treacherous. Yikes😅
Interesting place and owner. Glad you came away with collectables Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
jason has gotten so tall and handsome. Good to see him. I love old buildings and old junk. Very fun, thanks.
It's beginning to look like you might need to build another storage building on your place. :-) OMG! He has a 1949 IOWA LICENESE PLATE! My birth year and state! I want! I'll pay whatever it takes to have it.. What is this guys name and address? Be still my beating heart.
For all the money in the world, you couldn't get me up those stairs. Nor down.
This is the best field trip you've ever taken us on!
The Top Floor of the Grain Silo Building would be an AMAZING Appartment IF THERE WAS AN ELEVATOR. Cool Building!!! I'd deffinetly have an Alarm System. BUT I live in New York sooooooooo 😅. Thanks for the Video!!! Western Upstate New York here 💕
Now be careful Jason.
Love the adventure!!!!!!
,,,,........great vid...tnx,for this.....I recycle metal,,,do clean - ups for the bank...always fun to see others do the same...we learn from each other ..........pat&family...land o' lakes,wi.
