<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 4312011, member: 106826"]With the stay at home orders in place, it's given a number of us the opportunity to get to some chores and renovations that have been on the 'list' to do for a long time. One of those items for me was to pull up some of the remaining baseboard and replace it with materials that have sadly sat for a couple of years on the shelf in my garage. When I bought my home almost 20 years ago, it was a foreclosure requiring plenty of attention. And as we did the repairs on our home, I found that the previous owners/builders? stuck money in various places. The largest gains were in the kitchen: coins were put under every installed lower cabinets. And when I refinished the floors, the drum sander vibrated up a few more coins. Most of what I found was quite common: house built in 1981. But there were a few wheat back cents in the mix. And as time passed, the finds became fewer and fewer. But whenever we start a project, I know to keep an eye open. Here is what I found stashed in an open spot between floorboards.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1096507[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing too special, but interesting that they left behind 'treasures' to be discovered at some future point.
