My in-laws are asking about who wants what but until the end even so it will be a mess. My father-in-law is such a hoader of garbage stuff that no one wants. When I helped them move 10 years ago. I found an old empty fishing tackle box wrapped in 1971 newspaper shoved under a stair. He had no idea he had it but it got rewrapped in 2004 paper and boxed. He</p><p>used to save a plastic can that hams came in to water the dog when he went hunting, he has not had a dog or gone hunting in 15 years. I found a black plastic bag with 40 ham cans. They moved. I always tell my MIL that when he dies instead of cleaning out the basement of his stuff, just seal up the door with drywall and say there is NO basement. I wish the basement had great things to discover but I KNOW what is done there. The worst is dozens of cans of dried out house paint 30 years old and older.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
