I have joked that we will find bodies under the crawl space in this house. Now that the crawl space is open my nightmare has become reality! I know these dark, dank spots can be gross, but I never thought we'd fine....GASP...bones! Yup! Animal bones we're pretty sure ( well let's hope!) but bones nonetheless. First mice, now bones! I think I'll stop digging. I don't want to find anything else.
But there was one interesting little tidbit to came out of the walls. We found a little door that allowed for ice delivery to the home. Inside were newspapers from the 1940's. They were in perfect shape yet delicate and brittle. The minute I handled them they crumbled. The society page told me who was calling on whom over Thanksgiving in the year 1940. I guess that was exciting back then. Notre Dame was mentioned in football news. I will dig up a few news stories to share. I'm hoping to find a way to work some of these papers into a design element in the house.
