When I opened up a knee wall area to put in storage shelves, part of the
framing created small cavities that were to be covered with drywall.

Before I closed it up, I had each of my 4 kids draw a picture, sign it,
date it and stash it in a cavity. If anyone ever remodels that room,
they'll find a few cute surprises.

Oh, yeah.

You should see what's under the concrete in your basement, and under the
topsoil in your yard.

I think the problem has gotten worse than in previous years, since many
places no longer allow builders to burn debris on-site like they used to.

My comment will go off topic but this string made me think of it.

About a year ago we were doing some repair on our 5th wheel trailer so
we could sell it. On one side the basement floor floor had a small
area where the plywood sub-floor had rotted (basement is a lower
storage compartment on these RVs). I decided to do the repair right
and cut out an entire section of the floor and replaced it with
plywood. When the floor panel was removed the insulation, which
rested on a rubber belly membrane, was damp. I pulled the insulation
out and got some similar fiberglass bat insulation to replace it. As
I was preparing to install the insulation it occurred to me if water
found its way in again, the insulation would again get soaked, again
exposing the lower plywood to rot.

At that time we were cleaning up the gift shop of the museum where we
do volunteer work. I remembered we had a bunch of 2" rubber balls we
were going to donate to the towns Christmas parade group for give-
away's. When it went to the museum I also found a box full of yellow
rubber ducks that were also slated for give away, so I grabbed a hand
full.

The dozen or so balls and ducks worked well. I scattered them around
the rubber membrane, put the insulation bat in and installed the new
plywood floor. A little Bondo smoothed things out and I reinstalled
the vinyl flooring. It was as good as new.

As I was cleaning up a vision came to mind. Some day, in the future,
some RV repair guy was called on to fix wiring or plumbing in this
area. As they often do, he was lie under the trailer with a box knife
and slice the section of membrane away for access. He would then be
pummeled with an avalanche or rubber ducks and balls. "What the
F***!!!!

My grandfather was a mason. In his day, they would sh*t in the empty
concrete bags and toss them into the back of a truck to take to the
dump.

He loved to tell the story of how he was teaching a young mason the
tricks of the trade.

"After laying a few courses, step back a bit to make sure your lines
are straight."

He was so engrossed in the "teaching moment" that he forgot he
standing on some scaffolding. He fell backward off the scaffolding
into the back of a truck.

Luckily a bag of sh*t cushioned his fall. Not so lucky was that the
sh*t squirted out of the bag.

From some reason the young mason didn't want Grandpa to teach him
anything else that day.

My previous house was around five hundred years old.

Are you the original owner?

I did some replastering work and behind the old plaster I found a
fireplace in the wall thickness (which was stone, over four feet
thick.)
The hole had been filled with loose stones which I removed in order to
cement them back as not being cemented had caused the trouble.
It was filled with all sorts of junk including pottery, jars, glass
bottles, leather shoes, toys, big nails. I found out it was about 150
years old. Apparently it was customary to put stuff like this in the
house walls for good luck. So, I deemed it wise to put it back.

In another part of the house I found a horse shoe built into the wall.
This must have been done when the house was orginally built. I put
that back as well. No point in taking chances.

We have saved all the dolls, and the boxes they came in since 1978.

Good for you! Alas, most of my son's toys were broken and discarded. He had
all of the original Transformers, as well as a good number of the Star Wars
collection. His Voltron did make it, but no box. My wife has an original
Barbie - no box. The box is worth far more than the doll.

Wish I still had the Star Trek Communicator I got when I was
a boy.

Go to the store and buy a kid's toy and put it in the wall,
in it's box. It'll
be worth a fortune.

We have saved all the dolls, and the boxes they came in since 1978.

Hey, there's an opening. How difficult can it be to make boxes?

Workman took a crap in the toilet and did not flush it.

I wasn't going to go there but at least they made it into
the toilet.
When scrounging a job site for drywall buckets, I've learned
to pull off
the tops of any buckets to make sure they are empty. Of
course, you know,
I took home a bucket of **** once.

to paste stuff back in.)

I learned as a young kid doing construction cleanup- if the lid was
pounded back onto the bucket, throw it away unopened. And look around
corners in closets before you sweep with a pushbroom- those roach-coach
milk cartons in use back then made great one-use urinals.

I've noticed that too. It's an inconvenient setup, from a replier's point
of view.

Luckily, my news client (XNews) allows me to defeat the "-- " sig function
simply by highlighting the text I wish to quote in my reply before
replying.

"Normy" can defeat it himself by simply removing the space after the
double-hyphen. If he knows how to do that...

Unlike Jesus, Normy clearly doesn't give a god damn rat's ass about the
preferences or convenience of others. However, the "select text first"
approach works on my newsreader, also.

Oh, like this?

Learn something every day on here- I'll try to remember it for next
time, but with my swiss-cheese memory, who knows?

I'm using Thunderbird at the moment, if anyone cares...

Maybe it's time to start sticking iPads and Kindles in the
wall.

Those will be ancient technology by the time the walls get
opened up.
