Even during routine repairs you can discover something surprising (17 photos)

When starting a large-scale renovation, we internally prepare for the fact that a lot of dust, dirt and construction debris awaits us. But sometimes, in addition to this, much more unexpected and unusual things are found in the house, left over from previous, very long-standing residents.





These include paintings on the walls, antiques, as well as secret drawers, safes and even entire rooms! Here are a few more greetings from the past that people found during renovations.
