Wow lots of grills today! The white jewelry box my mom had one probably 1950 or 60s. Brought back memories to see that. Some nice old finds a good day!

[@emmaeldridge524]

Taco i think you mentioned nailing boards on your deck.. Im not a carpenter but i'm married to one. Use screws not nails. Nails will back out overtime. Thanks for letting us ride along with you..

[@TacoStacks]

I went with nails because removing the deck was fairly easy with nails in it, there were a couple boards with screws and boards were splintering and a pain to take out. I do agree with the nails popping up :(

[@LuckyGuu]

Ape-Stacks Hello

[@emmaeldridge524]

Thank you for your reply.. I love watching all your adventures. Keep the faith.. You are a very nice , hard worker.

[@danbailey96]

Screws are great but guess what was used long, long before screws ...correct nails if you use galvanized deck nails ( spiral ) they last and are a real pain to get out even if you want to of course you young chaps probably have not used nails building a deck there are decks I built years ago that are still holding strong ...my deck is 30 years or so and no problems. Of course I probably will hear I don’t know what I am talking about but I have 55 years in home building and home remodeling

[@brendap7696]

Those heavy grills, "Gave me a whoopin' " you crack me up. And I do agree with Paul that you need to get a back brace and something for your wrist as well

I burst out laughing when I saw the two grills standing side by side, anticipating your reaction. You did a good job getting them both in the van. No grill left behind!

The magazine rack you've had before just had a handle. This one was a side table. I would want it to paint in a shabby chiq style. Great for small spaces! The iron hanger holds a kerosene lamp.

Love all the decorative iron work ! So much stuff just gets pitched , kind of sad ! Love your videos , thanks for picking ! Peace🌸🌼🌻

[@marthacueva8574]

FYI people walk in the street, especially in pairs, because it’s really hard on knees and hips to walk on uneven sidewalks.

[@laurafifer4453]

What about, one walks behind the other? It's called consideration.

[@dianawalker4055]

I noice the sidewalks around the three towns you go to are in really bad shape - are they ever fixed??

[@jv-ep2tc]

that would not hold up in court as a response to a jaywalking ticket

[@deenasmusicbox]

As well as being a trip hazard

[@Mark.Watson]

Good point. I sometimes wish we has sidewalks in my neighborhood, but I never considered this issue.

[@myheartcries9906]

The one thing you said would hold a candle, would look amazing with a plant hanging on it on a porch. TFS

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Ponderosa steak house. The white jewelry box is old. My mom had the exact one!

[@raggedyann4372]

I have that white jewelry box, it’s from 1969 You can clean the mold with vinegar. I’ve seen them in resell it shops for $50-$60

[@signeknudsen8513]

I like to use alcohol for mold. It evaporates quickly

[@jean7282]

Taco, you can hang an oil lamp not a candle in the ornate cast iron wrought iron thing you found. Enjoy your trash picking and hard effort to clean up the earth!! All of your videos are fantastic! Stay safe and healthy! Peace!

That's still a pretty nice wooden jewelry box. I love that butterfly hose holder thing, it's so different than those bulky plastic ones that are so common today.

[@dawnsutherland3461]

I been watching your videos for a week and decided to subscribe, I'm 63,years old and I think it would be so much fun to go treasure hunting with you ,if I only lived closer,

That thing at 8:39 in the top of the box is antique Victorian lamp Holder usually there is a bracket that holds them my mom has two of them hanging up in her house

[@henrys3629]

My friend has a side business of repurposing stuff. He'd take every piece of furniture and hardware. Everything. We just don't find anything old on the west coast often enough.

[@tprotpro5250]

It’s not always someone throwing it in the trash so much as just not wanting to have it around the house anymore and leaving it on the curb for someone to take for free. That’s relatively common in our area.

[@cawierin411]

Ponderosa Steakhouse was a chain with steak and a fabulous salad bar. That cute wee side table just needs a good cleaning and some tung oil to make it happier if you sand it down. Beautiful piece. I am gonna watch Renee's Paper and Moose video next. She is such a sweetheart. Glad y'all are friends.

[@mountaingirl1797]

Erin Albright where was the table😱🤷🏼‍♀️... I missed it somehow ... thank you...🌸

[@lindagiorgio6058]

You need that butterfly hose holder thingy for the hose hooked to your new spigot. Love the video as always. Keep living the dream.

[@cassroberts6116]

Hey Taco! I think that table pictured here is a large book table, like a dictionary or someone's favorite large tome to reference! You really lucked out with the metals, decorative and for scrap. Good job today!

I have been binge watching your site love what you are doing tried doing something like that 45 years ago with aluminium cans and glass bottles but hauling expenses for the glass had me break even and aluminium was an up and down market. This was in the early 70's, My Dad and Step mom did flea markets in the late 70's when macrama was big and the sold cord and baby clothes. Keep living the dream. And again you look like the Miami Dolphins QB Josh rosen.

[@laurabarker2233]

Also on Lehigh Street.

[@patriciayauger9535]

Great day of picking Taco, that white jewelry box you found is old probably around 1940 or maybe in 1930th or 1950th. I have one almost like that one, but the one you found is nicer. Look that up on E bay, or were you look your prices up at. You maybe have found something worth some money. Thank you for your videos, you work so hard , have a great day, and hugs for Salsa.

Weber grills can last for years if taken care of and yes, they are heavy!

[@MikeZMonroe]

Absolutely.

[@hooper4581]

And they are easily rebuilt. I believe the red ones are older and supposedly highly in demand

[@KameraShy]

A neighbor just abandoned his Weber when they moved, all rusted out.

[@craig1974]

@@hooper4581 IDK about the color, but you are correct in the fact that older Weber Genesis gas grills are sought after for the quality, and parts availability. I suppose the red ones may give people the clue that they are vintage since that color was fairly popular. In reality most Genesis grills produced from 1985 to the early 2000's all are pretty good since the design was basically the same all those years. The ones with the open frame as featured in the video are the great ones. The ones with the closed frame with doors are junk because they are not as strong, and have rust issues.

Ponderosa Steakhouse in Texas was my very fav as a young person. Miss it. Nice video as always

[@pamelafox5882]

Not sure if you normally check, but always pull all the drawers out of everything, you can find some cool stuff or even$$$ sometimes. Washer and dryers and living room furniture as well as dresser's can bring more money and things left inside than the item itself is worth. I've also found$$ inside of books, magazines and coats and purses.

[@MattWolfe1019]

The name of the Steakhouse was Ponderosa. I miss that restaurant. That white rack that you found is a shoe rack. My mom used to have one just like it. I'm sure it could be used for other things also.

[@lyricwritertoo]

On my upcycle groups many show fabulous things left on the curb. I need to do a road trip to their areas. Here not allowed anyway. I think all cities should adopt this program where you live. A pre trash day where people can stack metals and things nicely sorted. They dont even sort at dump here now we moved rural in California which shocks me. In major cities we had 3 trash bins one for trash, yard and recycle. I thought a calif mandate. Wonder if they know small areas dont even do that? They could make money have a dump day and sort out the furniture and wood to reclaim and sell for low cost or go in for a fee first come or something!

[@jeanadamsick9854]

Taco, on thowe wooden chairs, wood the stake house be Pondarosa, the letter was a P on the backs of the chairs, correct? There use to be Ponderosa, steak house, here in Fl., I don't think there still around my area? Now that sm. black, metal stand, that you said, "you were actualy looking for one of those", would look very nice on your new deck! No, it's not a ballzie, candle holder, it was used to put a kerosene, lamp into the base of it & hung, for lighting.

I think there is one in FL on 192 in Kissimmee area. There was also one in Yonkers, NY, across from the Cross County shopping center.

Take your Ford to a truck stop that has a truck wash. They should let you run through, I took a 2 ton GMC truck through one. That GMC was about the same size. You can also call a RV sales or service business and tell them you are looking for a place to keep your van clean up for good appearances on KZbin. They should help you out. There are several Van Conversations that are built using the vans as the base. If all fails, find a scout troop, of church that has car washes and tell them that you want a van washed.
