    No, the tenterhooks job is on hold, the family are taking it a little slower as some of the furniture other members of the clan might want.
    They still have my number.
    This was a one day job in the next village.
    I have another tomorrow and then a break until Monday.:D

    Wow lucky you.

    What are the other lucky finds you get in these clearances.
    Any luck with old wines and whiskey?

    Usually cash.
    Whisky I drink, the wines are never fine wine and not drinkable as a rule.

    Same thing here!
    Never found a bottle of wine in a house clearing that tasted good!
    Selling them and buy beer for, is what I do.

    Online find. It was a bit pricey but I think I can make a good profit on it:

    I have a rolling ad in the local rag.

    Wanted : Coins, Banknotes, War Medals & related items.

    I get at least a couple of calls every week.
    Late this evening I was going home and got a call to see some coins and medals in a dodgy area..

    An area I used to work in many years ago.

    I bought these from a guy who had been left them by his deceased neighbour.

    Run of the mill WWII medals but with a silver Palestine medal with bars for Minesweeping, quite scarce.

    A silver Boatswain's whistle and chain and a silver general service medal.

    A few silver coins.

    I stayed chatting for an hour.

    20200826_001701.jpg

    When I left it was dark, I walked to my car and became aware of some local scum on bikes waiting to pounce.

    I said "Move away, Covid box"

    They moved like the wind, geeze if they had brains they would be dangerous :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    Just what is a Covid Box ?:D
