Gifts from a client

By
Home Inspector

    I did an inspection a while back where I saw a stew kettle in the backyard just rusting away. I asked the home owner if I could buy it it and he had agreed. That was until I found problems in the house and he got all huffy as the deal fell through (because his house was falling through, he built a second story on top of a 1932 bungalow but failed to add any extra support so it was falling in on itself).  Anyways, I was annoyed for a bit but let it go.

    Well last week I get from the lady for whom I was performing the inspection. It seems she not only overheard me talking about how much my wife loves this stuff, but I guess she kind of liked me too. Anyways, she calls and asks if I can come over because she has something for me. I head on over not sure what to think and low and behold, she has a trunk full of stuff like this. She said it's just been sitting in her garage for years and since my wife enjoys the stuff, it would be better if she had it. BTW she said, this is just the first of three car loads. I knew I couldn't afford it all until she yelled at me "no payments, this is a gift because you helped us out so much."

    So now, my wife is in love with me again, at least for this week. But now she has tasked me with finding out how to restore these pieces. Does anyone have a clue or have a good website to throw at me that would help? Thanks!

These are just a few of the items.
