Exploratory demolition
While I'm waiting for permits and drawings and bank loans, etc. I can't help but poke around my building and see what I'm going to be dealing with. Last week I was removing a drop ceiling and decided to pull down some drywall attached to a brick wall. This wall was once an exterior wall and then an addition went up and used the exterior wall as it's eastern interior wall. Underneath I found a very well preserved advertising sign painted on the side of the building for the Mercantile Bank and Trust. It was one of the most exciting finds I've ever had.

I think this find is just the coolest thing ever. I've always suspected that I would totally love demolition, but the possibility of finding something cool underneath makes it even sweeter!
Have you ever found money in the walls of a building you demo'd? People down here are always talking about all these older folks who would hide money in the walls of their farm houses. Just thought I would ask...
Wow, cool! don't throw it down, keep it. It's a really, really nice find!
