CLEANING A HOARDER'S BASEMENT
My Grandpa has been passed away for almost two years, and I am finally getting around to cleaning his basement. My Grandpa did not like to get rid of anything, so with the help of Nave we cleaned the basement. The total project took us 130 man hours over the course of 7 days. My Grandpa's 102 year old vacant farm mansion is finally getting the TLC it deserves.
Thank you for watching!

I lost it when casually Cole says, "We got the interrogation room." Job well done you two! The question. Are you going to paint the basement? There is an amazing amount of space down there!
Im gonna be so disappointed when you have everything cleaned. Watching you clean is so satisfying.

You are a very lucky young man to have a young woman that has been that willing to help you with everything on the farm -- really enjoy your channel and the folks that appear on it. Daddy Cornstar reminds me of me when i was younger, GO DADDY GO
Don’t give Nave such a bad time! She’s a great partner!!
Cole, you exhaust me, just by watching you! I must admit, however, that you have also motivated me to clean up my own little farm. The previous owners basically left everything behind, as they were downsizing. Now, I am the one who gets the pleasure of sorting, and going thru everything. Your suggestion of breaking it down to smaller tasks/areas is good, as I am totally overwhelmed, when I look at all that needs to be done. You are an awesome young man!! Thank you for your inspiration, infectious smile, and wonderful attitude. God is truly GOOD!!!
Wow!!! Great job, Nave and Cole!!
Cole, you have a gem in Neva, I hope you are treating her right. She has a great personality, she isn't afraid of work and she she has a mind of her own. You can't get better than that!
Clip 9:27 You know she's a keeper when she feels comfortable enough around you to do this! Put a ring on it man!

Your Grandpa probably ended up with a bunch of stuff from your Great Grandpa that ended up in the basement (or maybe the attic...) The thing about cleaning out someone’s house when they’re gone is that each of those things was important to them at one point. They went to some trouble to find it, collect it, bring it home, store it, and probably move it five times! ;-) It’s kind of sad to see it all go, but it has no purpose for you now so it is time.

Sometimes it's just easier to save stuff than dispose of it. Throw it in a corner in the basement and forget about it. A lot of their stuff I saw is pure junk.
So, Cole, are those “safety toe” flip flops y’all are wearing to clean that cellar?🙂 By the way, I wanted to caution you about cleaning the attic with all that bird manure in it. That stuff can contain some nasty bacteria so you might want to hire a professional or at least get yourself a good respirator and a hazmat suit.

That is a terrible idea. DO NOT PAINT BASEMENT WALLS. Moisture gets into the blocks and can escape thru the inside wall. A dehumidifier takes care of moisture. Paint prevents the moisture from leaving the block, causing it to saturate the block and freeze in the winter. Have seen whole walls crumble within 10 years of painting. LEAVE THEM BARE.

Wow! Serial cleaning - maybe should be an Olympic event! You would be a sure winner as long as you had Nave helping! Good video - love the way you two work together, Pretty special that she volunteers for all that!

You are lucky to have found someone who is so ready to pitch in and help you with anything you need. She is indeed a keeper.
Cole, I hope you realize how fortunate you are to find someone like Hneiva. They aren't many young lady's that would help clean up a basement that's had so much stuff in it let alone clean very much of anything. Let her always know how much you care about her. I can tell she's crazy about you. I fall in love with you her and your family with every video you post. Keep up the good work.

The basement series was so satisfying to watch! It’s awesome how different a space can look after a deep deep clean!
We finished our basement Saturday!
Hey Cole, here's a hint for opening tool box drawers like at the 3:48 mark -- close all the drawers before opening the next one. It's a safety feature so the box doesn't tip due to the weight.
OMG ! My back hurts just watching what needs to go up the stairs : o
You can make a greenhouse out of those windows or cold frames. Lots of great projects for old windows. You guys are so cute together. I love watching you together.
Basement... power wash, sealer on the cement and then some light neutral color on the walls. A circle of bright color with a tag labeling every shut off valve (gas, water, power main) with a laminated schematic showing where they all are at the foot of the stairs.Label all the breakers in the box. All easy to do while the rooms are empty, a real pain when there not. Your energy is amazing. Great job.
I can't wait to see what is in the attic. Wonderful to see you kids cleaning this basement and sorting out yeas of collecting things that may come in handy later. When I saw the windows I thought a sunroom project on the patio deck would be awesome at this beautiful old house. I loved the comment on Bob Ross.. Love is in the air with you two and this cleaning, and sorting challenge..... Great job dude and dudette..
Quite an amazing old farmhouse in your family. You have so much space now with the hoard mostly gone. You can really see all the hard work it took.
Ahh to be young and full of energy
The wonderful age of youth! I had forgotten how much energy we have when we're young. One time up those stairs would have been enough for me!!
I think you owe Nave a night on the town, she' a trouper !and a keeper
