Random attic cleaning finds

[cderalow]

So was cleaning out the attic at my inlaws place this afternoon and found the following in their attic:

Craftsman Silent Yard Man push mower (circa 1960's I think, maybe older)

A classic side lift jack

An ancient singer sewing machine/table.

I'll have to get some pictures later..

damn near killed myself getting the mower out of the attic. Not sure who got it in there in the first place, but must have been a world's strongest man cause the thing has to weigh a ton.

You did better than me. Last time I went up in my parents attic I found the remains of my 10 year old brother that went missing 34 years ago.

Gort the last twin.

I just found bone fragments and some hair. Might be human, might be from the bats, I dunno.

I go up there all the time. That's where "they" talk to me...

Cleaning out 1918 built Rental I found a ton of stuff. Including a Mummified Squirrel. It was pretty cool until I left it outside for a night and it rained. It kind of re-animated. Worst smell ever.

While cleaning out my grandparents garage attic I found a bomb, well a bomb case. Just an empty metal casing, supposedly once was part of a lamp or sign at an O-club or such. It's now hanging in my garage, not buried in the attic.

I also found the little red wagon that my brother and I played with when we were kids. Has some surface rust, but is mostly intact.

When my grandparents moved in 1988 from their house they had built and lived in since the '30s, I had to check the attic area for "stuff" but didn't find anything except for a bunch of rags my grandfather stuffed around a leaky spot by the chimney.
