Note: This is satire, based on how YouTube explorers tend to use celebrity names in an attempt to gain clicks by fabricating ownership of Ontario houses belonging to a famous person.

This house was not owned by a celebrity :)

This was the home of Helmuth Hans P. Helmuth was born in 1923. He married and had two children, Michael and Ingrid. Helmuth worked in metals and alloys, and I believe he owned his own business.

There is no information available on the mother, I know that she passed away in 2017.

The parents separated sometime around 1973. A handwritten note from the son, dated 1973, indicated that he had moved away and was living with his mother. Helmuth remarried a woman named Edwina. Based on the 35 mm slides, I believe Edwina is the woman of colour in the photos.

The son, Michael, attended Bible College in the early 1980s and was married in 1984. As for his sister, Ingrid, there is no information to be found, and she’s not listed as a friend on her brother’s social media page.

Helmuth passed away in 1980 at the age of 57. This explained why I encountered such great difficulty trying to find information about him on the internet.

The house was built in 1956, and ownership was transferred to Helmuth in 1979 for $1. This is likely an indicator of a transfer within the family. Some of the photos showing the house are dated pre-1979. Helmuth passed away in 1980, but it’s likely the family had already been living in the home for some time.

The house was eventually connected to the garage.

Considering this house has likely not been lived in since 1980, it’s impressive to see clothes and jackets hanging in the closet and the kitchen cupboards filled with items. This is far from a time capsule house, but you can certainly envision the memories of an earlier era in this house.

This vacant house is located in Toronto, Ontario. It was built in 1981 and first owned by a man named Joseph Clements. Joe worked in construction. The house was sold in 1996 and saw three different families move in over the years.

Recently sold in 2022 for $2.3 million, I estimate its current market value closer to $2.5 million. Sadly, the future for this property seems destined for demolition, paving the way for an opulent new residence.

In this video, I've experimented with a new approach: post-recorded audio commentary layered with background music. While some audio segments may be a overblown in volume, my intention is not to captivate with my narration but to enrich your viewing experience.

Correction: The last family didn't stay in the house until 2016, they moved in in 2016 until the house was sold in 2022.

Exploring two vacant houses that will be demolished to make room for a new EV battery plant in Ontario.

Not much has changed at the first house, except someone broke in via a window. The second house has been secured by the developer.

In this explore, I tour a property that's been vacant for approximately two years now. The property is overgrown, contains several outbuildings and consists of 44 acres.

The occupants were a religious family who made their own home remedies and apparently sold cheese from their home.

The end of the video features a bird rescue attempt where a bird seemed unable to exit a window well. It was calling out for help. I put on an oven mit and was going to take it to the animal hospital, but it had other plans.

This video was taken with an Android phone.

This elegant looking house was a bit of a disappointment. Initially I was only able to see through the windows of the secured house, but I knew if I kept trying that it would one day be open. Such was the case on my last road trip when I stopped in and tried the garage door. One of the signs that there might be a way inside this time, was seeing through the windows that much of the baseboard trim had been removed and stacked, and the kitchen island was gone.

As I explored the interior, I was impressed to see that only the salvageable items had been taken and no signs of scrapping. While the house will be demolished in time, this developer is attempting to reuse as much of the old house as possible for future projects. The trim has been taken off of the windows, suggesting that they'll be taken out for reuse. Down in the recroom the carpet is soaked with water and emanating a pungent odor.

This house is now vacant and will be demolished to make room for a new development. It was lived in by a retired professional woman. I found hundreds of photographs in a box that will likely be thrown out and lost forever.

I promised you more explores from earlier this year, and here you are. This is a former public school that's been closed for almost two years now. There's working power, all of the classroom materials have been removed.

All the doors and windows are locked and the building is alarmed.

Plans for this school remain unclear.
