This guy, (Bless him,) was a total pack rat the past 70 years and bought everything, but would never sell anything!!
Shop FULL, (only narrow path to walk through, House FULL, two outside sheds FULL, two old pickup trucks FULL, lot of the stuff is incomplete, damaged or been out in the elements.
Also he had dismatled a lot of tools and machinery, and the wereabouts of the parts is a real HUNT!!
Much of it has been sold off, quite a treasure trail of all guys stuff, other that the antiques he had in the house , much of which belonged to his wife who passed away a few years ago.
I didn't really do any thing today with my toys, but this post that I quoted reminded me of a article that I read some time ago about a guy and his wife that used to collect things
here's a link to the article of the Miller's and the auction after they passed away.
