Maybe you could offer this person pick of the litter in exchange? <br /><br />Just some random thoughts. My father is in his 70's now.

Engines, parts, wings, fuselages, all spread out over three properties, a lifetime of parts and tools collected, and not one instruction left in how to deal with it. I used to stand there and ask out loud, " ok Dad, what am I supposed to do with this?"
