  • Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► / brosofdecay
    Check out our Canadian Friends Channel ► / unchartedtravel
    This journey is going to lead us deep into the frozen wastelands of Canada, the temperature during this exploration reached well below the freezing point. In this barren landscape far away from civilization the ward family used to live, it was a family of 3, Mister Ross, his wife Petra, and their loving daughter Diana. Mister Ross had a lifelong passion for clock making and the remains of his business are still present inside the house, he was a true craftsman and made numerous masterpieces from start to finish. Petra on the other hand was a housewife and cared for her family all her life. They were a postcard family, and it is to be seen throughout the house! It has been a long time since the house has been lived in, Diana her parents passed away around the turn of the millennium, and this left Diana alone who used to always live with her parents, after living here alone for around a decade her physical conditions was not well enough anymore to live in such a cold and remote part of Canada. At this point in time, she resides in a care home far away from the house and is unable to ever visit it again.
    All their memories are locked inside, acting like a portal that will give us a glips into their former lives.

    Those glass items your friend showed you.. those are called insulators. They capped the rods the wires were wrapped onto then stretched out to the next pole. LOL and the decade for the kitchen is early to mid 1980s... I grew up in a kitchen just like it The hanging miniature statue... that's a lamp!! An oil lamp. It would light up and oil would perpetually drip along the black strings around the statue. They were VERY polular in the late 1970 - 80s. LOL the carpet on the toilets... goodness... I laughed SO hard... those are simply lid covers . Made like carpet, yes, usually came in a 3-piece matching set. A cover for the tank lid, one for the seat lid and a rug that was cut to fit around the toilet base. For decoration. That vacuum cleaner is a Kuby, looks like a late 70s upright. I love the new filming style, showing each other, having fun. Awesome work Guys!

    The lamp @ 49:10 is an oil lamp. They were popular in the 1960s through 1970s. The woman is not in a cage -- those wires surrounding her dripped small droplets of oil that slowly rolled down into a reservoir at the bottom, then back up, again. They were also rather dangerous as they could catch on fire -- probably why they are no longer common. Also, the toilet seats have rugs/cushions on top because it was common for smokers to sit on the toilet and smoke, read, etc while not needing to use the toilet. PAM is a common vegetable oil spray that greases pans for cooking/baking. Its rather unhealthy compared to butter, but too many people still use it as its easer than greasing with butter.

Because it was the first mechanical clock that didn't need daily winding. With the clock's slow torsion pendulum it only needed/needs to be wound once a year.

    LOVE both of your dialects, it's irresistibly cute! Anyway....that vacuum cleaner is not from the 1960's, it's from the mid-to late 1980's; the ones from the early to mid-1960's were tan color trim, and in the late 1960's, it was olive green and they were smaller. They have lifetime warranties, too, so....quite expensive, just like that Lincoln Continental (looks like a 2006 or newer) in the garage, but they're very high quality and will out-clean all other vacuums...it shampoos carpet, polishes floors, converts to a tank with a hose, etc., almost like a Transformer, lol. I used to be a Kirby sales/service technician, and they're still manufactured here in Ohio, but the new ones are very world class, almost robotic, they push and pull back by themselves; I have 3 myself. It is not unusual to see these vacuums still in daily use after 40+ years; they're damn near indestructible, built like a military tank. Great video, guys!

Can't wait to see more of your videos from Canada. Stay safe and well... dear bros.

    This is such a fun video, I enjoyed it so much! Lesley, you surprised and impressed my husband when you climbed up into the attic. He called it a "rat run" and said it was for easy access to wiring and other structural things, and he really enjoyed seeing the trusses and the way they were built, even though he was very disappointed that you didn't look closely to see if the builders had signed it or written something on the wood. I had to laugh at him, and I will tease him about it 😂Danny's reactions to everything are priceless. I just love how open you guys are. Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary about what was obviously a happy, warm little home. There were so many things I recognized, but what really stood out for me were the slides. My dad loved slides, he would get educational slide sets from the library in Rochester NY and every evening for a half hour before bedtime we would have a history lesson. You name it, we saw slides about it. Wonderful memories ❤️ thank you so much 😘😘

    The cabinet with the coats, the door probably has a colored , what we Americans called plexi glass. It's really a very heavy plastic. They used it a lot in decor in the 1970's. The kitchen decor, wall paper and such is a 1970's thing. I grew up in the 70's. We had some of that in my mother's kitchen.

    Carpeted toilet covers and rugs around the toilet were fashionable in Canada and the USA until the 1990s. Since then, they're considered gauche.

    Hello from New Mexico, USA! The hanging lamp in the living room with the woman in the middle is actually and oil lamp. My parents have the same one. When plugged in, drops of oil run down the strands that enclose the women. From back in the 70's. The covered toilets are a decor set that comes with the cover for the toilet, a rug for your feet and a throw rug.

    The toilets have a lid cover that usually matches the rug in front of the toilet and a rug for the tub. It also serves to lessen the sound of the lid being raised and banged against the back of the toilet.

      Oil came down the spindles. Very contemporary from the 80's. A little tacky for my taste but to each his own. Many of our neighbors had these hanging in their picture windows lit in the evening. The house is so 70's, 80's. I am familiar with their draperies, wall paper coverings. As our house was quite similar in those days. All stereo, and tv equipment was top quality. These people had a few bucks. Especially with the Lincoln Continental in the garage. Very impressive.
