You just don’t know how much stuff that fella gathered over 60 years! LOL! He had three or four large buildings CRAMMED full. You could barely move around in them for all the stuff. They guys can’t get down there every weekend so it’s taking a while to get everything up here. There’s also the matter of storage for the crates up here. Once the museum’s closed, they can stack some crates in the museum. They’d be in the way if they were stacked in there now.
It’s not a job - - it’s a pleasure to be there. And yes, it IS a lot like Christmas every time we unpack crates. LOL! So much cool stuff and all pieces of military history.
And yes, it’s dusty and sometimes musty but it all cleans up nicely enough.
