Is it worth it to crawl under this very old house to pull this stuff out?

Here's the thing about that place . This is the tip of the iceberg Friend. I'm confident there are older and better bottles below those in the picture. Get on that like white on rice  Ace Villa-v |

What I do when I go under my house is to wear a full jumpsuit and leather gloves plus either a wool cap or a baseball cap. I hate the idea of spiders, etc. Gives me the creeps, but I'd do that and just take a really bright light with you. Somehow it doesn't seem as creepy when it's all lit up. Once your there for a while it gets a little better.
SHow us what you got!

You use the name recovering history and you ask that question. You can't be serious

I would take every bottle out of there, dig, and screen - that looks like a gold mine to me!

I was gonna mention that myself......  So are you gonna get at it or what? I think the general consensus is in agreement.  |

I'm afraid I'd have to have a few shots of courage before I'd go under there, but I'd go! & don't forget there is a group of people that collect cans w/ the labels/paint still on them, so don't limit the goods to just bottles. I'm thinking if ya need any help there might be a few here to volunteer? me included! good luck & bug spray!! gallons preferably.

I was confronted with a similar situation quite a few years ago. But the biggest concern in my case was "Black Widow" spiders. There were tons of them! So what I did was to toss several "Bug Bombs" (Self releasing spray cans from Home Depot) in ahead of time, (at least 24 hours prior), and then I dressed like an astronaunt, as previously mentioned, and then crawled under there and "Cleaned House!" Go for it! If I can do it, anybody can!
Good luck, and please show us all of the "Keepers" you come home with.
