Letter Hidden in the Ceiling

Our house was originally a log cabin built in the 1900th century. Since then, additions have been made to the original structure. The original logs have since been covered by more modern materials.

To aid with the remodel, Skip has enjoyed making random holes in the walls and ceiling around the house to see the structure that lies underneath.

Here is a picture from the livingroom:


We figured that there was a metal beam in the ceiling here as any compass go crazy when placed underneath it!
This is what it looks like without the panelling: 


As Skip was removing the panelling, a letter fell from the metal beam. The previous, previous owners had written a letter and placed it there during the remodel in the 1980's. 



The letter simply states who lived in the house, when they moved here and when the remodel was done. What a great idea! We'll see what we will add to mark our remodel!

  1. Hi! I’m just googling around about my grandparents old house that I just started to think about a lot lately. I spend a lot of time there and I really have a lot of living memories and pictures with me from there. And here it is!!! You have this blog about it! Elov was my grandpa and Gunvor my grandma. I can still remember so much about this place and the garden, the forest, the small houses, the garage, oh my I’m being really nostalgic now!! I used to live in the “blue room” upstairs in the middle when I stayed over and in the big “finrum” the dogs were never allowed… I could go on for ages…. And the playhouse, it was mine and I loved it!! I hope this message finds its way to you! If you wan’t to just say hi or to hear more or se pictures please feel free to contact me! 😊 Maria
