You won't believe what we found in this abandoned cabin

[@roadtriplover.]

What makes me sad about places like this one is that, once upon a time, someone loved this house “home”, took time to decorate and cherished it. It’s great that you can create that opportunity again.

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

@RoadTripLover Why be sad at a place well lived in and once loved?? For a season it made memories for those who lived within its walls. Even if it had to be bombed now ,there's no need for sorrow, not all yesterdays make great t'moros. Learn to rejoice in the beauty that was , not in the junk that is . Positivity makes a far better foundation for the future than sadness at what is past.

It kind of made me sad that the owner of the cholesterol medication probably died and thus why all the furniture was left behind. I know it is just "stuff", but someone cared for it once. A lot of someones slept in those beds. Why didn't anyone want to come back and strip down the house of all the furniture and belongings? Why?

[@roadtriplover.]

@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 A person can have a positive attitude about the future, while still feeling sad about what brought him to his present. Sadness and positivity can be felt at the same time.

I am in LOVE with the boomerang table! They are highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors. There were actually quite a few pieces that are highly desired, like the kitchen chairs (the turquoise ones), but I couldn’t tell what condition they were in. The white vanity in the bedroom is another one, but sadly the mirror was broken (still desired though). I also liked the kitchen light & table! This place was like a time capsule! Brooke is so brave tasting the spaghetti sauce. I am a crazy person regarding food freshness, lol.

[@akj1818]

I've recently completed a hoarder house clean out, so I understand the hard work that goes into a project like this cabin. I watched your older video about the old bunker you cleaned up and you gave me a lot motivation to keep going with my big clean out. It's great to have a few extra hands to help with the large and heavy items and it's surprising how much work you can complete in a day if you stick at it and work together as a family!! This new cabin really is a worthy project and I can't wait to see you put your love, care and elbow grease into it and convert it into a 'chalet.' I could watch other people work all day. haha But then I'll think, "I've got a few of my own projects to work on" and I'll get up and go do them! Thanks for the inspiration!
