So one of the most common questions we get here at Catalina Rug is, how do I clean my rug without having to take it to professional rug cleaning? So in this video, what we're gonna do is we're gonna show you that process of how you can clean up your rug at home in a very lightweight fashion without the risk of damaging the rug. And it will be good enough to make your rug look cleaner and remove some of the dirt and it give you a little bit more time before you will have to take it for professional rug cleaning. So the way we're gonna do this video is first I'll show you what kind of equipment and materials you need is pretty basic stuff, and then I'll show you the process step by step. So stick around and all that is coming up now.
All right, so to get started, let's go over the materials you'll need to clean your rug at home. So you'll need a couple of cotton towels, like these ones, preferably white, and make sure that they're clean. And you'll need some sort of brush like this one here that is gonna help you brush the pile of the rug. And then you'll also need some sort of soap similar to this one that we're using here. This is a dishwashing foam.
And just make sure whatever product you're using doesn't have a bleach or anything that's gonna damage the rug. So here I just wanna show you a little bit of a closeup of each of these products. So basically this is the towel that we're using. Here's a closeup of the brush that we're using, and then also the dish washing foam that we're using to clean the rug. All right, so first, before we get started with actually cleaning the rug, we're gonna go ahead and give it a nice vacuum.
First, we're gonna start with the top of the rug and make sure that we are vacuuming side to side. And also make sure to avoid vacuuming the fringes of the rug because that could damage the rug over time. So once you're done with vacuuming the front, we're gonna go to the back. All right, so now that we've finished vacuuming the front of the rug, we're gonna flip the rug over and vacuum the back. This is optional, but it really does help to remove some of the dust and debris that have gone into the pile. And depending on the size of your rug, you could use this trick where we are flipping half of the rug over and vacuuming one half. And then once we're done vacuuming this half, we're gonna move on and vacuum the other half of the rug.
All right, so now that we're done vacuuming the rug, we're ready to start actually cleaning it. So we're gonna mix the soap with some water to dilute it so that way it's not too strong. And then just go ahead and take the towel and dip it into the mixture and start gently wiping the rug and try to go with the direction of the pile. You don't want to go too much against the pile because it's gonna get into the deeper parts of the pile and it's gonna get very wet. So you're just trying to focus on cleaning the surface of the rug. And for this reason, you're gently wiping on top of the rug and just going with the pile, as we're showing you here, and of course whenever you feel like the towel is drying up, you could dip it back into the mixture to soak it up more. And for this step, I recommend doing this in sections. So pick out one section of the rug and clean it first, and then move on to the other sections. And this really depends on the size of your rug, but for example, for this rug, we tried to clean it in four different sections and the size is around a four by six.
Now as you can see here, our towel is starting to get dirty from cleaning up just one part of the rug. And this rug is actually pretty clean to begin with, but you can definitely expect that as you start doing this, your towel is gonna get very dirty. So go ahead and switch to a clean towel whenever your towel gets too dirty cuz you don't want to be distributing that dirt around the cleaner parts of the rug. So as far as cleaning the pile of the rug, that's pretty much the step that you have to take. And you'll notice that the pile of the rug is gonna be dry within 30 minutes to an hour and we're really dampening the pile. We're not getting it soaking wet. So you should expect it to dry fairly quickly and you could feel the rug and just feel the pile of the rug to make sure that it's completely dry before you start walking over it and using the rug. Now for the next step, we're gonna show you how to clean the fringes of the rug.
And of course this process is optional, but if you find that the fringes are dirty, then you could use this process to clean them. All you need is a stick of wood or something that you could place underneath to place the fringes over. And you're gonna use the same soap and water mixture that you created along with the brush to clean the fringes. And we're gonna show you how to do that next. All right, now that we have the stick in place and the fringes placed over it, you just take the brush and dip it into the mixture that we have and then start soaking and brushing the fringes from the rug towards the end of the fringes. And just make sure that the mixture gets nice and soaking into the fringe so that way the fringes start to get soaking wet and you're gonna go from one end of the rug to the other. And then once you are complete with one side of the fringes, you're gonna switch to the other side.
But do leave the stick of wood in place because it allows the fringes to dry easier. So if you can use two sticks of wood for this process, that would be the best. Otherwise, we recommend you wait for one side to dry before you work on the other side and move the stick over to clean the other side of the rug. Alright, so that's how you can clean your hand-knotted rug at home and hopefully this will make your rug look cleaner and remove some of the dirt.
And this will allow you to wait a bit longer before you have to take it for professional rug cleaning. And just something to be cautious about is to double check the products that you're using and look at the labels to make sure it doesn't have any sort of bleach or anything that could damage the rug. Also, you can check with your local professional rug cleaners about the type of product you're using to make sure that it's not gonna hurt the rug.

[UPBEAT MUSIC] Your ProHeat 2X Lift-Off is
equipped with a spray function for deep cleaning. When the spray is
not working, there are a few solutions that will
help you get back on track. Check to see if your formula
and water tank may be empty. If so, all you have to
do is refill the tank. [CHEERFUL MUSIC] Another solution may be that
your portable spot cleaner is not attached properly. The pod should not
be slanted or ajar. Attach the spot cleaner
by pushing down firmly to check if it is
properly in place.
Your pump may have lost prime
while in portable spot cleaning mode. Hold the end to your hose below
the water level in your tank to prime. [CHEERFUL MUSIC] Now that these steps
have been taken, you will see that water
and formula are spraying from your ProHeat 2X Lift-Off. [CHEERFUL MUSIC].
Want to bring a touch of nature indoors? Creating this beautiful moss rug is simple in technique, but requires patience! We'll use basic techniques like latch hooking and crocheting to achieve the various moss-like textures. The best part of this project is working with soft, squishy yarn and the flexibility to start and stop at any point without counting stitches. If you ordered the XL moss rug, here’s what you should have received. The smaller rug kit includes a blank rug canvas, less yarn and colors, one latch hook, and non-slip backing. To latch hook with milk cotton yarn, start by cutting the yarn to length.
Cut a piece of cardboard to your desired yarn length and wrap the yarn around the cardboard. Wrap the yarn around the cardboard about 100 times. This will give you enough yarn to work with without being too thick to cut. Use sharp scissors to cut the yarn on both ends so you have strands of the desired length. If you have more than one latch hook, use the larger one for the milk cotton yarn. Latch hooks work like this: Push the hook into one grid and out the other side.
As the head is pushed out, the latch will catch on the mesh, revealing the hook. This is where we'll hook the yarn. The latch catches on the mesh on the way out, closing and allowing us to pull the yarn through. Let's see it in action. There are two ways to secure the yarn. This is method 1. Take 2 strands of milk cotton yarn and fold them in half to create a loop. Thread the latch hook through the loop and the mesh.
Wrap the yarn across the latch while it's open. As you pull the tool out, the latch closes around the yarn. Release the ends of the yarn once the latch is closed and pull the ends through to create a knot, securing the yarn to the mesh. Let's take a closer look. Method 2: Create a loop with the yarn, but this time, push the latch hook through the mesh first, then hook the yarn loop.
Pull the loop through to the other side while holding onto the ends. Push the latch through the yarn loop and wrap the yarn ends over the latch. Pull the tool back through the loop and release the ends to create a knot, securing the yarn to the mesh. Let's take a closer look. Experiment with both methods to find which one works best for you. You can do the outline first and then fill in the rest, or latch hook row by row. Choose whatever you prefer. Brush out the yarn with your comb to fluff it up and trim any strays as needed. Next, let’s learn how to create a gradient effect using mohair yarn. The process is very similar. Decide on the length of the yarn, wrap it around the card, and cut it to length.
This line is where the green yarn will start to transition to the off-white yarn. Because mohair yarn is so fine, use the smaller latch hook. Use 4 strands of mohair yarn for each grid. Let's do a small section as an example. We'll use all green yarn for the right-hand side. And all off-white yarn on the left-hand side. Based on the distance between the two colors, we're going to do 2 columns in all off-white. For the 3rd and 4th columns from the left, we'll mix 3 strands of off-white with 1 strand of green yarn. For the next two columns (5 & 6), mix 2 strands of off-white with 2 strands of green yarn. Mix 1 strand of off-white with 3 strands of green yarn for the next 2 columns. This gradual blending creates a beautiful gradient effect.
Complete the entire section and brush it out. If you want to mix milk cotton yarn with mohair yarn, use the ratio of 1 milk cotton thread to 2 mohair threads per grid. We'll crochet the faux fur yarn to create dense, fluffy sections for a different look and texture. Use the latch hook to thread the yarn between two grids. Secure with a knot and pull the tail to the back. Thread the latch hook 1-2 grids from the starting grid. Hook the yarn and pull it through. Unhook the loop you just created and thread the loop onto the shaft of the latch hook.
Adjust the tension so it's not too loose. Thread the latch hook 1-2 grids from the current grid. Hook the yarn and pull it through the mesh and loop. Unhook the loop, thread it onto the latch hook shaft, and adjust the tension of the yarn. Let's take a closer look. Thread the latch hook 1-2 grids from the current grid. Hook the yarn and pull it through the mesh and loop. Unhook the yarn and let it loop around the latch hook shaft. Adjust the tension to keep everything taut, but not too tight to avoid crinkling the canvas/mesh. Sometimes you might pick the wrong grid to stitch and the yarn doesn't cover the mesh. In this case, pull out a few stitches. Remove the latch hook and slowly pull the stitch out until you see the previous loop/stitch.
Thread the latch hook through that loop and start stitching again. When you're completing the last stitch for the section, thread the latch hook through the mesh as usual. Cut the yarn, leaving a 15 cm tail. Hook the tail and thread it through the mesh Pull the yarn tight to secure the knot. Push the latch hook through the mesh from the back, hook the yarn tail, and pull it through to hide it. When crocheting faux fur yarn, you can outline the section first and then fill it in row by row toward the center. Alternatively, you can crochet row by row to fill the section, which might create streaks resembling a lawn mower pattern. Choose the method you prefer and think looks best. To create moss-like lumps with pom pom yarn, cut the yarn into sections with a pom pom on each end. We'll attach the pom pom yarn to the canvas in groups of three. Thread the latch hook through the mesh and pull the first pom pom yarn section through. Unhook the pom pom yarn loop and thread it onto the latch hook shaft.
Find a grid 2-3 grids away from the first and thread the latch hook through. Hook the second pom pom yarn and pull it through the mesh and the loop of the previous pom pom yarn. Thread the latch hook into a grid 2-3 grids away from the first in the opposite direction of the second pom pom yarn. Hook the third pom pom yarn and thread it through the mesh and the loop of the second pom pom yarn. Grab the last loop and remove the latch hook. Wrap the loop around one of the pom poms of the same yarn section. This secures all the pom pom yarn in place for this group. Repeat the process in groups of three until you completely fill a section.
If your kit doesn't include a pom pom maker, skip ahead. If you have one, keep watching. This pom pom maker creates the densest and nicest pom poms, so definitely try it if you have it. Open the two donut halves and line them up. Start wrapping the yarn around them. Once you have densely wrapped around half of the donut, bring the yarn across and start wrapping around the other half. When you're finished wrapping, cut the yarn. Keep your finger on the tail and close the donut. Now cut the yarn all around the outer edge of the donut. Make sure to secure the center with your other hand.
Slide a long strand of yarn between the gap of the two donut halves. Tie a tight knot to secure everything in place, then tie another knot on the opposite side to make it extra secure. Remove the pom pom maker to reveal a nice, dense pom pom. Trim any stray strands for a neat finish. Thread the two long yarn tails through two adjacent grids. Tie a double knot at the back to secure it in place. (I'm not doing this now since I might want to move it later, but I will double knot before sewing on the anti-slip backing.) Brush out the pom pom to fluff it up even more and trim as needed.
You can make a pom pom with just your hands! Wrap the yarn around your hand or fingers if you want a smaller pom pom. Wrap the yarn around your hand at least 150 times for a full pom pom. For smaller sizes, you can wrap it fewer times. Once you're done wrapping, remove the yarn from your hand and tie a long strand of yarn around the center.
Double and triple knot it tightly to keep it secure. Cut the loops. Trim any stray strands. Thread the long yarn tails through adjacent grids and secure them with a double knot. Fluff the pom pom with a brush and trim any stray strands. These are all the skills you'll need to create a beautiful moss rug. Take your time and enjoy the process. Don't forget to glue or sew on the anti-slip mat when you're done. Happy crafting!.

Look! ChuChu, ChaCha, Chiku, and Chika are on their magical flying carpet. And they're off to the land of fairy tales. If you're ready for a fun ride say Chiiii… Choooo… Chaaaa… Chiiii… Choooo… Chaaaa… And today, the magical carpet has brought ChuChu, ChaCha, Chiku, and Chika to a grand palace, where there lived a beautiful young queen called Queen Catherine. Wow! What a grand palace! And that must be the queen! She has a baby in her arms! But she looks scared and worried. We should go find out if she and the baby are okay. Sorry, Your Majesty! We didn't mean to frighten you. I'm ChuChu, and these are my friends Chiku, Chika, and ChaCha. We noticed you were looking worried, so we were wondering if you're okay. Oh, thank you. I'm in a lot of trouble. The little man might take my baby away.
A little man's going to take your baby away? I'm afraid. I don't understand. Your Majesty. Let me tell you my story… from the very beginning. And so began the Queen's story. Queen Catherine was born the daughter of a poor miller. Her mother had died when she was a baby. Her father worked hard all day to give her a good life. He had big plans for her. That's enough, father. Please rest now. Why do you work so hard? To give you precious things like jewels and gowns. To see you live like a queen. But alas, all I seem to be able to give you is dry bread to eat and clothes as rough as sacks. Oh, father, I don't need precious things! I have Mother's necklace and her ring. And nothing can be more precious than these. But I will see you become a queen, no matter what I have to do for it! And that day, the miller decided that his daughter would marry the King. A few days later, the miller heard that the King would be riding down a street close to the mill.
He took Catherine by the hand and ran there. Good day, your Majesty. Why do you stop me like this, old man? To offer my daughter's hand in marriage to you, your Majesty. She's a wonderful girl with a golden heart. Old man, what will I do with a golden heart? I like gold. Can she give me gold? See… gold… like this… As I was saying, can she give me gold? Now, the miller realized that the King was crazy about gold. And because he was desperate to see his daughter as a queen, he did something strange. He told a lie! Yes. Your Majesty… my daughter can give you gold. In fact, she can make gold. And out of what does she make gold? Out of straw, your Majesty. She can spin straw into gold. Straw into gold? Real Gold? So, as you were saying, she can turn straw into gold? Yes, Your Majesty. Will you marry her? Not so fast! I want to be sure that she can actually do that.
Bring her to the palace tonight and let me put her to the test! And with that, the King rode off. Oh, father, what have you done? Have faith, daughter. I'm sure something will work out. That night, when Catherine and her father arrived at the palace, the King led them to a small room full of straw. Catherine tried to tell the King the truth. Your Majesty, I need to say something. No need to say anything! Just show me the gold. Gold! Gold! Don't just stand there! Get to work and if by dawn the straw hasn't turned into gold, you and your father will be thrown in prison! Having said that, the King locked Catherine in the room. She sat on the heap of straw and started crying.
What will I do now? There's no one in the world who can turn straw to gold. But just then, something surprising happened. Wrong! I can! Who are you? What's your name? That's a secret I'll never tell. But if you give me your necklace, I'll spin this straw into gold. Yes, yes! You can have my necklace! The little man started spinning, and lo and behold! By dawn, he had turned all the straw into shimmering gold. This is unbelievable! I'm so grateful to you. Please take this necklace Mr won't you tell me your name? I told you, that's a secret.
Then, the little man left the way he had entered. Later, when the King came, he couldn't believe his eyes. Gold!!! Gold!!! Gold!!! This is good, but can you do it again? The King was suspicious that this might be a trick, and so, he decided to test Catherine again. This time, he took her to an even bigger room, with even more straw! And when he left, once again, the little man showed up. If you give me your ring, I'll help you. And Catherine readily agreed. Again, the little man turned all the straw into gold and left. The King was overjoyed! But he decided to test Catherine one last time, so he took her to an even bigger room, with even more straw. This is your final test. If you turn straw into gold again, I'll make you my queen. If you don't, you and your father will be thrown in prison.
As soon as the king left, Catherine began to weep bitterly. My necklace and my ring are gone and now I don't have anything to give to the little man. He won't help me. But Catherine was in for a surprise. There is something you can give me. Tell me what it is, please. You must promise me that you'll give your first child to me. Catherine was so scared, that she immediately agreed to the little man's deal. Okay, I promise to give you my first child. And so, the little man turned all the straw into shimmering gold, yet again. Thank you, Mister! And goodbye. I'll see you soon… when your baby's born! When the King came into the room that morning, he was convinced that Catherine had the power to turn straw into gold and the very same day, he married her in a grand ceremony.
A year passed, and the Queen was blessed with a beautiful baby boy. She loved her child dearly. And she had completely forgotten about the promise she'd made to the little man. But the little man hadn't forgotten. Hello, Queen. I've come to take the baby. No, no, please. I can't live without my child. You can have all my gold and jewels but please, I beg you, don't take my baby. A deal's a deal! Now, give me the baby. Is there anything else I can do instead, please? Alright! Guess my name and you may keep your baby. I'll visit you three nights in a row, and if by the third night, you can't guess my name, the baby's mine. Do you agree? Yes, yes, I agree. For the next two days, the Queen went around her kingdom trying to learn as many names as she could but that didn't help at all.
Is your name Hans? Charles? Timothy? Edward? Oliver? You've failed two times! Remember, tomorrow night is your last chance! Oh, Your Majesty, that's why you're worried! Tonight's the last night! We must think of something. We can't let the little man take the baby away! Those tiny footprints! Your Majesty, is that the window that the little man climbs in and out of? That's right. That means those footprints are the little man's! Which means. We follow them! Yes, they might lead us to his house, and maybe we'll find some clues there! Let's go! We've found where he lives, but how do we find out his name? Maybe he's written his name somewhere. Think where do people usually write their names? I always write my name in my books. And I always write my name on my paintings. Brilliant! You see those books and paintings there? Let's go check them. Rumpelstiltskin! That's his name! Rumpelstiltskin! ChuChu and her friends rushed to the palace and told the Queen the little man's name just in the nick of time.
Hello, Rumpelstiltskin! No one knows my name! How did you find out? You will never know. That's my secret! Rumpelstiltskin left the palace and was never seen again. Thank you, ChuChu, ChaCha, Chiku and Chika. You helped save my baby! I don't know what I'd have done without you. We'd better be going now. But please, visit me again. We surely will! That was fun! Now, to our next adventure in Fairytale Land! If you want to go on another magical ride with ChuChu and friends, say Chiiii… Choooo… Chaaaa… Chiiii… Choooo… Chaaaa… And today, the magical carpet has brought ChuChu, ChaCha, Chiku and Chika to the grounds of a beautiful palace where many things were made of pure gold! Wow! What an amazing palace! A fountain made of gold?! I can hardly believe my eyes! And look here! A tree made of gold! With golden apples, too! Look there…
Even that park bench is made out of gold! Unbelievable! I'm sure whoever lives here is super-rich and super-happy! I'm surely the most miserable person in the world That doesn't sound like a happy person. I wonder why he's sad? The crying's coming from there. Let's go see if we can help this person. Let's go! Forgive me, my dear… forgive me. He looks like the King of this palace. But why is he begging forgiveness of a golden statue? Let's ask him what the problem is. Hello, King. I'm ChuChu. And these are ChaCha, Chiku and Chika. We noticed you crying in front of this golden statue and we were wondering if there's something we can do to make you feel better? Hello, ChuChu, ChaCha, Chiku and Chika. Thank you for your concern. You seem like such kind children. I'm King Midas. And… and… this is not a golden statue… it's my daughter, Madeleine. It's because of my folly and greed that she's turned to gold.
But… but how did that happen, King? It's a long story. Let me tell you my story right from the beginning. And so began the story of King Midas and the Golden Touch. King Midas was a good king. All his people loved him. King Midas had everything a person could desire a beautiful palace to live in, a great amount of wealth and more precious than all these things, he had the love of his daughter, Madeleine. King Midas loved his daughter with all his heart.
And Madeleine too, adored her father. But the one thing King Midas didn't have was contentment. Even with so many riches, he still wished for more. What's wrong, father? Why do you look so worried? I wish we had more gold, dear. But don't you think we already have quite enough, father? No, my dear. There's no such thing as enough gold. I want more gold much, much more. So great was King Midas' greed for gold that he was prepared to do anything to get more. One day, King Midas heard of a powerful wizard. It was said that the wizard had the power to grant wishes. And so, King Midas decided to pay the wizard a visit. What brings you here, King Midas? Wizard, I want you to grant me a wish. My wish is that everything I touch should turn into gold! Can you make this wish come true, please? Why do you want more gold, King? Are you not content with what you already have? No, I want more. I want to surround myself with gold! I want to sit on gold, walk on gold, lie on gold have gold, gold, gold all around me! And you think gold can bring you more happiness and love than you already have in your life? Oh, yes! It definitely can.
I could very easily grant your wish, dear King but I must warn you of some things. I think your wish comes from greed. I must warn you that a greedy wish can have serious consequences. There can be no bad consequences of having more gold! And I must also warn you, that once granted, it is very difficult for me to reverse a wish. I hope you understand that. I do! And why would I want to reverse a wish like that anyway?! The wizard kept trying to warn King Midas. Think again, King. Be careful what you wish for. And King Midas kept ignoring the warnings. Oh, I'm very sure about this wish. Everything I touch should turn to gold! Very well, then. Tomorrow morning, when you wake up, you will have the power to turn anything you touch into gold! Thank you very much, dear wizard! The next morning the King woke up excited.
He was eager to test if his wish had indeed come true. It works! It sure works! I have the power to turn everything I touch into gold! Oh! I'm going to be the happiest person in the world. But the King was soon to realize how wrong he was. Bring me my breakfast! My food is turning to gold the moment it touches my lips! Oh, never mind, maybe I'll go out in the royal garden and pluck fruits to eat. Very soon, King Midas realized that he would not be able to eat or drink anything. And he began to realize some important things. I thought gold is the most valuable thing in the world. But, now I understand that simple things like food and water are more valuable than gold. Hungry and worried, King Midas wandered around the palace grounds, wondering what to do. And suddenly, Madeleine came running up to her father. Good morning, father! How are you this morning? And as always, the King was overjoyed to see his precious daughter! Madeleine, my darling.
I don't feel so great. Come here my dear and give me a hug. Madeleine rushed to embrace her father but the minute his hands touched her little shoulders… she was turned to gold! We understand now why you're so sad. It's terrible what you're going through. We feel your pain. We want to help you get Madeleine back to normal. Too late for that now.
The wizard had warned me that it would be very difficult to reverse the wish. Difficult but not impossible! Say that tears that come from a genuinely sorry heart have the power to melt even something as hard as stone. See for yourself. I get it. I get what Chiku is trying to say. You need to go back to the wizard, King Midas.
And show him how genuinely sorry you are. And his heart will surely melt and he'll reverse the wish. You think so? Yes, we do! Let's go! And so, King Midas stood before the wizard and told him how sorry he was for being greedy. And sure enough, the wizard's heart melted. I can see that you have realized your mistake and that you're deeply sorry. I will reverse the wish, and everything at your palace will return to normal. And with a powerful flash of magic, the wizard reversed the wish. Thank you, wizard. I promise you I will never be greedy again. And so, everything returned to normal at King Midas' palace. And the King made a decision, that from now on he would use his gold for the good of others. King Midas, Madeleine, I think we've got to get going now. ChuChu, ChaCha, Chiku and Chika, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for my father and me. I'm very grateful for your help, dear children.
Do come back again to visit us. We surely will! Goodbye! And this is how, King Midas' story had a happy ending. That was fun! Now to our next adventure in Fairytale Land! If you want to go on another magical ride with ChuChu and friends, say Chiiii… Choooo… Chaaaa… Chiiii… Choooo… Chaaaa….

here it's a sample store and then they've got their little Factory to the side what's going on over here somebody found their
way in through the wall there's the front of the store everything's
ice so I'm walking a little slow tons of stuff the ceilings all coming down
in areas do this so we can see over I'm gonna try to
not walk right up beside the windows if that's okay got over 1 000 locations but this is now a
dead location I wonder how many dead locations they have I'll have to check to see if this
company is out of business it's not going to be too hard to hide so pretty sure you've
seen it already I might even put it as part of the the title but it's a Carpet One oh
here we go the basement so we can check that out after we'll go in the order we normally
do except we can't go upstairs in here the upstairs is completely gone I might go back
up the stairs again from the outside just to show you but it's pretty it's pretty sketchy
as you can imagine it just looks like a burnt building now that I know there's a basement I'm even
more worried about being up here oh more samples one over here we got a desk again 2012.
Oh what does that calendar say 2020. so I guess they had it going again with the
roof I never ever came in here I never needed carpet so I'm guessing maybe they had this
place open even with the roof burnt the upstairs because the upstairs the ceiling the roof
it's been burnt and gone for a long time I drive past it all the time but how does why I guess I guess you could be working working
down here just avoid the upstairs saves money [Music] a little desk areas see what does
this one say that's 2020 as well random stuff even little samples this is cool they even got into hardwood I
didn't know that all different kinds of hardwood that's cool
that I did not know I just learned something new a whole bunch more I don't think it was all supposed to be round
like this that could just be from all the water now possibly tape measure on the ground you know it looks
a little more concrete over here not as as worried about walking a bit of the warehouse some more stairs to
go down it's pretty cool there's even some stairs to go up to something
we'll see what happens I've never been in here not even when it was open but it looks like there's stairs here too
so you come inside and you could go right upstairs or come into here and we got some vinyl tile down here oh oh sorry I'm busy looking at the floor

things oh is that blood looks like somebody hurt themselves
in here yeah looking it's trailing all across the
floor there oh so they cut themselves over here somewhere
and then they walked fix their hand up here I guess whoever came in that window first I took my time and cleared a bunch of the
glass that was broken out of the way made it so that I wasn't gonna cut myself maybe

so that's okay I'm not worried about that floor those are some big carpets though a big old ladder desk with a bunch of papers [Applause] turn the light up a bit since we're back here and all this stuff it's going to be left because

been crapping on it thought it was a forklift I guess you could
put a forklift on there right yeah that's just they've got a different attachment for
a pole so that they could pick up their carpets nice and easy almost looks like it could have been the boss

up it's a lot of batteries I wonder I guess somebody who's trying to
fix it up maybe see if they'd be able to take it big old Warehouse I almost thought the lights were on upstairs
