This reminds me so much of my mother’s house. She was a hoarder but we never knew the extent of it because she did not permit us to visit her anymore. When mom suffered a stroke last year, our younger sister moved in with her. She had no patience or desire to go through mom’s stuff to see what was worth saving. She hired some men and rented a trailer to help empty three sheds in the back yard. For three consecutive days, loads and loads of everything, you name it: vintage clothing, appliances, furniture, electronics, etc. . ., were placed on the trailer and taken to the city dump. Approximately, three tons of hoarding were disposed of just from the sheds! I felt sad for my 90-year old mom as she stood there helpless seeing all her “treasures” thrown away. Some of that stuff was salvageable in good condition and could have been donated. Mom’s dream had always been to put a “little thrift store” out in the country where she lives but never got around to it. Instead she held garage sales in a desert community where people had very little money to spare. The years passed and she lost control of the accumulation. We told her she should have just given the stuff away for free and not end up like the property in this video. We had hoped that mom’s hoarding could have been disposed of after her passing but her stroke changed all those plans. Mom could not live by herself anymore and the place had to get cleaned up and made livable for my sister. It was heartbreaking 💔 for mom but time was of essence because there was evidence of mice and termite infestation that needed to be taken care of. The inside of Mom’s house was jam packed just like the video; one could not even walk through her house. How sad 😢 that things get to this point. Sorry for the long comment. Thank you for reading 🙏.

@lwright3907 Год назад

So sad. I would be worried valuable items were thrown away.

@seascape185 Год назад

If you were so concerned you should have just shown up years before she got so old . She wouldn’t allow you ?I would’ve shown up with family right then! Hope you don’t blame your sister ,sounds like she showed up to be with her at the end and she couldn’t live in that. There was plenty that could have been done it just wasn’t 😢

As someone who is striving towards being a minimalist, since I have hoarder tendencies and realized I needed to get ahold of it, this simultaneously hurts me inside to watch, and also makes me feel so grateful that I've put a stop to my own hoarding. I could've very easily gone down this route. It was so hard for me just a few years ago to let go of anything, even useless scraps of paper. Now, I've cut down so much of what I own to just things that are actually useful to me or make me happy. I feel so much better now, and I'm headed towards a brighter future, instead of what it could have become...

@Zichqec Same here, but I'm an artist/creative worker so I wíll need to continue the hoarding to a certain point, otherwise I'll lack materials and tools for my art. However, I am going to (wáy more often) have a cleaning-session and clean out the cabinets and give away/sell what I don't need after all.

@Zichqec 5 лет назад

@@Widdekuu91 I'm also an artist ^^ Honestly, my art supplies were the hardest thing for me to stop hoarding. But I took a good long look at my supplies. All the cheap supplies that I just kept around because 'maybe I'll use them for something someday' are gone. Some little kid will enjoy them more than me. Old dried clay is gone too. I cut myself down to just a few mediums I know that I already use, and a few that I want to work on exploring, but honestly giving myself less supplies has made it so much overwhelming. You don't really realize how much stress your stuff is giving you until you decide to let it go. I do recommend going through your art supplies and just really considering why you have some of them and if you're actually going to use them for anything. You don't have to get rid of anything, you can just really, truly look at them and think about it. And if you want to keep them you absolutely can! But if you decide that maybe you'd be happier without, then you'll be able to make that choice and it feels so good. Best of luck to you ^^ It can be a real struggle with crafting supplies so I feel your pain ;;

@Zichqec 5 лет назад

@@Stettafire Oh man, I feel that a lot. Honestly, the best thing for me was just to take a box of stuff at a time, and sit and pull out every single item, considering each one and why I had it and what I really wanted to do with it. If you take the time to sit and think, sometimes you realize you're holding onto some pretty silly things XD Usually I'd end up with a pile not much smaller though, and realized I'd clicked into a mindset of recognizing a thing, and not really thinking it through, just setting it in the 'keep' pile because I'd recognized it. So then I go through the pile again and repeat the process slower, until I feel like everything I've kept has a valid reason for being kept (even just really liking a thing is a valid reason!) Good on you for the effort you're putting in, I'm sure your family will eventually truly appreciate it ;; It's a good thing you're doing to be caring for them even after you're gone Best of luck to you ^^ Minimalism isn't always easy if you're not automatically wired for it, but it should feel very rewarding once you've gotten started

@annazett3164 5 лет назад

I'm happy you bought the house. And the lady who lived there probably wouldn't mind it either. You have such a calm, respectful and at times almost loving energy towards the things in the house. The people in those hoarder tv-shows always have a us vs. the house or hoard mentality. They mainly exhibit contempt, disgust and anger, even if there's near to no rotten stuff or garbage in the house. Same with a lot of "treasure hunter" type tv shows. Always on the hunt for that one valuable thing and destroying everything in their wake. If it's the original vintage packaging or the 100 year old closed wardrobe missing the key, everything gets torn apart. This was someone's home! And there was probably a reason why she kept all those things. Even if it was only in her head and maybe she got overwhelmed by it. It still was significant to her and deserves to be treated with respect. And who knows which of these things (will) have significance to other people (in the future).

my father-in-law hated banks, as he went through the depression. When he died my husband and i were going through his clothes. I found an old pin stripe suit in plastic, way in the back of the closet. When I pulled it out it seemed too heavy to be just a suit. I felt around and the hem had these lumps in them. I carefully undid a thread to make an opening,,,,he had 40k cash in the hem of his suit he never wore!! My husband found sock sets unopened he and his brother had gotten their dad for christmas when they were kids!! This man wasted nothing, but he was neat as a pin!! He got free cheese and butter from the govt., tubs of grain in the attic, and turns out he was worth over half a million dollars!! That was just from working and saving his entire life. He was from the old country, Germany, his name was Otto. What really made me laugh was, he had one plate, one glass, bowl, spoon and fork, and 2 pans!! He was the oldest of 14 kids and born in 1911, I think. And he even still had his phone on a party line!! The only person left in the city to have one,lolHe was quite a character. He was a handy man, working on a roof one day, alone. He cut three fingers off sawing some boards, he picked them up, wraped them in a hankerchief and drove himself to the hospital!! When they say, they don't make em' like that anymore, it was damn true in his case!!!

My grandpa was a hoarder. We cleaned out 47 lawnmowers, 56 vacuum cleaners, and thousands of tools. Yeah, it's neat to find things you've never seen, but it's so sad thinking about the mental issues people go through when they start saving every thing.

@BMarie774 5 лет назад

Tasha By any chance did he have OCD or OCD behaviors? That may seem like a weird question, but I've recently found out there's a correlation between hoarding and OCD. I myself have issues with letting things go. I'll literally keep little insignificant notes, and just random things. I find it hard to let things go and I tend to collect things. Recently my therapist had mentioned it's actually my OCD which makes me collect things or have that "what if I want it/need it later" mentality. I'm just curious if he showed any OCD tendencies because that correlation fascinates me. People assume people with OCD have to be spotless and have everything tidy. That's not always the case. I prefer things organized and tidy but I do tend to overwhelm myself with stuff. It seems a lot of these people who hoard have obsessive compulsive disorder.

Still the best shower I've ever taken.

@Sailfire1 5 лет назад

Putting the shower in the basement gave it an extra "head" of water pressure, like 3 meters of extra gravity compared to the rest of the place. Your poor dad with three daughters when he wanted to go to the bathroom. Yeah, I can understand that. It was worth the effort to put a new shower in. Your dad probably had to get a pump system to get the wastewater shifted out too. Your dad being a fireman, well, what he knows about water pressure would fill a chapter in a book. Hats off to your dad, he must have put himself on the line to help a lot of people. I hope his plan worked and he got to go to the bathroom when he wanted.

One shop owner saw her interest so much he gave her something from the shop for free. We had and still have a few old cars, one car a 72 Chevy C-10 I had purchased to flip and make money off but she begged for me to keep it and well... I did. I gave it to her, although she was too young to drive, she wanted it for college when she was a bit older. we got to do a few things on it together. An amazing young daughter, buddy, best friend, I raised her as a single widowed dad and she sadly passed away at 13 years old in 2016 in a car accident two weeks after I had given her the pickup truck. I hope one day I have money to restore her truck in her memory. Love your channel, seeing the kid in the intro reminded me so much on how I and my baby used to go everywhere.

When I see flip shows I cringe when they just haul stuff away. If I was flipping houses I'd have a friend who had a thrift shop at least come get the stuff that is salvageable. I'd let the friend get the good stuff at least. That would make the dumpster fee less. I shudder to think of the antiques and treasures that have been thrown out. I was passing a trash pile recently and I don't normally pick stuff up, in fact I've been culling stuff the last few years but I saw a drop leaf table that matched what I already had. I saw the home owner sitting on the porch and asked him if it was up for grabs ( I live in a polite subdivision ) and I got to meet a new neighbor and he was so nice, he helped me load it. He was so glad someone was going to get use of it. At Christmas, It added five extra square feet to my table area for drinks and snacks for my parties. This was a very nice video y'all!

@sugarkitty2008 5 лет назад

There was an amazing turnout on an item in antique roadshow you know. Women brought a little pot/vase at a car boot for £1. Used it as a plant pot for a bit and them stored it in the loft. During a clean out she came about it again and was just going to throw it out, but since the roadshow was coming to her town soon she held onto it, cause why not. Turns out it was worth at least £25k. They sold it for £32k. Could have easily thrown out that £32k non the wiser. Another pot, a guy used as a goal post for the kids or something. It valued at £10k. He held onto it and sold it later for £560k. The market had changed drastically. Makes you wonder how many people could have been far richer than current, just because they didn't see the value in an old object.

Either take the clothing to consignment or take it someone where its organized to sell. The vintage clothing is so amazing, Id have so much fun sorting that.

Only issue with working top, down, is if you can't get to the top because of the stuff thats down. I think it also depends on the psycology of the person cleaning. In my case, I work on the thing that's slapping me in the face first. Then that will make me feel less overwhelmed, which will help me continue on with the cleaning. Work from big stuff, into smaller stuff one room at a time, starting from the entrance and going back and up:) But it depends on what suits you the best:)

That shower looks like it could skin you! Yikes! Don’t forget to metal detect the yard when the snow melts and it warms up. Please wear a dust mask!

@andytaylor1588 5 лет назад

Great idea! Metal detection could really find some value on a property like this one!

Ohh yeah, I bet there's a tin or two of money in the yard!!!!

I really think you should just systematically go room by room on this. You risk damaging things crawling around on top of it. I get that its an adventure, but the best/most exhausting way is to be completely thorough with it, but I guess its a [time]cost/benefit deal also. Good luck. Get a respirator next time, and wear leather or chemical gloves on top of your vinyl ones for protection. Knee pads might be a good idea also and steel toe boots. This looks like a heck of a project...

Shower in the hotel had me crying with laughter! Looking forward to the discoveries in this one.

When you see this kind of thing the relatives just want to liquidate the estate and get rid of the problem.. To be honest I'd imagine they're relieved not to be forced to deal with it... I'd guess you can see a lot of value there.. Your very brave taking on such a big project..

I enjoyed your line about the shower head being "strong enough to clean ticks off sheep." :-)

Free advice: Wear a dust mask - mice carry/spread disease. You're too smart, articulate and nice looking to die far too young over an old house, lots of "stuff" - and MICE! Will we EVER be able to know your first name?

I'm anxiously awaiting to see what treasure you find....plus I want to know what you paid for that house! hahaha Curiosity driven subscription (plus that story with the homeless guy, his Disney find and your actions afterwards had me going awwww - hope he makes it to Ontario)
