Searching The Abandoned Bus We Didn’t Expect To Find This

We search the abandoned bus and find something great, I wonder it's actually worth. We have spent the day cleaning the bus out and saving what we think is worth saving. The abandoned homestead is slowly getting cleaned up.

His son will be so happy to have those pictures and papers. Thank you for being the kind of people who would not just pitch everything into a dumpster. You took the time to look through things to give to the family and to donate to others. Great job in the continued clean-up.

It is hard to not get frustrated and irritated with the work load. If it is your families home, the memories give you pause and even laughter. Cleaning out my mother's clothes dresser, we found some wood blocks. I didn't remember them, but my sister-in-law did. Rememeber when the boys were 3 and 4 they played with these and usually fought over them because there weren't enough of the blocks. My nephew smiled and laughed and said, "Can I keep them?" Why sure you can.

[@jimmyhardin6366]

I bought a storage locker that had a soldiers medal of valor and several other papers from his service and finally found his kids and they didn't want anything to do with it. So I donated it to the VFW and it's displayed there to this day

[@chipprice1174]

Ms Hayden is such a worker, showing maturity in the way she works! Great Job little lady! Y'all all got a lot accomplished on this video!

[@nancyfarmer4224]

It's so nice to have children to help clean at the abandoned property during spring break ❤❤❤ Such Great Helpers!!!

[@roseblite6449]

Been there, done that. Though not on a bus, and not that big a mess (close though). My parents had rental property when I was in school and sometimes when people left they left a mess. My two sisters and I helped clean up after the renters on weekends and after school for a couple of weeks (multiple properties). The really bad thing was one of the rentals the people left their dog chained up without food and water. We took him home, and he turned out to be one of the best pets/guard dogs we ever had.

[@donnabalisle2645]

You have Great Girls to help clean that bus!! Happy 13th Birthday to Adley! 🎉🎉

[@lauratobey1450]

Love the chest ...great find. The girls are very hard workers you guys ought to be so proud of them. They all just jump right in and work away. Great job guys !!! Happy Birthday Hadley !

[@marywilson1442]

🌠🎂 Happy 13th Hadley🎂🌠 Hey Dutch and Brandi, you've got a great crew there helping you clean out the bus. Hayden surly is worth her weight in gold, she was into the cleanup and did a great job...

[@gaylenewood7707]

She looked about 16 yrs old but Dutch doesn't want his kids to age him that fast Lol!!!

[@sandyg3639]

Your girls just jumped right in and began to help clean out the old bus. It's so nice to see your family working and spending time together. You accomplished so much today. Blessings to you all. ❤🌻

[@teresamariner4238]

The Happiest of 13th Birthdays to you, Miss Hadley!!! You're officially a teenager!! May our good God richly bless and protect you and give you a wonderful 13th year of life!! Blessings to you and your family as you work to build, improve and explore your properties and enjoy all the adventures that come your way.

[@pamelahousley7543]

Kids did an awesome job pitching in. That cedar chest was cool. So glad you can give it to his son. Those are great treasures /memories

[@cherylphillips9107]

I love the cedar chest. They used to be called hope chest. Girls were supposed to put items in that they might one day use in their homes when they got married.

[@forrestanderson9008]

I was thinking that maybe if you had put the smaller things together in a bucket or basket, you wouldn't have made so many trips in and out the door, but then your oldest started doing that.. I like doing that with weeds too, even though my husband fusses at me. Each her or his own. Enjoyed watching your hard work that you make look like fun. God bless your loving family. Deme in Bama

[@darlahartman2003]

Awesome finds in the bus! Especially the cedar chest. I have one that when my grandmother passed away I got a cedar chest. Now I keep it in my front room. Great memories! I call it my hopeless chest. LOL thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@christinastewart9830]

Awesome video! Everyone pitching into help sure made the job a lot quicker. So cool you're give the kids his old pickers of when he was in the Marine Corp. The my Dad's second wife, stepparent, she started throwing everything of his away. We found out after he had passed she never loved my Dad and disowned me and threw all of our childhood pictures and all my Dad's old pictures from when he was in the Air Force. Broke my heart to find out she had done that, especially when it didn't mean anything to her. Sorry didn't mean to go on about my family but I think y'all are so wonderful to save the old stuff and give it to the family. It isn't worth thousands but it is worth it to them, most likely. I just love how the girls help out especially Hayden, she is awesome! 🎉Happy 13th birthday Hadley🎉 Can't wait for the next video! God bless.😊❤

[@gaylenewood7707]

No I'm sorry you lost your childhood memories that you could've passed down to your grandkids someday but please if you do have any grandkids tell them about your father let them know he was a great man..

[@auntiewombat]

That bus could actually make a very cool tiny home or some other type of teen hangout. If I were you I'd challenge the girls. They or at least one of them could take on the restoration as a project and learn how to do all kinds of things in the process. When done they can choose to keep it or sell it & they keep the money!

[@peggybowe5556]

Happy Birthday, Hadley! Hope you had a fun day & didn't have too work! LOL! You girls are awesome to help your parents the way you do! I know your dad & mom are proud of you 3!

[@pattyshannon6475]

So great seeing the whole family cleaning up together. I believe the former occupant was a hoarder😢

[@mousemeat1352]

Unbelievable family working on this project together your children are awesome. Hayden is in a class by herself. They are great examples of family values and nurturing parenting. Great job.

[@lindakinsey1093]

Happy Birthday Hadley. You girls were working very hard. Well everyone was working hard. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikerequa820]

Happy Birthday Hadley hope you had a great day 🎉 ya'll did a great job you young ladies are a real help especially Hayden! Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls family and homestead

[@chrisjohanson9284]

Great treasures in that bus. Great the family all helped too. Take care, stay safe 🙏❤️☀️🙏

[@neildriedger637]

👍❤😇🙏

[@aletheaglenn6656]

If you take two dust pans and use them to lift all that trash off the floor, it keeps your hands out of it and possibly prevents anything from harming your hands.

[@valeaton4538]

You could use that chest as a coffee table. Just glue shelf back together and use 220 sand paper and lightly sand it wipe it off with lint free cloth. Then put a coat of satin urethane on it to protect it and after it drys, sand again and do the same as before to seal it.

[@bethminnick6728]

When cleaning out my grandmother 's place we found that she hid money in books. Several hundred dollars, a 20 here and there. Started flipping through all her books. My mom found over 600 in 20 dollar bills.

[@anniejones5806]

Let the girls name the bus and paint it their favorite color. It will make a good get away place for a day .

[@jeanettec6212]

Happy Birthday to you Hadley! And Happy Birthday coming to you Hayden! You all did a great job!

[@Jean-wt7uk]

That brown, heavy wall little shelves is actually a spoon rack for special, collectable spoons. 😎

[@ritafirestone761]

Happy Birthday Hadley. You are a beautiful young lady. Being a teenager is going to be fun.🎉🎉🎉. You have found some fun items in there. Clothes could be washed at a laundromat and left at a rescue center for the homeless.

[@marciaborg77]

The owners family will be so happy that you guy's found some great memories for them.

[@patriciaridley457]

😮You Guys are finding a few treasures great job 👍 Lilly's so cute

[@simonworthington3330]

That item at 5.51 in the video is it for hatching eggs like an incubator. One never knows what you find in old places.

[@shewho333]

I’ve got an old school bus on my property and my kids have made it into their own little hangout. We never got around to totally restoring it, and it couldn’t make it over the mountain passes for family vacations, so it’s been a tiny home in progress for umpteen years. My oldest is 17 and thinking about making it her room/home now. She’s tired of waiting for us to finish it. It’s quite cozy as it is! That cedar chest is almost exactly like the one I have sitting at the end of my bed. The top split just like that when my kids were little. It was an easy fix with some wood glue and clamps.

[@jackielong9927]

Happy birthday Hadley! Have a wonderful birthday 🎂 🎊 ❤❤

Dogs are so smart. She really wanted out of there!

Happy Birthday Hadley and Happy Saint Patrick's Day to the family. 😊🎂🎈🎈🎁🥳💖🙏🙋‍♀️

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

5:58 it's a nuwave air fryer. They we're only sold on live auction TV in the early 90's. My aunt bought one for almost the same money as a electric stove 😂

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

It's fascinating how much good stuff you found amongst all the trash. But once the bus is all cleaned out you can begin to design how you want to finish it. There are some great tiny home designs for buses out on the internet. 💖💖💖

[@marcboulanger4300]

Great family project, like many others. i kept waiting to see bones of some kind every time you moved something on the floor. Glad none were found. Thanks everyone

That cedar chest looks like a high school woodworking shop class project. I made one just like it. The value in it is to his family, the ones that are valuable are commercial

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

Man your oldest daughter is a working machine! Good job! That cedar chest is a good find! Best thing to store quilts in!!

[@Stephanie-kt9vh]

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY HADLEE🎉

[@mrs.samkiess2388]

that small appliance that you found is called a Boss today but started as a turbo wave oven -- air frying and didn't know it. /I have one

[@DinkTank369]

Happy Birthday today Hadley 🍀

[@donnamack4616]

My guess on that glass dome thing you took out is it is a counter-top convection oven from about 20-25 yrs ago.

[@marthaosburn-henry1087]

That little chest is called a "Blanket Box". It was kept at the end of the bed for cool weather. Good find!🌻👍🌻

[@cybersal7]

Girls called them Hope Chests and would start collecting linens and items for when they left home and got married. Then, after they were married, they became blanket storage as you said, and it was practically mandatory to put them at the foot of the bed. Days before Walmart’s and women often didn’t work outside the home.

[@texanasimmons1761]

The cedar chest is wonderful! Im betting the lid was made by 2 planks and where it broke was where the 2 planks were glued up. Its cool you can give his military stuff too his kids

Don't throw the metal cages that go around the water tanks away. You can use them for hay feeders.

[@lip-skisnaturals9250]

AFter cleaning out parents houses who have passed, it was strange in what things we see has value. Most of this stuff is not antique. It is broken and dirty. It is hard to see so much refuse. It takes money to reclaim an item and it takes money to dispose of it. Makes you think of how much we have spent through the years and wasted.

[@lip-skisnaturals9250]

It is hard to not get frustrated and irritated with the work load. If it is your families home, the memories give you pause and even laughter. Cleaning out my mother's clothes dresser, we found some wood blocks. I didn't remember them, but my sister-in-law did. Rememeber when the boys were 3 and 4 they played with these and usually fought over them because there weren't enough of the blocks. My nephew smiled and laughed and said, "Can I keep them?"

Great progress on the bus. Before you let that mattress go, you might want to take a close look at it to see if there are signs that something may be hidden inside it. That is a common hiding place for many.

[@dpcsharr]

The golden peacock is a home decoration that was sold by a company called Home Interiors. Women back in the 70’s and 80’s would have parties and share decorating ideas and order from this company.

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺You need a wide shovel to scoop up the trash, like a snow shovel.

[@babsann8463]

Check out everything in that blue file, that is in the cedar chest! It could have Stocks and Bonds, banking, like saving acct.!Just look through all of it, with a fine tooth comb! Lol! Good Luck! Also, you did save that piece of insulation, to finish that up on the windows. If you are keeping it like that. Then you could Pile wood, the walls.. Make it a nice warm place for Winter time, for your Chickens.😊

That golden peacock is actually brass. Brass figurines were very popular 30 or 40 years ago. It was a real pain to keep it shiny

[@Lollylobacres]

The mattress springs, after the fabric is removed can be used as a bean trellis.
