Always check the barn !

A New York man retired.
He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last,
and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.
The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years;
the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs.
The house was being sold to pay taxes. There had been several lookers,
but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut.
Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn,
and it wasn't complimentary to the property. Nobody made an offer on the place.
The New York guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved
in, and set about to tear in to the barn... curiosity was killing him.
So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders... and
cut thru the welds.

What was in the barn.......?

The doors were welded shut, but an angle grinder took care of that.
