Kind of unusual to store 5 gallon pails of margarine in a shed. It's more likely they were repurposed as storage containers. They could of been filled with used motor oil, nuts and bolts, Playboy magazines ... but it's far more than likely they were filled with redline hot wheels! :-)
Those are the kind of margarine and butter containers we used to get in our bakery. They probably knew someone with access, and got some for storage. I have flour and sugar in mine.
I'm almost certain I saw a Canada Post "monotainer" in the garage. It's a steel cage that folds up flat. It should have a plate welded to it, identifying it as Canada Post property. They never sell them off to the public. What happens is, some large companies get large quantities of mail delivered in these cages. The driver picks them up on his next delivery. Sometimes people take them home for their own use. I'm pretty sure C.P. would take it back, no questions asked.
Someone in that house worked in a Resturant, and brought the buckets home for storage. They actually make nice storage bins and car wash buckets, I've even seen folks use them as planters for veggies.
I'm so excited to see that you will be on the Vintage Rescue Squad show on the Thrifter Junker Vintage Hunter channel Monday night. I've been watching you since before the Potter's House series and Misty (TJVH) and everone at VRS are part of my vintage thrifting community. It is going to be a great show!
Van's nice but where its rusty is where it meets the floor board. So could be more work than its worth. But the custom windows are well worth the 200 bucks. And yes we love our old Van's, I own a 73 Dodge.
So much good stuff...to the right person. There is so much iron and metal they could load up that trailer and scrap most of what's there. Clean out and make a few bucks.
That van would certainly love to be saved by a vanner, custom vans are getting popular again. The rust was not too bad, I bet one of the new radiators in garage was for it, and probably the wheels are someplace, maybe those were the two up on the garage shelf too?
My Mum had a Peugeot bike, It was great to ride.. I use to love having it on a top gear and racing to and from school. It wasn't very comfortable and was pretty heavy and a little too big for me but I still rode it anyway. She gave it away not long ago. It looked the same as the one in the video.. I think her handle bars were different though.
Everyone is so different. The only thing I saw that would interest me was the windmill . Oh, and maybe that hammer. You can never have too many hammers.
Pet peeve: it's so easy to prevent/stop this kind of rust damage: lanoline grease/Fluid Film - or any sort of cheap or junk oil/grease you can put in cavities, even spraying the rig with chain oil
like how you left the radiators so they could benefit from the scrap value of them, very thoughtful. and I like you're friend's name, as it's my sirname
That van would have made a good curiosity inc van! Like the scooby van. Such a shame about the rust. It would be great for advertising the business.... to the curiosity mobile.. haha.
Hi I guess you can fix up the bikes the windmill was cool but the rest was just junk .Oh the hanging chain was worth taking .I agree Alex should have called Josh .
Alexander, if I were to tell you to take anything you could use for free I really would mean it! I’d even pay you if you could suggest who might also want to take something!
Hey Alex, interesting pronunciation of Peugeot! I would have thought coming from a dual language speaking country that you would know this! 😜 He he! Interesting vlog , poking around the old yard. Cheers
13:42 That's a vacuum, right? My Gramma had one in the coat closet but I don't think she ever used it when I was visiting. I just saw it in the video and had a flash of memory, sitting on it in the closet when the cousins and I were playing Hide & Seek.
Your sense of do it right, treat people right,... you're good to the core Alexander. Thanks for sharing...👍

I wish
Norm, that thought will give Alex restless sleep tonight. Hahaha
Since I have been watching your hoarding videos, I have cleaned out my house and become a minimalist hahaha :)
Your integrity is always inspiring. I enjoy watching all of your adventures. 👍🏼🤍
wkjeom, I doubt they give a rat's...
"It smells like the 70's in here." LOL!!! 😂😂😂
Pot ?
That was so nice to see! And you are awesome to pay them too. Thank you for taking us along!

Love going on these little adventures with you.

All the industrial garage stuff, and a domestic ironing board lol!
It's always fun to see what people are getting rid of. And what you find worth taking. Learning experience.
That van is so cool, I love the colors! Such a shame about the rust.
Great video. I love looking at old stuff in garages. You never know what You will find.😀👍♥️🇨🇦🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯
Glad you were able to get some items from that garage. I really liked the windmill. Thank you.
Wow! Didn't expect to see you again this evening!! Always love your videos Alexander 🧭🗺🌎
I would of got a shovel out of garage and dug up the ruebarb plant in back yard!!! Love it but doesn't grow well in Virginia. Angel from Norfolk!!
They need to call a clean out scrapper instead if Alex.
I love how your brain turns what it's receiving into a polite phrase that says it all "It smells like the 70's in there". 😁
Margarine is one molecule shy of of being plastic, try it inst still good! LOL!
If I were only younger, I loved the older ford engines and those old school standard transmissions. You just live right

Dude it's the Scooby van!

What is this? Link?
Always an adventure in these drive alongs!
Just going to bed this popped up so had to watch..lol 😂
Shaggin' wagon......LOL, Alexander!
I feel he will go back and buy it...blessings for a great deal...love his video's from Red Deer Alberta Canada
I hope not.@@normajeanheward7118
Yeah, a little saucier than Alex usually jokes.
Nancy why not it's a very nice classic van
Great one-liner!
When you walked to the backyard and there were those old junkie cars I yelled NO ALEX! 😂
I think there was an entire chorus of us! 😂
@@Lucinda_Jackson OH yeah!!! LOL
@@Lucinda_Jackson Yep. 😄
Oh me too. When he open that rotten van I shouted "Don't do it Alex!"
@@nancymontgomery8897
That van was pretty grody...🤢
Hello.from.locked down Melbourne, Australia.......
Oh look away, junk cars Alex......
Hi neighbor. Locked down in Adelaide.
These finds are fun to go through. Thanks!
Can’t wait to see your new adventure
WOW, a real boogie van!
Pump jack! 10:50 always useful for moving heavy stuff on pallets.
You always meet such interesting people!! 🚘💛🚘🧡🚘❤️

Canada so large, so many old clunkers/cars lurking in back yards..... and Alex right in the middle of it!
Everyone is so different. The only thing I saw that would interest me was the windmill . Oh, and maybe that hammer. You can never have too many hammers.
The engine looks like maybe a 302, 2 barrel Carb. Have fun..👍
The Modine 729 radiator goes for between $250 and $350 new.
That windmill was cool. Glad you found stuff you could use. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Fun video. I loved it.

Love your family from Red Deer Alberta...I will get the gift for you next week...
I feel like you are going to buy the van at the end of video
Too Bad Josh didn't go on this pick. no telling what he could use!
Same!
Exactly what I was thinking.
He would have snagged all those chains, bike chains or not.
With the motors and other auto parts and the stove and the rest of the metal there's a good scrap load
Plus the two vehicles
In Canada we call them wheel covers. At one time early in the 20th century they did cover the entire wheel.
That van would have made a good curiosity inc van! Like the scooby van. Such a shame about the rust. It would be great for advertising the business.... to the curiosity mobile.. haha.
I sure could use that front grill & dog house wooden console cup holder for my Dodge camper van, lol !!!
"It smells like the 70s in there."
You should take that old stove and have it refurbished. They sell really high. In fact, I want one badly.
Looks like a fun pic!
I would have gone for the Lincoln. It looks great.
G'day from South Australia xxx
Hey there fellow South Aussie. Hope you are staying safe in this fierce weather.
@@tiaking2002 good lockdown weather, stay warm 😊
Another South Aussie, watching my favourite TH-cam channel and keeping warm.
Hi I guess you can fix up the bikes the windmill was cool but the rest was just junk .Oh the hanging chain was worth taking .I agree Alex should have called Josh .
stuffologist
you just added a new word to my vocabulary
Did I see what I think I saw in the wooden locker in the garage. (slowly pans away and closes lid)
Had to go back and look lol 08:11
@@justmeiniowa then you hear him say "I think I hear him coming". Almost busted with the stash
Quickly skipped over the Playboy mag. Smooth.
The Mac Mats would have been a good find as well as the kitchen cupboard outside.But you still came home with some good "stuff".
Alexander, if I were to tell you to take anything you could use for free I really would mean it! I’d even pay you if you could suggest who might also want to take something!
Fun pick! Josh would have been helpful on this one. Also - nice shirt! Very snappy.
So glad you got the windmill! It’s really cool. You are such a good person!
i like those old multi colored vans or ones with pictures painted on the side,
I swear I could smell "old truck" when you opened the door of the Dodge truck.
Time to do some hubcap yard art.
Those 1970's vehicles look like some of Dean's Greasy Flips from Alberta's own Cold War Motors.
That boogie van could be amazing if the right person were to buy it!
The EIS brake fluid can also made brake wheel cylinders, I have a pair for my 1956 Olds. They appear to be out of the auto brake business
Maybe there are many Things for Hans or Joshua too....
always fun to go on adventures with you .... even into a mechanics garage ... good scavenging!
Too bad the van was so rusted out. ♥️
Lots of cool stuff, Liked
Looks like there was plenty of metal Josh could use!
No cars were acquired in this pick? The Lincoln looks to be in good shape. The bikes will clean up nicely too!
Hey Alex, interesting pronunciation of Peugeot! I would have thought coming from a dual language speaking country that you would know this! 😜 He he! Interesting vlog , poking around the old yard. Cheers
I thought not all of Canada is bilingual? Only certain parts where they speak French or both?
That van looks like the A-Team van.
Just wanted to say what a handsome man your Dad was! Also, that shirt is awesome and must be vintage
"Shaggin' wagon" lolol
Thank you for not mentioning the magazine and posters. It's a family-friendly channel!
Well the price couldn’t get any better 😂
New Ghostbusters movie coming in November. Looks cool. Just saw the trailer.
I owned that exact same model peugot push bike in the 70's
Saw you dodging the camera past those girly magazines. 😆
For which I say " thank you for being a gentleman, Alex" ~ my grandkids watch this show, & I recommend it as a good clean family show all the time.
Some light reading material 08:10
Pervy me noticed that right away!!!
I would think old issues would be worth something?
I think that Ford engine is a 351 Windsor. Not sure though.
Love your picking

I love your shirt, Alex!
Love the way you pronounce garage. I am from Yorkshire in England and we pronounce it "garridge".Does not have the same ring somehow! 😕
A Dodge Goodtime Van! My parents had one, shag carpet and all!
Your the man, man!!!
Do you really believe that there was margerine in those 5 gallon buckets?
Might have had a bakery or catering business.
Its what the Label says
Cool!
Buy the van! It could be a project to work on with your middle child.
All I seen was good scrap.
you're good at stuff. LOL
I Love, The Journey😊
