This home reminds me of my Norwegian-American grandfather's home so much. When you opened that passport... He was born in 1927 and is still with us. He decided to leave the farm a few years back after Grandma passed, and watching you gents go thru this home takes me back to some really hard days cleaning out the farm for new owners. But we are blessed because we still have him. In fact... I better pause this now and call him.

At 7:30... Husqvarna, or Huskvarna as it started, has started round 1690 as a company in Sweden that made muskets. Later they produced cookovens, motorcycles, sawing machines and so on. They have become a world wide company.

The little bird box on table held toothpicks. You put toothpicks in the opening and push the little bird and it would pick one up in its mouth for you. Very nice video once again Lesley and Danny.

The "abandoned house" @ 25:00 is the house of the swedish painter Carl Larsson. It is at present day a museeum located in the region of Sundborn outside the town of Falun, where they make that red swedish paint you always talk about. The copper mine in Falun is a tourist attraction and both places are well worth a visit.

The strange thing is that the bag that is inside the cabinet is an XXL bag. A Norweigan store that didn't exist in Sweden until 2010. Either they left the house way later than we think or some other explorer has been there and put the bag inside.

many old houses had two living rooms that could be heated, but usually the one intended for winter use was smaller. in the larger living room which was also called the ballroom, family parties were held because it was often a bigger space, many people could fit there. Even in Finland, there were rooms in many farmhouses that were only used in the summer because they tried to avoid heating unnecessary spaces, usually the spaces where you stayed were heated, e.g. the kitchen and bedroom. because the kitchen was often also the living room, some large farmhouses had a living room so big that guests could also sleep there and easily organize a party for around 100 people.

❤ I loved this one!! The bird on the table was a cigarette dispenser. Very common in this era!😊

Regarding the red paint: It's made of iron ore from a mine in the town Falun. It's a very porous paint which alows the wood to breathe - which is very important. It's also a paint you can mix yourself, thus making it pretty cheap. You do have to repaint every few years, though. It's washing of when it rains. Huskvarna, as others have mentioned, is a Swedish company with a long history. It started in a town with the same name. The window lamps are not Jewish - Jewish candle holders have eight candles. The crosses in the psalm book should've made it clear to you that they weren't Jewish. No central heating. The fireplaces are individual. That's just a few of the things you got completely wrong.

I have found that a lot of European younger people do not have any idea about different religions and especially don't recognize the Bible and parts of one.

Also, there is a LIDL bag in that corner in the kitchen, lidl opened first 2003 in sweden, so someone musthave been there after the owners passing.

Can't wait to see this marvelous Sweden place. Beautiful wood houses. 🎉

The clock in the living room with the glass dome which was referred to as a Pendulum clock is really called in the USA as a Anniversary clock. I have 2 of them. You have to use a key to wind them to make them work. Love this old house.

Hi from Sweden! The Wood thing , that you thought that you put balls in 😂 It is to roll cigarettes :) It is very common for Swedish houses to have a fireplace in the middle so the heat from the fireplace to the chimney spreads in every room and every floor :) The red colour on many of our houses is called “faluröd”.

Can’t wait this, warm regards from land of Borneo🫶🏽

The thing with bird is for cigaretts, my grandpa had one also :)

This is such a lovely and beautiful home, seems quite large too.

The painting style, on the box from 1947, is called "kurbits-painting". That kind of painting, You also can see on the "dalahäst" (dalahorse).

First of all, thank you very much for the video. That color is pistachio green. It's a very heartwarming color🎉❤❤

My husband's family was from Sweden. We had one of those bird boxes. You would put cigarettes in the box and the bird would pick it up.

Leslie! The boxes with the little bird is a cigarette box. You put the cigarettes in the little bin. When you operate the box a little drawer opens with a cigarette. The bird bends down and picks up the cigarette.

The candles in the windows are a Scandinavian tradition, placed a month before Christmas and kept out during the darkest part of winter. I was told that they guide your family and friends home

Super video😊

Those candle holders are one of the most common Christmas ornaments in Sweden, seen in almost every window during the season. So even though it surely has ties to judaism, it does'nt mean anything religious at all to most people in Sweden. Also, in one of the cabinets was a plastic bag from the company XXL, which was founded in 2000. So unless someone has been there after the house got abondoned, and left that bag in the cabinet (which of course is a possibility), you're off with about a decade. Other than that, awesome video!

The Jewish menorah holds eight candles. The candle holders you see in Swedish homes hold 7 candles. The traditional use for Swedish candelabras is to mark Advent, which begins four Sundays before Christmas. Another name for these candelabras is Adventljusstake, meaning Advent candlestick. Many people use these candelabras for Christmas, or even as a nice decorative touch throughout the dark winter days.

Is that not a powder horn for carrying gunpowder for an old flintlock firearm? If it's that, there would have to be a way to stopper both ends. If it's for blowing, there would have to be a reed to make the sound. It doesn't matter but is neat to try and figure things out.

Nice video- half swede from USA- come on, guys- who does not know Husqvarna is from Sweden- such an iconic company, everyone here has Husqvarna chainsaws. Never saw “puke” that color- more like spring green, or celery green. Oh well, probably lost in translation- your english is very good. Best regards

The wooden bird on the table was a cigarette holder. You fill it, and the bird could pick it up one by one.

The wooden bird, is for cigarettes, the birds picks them up with beak. I see this before. 🐨💗

The additional building could have been a summer kitchen, to keep the heat out of the main house. It's interesting that they also have a camper.

The two boxes with the birds would pick up cigarettes that were placed in the box. Thank you for showing the odd home.

The reason for why red paint is so common on older houses: - The pigment in the color commonly used was a byproduct of mining copper, and therefore cheap to buy. - It contained some kind of poison, thus had a somewhat protecting effect on the wood. - The trend for the color being popular was due to rich/royalites using brick. People wanted their houses to look more exclusive/expensive than it actually was.

The duck decorative piece upstairs is similar in action to a cigarette holder/dispenser, where you would load the cigarettes into the bin part then one would roll into the little drawer, and when the duck came down, he would grab the cigarette with his beak, and bring it back up.

Thank you

Those are Swedish advent candles. To light for the days leading to Christmas.☺

Hi lesley & Danny please be careful guys of black mould it's sad that this home is abandoned your definitely right about the green coloured kitchen it's the same colour as Snot, I had a green kitchen at my old house such history in this home be careful on those narrow stairs both of you I'm just asking where are the bedrooms & where's the bathroom? It was nice to see you to Danny.

The house looks remarkably clean and unmoldy for a farm house that was submerged by water from the failed dam.

Every home needs a bathroom

I would love to remodle this fantastic house and clean up those grounds. That would be so much fun, I could bring this property back to life.

Hello from USA. Grew up on a farm thousands of miles away from this farm but so many things are the same.

The box with the bird was a cigarette box. My father had one similar.

Definitely not any Jewish candlesticks, these are very common in Sweden out of no religious purpose whatsoever, but we also have them during Christmas normally, and not a jewish book, the psalmbok is a book used in the churches for hymns. The red color is derived from a mine in the city of Falun called "Falu Gruva" which is then used to produce the popular color. Thank you for another beautiful video!
