Sometimes you get lucky eh??
A freind sent me this story yesterday: quite impressive!
Always Check The Barn!
A New York man retired. He 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 years; the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs.
The house was being 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 New York guy bought it at just over half of the property's actual 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.......andcut
through the welds.
So what was in the barn...............??????????????
