Someone was definitely living in that unit.
Thats what I thought!
Poor woman if she had to live in there.
I think so, too.
@@debralpateart8862 some people do it to save up money to move into a legit place. Better than being on the streets for a while I guess. Search TH-cam, you'll see videos of people who are intentionally living in storage units so as not to have to pay high rents. It's illegal but people are doing it. They run electricity off of car batteries for lighting, use a small microwave, a heat plate to boil water for coffee and tea. Some run extensions cords from outlets at the facility if it's an indoor storage facility, but they risk getting caught when they do that. It is, apparently, a thing.

Yeah but eating tomatoes out of the tin?
She is so sweet, never an unkind word, and is exited by simple stuff.
She would love me then
Always the optimist. May your life be filled with lemonade and diamonds.
Great saying!
Great unit for $5.00, had to laugh at you unrolling paper towel for that treasure tube.
Renee sure had us on that one . . was anxiously waiting for the nice treasure inside the paper towels 😆🤣
Sad when you think someone was probably living in there juxtaposed with their sweet picture that says "Scatter Smiles." Painful times for many people.
I don't know... Been one step away from the street more than once. NEVER thought of a storage unit. I think it is pretty resourceful. Not ideal, but safer than the street, I think. We (as a society) need to get more creative about spaces that might help the homeless. Buying up old storage units and installing shared shower facilities, bathrooms and laundry rooms might help a lot of folks.
So sad seeing so many lockers that people where clearly living in. I buy lockers in FL and since the lock down I have seen more and more of them. Stay safe and healthy 🙏💖🙏
Oh how sad. 😢. Yeah I thought somebody look like they were living there too! definitely start praying more for all these homeless people. ~ Texas
I never knew that people lived in them too. Stay safe and well x
State of Florida is the only state I know that allows it. Most if not all other states have made it illegal.
Poverty
@@paulanull8731 Florida poverty
Someone has been living in that unit.
I thought the same thing.
Me too
Me three🙄
Yep
That is one of the saddest sights I've seen on a storage locker reveal. I feel horribly for the person who was obviously using that as a makeshift home...the photo book near the wall with the infant's picture on front made me tear up.
Where is this person? How long have they been gone?😥
Such an interesting unit...deffinatly someone's home...hopefully they are doing well..
I agree with all the other people who say that it looks like someone was living there.
Home sweet home for someone sadly.
all those meds.....anxiety/depression , poor soul whoever that was
Maybe she's doing better now and didn't want to revisit the past - hope springs eternal : )
I thought the same thing when I heard what medications they were😢. And gabapentin is used for neuropathy among other things.
@@reneeparrish5176 yes it is, I’ve been on it for years neuropathy, I hope whoever’s taking them is taking care. You can’t stop abruptly with that, bad side effects. Sending prayers, 😞🙏🏻
Wow. For $5.00 what a deal. Glad you are having sooo much fun. Laughed a lot while watching. You put a smile on my face every time. Thanks so much.
Renee I just adore you. You seem so sweet and lovable. Your channel makes my day brighter.
So sad that someone was living there and all her stuff she had goes for 5$ . I do hope she is ok 😢
That's what I thought
I think someone was living in this unit. It looks pretty comfortable.
That was a good little unit. Your reaction to the paper towel roll and your outro were adorable!
Oh, Rene, You are really getting an education in weird human survival techniques! Someone was living in there, for sure. Keep your wits about you! Good luck!
Obviously someone making the best of a bad situation. Hope they got the help they needed ✨
My heart was pumping as that paper towel roll was being unrolled. Dang, good one!
Forget those expensive $50 lockers, stick with the $5.00 ones! Congrats on not losing on this one! and FYI theres cardboard in that paper towel roll. lol
Was wondering how long before you realized it was a roll of paper towels. LOL
I thought for a minute that she was going to get really disappointed with the cardboard tube.😳 😊
You did good for $5 I think
I would love to know the story on the person who’s unit it was, something was going on there. Could have been living in it, who knows.
I had a girlfriend that rented a storage unit behind her house. Told me the one next to hers this guy rented, he had it furnished with a bed, chair etc.
She told me he would come, change, and dress as a woman and set in it and listen to the radio. Seems his wife didn’t know about this aspect of his life
My girlfriend and me go up to her storage unit one day to load up for a show and there’s this van parked there, we start loading my truck
Door to the van opens up and there is the guy from next door in this black evening dress and high heels. Girlfriend introduces me, I shake his hand and make some small talk
We pull out to leave and I see the van door open and this other guy gets out and they go into his unit!
OK
I would Take everything out of there quickly . 😄
Love your energy! I am excited going along with your adventures! I found an Estate Sale this past Thursday while out working my ‘actual’ business (love working for myself these past 20 years, having fun) and went back today on its final day. 8 degrees out and having more fun going through the Farm barns and house! Treasures to keep or sell is my side-hustle FUN!!
Rene,
Please give the drugs to a cop disposal site. Anti-depressants are ending up in our water supply.
It’s amazing what you can find in a spot for someone living out of a storage unit!
Good to have your old self back!
Thanks for the bloopers!! Have a great day!
Drug disposal is at the fire stations. Cops tend to question and wonder if you should be detained for more info. Besides they don't do drug disposal unless it is illegal and part of a ongoing investigation etc.
Hospitals also have boxes for disposing of old medications (anonymously) and if your county has a hazardous waste disposal program, they also take it.
Walgreens has a pill recycle bin has well.
@@paulanull8731 oh. In my state, we can just give them to a receptacle. Of course I’d empty mine into a baggie so there’s be no identifiable labels. No questions asked.
Sis.....I’m so glad you decided to go ‘full gypsy treasure hunter’! I trust your business model has a truck or van in it for 2021! You’re that good sis!!
That’s brave after the paper disaster !
I was so mad after watching that.
Not really. She could see a lot of what was in there.
Exactly!!!
Proud of you. Looks like someone slept there. The jewelry and pictures are worth something.
Tina
I think she was couch surfing for sleep as there doesn't appear to be a bed or bed roll. The woman here was storing all her stuff for life and beauty/clean clothing. The things to look presentable and not homeless. The Foo Dogs and the fabulous pictures etc. She was using this for her daily needs, clothes, makeup, food (which you will keep or donate to a food shelf) and personal information. Very resourceful of her.
You unwrapping the paper towels! I was laughing so hard!
Love the Edwardian Scatter Smiles, just what we need at the moment 🙂
Storage units are my favorite videos! But I would have just cleared everything out & filmed the contents in my house where it's warm.
When you unrolled the paper towels...😂😂😂 I would have done the same exact thing!
IF you wear the Playboy shirt, I want to see the video of it 😂
Glad to see you have a taste for adventure and a positive view of this storage locker. I know you are very smart person and can see that someone was living there. Love to see you laugh!
Nice haul, Renée ! 5:22 Just the framed needle work with fuchsias on it is worth thirty bucks or even more. Sad to know that probably a woman lived in this storage unit and couldn´t afford the rent anymore. Greets from GER, U.
Hard times for sure. $70 a month was probably less that paying over $2,000 a month or trying to qualify for public housing. They probably took out of the unit what they considered valuable then abandoned the rest of the items.
Mortar and pestle: The bowl part is the mortar. The pounding tool is the pestle. Lots of people will say something like "grind it in a mortar and pestle." But obviously you can't grind anything in the pestle. This is my pet pieve so any time I have a chance, I try to inform folks. You grind stuff with a mortar and pestle or in a mortar with a pestle but not in a mortar and pestle.
My pet peeve is when people misspell peeve.
@@briannickell1748 oops
Not gonna lie. I had my fingers crossed when you started unrolling the paper towels. HaHa!
Me too! that was funny.....
Made me laugh with the paper towel bit 😁
Much better!! I had to giggle when you were opening the paper towel. Having a truck driver for a hubby I’ve seen a few smashed rolls of paper towel before.🤗💕🦋
Yep that was funny watching you unroll the paper towels!
I love to watch your videos. Thanks for the giggle at the end.
Times are desperate. People live in storage lockers.
In the richest country on the planet, people live in storage lockers? WTF 😩🤯
Indeed. 😢 💔
Sad but true
It was probably cheaper to live in a storage locker then live in an apartment
@@lindazelepugas1000 way cheaper
I wonder what happened to the person who was apparently living there. I hope she’s ok.
You ask great questions. I was wondering too. Thanks for being a caring and kind person.
I believe I'd feel very guilty taking this woman's clothes, food and personal items. It is obvious that these things are keeping her alive and it is all she has in this world. I feel sad watching this video and knowing she will lose it all for a measly $5 bucks. Like you, I hope she's ok too.
Most storage lockers are from people down on their luck
I hope you make a lot of money on this unit so it will make up for the other one you purchased. It looks like someone was living in the unit for sure. Wishing you the best always. Great video.
I love your enthusiasm and how optimistic you always are. Definitely a half full glass, gal! Great video!
Quote of the day "I'm not telling you what size underwear I take." LMAO.....You crack me up. Not a bad unit for $5. (the paper towel treasure crack me up as well)
Somebody was living in there for sure. Hard to believe but ya gotta live somewhere. I love your optimism. Gotta have it. Couldn’t get through life without it. You make everything exciting. I love watching your videos. Blessings. Stay safe.
5 bucks! Its worth a gamble at 5 bucks 👍 Renee..your laugh makes me laugh 😄 with another 5 to 8 inches of snow otw, I sure could use a laugh 🤣 so thank u
That was the sketchiest storage facility I've ever seen!
Thank god for this locker! One hell of a better find this time, good for you!
Scatter Smiles- that is wonderful
I love your energy. I kept thinking the owner of the unit would show up
The Stop & Shop peeled tomatoes is a sweet score. Can never have too many cans. Great in soup and pasta.
Really nice finds! Certainly, a lot better than the last one, with all the medical records. Stay safe and warm, as there's big snow coming. Fantastic video!
This was fun . When you start getting excited about you see my heart starts racing . Lol to funny .
Loved this.... Keep digging...
I had a good laugh when you realized it was just a roll of paper towels. Your reactions are always so priceless!
Loved laughing with you! Sad for the soul living out of the unit though. I hope she moved on to better life
The lady living there had set up a pink curtain and one of those weighted/magnet closing screens at the door for ventilation. She was definitely staying there for a while, probably off and on. She couldn't keep up with the rent and just moved on, or moved out of town suddenly, or might now be incarcerated.
Renee, it is good to see you have a good day. Your enthusiasm is contagious. You just make my day.
Clear someone lived there recently, insulated the ceiling. Makes me sad to think of their situation! Its like you came right after them, and went through what they had left.
It's always so exciting when one finds clothes in one's own size! I grabbed a pillowcase of clothes and was so excited because 90% were in my size!! Looks like the person might have been staying in there.
I do have to say, it is now Feb. 1, 2021 and I can see such a huge change in you. Changing up your direction and your "full time work status", seems to have lifted a tremendous load from you. You act relaxed and 😊😃 happy. Good luck in this new courageous endeavor.
All those little nic-naks and chachkis will probably sell for at least a $1 easily. Plus Maybe a costume jewelry bag for $5 as well. You probably have $40-$50 there minimum.(Probably more ) Then there are probably another $40 plus in clothing items that will fit you like that yellow jacket. That saved you another $40-50 if you bought them at Thrift store prices. So you are up LEAST about a $100... plus there is the thrill of the ' treasure hunt'. Plus WE got the fun of seeing your ' blooper reel ' ;-)
Looks like WE are all WINNERS!
👍👍👍Good job Miss Moose...Now you can go home and have a hearty meal of vegetable soup, kettle chips, and for dessert cling peaches and jello .😁😁🤣🤣
Renee, I would take her medication to the storage place's office. I would leave a note on the locker as to where her meds are. She has probably been off her meds a couple of days if there has been activity by her locker. I would also call her prescribing Dr and let them know. She's been living there quite awhile because there is a screen door on the locker. I bet management knew she was living there. To replace her meds could be quite an ordeal. She will need to go to a county hospital or free clinic. Just the logistics of getting an appointment and a way there is more than I want to think about. Depressed,cold, and now homeless she needs to be plugged into the system.
Most, if not all, of the bottles were empty. The tubes of the creams looked like they hadn't been used.
I think that's the best thing to do, maybe give her her stuff back or leave it at her docs office. She obviously only had the clothes on her back. That storage guy should be reported.
I worked at a mental health clinic , those drugs are for a person with a mental health problem. You would be really helping her out.
That was fun, thank's for the laughs!!! 💟
Sooo glad you wear gloves Renee!
Hated seeing you upset yesterday, but loved seeing you happy today. Ending was a hoot; thanks for including. That was a little sleeper locker. Good job! 😉
That was a fun storage unit and I agree, it looks like someone lived there.
Bless you, that last storage unit...ugh. I hope this one is waaaaayyyyy better! ❤️
I did enjoy watching the paper towel unrolling....
Waaay better than that last one! I think you did very well here. God bless you!🙏❤️✌️👶
Wow! I would have run when I saw the curtain and netting on the door! LOL I'm glad you found good stuff! TFS Hugs!
Good enthusiasm.. & show.
8:38 that wood carving looks like it might be from Bali, Indonesia. They have gorgeous three-dimensional carved wood pictures like that one with the same leaves at the top. I am not an expert, and other countries do similar carvings. But they're worth a decent amount ($50-100) and can be worth more with really intricate carvings. There aren't too many on eBay - but search "carved wood scene Indonesia" on Google. You'll see some! I think these are gorgeous!
I'd have it appraised
That big scissor should be worth a nice penny depending on maker.
Renee, You are so funny & excited discovering your treasures! You really did get a lot for $5.00!! But, at the end you got a little bit goofy, but so funny. I think that you need to go home and eat something! Thanks for sharing ... This video was one-of-a-kind!!! Really Enjoyed it!! You keep me smiling or laughing all the way through it! MADE MY DAY !!
For FIVE DOLLARS!! THAT WAS A GOOD UNIT!! I ENJOYED YOUR EXCITEMENT WHEN YOU FIND SOMETHING OF INTEREST🥰🥰!! PEACE✌🙏
"Scatter Smiles" is embroidered on tin. I have one that was my grandmother's. I'm now 70 yr. old.
This is one of the units that makes me sad. What happened to the owner? The medications are for anxiety
You are so funny! I liked the video. I feel sorry for the person who had that unit. It seemed like the person or persons were living in there. I loved the needle point. Stay safe Renee. Delaware😊
love the bloopers that was funny....... I hope you found some silver in that box
I used to work with a lady that her whole family lived in a unit. I was shocked when she told me. I was hard to think she actually lived with her two kids and her husband in a storage unit. Her husband turned out to be an illegal person. She was from Mexico. I live in Central Texas, that goes on here, it's very common. They might have gotten the virus and didn't make it. Or went back because of no jobs. Because of the virus, Our city is now full of homeless people living in tents. Everywhere you look. Under bridges overpasses parks, downtown is full of homeless people. It's like an other world. Picture expensive high rise buildings with tents all around on the sidewalk. Million dollar apartments, with homeless people going to the bathroom right in front of you. I wish I had lots of money to help them , I donate as much as I can to the red cross and salvation army. My blessing to you an yours. Thanks for the video.
Renee, I'm loving you. You are so much fun to watch and I've learned alot from watching you. I would love to go trash picking with you. You have a very old soul I think that is why you love vintage. Keep up the great work. Be safe and warm.
All the meds in there are sedative/pain meds. yikes! I would take them to the pharmacy or police dept to be disposed of properly. 5 bucks tho good deal!
No lie, its kind of depressing that someone was living in their. Anti-depressant and nerve damage meds
So sad that someone was living there. They were in physical and mental pain according to the meds you mentioned. It is neat that there is so much you can salvage. Hope to see some at the fleamarket! 🙂 Delaware
G’day Renee what a winner now you just gradually get more units and the more confident you will get peace
You make me smile!! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like someone was living there. Worth 5.00 for sure. Just the mirror in the front is worth that.
Stay safe and God Bless
If a person has the money, living in a storage unit is preferable to living on the streets. Rent is excessive wherever you live. 😒😒😒
But it didn't look like someone was sleeping there, not bedding and wouldn't it be freezing in there?
Rent is expensive because real estate taxes are expensive
And it’s expensive to keep a building in good repair because of all the government regulations
Yeah that's what I was going to say ...the girl was living there. Love your videos
I just love you you are the cutest little thing I love watching your Channel you are so funny in a good way you leave us in suspense sometimes it's good take care more videos
They were living in the locker it looks like. You need a friend to boost you up to the top there to get the goodies in the loft!
At least you got in out of that cold wind .
