Urbex: Knotty ABANDONED House

[@JustBeth617]

WOOHOO! My favorite urban explorer! Great to see you back!

[@bextar6365]

Shure have great weather in Canada for January...

[@TikiTrex]

@@bextar6365 This was an earlier exploration.

[@57Banjoman]

Ditto!

[@dougsimerly6829]

It looks like someone tried to save this one, but mold is as sure as taxes. Thanks Lady for another great explore!

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks as always for all of your heart-felt comments. I read and appreciate them all. Your support means a lot! ❤️I've actually uploaded three videos before this one since September, but for some reason, KZbin didn't send out notifications for those, so many of my subscribers see this as the first video I have posted since my hiatus.

Glad to see your back!

[@dougsimerly6829]

Another surprise for today, thanks and I always enjoy your tours!

[@AndiDuck]

Good to see you are still exploring TikiTrex

[@michelleevans5531]

So happy to see you back!

[@dennisolof9994]

So happy to see that you did not stop and just took a break. I have enjoyed many of you videos. Are you using a gimbal now and new equipment ? the video quality seems much improved now or at least good enough compared to what it used to be. Anyway there seems to be a lot of abandoned stuff to explore in Canada.

[@tanis143]

The reason these "renovations" fail is they were not being done properly. I can tell these people started on the inside first, then saw the mold building up and quit. Always start on the outside. Make sure the house is water tight to prevent mold. New roof, new window seals, caulking, etc. Once that is complete then you start on the inside.

[@jaynedavis4667]

Thats what I was thinking, the "ive got a damp house lets fill it with raw pine" not their finest hour, getting double glazing and central heating would have done wonders for it!

[@markhinr]

And it seems the wet basement needed to be dealt with before proceeding with the interior, too.

[@sooth15]

The room at around the 12 min mark has original (old) wainscoting. You can tell it's the thick stuff, and it's varnished with the old shellac (same as the staircase). It's also not buckled since it was probably nailed down really well to some wooden bracing in behind. I suspect that the hole in the floor was for a second "servant's staircase" leading to the kitchen or one of the less formal first floor rooms. Also the faux wood grain designs on the doors is something I tend to see more often from houses around 1880-1900, so with this one being 1909, it's a trend that was already starting to be a bit old fashioned when the house was built. This was a lovely house.

[@TraditionalHymns]

Yeah, the wainscotting is lovely. You can see that the knotty pine strips were simply glued on, which is probably why they're coming off so soon lol. Although glue isn't all bad, it seems not to be the proper way to affix wood.

[@judyrosy]

I recall this explore from a long time ago!! I remember every single one. My favorite one was the cat lady house. : )

[@chantallaflamme6454]

You just KNOW it's going to be a good day when Tikitrex uploads !! Such a beautiful house!!

[@TikiTrex]

Glad to make your day! You guys make mine with comments like these. :)

[@Laura-Kitty]

Spiders galore in the basement entry. Yikes!

[@jbaron1998]

Glad you are back TikiTrex, we all missed you .

[@TikiTrex]

I've missed you all as well, Joseph! Thank you.

[@RichieRouge206]

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you! 💕

[@sheapiland8779]

Beautiful property and house. Love the woodwork around the doors and windows on the first floor, and the wood doors upstairs. Wouldn't take much to fix this charming house to be livable again. Hopefully someone will.

[@bitethedevil]

The basement probably explains the warping and mold in the house. Love your videos.

[@claire040776]

OMGolly! You’re my ALL TIME FAVOURITE EXPLORER! It was great to log on and find your upload! Thank-You, Thank-You!

That’s so sweet. Thanks! :)

[@thortheviking4666]

Thank you so much Tiki 👍🏼 So happy to see exploring from you and here your smoth voice to it 👌🏼 Fabulous 🤗

[@blairstewart2476]

I’m so glad your back! I love the unedited walk through videos so much!

[@556blackwater]

Something very relaxing with your methodical exploration of these old places. Always fun to come along with you.

[@sewcrazybaker]

What a beautiful house! So much hard work put into it and now it's empty. If it had been my house, I would have done drywall. All that pine would drive me nuts!

[@georgepark9871]

Brill you are back, you have been missed , keep the videos coming. big HI from Scotland

Watching this while it rains ❤️

[@jimsoutdooradventures2748]

YAAAAAAAY My favorite explorer is back. Thanks for the upload Pam!

Hi Jim! Thanks for the warm welcome and awesome comment! I've actually been back a few months now but for some reason, KZbin didn't send notifications to many of my subscribers of my newest 3 videos I've uploaded since September 2018.

[@TikiTrex]

Yeah, very typical, lol.

So no one is gunna talk about the room where the work stopped at where *ALL* those flies where at?! And how come the attic was closed off, stairs leading to nowhere.... #CREEPY 🤔👻

[@dansmodelworx]

Welcome back! Great video. Glad to see you could document this one before the vandals got to it.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks! I'm glad as well.

[@jimblue39]

I am always amazed at the items people leave behind. It is a beautiful house with lots of nice land. Thanks Tiki for another great explore, thoroughly enjoy your videos. Take care.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks Jim. Glad to see you are still with me.

[@Karmy.]

I'd buy this house in a heartbeat if it weren't for the mold

[@sherryjohnson8851]

I'm soooooo happy to see a video of yours!!!!! You do such an excellent job at showing everything and explaining what you see and think. Please please please keep up the excellent job and NEVER stop making videos. I'm a fan of yours for life😃😃😃😃

This house was beautiful!

[@gonagain]

I think they cut the power to lower the insurance costs, but without heat and ventilation that house is at its end. Great video Tikitrex! Gonagain

[@LoriSmithsHomeCooking]

We have missed, so glad you’re back. Awesome video, not a bad house!

Your filming skills are better than most who do this. It's very easy to see everything. Just wish there was more to see in this one.

[@erikhagelin6374]

Welcome back. I missed your videos.😀👍

[@miss_posh_paws]

I just found your videos about 3 weeks ago, wishing I did years ago. But everything about them is so calming, your voice, movements, just everything’s so relaxing to watch and listen to, unlike most abandoned videos people make, you always have respect for the place your exploring❤️

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you for the sweet comment. I'm glad you found my channel. ❤️

[@michelleevans5531]

I saw this video in the recommendations and almost fell out of my chair! So glad you are back🤗 I had an intuition that if I waited and didn't unsubscribe, you would be back. What a treat!!

So exciting to see your videos popping up again. Thanks for including us on your journeys! Hi from BC🇨🇦

[@tanis143]

Yay! Another TikiTrex! My day is complete!

[@mjg263]

Great explore Pam, so glad to see a vid from you! I think the knotty pine paneling buckled because it was installed incorrectly. It can't be installed tight from edge to edge, there has to be a gap at each end covered by molding to let it expand and contract with temp and weather changes. Same goes for floors, if you don't leave a gap it'll buckle up and pop right off. Creepy cistern in the basement: "it puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again" 😮

[@TikiTrex]

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your comment. :)

[@NeilRoy]

Welcome back, always good to see your videos, thanks.

[@JGM1721]

That was an interesting house. It had a huge moisture problem, though. I wonder what was leaking. It must have been quite massive because everything (as you pointed out) was buckling. Thanks for the look inside.

[@ginalola6354]

Is this real life?? You’re back!!! Yes!!!

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you so much, Gina! 💚I've actually been back for a few months but I guess KZbin hadn't sent out notifications of my past few uploads since September for some reason.

What a great location! I'm not certain, but I think it's victorian era. Without the mold and warping of the wood, it'd be a fantastic restoration project!
