- Today I focus on getting some of the more expensive items for resale off the property, and turn attention back to donations and trash... another step closer on today's episode.
I am really enjoying having the Melissa Cam interspersed with this house clear out this time. :)
Great that you could help out that young couple!! We were all young and starting out with nothing at one time. 😊
Thank you for keeping usable items out of a landfill by donating them & helping others ❤
Yes saying donating then sounds so much nicer than the constant use of the word "Charity"
Those handmade heads would be desirable by anyone doing a big Halloween display, they're pretty neat actually.
I would have LOVED those new orange chairs from the 1970's, the mirror and that hanging lamp!!!
You brute!!! Now teddy can't see since you took his glasses! 😂
Where did you get the phrase "yimmering and yammering"?
😂 he looks quite bare now
What an incredibly beautiful house. The layout and the landscaping Is Fantastic!
There's so much stuff inside you can't even walk.
It was clearly the home of a happy and productive family. I’m glad so many of their things are going to charity, but I can’t help but feel wistful about what was.
@@seancasey2444 Goodness, you should go back and watch some of his other house clearouts with hoarding situations. This house is perfectly livable in comparison.
7:15 Elizabeth David reinvented cooking in England after WW2, writing many classic cook books, and had a shop in London. Very collectable, for making terrines/paté. My dad was given one of her kitchen spoons, a treasured item, though no physical provenance.
In the basement there was a ring on top of the large cabinet on the right going down the stairs. I saw it when you were filming. Hoping that is one of the rings you are looking for.
I was just going on here to say that. It was a gold ring. LoL! I am a month behind. Just watching g the series today.
My aunt used to make dolls back in the 70's and 80's. Would love that box of heads.
They're fun!
Did you notice in last video that Alex came across all the nylons, he wasn’t sure why they were collecting them. Lol. I knew they were for making those doll heads.
My grandma used to make Pickled Pantyhose People, mini versions she then put in glass jars. 😂 I saw those heads and had a moment of nostalgia remembering my crafty grandma
These videos inspire me to get rid of my own junk I have now scheduled a pick up for donations coming in 2 weeks. Thanks Alex love these clean out videos.
Beautiful work on the nylon babies!! the old people headsare Adorable!! Would love to see them on online auction !!
I love this series, but the thing that always warms my heart about your videos is how lovingly and respectfully you treat each other, always thanking, specially the kids for their help, and always working as a team.
Thank you, beautiful Archibald family, for showing so much care in your good work, and always helping someone ( that was for sure a good start for the young couple! 😊🙌🏻) And keep on rocking the dad jokes, Alex!! 😂😂
Oh how I’d love to be there with you guys. So much to see , so much fun to go through their treasures. You have such a good heart , helping out people that need it. Hurray for the young Clampets getting free stuff from you. I’m sure they got more than what they expected.
Rest in Peace Mr Gordon Lightfoot, we miss you so much.❤
Grocery store apple & banana boxes are spacious and sturdy. My grocery store saved them for me when I was moving ~ and they're free!
That couple was excited I'll bet. Like free shopping! ❤
Good for the kids you gave all that stuff to!
So sweet that you guys could help the young ones with their new life❤
I purchased that same Troy-bilt rototiller in 1987 for CA$1800 ! I still have it and use it.
Great tiller. I have one from 1976.
I hate when the video ends. Thanks for sharing
Alex and Melissa, you have made some good inroads into the house. I bet that couple were really excited about your gifts to them. Back in 1979 I bought a houseful of furniture for $100 because the owner was disabled and couldn’t move it. It was a Godsend for us at the time. The couch and chair were a hideous melon orange, but we used them for 4 years and can laugh about how ugly they were now. 😂❤
SO SWEET! What a blessing to that young couple you guys were!
Great stereo! I had one almost the same. My daughter took it and painted it ,took out the turntable and radio and made it for storing extra blankets and stuff. I think it was mid 60’s from my grandparents house. It must be exciting and exhausting to go through everything. Thanks for sharing!
Only spray a wasp/hornet nest at dusk when all the inhabitants are in the nest for the night. You won’t get stung that way and you will kill them all.
God bless you for helping that young couple out! Loved that!
When I was about 22 years old - I lived next door to an elderly lady that gave me dishes and furniture for my first apartment .
One of the items was an easy chair ( over-stuffed parlor chair ) that she told me was purchased when her and her husband
got married right after WWII . This was around 1982 . Over the years , the chair got a lot of use and deteriorated . When it
was all broken down - I took it to a restoration shop and they charged me $1200 to reupholster and restore with all new and
modern materials . The frame was made from maple - very nice . This restoration was done about 10 years ago and the
chair still looks new ! I still have it and use it quite often . Some of that old stuff is worth repair and saving .
i have missed u all greatly .. especially doing house clear outs ... its always interesting to see what people kept and the treasure u will find ...i hope this all means we r going to see more of u Alex and fam ?!?! have a blessed rest of ur weekend and upcoming week so glad ur back and firing on all cylinders Alex !!! lol
Alex!! The CLEAR PYREX PANS WITH HANDLES IN THE KITCHEN HAS 2 LIDS, ONE FOR EACH POT. THE SECOND LID WAS RIGHT THERE ON THE KITCHEN SHELF SITTING IN A ROUND PLASTIC CONTAINER OF SOME SORT. Hope you find this message and that lid! Loving this series!
Just adding a comment for boost so that they hopefully see this.
I hope he sees this …
I'm not sure the all-caps will help much. The events depicted in these videos all happened weeks ago.
@ DOH!! 😖 ahhh well.
I thought it was a coffee pot !!!
That new wood burning stove is gorgeous! Those are wonderful and very expensive.
Great episode Alexander, Melissa, and Abigail!. Love love love the whole house clean outs.
The silver tray and little cups do go together. There's a hole on the bottom of the little cordial cups on the bottom. They fit on the tray.
I actually said out loud" yes they do go with that stand, look at the holes in the bottoms" lol
It's a boiled egg holder, you might find spoons to go with it. It's a beautiful house.
I love that you gave so many things to the young couple. They must have thought that they had won the lottery when really they were helping lighten your charity load. A win win!!
Alex, I like your old introduction much better than the new - you were so much more animated.
Alex, your videos are interesting and fun. Catching a glimpse of how people live and what the collect is captivating. Thanks for taking us along your journey.
We bought a "Gardenway Cart" in the late 1970s. Used it for everything. 50 years later ( Oh my! ) it's still being used and is in good shape! They are excellent! Great find!
It's great to see bare patches of floor begin to appear. The owners certainly kept an eye on time. Hope some of the timepieces have value. Are you doing an auction before Christmas? All of the decorations and wrapping materials should sell well. Good luck to you and your mighty crew.
A lot of this stuff was probably in the auction earlier this week.
@@GuyWithTheDogs No matter how many times Alex or others tell people these videos come out long after the items are sold, they still think this is in real time lol. Do you still do the drinking game? 🤣
@@justmeiniowa It's the same situation for every successful TH-cam creator. People often don't realize that the videos depict events that happened in the past, and that these videos aren't episodes of a network sitcom where the characters interact with one another all the time and that they don't know on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly basis what is going on in their friends' lives.
To answer your question, I responded with "Taking a drink!" to the first person (in the first episode) who suggested that Alex change his style of filmography, but apparently Alex or Melissa deleted the comment...so I'll respect their wishes if they don't want to see those comments. The result, though, is that I have to cut out half my drinking...so maybe it's a good thing. 😉I don't think that they'll ever convince people that Alex is quite aware of every other piece of videography equipment and is making a conscious choice to do it his way.
I imagine, though, that those same people would have seen Ansel Adams' iconic black and while photography, and opined that, "If only he had used color film, he would really have had something!
I think you should spray the hornets nest after sundown when all the hornets are asleep. Doing it before dark means that all the hornets that are outside the nest come back, can't get in, and have nothing better to do but buzz around the area angrily...
Love the blue Delft Coffee Grinder! So nice donating to the young couple! :)
You guys make me smile. Keep up the great work! It's SOOO great that you get to make money doing something you love (AND that helps others!!!!!)!
Alex and family, I always enjoy your cleaning out houses videos. These people have a lot of nice things. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your time here as I know you love doing this. Take care and I’ll see you in the next video❤️🥰👍
Good on you helping the young couple out.alot of interesting things❤
Love watching your progress, generosity and conservation efforts to keep as much out of the landfill as possible 🥰🇨🇦
Love Love Love watching you again
Great to see another house clearance series Alex, hello from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Since you are looking for missing rings……I noticed the unused nylon stocking boxes and remember that my mother-in-law once told me that she had stashed her special jewelry in her nylon stocking boxes because thieves wouldn’t think to look there. Sure enough, when we were sorting her things after her passing, we found her treasures!
Your humor is so fun. Your commentary about the "neat stuff", the battle with the angry wasps and hornets and the " Clampetts" just makes me laugh. I grew up with a stereo console cabinet similar to that one. When I was in college, my parents sold it and I was so disappointed. I wanted them to keep it for me to use when I had a home to put it in. I didn't get that home for another ten years, so I guess it was good they sold it. I don't think the couple/family in the home EVER sold anything. Their stuff dates back to the sixties. Those creepy head things would definitely be sent to charity just to get them to stop watching me! Oh, I think it's funny that Melissa uses your full name. Each time she says 'Alexander' I think oops, he's in trouble. LOL
luv the old console stereo, my parents had one back in the 70s
So much stuff and not even hoarders either! Lovely home full of snug charm! ❤ XXX
Not all hoarders are messy
@@bobbipetty7411 Petty by name...
I am enjoying this house clear out series. I grew up with wall papered walls. This house has really nice wall paper selections. I much prefer wallpaper to paint. It makes a much cozier feel to add home. 😊😊😊
Absolutely beautiful home and belongings ❤ A life well lived and hope they do well and that your efforts are well rewarded. Absolutely love you guys
Walmart is cheaper for boxes...that couple really scored when you geve them all that stuff, maybe they can come back for the king sized bed... :)
Pyrex double boiler
You folks have serious determination, infinite patience and great attitudes. That teddy sure looked like a Steiff. 👍
26:03 I hope you thoroughly went through the couch cushions for those two missing rings? A typical place to find forgotten things. "And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost." - Galadriel
Galadriel? Do you know something about these rings that we don’t? 😂
The duck wallpaper border is so cute! ❤
I think it's a great idea that you gave those things away time is money.
I just moved and i got all my boxes from the local IGA. Every day they had a stack of about 30 different size boxes. 1.75 might not seem expensive to you, but to this 81 year old, not something I wanted to spend. Love to see you clearing the house. I miss the videos you did in your store.
Buying boxes is nuts. They could easily tell the charity they need the boxes back.
I love these exploration videos! Thanks Alex for sharing!
What a great treasure hunt thanks for sharing this with us blessings from North Texas ❤
I'm in N. Texas too.
Thanks for the video 🙏
BRAVO Alex, Melissa and Abigail, 'The Clock House' is slowing letting you guys divest it of it's 'treasures..
Love watching your posts, I hope the wasps/hornets do not 'get you' too.
Sending my heartiest best wishes to all, from Wales.
Love watching the progress. So great to see you giving things away too. Love that music consol. It was the same one we had when I was a kid - many great albums played on that as we danced around the house.
When you go to donate either ask for your boxes back or ask if they have any spare boxes.😊 I think you are going to have a lot more than 10% of the contents to sell.
Looks like a roll of paper by the fire extinguisher in garage.The other lid to the Pyrex double boiler was on the counter.❤️So fun to see the young couple going with their treasures!
Yep, Alex thought it was a percolator, but it was a double boiler. I'm sure he's probably realized that. Is it just me or does this look like it was filmed in the summer or early fall?
I finally subbed after following you for over a year. THIS is the content that made me first look at your channel.
Thank you for sharing this video. You did the kids a solid. They will talk about the things given to them for years to come. Great job!
Some of that stuff Melissa held back in the kitchen would be a definite sale in our auctions, here in Southern Ontario. We do downsizing and estate auctions, so we're always looking for "anchor" items to move stuff that's less desirable. Those pottery french onion soup bowls would be such an item. Also, Tim Horton's for boxes. They're uniform in size, so easily stacked, and usually very sturdy. Bonus that there's Timmies everywhere lol
They spent their money on nice stuff👍🏾
So many treasures....goodness me.....$ in your coffers for sure....Love these clear outs.... Happy Charities too.... Best always...From BC PS I Love that rug in the living room!
Those 'creepy' heads now explains all the ladies nylons in packages you found. My elderly great aunts loved making them! You fill them with stuffing & then stitch them to define faces. Often times they made bodies as well. They liked making those instead of carving the apples that dried & looked like old dolls. I can't believe I forgot about that! (And I'm still drooling over SO much stuff you're finding!) LOL!
Maybe some time you'll find a bee keeping suit. IF you do, don't sell it, save it for times you come across a wasp nest. 😆😁🙂
There are some really cool things in that house and the barns.
Glad to see house cleanouts again
I kinda love the ceramic chickens from the tea trolley. Though, having just moved 2000 miles i downsized a ton and am continuing to downsize so that my kids never have to hire someone like you!😂❤
Was a great giveaway❤
Those Oil lamps! So Nice !!!
Wish there was footage of you running away from the wasps😂 Would be great content! Like that 🐿️ Scaring the crap out of you😆 Many videos ago!!
That glazed rectangular pot (baking dish) with the lid is called a terrine. It is used for specific dishes that escape me right now of course.
You answered it - terrines. You can make all sorts of terrines in it. I think salmon terrines were popular.
@@RiverDanube Yes, thank you. I guess my kind of sarcasm didn't come through lol. Your suggestion of a salmon terrine is better than the one I was thinking of with liver.
Those old radio consoles are great to repupose into nice sound bar for a TV stand. A Bluetooth receiver and an older stereo receiver. Replace the speakers. Hide it all inside. You can use it as a Bluetooth speaker for phone or tablet as well. I'm currently getting components as cheap as I can. The Bluetooth relievers aren't that expensive. Trying to go thrift shop for the rest.
Alexander you're a very generous person, with a good heart!❤
But I would've called that clean out edition The Clock House...they had lots and lots of clocks.😊
What A Beautiful Gesture. Passing Along Items That Will Complete Their New Accommodations.
You Are A Blessed Soul Alex.
Thank You For Sharing Your Journey.
I just LOVE these videos so much! I really missed them.🥰
Very interesting! Fun to see. Nice e intro music and voice.
Some really nice stuff in that house.
Looks like a really nice property. Going to make someone a beautiful home
A lot of cool stuff there Alex
I always enjoy watching your house.Clear out and all your videos😊
Love this series, thanks!
Lucky young folks. Great support
The decorative Rooster and Hen is from 1986 ish. I bought a pair here in the USA for about $50 each. It was fun seeing them in your video. 😊
Looking good, love the roosters ❤
I sure enjoyed watching this!! Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Another fun video Alex and Melissa! Alex put that vintage entertainment center in your truck and bring it to me and you can just leave the albums in it. I live a little south of you, just down here in South Carolina, USA. lol 😂
It is best to spary hornets nest early in the morning or later at night when it is colder. The hornets are less active then. Great finds in the house.
Lighting a few greenhouse fumigaters and sealing the doors overnight will stun them and allow you to finish them with hornet spray.
The 19 year olds, that was so kind of you to give them some free stuff. With the cost of living these days, every little bit helps .
Did you know Tupperware filed for bankruptcy ? I keep finding their vintage Jello molds at the thrifts . I pay 5-6 $ for them and resell them for 20-25 . There seems to be a never ending supply of them.
Stores like Costco, Shoppers Drug Marts always have boxes . Just go dumpster diving for them . I’ve also noticed U -Haul boxes are cheaper than Home Depot .
Yeah, how awesome of him to give 'em some free things. When first moving out, most people don't bring much with 'em from their parents' house. Going from just a bedroom to a whole house means empty rooms. It's not like your average teenager is gonna have a spare dining table and chairs in their room, let alone a couch, a console table, a coffee table, plates, cups, cutlery, large decorations... Upsizing takes just as much effort as downsizing.

Love watching you go through this stuff with as much care as I think any stranger could! ❤
Great vid
Love watching these
That teal blue kitchen sink. Wow!
Fascinating video. Live to see all these nice things being sorted and going your way charity where people can use them or for you to sell to support your business. ❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos, thank you for sharing ❤❤
Wow!! Music Machine was one of my favorites as a kid. My grandma had a bible bookstore and I remember getting that record from there.
I have no idea how many hours I spent listening to Music Machine! I also recognized Evie's picture when he pulled out her record!
@oh Evie!! 😃 it made me want to try to find it. It had a major influence on me til this day, whenever I get into a situation when I start getting frustrated with someone not doing things up to my standards; I think about Herbert and start singing “Have Patience”. 😆
