Abandoned- Old cottage and shed with old stuff/Find more cool old things 4 years later/Re-visit

[@onelastgoodhome]

Thank you, Paul!! My cousin still had the copper laundry tub in her terrace house (fully functional) back in the mid-1980's....

[@sueturnermrsuniverseaustra4220]

That IXL stove we had a green specked stove mum replaced it with the black one in 1965. Absolutely brilliant once again thank you Paul ❤

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Sue :-) Love the old stoves. There are many old green ones called Metters in old homes here in South Australia. Cheers for watching again :-)

[@FuerzaArmada]

I have one of those cupboards in the summer kitchen that was given a lot of love, it stores my tea towels, dinner set, glasses, bowls and the Christmas food treats that I begin to stockpile leading up to Christmas.

[@janacollins-maguire4942]

You've been working hard Paul, to bring us new videos!! Another farm with lots of cool stuff. It's unfortunate that beautiful wardrobe wasn't saved. Cheers & thank you. 💜☮️

[@YtGad7000]

Such a pity the landlord didn't want to spend money on repairs! He would still be getting paid rent if he did! Gorgeous wood in living room, the wood stove looks like it could still be used and all!

[@williamgriffin7584]

Please keep that song...I like it

[@lindakrumenauer1099]

I also enjoy the song. wonder date on it? the sewing machine is so very nice. I'd love to get it running again. I have three old ones now. such a great piece of history! no plastic, heavy iron.😊

[@susanburns276]

Me as well 👍

[@littlebopeeps5852]

You're spoiling us. So many new vids 😊

[@sandrakoch8682]

I really enjoyed this explorer seeing the old claw foot tub, the stove, the laundry area. I bet they heated the water up for the tub by using the laundry copper pot as well as for washing dishes and cleaning. Thank you Paul for revisiting this old home.

[@MrGaryRoberton]

This Farmstead is old enough to see the craftsman were trained in the old country, or by someone from there. Elements in the home were almost straight out of a Design book from 125 years ago. I have heard the two wheel traps as we called them, referred to as "Jinkers" Late modified to use on metaled roads with rubber tires. Would give a lot to have seen it back then.

[@Sierrasky-y6h]

I believe this country home was beautiful in her day. It looks so peaceful out there.

[@QueenSnowBunny]

Oh how it would have been a peaceful time back then.

Some really awesome finds in the abandoned old cottage, 🏠such as the vintage kitchen stove, the copper boiler, iron claw foot bath and the French style armoire. I really enjoyed your explore of the abandoned farm cottage thanks Paul. 😊

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Julz for watching again! :-)

[@jogebert8223]

What a beauty, with so much history and old treasures to be found everywhere. Thanks for the explore.

[@patrickb5783]

After all these years, it's amazing that nobody has reclaimed this property. I guess it just sits there to deteriorate away.

[@orionwarren4244]

I can imagine moving into that place in 2003, repairs notwithstanding. Like stepping back a century in time!

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

Another great explore Paul. I'm surprised the old farmhouse is still relatively intact, considering it's open to the environment and abandoned. The crate like item in the shed next to the Ute body is a disassembled wool press. Missing is the manual compression corse screw drive, situated on top, and the compression plate that is aligned by internal rails.Once full of wool, the screw drive, operated by hand, forces the compression plate vertically, compressing the wool into a bale, than reversing the screw to return the plate to the top.This may be done several times before the bale is strapped and ejected. Hard yakka!. Still used today but are automated. I've recently restored a 'Australian Wool Corporation ' branded wool baler that is 110 years old. Aquired from a derelict shearing shed in the Mallee, made from Jarrah, it weighs 250 kgs!. Just a suggestion...ever thought of documenting all the ovens into a comprehensive timeline of history and development? 👍👍🇭🇲

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey Andrew! Great work on the resto of one of those old bailers, hard yakka for sure back in the day. Cheers for the info! And yes the old stoves I have thought of doing a timeline kind of thing, cheers mate! :-)

g,day paul inthe shed with the blue ute tub was a old wool bale press, the big thing you call a saddle on the old shed with the horse buggy was a dray saddle , the wheels you saw in the paddock was a old dray wagon l hope this helps you and viewers cheers mate...

Those old wardrobes you saw in this video were not hard to move. They were called knock down wardrobes. They got their name from easy to take apart. They were put together with pegs so all you had to do to move them was knock out the pegs and it comes apart in pieces for easy moving.

[@QueenSnowBunny]

What a place it would have been to live. So beautiful and peaceful. ThanQ for sharing your videos and time with us.

So many loves in this one. The pram...claw foot tub....buggies. great explore. As always much love from West Virginia ❤️ 💙 ♥️

[@timareskog2418]

I much prefer your videos of these old places compared to the ones in Adelaide. These old farms have much more character and items of interest. Most likely the Hot Water Unit was never installed as the old wiring and fuse box would have needed an additional circuit run to it, providing it had the electrical capacity to handle it. Yes that was on old Wool Press. Great walk thru & video. Thank you 👍

[@Bluerose888]

Not if it was gas, don't need electric then for the water heater.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks heaps for watching, glad you enjoy these ones Tim :-)

Excellent video! Cool old buggies (carriages)! I'm glad you were able to explore the shed this time! Boy, the birds were going crazy there a couple of times! LOL

[@Pruzie83]

It's really nice to go back and check places again. I still adore that wardrobe and stove. I havn't read anyones comments yet but it looks to be an old wool press, as the ones today that ive seen, look simular but made out of steel. Hey bailers look to be longer, horizontal along the ground where the bailed hey comes out the end.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Prue :-) Yep you are on the money there, many others agree a wool press :-) Cheers!

[@Kevin-lz7fj]

Nice little home

[@jerroldmcley4347]

I think it was a collar and not a saddle hanging on top. A harness for the horse to pull the cart. Such a beautifuuuuuul old cupboard too bad to rot and the mantel just gorgeous. Nobody who can save it?👍

[@jenniferspotten915]

Another awesome explore Indigo! Those carts in the sheds were fun to see! And as always, the stove in the kitchen was my most fav!👍

Thanks for making these videos, i look forward to each new one. They bring back memories of when I used to stay with various relatives in the country. The smell and taste of delicious meals from the wood stove, the scalded cream with preserved fruit, and sinking down into the wonderful feather beds with crispy white sheets.

I love these revisit videos and country houses thanks. I would like to see a revisit of a house you had the permission of the owners to visit, it was raining, the house had an L shaped concrete porch and you entered the house from the rear off the porch. It was still furnished, untouched and had a great times passed feeling. And the old school/weekend home that was so cool. I have watched all your videos several times and some of the houses are like old friends

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks heaps for your support William and for watching all these videos! Many more to come! :-)

[@FeatheredLife]

I think what you called hay press might actually be a fleece press. After the sheep are sheared, the wool is placed in large burlap bag within box. Then a person compacts it down tightly until full. It is then stitched closed with a baling needle &heavy jute twine. Quite often there is pulley system to lift it out of the box.

[@Bluerose888]

That old copper washing, how did they drain the water? I didn't see a drain. The water heater looks like it is just hooked up to the gas. I don't see any water lines to it. That are usually at the top.

Love these videos especially when there's things from the days of horse and cart. The old machine you thought was a hay baler was a wool press I reckon.

[@markkilley2683]

Tenants and landlords. Common problem. IXl did they also make jams? It may or may not be a wool bale press?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Mark, yes others have stated a bale press too! :-)

[@k8iee520]

It's an old wool press, hay press was close! For future finds if you see a number on it, it means the number it was produced in Australia, found one which was 70 something and 90 something. Pretty cool!

I love this house! This reminds me of some of the older videos from the country that were so beautiful and easy to picture yourself living in. Not ruined by people making a mess by squatting. This one seems like such a pleasant place with beautiful views. The first item on the note you found read: 1. HOT WATER SERVICE was to installed within three (3) months of my moving in. Moved in on January 11, 2001. I’d take that as proof that you were absolutely right - that’s a brand new hot water heater that was just placed there and never properly installed. This poor person lived there till well past 6 months, from the sounds of it, without hot water. He mentions in the item about stove repair that he had given info to the landlord possibly 6 months before that note was written! Thanks for this one, Paul! Going back to see if I can find the original vid. 🌼

[@sarahstrong7174]

That statement of complaints about the lack of maintenance was probably made to justify leaving before the end of the lease or without giving as long a notice as the tenant was meant to. The landlords negligence probably broke the terms of the rental agreement.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@sarahstrong7174 Yes, of course. He says so

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

For anyone wanting to see the original, it’s from 4 years ago and titled “Abandoned - Old Cottage, well preserved interiors/no vandals just decay”. It’s just two entries down from “Abandoned - Duplex Sex Den!” which gave me a bit of a laugh! 😂
