Old House
 

I like to rummage and sometimes pick old houses and I found one rather amazing. Built 1827, a few decades ago the last sister loved out. Even when she lived there in had no running water. It's been locked up since and walking into was like walking into some errie museum. The beds were still nicely made. Sadly, a lot is ruined, but lots of good stuff remains...amazing stuff. Been in their family since built and on the ladies property I know. I took her to visit a home she grew up in that her father last lived in about 10 years ago to get some stuff and she told me about this one. Is about impossible to get to now that the road has grown over, but she said take it all if I wanted. See if this pic attach feature works

That is pretty cool. It does look like someone rummaged through it already.

haha, yea me, ..but the back part, or kitchen caught fire, the one pic with the hutch and all the dishes so that was trashed. They closed off the main house from that and that no one has been in it for about 2 decades. The one sister that lived there until then, no running water, toilet, just use to living that way I guess. She moved out after the back kitchen was lost, just really didn't take anything and no one ever went back.

Yea, it sort of feels like that, so weird vines growing through some walls right on the furniture with pics and stuff still in perfect place. Most of the antique furniture is still OK, but too far for this boy to carry through a basic swamp now to get to a tractor road. The sort of main road or drive has grown over. Also got a nice arrowhead collection, about 2000 of them her father mostly picked up after plowing fields for decades. It will take weeks to go through, but finding some stuff from the 1800's. Did find an album of tin type pics, some with confederate soldiers, so that made me happy. She said there's a Japanese sword and hat in a room I haven't gotten into yet that her uncle took off one he killed. Got a cellar in it, but ..getting cold, I saw tons of snake skins looking down, but I'll wait.

Pretty cool. That reminded me of some of the places and stories you told about them during our Ubisoft forum days.

:Kaleun_Cheers:

get a foto of the katana ASAP...genuine work of art or 'WWII gunto'?

:yeah:

Having spent much of the past year clearing out my parent's and my mother in law's homes, I find those photos somewhat depressing. Still, I love old stuff.

Love the picture of "The Good Shepherd" over the fireplace. :yep:

Take it!! :up:

An image of Billy the Kid would be nice. :D

I read somewhere one of the vets organizations was collecting up war souvenirs like that to return to the families in Japan as some sort of bury the hatchet program.

I'd have found it a little eerie searching through everything.
