And when he'd get the building too full to move around in, he'd build another building!! Four buildings full of stuff like this. AUGH!!! So save a few, but get rid of the rest. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!
Your Dad and my FIL must have been brothers ... we have been doing the same thing at his house, only it wasn't just containers - bags, tools, dishes, scrap metal and wood, the list goes on. It made me go home and throw some my 'savings' away.
