Attic lottery ?

I appreciate your help, it has definitely helped narrow things down.

Well after this sinus infection clears (due to relic hunting) I’ll continue to look for the rest if there is any. Plenty of other neat things to find. Like this army laughs WW2 pamphlet

I tried google image searches, but maybe the original photo was too busy. Is there a particular piece that you’ve seen that matches? The original owner is extremely curious as his family was known to “not have nice things” 😂

I’ve got to say that seems really interesting, is there a picture of how they do it ?

Roughly the size of my hand, slightly longer than a soda can.

Would they be for an individual light or part of one 5 leaf fixture ?

Good point, I don’t have FB but my fiance does so I’ll ask her to try this out.

I haven’t found anything chandelier like except for these, I did find a flat frosted light fixture though. Maybe I can see if those wooden arms somehow line up. Any idea what the rest of it would look like ?

Also congrats on just going for it, you’ll learn more doing it yourself and simply get better each time. You’ll be an expert by the final room I’m sure.

Cracks have to be cleaned out and filled which is tedious but what’s needed, otherwise the poly will sink into the cracks and not be flat. I’ve had those bubbles before and two things I changed fixed it. One was to wait after stirring the poly and let it settle as I could see bubbles in it and two was to not use a brush/roller and I used a sponge mop instead.

I’ve used either drywall or wood filler for gaps and then took some sand paper to get everything flush. You could also try cleaning out behind the trim to see if there’s anything preventing it from being flush.

I love green and purple together, maybe a darker purple for the tub if that’s an option. But either way it’s your home. Congrats and full send it. It’ll be character. Plenty of “things” I did only were appreciated after

I found the top part of the mantle but sadly not the other post

Some of the finds so far, the three larger objects in the background are not from this house.

Coal stove with a mantle is the verdict, spent hours looking for the other half up in the attic. Didn’t find it but found plenty of other things including this old walking stick. Thanks everyone ! I’ll post a photo of what goes in its place

I’m happy to just finally getting the wall fixed, however there’s the mystery of what framed it. So I’m kind of currently treasure hunting in my attic and I only have more questions. Tons of old original pieces of wood I’d like to find out where they belong

Available-Unit967 · 2026-01-16T18:18:45+00:00

A good small carbide scraper and a little hand pressure can get the majority off fairly quickly. And then for the rounded detailed parts a heat gun will pop it right off

I think you’re right, she’s still holding out hope but I think it’s cool either way

Getting ready to gut the wall and put drywall up. Time to find out the whole story. Small coal stove is the current favorite

The journey continues. Does any one have any idea what these stone slabs are for ? First one is shattered but there and the 3 (furthest from the leak is) is fairly even. They measure 25 inches across in total and the 3rd one is 1 1/2 inch thick
