More Buried Treasures

surprises

Eric, our awesome contractor, came by the grocery today to give Brian two things he dug up from the root cellar (aka wine cellar) during our last work installment (when he removed the floors). Eric’s been busy all summer and I know why: he rocks.

Anyway, here’s what he found (click thru for a larger image):

Treasures!! Turn-century German wine btl, lithium water btl. ... on Twitpic

It’s a camera-phone photo of a glass “Lithum Water” bottle, and a hand-thrown German wine bottle with nifty German-language stamp on it. I’ve seen the Lithum water bottles in antique shops. It was a delight to get these because I’m sure others in Eric’s position might be tempted to throw these away or sell them…

We’re discussing and scheduling next steps. We’ve had a structural engineer come before and it looks like we need another one to proceed. I’m excited.
