Pretty cool. Can't just toss it, it made it 117 years - I won't be the one to end it, ill probably frame it and put it somewhere i suppose.
That is so cool.

now where did I put my teeth?!


supposedly this house has/had gold bullion stashed away somewhere. But, I've torn a lot of the place apart and found no such thing. Lots of empty rusty coffee cans though.

I found 2 petrified birds in the kitchen ceiling when I tooj a section of that down. I took one of them on the chin as I pulled down a chunk of plaster. Wonderful.

Very nice. I was working on a kitchen remodel on the Plaza years ago, house was built in the 1930's. We pulled down the upper cabinets and a piece of paper fell down onto the floor from behind it. We picked it up and there was writing in pencil, "What the hell did you think you were going to find a million bucks?". We were laughing pretty hard, some carpenter had waited a long time for that punchline to play out. We had it framed and gave it to the Owners of the house.

I leave my name, or family, or a note to future workers, and the date on nearly everything I do. Hidden somewhere no one will see it without significant renovation.

I, too, have left a trail of hidden comments, some of which are mundane, others of which are incriminating. I think (hope) I'll be long gone before they're found.

Speaking of tear outs and renovations, back in the day medicine cabinets had a slot in the back for dropping used razor blades down the wall cavity, and I've always wondered if those ever come back to haunt guys like you?
