Part 4. Ghost town shelves get a new life! General Store

[@briannat2011]

Shelves look so much better ! Big fan of the open windows

[@connieh.4689]

100% Agree!!….

[@emmitstewart1921]

I think having the openings for the windows and the clock/cabinet opening looks better because they break up the straight lines of the shelves.

[@goldbunny1973]

Me too, you need natural light plus it reduces your Electricity Bill : ) she wrote, sitting in. slightly dark bulb-lit room, lol.

[@Pauldjreadman]

When I saw the outcry on the last video I knew Alex would change it. 90% of the comments was “Don’t put the shelves over the windows”

[@goldbunny1973]

Fortunately he's smart enough to take good advice when he sees it, even when it's tendered by a minority of viewers. Good Call on leaving the lovely windows exposed,

[@cynthiabohli-nelson1824]

Josh & Jakota did a great job with the shelving. I love that you're using the old clock case as a cabinet for vintage timepieces.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Cynthia Bohli-Nelson Love that old clock cabinet. The added shelves are a wonderful idea. Just such a fun series to watch.

[@rabczanska]

Maybe make the shelves glass instead and add a light hidden up in the top.

[@judyy3827]

@@rabczanska Was just thinking the same thing. I thought that's what he was going to do in the first place. Just seemed so logical.

[@joanne_luvsdisney534]

You need one those old ladders on rollers so you can reach things on the top shelves

[@Ichthus61]

Great idea!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

I am bringing one from our current store :)

[@retrobebop61]

Fabulous idea!

[@jiml7401]

Yes a ladder on rails seems ideal...?

[@Syzygy629]

💘💘💘💘!Yaaaasss!

[@henrycho2431]

Alex, it is so refreshing that you have high emotional intelligence. 99.9% of the time your vision is spot on, but you decided to listen to Josh and all of your followers and NOT block the windows. That is a mark of a great leader. You are making the right decision, it's more work on the front end, but it's professional. I can't wait to visit and spend money there!!! IT LOOKS SOOOO GOOD!

[@monicabautista5196]

everybody wants to rule the world

[@holliglendenning3149]

That’s such a cool picture that the neighbors brought you! I love thoughtful people!

[@m0L3ify]

Yay! He listened to us about the windows! We helped! 😁

[@elizabethbeatty8983]

Yes we did!!! LOL!!! 😂

[@gnubaum9768]

wow the shelves are gorgeous. thank you for listening to literally everyone and not covering the windows with shelves.

[@Cate7451]

It's pretty funny really. But why we tune in!

[@Siansonea]

I love what Josh and Jakota did with the shelves. Looks like it was always meant to be this way. It will look really good once all the wood is oiled up and the shelves are staged with treasures. Loving this series so far.

[@Cutelatinguy2]

My thoughts exactly. I was cringing in the previous videos when he was thinking of just leaving them as is and covering the windows. LOL I get the excitement but things like that, especially when its a more permanent fixture like shelving needs to have more thought put into it. They came out GREAT!

[@blip-2024]

I Love that Mary's portrait is with you on your new adventure.

[@myowndrum286]

Just saw it myself too!

[@erinkarpinec3678]

I didn't see the video? Did I miss something?

[@myowndrum286]

@@erinkarpinec3678 e were happy to see Mary's portrait that Josh painted already at the store. But After watching the whole video, I noticed at 35:43, what looks like an orb float down in front of Josh. I don't think it's a bug. I think it's a visiting soul. I'm from the Edmonton area and know this beautiful area quite well. Plenty of old history there in our city.

[@maps5622]

@@myowndrum286 I saw something at 35:15 but screen is black at the time you posted....I would bet more on dust and Jakota was swatting a bug earlier...

[@flossblueberry1262]

Exactly what I was going to say!!

[@juliebaker6969]

I noticed that the top shelf in the watch cabinet doesn't show when the door is closed. I was thinking that if you put hooks on that shelf you could use it to hang pocket watches from so that they hang down where they can be seen through the glass. They could hang up above what is sitting on the next shelf down.

[@karenmcisaac22]

The shelves look so much better with the windows cut out

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

The shelves look like they were designed for the location; I guess they sort of were. ;)

[@paolablanco5832]

yes! thanks for that!

[@kikihammond5326]

The grain bins would be awesome to put antique linens in that you are selling. Leave ajar with a linen peeking out and folks will dig through to find table clothes, aprons, etc.

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

Or loose legos, plastic cowboy, army men, etc., & other smalls that won't get messed up when customers look through them

[@deb8377]

LOVE that you did not cover the windows! This set up looks planned rather than if you covered windows,it may have looked thrown together. Much more inviting this way! You all did a great job! Deb in GA. USA

[@Bibliophyllida]

I love watching this team. Just professional enough to get the job done, fun and laid back. Would watch these guys do pretty much any project! Slats! That's it!

[@debbiehogan5443]

I love the shelves. I was worried it would be really difficult to get them straight but Josh and Jakota to the resque. They do an amazing job. Love you all bunches!

[@orchidsixtyfour]

The experience of watching these videos is so much the better because you have people working with you who are comfortable with being filmed and who have their own personalities and charisma which come across in the videos. This is a big part of what makes "Team Curiosity" so special.

[@leandabee]

Well there you are, the 3 Handsome amigos. 💖😀😀

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

So great to see you all working and brainstorming together again.

[@Kaffeeteria]

I love Jakota's Chief shirt. :)

[@lisalulu1832]

Yes on the shelves! Looks so much better than blocking the windows.

[@saltandpepper986]

You did the right thing, Alex. Those shelves still look fab as do the windows. Better feng shui hopefully better business better longevity better everything! Thanks for the great video as always and the haircut looks nice, better suited for the weather!

[@Thunder_Bear_mg]

Shelves looks great! Not covering the windows with the shelving was the right call. Also, raising the height of the shelves to the ceiling was another excellent idea.

[@NeatNoodle]

So happy to get to watch a new Curiosity Inc. series. You keep upping your game Alex. Be careful or we may expect you to restore an old mansion or entire ghost town next!

[@Oglulubell]

Jen 417 I vote ghost town. 😊

[@ritamoon2161]

He will be getting his own show on television.

[@AccioPadfoot12]

I'd SO watch that! lol

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

@@ritamoon2161 I hope not. He can be in control of his youtube channel. If he let's hollywood come in, they'll take control. They'll start wanting to script the shows like they do with all the other reality shows. Plus they get too invasive. The way he's doing it now, it's his way, I love it much better. Alex has a cool vision of what he wants & I think he knows what's best for his channel. Actually he already has a tv show it's just on youtube.

[@Jack.333]

Add dirt to your property line for your soon to be ... above ground planters. Dont trench it. Build it up. Forget the next door neighbors gutters. Love the hard work your doing to secure a fabulous future.

[@cloudysky2]

I'm so glad you kept Josh's painting of Mary!

[@swearenginlawanda]

OMG!!! I'm in love with her miniatures. Being a dollhouse builder, its heavenly

[@mmccoy333]

I love that we get to watch the three of you together again! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@mariflame1821]

Wow, the shelves look so much better like this! Didn't like how they were blocking the windows before. Great job!

[@leslieringer8001]

Hello Alex. I'm so glad you decided to unblock the windows. I think it would look beautiful with some stained glass panels. 1 per window. Also I'm just excited for this series. I was sad when the Potter's series ended. I loved watching the whole process, and I was bummed & wondering what I was going to watch next. So it's all looking great so far and I can't wait to see what comes next. GOD bless you and the family With love from Buffalo NY. Oh 1 more thing, I think you should stain the window frames to match the shelves. It will look more cohesive.

[@stephenhorbatiuk2811]

Alex: Check with the building department. I think you will find out that, In the building code you cannot let your rain water drain on your neighbor’s property. The neighbors down pipes should be draining on their property. Therefore draining into their own backyard. You may also check with the city, because the neighbors might be responsible for any damage as a result of their actions. The city may also be responsible for damages because when the property next door way built. Who passed this drainage plan. Who inspected it . Cheers

[@janettolzda5481]

The old shelves look awesome!! Really love your rebuilds. Love the ceiling color !! Josh and Jakota do awesome work. You are all so blessed with your talent.. I know you have your plans for the store .. but have you thought about staining the window casing to match the shelves? Always Janet

[@shawnsisler3743]

When I was 17, (eons ago), a friend of mine had her first apartment and her landlord gave her permission to redecorate as long as it was easily removable/coverable. She decided she wanted a tin tile ceiling but, like you, it was too expensive... We were young. So we had a brilliant idea, and it worked, so yes, I'm sticking with brilliant. We bought clearance embossed wallpaper, that stuff they use to hide damaged walls, and cut it into 12'' squares, sponge painted it with silver over black then used wall paper paste to apply them to the ceiling. Looked great, even the landlord liked it and looked good with the sage colored walls.

[@KNESES1]

Looking good. So happy you did not block the windows...

[@ScorpioSarah1111]

Boy these guys are awesome and you are so lucky to have them working with you on your many projects!!! When something looks like it belongs there and has been in place for years...it just doesn't get any better than that. Job well done 👍

[@SuperNmolnar]

The Shelves look fantastic wow.. really like it...

[@bdisney6466]

so exciting to watch the transformation of the general store. and the 3 stoodges are back together!

[@pickncraft4000]

the orange store sells a plastic or foam ceiling tile that looks like a tin ceiling and my friends installed it and did a copper paint technique to it and it turned out amazing. I do like the color you choose for the ceiling . Its great to have the band back together. lol.

[@blackbirdhollow3889]

The ceiling paint color choice is incredible!

[@almadeckard8360]

Wow! At 30:17 did you all see the size of that Rabbitt just out thru the window? HUGE!!!

[@NitrousDiecast]

There’s lots of rabbits here in Edmonton...

[@debb4089]

So nice to see everyone working together again! Keeping the windows open looks great. 😊 New store will be awesome.

[@CosmicHamsters]

Had to watch to see if the windows got blocked or not, after everyone's comments on the previous video :) Looks great, good to see the gang back together again.

[@murlthomas70]

I would suggest adding a woodburning stove. It both adds to the authenticity, and gives you back up for those cold winter days when the power goes out.

[@4thegloryofthelord]

Austin has a good collection of them. Hope he buys one from him.

[@Spazcan]

Insurance companies don't like them, especially in commercial spaces

[@galaxia4709]

Smoke from wood is one of the most unhealthy to breath though

[@nanachick05]

If the power goes out the store won't be open anyhow...plus there are generators.

[@pures.guinto1948]

Should have kept the one from Mary’s house. It would have looked great in the store.

[@janecharlton6780]

Awesome !! , will you paint the window frames to match ?? . Great to see the team back together !!! .

[@cloudysky2]

I like the ceiling color, nice color Alex

[@amadeo_serrano]

In light of the space constraints, what I would do is move the kitchen area into the room across from it and repurpose that area as additional sales area. That would also make access to the addition cleaner for customers by having a direct pass-through from the main sales area to the large item area rather than passing through an employee area. The area across the hall could then be a combination break area and office space.

[@amadeo_serrano]

18:35 "of shorter stature". Would that be like vertically-challenged?

[@padali29]

The guys did another amazing job! I like the way you guys installed the shelving around the windows. Your store is going to be a unique place. Can't wait to see how the rest turns out and how you settle into your store!
