<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 66936, member: 25&quot;]Some of you with long memories will remember that late last year I posted a bit about a house clearance I hoped to do,&nbsp; where an old recluse had died and left a houseful of total rubbish and a fair number of decent antiques. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]17321[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]17322[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]17323[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>After potting in a bid for the salable contents, I heard nothing for 9 months and more or less forgot about it. </p><p>A month ago I heard the surviving relative had no interest in the stuff, and I could have the deal if instead of just taking&nbsp; the salable stuff (and there will be some interesting bits to show off soon) I would&nbsp; undertake to clear out everything down to and including the carpets. Not something I have ever done before but nothing ventured, eh?</p><p><br /></p><p>I put in a new and notably lower bid based on the costs of getting rid of all the rubbish, and heard today that it had been given the OK by the solicitor dealing with the estate.&nbsp; The place is 2 hours drive from home, so it means the cat is off to the cat hotel again, and we are in a hotel near the clearance for a few days while I deal with the job. I am pretty sure there will be more good stuff hidden among the rubbish that I have not even seen yet, so it is quite exciting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any good finds I will post here, in about a week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
