I don't know but I'll not be watching when he doeshow long before Cole gets his foot in that door..
Quite common...they're hard to buy because if the original purchaser is the seller they're often selling the boat they bought 35 years ago ...not the pile of wood that remains now!one has a classic 65ft wooden motor yacht sitting at a Marina up at Walton on the naze, he bought her in superb condition, that was 35 years ago. Today she is a write off still
Fortunately my family does have an interest & will know where to shift my stuff when im gone. But when i see yards like that i do wonder, most blokes will simply have messed about & never finished anything. I know two blokes who collect boats & boat gear. Both are up to 20 each at least, one has a classic 65ft wooden motor yacht sitting at a Marina up at Walton on the naze, he bought her in superb condition, that was 35 years ago. Today she is a write off still standing there, he has never been near it & yet has spent over 60k on storage. His house & land covers 4 acres, at least a third is sheds stuffed full so you cant even get in them any more. What is the point?
The video is a prime example, few clicks for you-tube revenue, but trying to find someone to sort through it, and more importantly a buyer, will be a full time job. Most of it will be recycled or burned !
There a TV show called Rust Valley Restorers where a Canadian guy does up classic cars. He had 400 on his land, built up over 30 years. The last series ended with him selling most of them off cheap. Shame he let them sit there rusting away for decades rather than let someone else restore them. Hoarding mentality.But when i see yards like that i do wonder, most blokes will simply have messed about & never finished anything. I know two blokes who collect boats & boat gear.

any of my kids say my stuff is going in a skip apart from rubishI find it fascinating and sad at the same time. Im at the stage where im now turning down new treasure as Ive got no room, and probably will never use it. If i can save it from a skip as the benefactor has no idea what to do with it, I'll flip it for some pocket money, share the spoils, and I'll home it for a short period, otherwise no thanks.
The stuff ive picked up over the years from various jobs and careers, Ive not used for decades, and never will be used again probably. Ive got engineering tools Ive had since my apprenticeship over 40 years ago, never seen the light of day. My daughter has already told me its all going in the skip when I croak.
I know of a gent who passed away 30 years ago and left a large shed collapsing on his collection of classic British bikes. I tried to get a look at the bikes, but the sons assumed they were sitting on a goldmine and would not let anyone see what was there. Sadly they skipped the lot a few years ago, as when it came time to sell, there was little interest in the bikes. Unless its a rare collectors piece or latest Instagram must have, most of the enthusiasts willing to pay are dead or dying..............

Me neither. You never really own anything in life, You just pay to have use of things while you are here.When I've gone then I suppose I won't care what happens to my belongings
I would like my tools to go to where they would be appreciated, but that would be unlikely to happen unless I start finding new homes for them before I pass on.
