<p>[QUOTE="Cyndiver1, post: 327648, member: 6696"]I'm not sure yet. The old house has been falling apart for years but it is getting really dangerous to go inside anymore. I ventured in a few weeks ago- very carefully. There's not alot left inside anymore except paper debris and old clothes and other fabrics rotting away and housing mice. There is some beautiful authentic breadboard and rough hewn lumber I plan to try and rescue as well. Going in to the old kitchen/dining rooms, there was the table. Although I vaguely remember my grandmother making biscuits standing at that table, something pulled at me and told me not to leave it there anymore. After a lot of lifting, dragging, pulling, and other obstacles, I got it out to the road and loaded in the back of the truck( it is deceivingly heavy and measures 6' x 3'). With eight children by my grandparents, my family is quite large and very spread out across the southeast. I have no children of my own and want to restore this family heirloom and preserve it for our next generations. I don't think I could sell it for any amount of money, you know?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
