    That would have been a house worth saving. Defiantly a meat grinder. Its what we still use in our home. Sausage, relishes an so on. I'm old and its what my mother used before I was born and relish making took all of us kids taking turns outside grinding onions,, green tomatoes an so on for moms famous green tomato relish. The box you asked about, its a shoe shine box. The handle was also used as a rest for the shoe to be shined. The door on it opens to hold the rags , brushes and wax. Thanks for the tour xx

    Hi Chris and Meg,some really nice stuff in this house,great to see no vandalism for a change and how well kept and very tidy it was.
    l think the little box underneath the table was for coal for the fire
    Sad to see it decaying,but when you look out from bedroom window it looks like somebody looking after the garden and maybe the house also,enjoyed looking around this place thanks for sharing 👍

    The gentleman may not have married but there was certainly a feminine presence in his life and it looked like she lived there too. Place is very well kept, and I did notice that although some of the ceilings were coming down, there was no debris lying about. I did get a sad vibe from this explore . . . and it does look like the place is kept somewhat clean. Nice to see an explore of a home that hasn't been trashed by thieves and vandals. Thank you for sharing this exquisite find.

    The House looks like it’s just waiting to become a home again. Thank you for being so respectful of this Man’s house and possessions I feel sure someone must be looking after it as it’s way too clean and dust free. The box under the table with the handle is a shoe shine box - cleaning items inside and the slanted front is where you rested your foot. Men used to polish their shoes daily it was considered essential good grooming having clean shiny shoes. 💗☮️🙏🐨🇦🇺

    Hi guys, what a brilliant find. The house is gorgeous, a real time capsule. I wonder why Howard had two toothbrushes 🪥 one being pink? Did he have a ‘friend’ I wonder. Certain areas looked clean and not very dusty. I wonder if anyone is popping around now and then just to check over the house for Howard? The crack in the wall over the front door is concerning, I hope it’s nothing structural. Under the table is a coal scuttle, and in the pantry is a mincer, to make your own mince. Thank you for another wonderful find. ❤️♥️❤️

    I get a sad feeling about the history of this house. It sounds as if Gordon has maybe passed away. I think that is the most likely reason that he hasn’t returned to this house for so long. He probably intended to return, but something must have prevented it. It is a real time warp with so many things left behind. The item in the kitchen, with the handle, is a hand operated mincer, for mincing meat. My Mum had one of these, many years ago. I almost expected Gordon to walk in. He kept the house tidy.I hope that it doesn’t get vandalised. A great video.

      I have the same meat mincer! It's definitely old/vintage. And it came with 3 or 4 interchangeable grate discs (for lack of actual name). I can't say that mine and the one in this house are the same, but wood handle and metal's appearance are exact. I found it at an estate sale (California, U.S.) but never used it. I had it displayed, tightened it to the edge of a utility wood block in my kitchen and all the kiddos used to love churning the handle (even the teens and adults!), but I had to take it down finally as the little ones would get conked in the head because the handle was heavy and had a loose swing! Lol
      But I still have it and love the nostalgia of it!

  • @marklittler784
    @marklittler784 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The main benefit of insulation is it makes a house feel so much more comfortable and pleasant to live in you don't have so much variation in hot and cold spots at any time of the year, it really isn't so much the money saved or it being eco friendly.

    I think this really stresses the importance of making a will especially when you don't have any family members to leave stuff to. I would hate my stuff to rot when I am gone but it's so easy to leave a will to a favourite charity to make sure others can continue to enjoy what you leave behind.
