Is Anyone Working Today?

[@dmorgan28]

What an awesome video Amy. I really enjoyed it all. 👍❤️

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

When I see an old house like that, I imagine all the events that took place in that home. The Christmas mornings, children's laughter, and all of the conversations that happened at the kitchen table. It sheltered life.

[@leroybullied7705]

When Amy said it's so sad that's what I thought.

[@peggyswander3744]

Sad, but interesting tour of the house. I'm glad someone wants the books.

[@fredlysgaard4699]

i love old farm houses and farms

[@Thomas-qc8bu]

Remember the great old memories of the good times. Awesome

[@dennniswebb7807]

Funny I said Jetsons allso .lol

[@coache3273]

Am I the only one that is thinking about Nikki and all the stuff she could’ve done with all that antique furniture. She would have a field day. She is truly miss. Please don’t get me wrong Jean Marie is awesome and a wonderful person for Chet. You can tell he is happy with her.

[@amysblessings]

You weren’t the only one…

[@userDominic_78]

Amy, glad you included Chet in the video again

[@tubeu28]

If available, let us know!!! Seriously!!!

[@DavidHines-wn5gf]

My in-laws house had a cistern, the water from that went to the hot water heater, didn’t smell,

[@kennethwiklund102]

Is that the house where Chet scared Dougo while he was up on a ladder

[@benbird2962]

That house looks like it would be great for the Fire department to practice putting out fires

[@sourpickles73]

Amy, I think you’re doing a great job with your videos. I think your videos are a good variety of everything that goes on around the farm that we normally wouldn’t see. The only thing I can say is maybe more videos like one a week or two week or maybe that just me being greedy😂 Hope you and the entire family have a great day

[@mattwilson9311]

Watching this made me think of Nikki. She would’ve had a field day with all the old furniture.

[@PitterPat123]

Bringing back good memories. ❤❤ Some of us are DD-double dippers. We dip on both channels!

[@AMJDG]

The bowl at the 5:45 mark is the Cheerio Kids - the 1960 version. The 1950 version, the kids had a messier hair styles. Ironic that they were cleaned up in the 1960's when the hippy movement was taking off and long, scraggly hair was coming into style...

[@henryfokkema6622]

Greatvideo old farm house brings back memories in canada

[@stevenatkinson2393]

I like the videos the way they are. They're always something different, and we never know what we're going to see. I do like the photos that you add to the videos. Great job on the editing. You've come a long way since the first video, Amy. I'm looking forward to many more.

[@amysblessings]

Cool, thanks ☺️

[@jeb3415]

In our 1870’s farmhouse and even my neighbors 1930’s farmhouse, we both had doors at the bottom of our steps, with 3 and 2 steps protruding into our dining rooms. Very steep staircases. Homes built by Germans in a German farming settlement, where the Lutheran church service was still spoken in German up to the 1950’s. All the farm houses on our road were oriented to get first morning light in the kitchens and in the summer kitchens. Thank you for the tour, Amy!

[@burtzorn4059]

If the foundation and structure are good it could be saved. I seen one that was vacant for 40 years and brought back. The only thing they did was tore the back end off and built a new kitchen, washer dryer room with a bathroom. Beautiful home now. Lots of sweet equity, but beautiful old home if that's your thing

[@tomr9509]

What you could do for content on your channel Amy is show more of what you do as a farm wife. I'm sure a lot goes on behind the scenes so to speak. I'm sure keeping Dougo in line is full time (lol) but what is entailed that you do as the wife of a farmer.

[@amysblessings]

Thank you for your input!

[@ianmckay1780]

Dougo is right, they do shed their old case and have to dry out their new shell. Thanks for the walk through the old farmhouse too. Might be a silly question, are the squirrels Grey or Red.

[@tomfrank6794]

Spent TOO MUCH TIME in old farm houses. Hauling water in from the pump house, heating it up on the kitchen stove, putting the water into a galvanized tub in front in front of the only source of heat which was in the living room and it was a oil burning stove like you showed. Mom washing clothes in a wringer washer with no change of water between loads. Whites first, then colors, then jeans, then dad's work clothes. Life on the farm.

[@Ham68229]

Chet needs to understand, back then, we as an older generation were tough, had to be, life was hard but a simple life regardless. Steps were steep back then to save space. Yes, there was code but the majority of codes weren't nearly as strict as they are today. If these old homes could talk... the stories they could tell. It's Amy's channel, she can video what she wants I'm sure we'll all just watch regardless. Spray the aphids before they get out of hand Dougo, save your crop, it's an investment, that's how you should look at it. Yes, they shed their "skin", get them before they spread like wild fire as my grand dad used to say. We used to hunt the squirrels, of course my grand dad used to eat them. Back then, as I said earlier, times were tough and when he was a kid, was taught, waste nothing unlike today's world we're we've become wasteful. Great video, cheers :)

[@amysblessings]

Thank you ☺️

[@BB-xx1ne]

nicole would have brought that chair and headboard home to refinish.

[@chipps1066]

Dougo,you need to wear a wide brimmed hat brother!

[@philipberry2704]

loved the old farmhouse lots of memories was made in that place My mom used to always have a calendar like that hanging up on the kitchen door Yep Amy always save any old or abandoned Bible!!!

[@rickrick7309]

I remember having a stove just like that in my mom an dad's house fuel oil

[@garygruneich1275]

My grandma had heater like that one

[@Keith_420]

Meet George Jetson. His boy ELROY. Daughter JUDY.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for the tour of the old house. Interesting. Time to spray the soybeans Dougo says. Short comments today. Thanks Amy. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@sammathias3498]

I would just Love to restore that house 😊

[@tubeu28]

That bed upstairs is called a Hired Mans Bed, and we want it !!!

[@amysblessings]

So we should not get rid of it!? Someone else said that’s what it was too.

[@tubeu28]

@@amysblessings let us know if you want us to come over and get the Hired Man's Bed? We certainly could meet up at public place, thx

[@tubeu28]

Is the Hired Man's bed available? I apologize for assuming it was...

[@daneclark3161]

The house really doesn’t look that bad. It needs some work but I’ve got one a lot worse. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gfmikols]

I was laughing at how well timed the guys hat removal and head scratching was. LOL

[@amysblessings]

I will have to re-watch it!

[@bradanderson1627]

Whatever you put out on video is great! I love the realism honesty it is what it is no ? Doug I think should go there so folks understand the truth of reality.🤷‍♂️ thanks all Brad

[@amysblessings]

Thanks 👍

[@Husker3435]

G’job all y’all, Dougo, whatever Amy wants you to film ya better film, and we’ll watch to keep you out of hot water 🤣😂🤣y’all take care and God Bless🇺🇸

[@1926mymy]

You people in the north , heated the air , so it was warmer down here In Nebraska

[@timbbldr]

Be careful with asbestos in those older homes.

[@willieb58]

That looked George and Jane Jetson on those bowls! Bet those are worth a buck or two to the right collector.

[@amysblessings]

I thought so too!

[@bethknapp2736]

​@@amysblessingsthat wasn't the jetsons unless they were different looking then what I remember from the tv series

[@sourpickles73]

That bowl was definitely from the Jetsons

[@scottholbert2742]

That porcelain heater down stairs (brown) doubt it would worf but ive seen them guted and repurpused as a hidding place for liquor, books ,smaller things that you collect by dont have a place for . They are even with the chimney piping up against the wall to look like its real. Conversation piece so to say. Videos, what ever you want , they are always enjoyable

[@RobertLee-t7j]

I Think the picture of those kids in the bowl are vintage cherrios kids

[@reneetibbetts4813]

Amy and Dougo and Chet, interesting house. I cant believe that it was left fully furnished. I wonder why? You can always find interesting things in them okd houses some good and some not so good. I bet it was Beautiful at one time, and i bet fully occupied by all them beds, but you know farmers had lots of kids back in those days. Dougo you did just fine showing the feild and your explanation i could see what you were talking about. I kearned something today. OMG the squirrel in your neck of the woods are already hoarding acorns away? It looked like storm or wind damage in your yard. I wonder if nature knows something we dont about our winter ahead 😱

[@denault3985]

Looks like the Larson's are investigating a spooky haunted farmhouse, and should be torn down before someone gets hurt. Since the excavator was there, I wonder if this old house was torn down yet?

[@40yeartrucker25]

That Jungers oil stove is the bast oil stove.

[@pgrafton]

I grew up in an old farmhouse in WI, Amy. 25 minutes from the Capitol. We had a cistern, a pump handle on our kitchen sink to get water from it. We also had a pump handle on our well and had to pump a long time to fill the cistern. We didn't have flush toilets and used a two holer 100 yards from the house. We lived that way for years until we bought a well pump and pressure tank. I was born in 1968 so about the same age.

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video Amy. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@scottmaass4329]

That must be the land Chet bought to build their new home

[@tomhill4765]

What is your daytime job Amy? What is the greater story of the abandoned fram house?

[@DeeLars-r1o]

Amy- I have more information on that house from about 1946-1958. My parents and family lived there. I'd be interested knowing if any attic books had my family name on them. I was only 2 when we moved, but older brother remembers when wallpaper was put on. I don't know how to PM you, if you'd be interested.

[@tallboy49]

Those old houses remind me of the good old days when everything went at a slower pace and big government was unheard of. We were free to do our own thing without interference from authorities.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Awesome video of the old house!!

[@ProudPapaw88]

Amy, you do an amazing job with your videos. Something new every time. Keep up the great work and I wouldn’t change a thing about what you do or how you do it. I get a blessing from them all. Great video. Thanks for sharing and you guys have a great upcoming weekend!!

[@amysblessings]

Thank you, Proud Papa!

[@andrewhalenza5773]

You want to watch you

[@SusanKennedy-t5c]

We would to come up to your area to purchase some land and maybe with a cabin. Trying to sell our home in FL and get an RV. We would never just show up,just thought you might have some suggested areas. 0:45

[@aaronberger6399]

At 3:40... Chet thinking 'Yep, thats a mouse!'

[@amysblessings]

I am so thrilled that it got on the footage. I didn’t see it when I edited. Wow! There it was. I can’t believe he didn’t squeal!

[@garyberg]

I'm thinking back in the 80's they probably had a farm auction where everything had to go so when it was done, they jumped in their pickup and just left. Nothing to stick around for.

[@rwisti11301962]

Most of that old furniture is resellable and very collectible. You'd be surprised how much money you could make.

[@TheGrapeape34]

If you put about a 10 to 15 inch wide piece of tin around the whole tree squirrels can climb the tree. They use them in parks around here.

[@Winger2325]

The cereal bowl was the Cheerios Kids, I had one. Thought I saw one on eBay for 30 dollars. Lots of nostalgia.

[@tonybrenny3845]

You guys should bring that little boy from the south up to your farm you know which little boy it is he's famous on KZbin

[@rebelbullhauler]

In Oklahoma we have sugar cane aphids that get in the milo and you have to spray it like covering everything in syrup and it will gum up a combine or a swather can’t bale it

[@fastdadd1958]

Well im old enough and remember having to go into the systern and scrub it out with a bleach dilution to make it clean. Helped friends do theirs as well. The good ole days.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. That old house holds many memories. The open Bible shows it was a good home. It is like whomever lived there must have passed and it was.all just.left there. :(

[@philipstreechon4523]

Wrap chicken wire around the oak tree one above the outer and connect them to an electric fence shock box it works I did it they get zapped maybe twice and do not return,

[@caleycheney181]

My parents still live in a 3500 square foot house built in 1896 by our ancestors!! It had a cistern that collapsed and we had a huge sinkhole in our backyard. We had to fill them with the rocks from the farm and then dirt. They bought the house in 1981 the year I was born so they’ve lived there since I was born!

[@caleycheney181]

It’s a shabby chic Victorian house

[@caleycheney181]

The garage actually was a barn that they used to house horses cause back in the day. That’s all they had for transportation, and the Haymount is still there also now use for storage

[@amysblessings]

Cool!

[@Showboat_Six]

Who moves out of their house and then leaves everything there when they leave?

[@amysblessings]

It’s quite common out here. Very weird.

[@NordicGirl2]

Most times the owners died with no one to inherit. Most of the old places around my grandparents place were the same way. The kids either passed away before the folks or the places were owned by bachelor farmers. Pretty common in Minnesota.

[@dougvinduska9593]

That old house looks like my wife's gramps Adolph Busch on Busch Rd outside Alexandria.

[@ardellwatry7067]

Sorry I was overrun with squirrels, about 18 of them diapered if ya know what I mean, sorry. Digging in my yard, Always bring walnuts and I have no walnut tree.

[@steveb4592]

I would like to see a follow up video on the Bible and the books that were found. What are you going to do with the Bible and books? What page was the Bible open to? Good video! 🙏🏼

[@bethknapp2736]

More family time videos. Also love when you do some encouragement from the bible.

[@boydbauer7714]

Amy. The kids in the cereal bowl were mascot for cheerios back in the late 60’s to early 70’s.

[@kevinklingner7712]

About the white dander of aphids it is as you said it is their skelton . They are like crabs and regularly do that.

[@sallydunbar1683]

Interesting house! Wierd that it looks like they just left one day and didn't return. Brought back many fond memories of the house I grew up in for 14 years. Thanks for education on the aphids, Dougo. It's good to see your channel growing. Always enjoy Chet & his input. 😊

[@bronco797]

I see an old farm house near my place with a nice front porch and big trees. I think about all the holidays and kids in the yard and family events that went on there over the years.

[@leecurry7036]

My grandpa had a cistern and I remember scrubbing it out

[@SteveSweaney-k1t]

I enjoy learning the different aspects of farming on either channel. Wish I could find an old farmhouse I could afford to restore.

[@georgebeard6886]

Don’t worry Amy we had three sets of bunk beds in one bedroom for us boys to sleep in. I am number 7 of ten kids

[@georgebeard6886]

Anyone understand a farmer could win the lottery and be broke in two years

[@Deadeye-zr2kb]

I love to see and go through old houses it so interesting to see we grew up on cistern water and like someone said we had a valve to switch between so thanks Chet and Dougo for making me think about it but we survived just dont know how 🤣😂

[@jimtrewartha2594]

What I remember about the cisterin was there was a valve in the downspout leading to the cisterin, and you diverted the first water away until the roof was "clean" then you switched it to run the into the cisterin.

[@3gasman]

Don’t let those squirrels find your patio furniture. I’ve heard the red squirrels love chewing on the composite materials used in todays lawn furniture

[@memy66]

They were called floor model TV's. I didn't know if anyone else seen the mose besides Chett & me. I didn't think he was going to acknowledge it.

[@andrewterry8092]

Console TV's.

[@reneetibbetts4813]

I always knew them as console tvs, not sure on spelling. But floor model sounds good too. I have no clue, that's what ours we had in the 70- 80s we called them.
