Today we said goodbye to our old house. Dave's grandparents moved to this farm in 1945 and we believe the old house would have been well over 100 years old today. We had some guys come over this weekend and salvage all the gutters, radiators, copper pipes from the basement, doors, fireplace and various other things to put to good use either by reselling or giving away. We took the rest of the pine doors, parts of the old built-in hutch, hardware off the cabinets to use in our new kitchen and a few other odds and ends. We found all sorts of hidden treasures and buried goodies as we gutted the house. Some include an old Drink Coca-Cola sign from the 40's, a box of vintage model car kits, and grandma’s old handmade toddler potty chair! Enjoy the photos. It was amazing to see it come down so quickly.

I can't believe you demolished our house! :) I was looking forward to cold baths and plugged toilets! LOL! I would love to see pics of the treasures you found. How exciting!
LOL!!! I did think of you guys this morning. You know it wasn't that bad when we offered it to you!!! It pretty much fell apart the last 6 months. Hey, we still have a nice big basement and barn so be careful what you say:) I'll take photos of the goodies and post them too.
