    Look what I found!

    Our daughter and SIL recently purchased and remodeled a Cascina in Piemonte Italy, about 1:45 minutes south and west of Milan. The purchase price included most of the contents of the old place, which began life around 1900. Most of the good tools (welders, hand tools etc) were removed, but...
