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 like a horror 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 detail I am 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 well and also we gonna find there's uh oh wow lone glasses lone cups that's a nice looking 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
