Cleaning out a Hoarder's House | Tiny House Renovation Phase 1: Cleanup

Well, I finally did it: I completed the first step in the COMPLETE OVERHAUL of my tiny house in the desert. Most of you probably remember the walkthrough I did with my brother on his channel but, if not, here's the link: • We bought a house from...
If you watched that video then you know what you're in for; if not... well, there's a reason that we "affectionately" call it the Poophouse. The house and property have been abandoned for 5-10 years with only the rats and squatters to keep it company. Some time ago, even the rats abandoned it. My ultimate plan is to make it inhabitable but I'll just be taking it one slow step at a time because, quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing. BUT, I do know that the next step is demolition so, if rat poo isn't your thing, maybe the next video will strike your fancy.

I didn't expect to be in my feelings, but I was lowkey touched by the bit where you found the lid to the toilet tank, brushed it off, and put it back. Maybe there wasn't any emotional force behind it, but in a way, you humanized the situation. It's not a dump, it was a home. Somebody lived there, and probably died there, and these are their things. Sure, it's mostly trash now, but watching you do little things like take the sheets off the bed makes me wonder if this is, in a way, giving closure to the previous owner (who presumably is dead, or long gone).

[@allypally1768]

I was wondering who could have possibly lived like that, and then I saw the army diploma and aaah of course it's a veteran, and then it just felt sad cause so many end up with severe mental illness moving to the woods or desert :(

Honestly...spent my entire life cleaning up after my mom who I then found out had early on set dementia mixed with manic depression. She's an amazing woman/badass..but I could never figure out why we had to live the way we did....Life can do things to the most beautiful creative and lovingly sensitive people on the Earth! We have to strengthen and protect our sensitive people! They prize things beyond the material. They don't understand the "machine". THEY ARE PURE GOLD AND NEED TO BE SEEN AS SUCH! I'm not saying baby them or anything....just notice a sensitive person when you see them and invigorate them rather than exhaust them! Fast forward from my confused adolescents years to middle late 20's...I'm a full time cleaner now and REALLY enjoy making spaces feel welcoming! There is so much behind the mind and our internal as well as external presence that shows where we are at in life...I love giving people a chance. Even if they aren't able to keep it up to the standard you left it...even if you have to keep coming back to help them feel human again. The feeling of love is so rewarding...the feeling of trying to give someone a space that is respectable and loving whether they are aware of it or not is just SO REWARDING!

I got into a car accident a long time ago and now can't hardly lift a book. My cleaning lady, well, you have no idea, you can't imagine, how much she means to me. She is honest (I had a lady from the Punjab, I think she had just grown up with different values who broke my heart what she stole.) And my lady now is good-natured and she leaves my places just so happy-making. I think we ought to bang some pans for cleaners too.

[@gabie8075]

Even if you aren't a horder it kind of puts into perspective how much of your stuff will in reality be mostly thrown away or donated. A lot of things we keep are only valuble to us and someone else will probably just throw it away once we are gone. It has motivated me to only keep things I really love and not let stuff and things burden me because in reality I'm the only one attached to those things and I shouldn't have to feel bad about letting things go of things that no longer serve a purpose.

[@spencerbrown6214]

[@robstone3002]

I'm a general contractor in california and every few months I do some work for a client who works with family trusts after an elder has deceased/gone into a home. I get called in whenever there is a hoarder and they need some dumping done as well as minor repairs to get the house in sellable condition. Usually my client and her helpers do all of the bagging/cleaning and we just take it to the thrift store and dump. Last year we had an INSANE job in a multimillion dollar home, absolutely packed to the gills with trash and possessions. We estimated about 20,000 magazines were hauled away. There was just about every item that had been offered on QVC from the 90s-00s in boxes. We went through 18 40 yard trailers of just trash, I don't even remember how many trailers of thrift store runs. Was about 4 months of work. This is giving me bad flashbacks lol!

[@michaelmullin3585]

During Katrina, a family donated 25 trash bags of clothing that had belonged to their grandmother. She was old, very, very obese, and she did nothing but order clothes from off the TV. As it turned out, the clothes were in excellent shape and we served numbers of very obese women from Louisiana who ran from the hurricane at the last minute with nothing.

I hope those books -especially the old crafting books - went to the equivalent of a charity shop over there; there's a lot of people who love doing vintage craft projects! It's a weird niche, but one where we love getting old craft books even if they're a bit natty. There's probably people who'll buy some of the vintage adverts he collected online, too - not my thing, but I see stuff like that on eBay sometimes. Of course, just listing anything possibly collectable/sell-able on eBay would probably take forever! I think there's curio collectors who'd like the eye-chart... At least in some of the metal trash there's the raw materials to upcycle it into something nice.

[@claudettetooley]

[@glittalogik]

In case anyone's curious like me, I googled the name on the American Legion certificate (Joaquin Ayala) and found an obituary from March of this year, so my guess is the Uyedas picked this up via a deceased estate sale or similar. If it's the same guy then I assume he bailed on the property years ago to go live with family, and the obit sounded like he was well-loved, so there's that.

[@belssage]

Thank you for your research. My heart was breaking.

[@lulubellecataloni5605]

[@garymucher9590]

I have to say this was intriguing to watch. So many items you removed that could easily make it to the homeless shelters. The pots/pans and all the clothes and such can easily be cleaned, sanitized and really needy people would love to receive any of it. Books, paper recycled, even the appliances can be reworked, cleaned, sanitized and used again. Sure they are not new modern versions. But some people would still love to get them for their use... Thumbs Up!

[@danapertile106]

Good job. Personally, I would light a match because of all the mold everywhere. You don't know how deep it goes, maybe right into the structure itself. There may still be some mold left even though you can't see it and you think you got rid of it. So you will paint over the walls or put some wallpaper over it - and you will breathe it for years. It is really dangerous.

[@JoeMcFarlanesgoogle]

Couldn't agree more. For only 700 Sq ft on such a huge lot, it seems much quicker to just tear it down and get to rebuild exactly what you want since you're gonna go all the way down to studs anyway

[@vee7330]

You can always combat this by soaking certain areas with some mold spray, paint over it with a special primer that contains particles like mold spores, and have frequent ozium treatments (it basically zaps all the "bad" ions in the air, which also kills of bacteria, mold, and odor particles). It definitely doesn't help with mold in the structure but it's a pretty good way to deal with it short term.

To everyone saying that this isn't a hoarder's house, Hoarding Disorder (it's an actual medical disorder) does generally present itself with mass gathering and keeping of trash and unused/unusable things, but large volume is not the only sign. Some of the other key indicators are: -Unusable beds/furniture due to clutter -Objects and trash filling sinks and bathtubs -Dirty food preparation surfaces -Not cleaning rodent/pest droppings/nests -Misplacing important items/documents in clutter All of this is displayed in this house.

You are an amazingly energetic person whom cleans like a boss. Just a thought, the house you are cleaning dose not appear to be a Hoarder's house. It is a house which the person has no self worth, not necessarily someone whom has a fear of loss. Basically Filth dose not equal hoarder, hoarding is a mental illness and should not be linked to occasions it is not the cause of but YES sometimes hoarders do end up living in filth which is very sad.

Can’t quite fathom how much work this was for you and you did it so respectfully. Loved all the editing and fourth wall breaks. Subscribed, love your personality and your creativeness. Perfect relaxing watch. Go and get it lady

[@ceramichael8155]

idk y but im in luv with the way this was filmed and edited. and she is very charismatic. new fav channel

[@jennifersvitko5997]

Please be careful with all that black mold everywhere. That stuff can kill you (not to mention what lurks in the rat poo).

This is just a messy home, nothing like a hoarders. I cleared a hoarder home that was piled 6 feet high throughout, with only one narrow path leading from the basement to one of two sofas that was only stacked on either end with food waste and wrappings about. This was a 3 story home with no access to the third floor, as the stairs were blocked and packed under 5-6 feet of debris. peace

Yeah, more like an older person who just had a little too much clutter they couldn't cope with that then got trashed alongside a severe rat/mouse problem. I've notice older people hanging on to stuff because they fear they can't get it again but it's not the same as hoarding which I've unfortunately seen up close more than once.

Absolutely love this video! "Happened upon" your channel and this video brought back so much memories as I did this type of clean out work for almost 7 years. It was hot, dirty, infested, and unlivable to say the least, but I always tried to remember, someone lived in this house once which helped me not to be disrespectful of items of importance! The satisfaction at the end of the clean out was pure joy! I'm excited to see more of your videos; love your energy and vision! Aloha from the 50th State! 🤙 -Luka

[@waterwitch8902]

I find this type of video very satisfying because I love decluttering. Music at first was ok but love the smooth jazz.

That claw foot tub is worth a big chunk of cash if restored. Besides the gun, everything else looked like junk.

[@massabielle2821]

To those commenting about “good stuff” being thrown out, please! This is not a home that you would want to share the items as you don’t know what’s been in contact with any of it. For example, you find an old pan, you have no idea what it could have been used for, or what was ever kept within. And definitely NOTHING from a bathroom.......eee-oooo! I wouldn’t want some poor soul to be affected by anything that could have any harmful past to it. Really......think about it.

[@PharcideOnline]

Bless your soul. I just had to do something like this. And I gotta say I don't think I have ever been this stressed with anxiety in my life. You did this like a champ.

[@amberoftheroad7473]

Jess this helped me find the guts to get my own hoarded house. Seriously, watching your videos was great mental prep for the work - thanks for showing everything!

[@arlynecantrell4268]

You are so smart to cut the carpet into strips, most people roll up the whole carpet and wrestle with it!!!

[@kenzie9140]

wait ppl dont cut it up into strips???

[@arlynecantrell4268]

Why?

[@tanyajaealva]

this was so satisfying! cant wait for the next parts ❤ i just hope some of the stuff can still be of use and be recycled or sold

[@rogerzollner3747]

Totally love your videos! I love and miss doing small renovations like this. If I didn't live on the east coast I'd totally be offering to volunteer to help you just because I enjoy that type of work so much! And you of course have the fun personality with the work type attitude! Definitely looking forward to seeing the next goals in your project!! Keep it up, all the hard work will not only be worth it, but will leave you with life lessons and memories you'll always look back on!

[@smokedavocados]

loved the editing when the music beats and the cuts are perfectly timed

[@dora_the_dstroya8424]

I hope your keeping that bathtub. They don't makes tubs like that anymore and they last many lifetimes if taken care of properly. Love all the vintage stuff. Hope maybe you can reuse some of the stuff like that stove was awesome.

[@kiranmahilange9]

I'm disappointed that they didn't share the background story. Like how did this house end up like this. What happened to the owner. What are they going to do with all the stuff....

[@lindacowles756]

G'day, kiranmahilange9! Other channels like Midwest Magic Cleaning and Aurikatariina tell about the homeowners' situations and stories.

[@roxannerandle9155]

WHAT A FIND! THE ART & INTERESTING PIECES TO CREATE WITH! THE DRAWINGS WOULD LOOK AWESOME FRAMED!😍

[@lauracrawford6486]

I watched all your videos today, and I am blown away! You are a scrappy gal and I applaud you and what you are doing! It has motivated this old lady to get off her butt and clean out her spaces. Keep up the good work and I love Gary and the little house you made for him. Happy New Year to you and Gary. 🥰😎🥳🥳🥳
