Because it makes us feel better about what we are hanging on to. As long as we don’t feel like we are hanging on to as much as others are hanging on to, then we can justify what we are keeping.
These are my favourite videos of yours, it was the house clearances (particularly the hoards) that were the reason I discovered the channel. great to see another series.
Agree, but just a warning wait until the people move out or at least give permission before you do it. The police didn't care how much fun I was having for some reason.
I am ready to get rid of my furniture & belongings right now and I am barely 60. There comes a time when one is just done with it all & need a clean break.
I'm glad to see Alex back to helping with clean outs, but at the same time I have a twinge of sadness for the elderly people who have had to leave so much of their prior lives behind. I know we all age and give up our treasures but it's still a bit sad. Hopefully the left overs can provide furnishings for half a dozen Ukrainian families.
I felt the same way. It looks like my house. But what I figure is that I can enjoy all of the stuff while I am here and then it can all be sold to give the money to my kids. They only have to keep what they want and walk away from the rest. Leave that for some collector to enjoy. That's how treasures are found.
My only experience with this type of thing was with my mom. She was was absolutely not a hoarder in any way, but as she got older the house, the yard and two outbuildings, and all they contained became more and more of a burden to her and caused her a lot of anxiety. I think the stress of it all caused her to lose attachment to most of it. When she went into assisted living, it was like 10 years fell off her. She had everything she needed, was able to take a few pieces of furniture and artwork to make her room feel like home and was happier than we had seen her in years. She told us to take what we wanted and donate everything that was left. So...it's not always sad. I know that having the burden of house and property taken off her shoulders added years to my mother's life.
Dear Archbold family. 👍👌👏 Back to the roots at last! Looks already like a really great purchase. Congratulations!🎉 What an impressive house on a fantastic property. Looks like a dream to me. Nothing looks cheap, everything seems to be really good quality stuff (for instance the hand truck/sack barrow). Everything is even pretty clean. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved.
I grew up on a farm. Helped both my grandparents clean up their farms in my 20's and 1 moved soon after. After my parents retired and moved to town then a retirement residence all that was left fit in a small u haul and minimal furniture. Less stress and going thru items is best. I hope to downsize and get rid alot of items when I retire as I do not want to leave too much for my children.
I cleaned out my house about 6 months ago. Thought I got rid of so much, but when we packed to move, I couldn't believe how much more stuff we didn't need. Very careful about what we buy now.
Love these clear out videos, but always worry a little about you. Take care of your back and wear a mask when you need it! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Two LOL moments: When you thought the music box was done and it started back up, and when you went into the garage and said, "Ok, don't get distract--Ooh!" when you saw the snow blower. hahah Looks fun!
😂😂😂😂I love it!!! Sounds like the theme song for Dr.Zhivago. I gave Mom and dad a snow globe with that song. Mom hated it 😂Also the cuckoo clock I gave her....
A man bought a music box for his wife's birthday, thought it played happy birthday, turned out it played "the old gray mare she ain't what she use to be ". Doesn't pertain, just funny 😊
The weaving loom will get you a few hundred $'s, especially if all the extras come with it. Look for the wooden bench that goes with it as that will add a lot of value. I also noticed what looked like a warping mill in the garage. To maximize your profits, maybe a member of a local weavers guild can come in and help you identify all the weaving bits you may find throughout the house.
Alex never does anything to "maximize" his profits. He donates or tosses perfectly sellable stuff and takes every thing to Kaster auction house where a large majority of the items don't go for near what he could get for them with a little effort. i understand his fast nickle over a slow dime philosophy but still.
@@justmeiniowa He does that not only to sell faster but also because of the extra room he would need to hold onto all of those sellable things, especially when doing a clean out like this one. A lot of more modern furniture and other stuff never sells for much and/or it sits for a long time before it sells. It's not worth hanging onto things like that. It's better to give it to someone that could use it and get it out of your way. I don't know if he does this but sometimes when you donate stuff you can use that as a tax write off up to so much.
@@gigicostlow4414 I know this but I still disagree with using Kastners exclusively and he has stated in videos he does NOT get any tax write offs for donations.
While I have no idea of the facts behind your recent clean out, it saddens me so much to see how a life time is reduced to trash and fodder. Been thru this a couple of times with family members, but it is still so sad to see this realization for any human being.
Hi Alex. I haven't watched you in a long time. I opened up TH-cam and your video was the 1st one. So glad it was there, that way I can start watching you again.
I think the music box song is just "Somewhere My Love" (Lara's Theme)" from the 1965 MGM film Doctor Zhivago. It started playing when you opened the bottom drawer of the jewelry box, so it will probably stop by closing it again.
There's even nice decorating pieces for your yard . The iron bench will look so pretty sitting underneath the tree on the back lot a lot of those items for the outdoors would be so pretty
For the spinning wheel and loom…they look to be functional tools. You might try to contact a local spinning or weaving guild, for assistance in pricing/ selling these tools.
What a charming Tudor-style house, complete with an English cottage garden. These folks must have really enjoyed their lovely home. It's great that it's pretty clean, too. Happy sorting, I'll be along for the ride.
Yay, another house clearing! That knee lever for the sewing machine doesn't make it go. It's a hands free way of raising and lowering the presser foot. Thanks for another interesting adventure!
Yay! Judging from the other comments, I’m not the only one thrilled about this series! I’ve so missed the “bought the whole house” type series! Thanks for bringing these types of videos back, Alex!
I don't know if you have cleared everything yet but please consider leaving some basic gardening equipment for the new owners. When we bought our house we'd moved from an apartment and had nothing and were so grateful to have almost everything we needed to do the upkeep.
You were the first person I followed on line because of the content. Lost interest after you no longer did this. So happy you are back at it!!! Such a perfect Saturday event. Thanks..
That rooster dish you found on the porch in the box, I have the teapot that matches and I did used to have the whole set. Got them from Sears! The music box has been waiting for you for an age but it sounds spooking because it is likely full of dust. It is lovely.
NOOO! Use the wasp spray in the evening when the queen and her workers are in the nest for the night, unless Canadian wasps go to sleep later than Florida wasps. Love your cleanout videos!
That's what I do. I use a flashlight to locate it then point it away then spray and quickly turn off the light and walk away. They don't like to fly at night because they don't see well when it's dark. I haven't been stung yet doing it this way.
This is a beautiful property! And I can tell that these people were very interested in many things. It almost reminds me of our house, just not as much stuff. I'm glad their things aren't just being tossed out.
The "decoy" is a Loon, it's a very nice one. More of a decoration, not used in hunting. The "bar" for the sewing machine lifts the foot up and down, not for the speed. Love the big steamer chest across from it. And the black "oriental" (probably polyester, not wool) rugs. The weaving loom is a very nice one too. Looks like the "volunteers" threw everything in the garage, not a dumpster. Seems like they bought a new red plastic gas can every time they bought gas. There were atleast 10! Looks like fun Alex! Thanks!
Hey Alex and family, the Potter House was my 1st introduction to your channel and got me hooked, so glad you have another clean out, a lot to do in 2 weeks but you'll get it done, can't wait for the next episode.
It was watching these videos like the ones from the potter house etc, that convinced me to get rid of ‘stuff’. Lots went to the charity shops, a lot to the dump. When we moved, we filled two skips. When we moved and arrived at our new house, we still found lots of stuff to go to the charity shop.
Only special minded person can enjoy a job like this. Those “volunteers” might’ve been looking easy score. That might be modern gas/electric Elmira $10,000+ . Very high quality antique retro stove.
I sooo appreciate your sensitivity in these homes. You don’t want to just throw anything and everything out. You want to find a place for as much as possible so it’s not all just trashed.
Yeah!!!! I love these videos! Thanks, Alex! Remember to pace yourself! I love all the clocks! The creepy music box sound is legit!!! SO good to see Melissa and the youngest! SO much stuff, and then you say, "Oh care tires!".You are so entertaining! I LOVE this!!!! 🥰
Alex, those mid-century chairs are going to pay you back for the price of everything. You are going to make a mint off of those. Wow! Myself, I wouldn't put them in auction, but instead set a price and have them go that way.
Hi Alex. At 20:47 under the loom in the baskets is drop spindles. Depending on the age or if they are hand-made these are highly collectible if you did not know that.
These house cleanouts are always so anxiety inducing and somewhat sad. The spoils of someone's life being assessed by strangers. Makes me look around and wonder when will be the best time to just start selling or tossing out my own stuff so I end up dying with just cash in my bank account.
What a beautiful, peaceful property - can't wait to see it all cleared out. A lot of that stuff is a gardener's dream! It's going to make someone a wonderful home. The birds sound like they're used to being alone or missing the owners.
The reproduction stove is like one a friend of mine in Fort Worth has. Her reproduction stove is almost exactly like that one and it was imported from Canada and yes, it was very expensive.
I’ve watched since the Potters House. I LOVED that series. I live in NZ and would have bought so much stuff if I lived in Canada! Now you are starting on another house and I’ve already seen stuff I would love to buy…. But by the time I bought & shipped it would be prohibitive. It looks like the couple were artistic, weaving, spinning, sewing, drawing, gardening, renovating, collecting- it’s like you can get to know them through their possessions. We recently had to clear out my mother’s home. It was strange seeing a life being divided into family, auction, donation and landfill. And sad. Make sure if you want certain items to go to certain folk, write it down. 😊
It’s Sad in a sense that this Older Couple could NO longer manage this Household and made a Solid Decision to Downsize for an Easier Life. 70+ years of Life. 👍🙏
That is a high dollar stove, for sure, several thousand. We just cleared out my late sis' two homes in two states. Seeing this house gives me ptsd flashbacks. Good luck.
I’m excited to see another clean out video! It’s been awhile! Hope to see you, the family, Hans and Zenobia, Josh too! I love all the little things people have collected…a life well lived!
Alex I remember being so overwhelmed for you when you went through the Potter’s house and then the musician’s house but you kept us all grounded and focused. So we need that again. And please wear a mask Alex. Your voice changes as you talk when you’re around all this dust. Can’t wait to see all that you can save from this house. ✌🏻🤍🤞🏽

So excited that these types of videos are back. My favorite, speaks to the organizer in me
Ditto!
Me too!
Yep
Couldn't have said it better myself 🥰
Yep
Why do we love these house clean out/hoard videos? I was with you on the Potter House. Great content. Be careful Alex and take care of yourself.
I think it’s because it gives us a view into somebody’s life. It’s fun to see what others thought was cool enough to keep around.
I'm really exited about another house cleanout! It looks messy, but long time viewers have seen Way Worse!
Because it makes us feel better about what we are hanging on to. As long as we don’t feel like we are hanging on to as much as others are hanging on to, then we can justify what we are keeping.
Compared to Mary's house this one is spotless with everything in its place. Lol
Because we are TREASURE hunting!!
This is the content I subbed for!
Me too!
And me
And me! 👍
And me
me too
Really a great reminder that we don't actually need so much "stuff".
You can say that again
Exacto!
yes! Reminds me to clear out periodically.
I saw about 12 gas cans. Every hoe and shovel you can imagine. Beautiful home and property.
Yes. Can not agree more with it
Back to the old days!! 🎉
Yea 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Woo hoo!
At least this isn't a horder house. Well not so much.
My fav!
These are my favourite videos of yours, it was the house clearances (particularly the hoards) that were the reason I discovered the channel. great to see another series.
Close the bottom drawer of the jewelry box!
Digging through other people's stuff is so much fun. My favorite videos.
Agree, but just a warning wait until the people move out or at least give permission before you do it. The police didn't care how much fun I was having for some reason.
Digging through other people's stuff vicariously it the best!
Oh dear, it makes me so sad to see a house left behind with all those memories. I’m glad you will find another life for all those lovely things.❤😢
I am ready to get rid of my furniture & belongings right now and I am barely 60. There comes a time when one is just done with it all & need a clean break.
I always feel very sad to think wat kind of a crises forces someone or a family to leave their home and stuff.😢😢
I would have been so upset if people who come in to help just threw everything away 😖😖😢No, no, no.
I'm glad to see Alex back to helping with clean outs, but at the same time I have a twinge of sadness for the elderly people who have had to leave so much of their prior lives behind. I know we all age and give up our treasures but it's still a bit sad. Hopefully the left overs can provide furnishings for half a dozen Ukrainian families.
I agree. I love a great bargain, but I get too sad going to estate sales!
I felt the same way. It looks like my house. But what I figure is that I can enjoy all of the stuff while I am here and then it can all be sold to give the money to my kids. They only have to keep what they want and walk away from the rest. Leave that for some collector to enjoy. That's how treasures are found.
I guess they took what was special/important to them
The gardener in me makes me sad…..
My only experience with this type of thing was with my mom. She was was absolutely not a hoarder in any way, but as she got older the house, the yard and two outbuildings, and all they contained became more and more of a burden to her and caused her a lot of anxiety.

An exiting project! you could name this series a "House of Clocks"!
And plants! The garden of time house😀
Yes, you definitely need to name this house so we can keep up with the episodes please!
I love these whole property clean outs.
Stitch Witchery is an iron in basting material.
These folks had very good taste.
Those orange chairs are the bomb! They would be well made and are back in style. They were just old fashioned when I was a kid, now they are “vintage”

And this is why I’ve gotten rid of everything now. Never want anybody to go through my stuff after I’m done.

Hi Alex. I haven't watched you in a long time. I opened up TH-cam and your video was the 1st one. So glad it was there, that way I can start watching you again.
Same here, this is what I love watching ❤
I like the message on the pillow at 11:12, "It's my mess, and I love it." It encapsulates the situation Alex must now address.
I think the music box song is just "Somewhere My Love" (Lara's Theme)" from the 1965 MGM film Doctor Zhivago. It started playing when you opened the bottom drawer of the jewelry box, so it will probably stop by closing it again.

For the spinning wheel and loom…they look to be functional tools. You might try to contact a local spinning or weaving guild, for assistance in pricing/ selling these tools.
The loom especially, is a very expensive item.
The castle spinning wheel, if intact and working, could easily sell for $350-$400 usd.
@@witatter1 I think also saw a Saxony style/traditional style wheel in the bedroom.
Yes! That loom would make a local fiber artist very happy. It could definitely be sold for a decent amount as it looks to be in fairly good shape.
I found these house clearing videos quite fascinating.
What a nice home! Not full of trash ! Looking forward to watching the adventure!!
Thank goodness the old style videos are back.
What a charming Tudor-style house, complete with an English cottage garden. These folks must have really enjoyed their lovely home. It's great that it's pretty clean, too. Happy sorting, I'll be along for the ride.
These are the ones i love to watch. They took all they could when they moved and left soooo much behind. Will look forward to seeing what Alex finds.
Yay, another house clearing! That knee lever for the sewing machine doesn't make it go. It's a hands free way of raising and lowering the presser foot. Thanks for another interesting adventure!
I'm sure this clear out took place awhile ago but I look forward to seeing what treasures are in every nook and cranny 😊
Really excited about this one. Love the living room rug. Looks like you will have a lot of great sellable items.
Yay! Judging from the other comments, I’m not the only one thrilled about this series! I’ve so missed the “bought the whole house” type series! Thanks for bringing these types of videos back, Alex!
I always imagine what Alex would say if he was walking around to clear out my house. Tends to motivate me to declutter my home.
I don't know if you have cleared everything yet but please consider leaving some basic gardening equipment for the new owners. When we bought our house we'd moved from an apartment and had nothing and were so grateful to have almost everything we needed to do the upkeep.
Yea! Love these kinds of videos. As you said, if you're saving something for a rainy day, use it. Thanks for sharing the adventure!
I love when you do whole property clean out.
That house is really cool. The layout is interesting. This series will be fun! Thanks for sharing

That rooster dish you found on the porch in the box, I have the teapot that matches and I did used to have the whole set. Got them from Sears!
The music box has been waiting for you for an age but it sounds spooking because it is likely full of dust. It is lovely.
I love those orange chairs! New in the box, how incredible. Best of luck to you with this cleanout.
What an amazing home and property! I would love to see what the new owners do to it.
The music box was playing Somewhere my Love 😊.....not spooky at all!

@@Cindy-fu6uxYes, Dr. Zhivago. N8t creapy at all. The theme from a classic movie.
I Agree with Alex, creepy
@trish818 I think the batteries were going out which made the music sound off.
@grettagirl2884 possibly but, like Alex it reminds me of horror movies 😀
NOOO! Use the wasp spray in the evening when the queen and her workers are in the nest for the night, unless Canadian wasps go to sleep later than Florida wasps. Love your cleanout videos!
That's what I do. I use a flashlight to locate it then point it away then spray and quickly turn off the light and walk away. They don't like to fly at night because they don't see well when it's dark. I haven't been stung yet doing it this way.
Looks like a Heartland Stove. My dream stove! lol
So excited for the house clean out!! Back to the good old days of Curiosity Incorporated!!
I am so looking forward to the organising, cleaning, decorating, explaining etc for this house and its content!
Congrats on the house clearing! It has been a long time! Will enjoy watching future videos! Hope to see more of Melissa working in the kitchen!🥰
Feeling sooo bad for the people who had to leave their comfortable home, even to the food. Hope someone else can appreciate their loved items
I've missed your clean out videos. The adventure of the hunt. Yes!
I know these are a lot of work for you but these are my favorite videos you do!
I am looking forward to seeing this series!! I love that you are so respectful of the people’s belongings!
i´m hyped not gonna lie
This is a beautiful property! And I can tell that these people were very interested in many things. It almost reminds me of our house, just not as much stuff. I'm glad their things aren't just being tossed out.
The "decoy" is a Loon, it's a very nice one. More of a decoration, not used in hunting.
The "bar" for the sewing machine lifts the foot up and down, not for the speed. Love the big steamer chest across from it. And the black "oriental" (probably polyester, not wool) rugs.
The weaving loom is a very nice one too.
Looks like the "volunteers" threw everything in the garage, not a dumpster.
Seems like they bought a new red plastic gas can every time they bought gas. There were atleast 10!
Looks like fun Alex! Thanks!
At 6:48 into the video I see a Wycliffe Bible Commentary. I'd be interested in buying that. 😊
Love watching house clean outs, so interesting! Have fun!
Love that you brought the old intro back. Thanks for giving me another adventure with you all. Have a wonderful Sunday .
He's been using this intro for quite some time...
Our pleasure!
Hey Alex and family, the Potter House was my 1st introduction to your channel and got me hooked, so glad you have another clean out, a lot to do in 2 weeks but you'll get it done, can't wait for the next episode.
I love this. I collect clocks, as well. This looks like a lot of work, but so rewarding❤😊

Great to see you start another clean out. Thanks
awesome new clear out series to follow; that is a beautiful Tudor style home and yard 🤩 lots of good contents to sift through 👍🏻
Only special minded person can enjoy a job like this. Those “volunteers” might’ve been looking easy score.

Its an elmira. Made in canada! I have the coal/wood one. They work amazingly well!
Those grow lights plant stand ...was a great score! That for me would have been everything !!😊😊
The rugs are all really lovely!

I love these exploration and discovery videos. I help with estate sale sets, and nearly every house is an adventure.
I think Alex has taken a for ever young pill he never seems to age uk❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Alex, those mid-century chairs are going to pay you back for the price of everything. You are going to make a mint off of those. Wow! Myself, I wouldn't put them in auction, but instead set a price and have them go that way.
Or a minimum bid. That way he might get more!
🎉🎉YIPPIE!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Cleanout video! Missed the estate series.
Happy to watch another house cleaning!
Wish you had a regularly scheduled TV show with this kind of clean out.
I started watching you when you were dealing with the Potter's house. It was a bright light during a dark time.
Hi Alex. At 20:47 under the loom in the baskets is drop spindles. Depending on the age or if they are hand-made these are highly collectible if you did not know that.

I've lowered my stress level about my stuff by deciding that I'm going to take it all with me!
I love this kind of content! These make me clean my home.
You need to invite George the antique Nomad to come up and look through this house with you. He is wonderful and you would learn so much from him 💖🌹💖
Yeah , I love love those videos. There’s so much stuff and it’s fun finding treasures with you and your family.
Abigail looks so grown up. She seemed so young when we first started watching the Potter's house

The cleanouts and car videos are what I love! Keep em coming!
That is a high dollar stove, for sure, several thousand. We just cleared out my late sis' two homes in two states. Seeing this house gives me ptsd flashbacks. Good luck.
So pleased to see another clearout really excited to watch but please don't chuck the dollshouse in the trash .
Im so happy to see a clean out again!
I’m excited to see another clean out video! It’s been awhile! Hope to see you, the family, Hans and Zenobia, Josh too!
I love all the little things people have collected…a life well lived!
I was happy to be able to watch another house clearing video!
Alex I remember being so overwhelmed for you when you went through the Potter’s house and then the musician’s house but you kept us all grounded and focused. So we need that again. And please wear a mask Alex. Your voice changes as you talk when you’re around all this dust. Can’t wait to see all that you can save from this house. ✌🏻🤍🤞🏽
What a lovely home! Love these series!
So glad to see you in a long series house clear out again. I hope we get to see a lot of it like the Potter house!
