They probably couldn’t afford to keep the water on or there was a plumbing problem… just an intelligent guess. 🤔

The cosmo and the seventeen appear to be from 2011 or 2013.

Hidden behind the trees, we find this abandoned Victorian era farmhouse. Overgrown and boarded up on the ground floor, I was surprised to find out that this home has only been abandoned for about a 18 months. There is a grouping of chairs, tables and even an old weathered door sitting in front of the house, leftovers from a garage sale before moving day.

Inside, we find a beautiful stained wood staircase, hardwood floors and even the original trim work, everything you would expect to find inside a farmhouse of this age. There are also many personal belongings leftover, books and furniture from the 60s, more modern things, such as computers and a stereo. There were even a few scratching posts, as the last occupant was a self-professed "crazy cat lady".

But the strangest leftover of all, were the hundreds of large water jugs. Maybe the well water was bad or a squatter had taken up residence but the collection took up almost the entire dining room and was becoming a hoarding situation.

Saskatchewan? Where is this house? I am guessing the bottles maybe had to do with COVID, when people were stockpiling everything and anything. Or there were wildfires in the area. Or bad well water like you said. This house looks amazing and I’m ready to start reading all the magazines!
