Message:: [QUOTE="afantiques, post: 71898, member: 25"]Just to round this off, here are a couple of pictures of the crew who did all the work. A rare appearance of myself disguised as a broken down old man in baggy trousers. [ATTACH=full]18634[/ATTACH] and my partner who showed great patience and fortitude beyond the call of duty, and wants to do it all again. [ATTACH=full]18636[/ATTACH] and our two young helpers. [ATTACH=full]18637[/ATTACH] and lastly the bulk removers and clearers, a fine gang of two pensioners and a younger chap. [ATTACH=full]18638[/ATTACH] I now remember that was the younger chap's afternoon off for his birthday, so the main clearer, far left had roped in an even older assistant. [ATTACH=full]18639[/ATTACH] Cupboard searching. [ATTACH=full]18643[/ATTACH] The end, empty rooms. [ATTACH=full]18640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18642[/ATTACH] I can only hope the place does not fall down before it is sold, that window lintel has already collapsed.[ATTACH=full]18644[/ATTACH] And so ends, for now the saga of the great Clearance. The next stage is selling all the stuff, some of which you have seen over the last few weeks, and that should be another adventure in itself. I hope this tale has been interesting and amusing and a reminder to all pickers that there are good hoards out there, the only problem is finding them, but everyone should have at least one in a lifetime, even if, like mine, it is just dumb luck.[/QUOTE]
