If he goes first I have no idea what to do. He buys antique tractors, farm impliments, and builds race cars. The are a million bolts, screws, nuts, and tools in his workshop and the outbuilding. Two tractor trailers and five cars and pick-ups. It will take years to sell off everything. Compared to him I have very little.
My sister has this problem. Her husband is about 20 years older than her and has THREE workshops in the barn, metal working, woodworking, and clock repair. Very reluctant to get rid of any tools at over 80 years old. She made me promise to come down and help her out should she need to dispose of it after he is gone.
