The Kadizzles have been visiting Mrs. Kadizzle's brother. He is one of the foremost experts on Civil War items in the country and is an appraiser of such items. Kadizzle calls him a historical hoarder. Moving about in his home where we stay is a delicate process. Valuable items are on the walls, tables, floor and in any space he can find. Old pictures cover the walls and all kind of items are placed in ideal areas to be knocked over. Sleeping involves crawling up a small set of steps to an ancient bed. Beside the bed is crowded with an old school desk from at least a hundred years ago. Ben enjoys living in a museum, but for ordinary people moving about is next to impossible. What would ordinarily be a counter in the kitchen is cluttered with small civil war treasure chest.
On the property there is a separate building full of glass cases with more special items. People from all over the country pay Ben to assess their Civil War collections.
At some point all the paint on the walls will be covered with guns, paintings, tapestry, or who knows what.
