[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 67871, member: 25"]I am off tomorrow to start the job, with a bit more searching and also packing safely of some stuff already identified, some of which I have shown earlier. Wednesday is the main moving day, with all the watches and clocks and I hope remaining antiques identified and packed. That day will include some rubbish sacking and removal just to make room to see what is underneath. I also hope to have time to take a proper look at the books and the prints which I have only glanced at so far. That day will see most of our packed boxes heading south with my colleague who is hiring a van. At the end of the day, a local antique dealer and house clearer will come to price up removing the rest that I do not want, the furniture and everything else. Thursday and Friday have been assigned for this to happen, I hope that at the end of the day I can hand the place over to the estate agents ready for viewing. We have booked a local hotel for our stay up North to avoid a 2 hour each way commute. I will take the laptop so I should be able to post some more pictures as I go along. I must confess to being childishly excited for a man of my age, as I feel that although we have found more than enough stuff to make this a lucrative operation, there is always the lure of possible further treasure to perk things up a bit. I know there are places I have not really looked at properly yet, the first look was like a gold strike where you just wander round picking up the visible nuggets, the rest will need some digging and panning.[/QUOTE]
