<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 66978, member: 27"]I once managed an old hotel that was turned into low income housing,and several times I had to clean out long term residents that had passed away or moved on. It astonished me how much crap they had in those rooms,but until these pics I thought they were the worst Id seen ! Id love to dig in a place like that,but Id be terrified of vermin ! I was cleaning out a poor old lady's room at the hotel once, she had lived there since the early 70s and the debris was literally waist deep. Albeit fairly organized. I picked up a box,and mice flew out ! I totally freaked out,as a few had jumped on my head ! She had a few nice things,but the nicest was a cedar trunk loaded with gorgeous 50s-60s cocktail dresses in perfect condition.I sold them to a vintage clothing store for a nice little sum,but I felt kinda bad about it,like I was robbing her corpse,LOL ! It was very sad really as she had no family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
