What the heck is this stuff?
Comments (16)I don't think I've ever seen an old attic which didn't have flooring--I'd bet that practice started after the war when so many houses needed to be built for returning vets, since most of those didn't have full-height attics. :) I find the beaverboard interesting, and I think that is what I removed from my basement ceiling--it only covered the part under the living room for some reason--maybe to keep stuff from the old coal furnace getting into the upstairs? My house was built in 1908, and yet, my attic has the original finish--lath and plaster! It was even papered, but I don't know the pattern since every scrap of wallpaper in the house was painted over at least once--the downstairs hall had at least three coats of paint and about 1/16" of paper!...See MoreWhat the heck is it?

Comments (17)I know you put some measurements in OP but would like to see next to something familiar for perspective?? You said a little more than a foot long and about 3.5 "circumference"?? Maybe diameter? That size circumference would be smaller than index finger to thumb "circle"??...See Morewhat the heck are these black things?
Comments (10)Are there cockroaches in your area? We don't really have many in my area so I've never seen one or lived with them, but when I was looking for pics of mouse droppings just now, there are pics of cockroach droppings (I guess I never realized they left droppings) that look exactly like that. Not sure if they would hang out by a furnace vent or not. Oh, but I see maybe dog food is nearby?...See MoreWhat the heck is a Kokobunch Kit?
Comments (7)I love a mystery! So I found a post on Reddit saying it was a trademarked product invented by a company selling packaged foods on Amazon so that other sellers can't be attached to their listings for the same products. Indeed, the seller for all that came up with ”kokobunch kit” are being sold by ShoPpingPro LLC, and that same entity has a registered trademark for it. On the trademark application, it says, ”Serving tongs; Tongs for serving and spreading” and has the below picture. If you look at the product pictures for it on Amazon, they all have the little packet, in different colors. The packet shows spoon and fork heads in the logo, but the product itself seems just to be a bent slice of bamboo or similar, with a few gripper notches on the inside of the ends. Thank-you! This was fun!...See More- 15 years ago
