@AbandonedAmerica think of the knowledge that person had. They probably knew the exact location of every item, every use case. The ingenuity of being able and willing to repair anything, instead of buying new is beautiful and amazing.
@iz_floresta I agree, just was commenting on another reply that the idea of so much of that knowledge vanishing with someone's death is sad and a bit horrifying.
@AbandonedAmerica I can understand that. To be clear, I have no desire for immortality, but it would be cool to have my consciousness transferred to a computer so that I could explore all that's been archived. Sadly, as is true with many Indigenous cultures, there is still vast amounts of cultural knowledge that is passing away with elder generations.
@beeoproblem all of the machinery has been cleared out since and it was turned into a home. The people that live there even bought a few of my prints, which I thought was cool 😊
@AbandonedAmerica isn't that interesting! I bet he could find everything in there and someone else would be utterly lost. Reminds me of my great-grandfather's garage.
@WendyMsGator@AbandonedAmerica Yes! WANT. (Mainly the storage shelves, because they look supercool and useful, but I'm sure I'd find uses for the stuff too -- especially with places to file it all...)
