The Barn in Portugal !!
A
recently retired New York man wanted to use his
retirement funds wisely, so he 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 estate was being sold to pay back taxes. There had
been
several lookers but the large barn had steel doors and
they had been welded
shut. No one wanted to go to the extra
expense to see what was in the barn
and it wasn't
complimentary to the property anyway... so, no one made an
offer on the place.
The New York gentleman bought it as is,
paying just over half
of the property's worth;
moved in and set about to access 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...?
The doors were welded shut, but a grinder
took care of that.
