After doing a number of renovations over the years, there are many things we’ve found as you start to do the demolition work.  Stripping sheetrock and plaster off the walls can sometimes reveal a time capsule of sorts.  Some can be intentional by the people who built it, or old newspapers that give you an idea of the last time that space saw some light.    Perhaps the oddest of the them all, however, is an item we’ve found more than once…. underwear.

Here’s a list of the top four weirdest things we’ve found in demolition work.

1. Underwear- The bra’s above were found trapped in an old laundry shoot.

2. Tighty-whities- The BVD’s pictured below we found recently in a wall.

3. Devil Doll- This was also found in a wall.

4. An envelope that read “Extra Money”-  Alas, it was empty.
