My plumber buddy told me to always check the wall cavity for surprises before I close it up
We were working on a remodel in a 1950s house in Tacoma last month, and he was there to move a drain line. He said, 'Val, I once found a full set of 1970s Playboys and a mason jar of pennies behind a sheet of rock lath.' That got me thinking about all the weird stuff I've sealed away forever. I once found a kid's homework from 1998, completely finished, just tucked in there. Now I take a quick peek with my light before I hang the new board, just in case. What's the strangest thing you've ever found inside a wall?
