Love these house cleanouts. Is it just me or is middle part of this video the same as Part 4?

That was no slip up on Alex’ part, he was just testing us to see if we were all paying attention, I guess we passed 😅!!!

Anyone else get deja vu in the middle of this video?

14:51 to 22:12 (approximately) is footage from part 4 so don't panic thinking you're losing your mind. Lol Yes, you've most likely seen that section before. I and others were all thinking 'Haven't I seen this?" :-) My favorite find of the day was the books! As a child, I loved the Pooh stories and as a teen enjoyed the Avonlea tv series and books. As a young adult, I was able to travel from the U.S. to Prince Edward Island and see it for myself. Lovely place!

Alex you should have kept the Dr. pill bottles in the canisters and the other stuff you through away. People buy them for movie props to go in Apothecary, pharmacy store scenes

I can believe you threw away those medical bottles!

Omg, you trashed the water colors! That killed me! I collect old sets used or not, yeah they're lower than $10-$20 but aaaaagh! And match books

There are so many items I saw you put into the trash bin that I wished you saved! Printed promo paper items, brand new box of tongue depressors and slides, the little bottles etc. They may not be quick high priced selling items for you but there are plenty of vintage collectors who would enjoy these items. 😢😢

Vintage watercolor paint tins are collectible but I don’t know prices.

I can’t believe you threw away that little case, full of tiny plastic, cowboys and horses. Those are precious. I sure hope you can dig those out of the trash. You’re breaking my heart.

I think I'm experiencing deja vu ...have I not seen the basement footage already ??? xxJanieDundee

Hopefully you didn't toss out the Doctor's medication vials (the ones in the metal containers). Those should go with the rest of the medical supplies. $$$ People collect Pharmacy related things and I bet those would sell.

Just clean up the coffee table. It look ok Just needs polishing.

Some people like those metal paint sets, even if the paint is used. They use them in small displays.

I can't believe you tossed the beautiful little coffee table.

Someone would love to refinish that wood coffee table Alex!

That coffee table isn't as bad as you think. That haziness is just in the varnish. A lot of times you can rub it out with wet cigarette ashes or fine sandpaper. If not, you can pour rubbing alcohol over the area. It will dissolve the varnish so you can scrape it off and won't disturb any original stain. One it's clean and dry, use a lint free rag to rub a new layer of varnish on. Good as new. It's a nice table. I would try to sell it to someone who does refinishing or a DIY person.

Keep any old documents, postcards etc., that can be sold as an ephemera bundle!! ;)

I looked it up and the poem in the diary is called Antigonish by William Hughes Mearns, written in 1899. It became a hit song called The Little Man Who wasn't There. I'm sure I will be one of many who will Google it!

At 6:41 or so he threw away the missing knob for that vanity 😭

🤭There are artist that would buy the Reeves watercolor pallet and other old art supplies! 👩‍🎨 🥁❤❤😂👍🏼

That line of poem from the Antigonish was used in the movie "Identity" starring John Cusack, 2003. The first time I heard that quirky line in the movie, I loved it and had to check it out. I've been sharing that poem with many people over the years! Scared the crap out of 10 year old niece and nephew. They were scared to walk up the stairs to bed! They did survive and are much older now, lol.

Alex, that table in front of the blue loveseat…I think someone could strip it and re-stain, varnish, and it would be usable. Could be an antique.

It's amazing to me that a house on the other side of the world, would contain so many things that my mother and father had in their home in Australia. Also that Edwardian Lady looks just like my sister.

All of that old paper, like the 1972 income tax booklet is an amazing treasure trove that junk journal makers like myself dream of!

Please don’t dump that beautifully vanity. It would make a fabulous project piece to renovate. There are many DIY refinishers who’d love that. I love that set! 😊

Alex l don’t know if you realise but about 17:00 into the video we started watching video from the other day in episode 3 or 4!!

Those glass bottles in the metal cylinders are very interesting. Someone might be interested for auction minus the pills.

Thx. this was fun. .. it crushed my heart though, when you threw away, without a second thought, the "well used" water color set box. This is the kind of thing i would have jumped up and down of joy about, if I would have found it in a donation pile. ^^ It seemed to be a good quality water color set as well. They are really worth a lot to someone who likes to paint and who's in a "no / low budget" situation. .. especially those small color boxes, which are very neat for "urban sketching" tours, because they are small and well to handle on the go.

I am Swedish, and we have one of those angel chimes that my mother brings out every christmas!

My mom found a really old diary in the trash and added to it giving historical updates. I found it years after she passed away and I wrote in it updating it again. It is an interesting read for any historian.

Those old tea cup and saucers can be worth a bit of money and sought after by collectors. Even one servings. The entry in the diary is a poem, one of my favorite ones . The Doctor 's pill containers and such would make a great set to sell, apothecary /medical stuff sells good here. So interesting all the things you find in a clean out. I have taught myself to restore old photos and have gained a great appreciation of them and the history behind the photos people and places. I wish I could see the photos and family names, when I find sets in a yard sell, I scan and upload files onto family search to add them to family trees so they have photos and such for the people. I do love preserving history so our kids can learn about the past.

Thank you, Alex! It was interesting that there was a clip from a former video folded into today's video....??

Groundhog Day maybe? It must be very frustrating to start with a nearly empty room only to find it full again halfway through a video 😂

I like the old pens. They were cheap but worked well.

I'm drooling over the miniture desk. Duh? I'ma dollhouse addict. ❤

The Madame RAC series spoiled us rotten, and that's exactly how she would want it...

Keep the avon and other beauty products people will buy them to use for decor and crafting!

🙋‍♀️❤ It's just evil that there is only a Hot Wheels brochure! Maybe the little man on the stair 😂

seeing the rugs on the floor made me think of all the rugs that were dumped! I bet they were actually good rugs and someone would have loved them..

It always amazes me how much anything Pyrex or Corning has become so collectible and so pricey!

The diary entry is actually part of a poem! I knew I had heard it before and just had to look it up again , it is titled “Antigonish”

Love that little desk❤😊so cute❤😊

Nooooooo! Did you throw away the Reeves watercolor paint tin? I'm crying if you did. I collect vintage paint tins. Sobbing. And the pencils......no no no, don't throw them away. I'm going to go sit in the corner and pout. I can't believe it....you threw the other watercolor tin away, SOB, SOB, SOB. Pick them out of the garbage and send to me....please.

Throwing away the pencils and that paint box in the first part hurt my soul.

You tossed the Bakelite desk knob away

I wonder if the jumbled nature of everything in the basement could mean that whenever the owner needed to do some quick housework, they got a box and dumped everything that was on counters and cluttering the living spaces into the box and threw it in the basement and then ran the vacuum around, just in time for guests to arrive.

Maple Leafs lighter is at least couple hundred Canadian, one place showed $471. Super find!

Maybe you just threw the drawer knob in the 🗑 😮

WOW you could have gotten money for those glass medication bottles. Especially bottles with no mold lines in them from pouring them when made. I LOVE THEM!!! Also fun putting flower cuttings in during the summer, in window sils, a little food coloring in the water 💐. Fun watching you. I do get anxiety at times because such BIG jobs can be overwhelming! Great work and GREAT help from everyone!!! I've seen SO MANY families just throw everything out when loved ones pass away without even looking through items!!!! It's INSANE!!! That's why at a young 60 I've downsized and given my 37 and 25 year young children whatever they wanted already!!! All my beautiful wooden furniture pieces, China, etc. Western Upstate New York Nurse here 💕

Dang Alex you impress me. Such a good man doing the right thing for the right reasons. Please pay off your compound and cars you're going to keep. You're lucky your kids are so smart, they will earn college. The piano lady pushed you over the top. But you took the risk. There are really bad people out there, just ignore them. You can't always do everything right, keep doing what you are doing. My wife and I are about 15% assets and income with no debt at all which took tons of work. Last year was horrible here, interest rates, inflation, rents, stocks, taxes and we still with all that NOISE we still paid $ 87,000 income and 3 years without touching nest egg. We are giving more because of you brother. I'm not kidding. I play bodhran everyday, look it up. You are talented also. 5 years ago I beat stage 4 TONSIL CANCER, watching you and you wonderful family. For that I thank you Sir. Neal APOLLO BEACH FLORIDA SEMPER FI

That coffee table at 26:25 is beautiful, if I lived in Canada I would gladly drive to pick it up. It's not in great shape NOW but my goodness, it would be gorgeous after a little refurbishing :)

I had forgotten that paint pallets used to come in the tin boxes. Fun!

I think you threw out the desk drawer knob with that roll of tape that was stuck to the tea cup saucer, approximately at the 6:34 time stamp!

I a soapmaker and mice love soap. Especially if it's made from natural fats and oils.

On the internet I was looking up a book and I found an exact copy of the giraffe It was a decoration for a cake! The side without the ear actually had tiny flowers attached to it!

My Mum has a seahorse brooch and it has a real Ruby for its eye so I guess that may be a Ruby as well in the one you found.Enjoying watching you going through this 🏠

I can’t believe you threw out those vintage Christmas candles!!

People collect those watercolor paint tins and put new pigments in.

Clearing the Dresser and Vanity Drawers. Was surprised to see you taking out the little boxes, paint cases and those boxes for wooden matches from the drawers and just tossing them in the trash can, without a peak inside.. Sometimes even the old matchboxes have coins and tokens, rather then matches. It pays to pop all those little boxes open on the way to the trash.

The coffee table at 26.26 is probably post war 1940s-50s (could be 30s). Solid wood, and might benefit from something like Howard Restor a Finish. Solid wood furniture isn’t trash.

Aaah take that little table to auction someone local will buy it for 10 bucks refinish it and sell it for $100.

My mom had rhat exact coffee table and 2 matching end tables when I was a kid in the 1950s and 1960's, Brings back memories of childhood.

That set with the yellow casserole is the largest, then half that size in blue, then two smaller red ones. I got my set in 1962 as a wedding present. I still have the yellow casserole ond one red one. It was a very nice and well appreciated gift.

I’m amazed at how much stuff with collectible value you and your team throw away.

Them old love letters wrapped it blue ribbon , could be something special ,

I would have sold the Dr. containers and glass slides.

Oh man, I would love to have that coffee table. It would be gorgeous if it was refinished.

Don't toss that coffee table, please. A furniture flipper that paints furniture would love to have it. If I were closer to you, that would be me!

Mt aunt always kept a can of Avon bayberry spray in her bathroom, to keep things fresh. Lol The metal object with the suction cups that you found is a very early car top carrier for luggage. My parent's had one in the 60's for our old pink rambler.

I think you tossed the second drawer knob out just before going to the second drawer second drawer knob i think was in the first drawer

Hi😊...whenever you find old art supplies, keep them. I am an artist and I know people are buying vintage paint, crayons, pencils. They can be pretty valuable. Love your channel. Have a nice day ❤.

Alex if you found that desk on a bookshelf look for the book Hitty (probably and orange book). Since she was a doll collector maybe that is Hitty's desk and is very collectible.

“The soap even ate the Palmolive soap” 😂

I am 65 years old and a lot of these items take me back to my childhood, even the stuff that’s before my time I have seen from my parents and grandparents. Lol, Cabbage Patch dolls are newer items to me….😂

WONDERFUL all that you're donating 🙌. Melissa... The Tea Cups you can Super Glue the Cup TILTED then use metal hanger with a Shepard Hook from the tree and put jelly/jam in it for the Humming Birds!!! Or just Bird Food. They look pretty and the Birds Love it!!! I saw it at a friend's one day and made several. Tons of Hummingbirds eating the jam!!!

If they are spray cans from the seventies, then they also have freons inside. Which makes them hazardous waste.

So, I would start collecting all of the useful items you come across, and make yourself a "house cleaning kit" include lightbulbs, garbage bags, papertowels, totes boxes, cleaning supplies, gloves masks... you might have already such a kit, but I have a dedicated kit that goes with me when i pick up auction items from a house and another when I repair furniture for people

Looked again... noooooo another watercolor tin. You can still use them... or the tin for new watercolors... THAT US GOLD YOU TROW AWAY... ALEXANDER... I WILL COME AFTER YOU FOR THAT...

Keep the Singer Featherweight! Your girls are crafters and these wonderful machines not only are a handy size they are easy to tune and repair yourself!

You have such a good looking family, Alex.

Really love the special care you take as you sort through this place and marvel at the discoveries. There are some beautiful pieces in this place. As an old book collector, those were especially some thrilling finds. Great work!

As a collector of vintage women's bits and bobs, I'd definitely bid on a lot of just misc beauty/women's stuff. Spent makeup compacts (like the metal ones and lipstick tubes), hair accessories, random non-precious metal charms, etc. like dump it all in a box and put it up for sale haha. Just for future reference 😊

The stopper that you found with the funky '70's ashtray in the previous video goes with the green pitcher & glass that is on the chest in this video.

Refinish the old coffee table!

As soon as you said Rock Island line the song started playing in my head.

I bet Josh could do something with the coffee table

nooooooo...you didn't just throw away the Reeves old water color tin!

I have a small desk exactly like the one you went through. It belonged to my husband's grandmother.

Rum and butter ❤ and your comedy and puns are great!! 😂 Great job!!

My Mom used to buy tons of Avon Bayberry spray so she could use it all year, they only sold it at Christmas time ❤

Such a lot of effort. The coffee table would be great if painted..the chabby chic trend. ❤

I actually yelled at the screen to NOT throw away those paints.

Be sure not to pitch that old Reeves watercolor tin. They are pretty popular sellers. They don’t sell for a lot, but they are popular. Lots of watercolor artists like to empty them and reuse the tins for their own wc pans or for “whatever.” As you know, the old logos and packaging colors are very appealing.

i love that red stool in the kitchen! my grandma had one. she also had the kitchen table like that.

You're such a hard worker! I so admire your integrity.

I'm a junkjournaler and I have to tell you, everytime you threw out a piece of those vintage papers, a tear came to my eye! What incredible work you do! Have been binge watching since I found your chanel a month ago. Love it!!!

White markings on a laquered table are easy to remove; sounds dangerous, is not really: pour some cologne/ any strong alcohol on the surface and set it on fire. It will make it look as new, done it many times.

The paint boxes would sell.. artists would actually pay pretty nicely for them, especially with the paint still in them, even well used. But they can be reused for new water colors. Also, are there any colleges around there with like carpentry majors? Instead of throwing away older wooden furniture, maybe they'd take it as a donation to fix up .. as a class on restoration or something???

"Every time I clean out a house there are more teacups." This reminds me. Have you found any alcohol yet?
