Barnfinds Portugal
http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm
You should be so lucky.A Montreal man retired, wanted to use his
retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home
and a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for
15 yrs.; the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs.
The house was sold to pay taxes.There had been several lookers, but
the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody
wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it
wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so, nobody made an
offer on the place. The Montreal guy bought it at just over half of
the property's worth, moved in, and set about to tear in to the
barn.......curiosity was killing him. So, he and his wife bought a
generator, and a couple of grinders.......and cut thru the welds.
What was in the barn...............? Go to; www.intuh.net/barnfinds/
