Lee took the closet out of the second upstairs bedroom. And behind it we found a secret closet. Okay that makes it sound way to exciting. This is nothing like when Lee’s Uncle found a hidden drawer in a staircase with two antique ladies pistols. We actually knew that this closet was behind the newer closet that was torn out. We had seen it from looking back into the roof after the insulation was pulled out. It was the original closet. I’m not sure why they made the new closet over the old one. In the opposite upstairs bedroom it had both the new closet and the original old one.

I didn’t get Lee in any man action Sawzall sawing the closet shots. But I sure heard him. I was out picking up piles of fake paneling and lath. Sounded like the house was having something very bad happen to it.

Lee said that he came upon a pile of dead mice. As he was Sawzalling his way through them he said it made a cooking mouse smell. Um, what does that smell like? And then it exploded into grey dust. Uh, may I say “YUCK”! He said that he also threw one out the window. I wonder if that was the one that was perfectly preserved that he saw. So I guess we can add this to the dead animal list. Two dead cats (one very preserved), one dead squirrel (very preserved), and dead mice (one very preserved). I’m surprised we haven’t found a dead squirrel inside the house as we keep finding nut shells in the walls.

The above picture is of Lee’s most favorite tool at the moment. The Sawzall.
