Started out not even wanting to get out of bed today. I've been working on doing a lot of demo to an old house to prep it for a remodel, pretty nasty old plaster etc...... Today was the day to completely remove a two story chimney, with an old coal fireplace on each floor. 12 foot ceiling downstairs, 10 foot up..... plus about 6 feet over the roof. Ugh......

Anyway, we got the whole thing out in under 8 hours, and right at the end, came a bonus..... two 50 dollar bills in the ash box for the upper fireplace! Made the day a whole lot better! We quit today with the chimney even with the first floor, and I have two more feet to break out tomorrow. It's all clogged with dust, and hopefully there will be more goodies in the last two feet. ;D

That's awesome, wish that happened to me at work!

I hope you are wearing a mask when demolishing those walls, a lot of lath and plaster contains asbestos.... ;D

Cool find! What are the dates on them?

Series 1977 and 1990, they seem to have been folded together so I'm thinking they had to be lost at the same time......
 
Nice score

I remember as a kid in a very shady situation I was paid to count a very large amount of money. It was all those older fifties and hundreds. To this day it is still the most cash I ever had in front of me at one time.

Sadly, the rest of the chimney is acting as a foundation pier......but I'm taking my Whites with me tomorrow and hitting the yard at lunch.
