Pt 2 Hidden safe in a hoarded house!?!

[@sandraleishman878]

I'm coughing in sympathy just watching the dust floating around. Thank you for taking us with you

[@nancycox204]

I just typed the same thing.

[@thany3]

That's a whole other level of Canadian politeness

[@tracyhintz8519]

Did you watch the hoard that was the the lady that had the vintage clothes in the basement? As I remember, the dust was insane!

[@Ofeliamarino]

Same lol

[@carihislop161]

Your house clearing series are addictive. It's fascinating to see people's stuff and wonder at all the forgotten memories. I hope you find some amazing treasures.

[@depositionsandstuff7465]

Found this channel by algorithm. Really like how the narration isnt overly dramatized like other channels, and that Alex just talks through his finds in a genuine manner. Pretty refreshing.

[@Dippedinsilver1974]

I know they're a lot of work for you, but I LOVE watching you go through hoarder houses! You just never know what you'll come across. Thanks for sharing and take care!

[@clarakokegei9593]

My sentiments exactly 💯 👌

[@SummaGirl1347]

My brother is in the process of doing this with my father's hoarded house so that we can settle his estate. I'm glad videos like this show people what a total NIGHTMARE cleaning up after hoarders and "collectors" is for those left behind with their mess.

[@lizlee6290]

About 2 min. in and I'm already cracking up. Patrick's grin and head shake, Alex's gleeful laugh. The whole scenario! Thanks guys! 😄😄

[@judithpride6810]

Roared with laughter at Alex's comments on the Chippendale game... and could almost hear Patrick cringing in the background :D

[@juliacyrzan1751]

How I missed you unhoarding a place!This probably won’t be as gratifying as the Musician’s house and I know how much work is ahead of you guys but it’s amazing that this amount of stuff will be rescued from going to a landfill. Fingers crossed for lots of hidden gems!

[@mrststreasures9628]

Clinical Symposia journals are quite unique! That may be a keeper - all illustrations are hand done. I worked in a medical library.

[@karenneill9109]

The larger diagrams in the portfolio looked intriguing too. And they were quite large!

[@outoftheburrough]

Yep, medical stuff always sells well (Drew Prichard who we have in the UK always grabs it)

[@michellewanner3921]

I love old medical stuff! Would definitely bid on that in an auction

[@charlenerichardson2623]

I would be totally overwhelmed trying to sort all that stuff. And I am an antiques collector!

[@MissX905]

Same here "No way" I have my own boxes and boxes in my home and in a storage unit that i should go through before I die. Had a good yard sale this past summer made over $400 and people say my yard sales have very unique and good collectibles. so they keep coming back :). I have one guy right now that wants to buy $1,000 worth of comics but I will only sell them when I need some extra cash. many more comics I can sell. Even sold some to a guy out West who also wants to buy more from me.

[@roseypeach8363]

I could watch Alex sort through boxes for hours.

[@Suebee1988]

Alex, the fake eggs are used to encourage chickens to lay their eggs in nesting boxes instead of all over the place. This way you can have clean and fresh eggs every morning without the hassle of having to search the coop or yard to find them.

[@lemonladyYT]

It said on the lid specifically egg grading though. The copper eggs are weights and are used on a scale to grade fresh eggs.

[@Suebee1988]

@@lemonladyYT Didn't see the writing on the lid. Good catch!

[@lemonladyYT]

@@Suebee1988 It's also what Alexander said as he read the lid!

[@cpierce1947]

We all love Patrick. It's so good to see him again!

[@kris2455]

I hope Alex will auction those big boxes again, so people can buy a box full of toys or mugs or Christmas wrapping paper. Everybody loves a good mystery box! 🙂

[@MissX905]

Don't expect the items to be cleaned or dusted off tho lol. And be prepared to pay high prices.

Amazes me the ginormous variety of different kinds of crap- vintage cameras to brass egg dating kit then some paper plates… then vintage art prints and 300 pairs of nothin’ special shoes --what an adventure

[@robertthomas7176]

​@@differenttakethanmost it is an endlessly interesting adventure. I don't the reasons behind the hoarding. Watching the walk thru the house is for me a look not only for interesting things but also for clues as to why this happened in the first place..

[@terriwhittvickers9459]

It looks like a clean Hoarder House. I’ve seen worse!!

[@deniseboldea1624]

Rhinestone sleepwear! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Some florist will accept those bud vases back, and dry cleaning places will accept those hangers BTW.

[@dalemayerson4642]

I'm convinced these people had a booth in a flea market at some point in the past. They were hugely popular - all the price tags add to my thinking. Lots of great stuff, thanks for taking us along with you.

[@cayenigma]

The toy bag from 00:22:06 contains Pet Shop toys. They are one of the newer ones, but they are very collectible. And probably will be coveted in the future! They've been around about thirty plus years and the older ones are already been collected seriously.

[@thedancersstudio]

The toys are definitely worth pointing out, good eye 😊 and people do still love and collect those!

[@cayenigma]

@@thedancersstudio Yeah it might seem obvious to me an you, but the bag just got tossed aside as random small toys and I wanted to point it out.

[@cbacamartinez]

Pen dialer is the future stylus back then! Love these series! tfs

[@ValleyOakPaper]

My grandmother just used a regular pencil. Her fingers were swollen and painful from arthritis, so she couldn't use them to dial. If you took her dialing pen, you were in trouble!

[@Dippedinsilver1974]

@@ValleyOakPaper I used to use pens as well. I was very young when those phones were around and it was difficult for me to turn the dial without the pen.

[@pwitherspoon100]

The horseshoes are a puzzle game. You supposed to figure out how to get the ring off the middle chain. Love watching you dig through all the junk. I love the sewing machine you found! Long gone since this was two years ago.

[@livmelanson1852]

Is anyone else jealous about all the sneaks of Christmas stuff ? The wrapping paper!

[@arauth200]

I just love every time you have a new hoard series to clean out! I dabbled in professional organizing for a few years recently in the Seattle area and watching you go through this home makes me want to jump into the TV screen, develop a system and join you guys in the dirty work! Haha I am rooting for you guys to uncover and seperate all of the furniture from the boxes! I think you rabbit trail so much Alex but it's quite endearing. You'll say "we have to do xyz task" then within seconds it's, "oh look, a 1960s collectible toy car!" You're a hoot!

[@LilithDark4]

I love that instead of moving in a neat line, Alex crawls into the middle of everything and tries to pick up random pieces of furniture from there. 😂😂

[@nitamarie5926]

Alex you could have put a sign on the front lawn for the neighbors: FREE ( for all the stuff you didn’t want to take with you) You would be surprised at how much stuff you could get rid of without having to haul it anywhere else.😊

[@smalljoyfulthings]

That green glass cup you pulled out of the newspaper IS rare! You need to see if there are others! It’s uranium glass, in the pattern Royal Lace by Hazel Atlas.

[@curlytop3194]

I noticed too! I didn't know the exact pattern, but I could tell it was uranium glass. He should check the whole box with a UV light to see if there is anything else hiding in there.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

So fun! You are just a wealth of knowledge Alex. You seem to know what's valuable and what's not. You and Patrick have your work cut out for you. I do believe you will come out ahead. So much nice furniture too! Thanks for taking us along!

[@SARAHBEGAN1]

We bought a hoarded house in a small town and I literally donated everything that wasn’t trash. It was mostly trash. The local thrift shop was like “stop, we are full” 😬😬😂

[@judithfairchild8620]

What a variety of collections. Your's and Patrick's job is a lot harder than it looks.

[@cbsdaigle]

Next time (and we know there will be a next time) as you're building boxes for charity, consider having a box sale. Cover the driveway & yard with boxes for 5$ or 10$. Have to take the entire box. Have your kids work the sale while you work inside and split the profits with them. :D Love the videos. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@emilyarchibald1900]

That's a great idea. :) Especially if too much stuff might be overwhelming for the charity shop.

[@arauth200]

I love that idea, great way to involve the kids and let them earn a buck (saves on fuel and muscle bringing the stuff to charity!)

[@Boxitron]

Honestly, you could probably find a filmmaker and sell most of those brand new electronics as props. They are all in amazing shape.

Don't forget to check for hidden compartments in the rolltop desks. Many desks have them. I have one and you can't tell its even there without pulling all the little draws and panels.

[@soundmankreek]

Alex, based on the number of hoarded homes you come across, it just shocks me how many hoarders there must actually be out there!

[@JudyHart1]

I think you’d be stunned, there’s one in my town, the fire department has orders to not enter if it catches fire, not safe at all, let it burn.

[@Carmangeddon]

Im sure someone else has mentioned but HOLY you could make junk journal fun kits! So many things i wish I could get my hands on that was thrown away and given to the thrift store!!! Yes a lot of work and fun to go through if you aren't on a time limit and had more help. This is a huge load, a collector of a sorts. Shows not all Hoarders are "messy" TV shows the worse cases, people would be surprised how many hoarders live among them AND non hoarders that have questionable living conditions mental illness, procrastination, lack of skill etc does NOT discriminate. Thanks for being proper about the people you purchased the location from. :) Bonus for you but yeah, ephemera for DAYS you could kit up for people that craft and junk journal! Im going to go clean my little closets now and kick off my spring cleaning .. THANKS! :D

[@Cherlock13]

As you sort through the boxes and furniture I can’t help but wonder about each purchasing decision and what in their lives resulted in the acquiring of so many items and then keeping it all for so many years. How long were they in the property etc. I’ve moved multiple times in my lifetime & each move inspired me to eliminate some clutter & unused things. It would be hard for a close family member to sort through it as it may bring back memories. I keep hoping you find something valuable. Enjoy your channel. I too found you shortly after the Potter’s house.

[@terriwhittvickers9459]

I found Alex as he was cleaning out Musician home. She was so timely & sweet. I loved it when Alex took her for the ride in her old car.

I bet the green glassware you found towards the end glows under black light. Uranium if I am not mistaken. Makes it worth money

[@peterhendry2154]

I recently watched a Roll Top Desk restoration and the top wouldn't go all the way up. Because??? Lots of interesting things had fallen over the back and were under where the top goes and blocking it. Have fun. P.S. If you just cut the tape and flatten all the empty boxes you will have a better view of what"s tn there and they can be retaped and reused when needed.

[@bluebird1239]

Hey, I just watched that same episode of the roll top desk on the Fixing Furniture KZbin channel !?! He did a good job bringing that desk back to life but kept its antique integrity. You are right about the empty boxes. I used to work in a warehouse where we shipped out items in boxes and became good at forming the boxes and sealing them with packing tape and a tape gun. I have used that skill many times moving from one apartment to another over the years.

[@clarakokegei9593]

I like the design of the house, I'd live in one with that layout 🙂

Get a black-light flashlight to shine on glass to see if it is HIGH PROFIT URANIUM GLASS. The green depression glass is worth checking, but some cleat will also GLOW. The eggs would be used to demonstrate the egg grading equipment, showing how sizes are automatically sorted. I love these house-hunt videos even though the dust-snow-storms are vicariously triggering my allergies. WELL DONE.

[@marybeth17]

Hi Alex, I was also worried when you said you paid $20K for it. I just thought that may have been a little too much. Hopefully there will be some good stuff in the safe. I feel that you will do okay in the end. You have the Predator, furniture, safe and all of the rest of the items. I just hate that it’s going to take so much time in order to go though everything. I am worried about the short time line they gave you to be finished. I will say a prayer for you guys. Looking forward to seeing the next video.

[@b.neallee7042]

Hi Alex I'm so proud of how creative and giving you are. I was watching a show about Canada and the problems with housing, interest rates, sky high taxes and imigration and inflation through the roof. In Vancouver the median price of annoyed is 1,200,000 for an average home there. You did so well this last few years I'm sure your tax man is your best buddy or not. I think you built your dream house at the right time. Debt is the killer for growth and saving. How can an average house sell for 1,200,000 what jobs can pay workers so they can afford that kind of price. Immigration is the same problem we have. Every dollars used of imigration takes your tax dollars out for your own neighbors pocket. This is the time to get out of debt as soon as you can. When the banks fail because they can't print anymore money they will be calling in all the loans to stay liquid. You are a great generous business man and your lucky your wife is a teacher with good income. I just see you working so hard and successful business are going to get wacked to play more taxes. Might be good you sold your bulidings. Good luck I know you can work through this but tons of people won't please have security at your house, cameras it might get crazy for a while. I've learned a bunch from you and I thank you. Semper Fi Neal Apollo beach FL

[@arauth200]

I absolutely thought this, while Alex is "tunnelling" he can label the boxes with a sticker or a letter (T for trash, C for charity or K for keep??) so the helper can immediately understand what to do with the box or pile in front of him. There are always ways to enhance the process of clearing out a house!
