I started watching your new video today, 8/24/19, and it’s a follow up on this video so I’m watching this first! Btw, you said it was episode 22 but it’s actually this is episode, 21. Awesome intro music!!! Bekah, your camera work is exceptional!! I love your attention to every detail and how you stop just long enough to get a good look. This house was a wreck. I love the front porch. The cartoon drawings upstairs are really good! I just get a strange vibe from this house though. Kinda creepy. Excellent video! Y’all stay safe out there! 😉🏚
Why do people people leave so much of their life behind? Do you ever investigate? Looked like you might have missed a photo album filled with history in that trashed home. Why do some get pleasure completely tearing things up?
The brick print wallpaper is from the 80's and was just meant for fun to decorate for Christmas who wanted to play up the chimney effect. I think anyway. I was just a kid when we had it, and that's how we used it. I could be wrong though because I would NEVER have expected it to hold up that long, but like they say...they don't make 'em like they use to! :) Great find.
Feels good to know something for once. :) Brought me back to times I should have appreciated more. Makes me wonder if the house we lived in is in that condition if even there at all.
Well done video-y'all work well together. And "wife" has a very nice, slow-and-steady hand with the camera-no sea sickness! :) Thanks for posting this.
I remember the red brick paper sold as a kit to make a "pretend" fireplace at Christmas. At least back in the 50's and 60's you could get it at G.C. Murphy's. :)
NoGenieinBottle ... Yes! I have pictures of my brothers sitting in front of that stuff on Christmas Eve around 1955. Also remember shopping at CG Murphy's in the early to mid 60's as a kid with my mom!
NoGenieinBottle We had one when I was little back in the mid to late 60’s! Probably bought at Murphy’s too, as my dad had a second job there at Christmas time. They were very popular.
I enjoy your videos. You should really trust the young lady with the camera more, though. She has a really good eye for details! You make a good team.I subscribed.
Yes! She does excellent....very detailed, very thorough....perfect timing too, giving us the chance to see just about everything with ease. She's awesome.
Rick and Bekah, don't change the way you do your thing.... I don't care for the toilet shot either, but I always put my hands up so I don't see it, and you forewarn in plenty of time to cover it, so you don't see it!! I also love the sounds you make when you find creepy dolls and other things, don't change a thing. Nice video!! You guys are really getting savy with the old things, and guessing how old it is.... Keep up the good work! I've made a day of it today watching all your video's and I'm not done yet! Peace, and love!!
when you enter a dark room like this house's upper floor, or any dark room if you shine your flashlight striaght above your head toward the ceiling it will light up the room verses shining it striaght ahead. Enjoyed the video, keep them coming.
I love your wife!! She's fantastic at the camera even though you keep bothering her about it. 🤔 I love her soft remarks and she just let's you lead. You are 1 lucky man.
You can imagine a home-cooked smells when people sitting on the front porch drinking sweet tea and Pelican and grow in their Gardens and working in the yard you know the good day good old days
Many times the immediate feeling you get from an abandoned house is the result of the energy the home is putting out caused by the negative or positive experiences people had in those homes over the years. If you don't understand my comments it's probably because my sleeping pill is kicking in and I started babbling, but if you do understand, I stand by my statements. Great video. 😴
It reminds me of a salvage house, where the people would salvage from other places that were being torn down. It creates a house out of mixed eras of styles.
People are so funny. Just because a house is abandoned and in bad shape doesn’t necessarily mean the residents had “sad” times while living there. I have explored “abandoned “houses where I knew the occupants and they had very good times, barbecuing, laughter, children catching fireflies, the smell of dry beans in a crock pot. Yummm there’s nothing like growing up in the South. ❤️
It's hard to tell when this house was built. Normally you can tell by the architectual style and things like windows and trim, but this house doesn't have a clear style. It has elements of Italiente, craftsman, salt box and Queen Anne. The windows are from all different eras too, which seems to be a common thing in the South. Based on the lock plate you showed the close-up of, plus some of the trim, I would guess it was built in the late 1800s. The pillars on the porch where you went in a typical of the craftsman era, but that could have been added later. Or the house was built between the Queen Anne and craftsman eras, which would put it between 1890 and 1910. The house wasn't very well constructed and was likely built by the owners themselves using plans drawn by themselves or someone that knew a little about architecture but was not a pro.
I'm going to fast forward from now on whenever you get near a bathroom...is't disgusting and you just keep the camera on it for awhile. Also that noise when you find certain things is....annoying. I'm sorry...just saying. Otherwise, interesting video, as usual.
I live in Alabama so does anybody know the town at where this house is? And, the first time a spider crawls up his leg then he might consider boots and long pants.
There used to be a smoke house in the back where they raised meat and also there's a water well back there covered up by the weeds that they used because there was no running water in the house
+Kiara Spelce so do you think it was abandoned in the 70s? Did you ever go visit it when your family visited there ? This is amazing. You're the first person to ever recognize a house and know people that lived in it. So glad you commented.
+Kiara Spelce I used to live about 2 minutes down the road from this house. My parents still do on the same road this one is. Right across the road from the cedar mill.
Very well done video. From some of the old mining towns in Nevada where I saw very similar doorknob and key plates I would guess 1870's for that house. Very morose and hard to imagine any happy conclusion of residence at that sad location. Thank-You for posting.
Leviathan61 Looked like a cobweb or string with something shiny hanging of it and the sun hitting it just right along with the wind blowing it. I could actually see the web or string too...most likely a web.
you guys are awesome!!!! keep the explores comming ... love love love you to and ur passion for exploring the mystories and clues these once cherished homes have a story to tell if only them walls could talk!!
Thanks for the entertainment Bekah and Rick. Its the best videos, i've seen in my whole entire life. I just love everything you find. Especially the house from the old lady back in 1971 with her pictures upstairs and the Skippy peanut butter jar. The old Sears magazine were spooky too! It was really bone chilling. Rick, make sure to be real careful when you're walking on those beams in the attic. It's dangerous! About the house in #68, i don't really think it's a genuine Ritz Crackers box from the sixties. Back then, the Ritz crackers were manufactured by Christie's Company and they were bought out by Nabisco brand in the 90's. Thanks for everything. Take care guys. John from Montreal.
Exploring with Rick & Bekah Thanks for responding, Rick. I know you're very busy in your research. I've just started looking recently at some of your videos, but i look forward to seeing each and everyone of them. Much better than all the sci-fi crap and all that daytime soap dramas i've seen so far. I haven't watched television in 10 years, but i love TH-cam better. I'm pretty sure that there's alot of houses up here around Montréal, Canada too. Keep up the good work and watch out for the joists and the beams up in the attics. Take care, Rick. I'm on Facebook.
Cool old place. Not all toilets have the date stamped on them, but a lot of them do. Margaret Becker is a Christian rock singer who had twenty-one No. 1 Christian radio hits. She released her first album in 1987. Debbie Gibson is an American singer-songwriter who also released her debut album in 1987. I'd never heard of either one of them until today.
This channel is GREAT! I feel like I'm really there exploring with the two of you. I admire the video quality because it is hyper detailed. Rick, I really appreciate your enthusiasm when you come across spectacular finds. Bekah, I love your input about what items could be. Please keep it going! I live vicariously through you!
I can't stand how he pays no attention to her. He will ask her a question and interrupt her when she is answering. She will be talking to him and he will just point something out that has nothing to do with what she's saying. When she is saying something he will never let her finish her sentence without talking over her.
You guys always find such cool places. My fiance hates going into old buildings with me lol she likes walking around outside but shes not a fan at all of spiders, creepy crawlers, etc so getting her to go inside is like a general giving a speech before a large battle
That round brown dining table looks just like the one my grandmother had in the late 1950's to early 1960's. Hers had a middle leaf in it. It also had a matching hutch, ( China cabinet without doors with a two door cabinet on the bottom ). it kind of looked similar to the one on the Andy Griffith show but it didn't have a edge to keep things from falling off the shelves. I ended up getting it when during my marriage in about 1984. I ended up having to trade it for part of my rent in 2001. it still had 3 matching chairs. My husband and I had split up. He didn't pay any child support. I had 5 kids to see about. I had surgery and could not work for 3 months. So, although it broke my heart, I had to trade the set and some other things so I could house my kids.
Love this video too, when I lived in Florida, I got into some old campers that were repossessed and being sold as is.. they were in horrid condition.. I'd pick up coins I found... I would do that in abandoned houses but I never found coins... I did learn a lot about the brick house in my home town, after the woman died, her son took everything of value and left stuff behind.. books mostly.. I couldn't let that stuff rot away, I took some things out of there, I know it was stealing but it was just going to waste.. Other than the books I found something really nice thrown outside the house, a frozen food knife.. guess it was in the kitchen area, looked brand new still it was still shiny and sharp... it was like a saw blade. Mostly with that house I took photos, I stayed on the first floor because the second floor creeped me out... for one I walked up the second set of stairs and there were cracks in the walls so I could see outside... there were dressers and stuff like that.. some leaning against the wall.. now they've been pushed into the basement along with old records,boxes.. books... they pushed the old furniture into the hallway and into the basement... I didn't see any spray paint.. possibly because the people who do come here don't really know it's here until they walk the dirt road...
Dang, you guys really get around! For a second I thought this might be the house where Forrest Gump's friend Jenny lived. Then I remembered that was torn down. I've been considering moving to Alabama recently, probably Southwest Alabama, and there are tons and tons of old 19th century homes for sale there. Most are quite cheap too. Up north they get tend to get torn down.
Exploring with Rick & Bekah, My grandparents used to live in the sticks of Brewton, AL and man was it hot there! Last time I was there was in May of 2001 and I darn near passed out from the heat. That was where I had encountered a abandoned house right down the road in 1970. The house was pretty trashed but was cool to explore. My grandparent's house was pretty interesting too. It was nothing but a homemade, cozy little shack, Little House on the Prairie style, no modern plumbing and the family cemetery right across the street with relatives dated as far back as 1803, which I found to be my great, great, great, great grandma. Some plots were so old they didn't even have dates. It's an old Indian cemetery as a lot of my relatives...including my grandma, were full Cherokee. Right next to the cemetery was the family owned church. The cemetery used to be called, Old Wildfork Indian Cemetery. Today it's called, Pleasant Hill Cemetery. I find old cemeteries and genealogy fascinating as well as old abandoned houses.
You two are very sweet together so I subscribed & I’m gonna watch all your videos. Always be so sweet to each other because in life you really only need that one best friend & partner to get through life with & make it all worth something 💗💗
Nice find. seems that they kinda lived in a mess when they were there. doors and floor bawds will creak in a old home. and seeing now one had really been in there the floors and doors are gonna do as they please.
Not an early 19th century house as that would be in the early 1800's. This house has materials not used back then before the Industrial revolution, such as ornate door and window trim , even if poorly applied, or bead board, which is the basic wall structure under the sheetrock. this house dates to about 1910, with the 3 part window sash and horizontal door panels. start with 4 piles. One to donate, one to burn such as the modern furniture that has no market, one for building materials and materials, and one for sellables on the restoration market. Put on a new roof, fix the spongy holes in the floor, call in an electrician and get busy working on it! I saved a house in much worse shape that is not worth over $1.2 m, but it's in a neighborhood everyone wants to go to
Firstly love your weird noises . You guys are amazing. Bec love your sweeping videoing brilliant work. Never miss a thing love you guys. Mrs Australia International world 👠
Great explore as always! I really appreciate how you guys go through every part of the houses! Everything is perfect with all your explores! I would say this house is probably anywhere from the late 1800s up to the 1920s. Just a guess. I'm sure there was a room or 2 added later on as in most houses, but the original part looked pretty old.
I remember when (roughly 2002) when those "Drinking Jars" came out. There was a 1/2 case of them on the floor. I seriously think they had a Chimney fire, & that sealed the fate of living there. Someone ripped out the Insert, (where you spotted the Coin Magazine) (I have a few very old Coin mags 1960s) It appears they somehow snuffed it before it went into the walls, but the family would have been "smoked out" if they tried any fires after. They were so poor they resolved to turning junk into furniture, like the TV Cabinet-turned-into-Book-case. & the funky knobs. I always wondered why ppl there put their Chesterfields out on the Porch. Must be too hot inside. Either that or they put old Automobile seats out front instead of Lawn furniture.
I came here after watching your video from yesterday. I think the house was built in the late 1800's judging from the architecture. The Star Trek thirty year anniversary magazines are collectible and that's probably why there was a whole box of them. Someone may have bought them as an investment to sell later on. The cartoon characters on the wall were kind of odd, but someone was quite good. Was that a chalk drawing of the car at 35:35? It looked like they used old chalkboards as wall paneling. Really cool explore! I really like how you two go slowly so we can see the details.
The home has a very odd form when you view it from the side, but it looks to me like the house started out as a two story I-house, with 4/4 windows and wider shiplap siding. Looks though the house was later modified during the early 20th century when Arts and Crafts style elements were introduced when the second floor was extended over the front porch to look like a story and a half bungalow, a second layer of narrow clapboard siding was put over the original in places, some of the windows were replaced with Craftsman style 3/1 sashes, and eve brackets added to make the house look like a bungalow.
Don't worry , they all do it . people request to see what is in the toilet . Old fridge is the other one with that nasty stench and loss of appetite for a week...? Ah . by the way..., she dose good shots with the camera !
old farmhouse with the chimmy on the side property 1865 to 1890s my guess. brickwork looks like late 1800s old wallpaper looks like mid 1800s. old civil war house is my guess maybe be wrong. 1865. civil war houses has old brick chimmys on side of their hpuses.
If the back of the toilet had the lid on it ,you can usually find a date under it. The house Had a very dark creepy feel to it. But it was very funny upstairs with the door squeak and you guys jumped
FYI....get a good picture of moldings around the doors and windows of these old places. That will give you a clue as to the age. From looking at what I could see and the outside architecture ...it is definitely late 1800's. I enjoy your videos.
Rick if you collect coins like you say, you should Check the couch's for money! The drawing on the walls was done very well! I sub'd ya and rang the bell! Please, You need a mask/bandanna! you can still talk through it! Peace!
I laugh each time you show the toilets. My wife and I have been watching your videos, (New Subscribers to your channel). It is really kind of slow feeling when Bekah doesn't go with you on these videos. Like the time she didn't wish to walk in the "Wet Grass". Don't blame her, but maybe you need to get your wife some waterproof boots. Perhaps something that may also protect her from stepping on a nail. I know first hand that hurts like ****! Anyway, love the videos, especially when you locate a doll which "Didn't Make It". a highlight of my day. My wife and I always laugh at the sounds you make when you see a doll or a dump in the toilet. Always good for a laugh!
I find it really sad to know that people were still living here 10 years ago when there was clearly trash from decades ago. it's like they didn't even try to make the place livable
Camera is a little bit to bright but it's ALSO a little to fast to see stuff sorryy GUYS but I'm only saying what I feel love ya. Obviously this is older so nothing can be done now lol

I love your enthusiasm! You both work together very well and we appreciate your steady hand, great job! Keep 'em coming!
Thank you :)) glad you enjoy our videos! We have a lot of fun doing this and never knew so many people would be watching them.
Why do people people leave so much of their life behind? Do you ever investigate? Looked like you might have missed a photo album filled with history in that trashed home. Why do some get pleasure completely tearing things up?
We do investigate at times. Not always though.

Good to know about the wallpaper, I was wondering about that. Thanks!
Feels good to know something for once. :) Brought me back to times I should have appreciated more. Makes me wonder if the house we lived in is in that condition if even there at all.
If you watch Scrooged, Frank Cross' assistant had that in her apartment. :)
ksero1000 oh really ☺
I love this house s
Well done video-y'all work well together. And "wife" has a very nice, slow-and-steady hand with the camera-no sea sickness! :)
Thanks for posting this.
You can almost feel the desperation of the family that lived there.very sad.
That old paper brick use to be used a lot in the late 60's early 70's at Christmas time as a background for trees or presents
And Christmas school concerts.
I remember the red brick paper sold as a kit to make a "pretend" fireplace at Christmas. At least back in the 50's and 60's you could get it at G.C. Murphy's. :)
I love that Christmas brick wallpaper, it is so cool!!

Glad you like candy !

Yes! She does excellent....very detailed, very thorough....perfect timing too, giving us the chance to see just about everything with ease. She's awesome.
Typical man, he gives her the camera, but then insists on her doing it his way, haha.
She Does have a good eye, and is so soft spoken..lt gives her focus shots a nice vibe..
she is his wife
Thanks for noticing. :)
enjoyed your exploring style ..interesting old house..keep them coming!
Rick and Bekah, don't change the way you do your thing....

Thank you very much ! You’ll see our videos evolve a lot over three years time. :) in my opinion the newer ones get better. Glad to have you with us !
when you enter a dark room like this house's upper floor, or any dark room if you shine your flashlight striaght above your head toward the ceiling it will light up the room verses shining it striaght ahead. Enjoyed the video, keep them coming.

Indeed I am very blessed.
I like her soft gentle voice.
Love watching your videos. Y'all are the best.
Yeah I was born in Alabama I love the old style houses are really interesting
I like the interaction. Bekah is very mellow and cool. Good job!
need to check out the Blue Jeans some are worth a mint
Love Bekah your eye for detail and youre so patient and sweet with Rick
Neat place. Lots of stuff/junk left. Good find.
Thank you for very nice explore! The opening and closing shots were very surreal.
You can imagine a home-cooked smells when people sitting on the front porch drinking sweet tea and Pelican and grow in their Gardens and working in the yard you know the good day good old days

Suzanne Revero special sound effects. I think it's just adorable and just his way.
That’s what I do. Seriously 😐
I live in Alabama so does anybody know the town at where this house is? And, the first time a spider crawls up his leg then he might consider boots and long pants.
Newspaper was from Huntsville.
ok thanks Golin, guess I missed it.
R.J. Bama wish they had more abandoned buildings in Mobile, AL on TH-cam
R.J. Bama Same, I live in Huntsville and I really wanna know where this is, I LOVE this kind of stuff.
Just drive all over the county almost anywhere. That's where we find them around Huntsville.
What a treasure to see the drawings on the wall!
If these walls could talk I bet they’d be saying.,.”Eh, What’s Up Doc?” Lol
My grandfather and great grandfather both lived in this house as kids
Oh wow really ? What else do you know about this place ?
There used to be a smoke house in the back where they raised meat and also there's a water well back there covered up by the weeds that they used because there was no running water in the house
Very neat. Do you know what road it's on or the town name ?
+Kiara Spelce so do you think it was abandoned in the 70s? Did you ever go visit it when your family visited there ? This is amazing. You're the first person to ever recognize a house and know people that lived in it. So glad you commented.

I think the best part of that house is the drawings on the walls up on the second floor. Those were awesome. They were actually quite amazing. Thanks.

Great video and camera work. Nice find, looks like a guy lived there last. I like your videos, they are always interesting and well done.
p.s. on a side note ...that drawing of the car near the end looks very much like a '62 Chevy...lol....great work as always you 2 !
I like The north east parts of Alabama. And to think this house was once very modern compared to log cabins !
It's hard to believe that kids use to live in that place. Once I bet it was a pretty nice house.
Another impressive video. Some of the furniture my Gram had when I was first born I'm told.
Cool old place. Not all toilets have the date stamped on them, but a lot of them do. Margaret Becker is a Christian rock singer who had twenty-one No. 1 Christian radio hits. She released her first album in 1987. Debbie Gibson is an American singer-songwriter who also released her debut album in 1987. I'd never heard of either one of them until today.
I've seen this place before, but never inside of it. Thanks!
This channel is GREAT! I feel like I'm really there exploring with the two of you. I admire the video quality because it is hyper detailed. Rick, I really appreciate your enthusiasm when you come across spectacular finds. Bekah, I love your input about what items could be. Please keep it going! I live vicariously through you!
Thanks Natasha for the feedback and kind words.
Neat place once upon a time. If occupied 10 or so yrs ago,,then it must of been in bad shape then also. Great job guys!
I can't stand how he pays no attention to her. He will ask her a question and interrupt her when she is answering. She will be talking to him and he will just point something out that has nothing to do with what she's saying. When she is saying something he will never let her finish her sentence without talking over her.
I have an old vintage Grapette bottle from the mid 40's that I found lying in a ditch. The bottles of soda were much smaller back in the day.
You guys always find such cool places. My fiance hates going into old buildings with me lol she likes walking around outside but shes not a fan at all of spiders, creepy crawlers, etc so getting her to go inside is like a general giving a speech before a large battle
Ha Bekah loves going inside. She’s brave. :)
I like that little, wooden corner table on the porch.
I think the brick-patterned decor is what teachers use to decorate a bulletin board.
That round brown dining table looks just like the one my grandmother had in the late 1950's to early 1960's. Hers had a middle leaf in it. It also had a matching hutch, ( China cabinet without doors with a two door cabinet on the bottom ). it kind of looked similar to the one on the Andy Griffith show but it didn't have a edge to keep things from falling off the shelves. I ended up getting it when during my marriage in about 1984. I ended up having to trade it for part of my rent in 2001. it still had 3 matching chairs. My husband and I had split up. He didn't pay any child support. I had 5 kids to see about. I had surgery and could not work for 3 months. So, although it broke my heart, I had to trade the set and some other things so I could house my kids.
Wow what a story. Wish you could have the table in our video ! Thx for sharing
Im from the mobile, ala area these videos are so interesting! Really makes me want to go out and explore
BluestarBray ikr me too! from Daphne
That is cool to go through to find things of old. The drawings were very good.
Love this video too, when I lived in Florida, I got into some old campers that were repossessed and being sold as is.. they were in horrid condition.. I'd pick up coins I found... I would do that in abandoned houses but I never found coins... I did learn a lot about the brick house in my home town, after the woman died, her son took everything of value and left stuff behind.. books mostly.. I couldn't let that stuff rot away, I took some things out of there, I know it was stealing but it was just going to waste.. Other than the books I found something really nice thrown outside the house, a frozen food knife.. guess it was in the kitchen area, looked brand new still it was still shiny and sharp... it was like a saw blade. Mostly with that house I took photos, I stayed on the first floor because the second floor creeped me out... for one I walked up the second set of stairs and there were cracks in the walls so I could see outside... there were dressers and stuff like that.. some leaning against the wall.. now they've been pushed into the basement along with old records,boxes.. books... they pushed the old furniture into the hallway and into the basement... I didn't see any spray paint.. possibly because the people who do come here don't really know it's here until they walk the dirt road...
very good camera work
Another cool explore!
suggestion, have you thought about getting a flood light kit? It might help you get around a
little better in dark places
I just got one shipped in, pretty big, 306 LED, fills the room really well...next video we intend to use it.
Thats great Rick, I look forward to seeing the difference. I really enjoy your videos, keep em coming, Ody Slim
Oh that beautiful quilt blanket....
Dang, you guys really get around!
For a second I thought this might be the house where Forrest Gump's friend Jenny lived. Then I remembered that was torn down. I've been considering moving to Alabama recently, probably Southwest Alabama, and there are tons and tons of old 19th century homes for sale there. Most are quite cheap too. Up north they get tend to get torn down.
It’ll be hot down there. Super hot
Exploring with Rick & Bekah,
My grandparents used to live in the sticks of Brewton, AL and man was it hot there! Last time I was there was in May of 2001 and I darn near passed out from the heat. That was where I had encountered a abandoned house right down the road in 1970. The house was pretty trashed but was cool to explore. My grandparent's house was pretty interesting too. It was nothing but a homemade, cozy little shack, Little House on the Prairie style, no modern plumbing and the family cemetery right across the street with relatives dated as far back as 1803, which I found to be my great, great, great, great grandma. Some plots were so old they didn't even have dates. It's an old Indian cemetery as a lot of my relatives...including my grandma, were full Cherokee. Right next to the cemetery was the family owned church. The cemetery used to be called, Old Wildfork Indian Cemetery. Today it's called, Pleasant Hill Cemetery. I find old cemeteries and genealogy fascinating as well as old abandoned houses.
Ellen Gregory I read the whole thing normal until I got to Jenny and the rest was in forest gump voice 😂
Really cool house.
IF ANYBODY LIVED IN THAT PLACE AFTER 1950 THEIR CRAZY LOOKS LIKE IT WAS BUILT IN 1850
It was too dark without the camera light. It looked like the bones of the house was pretty old. Probably over 100 years old.
Some innovative door nobs in this place, and the one door made to look like a barn door. Cool drawings on the walls
You two are very sweet together so I subscribed & I’m gonna watch all your videos. Always be so sweet to each other because in life you really only need that one best friend & partner to get through life with & make it all worth something 💗💗
Nice find. seems that they kinda lived in a mess when they were there. doors and floor bawds will creak in a old home. and seeing now one had really been in there the floors and doors are gonna do as they please.
what is that noise heard it in other video of yours as well sounds like a puppy snort or something
Not an early 19th century house as that would be in the early 1800's. This house has materials not used back then before the Industrial revolution, such as ornate door and window trim , even if poorly applied, or bead board, which is the basic wall structure under the sheetrock. this house dates to about 1910, with the 3 part window sash and horizontal door panels.
start with 4 piles. One to donate, one to burn such as the modern furniture that has no market, one for building materials and materials, and one for sellables on the restoration market. Put on a new roof, fix the spongy holes in the floor, call in an electrician and get busy working on it! I saved a house in much worse shape that is not worth over $1.2 m, but it's in a neighborhood everyone wants to go to
Firstly love your weird noises .
You guys are amazing.
Bec love your sweeping videoing brilliant work.
Never miss a thing love you guys.
Mrs Australia International world 👠
Back when they made sofa's with real wood, made to last.
Great explore as always! I really appreciate how you guys go through every part of the houses! Everything is perfect with all your explores! I would say this house is probably anywhere from the late 1800s up to the 1920s. Just a guess. I'm sure there was a room or 2 added later on as in most houses, but the original part looked pretty old.
House is at least 100 years old. I wish vandals hadn’t got to it! Great video.
I remember when (roughly 2002) when those "Drinking Jars" came out. There was a 1/2 case of them on the floor.
I seriously think they had a Chimney fire, & that sealed the fate of living there.
Someone ripped out the Insert, (where you spotted the Coin Magazine) (I have a few very old Coin mags 1960s)
It appears they somehow snuffed it before it went into the walls, but the family would have been "smoked out" if they tried any fires after.
They were so poor they resolved to turning junk into furniture, like the TV Cabinet-turned-into-Book-case. & the funky knobs.
I always wondered why ppl there put their Chesterfields out on the Porch. Must be too hot inside. Either that or they put old Automobile seats out front instead of Lawn furniture.
Brad Smith sometimes people would rip the fireplace a part , as long ago people would hide money and valuables in them!
I came here after watching your video from yesterday. I think the house was built in the late 1800's judging from the architecture. The Star Trek thirty year anniversary magazines are collectible and that's probably why there was a whole box of them. Someone may have bought them as an investment to sell later on. The cartoon characters on the wall were kind of odd, but someone was quite good.
Was that a chalk drawing of the car at 35:35? It looked like they used old chalkboards as wall paneling.
Really cool explore! I really like how you two go slowly so we can see the details.
I bet this house was built maybe the 30s or 40s that is really old wall paper.👻
Jodie LooLoo Yes I think u r correct. I am in my 70's and I have seen a lot of wallpaper.
The home has a very odd form when you view it from the side, but it looks to me like the house started out as a two story I-house, with 4/4 windows and wider shiplap siding. Looks though the house was later modified during the early 20th century when Arts and Crafts style elements were introduced when the second floor was extended over the front porch to look like a story and a half bungalow, a second layer of narrow clapboard siding was put over the original in places, some of the windows were replaced with Craftsman style 3/1 sashes, and eve brackets added to make the house look like a bungalow.
Can you show more basements and utility rooms?
I would but we almost never find any basements. There's a ton of rock in the south. Too hard to build one
Ilike how smooth she is with the camera
why do they want to see down the toilet...? or sniff the fridge ?
I guess we're just weird that way.
Don't worry , they all do it . people request to see what is in the toilet . Old fridge is the other one with that nasty stench and loss of appetite for a week...? Ah . by the way..., she dose good shots with the camera !
Thanks !
Keep up the good work guys
old farmhouse with the chimmy on the side property 1865 to 1890s my guess. brickwork looks like late 1800s old wallpaper looks like mid 1800s. old civil war house is my guess maybe be wrong. 1865. civil war houses has old brick chimmys on side of their hpuses.
I can't imagine anyone living in that house, but I guess it's better than sleeping outside.
Lol..Awe he is So respectful, And Special,, always kind. ,So brave, him and his wife.. Miss Becka' l Hello, pals...
I couldn't touch that stuff without gloves. love your videos though
Such a shame when places have been trashed like that. It makes it so much more difficult to interpret .
The house looked dangerous but wasn't that artwork amazing? I do hope they person was able to pursue their art. Thanks for the adventure.
Very talented individual for sure.
I pass this house all the time I have always wandered what was inside! I live close to it
If the back of the toilet had the lid on it ,you can usually find a date under it. The house Had a very dark creepy feel to it. But it was very funny upstairs with the door squeak and you guys jumped
Connie Rose
Hello Connie rose, my name is linda rose 🌹, iam from sunny California. It's nice to meet you 😉.
FYI....get a good picture of moldings around the doors and windows of these old places. That will give you a clue as to the age. From looking at what I could see and the outside architecture ...it is definitely late 1800's. I enjoy your videos.
The big, wooden round tables are pretty.
I LIKED THE DRAWN CARTOONS VERY GOOD
Rick if you collect coins like you say, you should Check the couch's for money! The drawing on the walls was done very well! I sub'd ya and rang the bell! Please, You need a mask/bandanna! you can still talk through it! Peace!
I love the drawings on the wall and that big room.
its really sad to see the condition and know that time only did some of the damage :/
If it was competently intact I would have taken that Dr. Pepper bottle and cleaned it out and used it for something.
Maybe use it for drinking Dr Pepper. :)
Not a bad choice.
RJL738
That and I would've taken the Sun Drop soda bottle too!
great video. Many thanks for sharing
I love looking at the different loos, just be careful❤
You were looking at romance novels and missed a super old Sun Drop Soda bottle, old like the Dr. Pepper one. Cool
Aww sorry.
figgy 709
I know! I saw it and wish they had zoomed in on it.
😎this one came out really good work
I laugh each time you show the toilets. My wife and I have been watching your videos, (New Subscribers to your channel). It is really kind of slow feeling when Bekah doesn't go with you on these videos. Like the time she didn't wish to walk in the "Wet Grass". Don't blame her, but maybe you need to get your wife some waterproof boots. Perhaps something that may also protect her from stepping on a nail. I know first hand that hurts like ****! Anyway, love the videos, especially when you locate a doll which "Didn't Make It". a highlight of my day. My wife and I always laugh at the sounds you make when you see a doll or a dump in the toilet. Always good for a laugh!
I’m glad you enjoy our goofy moments. We’re just having fun. A lot of people can’t stand it. Appreciate your feedback Ray.
I find it really sad to know that people were still living here 10 years ago when there was clearly trash from decades ago. it's like they didn't even try to make the place livable
ahahaha the name of one cassette was Debbie Gibson
Camera is a little bit to bright but it's ALSO a little to fast to see stuff sorryy GUYS but I'm only saying what I feel love ya. Obviously this is older so nothing can be done now lol
Yeeeeah I think this was 4 years ago or so. We were terrible in the beginning. Never were pro but I understand this one is rubbish ha.
Oh, Rick has on a wedding ring!! The comment, "We don't drink coffee everybody," makes me think you're LDS.
Ha. We just rarely drink it. Not a favorite. I like French vanilla best. So does Bekah.
I love your show guys
Thank you Amrit.
To buy: go to county title holder (assessor's) & c who owns it! Its a fixed r-upper!
