DH and I spent the better part of the afternoon demolishing the walls and ceiling of the dining room. The walls are down to the studs and the faux drop ceiling is removed from the ceiling dry wall.

We discovered two things.

One is that the wall facing the south side of our property was soaked. Not a big surprise, but not one we were happy about. There is also mold on the ceiling about half way across the room originating at that part. I put a call into a roof repair place and am awaiting a return call. Not expecting one until Monday seeing as it’s a holiday weekend and all.

The other discover was some prescription medication bottles behind the drywall. One was a liquid for external use only. The other was pills of some sort or other, but the label had a date on it. 12-17-62 which means the kitchen is almost as old as we are. Beyond about time for an update.

And in closing, may I say “ew?”
