Home renovation discovery.

We just got started on a remodel to make a real nice bedroom out of a crappy old one for our daughter. So, my crew has been in here all week, whacking the walls out and hauling away the remains of ancient construction. Well, wasn't I so excited when I noticed a couple key items they found between the closet wall and the shower stall?
No. Not really. Because, it turned out the folks who used to own this dump didn't use tobacco products or consume delicious chocolates, or even subscribe to a sports publication which would have allowed them the fascinating privilege of being able to accumulate tiny pictures of athletic men who changed the direction of card collecting and hobbyist fanaticism forever.
Wrong time. Wrong place.
However, I did inherit 2 empty Smirnoff Vodka bottles which had been hidden in the walls, presumably by the crew who did the installation the last time this place got remodeled.
No wonder it's in such crummy shape. But, we're gonna fix that. ;-)

In a seriousness, good luck with the remodel.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Let's call this the "2016 Smirnoff Bedroom Wall Find", let's definitely see some scans of this.

He did better than Geraldo and Capone's Vault.
Good luck with your renovation. This winter we're doing the entire front of the house - not looking forward to that.

LOL. We did that major job early last year. I wish you well, but encourage you to remain patient and keep that sense of humor intact. It worked for me - especially through multiple contract Change Orders and compounded costs!!
Now I feel like a seasoned pro. But, I'll never be much of a DIY'er. I cry when I get a paper cut or a knuckle bruise. ;-)

How was the centering on the label's? Hopefully you won't get any qualifiers
On the smaller 1/2 pint bottle the adhesive had dried out, causing the curved Smirnoff emblem to fall off. I reattached it with a colorful sticker. The larger one pint bottle featured well centered labels, but has spots of black tar on it from when they sealed up the shower pan. I guess that means a (PD).
