WoW… How totally amazing… When I first stumbled across your original video, I had a laugh to myself and just couldn’t believe that you planned on saving it… But OMG, what a job you have done… Incredible effort, you guys are amazing, I bow down to you all, I know I could not have done it… Congratulations… 😎👍🏼🥃

Those paper cutouts are of Japanese Kabuki Theatre masks 🎭 of actors

[@jeanrichardson2044]

That boat deck looks decidedly rickety and you are all very trusting of the boat's seaworthyness. I bet those neighbours are celighted to see the work you are doing.

[@paulinewilson613]

Some very interesting finds. It was great to see you taking time out to enjoy your new little boat and visit a nursery. Really enjoying your videos, thank you

[@peterholmesgavleman]

Storage King should be paying the shed cleaning guys for advertising!

[@juliefaulkner2330]

LOVE what you have done so far. Congratulations. It's looking great.

[@melinda5871]

What a wonderful journey ....good on you guys ...really enjoyed it and its so inspirational for those overwhelmed by large seemingly near impossible transformations to bring the old and worn out back to being loved appreciated and rejuvinated .....now ......i wonder where that big.ol snakeroonies hidden out ....x

[@TeeVeeZed123]

Have a look under the teapots for names etc, then google them, you may be pleasantly surprised.

[@judithtaylor6916]

Some great finds. There was once definitely a woman in the house. The study chair is lovely. And all the tea pots. And chandelier. Bottle brush flowers are real messy and scatter everywhere once they shed the stamens. Dont put near the house or pathways.

[@amygone2pot]

I love pottery/China chickens. What a great find.

[@amandamciver6987]

Hi guys, love watching the transformation of your property. I agree with one of the other comments about washing in a plastic tube but - TOP TIP FIRST: look for any labels prior to washing any of the porcelain teapots, statues or metal work. If there are any labels carefully remove them - DON'T THROW AWAY as these can help identify anything of value and help retain the authenticity of an item. Also use a mild detergent / soap so you don't harm any of the painted images and use soft brushes to get in the nooks and crannies. I would also suggest that once washed have a look on the bottom of the pieces to see if there are any makers marks so you can use it to google them and do some research - don't just sell them at a garage sale - do your research first; some of them might be worth some $$$$$ - even the metal ones look old and could be of value. Good luck with everything - I look forward to your following your adventures ......

[@Jeanetteinnes]

Great advice.. love the teapots 😊

[@Jeanetteinnes]

Having a creek is so cool 🎉such a good location

[@carlharries6546]

Auto hammer has a slot and a magnet on the head to hold a nail. Strike first to put nail in wood then hammer as normal. Auto means you dont have to hold the nail.

[@Poje007]

That bunny teapot is super cute

[@julianneboys4062]

Wow😮 some great finds 😊

[@pattiwhite9575]

After all the expense of clearing the land the real treasures were in the two garages. So many really good things. Cute, funny, and then the useful items found. The boat is just the best. You never know when you might need one during a bad storm. Or if you just need to escape for awhile on the river. Carry On.

[@chrismc1975]

That rabbit teapot is definitely vintage!

[@michellejenkinson9123]

Thats my favourite nursery . You guys must be close by us 😊

[@brendajohnson6910]

Looks like you have the start of an Etsy shop in that garage. Thank you for sharing!

[@Diwondermum]

You have really struck gold with your China teapots and things. Check their bottoms for makers marks. This can the lead you onto their ages and possibly where they were made. Great finds!! Just love the teapots. I collect that sort of stuff!!

[@Carolanne1926]

Hi just subcribed to your channel from Queensland Australia i love your transformation of the property cant wait to see your next video

[@robynsutton4848]

The red and green kangaroo paw is native to WA and is their state flower emblem. Where I lived as a kid they were prolific.

[@chrismc1975]

Leucadendron would be another great native to have

[@magicmusic8316]

My Nanna had the same cabinet you showed after the leather chair. It was called a cystal cabinet, to display, your crystal kitchen wares. The crystal things you held up, one is a ring holder. The hats were a deer stalker (hunter), chinese army, and a railway porter's. I could go on and on! i hope you are selling these treasures, or donating and not sending them to landfill. Don't remind me of the Flymo! The electric cable was always a worry I would chop it by accident!

[@UNXPIR3D]

Love that you could relate to our finds and your Nanna having the same cabinet! We definitely won’t be sending them to landfill…we are tempted to keep them all! Thank you for sharing in the Journey!! 😁

[@Lea-bw9wj]

THe number of treasures is crazy. The antique chairs, cupboards, and little table. I'm drooling. They will look amazing with a little restoration. They are almost perfect as is. The book shelf looks like a 90's pine. Free boat. Yay. Gotta love a pushy sales person that follows you around and wont leave you alone 😆

[@neutonrenda2303]

Awesome times ahead, enjoying the place.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Fun treasures, will be interesting to research some of them; you'll have to keep us posted.

[@user-vy6or2zr6r]

Another great video. Lots of fun to be had in the boat. Love all your finds especially the chickens. They will look great in the garden.

[@jax993]

Man you guys scored !! Your own vintage shop with amazing finds 🎉1d keep just about everything there 😊 but there’s things there that’d be worth a lot, that push blade mower! We had 2 of those when we were growing up

[@neutonrenda2303]

Awesome pieces of furniture, love the swivel chair. Also love the water access, couldn't really see that before the clean-up.👍

[@australianlife-stephjones902]

What an amazing journey, currently binge watching! Well done guys

[@neutonrenda2303]

The plants are beautiful, they look very similar to the fynbos we have here near Cape Town.👍

[@garydewey3167]

I was hoping you would find car's in their 👍

[@MrEvilemma]

Great finds!! When you wash your porcelain treasures do them in a plastic bucket, not the sink. Many a dirty treasure has been accidentally chipped by taps in the sink 🌈♥️

[@UNXPIR3D]

That’s a great tip!! Thank you 😁

[@sassyh154]

What a treasure trove... great advice below about the washing of the gorgeous ornaments... where are you guys, WA? We are in Nth Qld... looking forward to seeing you transform this home... Cheers for sharing...

[@Steve-ye1zn]

That dingy just made your new backyard a lot bigger. My backyard creek isn't deep enough for a paddle usually. When it is though, I'd be in your neighborhood in a matter of hours! What a wonderful place you have found to live. Looking forward to seeing more of the journey. Greetings from Brisneyland west (Ashgrove).

[@Dragonlady80]

Doing an amazing job, great finds, got to be cool when they leave behind old things you can bring back to life and use again.

[@Leejahable]

I discovered your channel this morning and now Im addicted. I binge watched your previous vids. Great work!!

[@lizthomas6347]

You have a veritable treasure trove, how exciting.

[@talleyrand2739]

have you had termite bait stations put in may be a worth while investment as seems to be indications of their presence ,bet there is a few muddies in that creek

[@marthabartel604]

This was a very informative video. Metal sheds are ok but the shelve units were great for termites.

[@karenjoy7557]

Looks good want website did U see house or was it council non paying taxes... If U like bottlebrushes trees there is a nice colour purple... You would get good crabs and maybe crayfish like yabbies... I got 1 tree cut down and I had to get council permits cost me $80 over 10yrs ago... U should put a seating area near your back dock with BBQ out there...❤😂❤😂 Can't want to see the finish house...don't put up Palm trees they are messy trees or jacaranda they fall on houses...and stain everything...

[@jouvellemcwatters169]

Hi guys Some awesome treasures ❤. That glass chandelier ❤❤❤❤. Lord Walter is pretty handy bless him . 😊

[@teresaoyarzun7518]

Some of your pieces are collectors items I suggest u go through each one some are worth a bit.

[@trudyfalwasser6093]

What a cool find!!!

[@chrismc1975]

Love the dingy! How fun this will be ❤

[@amypreuit4114]

Astonishing what people leave behind. Looks like some real treasures! Seeing the old furniture made my soul sing. I love love love antique/vintage pieces. I’m currently restoring a 1928 deco vanity for my granddaughter. I’m so glad that you find beauty in the old things found! Hope to see them cleaned up and in use at a later date. I know nothing about tea pots, but I know some can hold huge value. Hope you can find info on them. I love the videos and seeing all the progress being made! I appreciate that you allow us to tag along on your journey. Y’all are doing a wonderful job and it’s so fun to watch! Look forward to the next vid! 🎉 12:52

[@marthabartel604]

You are right to get the native plants are there many you can divide down and split from your present yard.

[@MirellaFerris-q6y]

It's like an Aladdin's Cave of wonderful finds. Hope you find lots of ways to recycle and reuse all the good stuff.

[@29stmarksrd]

Good morning from The United States! Kim Woodburn from the UK show How Clean Is Your House would recommend saddle soap to clean your leather chair. My mom and I love your videos. She will be excited at your new installment.

[@UNXPIR3D]

Hello United States! 😁 we shall look up saddle soap…we do love the chair… Thank you for sharing in our Journey! And say G’day to your Mum for us!

[@junenic58]

Just binge watched all your videos, we did a similar thing 18 months ago. We needed another challenge in our retirement, so moved from North Brisbane into Central Qld. We have had fun cleaning and renovating the house and garden, Good luck, it was a fabulous find.

[@UNXPIR3D]

Thank you! and thank you for sharing in our Journey 😁

[@seeshel63]

I would check with council if your creek can have motored boats?? Paddling is kinder to the environment if possible. Cant wait for the native garden 😊

[@TheTlangdon]

✨🏆✨

[@WildKraftyAotearoa]

Cool!

[@andeebee2530]

May I ask what nursery that is? Id love to go there. The plants look amazing. I’m so glad you’re planning on planting natives. We had an estuary in our backyard as kids, we have so many happy memories of growing up there.

[@natalienaisbitt6199]

DONT FORGET TO LOOK IN THE ATTIC , MAYBE SOME TREASURES❤❤❤❤

[@1456milne]

Absolutely go for the Grevilleas, they don't stop flowering here in Perth - provides food for bees and New Holland Honey-eaters all year, hope it is the same for your area. We have several of the dwarf varieties (small unit complex) and bring so much joy and colour. The kangaroo paw are busting out this year, the bloom stems are 6ft tall around my garden. Enjoying very much watching your progress and love your narrating!!

[@user-yc4fz7vv6u]

Make sure you are not allergic to grevilleas before putting them in- they can cause dermatitis.

[@glendahamilton4148]

I am enjoying watching your videos. But would like to ask you how you found your property? Please. I would love to find one for myself.

[@harryhudson3349]

Very brave. I've been to Australia 3 times now and loved it. Wished I'd taken the chance with my sisters and moved there. You all are very brave mucking in I'd be too concerned about the spiders and snakes....any crocks in the water?

[@cherylemaybury9967]

Crocodiles don’t come down so far south. They live in far North Queensland, NT and top of WA. 😊

[@robfaith6029]

with a lot of those treasures you should have a garage sale you could almost pay for you house.

[@Lea-bw9wj]

Didn't Homer Simpson invent the auto hammer? 🤣

[@doonyfam8431]

Im worried about crocs in that creek 😳

[@geoffmerritt]

I think the property is in Brisbane, Crocs shouldn't be a problem... Sharks though...

[@themessypaletteau]

No crocs... but loads of bull sharks

[@moodyga40]

the art work is Japanese
