I should abandon my place for a few days and see if anyone does the dishes for me. 😆

Cleaning up the piano room in the Abandoned Hoarder House!
This is something I have wanted to do for many years but I had never found the right room to do it in – until now!
So, after I completed my explore, posted my video, my pics and my site gallery I waited a few days and went back to do the deed.
I figured it was probably going to take me 2 or 3 visits to do, I arrived with a bunch of garbage bags, rags, cleaner, a respirator and gloves and got right to work.
After about 4 hours of constant stuffing things in garbage bags and tossing everything into another room, I was pretty much done.
It kills me that I was not able to vacuum or clean the floor better and I really wanted to hang pictures back on the wall but there were no nails in the walls and I didn’t come equipped for that.
So, now we have an abandoned hoarder house, with every room packed with trash and one really nice-looking room!
I made a video of this whole process and I time-lapsed it, as well as posting several more photos, check that out here:

Why did you want to do this?

u/stevediperna 4d ago
yeah, this a very strange concept to me.

I do some strange things myself; there's always a thought process or reasoning behind it and I'm curious what that is here.

Hey OP, we're going to "abandon" our house for 5 days in May. You're welcome to come clean up all the shit my wife doesn't. Help yourself to the bar, garden, pantry, etc
Seriously, this is a weird pastime, but I respect you for it 👍🍻

You didn’t clean shit. You just piled up the trash in another room.

Pretty much what my kids do when they clean their rooms except it all gets pushed under the bed 😆

Love this.
Did the piano sound ok?

u/Biguitarnerd 4d ago
Probably way out of tune but that’s a Yamaha and unless my eyes are off it’s a grand piano (as opposed to a baby grand) if it could at all be salvaged it would be worth a lot of money. Yamaha isn’t top of the market but even a baby grand would be worth a lot, if functional.

I’ve seen so many pianos being given away free and many being discarded at the dump. It’s such quality wood and heavy metal parts. Makes me sad

Yeah usually not a grand though, stand ups from off brands get tossed or given away all the time but a Yamaha grand you don’t see that as often..,, although you also don’t see them in bad shape often. I think people making that kind of investment tend to take care of them better.

Used to clean dead people’s homes for a law firm. 15 dead cats on the floor stuck, poop from dead cats, unknown all sorts of stuff, and sex toys abounded. Bring yer cadaver cat scraper.

This is some serious dedication, but that curtain is vile. Still looks kinda shitty but definitely an improvement

Why did you even bother? It looks really good, but are you planning on moving in?

But why? Use that energy to make a difference in your community. One that actually improves the lives of people and or animals.

You’ve now changed the unique character of that room. 😮 Adapting it to your taste.

u/DearManager4257 4d ago
The unique character? You mean a dump. He’s pretty much put it together how it would of been without all that trash. Always a moaning Minnie in the room 😂

Find anything good ?
I had to clean out a rental house, renters had been gone 3 months. Lots of clothes to Goodwill, many still in store bags, trips to the dump.
Oh, and the kid’s room had a bunch of Snap-On tools they evidently got from dad’s tool box.
