Final Clean out of a jam packed home! And some last minute surprises

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- After weeks of hoard work we finally have this place empty! A truck load of goods to support the homeless in our home town, some treasures to cover the expense... and closure as we finish another clear out.
You're so kind toward your mom and wife so nice to see. The other thing I appreciate is the pride of work you have in completing the job.
❤ no
I love that you're donating to actual charity, not corporate entities disguised as such. Kudos, and thank you for your thoughtfulness
I very much appreciate all the work you do to keep things out of the landfill, all you recycle, all you donate to various charities, but most of all how much you've donated to the displaced Ukranian refugees. You guys are examples of how people should take care of other humans. Keep up the fine work! Much love from Texas!❤
One of the things I admire most about you and Melissa is you put other peoples feelings and considerations ahead of your convenience. Making sure this woman was well taken care of was so kind and I have no doubt that’s why you guys are so successful. You deserve every bit of success you have for the kind people you are.
I had the hard chore of emptying out a house of an old friend that was in his final days and found it so hard to donate and sell the life of this friend. I admire your approach to honor the owner as much as possible.
@annvanwesten2488 - Way back when, before I first assisted in organizing and holding estate sales, I had the mindset of “this is what’s left of this man’s entire life. It’s so sad that we are cleaning, organizing and selling his life.” As the years passed and with many estate sales under my belt, I realized that I had the wrong mindset. The person who passed away had all these items during his lifetime. They meant something to him and he enjoyed them during his lifetime. They meant nothing to his heirs, and he couldn’t take them with him. All of those items could have been tossed in a dumpster and not loved and enjoyed by anyone else. The deceased would be pleased to know that the items sold at the estate sale are loved by their new owners. The items that don’t sell at the estate sale are donated to the charity of the family’s choice.
@@kristineguetschow9134 Thank you so much for your words. I have struggled with this for almost a year. I know many of the things that were bought were used to help others in need. Thanks again.
You turned it into a happy house. Hopefully the new owners are house-friendly.
Not sure what this man's end of life was,but it looks like he led a pretty good one when he lived.Many great things done and purchased.
@@None-685 a lawyer.
Appears to have been a successful one! (Money wise)
Alex mentioned medical issues, might have been cancer.
Melissa is like the perfect partner. Hard working, loving, and good mother.
And it doesn't hurt that she is so pretty too!
I am so happy for their relationship!
Literally teared up watching them at the end ❤❤
I think what's going to really differentiate your new streaming show from all the similar themed ones is your compassion. Caring about the lives of the people who have passed on, caring about their families, friends and neighbors who knew them, recycling and donating, even before any money is made on selling. You and your family have big hearts.
so agree Laura
Your character is really shining through! The world could use more people like you and your family.
“There is a certain weight of being the person, who is the emptier of a property but we do what we can”
Man you nailed it. Great quote
The last 5 minutes are a beautiful acknowledgment of the loving care you share with each other. So happy for you both!
They have it all, just a great family all around. I love that they look after each other so well and mutually. This is the recipe for success!
Thank you for taking us along on your hoarding/clean out adventures. I love watching your loving family and friends, working together and helping the community. This is about more than making an income for you guys, that is clear. It is about helping others the best you can. Alex, you have a charismatic presence, and you and Melissa are couples goals.
Alex, take a good look at the closing of this segment. Look at the way Melissa is looking at you. Love, respect and pride. It doesn't get any better than that. Fortune has shined upon you. Cherish it!
I hope that you, and all the people living in your area, stay safe from the fire.
He isn't red yet. I'm in the next province over, in BC, and last year when fires hit, a huge one got close so my daughter's home (she was on alert to evac so they had basically emptied out the house and up to the next road over was evac'd) that everything was red. She sent me pics taken in the middle of the day and everything, literally, everything was vivid red: houses, lawn, road, air etc..was deep red. It was scary.
I’m also in Edmonton. We are safe from fire here - but up until yesterday blanketed in smoke!
I live in Montana and we’ve had heavy smoke here up until a week ago. I hope everyone is safe in Alberta. This is too early for 🔥 fire. ☹️
@@VintageLPs It's the loss of animal life that breaks my heart. People can just drive away
@@hilaryc3203 I'm Australian it's when it's black that's the scariest here and hot embers are dropping from the sky. Not to mention fire tornadoes 100s metres high and atomic bomb size clouds of smoke. Pyrocumulus cloud from bushfires creates it's own weather with lightening strikes. Not fun at all. Particularly when viewed from your front door. It happened day after day in 2019 for us.
your videos have made me more aware i need to get all my ducks in a row so when my time comes my passing doesn't become a burden on my friends and family...thank you
I truly appreciate how respectful you are about clearing a home of someone who passed. You balance the ability to make money with appreciation of the person’s life.
I love the way your wife looks at you ! The hubby and I have been married 40 years
Your family is so generous when it comes to giving things to people that really need them like giving to charity. You are also very gentle with other people's stuff when you're cleaning a house out I'll respect of the former owner. Unified very loving and caring family and they're always willing to help. I love all your family and friends and really enjoy your videos❤❤❤.
Alex , you and your family are so caring and respectful ; it's wonderful to witness it . Take care , be safe and continue to prosper . I love your channel .
You have such a good soul, a very good man and you have the perfect partner
I pray for rain for everyone that needs it in their area Prayers sent..💦🙏
The guy that lived here seemed like he was a cool guy, rest in peace.
If we could all live life as full as he did
North American football should be called “hand egg” 😂😂😂
I think Alex that you, your Mom & Melissa are some of the kindest & most generous people on TH-cam. May God bless you all.
Alex, you and Melissa are such quality people, your generosity to your fellow man is so heart warming and you are showing your children how to be good humans.
Great job as usual, going that extra distance when you leave is so kind.
thanks Robyn!
I always enjoy watching the clean outs that Melissa and you do. Normally they leave me feeling somewhat sad for the people who died while you go thru their things. Seems so often like lives not fulfilled. Sometimes even a bit lonely.
This clean not at all! This clean out has left me feeling smiling. This man has had such a full, amazing and awesome life that most of us can only dream about. The places he's been and things he's done are wonderful. He's lived his life to the fullest. Good for him. We should take him as an example. 💗
2 things I love: the first is that your gorgeous Mum never puts her handbag down - so cute 🥰 and the second is that you help charity so much, they must appreciate you hugely. ❤❤
Smart! Because it would be too easy to set it down and lose it amongst all the stuff.
You folks are the consummate visage of what compassion is and generates through practice to idealize the ultimate act of helping one's fellow man! Not a thought, just a natural action and reaction. God Bless!
You, Melissa, and your children are gifts. Thank you all for helping people the way you do. No one realizes how much work, emotional stress, and actual pain, clearing out a loved one's home is. We have done it 3 times now and it is never any easier.
You, your family and friends are just such a joy to watch.
I love watching someone like you who respects and appreciates the "treasures" you sort through. You understand what is really trash & what isn't. I hope when the time comes where my home needs to be sorted out they can find someone like you :-)
You are so respectful to the memory of the people whose homes you are clearing out. Another job well-done. It looks good. I loved how, at the end, Melisa looked up at you as you put your arm around her and there was such love in her eyes! You two are such an awesome couple and you're raising three amazing young people. The world needs more of you
I like the kissing rabbits in balcony bin. They are very very cute.
Boy, it seems like that guy really invested in fun times and things that meant a lot to him.
You and all your help, did an amazing job! 💓💝💘❤💖watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great night!
You and your family are so kind Alex ❤ thank you for being good people
The donations to charity and others in need makes your channel stand out. ❤
I hope the gentleman is off to his greatest journey
With wonders and adventures he couldn't imagine !
A life well lived are just some of the gifts he left behind
Farewell and may your blessings follow you home .
The fact that you go the extra mile, and help others more than yourself, is why you prosper!
Love the respect that you give to the person that has passed and their family and friends
I knew a moving company owner who, when giving the estimate for a move, would offer to take all the items the client planned to donate and store them in his warehouse, at no cost to the client. He then worked with various charities to furnish apartments for women fleeing domestic violence. They furnished over 100 apartments that way.
What a difference the guys from the charity made, you have done so much work. Thanks for sharing the adventure with us.
You’re such a good soul to consider the lady’s emotional state and make sure it’s all clean for her. You’re wonderful 💞
Thanks for respectfully clearing a fellow parrothead's home Alex. ❤
Ironically, when you said "crack like an egg", I was cracking an egg! 🤗🍳
I do appreciate that you recycle and donate as much as you can. You're good people!!!!
You and your family are just awesome with the way you all work together on these clear outs. I know you do the majority of the work. I love the fact that you actually donate so much of the furniture and clothing. You are an incredibly kind person.
How cool that you’re helping the homeless again with this latest charity connection. Thank you for doing so much good in your community!
The Charity FIND is & has always been the best charity to deal with; I have used them for several years when doing a cleanup of a house...
Them coming to the place to do a pickup was sure a lot of help.
What a lovely wife and beautiful couple. What a nice thing to do.
The kind way you treated this man's belongings was like a wonderful eulogy! He is remembered by so many now. I might sell the Jimmy Buffett Hawaiian shirt with the ticket. Wow, great things stuffed everywhere ...hope you checked under the coach cushions??? Great donations and very kind of you.
Most charities I know of won't take beds anymore. I don't see why they won't take the frames and just supply new mattresses. That bed you have there is really nice! If all else fails, post it up for free. I'm glad you found a home for that bed.
You may have the strongest work ethic of anyone I have ever seen. And a most supportive and helpful family as well.
Ah , I’m sad it’s over. He sure had an interesting life. You guys are amazing.
That’s a great charity, to get people started with furniture, fresh off the streets🥰You are well rounded, and I can’t believe no more stow😞
God bless you and your family donating. and cleaning the condo for the lady
All done with respect for the gentleman that lived there and consideration to the lady that inherited the property. A looooooot of work but once again with the help of your family you did it. Congratulations 🥂
Guarantee all the carpeting will be immediately replaced by the new owner. And probably the stove and fridge as well with a full kitchen remodel. Heck, looking at the bathroom tiles, I'd bet the entire place gets redone. But thanks for the cleaning effort as that does make a better presentation. Best wishes for the bereaved.
Oh it just occurred to me! That poor
Man must have passed there and they cut out the carpet. But it sure seems he lives life to the fullest!
What an interesting man he must have been!!
Those glasses could sell for 240canadian dollars according to one site as I'm sure you'll know by now😊
Thanks again Alexander and Melissa (and mum😀)💜
Think of it as an adventurer cleaning out the adventurers condo. I bet he would have liked that. An adventure ❤
Your boys grew up since the last time I watched!! What a handsome crew you’ve got!
Alex, you are the definition of a cheerful giver! Your generosity and spirit of lending freely is an example to us all.
The Canadian Rockie Train poster has been made into a puzzle. My mom made the puzzle.
You can always get that jacket taken in so it fits you .💜🇦🇺
Melissa you should have been born in the 70’s. ✌🏻🤟🏻
I can think of no one kinder and more respectful to handle people's belongings at the end of their lives. And as well as helping you and your family you make sure to help your community. Always a treat to watch your videos.
My husband loved wearing the Hockey jerseys. I still have many of ones he wore.
🙋♀️❤ I imagine you and this gentleman (RIP) would have become great friends. .
I am totally i
Pressed with how you care for others. World needs more people like you, your family and friends.
Your compassion and generosity are truly unmeasurable. 💙
The reason Alex cleans , the places he clears out. Because he always goes the extra mile. You would be amazed, how doing something little, can mean a lot.
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻
Wow you, your wife and family do such a great job. My favorite cleaning solution because they can do woodwork painted surfaces just about everything and it absolutely melts grease on the kitchen cupboards.
You use one gallon of the hottest water you can stand. and I would use reusable yellow gloves to protect your hands.
You add one cup of ammonia half a cup vinegar and a quarter cup of baking soda mix it all together and wa la. Happy cleaning
Lol, you could put the tortoise and bird bath on the Stairway to Mystery in your backyard. 😀
I sure hope Melissa took some of the Le Creuset home. It’s THE best cookware EVER!
So happy for your new streaming show. I cannot wait.
Couldn't help but think about this man the whole way through each episode. At a certain point I was moved to tears. He lived a life of abundance and that was quite evident by the amazing contents of his home. It saddens me though that the person who inherited his condo didn't want the contents as she didn't need any of it, I mean I understand that, but not even a memory of him of somekind apart from the Condo, whether it was the coin collection, a Jersey, the lamps, a painting..kinda like no not interested just want to sell the place and thankyou very much kinda thing. All I can truly say is you and your family dealt with his life with such compassion and respect it kept me strong whilst watching this. You did such a great job. 👍
Your efforts to go above and beyond is one of the main reasons you are so successful in so many ways.
Another great adventure completed. I can't wait for the next one to begin. The man that lived in that condo seemed to have lived an interesting and fulfilled life, kudos to him. 🤠👍
Alex, you and your family are simply the best! You going above and beyond to help the woman with the cleaning of the condo…bravo to all of you!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It looks like this man led an awesome full life full of adventure . i don't know how you do it but you seem to find the most interesting places with character . Glad you are finding some treasures and things you can use as well . this was a great clear out. You Mom is so sweet . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Another great series Alex!! You and your family and friends do such a nice job sorting through the property! It's wonderful that you love to donate where possible and have pride in your work. All of the folks that receive the donations must be so very thankful for your thoughtfulness! Can't wait to see the next project you'll be sharing with us!.
Concorde memorabilia sells really well, that looks like 70s Concorde so even rarer, good find.
I understand you don't know a lot about birds, but your guess was really an African Grey in that tiny cage? 😂 If he had one of those, the cage would have been much much bigger. Most likely it was a cockatiel, they are often grey. Anyway, great job as always Alex!
Alex, you are usually dead on with your references but "My sweet Babbaoo" was Sally to Linus 🙂 Congrats on your new venture and thanks for being such a good human!!
The table your mom is working on is just like one I have. I had been told, maybe not true, that they are old tavern tables. I do love mine. You have such a lovely family and appreciation for them. I had to do the clean out from my parents lived in for fourty something years. Daunting for sure.
Boy, what a job. Alex, you and your family did an awesome job. Keep the videos coming.
May the memories of love outweigh the grief of loss. Thank you so much for your empathy.
I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , USA, and the wildfire smoke from your area has traveled to our skies and is blocking the sun on many days this spring!
I would like to give you and Melissa a huge hug your amazing humans
That sounds like a good charity you picked for the furniture. It's important to pair up the type of item with the charity that needs it most.
Find is an awesome charity who give first pick of the items to people who need them the most for free before they sell anything to the public unlike other charities who sell the stuff to people who can afford them. I donated a lot of my parents stuff to Find because of how the do things.
I have been waiting anxiously for this to drop today Thank you for sharing your adventures. Now to wait for you to explore Kathy Cash' barn, That's exciting.
I think some of our Australian firefighters were coming over to help with the fires. Hopefully no-one is hurt and the fires become controllable.
Certainly liked to support the little guys, Stoke City and Hull City (the tiger logo one) AFC...
Alex I think your comment to the two little busy bodies was hilarious!
Does anyone else imagine what it would be like for Alex and Melissa to clear out your home after you die? AND have the world see all of it? 😂
The new sports clock would look great in your garage
The clean outs are my favorite! But I would have ended up looking like a hoarder after doing this one, so many things i would have wanted to take home.
Your respect for the former resident was so touching, I'm sure he was a lovely person. Thank you so much for that.
You and your family did an amazing job for this lady, and your community. as you always do. Wow what a concept, make money whilst helping others, yes my bad sarcasm.
Praying for all our Albertans .🇨🇦❤️🙏
