those are awesome finds!

We found a bunch of newspapers from 1960-1970 underneath the lineoleum in our dining room... one of my favorite articles was 'where will Moncton (our city) be in the year 2000?'

It was funny, and not even close

well... depending on how much of it is there, it might be worth quite a bit if you were to sell it, I think.

We found newspapers from the late 60s when we started our bathroom remodel. Different era but still cool.

If anyone ever tears down or remodels THIS old house after we are gone there will be LOTS to find!

In almost every room we have redone we have left a time capsule of some kind. A set (penny, nickle, dime and quarter and dollar) of brand new coins, a note from the kids with dates and family descriptions. In my "dog room" which is what we call the entertainment/computer room I left a current copy of This Old House magazine and a current month copy of Countryside! Both were sealed in a Ziplock freezer bag and placed in the wall. I am trying to think up a cool thing that will increase in value to put under the concrete repair we need to make in the basement. Suggestions are encouraged here!

I love to place things that cost little now but may be worth some money in the future. Why not leave the next hard working woman a little legacy!

By the way kudos to that hard working, floor rippin' mom of yours!

lol I by accident left my G1 drivers license under the floor at the old house. It was too late to get it out, so I had to cancel it and get a new one LOL...

I think we might put a local paper in, and perhaps a copy of Hobby Farm Home or something like that + photos. A photograph of some children playing outside *this* house from sometime in the 40s or 50s fell out of the wall while we were putting in a new front door.

We lived in a house built in 1890 when I was a kid... we tore down a false wall in the attic and found all kinds of cool things. A dollhouse, a large wheel bicycle, a years worth of newspapers from 1898, bottles of linseed oil, and 'Wilson's magic elixer' that supposedly cured what ailed you

We're going to leave things in the walls and under floors in this house as we go too, because it was so much fun to find them.

Aw, I wish we had an attic! Our house is 1 1/2 storey and sometime in the 80s they moved the collar ties up and made the second floor ceiling higher so we don't have an attic. My mum was telling me when she was a kid her dad was a tenant farmer in England and they lived in an old 17th century farmhouse that had roman ruins under it and tunnels and stuff!

Cool finds! Old magazines and newspapers are always so interesting.

Good thing your mom was working on the bathroom. I would hate to be on the toilet and fall through the floor!

LOL thats what she said! She already fell through the hay loft floor..she is quite proud of the fact that her fat saved her from falling all the way through.
