We found 2 mystery items in the wall. That is, it's a mystery how they got IN the wall. Best guess gets a coffee from me!
We also discovered 2 cables not hooked up to anything, 2 speaker wires that run behind the fireplace, with the gas line, and a n electrical outlet totally behind the paneling. Oh and speaking of paneling... the "bleached oak" paneling that is covered over by crazy plaid wallpaper is actually itself covering over...darker brown paneling!
Yep, 2 layers of the ugly stuff, NICE. Don't forget to post your guesses, contest closes when all (3) of you have guessed, and no later than next week when S is in town so I can actually reward her in person if need be.
Okay I have no real idea but I'm going to guess a foreign newspaper/book and an old record.
ReplyDeleteWhat do people take short cuts??? I saw that you found old money in the wall?? Can I take you up on that coffee now??
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am laughing, because in my current house, I pulled panelling that was buckling and found...hhhmmm more panelling under it. It gets better...going along pulling it down, I get close to the fireplace and there are the fuzzy remnants of a bear rug that had been glued to the wall, so I guess to cover that up they nailed up some new panel. Anyway, had to pull down both sets and start from scratch. I am so thankful that Craig is a handy dandy guy. Now...beautiful wall, new fireplace and a place to hang our family pictures....so in terms of what you found in the wall? We have found old newspapers, and a sword in our old place...so how about a treasure chest? No idea...would love to do a coffee though so how about I buy?
ReplyDeleteOh wait...if it is an international wall of mystery...items from another place...perhaps some foreign money, or documents? What about a magazine in another language? Dying to know....
ReplyDeleteOk, love your ideas girls... I will post pics of the actual finds on Monday when the power gets turned back on!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'm guessing an old tin can. And a screwdriver. Because I can think of perfectly reasonable explanations for both getting into a wall. :P
