Hiding things in the walls

June 28, 2012 by Erin Heaton

Hiding things in the walls

I’m kind of enamored with hiding things in our house for future homeowners to find. Maybe it’s because I would love to find things someone else hid long ago.

With the upper stairway walls open, I took the opportunity to stash another piece (the first being under our front porch steps).

I printed a recent photo of our house on cardstock, then slipped it behind a piece of drywall before the piece beside it went up.

Who knows if anyone will ever find it (or if I will be the one to find it), but it’s fun to think about either way!

    Years ago, a friend and I used to sneak AOL CD’s into each others’ aprtments. (back when every newspaper, every mailbox, every magazine had the things tucked inside)

    Then, I bought a place that was being renovated, in the same building where he already lived. He had the workmen seal up some AOL disks inside my walls – and afterwards, told me they were there, but not which rooms they were in; I didn’t learn the exact locations until I moved out.

    Well done.

      That’s funny. Being the hoarder that I am, I think I still have a couple of those tins that the AOL discs came in.
