Its a major case of being in the right place at the right time, probably for me and him. I'm not sure who's happier, me or his wife. She keeps telling me its the first time she's seen the basement walls and floor in 40 years. They had a guy there today putting in a chair lift on both stairs in the house, one to the basement, another to the second floor.
At last the basement had outside access and we didn't have to haul all that stuff through the house to remove it.

I must say, I hope I don't stumble on another mess like this too soon, this is starting to feel like work.
I now have my back porch packed with parts that have to be carried down to the basement and sorted, I didn't feel like making another trip out to my shop after loading the truck the last time today. Its piled on my porch till I make some room down in the basement for it all. There were a few boxes I didn't want buried so they came back in this load with me. The rest can stay in the trailers, I'll use a buddies dump trailer for the last load of bikes and my open trailer for the benches and shelves.
