Semi off topic . . .
This is semi off topic:
It's partly about the house. The folks left some things in the house and I thought I'd share my excitement
. Two late 1800's pedal organs that need restored, a wardrobe, dining room set, china closet, and some other odds and ends.
The one thing I'm really excited about is the Barber's chair
. It needs a head rest but I can build one. I have to redo the chrome, put some seals in the hydraulics and clean the vinyl But it's a really nice chair that appears to be from the 50's or 60's .
I'm going to do some research on the organs also to see if I can find how to restore them to optimal value. They play nicely, but need the baffles worked on and the strapping redone in some areas. I also need to find some celluloid to replace the missing tone labels.

WOW!!!! Nice spread! I love all the trees! Plenty of room for gardens (veggies and flowers) play area for the kids, lots of room to grow!
Just by these pics, this place seems worth all the headache!
You are truly blessed!
Congratulations!!!!

I guess in this instance the old saying that "Good things come to those who wait" has been well borne out. Congratulations, Glenn. I know it's been a hard time coming for you, but your efforts have clearly been successful for your family. Well done, sir.

10-21-2007, 01:08 AM #10 Barber's Chair Pics (and some of the house
Here's a few pics of the barber's chair and some more of the house. I haven't taken pictures of the organs yet. I'm waiting on everyone to quit piling magazines and excess items on them. I keep throwing the stuff away as a hint but they just say "who threw this away?" and retrieve it
There's a riding mower left here I'm going to try to get running. We'll see what happens.
anywho here's some more pics:
