What "Treasures" Have You Found While Rehabbing Houses?

[Michael Noto]

Some of you might be following the deal diary thread my business partner @Bill Labrecque and I started for our 2-family flip in Southington, Connecticut here on BP.

After closing we noticed that in the 2-car detached garage the property has there was an "All Nighter" Wood Stove in what was otherwise a completely empty and clean space.  We put it up for sale on Craigslist for $300 a couple days ago and had someone pick it up today and buy it for $250.

That made mew think that with all of the active investors we have here on BP, some of you must have some cool or not so cool "treasures" you uncovered while rehabbing homes.  Let's hear about them!

Found this treasure in a short sale along with a bunch of other random stuff.  Probably made about $1K on Craigslist and spent $1K on dumpsters to get rid of all the junk but I had to keep this.  I keep it in my golf bag and pull it out whenever I want to lighten the mood or I'm trying to shave off a couple strokes (pun intended):
