We found an ABANDONED HOUSE on our new property!

[@C-24-Brandan]

Should set up some trail cameras and see what native/invasive species of mammals, birds, reptiles & amphibians are on the property! Definitely goin to need a skid steer or tractor with a front load bucket to knock down/clean up the old house, dead & already fallen trees, make some trails etc! Congratulations again can't wait to see it all done with the proper perimeter fence, professional enclosures, trails, maybe a camping area set up with outdoor cooking, fire pit etc! Endless possibilities

[@audri8152]

hurricane ian really caused us a lot of damage last year here in central florida. it's not like the coast, but still can get lots of damage being inland.

[@jackpotjunkie]

Bando house real neat!! 🎈🎈Congrats on the new property! u 2 deserve it how hard y'all work w/ the love, knowledge, & compassion of animals u guys have is impressive!

[@fairydogmother2752]

Wow great property, looks like they did use newer wood to try restore that house at some point, so you can probably salvage allot of the wood 🪵😀 and maybe the metal roof sheeting too. Great for extra project builds. Don't know if you can get a digger through there but if you can, you could always bury all the waste materials.

[@Angiemae87]

Maybe bring in a small atv with small trailer and get the stuff out that way… if you build a treehouse chris will never come down 😂

[@bsmith1220]

Studs still look good in that abandoned house, could be repurposed. Would be a ton of work to demo it.

[@davidbuchanan9242]

Congratulations on buying your dream home. I may have to check out your sanctuary after you get set up. I would miss not seeing Casper. Will see who you find to replace him. ?? I like to kayak with my 8 lb Porky ( Pomeranian Yorky) Only time I worry is when she gets on the top front bow. I figure I keep moving so I’m ok. You do say that they do track food. Should I be worried?

[@jimmiebarr1972]

Seriously though, if you see rocks or pebbles on the roof. You have sasquatch in your area.

[@TheFlyWahine]

Trash it and throw it away, get rid of some of the small stuff so you can walk there and give the rest of the nature space to breath. Idk if the mirrors worth saving?

[@donaldmoser212]

What part of Florida are you guys in now?

[@ericpurvis5266]

With the right equipment I could have that out of there for you in a day.

[@pierret.5304]

You should walk with proper shoes in these kind of environments to be fair. You could walk on a old dirty nail that could really destroy your feet

[@GatorLife57]

I still think a hurricane came by and did the main damage to the house. Hurricanes can still do a lot of inland damage. Checkout the war zone of Wauchula, Florida when hurricane Francis and Jean came through. I lived in the Lakeland area at that time. 🌪️🌪️⛈️⛈️🌪️🌪️

[@kristinajohnson2055]

how many acres is it

[@amirandamichelle]

Bambi is so cute!!

[@shamrockinit8747]

Need an ATV!!

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

I bet if you did some flipping of the house debris you would find the local hideaway’s that would use that cover. Kind of curious what they would be.

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

Go figure you did start flipping right after I had the thought part way through the video. Cool property.

[@JCarrera27]

🖤👏

[@Tkidddd]

You should be walking through there with a metal detector, and Gabi holding your beer

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

May want to swing the phone around slower when scanning, it makes us dizzy when it’s moves too fast!

Imagine a tree house within an aviary xx

[@jeffbrownstain]

Aahhhhhhhh fix it up into a cheap guest houseee

[@danielled8665]

Cheap?? Lmfao, this is what is called a money pit. Restoring this building would literally cost more than leveling it and building a new one.

[@jeffbrownstain]

@@danielled8665 same thing m8

[@danielled8665]

@@jeffbrownstain ? But it's the opposite?

[@jeffbrownstain]

@@danielled8665 That's a Matter of Perspective, at best.

[@danielled8665]

@Sozeb Ffej not really? Cheap vs expensive can be, sure, but "more expensive than literally just replacing the entire thing from the ground up" is pretty firmly the same thing no matter what angle you look at it. Florida is wet and warm. Wet wood in Florida very quickly becomes a soft mushy crumbly mess that warps and droops. You can see the moisture making the ceiling fan sag, the floor is sagging under his feet, the roof is drooping. I highly doubt there is a single structurally sound piece of lumber left in the place.

[@kristineguetschow9134]

First time I ever saw a melted ceiling fan…

[@nickframe8660]

I use to hunt that and I’ve killed many deer and hogs out of that house

[@BIGBLOCKJOE1]

Rattle Snake City

[@missjae1469]

I would put some reconstruction into that and rent it to a low income family or a single mom struggling w housing

[@danielled8665]

Provided it doesn't have structural damage, mold, plumbing issues, outdated electrical, inadequate insulation, lead pipes, damaged roofing, etc. Sometimes it's cheaper to build an entirely new house than restore an abandoned one.

[@danielled8665]

Okay just got to the point in the video it shows the house and LMAO that would be a literal fortune to restore.

[@Tenmo8life]

Dont be dissin' mAh crib bruh

[@jongiles415]

"I wanna build a tree house" - "you totally should." That is the kind of support you need in life, people

[@nicolegoodew1547]

Its really cool to see how big your property is. It just keeps going

[@robinzamory5107]

At least you have your safety sandals on. LOL. Be careful! I am so happy for you both. It's such an exciting new Adventure for you!

[@Alevermor]

I live in an area where coyotes, mountain lions and bears are prevalent. Seeing those two pooches prancing around the wilderness gives me so much anxiety.

[@Angelface11]

In Florida it's black bears. Not so bad like grizzlies. More skittish. Much smaller and very few in Florida ..Florida is alligators and snakes.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Many years ago folks were losing hunting dogs going over a bridge. Eventually someone discovered a very big and quite fat gator…unfortunately it was deemed dangerous…probably correctly..and killed. When opened up he was full of collar parts. I guess he was far too big to relocate and feel bad for the dogs, but he was just being a gator. Shows his smart they are and observant.

[@LuvDogs65]

Omg, please be careful with your adorable Chihuahua. Predators in the sky and on the ground. It's only going to be a matter of time before these edible animals disappear. Please, small dogs have a lot more animals to worry about. Just my opinion.

[@ColoradoMntn1222]

OMG, especially after they said there had to be rattlesnakes around. In the middle of the day, bears and mountain lions and coyotes are not generally a problem (I have the same animals in my area.) But rattlesnakes....

[@markslark5207]

My suspicion is that the house was built close to the barn for a reason. My rationale is that with unpainted plywood exterior walls, it was built on a budget. I think the builder tore down the barn piece by piece, and used what was salvageable in the construction of the house. I don’t think the house dates back any farther than the late 1960s or early ‘70s. The insulation doesn’t look any older than that, and the plywood exterior is still mostly intact with little evidence of rotting or water damage. But you may have seen evidence indicating an earlier construction date that I was unable to see in the video. In Florida, ceilings are insulated to keep out solar heat, walls are insulated to retain heat in the winter. The exterior walls are well insulated. I understood why you don’t want to disclose your location, but I think those walls suggest that winters there can get pretty chilly at times.

[@jinxgirl5]

Gorgeous land, the way those trees seem to soar over everything makes it seem like you're in a fantasy world. Wonder if maybe a big storm hit, caused damage to the house, and it was just too isolated to be worth fixing up? However it came to be that way, gonna be a project and a half getting it cleared away! Congrats you two, looking forward to what the future brings you!

[@msgeek703]

The house doesn't even have "good bones." And with all the water damage, I suspect there's black mold something fierce. Knock it down.

[@sanhara2747]

Only in FL does someone walk around in sandals while looking for rattlesnakes love u guys. I would love to watch some stuff with ur wife’s perspective on all ur antics. Casper has been on my bucket list #1 but now i dont know u all are so far north 😩

[@mariethompson6198]

I enjoyed ur comment,lol. I was,bout to say,go put on ur boots. One love, everytime

[@danielled8665]

Great thing about rattlesnakes; they don't want to bite you and waste their venom, or be stepped on, so they have this nifty thing they do called, you know, rattling. They're really not hard to avoid, most bites are to curious dogs or kids who don't know any better, idiots who harass them without proper training, and people moving logs or scrap that might flip or reach under something and surprise one.

[@TonyRule]

@@danielled8665 *_"people moving logs or scrap that might flip or reach under something and surprise one."_* You mean like at 9:49?

[@16MedicRN]

Looks like water damage to me 😢 Mold, roof caving in... Makes me sad for whoever lost their home.

[@sshepard5222]

Hopefully no asbestos in that house, maybe get that looked at before demolishing it to be sure you demolish it correctly

[@melissarose3702]

I'm so very happy for you guys and all your pets and rescues. What a lovely adventure with so much more to discover! Congratulations! And Bambi quit eating poop! Lol

[@ismewhat1234]

How much to rent me the new abandoned house??? it's a fixer-upper but I'm interested

[@mikemullikin8942]

Plenty of room to do whatever you want to. I keep saying this but I'm just beyond happy for you two! Are you anywhere close to where the wild monkey population is at? It won't surprise me whatever kind of wildlife you find there. You have worked hard for this place. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

[@jansenart0]

This would be an appropriate place to wear a mask.

[@nikki_bluexx]

Property looks amazing with so much potential. I get nervous watching the dogs roam around freely please keep them close.

[@LilretaLadd]

I would be so worried too especially because they aren't big dogs, even the bigger one. I think they need a few big dogs to protect the little ones. lol

[@stevenshepard2381]

You ought to set some trail cams up to see what lives around there.

[@squawkchrisquakergee7180]

You can always convert into a storage area. The support structure looks good. Almost looks like a flood issue

[@barbarastokes321]

Yikes - that abandoned house in woods! Queue the theme from that old movie "Deliverance".

[@CindyHuot]

So with the abandoned house at least you have power & water all the way out from your house!!

[@TheCathie333]

im always worried about a big bird swooping down for my Chihuahua

[@playlistenthusiast]

That Radio/CD player on the floor is a 2008 model and the level of deterioration in the house looks like it's been abandoned almost as long. I'm just speculating though.

[@hatfieldjesse7780]

I was waiting for you find children nursing on pigs

[@bluenetmarketing]

What the heck is that in the tree at 8:51?

[@oogalaboo]

Ooo you could take a drone over your property

[@nicksavage4763]

MIGHT SAVE SOME OF THE lumber, Denail and Reuse ♻️ Copper in wiring and Aluminum and Glass from windows The rest is toast. Lots of Potential there. Congratulations 🎉

[@OneTrueNobody]

Huh. That looks more run-down than the typical ruined house in a Fallout game. Yikes. My first thought was, "An abandoned house? Maybe you can repurpose it as a supply shed or something." But in that condition, I'm not even sure you have the option. Something to look into, in any case.

You said tree house right after you were wondering how to clean up. Reclaimed wood treehouse?

[@wendyprofit1360]

Yes! 🙌🏽

[@McNastyxx95]

You should build a tree house, But I was thinking that amount of space man you would have a killer spot to place an aviary . Keep some honey bees to keep the area pollinated and make some honey. Name it Gator Honey! Slap a sticker on it and sell it as 100% natural honey made by Florida honey bees who live next to alligators. Yes they team up and because of that we are happy to bring to your home table a bottle of Americas most dangerous brand yet! I’m sure if people believe Casper loves you, they’d buy into him crashing into honey hives like Pooh bear.

[@buzz8796]

What is the breed of that beautiful brindle pup. What a good lookin dog

[@Tkidddd]

Looks like a brindle pit, malawa

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

Good video, Very Adventurous 😍😱🐍 tge house was spooky af

[@McNastyxx95]

So I just googled it for some who may not know, 40 acres is about equivalent to 30 american football fields. I guess one way to visualize it. So I could totally understand not exploring all of it after a few months of moving and renovation .

[@Loveofpets]

Love the trees. I wonder what the history is on thar house

[@zerolightness6674]

I had to tell you this! I just saw you on an add for Karen’s in the wild, It was your wife swimming with the alligator. Have you seen this ? I will post the video it’s in very beginning. I will post right❤ after this.

[@Gizathecat2]

Best renovation starts with a bulldozer

[@kitsune0rei]

This may be a weird suggestion, but maybe you could team up with Florida Trailblazer to help explore the property? It would be a fun crossover :)

[@rockdocandlittlebird5974]

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

Did you see anything in your survey about the house? It would have to be listed. Then you can learn more about it

The house doesn't look to old. Could it have been hit by a hurricane at some point?
