The house with all the mould leading down to the basement was actually a really nice house, like you I loved the kitchen cupboards, what a shame it’s all getting demolished. Thankyou great explore
I would have to try and find a way to bring that tanning bed home ... They must of been offered a lot to leave that and the pool table.. or had no one to help remove them .. I hope the fish were taken with them .. these houses are beautiful ....... Better than any house I lived in.. unbelievable
In all the houses you see carpet pulled back in the corners as well as padding,,And in some tiles are chipped away from the floors,,,This is due to the inspection of asbestos floor tiles that could be in the home. So thats not vandalism that is routine demo asbestos pre inspection>>>>>>
The light fittings alone are worth some decent coin in my country. Then there's the tanning bed, pool table, fridges and stoves - that's all money, even second-hand sell. Why wouldn't they take that stuff to sell? (Get a little extra from their near new homes).
Some of us do that 😎 One of my jobs is quick inspections for investment firms, sometimes homes are totally abandoned, it’s a nice side gig flipping used furniture etc 😉 it’s just not something to broadcast because it can come off as tacky.
@@vonkriktonite838 I suppose, if you're rescuing stuff that wasn't yours in the first place to on sell, that could be tacky. I had actually been thinking of the people who owned the homes before they were abandoned. I know I can't afford to buy new furniture and fittings, etc for each new house I move into. (Honestly, it's bad enough that I hate packing the plates and bowls, so I buy new ones for every move). When my grandparents moved off their farm in 97 (it sold to a developer) grandfather and all the uncles and cousins stripped the interior to the bones. It had been built in 1950s by grandfather and one of his brothers-in-law, everything by hand and precision made. Brother-in-law was a cabinet maker and carpenter. All the copper pipe, copper wire, the hardwood timber trims and floors, the cabinets, all the tin roofing and shed panels. They even pulled the old copper gravity fed hot water tank down from the roof cavity. Some they sold, some was used by others in the family, some things were still in their shed when grandfather passed.
@@bellarose-au yeah, I mean.. tbh it would be great if there was a coordinated charity thing to reuse every single thing possible in abandoned places for people in need (thinking habitat for humanity - even further expanded), but we can’t even figure out our recycling process, let alone figure out all the individually specific red tape that would occur to repurpose abandoned materials in each location… meanwhile, cost of living keeps rising dramatically so if one finds another source of income they would be wise to take it (ideally just having one job would suffice but times are different now) 😐
Just watched this video. Pretty awesome work. So sad what happened there. I was wondering where in Bensenville this was, I am interested in doing some exploring of my own.
I know where this is. I remember off a certain road right in that area years ago they brought all the houses sat for years then they built warehouses then knocked them all down to expand a certain airport. Crazy how much money people are offered for growth in that area.
I live in a house similar to the first house but not entirely. (It's a bi level house my parents renovated that I live in) but since the aesthetics of like how the home was built, it's safe to assume the house was built in the late 60's - 70's. Since the heating in the bedrooms looks like it comes from that same period.
Not necessarily true as there wasn't a whole lot of synthetic wood like materials available back then. Wood was mostly plentiful and cheap, like white oak was very common and I recognize that in a lot of these homes. And if you ask me wood is far more enviromentally friendly because you can keep on growing trees. Manufacturing plants that make all these laminate flooring choices today out of chemicals just don't seem all that good for the planet.
i think thats the neighborhood that is in the area by my work i remember a few years ago people still lived there and everyone was paid for their property everything is gone now its being developed into 2 big warehousese
My fridge is on its last leg and seeing all these really nice refrigerators !!! We could make a tradesy! Uhg why do they leave such nice things behind?
I went there today and got permission from some of the guys working there. Some old man walking by called the cops on me but the cop was cool and didn’t care that I was there
