Hidden stash of 70’s/80’s porn

By Friday we had gotten the dumpster. I ordered a 30 yarder and they delivered a 20. The plan was to finish the entire demo by Saturday afternoon, but we decided to get rid of a bit more rotty sheetrock than planned so demo will continue this week.

Plumber Larry plumbed on Sunday. He knew his stuff and was able to repair all of the corroded pipes and then some in one long day. Hubby and I just acted as his gophers, running to Home Depot for materials. Two trips over the bridge back into Brooklyn on a hot summer Sunday with beach traffic.

Today is a day off for all except for the chimney guy, Manny LaSalle. Well, it’s not my day off but I’ll be doing some fun shopping for salvaged materials.

Anyway, here are some more finds.

This insulation looks like charcoal in person but it was actually some kind of cement. There were a couple of pieces of foam stuck in the wall. We think it was supposed to be concrete and foam insulation, but the foam was only in one spot.

Doesn’t look like this “insulation” was doing much. Why bother?

Kitchen wallpaper through the ages. Guess it was a child’s room at one point.

Found this 70’s linoleum under the carpet. It will be reused.

The Charles Manson Tate trials! Found under some kitchen lino. Also, papers from the 40’s during war time.
