I'm like you Matt , diggng and finding old things. speaking of old. when we bought this house from an estate one of the things we did was to gut and total remodel the bathroom. In doing so I discovered that old Medicine cabinets have a slot in the back in which one could disponse of their old double edge razor blades. The problem came when , with my bare hands I was cleaning out any old or leftover plaster wall between the 2 by 4's. low and behold I got a handfull of old razor blades and many cuts all at onece. So if you do a total remodel in a bathroom, wear gloves wherever possible. Lee

To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. -- Thomas Jefferson Are you curious?
