The thrill and shock of opening the long-locked door were written all over Maggie McGaugh's (@maggiemcgaugh) face.
She has regularly updated her home transformation to her 1.4 million TikTok followers.
But there was one part of her property that she was yet to discover - a backyard shed.
“We just purchased a house that was left abandoned for over 20 years with no one living there," she explained.

Fortunately for her, the house had never been emptied out.
“It was fully furnished and it included everything that was in this locked shed."
The house had already thrown up several surprises, including a dresser complete with a full set of Willow crockery and a pine kitchen table and chairs.
There were some unpleasant ones too, including a "squirrel skeleton under a pillow."

She approached the shed, however, with some anticipation, mostly because of the number of bugs - dead and alive - that had taken up residence in the intervening years.
“We finally got access to it and I could not enter for obvious reasons. So then we opened the other door and I could not believe it."
As the shed doors rolled up, it revealed a veritable chamber of treasures and it was the last thing she expected.
She was totally delighted: “We had no idea the house came with a boat, lawn mower, ladders, and all sorts of amazing equipment.”
There was a lot of curiosity in her post, with over 47,000 likes.
“Omg, what a blessing," said one commenter.
“Oh my word, a boat, how cool," said another.
This person loved it: “Hidden treasures to sell for big money! That’s an awesome find.”
This viewer was in agreement: “Damn, it looks like you hit the jackpot. And it looks like it was well-maintained."
