Hoarders: Before & After: U.S. Army Cleans Up MONSTER 5-Acre Hoard (S11) | A&E

[Music] i'm dale a retired general contractor on the outside of my property i've got numerous cars some of them i bought at auctions i drove most of them until they quit transmission went out or was slipping or something like that back it in the hole over there maybe i'll get a chance to fix it i'm darren i'm dale's youngest son if you've never been to my dad's property all you have to do is ask anybody where the house is that the guy's a hoarder and they can point you right to it and you'll know immediately when you get there just by driving up to it everything's overgrown trash vehicles everything's just packed i've got buses two of them one of them i used in construction and the other one is a air force bus that used to transport people i've been using them for storage now i've got a big forklift back up there that i bought to to use around the property i've got several boats one of them it's upside down to keep it from rotting and it's rotten the semi i bought that's been uh in excess of probably 15 years ago i can't remember you'll see there are a lot of piles of timbers that's all of the decking that came off of the yukon river bridge i think there was seven trailer truck loads of it it's back here right here [Applause] the inside is packed wall-to-wall just a goat trail that you could walk through my dad's not living in his house he moved out into a trailer because he's just packed it too much there's no living space there's no living room there's no electricity there's no water no septic not something that you trade it's just [Music] terrible this is a monster board we have 3 500 square feet of packed house we have five acres that is full of everything from cars boats trailers army vehicles construction projects drums of who knows what gasoline there's so many moving parts and components to this horde my mind's gonna explode and i don't know how we're gonna deal with it the really cool thing about this horde is that we have the local army base fort wainwright where dale used to be stationed is sending over a group of soldiers to help us this is gonna be amazing help that we need to get this stuff removed good morning everyone we have incredible resources here today we've never seen anything like this we've never seen a horde like this but we have this help that's available for you dale thank you thank you outstanding thank you i'm impressed for sure really amazing thank you all for your service and thank you for being here because as you can see we would not be able to do this with just a handful of people so the first thing we're going to do is start right out here and work our way to the front door sound good yep all right you guys ready yes sir all right let's do this good we like to tell our soldiers that if you're a soldier or soldier for life we think that it's very important to give back to the community to take care of not only soldiers that are within your unit but past soldiers present soldiers i need a few cans holy crap we can make quick work of this if you'll let them but we need some rules tools survival stuff tools the jacks of course those are tools right can they start going to work and leaving all your tools and generators set aside and then we can reload okay we're about 90 of the way through the garage and all of a sudden a beam breaks with only a couple days left here that doesn't give us enough time to brace everything fix everything and then clean the house it's just not going to happen so we kind of have to regroup and see where our time is going to be best spent for the next couple days it gives us a lot of time on the outside but we still need to address where dale's going to live [Music] when we found out that the house was dangerous me and maggie and aunt doris we all got together as a family and decided that the house on the hill is the best option to put money into will you let us fix this house for you over the next couple days do as much as we can to get you a safe functional space to live in at least for the winter so we know that we're leaving you in better condition than we found you [Music] yeah perfect the good news is these soldiers they have not only like cleared a path to your house they've ripped out trees whole they don't even need cutters they ripped them out by the roots but they just cleaned out that whole house about a half an hour amazing physical strength that they brought amazing decisions that you made very quickly i think we're absolutely able to make you a home now [Music] [Music] oh boy look at that looks kind of like uh somebody's house [Music] gee this is cool [Music] amazing just amazing i couldn't be happier i'm glad he's got a place to live now that's out of that trailer and and just to have it as his old house [Music] oh oh my gosh i remember this place wow yep oh there's picture joyce how cool when was the last time you slept in a queen-size bed i don't remember look look at your bed well i think we're ready to move on to the last room okay holy cow look at who's here [Applause] this is awesome you guys you guys have about 40 people in this room you've never met from all over the country 30 of them right here from the local army base that are family to you in a in a completely different way okay they love you i know they do or they wouldn't be here all week busting their ass like they have been and i know sergeant lee has something else that he would like to present to you dale it's important that you understand that no matter it doesn't matter how long ago you were a soldier and that you served in the military uh we're still your family you're a soldier for life so the soldiers that have been here this week the young men and women helping you out haven't just responded to assisting the community it goes a lot deeper than that you are a brother a brother in arms you're a family the soldiers at fort wayne wright are your family and we're always going to be here for you we were going through the horde this week we came across your asu jacket your your army uniform and wanted to put a little something together for you [Music] wow look at that dad these are the awards that were on your your records saying that you were awarded so we were able to get a hold of those as well as you were an expert uh marksman with your rifle and a marksman with a pistol so we just wanted to include everything that you were able to achieve during your time of service i'm just feeling kind of in awe i kind of want to hide my face because uh it got me yeah those yeah guys got me uh they could have shot me and i wouldn't have cried but they hit me in the heart and uh back up dale what are you thinking about just appreciating these guys and y'all [Music] making it all possible i you know i just expect to get my yard cleaned up [Laughter] [Music] i love you guys thank you for coming well after everybody leaves i've already rolled up my sleeping bag i got my breakfast makings in a
