(3,766 posts)In the living room was a secret room. It was cleared out but can imagine what was in there. Because of his next find. The bathroom mirror was a two way mirror you could access from the closet in the bedroom.
Another had something in the backyard that was strange. Way back some people built concrete boats from a plan. There was one almost completed there. It just sat there until the house was sold and the boat was demolished in place. It was bigger than a large shrimp trawler.
Went to a mansion to work on the elevator. They had zebra skin rugs throughout the hallway to the dining room. There they had a massive antique crystal chandelier from a Tennessee ballroom. Kind of an odd combination. But in the master bedroom the wallpaper was giant metallic silver anacondas, a Chinese lacquered dresser, and an antique German fireplace. The master bath was what I would call rustic Scandinavian bath house with an antique leaded glass knight in armor window. About 6 by 8 foot. Seemed more like someone couldn’t control themselves at auctions.
