Buchan Revival EP 6

Those Kenmore washers and dryers NEVER DIE😂

[@anadaneen70]

TRUTH. I have a set we bought in 2012, we bought a new home in 2016 with brand new set of samsungs. I sold the samsungs. Its 2024. Ive had to put a 30 dollar heating element in the dryer once, and a 13 dollar set of agitator dogs in the washer twice, but they are amazing. I will not not exchange durability for looks....ever.

[@tessTN]

Lady Kenmore was Sear's absolute top o' the line appliances. Luxury models. YES, KEEP THEM! They perform better than any brand/model sold today. Parts are still readily available & as you said, they're 100% mechanical so nothing can't be fixed. If you just can't bring yourself to use them, advertise & sell them. (personally, I don't care what color an appliance is, if it works well. As Grandpa told me once, "no good horse is a bad color.") Thank you for sharing your exciting, but herculean adventure! All blessings to you and yours in the new year!

Kenmore brand was manufactured by Whirlpool . Back in the '80's I worked at a company that made the little metal serial number tags that were attached to every unit . Whirlpool appliances was one of our customers and the Whirlpool and Kenmore tags were lithographed and stamped at the same time . Yes , they are a good brand .

Hi, hey I love these videos and I’m exhausted just watching you work! Lol The washer and dryer are so cool. I couldn’t scrap them either. You’re doing great on the videos. Also love those crocks you found. Really cool!

[@gmag1969]

I feel you guy's pain. My wife and I were given a house by my in-laws that I've been working on for 5 years now. I've taken 8 15 yard dumpsters (4 full size dumpsters) out of the place and have barely made a dent in it. Got videos on my channel of it. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more.

[@ellencassidy7795]

HOLY COW! THAT RANGE IS A JENN AIR LIKE MINE! IT HAS A DOWN DRAFT EXHAUST.

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

You have a mess on your hands. Looking forward to following your progress. Great video.

[@Crazygardenlady]

You guys rock! The cleaning is back breaking work but the sorting has got to be mentally exhausting also. The masters of sorting! The honey is probably good. Love the washer and dryer. They dont make them that good anymore and its easy to keep them going. Now they only last maybe 5 years. Happy new year!

[@jbcritch]

Music is so much better now!!! The work is coming along nicely!!!

[@vruth23]

Clean the old wood furniture with 1to 1 vinegar and water with just a few drops of dish soap. dry it with an old towel and oil it with Watco rejuvenating oil . It will look like new.

[@Dustindbest]

Love it keep up the good work. OMG keep the washer and dryer love em. I would fix em up and reuse them for back up or stuff you want to wash not using your new washer and dryer. I bet they work like a charm still. Or you can ship them to me lol. 😂. Thanks for the videos as you say! lol take care have a happy new year…

[@daveffs1935]

That honey should be fine, the fact that its darkened is a pretty good sign that its safe. It's highly acidic and doesn't have much water in it so its hard for bacteria and microbes to survive. Anything silver should be stamped, dead easy to spot, usually on the back of the handle on forks and spoons, and on the blade on knives. Happy new year to you guys, looks like its going to be full of grafting getting this house back together.

[@RogerNatale]

Love the long videos house is coming along nicely 😊

[@doriskosmos6087]

Wow great progress. Even though it's very cold I think you are better doing this in the winter. Summer would be worse with bugs and smells. Keep up the good work you will have the worst of it done before spring.

[@RTANTIQUES]

Check with a local beekeeper about the honey. Bees might reclaim it and put it back to use in their hives.

[@urbanurchin5930]

Honey can be used to make MEAD ! Since the process involves some minor boiling - you can be sure that there would be no harmful elements in the finished product . Note : fully fermented mead takes about 10 -12 years to fully ferment out and be smooth enough to drink . Back in the '90's , I won several ribbons , in local competitions , for the mead that I brewed .

[@carlacaldwell5675]

Hello. You are doing a great job. Much improved from the first couple of videos. People like a good renovation or restoration video. You can watch a few others with lots of subscribers to see how they do it. If you get enough subscribers, you can monetize the channel and get some reward for your effort.

[@fozziebare2676]

My mother recently opened a 5 lb can of honey dated 1961. It is the best tasting honey ever. That is enough honey to last you a very long time.

[@suzannelindsey4800]

I loved seeing the washer and dryer! How bougie! Whomever lived here in the 80s had some money based on the kitchen and appliances. How cool that you found the receipts and blueprints for the kitchen remodel.

[@RogerNatale]

Keep the washer and dryer clean it up probably works great.😮

[@ish441]

You guys work so hard! I'm sure it will look so wonderful in the end!

[@nani5964]

Myself, I like the longer videos. Here to watch all your progress.

[@johnbenham1881]

This is quickly becoming the highlight of my week.

[@lgreen8777]

Thank you for taking us along on this journey. It's such a great house. I'm so glad you're going to restore it!

[@bonnevillebagger9147]

The honey is probably the most valuable find yet. It would be a shame to waste it. It’s extremely microbial, but if you’re concerned you can always boil it and re can it. Or even make mead or cyser out of it. The fermentation process would purify it.

[@susanr3560]

What a beautiful house. Can't wait until it is a home. ❤❤

[@kathyhays9819]

Awesome finds.

[@amyutah1934]

I think you might be able to cream the honey if it'sgone to sugar. The only knowledge I have about it came from a youtube video so I could be wrong. Definitely do some research before throwing it out! Any broken glass or pottery would make awesome mosaics. Thanks for taking us with you on this adventure!

[@bonnevillebagger9147]

The kitchen tile is most likely not asbestos tile. More likely armstrong vct tile. A favorite for people who like a vintage aesthetic and perfect for concrete subfloors.

[@Americanwomancirca1969]

I love the kitchen floor! Can't wait to see this project through!!

[@Ragnar8504]

Several online source suggest that VCT (vinyl composition tiles) can contain asbestos and you should have them tested before you do anything.

[@toniasalways]

I was b. 1946 so of course I see things differently than someone younger. If you can't make yourself use the honey, use it for bird food. I think some of those items might be collectable. Not worth a lot but someone might do the happy dance to get it. A lot of it would be flea market. is that a radio on the top shelf? I knocked my 1965 transistor portable radio off the counter and now it doesn't work :-( Someone would snap those kitchen cupboards up. Do you have a Habitat or Humanity? If you could get that washer running it would be better quality than what you get now. I did the history of my house from 1853 to me. I researched all the owners. I got all the previous owners names from the courthouse. I had to visit the abstracts first but it was fascinating. I have saved everything in a big binder that I'll leave with the house when I have to leave it.

[@sharonvitori4101]

Fun to watch, Happy New Year

[@elizabethtaylor4448]

It's looking good. There are companies that supply for TV & film production that will buy those old machines. TV included.

[@jeanineadele]

I would only eat the honey if the jars ere sealed. You may find an alternate use for any that are open. Maybe to feed wildlife or the garden.

[@Kooikermom]

You might consider not microchecking everything, work vs reward ratio is poor. Love the house and can’t wait to see how you get on 😊❤

[@kentfellers]

I'm really enjoying this video series. Great job. I love old homes like this. But here is something to consider : As old as that house is the windows are probably old single pane glass. Check out the cost of a new replacement window, then count up how many windows you have in that big old house. Could get very costly. If you decided to leave them, think about how inefficient they are with the cold winters where you are and how much it will cost to heat that house with the heat leaking out the inefficient old windows. Then comes how much money are you willing to pour into this fantastic house and will you ever get it out of it one day?. I speak from experience. Been there, done that. Love old houses but it comes with a caveat.

[@urbanurchin5930]

In an earlier video - it was mentioned that some of the windows have been replaced with thermal , double-pane with vinyl frames .

[@Ragnar8504]

I'd suggest storm windows instead if the old windows are in reasonable shape. There might even be old storm windows somewhere on the property. I seem to remember that one of the previous videos showed brass tacks with numbers on windows, these were usually fitted to identify which storm window or screen went where.

[@ish441]

Keep the honey! Maybe you could pasturize it again to feel better about it.🐝

[@brianandrews7099]

100% pure honey never goes bad (it can turn back to sugar in time but will reconstitute when heated), it will not grow or support bacteria so it would be safe to consume. That said, I could not eat it after being in that situation, either. You could dispose of it without any environmental hazards or, yes, the bees would be glad to have it back.

[@1936stever]

If you don't trust the honey give it to a bee keeper. They can feed it back to the bees.

[@Tuberhead1000]

The honey should be fine, as you mentioned. Perhaps facebook to unload? Also, what's on the USB stick?

[@itzchuckitzenthaler8919]

I was wondering why you did not pull the hinge pins to open the doors to remove the locks to repin the keys?

[@AmyMoore-u8w]

Your wife is a trooper

[@vruth23]

sand those stuck drawers a bit and rub Soap on all the edges, they will glide better.

[@AmyRaeVee]

You should just have a giant flea market at your place. Let people come get the stuff.

[@ohPokey]

Yes just wash the honey jars off and they and the honey will be great I bet.

[@lisanowakow3688]

Is the roof bad? That should be done sooner than later if it is. Call an appliance rental place and see if they want to buy the washer/dryer.

[@jeanineadele]

That is such a big kitchen, I could do a lot of cooking in there. The area with the wood stove seems like a lot of wasted space. Do you have any plans for that area?

[@ellencassidy7795]

Did you find the grill components for the JennAir?

[@Tuberhead1000]

The wood stoves look ok, are they useable?

[@JayAndross-s4u]

Ask Jeff Harford about the honey. I know he keeps bees.

[@ellencassidy7795]

Why don't you keep the appliances? These new energy efficient washers are Crap! Those cabinets are beautiful. The JennAir range is great. Mine is a 1994 model, still working fine every day , grilling ribs right now

[@tommyshaw6625]

You have steps going to a basement next to the washer / dryer?

[@urbanurchin5930]

The steps to the basement were part of this addition onto the back of the house . Access is through a trap door in the floor of the side porch .

[@NomadicMScott]

Is it possible to put more lights on in the area you’re working in if at all possible, sometimes the Timelapse looks a little dark to see details, thanks very much and looking forward to more vlogs 😊

[@TeriGutierrez-n3r]

Those of us who work in dental offices don't touch the denture boxes without gloves either. Yuck 🤢

[@gilbertgreens]

Keep the honey lasts forever.

[@SmrtisAttrctv]

❤

[@robingillespie4467]

I want the washer and dryer set, would you ship it to me?

[@shannongrams8727]

I'd try the honey. If not, then compost it.

[@vruth23]

when honey is that old and dark, it probably doesnt taste good anymore, and there is a possibility of contamination in the open jars.

[@gailburke4174]

So interesting

[@vruth23]

Doll is $75 to $150 used on ebay.

[@erwinaddison2030]

Did you find any 100 dollar bills?😊

[@ish441]

I really want to buy the old black phone!

[@michaelmurphy75]

don't 4get 2 turn that old TV into a bar or a small dog/cat casa

[@RosieM-u6q]

Hey there, very interesting watching your progress and clean up. One thing I thought of is if there were rodents and other critters in the house, all of the kitchen utensils, pots and pans, etc are likely contaminated and I probably wouldn't trust them to be used by someone else. Thanks for sharing. I know you've done a lot of work already! ❤❤

[@JM-jm-d3y]

Do you realize you need to wash them before use!? 😂😂🤦

[@RosieM-u6q]

@JM-jm-d3y i still wouldn't trust dishes or anything that may have had rat or raccoon feces on it.

[@RosieM-u6q]

@JM-jm-d3y i still wouldn't want to eat off silverware or dishes that had animals or their waste on it. Regardless of how much cleaning.

[@Lovenature255]

Correct, honey doesn’t go bad, but you have no idea what some of the individuals who have trespassed may have put in there. Don’t trust it.

[@carlacaldwell5675]

Donate the honey to people who would like to have it.

[@ish441]

That old tv would be worth quite a bit!

[@oboewankenobo8675]

Ditch the jars of honey. Not worth potentially getting food poisoning or worse.

[@kylieharrison3782]

I was born in 1969 and see nothing of resale value amongst your 'treasures'. 🤔

[@conniearancivia7599]

Cleaned up you could probably still get $2500 for the SubZero. Enjoyed the new longer video.
