@neauoire Uh.. no.. but I did find out how my house was built by taking the walls down. @neauoire yep, and then I found out they are made of newspaper and spit and I panic for the state of the house @rezmason when we got knocked down, most of it stayed in place. We have a vertical food locker with jars(not pictured) and that went flying all over the place, but most of these stayed put, the wall that I took off kept them in their place. @neauoire Wait, there was a full pantry with someone else's food behind the wall?! 👀👀 @hecate @helveticablanc No, no, there were doors on that what, this is our foods XD @neauoire Ohhhh! I was gonna ask if y'all happened to find a nice cask of Amontillado back there! @cathos yeah maybe, the weather is a bit to cold right now to do it properly, but if it gets warmer, we'll insulate the wall. @artsun I think the cabinet acts as a sort of isolation layer, unfortunately they haven't varnished or painted the back.. so @jfroehlich a mix of both, there was very old glue that just came off easily, lots of painters nails, and a ton of soft brass screws that broke in half when I tried to remove them Everything was held together with tiny little screws that didn't really bite, upsized everything 4 times, making it knockdown proof. So if a wave rolls us again, the cabinet is not going try and get out of its place. @yngmar Not all! And I must have removed a hundred painters nails that were.. also not stainless. They left little res dots all over. @neauoire kind of. I took probes in the kitchen with a drill. Because this house was build in 1600 and a part of it is clay and hay and the other part is cement and steel. |
@neauoire ... was all that stuff... just inside it the whole time?
