Man cave treasures

While in the "Man cave" under the Castle, the boys kept finding all different kinds of old treasures.
We think our old treasures are too interesting not to share with you.

"Capstan" Navy Cut Fine Flake Medium Strength Tobacco

An old nail, we think it's probably out of a wooden railway sleeper

Gillette Blue Blade razors

Peters Tommy The Tasmanian Wois Lid

Some dried herbs

An article about Hitler Attacked - Destroyer of Freedom

Some bones - we are told probably a sheep

A gun advertisement

An old bottle

Have you ever found interesting old objects?

Stripping the old bathroom & hallway

While the boys were busy working down in the "man cave", Mrs Boss and I began to strip the bathroom of it's belongings aka tiles, bath and vanity.

Bathroom before:

No sooner than we started, we run into a problem. The tiles were not tile cemented to the cement sheeting, they were liquid nailed to it. Making the job of removing them a lot more difficult. The more we tried to carefully hammer and chisel them off, the more we kept accidentally putting holes into the cement sheeting.
 
We decided it would be easier to remove the cement sheeting completely and start all over.
So in came the big gun boys to do all the rough stuff.
