  • alrighty guys good afternoon how are we all doing  noon welcome to the highly anticipated video we  

  • told you we would be giving you a tour of the  Chalet the first house we're renovating here on  

  • the property and today is that day today is a day  and friends this place hasn't been inhabited since  

  • since the 20th century that sounds very dramatic  but the last time I believed to my knowledge that  

  • somebody lived in here it would have been 1999. so  it looks well it's interesting to say the least it  

  • looks so we're gonna take you in there and show  you we've we've some gems to show you inside yes  

  • and you did say it was spooky but the first time  I went in there I I it was better than I thought  

  • it would be yeah Sam was like this isn't that bad  and I was like oh okay that's very optimistic yes  

  • let's go with that it's interesting for sure  and so yeah we're gonna give you a full tour  

  • yes of a chalet a place that hasn't been lived  in for over 20 years here we go let's do it

  • so first things first I'll let you guys know  that I have been in here before you've been in  

  • here before and I have tidied up uh because I had  to have the roofers measuring things and also my  

  • electrician so there were spider webs all over  like you would just walk in and they would get  

  • stuck to your face to your arms so what I did I I  grabbed this squidgy I don't even know what this  

  • is called in English uh it's for like mopping  floors and like you know just pulling the water  

  • um so I just went around like this just grabbing  uh taking dominoes there's still a few but like  

  • this is amazing the first few people who came in  here were not very fortunate and yeah I think they  

  • were probably a little bit terrified uh but I also  cleaned the the floor area and this is the dirt  

  • that I collected this is 20 years worth of dirt  that I just uh kind of gathered into the center  

  • so we can see the floor quite frankly I didn't  know you did that yeah I was working on others  

  • otherwise it was just it kind of looked likehorror show so oh yeah this is presentable there  

  • um but well the first room we're in this could you  call it a foyer I suppose like an entrance room uh  

  • this would be where you take off your boots maybe  leave your coat uh it used to be an area that was  

  • actually open it was like a covered Terrace  but there used to be like no door no windows  

  • anything like that so at one point it was closed  and a door was put in to have additional living  

  • space but yeah that's kind of what this room is  and what do we have here uh it looks like an old  

  • wooden frame for for a window old chair some some  wine bottles a sealed well there's no wine left  

  • in it but it does have the cork in vintage yeah  vintage we've got some green what we call this  

  • mold what we call it Moss oh we're gonna we're  gonna call it moldy Moss moldy moldy Mossy walls  

  • uh wooden ceiling wooden like planks an old  Chandelier so yeah that is the the first room  

  • here the the entrance and I suppose we should  open some windows first why don't we open  

  • some windows so you can see a bit more like  daylight and we'll take you into the kitchen  

  • we are armed with flashlights we will be  needing this so and we go to look at John dude

  • [Music]

  • let there be light there is light  let's see if we go like this  

  • oh yes we can see now okay it  would help with the still with  

  • that Lantern though so now that we've  got light now that we have light and

  • uh let's come on in to the kitchen so uh right  now it's kind of well it is what it is what can  

  • I say let's give you the grand tour here we have  one of those old-fashioned Windows to slide food  

  • from the kitchen to the dining area a detailam very keen to keep I think that's super cool  

  • and then over here we've got the sink uh there's  like a kitchen cabinet cupboards up there drawers  

  • would there be anything in the drawers look at  that there's Cutlery spider webs too there's  

  • Cutlery what else we got uh plastic bags yeah  oh I can't open that one let's see what else

  • cup to be honest yes I I remember that cup  see you yes guys oh spider webs wow [Music]  

  • salt behind you gonna try it I don't think  so yeah so interesting fact about this house  

  • I lived in it for a while with my family with my  parents when we first moved here but then it was  

  • my uncle my aunt and my two cousins who who lived  in here so they were the last um residents of this  

  • house you could say what else do we have here we  have old furniture that I'm planning to restore  

  • lawnmower got a lawnmower but I'm super excited  for these chairs I'm going to find um somebody  

  • who you know does Woodwork and upholstery the  cushions are over here they need some TLC and  

  • what else we've got another cabinet area like work  station I don't even have the right vocabulary to  

  • describe a kitchen but that is the kitchen very  nice ceilings dark wood ceilings I'd love for you  

  • to show the Vintage stove a vintage stove which  we shall also be uh you know integrating into  

  • the house of course I'd love to actually like get  it working not just as decorative but yeah let's  

  • use an old-fashioned um we we had we saw one  of those when we were in Nova Scotia remember  

  • we did at a museum that was no it was in the  in the cabin we stayed at the entire Magoosh  

  • oh oh okay I'm thinking of somewhere else yeah  remember I do and then okay back here we've got  

  • a door uh an exit to the outdoors and then back  here this would be like the pantry um and it's  

  • where we have our water heater our like electric  box things like that this is actually a bathroom  

  • there's a toilet uh would you like to see  sure take my word for it let me come in  

  • and Shine the Light the toilet can you see yeah  can you see the toilette there's a sink guys yeah  

  • and over here this is a toilet toilet yeah yes  so so not so much a pantry more like a utility  

  • room and uh yeah a toilet okay so that is the  kitchen shall we go inside to the main part we  

  • should another door another key and we go to  the main living area flip that away [Music]

  • we're gonna need some light over here  let there be light peoples put two it's  

  • neat so let's set this one oh I'm so itchy  let's set this here and we'll turn this on  

  • and let's open let me just open some windows  first so you guys can see what we're getting  

  • up to in here wow this if you guys could  smell what I could smell you could smell  

  • if we had smell-o-vision guys there's a  smell-o-vision it'd be quite interesting oh

  • Tada also I believe we may have a b infestation  

  • so there's that they're definitely inside they're  living in the roof I can hear them I can see them  

  • so something to deal with try not to get stung try  not to get stung alrighty friends my my director  

  • here says I need a light through my face and  another to illuminate what I'm showing you  

  • that's right so basically I am now in the living  dining area so this right here where you see all  

  • these boxes it's just pillows blankets towels  boxes with old magazines dating back as far  

  • as the 80s yeah we're gonna show one of those  magazines yeah we'll find one there's cooking  

  • pans I found one oh yeah there's a magazine  you found the other day look at this yeah

  • fashion magazine look we're it's it says the  date here somewhere oh look right here October  

  • 10th 1987. there you this this oh yeah you're  right and then what else do we have here we have  

  • like old old stoves that used to run on kerosene  so not necessarily something you'd want to be  

  • using right now I'll show you over here I think  one of the last people that was looking after  

  • the house oh I'm losing my flashlight uh knew  that there was a leaky roof so they put a whole  

  • bunch of buckets there on the ground to collect  the water that was coming in I don't know if you  

  • can see that very well yeah no I mean let me go  here with this one should we go there all right so  

  • a phone flashlight because our batteries and our  flashlights are actually dying as I was saying one  

  • of the last people I guess who was looking after  this house knew there was a leaky roof so they  

  • left a whole bunch of buckets to collect water uh  so this is what has happened to the roof but were  

  • we not the roofers have been here this will be  replaced we are getting a new roof in so there's  

  • that by the way that phone is a much better light  is a much better light yeah we have old books oh

  • look at that oh nice I wonder whose books these  

  • are if they were my grandmas if  they were my cousins encyclopedia

  • we do have the Encyclopedia Britannica I believe  an illustrated encyclopedia um old doormats

  • some not Geo magazines that thankfully survived  the oh they look in good condition the water  

  • leakage and what else more heaters uh a broken  bed with uh old mattresses I believe will have  

  • to dispose of and just bags full of uh bed sheets  and duvets that is essential heater that is an  

  • old heater yes this one's an electric heater  look at that guys a base for a Christmas tree  

  • you get the vibe it is very very random I suppose  things that just didn't sell things that weren't  

  • worth taking back to Canada and yeah things that  have just been sitting here for a while so that  

  • is the main living area and then this is kind  of like uh like a second bedroom or maybe you  

  • could call it an office or a study because there  is no door it's just like an arched doorway that  

  • leads to this bedroom when I lived in this house  it was the bedroom that my sisters and I slept in  

  • um but it would make a nice little office  no a study oh yeah I like it I like the the  

  • arch that detail and while it will continue  to the master bedroom and the bathroom next  

  • let there be light peoples okay so we are now  in the main bedroom you could call it a master  

  • bedroom doesn't have an ensuite or anything  these were different times it's an 80 year  

  • old house uh but yeah it would be the main room  what is left in here we have a closet we have a  

  • painting of the Virgin we actually have a lot of  paintings uh just scattered around uh the room  

  • I don't know who these paintings belong to someone  in the family uh we have machetes we have uh axes  

  • we have uh this for the horses  I don't know the name in English  

  • we have maybe some old documents there's  some pictures there are pictures there  

  • are paintings paintings I should  say beautiful painting by Lugoff

  • um yeah you know it's just like old family  heirlooms I would imagine things that have  

  • probably been passed down we have uh some old  suitcases uh covered in in mold and then a  

  • night table a lamp an ax and a laundry basket  with folded clothes I imagine clean clothes  

  • somebody did laundry 20 years ago random  collection and check out the views here yes  

  • actually a lot of progress is being made out  there this they couldn't even see yeah like we  

  • we actually we cut through that when we first came  here yeah but our gardener our landscaper has been  

  • busy he's been doing an awesome job awesome  job he's cleared all around the house so the  

  • roofers will be able to come in and I suppose now  I should take you to the bathroom but first let's  

  • look at the ceiling we're trying to to salvage  the ceiling as much as we can I'll replace the  

  • planks that need to go but yeah the idea with  this renovation I want to keep it as a authentic  

  • as as close to the original as possible in every  regard so that's this room questions do you have  

  • questions so far let us know in the comments  if you have questions oh I'm sure there are

  • to the bathroom we go follow along so  

  • it's a pretty pretty standard bathroom for  Argentina you've got your toilet your bidet  

  • bathtub with shower got the window there the  little medicine cabinet a sink uh nice do you  

  • call these Subway tiles I think Subway tiles on  the floor they're in great shape actually yeah  

  • honestly I thought we were gonna have to do the  bathroom all over but I really like the Retro  

  • feel it has and like the tiles are in good shape  I wouldn't mind changing the toilet oh yeah sure  

  • sure like that's a little updated yeah toilets per  day and maybe the the lavatory the the sink yeah  

  • that can be changed you shower head we're good  yeah but the bathroom isn't going to be like a lot  

  • of work still gonna bring a plumber to have a look  at everything make sure you know the pipes are all  

  • good gotta see the situation with the septic tank  and all that but overall I'm pretty happy with  

  • the bathroom situation and right now it's just  being used as a storage room for old kerosene  

  • heaters that were used in the hotel not a great  method I know I know but it's what was used at the  

  • time it would make the rooms smell and the guests  would complain but like that was the way people  

  • were heating around these parts back in the 90s uh  so yeah that is the bathroom shall we go do some  

  • concluding thoughts outside yeah so that was the  tour what did you guys think yeah we're curious to  

  • know I'm thrilled with these new scissors Sam  found some new treasure they're considerably  

  • better than the ones I've been using I've just  been practicing with some sarsa yeah I can't wait  

  • to use them on that note like speaking of scissors  I would like to clarify on the channel That We're  

  • not clearing you can come over we're not clearing  like seven hectares seven hectares of land using  

  • little snipping scissors like this is something  that we do at the end of the day and it's kind  

  • of like fun gardening but we do have professionals  with real machines coming in because I feel like a  

  • lot of people think we're just like snip snipping  across seven hectares and okay admittedly we did  

  • clear a lot of the land around the house when we  first got here with scissors if we were gonna do  

  • that we'd be here for 20 years so how long yeah  it would take a while I get what you're saying but  

  • um yeah I mean the heavy duty stuff is being  taken care of we've created but we've done a
