Since Viv and I got bored with pulling up plywood in the attic, we decided to play “What’s Under There?” We could not see what was under the flooring between the roof rafters, so I pulled out my camera, stuck it in the hole and took a picture. We would then pull the camera up, see if there was anything in the hole and then move on to the next hole. I remember doing this as a kid on nature walks. I would stick my camera in a place I did not want to go, make sure the flash was on and take a picture to see if there was anything lurking in there. It is a wonder I did not have a run in with a snake or other animal. This was basically the same principal and just as much fun! Here are our pictures from our game “What’s Under There?”
Yes, I did find two very old glass bottles. Other than that, I can safely say that there is no hidden treasure in our attic! I am not sure how old they are and if they date back to the building of our house (what other reason would you have bottles in the attic), but here they are all spiffed up. They will go on the “Things we found in and around the house” shelf.
Happy Tuesday everyone!

I love that show, “This Old House.” I am always interested in what kinds of “treasures” people come across in old houses. Any bit of memorabilia or history is interesting to me.
Looks like the kind of bottle my Dads Mother use to roll biscuit doe with and is something that she probably learned how to do around 1910.
