A Hoarder's 1st Basement Cleaning EVER

In the middle of 2018, my Grandpa passed away. Upon his passing, he turned over the farm to my Dad, my brother, and I. The farm consisted of a house, fields, buildings, and an unlimited supply of junk. After spending an entire summer cleaning the main floors on the house, I decided to tackle the basement. There was only one issue; the 1917 farm house’s basement has not been cleaned in over 40 years.

If not, leave it in a sink of water for a few months along with food scraps and dirty dishes. I'm a tad lazy, but not that lazy, but Cole makes me look super lazy lol.

Cole, I think "The Other Living Room" is actually called "The Parlor". A Parlor was located next to the front door. It is where the owner/resident would meet and entertain a guest without disturbing the privacy of the rest of the family. The parlor is where a young lady would meet her beau when he came over to court her. (Don't think that, this was the 1900's, a more innocent era.) It may have had a piano, sofa, table, chairs and probably one of the fireplaces. (Homes of that era usually had several fireplaces) You might think of it as a Public Living Room and the other is a Private/Family Living Room.

[@joesurfer9754]

He needs to turn The Parlor into a library, Stocked with books on everything, A few big oil painting landscapes (very important) . All the manuals for all of the machinery. Comfortable table and reading chairs and lights. Heater. Large rug.

That is one very nice farmhouse! I'm sitting here watching you clean out that basement, trying to get up the energy to clean out the basement of the hoarder home that I bought. Wish I had your energy!

[@HawklordLI]

Damn Cole, I wish I had 10% of your energy!

[@jvdm7195]

😱 a you tuber not using God's name in vain or constantly swearing. Love it!!!

It’s feels great to see physically fit and hard working young people like Cole and Nave doing hard work! I have 4 millennials grandkids and none of them have any idea about really hard work. I am concerned for the future of this country with so many lazy millennials. These videos of Cole and friends gives me hope. They are truly inspirational!,

[@aziraaziz4307]

I hope you never lose your positive outlook in life. Such a cheerful bubbly young man. May God bless you.

It is truly a beautiful house, both on the inside and, when the panel is finished, even the outside. They could really build beautiful houses in the past. The basement is so big, so you could almost have a cinema there.

[@aliciagritzan5398]

Great videos. Hope you wear respirators when moving questionable things that look moldy. Safety first! Looking forward to more videos!

You know how to clean and a hard worker not to many young men today are like you , you should be very proud of yourself.

I helped clean my grandmother's home in 1980. In late 2013, moved my mother to a nursing home and cleaned out her home. My greatest tool is a shredder. Out of 8 large boxes of paperwork, that came to Iowa with me, I have one left to finish. I'm no 22 year old with a cute, young girlfriend. 68. Alone. I don't want to leave my children a huge mess. But sometimes it happens. Just as you have talked about people passing away so eloquently, keep the lesson of your grandfather's mess in mind your whole life. Don't do that to your children or grandchildren. Give away, throw away.

[@marycarricaburu3683]

I feel the same way. My current husband and I have been married 20 years. I am 85 now. In the time we have been married we have had the Privilege (?) of either cleaning or helping clean out about 6 houses. I am working on making sure my kids don't have to go through what we have. I throw something out every week. Even if it is just a piece of paper or old magazine. I have a bookcase that is full. If I get a new book, an old one has to go. Sometimes, it is very hard, then I think, what will my kids do? Once in awhile, one of the kids or grandkids will like something. Here it is sweetheart, take it home. NOOOO!! I just like it. Too bad, it is in your suitcase already.

Its better to rid of stuff knowing certain items went to someone you know needs it cherish it. Also, takes the burden off of kids or grand kids having to deal with it.

[@KlipschHead281]

Right there with you, next likely will be my brother and he has a farm house and a monster sized garage filled every nook and cranny, it will be the biggest hoard I have ever cleaned up after. I'm getting up there in age as well, have cleaned up too many times after family death, but we do what we have to. You're not alone Barry get those kids visiting, I know how hard that is, good luck.

[@kathleenroman9379]

I agree! My daughter & SIL recently bought our home. They wanted us to stay, so we did quite a bit of renovation for them. I’ve been cleaning, donating, etc., so as not to leave that mess for them. I’m soon to be 69, so I’m happy to leave them the legacy of a nice, clean home. Lol ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️

[@mr.bentwrench5459]

Keep up the good work. My farm was just like that when i bought it from my father in law. It took me 2 years to get it cleaned up. But it looked great 25 years later when I turned it over to my daughter.

[@supergardener123]

You two should be commended for the tremendous amount of work you both did. Small goals is definitely the best way to attack the project.
