We had an intriguing opportunity to go pick a hoarder house today. We've been to a few, but never anything quite like this. 4 levels, garage, and detached 2 car garage. Full. Floor to ceiling. Some rooms were so packed you couldn't get in. And it was gross. Mouse infested. Layers of droppings, rooms of food from the 80s onward.. drawers filled with sand. The works. It was overwhelming. And stinky. And hot.
We managed to snap a few blurry pictures but they hardly grasp what it was like.
Though we did manage to find some treasures!
A router bit display, a handful of good lamps, interesting giant printing block (need to clean it to figure out what the exact content is, but looks like a woman...?), a couple owl figurines and lamps, cans (notably a lead top 1930s Texaco household lubricant), two copco mid century spice racks, a weird quack massager from the 1950s, and an amazing photo album from 1914 through 1922. The photo album is one of the cleanest and most complete we've ever found from this era. Content includes railroad, military, theme park, cross dressing, and beach stuff. Very cool!
It was definitely an experience.
