Okay just as a pre-emptive warning/advanced notice.
My family will be clearing out my Great Aunt's house. They
(Uncle who died 3 years ago and Aunt)were both school
teachers and pack rats!!

The big things will need to be collected.

So they had a workshop on the top floor of the house and never
thrown anything out.

So we will be looking at selling some
tools(that the family doesn't claim)
Filing Cabinets (metal),
Musical instruments and I think there is a piano and an organ.
Glass wear (plates and antique bottles)
and a load of other stuff.

My Great Aunt isn't dead but as she is in hospital we are taking
this time to try and clear as much clutter as possible before she
either moves back in with a load of medical stuff or before she is
moved into a care home.

Not meaning to be one of the vultures but what kind of tools? I've got more than enough screw drivers and hammers but it depends on how exotic they went.

I hope your aunt gets better, any sign of improvement or is the family just looking at all the possible ways it could go?

Sorry to go off-topic, but I've looked at this thread who knows how many times, but it still come up as unread.

Apparently, I can't see hty984's posts.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
