One mans' junk is another mans' treasure! It looks difficult to get to some things,though, to say the least. It would drive me crazy, not knowing what I could be missing, just behind, or under the outer edge of the piles...lol :))

One thing for sure-there's bound to be somthing there, for everyone/anyone that stops! hahahaha

My eyes cross just looking at this stuff, but my father loved to keep 'everything' that might one day (in the next century) be of use. He had two, two-story houses he used to store it all. When he died, my mother called a local antiques dealer and said, "Take it all and give me $5,000." I just hoped my father wasn't looking down at her that day.:)

Ann Weaver Hart Oct 16, 2008, 8:05pm EDT

Oh my god. What a mess. I couldn't spend time there. I saw a lot of cool stuff, but the amount of it is just overwhelming. It looks like the house of somebody I know. Aaaack. Yeah, I know cool stuff. Too much of it. Good pics, though.
