I love the ties. I could wash them up and cut them up and use them for quilting.

[@homerth1555]

Okay, that bathroom was disgusting.

[@kaylawiklanski6796]

That's not bad compared to the show Hoarders. That's barely anything, probably just started to be a hoarder. I have cringed and been sickened to see what this mental health issue causes people to live like. There are many you feel bad for because they don't see it as an issue and it's completely normal in their mind.

[@houstonka]

Houses like this just break my heart. I always think what happen to people that lived there. I hope they are not suffering on this world anymore.

[@asterix7842]

Don't assume they're suffering. My mom's house is like this. She claims it's from growing up during the great depression and WWII and learning not to throw anything away.

The army jacket with the honor Guard tab is for someone who served in the 2nd Logistics Command, this unit served mostly in Okinawa. Depending on the time period the rank is either for a Specialist 3 or Specialist 4, going by the uniform most likely Spec 4.

[@richellewray9189]

Oh boy. With the mold and mice, there’s no way I’d want to clear that place out. Be safe.

[@ARTURSIRBE1]

Alex on the Curiosity Inc. KZbin channel just finished a hoarder house that I'm assuming belonged to the former owners of an Antique Shop. Awesome treasures were found. Good luck hunting the goodies in this house, Renee.

[@carolynandjerry5184]

I love his channel! I watched it too! That was the cleanest hoard I've ever seen!

[@kaydefreese7586]

Keep plenty of gloves, masks and Benadryl on hand as you help clean out this hoard. I hope you find some good treasure. Can't wait to see more of this house. I love watching the youtubers who clean out hoarder houses. One of my favorites is Alex's channel Curiosity Inc.

[@reedeux7818]

As far as being a hoarder's house, it really wasn't that bad. As an urbex video, that was one fascinating house. Especially the old icebox, built into the wall. Would love to hear some backstory on it. Great video Cheers

I see a few dumpster loads coming. Still, looks like fun! I always wanted to be an archaeologist, but I think this kinda thing is as close as I could get! :-)

I can't wait! This house is a mix of awesome and discussing. I hope you did not find ANY critters, alive or dead! Some houses are so bad you can not see the floor at all! Please do use gloves at all times, at the very least you could get an infection from a cut or scratch! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤

We found a few mice skeletons! No alive creatures, yet!

[@sandymcgill1910]

Oh, gee.. so 80's.. I used to have some of that kind of stuff.. back in the 80's.

[@nerdygoth6905]

This was so lovely to see, for two reasons. 1) you and Taco are clearly peas in a pod with your zest for adventure and finding treasure. 2) I'm subscribed to Spaulding Decomp, and when they do hoard clearing they're instructed to throw everything/nearly everything. Sometimes they don't get a choice because of bio. So it's really nice to see you get a chance to go through looking at somebody else's treasures. Looking forward to part two, which in itself is an unexpected bonus.

[@maryaddington9835]

WOW! This is an amazing pick! Good for you and Tony. I’m looking forward to more from this job. The Angel print at the beginning I believe is what’s termed a “rubbing”. Many were done in churchyards and the like. The WWII POSTERS are to die for. Keep up great work! 🕷💥🥳

[@PaperandMoose]

Rubbing, that's what it's called! Thanks!

[@JennyA1961]

Wowsers, you've got your hands full with this one. Can't wait to see what else you're going to find.❤🐨

How do you decide who gets to keep what? The posters were a great surprise! Can’t wait for the next episode. PS - glad to see you wearing a mask.

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

WOWSERS Renee. This is going to be the most unbelievable pick of the century. I can not believe you found the poster. The Red Cross one is awesome. God Bless you Renee and your friend. On to the next video. See you soon. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@judywho2249]

Yeah to awesome things!

[@aprilfool8329]

I laughed when you said you were in the "junk room" because to me every room in that house could be called that. For your and Tony's sake, I am glad that this is just a pick and not a cleanout because it looks like there is a lot of nasty stuff in that house that could make you sick. But there also appears to be a lot of great finds in amongst the junk so I can't wait to see what treasures you two discover!

[@Buzz1151]

Those posters were great....You might have to wear those coveralls while digging in that hoard. Let's hope you can find an old radio in there somewhere! 😜

[@PaperandMoose]

You know what Buzz, not one old radio in that house! They are all the plug-in 1980s Sears varieties.

[@SassySue67]

So sad to think someone lived like that. I know you said that no one had lived there for a number of years but I would guess the last person who did was in a bad way for it to get that hoarded. Hope you can find some real treasures but I suppose there will be several dumpster loads as well.

[@jackiluttrell5891]

Should not have watched this while eating lunch😂. Good luck!!

some of the walls were pretty painted and those giant posters signs so cool

[@hhall3533]

Wow! Pretty sure my weak stomach could not handle that!

[@julied6322]

I just found your channel and you have a new subscriber. I love those urban explorers' channels but every time I watch them I'm like, "Someone needs to save those things", like certain knick knacks, china, old kitchen utensils and/or appliances, etc. You've just scratched that itch. I'm so glad you are doing this. The other videos you have look very interesting also and I will be bingeing.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thanks for stopping by! I also watch urban explorers and feel the same way but understand their motto/intentions of taking nothing & leaving nothing. Though it does hurt my heart to see what things have been left behind! I have a playlist of some of my other clean outs, so enjoy!

[@jsmith5612]

It's going to be fun

[@TheVideoGamesHistorian]

This strikes me more of a person becoming frail and unable to cope than hoarding.

[@deborahfogel3689]

Glad you guys got it. This is going to be fun! keep masks close and gloves on. Enjoy!!!! Love yuns! smooch hugs and prayers always

[@fareast_de]

Happy days are here again...this channel never disappoints, thanks to Renée and Tony ! Sad to see that this was a very neat home a couple of years ago. Now it´s a typical hoarders location. Time to wear constantly a mask during this job, Renée, I can smell the mold in the air ! 😱 Very nice first finds on these WW I /II posters, if they are originals and not reprints. Can´t wait to see episode No. 2 of this expedition ! Greets from GER, U.

[@PaperandMoose]

Original posters! The Uncle Sam one is my favorite, haven't been able to find another one like it (from the quick research that I did). I'm bringing my better mask the next time we go for more picking!

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose This means big buck ! Interesting to take a look at the "red series". The Japanese guy is not emperor Hirohito or General Tojo, but admiral Yamamoto who commanded the attack on Pearl Harbour. This could be an indicator for an early print from 1941/42.

[@aileenhaggarty681]

So looking forward to this clear out Renee. 👍Aileen

[@papabear2515]

I strongly encourage you wear a mask and gloves. The mice droppings and mold are bound to be there in abundance - and one doesn’t want to risk the possible repercussions of those toxins. Hope you find more treasures you love.

[@nascarmommam5915]

Hurrah y’all got the house to pick. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Hoarding is such a disease it’s so sad. My mother-in-law is pretty close to this and I have learned that it actually happened once her mother passed away. I’m not really sure why that would cause holding on to things but I guess that loss was too traumatic. ?? Your house looks fairly good compared to the one I’m watching on Curiosity Inc. he’s in Canada it’s bad. ~ Texas

[@PaperandMoose]

It is a sad situation. Even if one wants to help, the mindset of the hoarder sometimes cannot be changed.

[@Nwladylaura369]

I cleaned out my family’s hoarder house. It was a disaster! It took a toll on me physically. Be glad just to be a picker! That’s where the fun is.

[@asterix7842]

Wow, I wish I were there. Looks like a lot of great flea market material. Except for the WWII posters and uniforms, it reminds me a lot of my mom's house. She always insisted that it came from growing up during the great depression and WWII and learning not to throw anything away. I think when she does pass away, I'll have to spend months going through everything.

[@kimberlymolitor354]

So nice to see the posters were kept covered with plastic. Great to see them just before Veterans Day!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@gregsmith7428]

Some of those war posters if original & in decent condition are worth $$$!

[@PaperandMoose]

All original, for sure!

[@woofer1992]

I love your videos. I watch every day. Seeing the stacks of old newspapers in this house reminded me of a recent purchase my son made at a picker's mall. He found old colored comic strips that came in the Sunday paper. He found half page ones of Dick Tracy for sale for $7.95. These were from the 1940's but thought you might check among those in that house to see the dates and if there were Sunday comics. I think they are becoming collectable since most printed newspapers don't exist anymore. Just a thought.

[@PaperandMoose]

I think the newspapers here are from the 1990s and 2000s. Wonder if any of the coupons are still good? Haha :0)

[@bobwright9523]

Totally amazing place. Must admit though as I'm watching i'm wrinkling my nose at the probable smell ! Greetings from Kent in the UK. Those posters !!!

[@nerdygoth6905]

Hey fellow UK person! Whereabouts in Kent? I started off there but now live in Birmingham.

[@cherylross2718]

Hi, the best investment I made last winter was an Ororo heated vest. I work outside a lot, I wore it with a longer very lightweight jacket on top, and was toasty all winter. Go to their website, they have flash sales all the time. If you wear a med. size jacket, buy a small vest. The posters are amazing, tfs.

[@idclare3453]

You look so rested.! 💃

[@amyweaver7413]

Interesting to just pick through but not be responsible for the clean up! I can’t wait to see what you save from this house.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank goodness we do not have to do this clean out! It would be costly and not really worth it for the homeowner, as cleaning it out wouldn't add any value to the home for reselling. It most likely has to be either a complete gut or torn down.

[@catsgallery3864]

Exciting!

[@lindabonecutter6952]

Hey Renee I don't know if it was you that I mentioned this to in the past. But it is a Good Idea to go through the newspapers. There could possibly be money in them. My Dad knew a guy that hid his cash in his stacks of newspapers. His reason was so if anyone broke into his house they most likely wouldn't find it. So of course when he died, Dad told the family.

[@jackiechapman8189]

That's a huge jackpot finding all the WW1 & WW2 War bond and Propaganda posters..😲😍 There's some beautiful prints and very desirable subject matter on all of these.. I love them all Rene.. Can't wait to see what the next big find will be..🤓 Take care always..👍💕🔥⚾🤙

😭😭😭 Sad that this house was so neglected. Is it possible that the owner couldn't keep up with the maintenance because she/he had not only mental issues but physical as well making it difficult?

[@PaperandMoose]

We think old age plus physical problems led to it being this way. It also has been unoccupied for some time, so that adds to the dust, mold, & dirt.

[@carolmankin7069]

Hoarding is such a tragedy...in this case I wonder about the cognitive stability of the homeowner. They may have just reached a point of such mental decline, whereas they may have been more mentally stable in earlier years, and could better keep things under control. The soiled tissues in the bathroom...so sad, it breaks my heart for the resident of that home...perhaps waterlines fell into disrepair years ago and then they just had the water shutoff. I do love the vintage posters, BTW, ....looking forward to your next video to see what treasures you have found. Got Bless 💕

[@PaperandMoose]

Hoarding is awful. Family can want to help all they want, but sometimes the help is turned away and/or it can cause splits in relationships. In this case, I think it was decline due to older age and finally they were able to be removed from the home and put into a better living situation.

Speaking of things fridggy...love that vintage oak ice box...looks like one we had in a small cabin my folks purchased...we actually used it...of course...I remember it as a little guy. When the old cabin was torn down to make way for the new house...the ice box was sold off to a friend of dad's. Up those creaky stairs to see a "water closet" very similar to the one in my bathroom, even as to the color! It's truly amazing how all that stuff accumulates!! Those clothes might just disintegrate in washing or cleaning them...when I was involved in cleanouts, we just pitched all the old clothes, bedding and such. Those posters are probably from the American Nazi Party, and the Japanese supporters...don't forget the Italians! My paternal grand dad had to register as an American Citizen, being he was from Germany. He carried a special I.D. card. There were illegal German and Italian, as well as Japanese spies, infiltrating the country...mostly scare tactics by the government. That's why the Japanese Americans faced those so called detention centers, in reality prisons. Couple of the posters look like reproductions from the WW I era. Better than a dead homo sapiens! you'll have quite an adventure in that domicile!
