When winding anything clockwork , older watches and clocks , my father told me you gently count the number of times you wind to fully wound, and from then on each time you need to wind ,wind it one revolution less . In this way , there is no strain on the mechanism .
When you TMI about your teeth swimming, you actually blushed a little. You are such a nice looking young man, great husband, father and entrepreneur. I found you back in the beginning of the Potters house. A history buff, a preserver of lost treasures, you truly have a way to spark the memories of us Sr Citizens. As a grandmother, I love to show my grandkids what I played with or used when I was a kid. I had a doll called Baby Secret, a lot like the Chatty Kathy with the string you would pull to have her speak in a whisper. I think late 50's or early 60's. She was dressed in Red. If you find a Baby Secret out there, let me know. Good video today....
@@CuriosityIncorporated You could have used the "hole in the basement floor" since the pipe has been leaking there anyway. Think traditional Canadian facilities used in a bygone era.
A plethora of fascinating items. I love it when you share historical tidbits about the items you're selling. I wish you great success with the auction.
Wow! Amazing amount of great things - I hope it all sells well. You made me burst out laughing when you shared your “”TMI” moment! It’s all good among friends! 😀👍🏼
Way to go Alex. I think you should mention the auction date more often. Pulling out that Picasso at the end was really great. I will be rooting for you.
@Deborah Shaw It's a fake vase. The face on the vase has only one eyebrow while the picture in the book has two eyebrows. He knows it better that's why the seller of the vase and he himself has not gone to Christie's.
If that basement does not have a sump pump, you should consider one. The moisture in the corner of the basement is never a good sign. It may not flood, or may not flood often, by risk it all. An ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. By the way, I lost some old Waylon Jennings reel-to-reel tapes and an old reel-to-reel player to a flooded basement. I had an Uncle that worked in music for a bit. I still have one of his surviving 45s.
Funny when they started jack hammering and Alex was standing in the painting room Clint Eastwoods gun was pointed at your head Alex😆 I understand; it would drive me crazy with that noise.💕
Enjoyed. Great items for the auction. The Picasso vase is exciting. The Land Rover was a surprise for the auction. Wishing you the best of luck on auction day.
I don't know if you get The Repair Shop TV programme over in Canada, it is a UK production from the BBC. They restore old items which the public bring in, that have a special meaning to the owner. The remote car you have they restored and got it working, the key was a man refuelling the car. They had found an old advert for the car and they made a replica key as the original had been lost. They also fixed an old clocking on clock and got it fully functional. Very interesting programme if you every get to see it. Good luck with the auction.
That was a lucky coincidence of your old cast iron sewer was broken and didn't cause any damage to your basement. Getting it fixed with no ill effects was fantastic. 😎👍
Great post!. I can't wait for your building posts. You and your family are very special. But I have been watching your niece Allysah's posts but noticed that she has stopped posting. Please tell me she is ok because she and Peter are a breath of fresh air.
Such a difference from when you announced that there was a stop to the new building. It is quite a milestone to see all your progress. Best wishes to you and I hope you
@@nancymontgomery8897 Its probably what he meant to say. But when your ad libbing into a camera...sometimes things get rushed and come out wrong. I'm also Canadian and it's a common expression.
Go outside and take a wee when no one is looking. Glad they got the pipe fixed and you can relive yourself again. Love the stuff you are selling! You are quite the business man and personality! A double barrel black powder..impressive! So knowledgeable! You really research and learn.
You should consider buying a handheld metal detector; a pinpointer. You can find metal in piles by poking around or sweeping it across. Also useful for finding studs and metal pipe in walls.
I think Mary's pot that has a rounded bottom and sets upside down may have been originally intended to be a hanging planter. I picture it hanging in side bent wood or wrought iron. Beautiful stuff. Love the black pot.
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve watched one of your programs. I does not seem that long ago. I guess life got in the way. . So, i am slowly catching up. I haven’t even cheated to see what the building looks like or what it looks like inside. So I gotta say, I’m excited!!!
The mystery clock is from the 1960's my mom and dad had one. It originaly had gold painted diamond shapes eteched in the glass to mark the numbers on the face. It was a wonderful clock and lasted right up till the 1990's when some one knocked it off the table and broke the glass.
Basements! There’s always a surprise. Glad you found the broken pipe before it became a real problem. Love watching the progress! Wishing you all the best during your auction.
What a neat collection of stuff at the auction! Just one little thing, that is not the USS Enterprise. I first noticed the shape and the number NCC-2000, the Enterprise is NCC-1701. Then I decided to rewind the video and noticed the RIGHT name is actually ON the box! This is the USS Excelsior, briefly captained by Hikaru Sulu (of the original Star Trek). So you might want to have that relabeled ;)
@@CuriosityIncorporated ??? I could have sworn I'd seen the Picasso pot in previous episodes. Must be having de ja vous. I think it will make £30,000 british pounds. Grew up watching Anitques Roadshow on telly and whoever I was watching it with we would compete on guessing how much the experts would value items at. Fun game.
spinny2010 He made an episode of it, he just hadn’t purchased it the first time he saw it, due to the previous owner of it not being sure if they wanted to sell it or not. Turns out they wanted to sell it!
@@spinny2010 But I have noticed so many differences in between the vase and the picture in the book. One simple and easy to spot is the the eyebrow on the vase one line and the picture in the book has two eyebrow lines. Did anyone noticed it or Alex deleted all those comments...
lots of work. Here in Tx the water lines are so close to the surface, there's no cold water all summer. The pipes are naturally heated by the 100degree + weather.
One of my favorite parts of you efforts is watching the online auctions as you sit and see your stuff being sold. We get to hear you say what you have in a particular object and then see what it sells for. Sometimes you get burnt but other items surprise even you and make up for it. That's the one thrilling part about an auction. No one can predict which item a bidder or bidders will go crazy for or how bad they want it. I've said before, I have copd. I leave the house about once a month. If I walk outside in the summer, I just can't breathe that air. So, watching channels like yours brings the outside world in to those who can't get out. I and many others appreciate your efforts. Remember in your store and new shop to switch to LED bulbs! My electric bill dropped from $300 to $240 a month after I switched every single light bulb inside and out. Dimmer bulbs in the dining room and in the ceiling fans really help set a great atmosphere whether you needed max lighting or just enough to have an evening dinner with family and friends. So in your store, where lights burn all the time, you'd save rather then sending that check to the electric company!

Ugh broken cast iron pipes😭 We found out right before Christmas last year that all the cast iron pipes in our foundation would need to be repaired all the repairs and getting our house back to normal afterwards has cost almost $40,000😭😭😭 an absolute nightmare
Good luck Alex at the auction and I hope you do very well $$$.I love watching what your up to and I find it really relaxing and it makes me think to slow down and appreciate items from the past and the rich history behind those items.Hope all is very well with your family .Look forward to see how the auction go for you.🇨🇦🙏😎❤
Don't worry if your teeth are swimming as long as your eyeballs aren't floating. Also you may want to consider earplugs to keep anything from dribbling out due to overflow.

Thank you so much
How many cars do you own? I'm curious, It seems like I've seen you drive a handful of different antique cars.
I hope people realize how hard you work. Fun work , but you are constantly busy. Thanks for taking us along ,can't always be easy.
Best videos and good mix of adventures....my favorite channel
Love you all....wonderful family and friends

@@CuriosityIncorporated Could also go to the garage and raise the door an inch or so. Gotta be creative when construction is on going.
I can't believe you got the picasso! Wow!!!!!!
I know!!! I was shocked !!!
Having it and the book are a great combo!
That was such a pleasant surprise 👍
@Deborah Shaw Alex responded to someone else regarding the Picasso, and said he bought it yesterday.
A plethora of fascinating items. I love it when you share historical tidbits about the items you're selling. I wish you great success with the auction.
Best of luck on the auction, Alex. I hope you make a TON of money!!!!! Beautiful items.

@@graceg751 He has talked about it before, there are like 100+ or so of the same vase that were made, and authenticated by Picasso.

@Nicky L I wonder if he would have time to watch, he is always on the go. I noticed some of the repair shop is on you tube.
enjoyed visiting your store and picking up a few items that brought back fun memories
Best of luck at the auction and the future of your build.
The store looks great, so exciting watching things move forward.
I’ve always enjoyed hearing construction noise, that means progress.
I remember when we had to have our sewer main replaced! It was a very frantic run to the nearest boat launch that had a outhouse!!
As soon as I saw the box of keys I heard, "Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates, you gotta brand new key." ,in my head.
I remember singing that!
Wow, that chicken sandwich 🥪 looked awesome!!!! Think I am drowning in my own drool!!!
You are really watching your vision unfold before your eyes. One thing I can say, is you are never stop making business deals. Things happen.
Yay! Can’t wait for the live feed from this auction! 😍👏👏👏👏
I hope you doing very well at the auction so that you can put it towards your building God was you all I love watching your videos
Lucky they caught that broken pipe would have caused more damage later
That was a lucky coincidence of your old cast iron sewer was broken and didn't cause any damage to your basement. Getting it fixed with no ill effects was fantastic. 😎👍
not even a bill, since they were already going to have to replace nearly the same amount to do the intended modification.
I so love following your adventures!! Thank you!
Good luck with the auction!!! 💖👏👍👏💖
All your content warms my heart
Great post!. I can't wait for your building posts. You and your family are very special. But I have been watching your niece Allysah's posts but noticed that she has stopped posting. Please tell me she is ok because she and Peter are a breath of fresh air.
Yes she has just been busy with her new job :)
Best of luck with the auction, Alex!
Thanks for letting us into your videos they are so exciting to watch Rob and Bev we live in Medford Oregon USA
Loved seeing the 71 Land Rover again. Beautiful!
That Splitty VW is between 1945 and 1949 since the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in 1949..
Great that is still works!
Such a difference from when you announced that there was a stop to the new building. It is quite a milestone to see all your progress. Best wishes to you and I hope you
Have continued success!
Another reason to like you...you are a Johnny on the spot guy! Thank you.
My old clockwork car wasn’t working so I used a few drops of good old 3in1 oil and it worked again!!
I’m from Australia 🇦🇺...I’ve never hear that expression “My teeth are swimming”...lol 🤣🤣🤣
As A Brit I heard it but a long while ago unsure of the origins of the saying. :)
There is a similar one - my eyeballs are floating.
He actually left part of it out. The expression is "my back teeth are floating".
@@doranamatto4204 THAT'S HOW MY DAD USED TO SAY IT.

AND one can use a toilet without flushing it right away...............
The “mystery clock” is identical to the one my grandparents had on their TV while I was growing up. Nice to see!
My stepdad has a working one. It's really cool!
If you still have the opportunity, replace ALL of the cast iron pipe NOW. It will be worth every penny. Ask me how I know...
Wow you have and selected priceless treasures for your auction. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!
Great items. I wish you a whole lot of luck .❤❤❣❣
Wow Alex you really are auctioning some really great items. I just love Mary's and Picasso's works. Just gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing ♥♥♥
You probably have a lot tied up in all that excess stock, its good to turn it over and make room for fresh stock. Hope the sale goes well
Very interesting to see the processes.
Very nice auction items...good luck!
You should consider buying a handheld metal detector; a pinpointer. You can find metal in piles by poking around or sweeping it across. Also useful for finding studs and metal pipe in walls.
Great idea ! Take it along when you visit these old farms and junk yards, etc. One of your children could be the "operator".
Good luck on the auction, im sure you will do well!
Thanks Dave!
Where was all that stuff!?!? How can the store still be so full when you pulled so much out! Hope you have a GREAT sale!
...because Alexander keeps
on buying
Didn't you know? His store is a TARDIS In disguise.
@@animeangel1983 That's it!! I knew it had to be something magic! Haha
Alex,I do love your videos, they are soo informative and educational,thank you..God bless you..be safe..😘😊
I'm really diggin' this video! ;)
I'm happy there is progress!
I’d really love to buy the Marty Robbins album!
Thanks, Alex for another great video! I LOVE spending part of my day with you!
I found the same poster online from 1962. Thanks for sharing
Always zooming past the Star Wars hot toys or sideshow stuff that I want to see. Good luck with the auction.

Family is the most important thing, florida missing all our Candida 😅 great video as always,thx
If I was rich I would get that Picasso vase. It is just my style, even though Picasso usually isn’t.
Biggest understatement? Think I will bring out a couple of cameras, I have some of those. Lol.😀😎🤩😊
My family loves going north to Canada. We are sad that the border is closed. We are looking forward to visiting when the border opens again.

I would love to have the old phones. I've been collecting the.
First, checking to see whats up. I have never seen your basement, interesting.
Oh boy, things are moving forward! Good for you!
oh the post mans hat ,like my dads . Hope I can figure out how to bid .
It’s the whole uniform:)

Don't worry if your teeth are swimming as long as your eyeballs aren't floating. Also you may want to consider earplugs to keep anything from dribbling out due to overflow.
Run, Alex, run...
