SHOCKING Discoveries Made During Renovations

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

I'm Japanese. Japanese soldiers absolutely used their blades in WW2. They didn't carry full sized katanas very often, but they did carry Tantos. They were ceremonial, yes, but they were also not mass produced junk. Some were produced for soldiers, but many were family blades belonging to their ancestors dating hundreds of years prior. Blades that had been passed down for generations. They were terrified to lose them to Allies as souvenirs, so many were scuttled. They used them in close quarters like Americans used combat knives. Was it as romanticized as The Last Samurai? No. But they did use them. Japanese soldiers also weren't allowed to surrender, lest they lose their honor. When faced with overwhelming enemy forces, they would charge the Allies with blades drawn if their ammunition and grenades were depleted, or perform Seppuku to keep their honor. Hundreds of soldiers have been found on idlands such as Iwo Jima in caves having had performed Seppuku rather than surrender. They also regularly executed and tortured prisoners with them. Japanese soldiers continued to fight the war long after it ended, one soldier refusing to believe Japan had lost and continued to fight until 1972. Another was fishing beside his issued rifle in the 60s, knowing the war was over and being afraid to surrender. Japanese soldiers had been sold propoganda by Emperor Hirohito that Americans and the Allies were barbaric people who would r*pe and torture anyone they came across before killing them. This fear caused civilians to Seppuku en masse, as they were terrified of the Allies due to brainwashing through this propoganda. This is also the reason they fought so hard and refused to surrender, and also why they took almost no prisoners.

Home owner gets the money 10% was a very nice gesture in my book

[@carolinewilliams9215]

Yeah The contractor was very greedy and I would have given him nothing

[@danissdiary]

Ok it wasn’t just me😅cause 10% of that much money can still be life changing

[@chfrancis1973]

I completely agree! It’s exactly what I said right after seeing this. Home owner definitely gets the money and it was really nice to offer the contractor 10%. As soon as the greedy contractor demanded more than 10%, then they should have got nothing.

A bit long story here Ouro Preto, Brazil is a city where most of Brazil gold was mined back in the 18th century (the city name means "black gold") Back then when the Lisbon earthquake in 1755 that destroied mos of the Portuguese capital (and what the earquake didnt destroy the tsunami did) there was a gold tax called "o quinto" (the fifth part), where all the Brazilian gold was taxed in 20% to be sent to Portugal as funds to help raise Lisbon Of course many people used some "creative ways" to evade part of the tax, hiding gold-dust filled urns in walls, under the houses, you name it.. Even saints wooden statues were hollowed out to hid gold inside Now and again some of those urns are found

This reminds me of another video I have seen of crazy renovations. One of them mentioned LAYERS of paint over the years. It would not surprise me that there would be anything of value hidden in the house that I grew up in, or even the one I am in now from the previous homeowners stashed away either in the attic or walls.

For the riddles, I'm sorta at odds with the first one: What is it that makes everything visible but is itself unseen? - The two answers I'm juggling between are light and eyeballs. As for the second one, I had to look up the answer: What is it that is often brought to table, often cut, but never eaten? - A deck of cards. No clue about the 3rd one though.

[@tb6303]

For the first one, I thought of light, but not eyeballs. I would guess the answer is the eyes. For the second one, I thought of a knife because it is used to cut, but the answer you found makes more sense (it didn't occur to me that the object, itself, was being cut). No clue about the 3rd one, either.

That duck was an antique. The goblets too. Ever watched antiques roadshow? The ducks represent marriage and the "silver" wares were either from ceremony or gifts. Hidden probably because it was a dowry and the most prized posessions of original owners.

[@ShellyGraham]

The house where the $182000.00 was found. IMO the money belongs to the home owner. Not the Plumber. I mean, when they find say a broken pipe,do they share the costs with the homeowner? The original home owner who left it, sorry but when you purchase a property, everything left after signing is the new owners, unless there's some type of written agreement in the closing paperwork. For instance, when my parents sold our home in Eagle River, Alaska my mom had installed a white faux brick wall. Covering that wall was a gorgeous ivy that mom had trained. We're talking 12' x 8' . The new owners made certain that the ivy would be staying!

There is a house somewhere along the Delaware River when George Washington and his party were trying to get across they had stopped at a place that had a well. The homeowners of this house happened to find it underneath their kitchen floor too.

(This is on the topic of renovations that never happened.) I have a Petro Wash gas station near my house that has been vacant since 2009. It had been operating fine before, but then, people graffitied the side of the station, the roof of the car wash collapsed, and the fuel tanks were removed. Then, they had to board the windows of the Food Shop. Plus, old signage left up advertised gas at $1.98 per gallon, which is nothing now. If that wasn't enough, the structure's roof that had the tanks under it had part of it collapsed. AND, the roof was moldy and caked with dirt. Seriously, please start renovating your gas stations when they're vacant.

BTW, did you know that, when shoes were first made after the dark ages, they were made so they could go on either the left or right foot. Ouch. #? (I lost count) -- $180,000 in the wall, found by the plumber. Yes, that's exactly how greed works. But you asked and I think the homeowner was being very fair offering 10% to the plumber as a finder's fee, it being their property. And, honestly, $18,000 is nothing to sneeze at. Because of his greed, he got a lot less. The basket behind the wall. I bet that was just forgotten when they cleaned out the storage area. Before cardboard boxes came along, baskets were often used as storage containers. What is it that makes everything visible but is, itself, unseen? Light What is it that is often brought to table, often cut, but never eaten? Playing Cards What is black and white and red all over?

This indoor 'well' is a left over of an indoor water-pump. I used to visit an old lady who still had one in the kitchen, next to her water-tap.

My opinion is that the cash belongs to the current homeowner. They bought and paid for the house including inside the walls. Also, the 10% thank you commission o the contractor is reasonable. Especially when they were not obligated to give the contractor anything. The contractor _could_ have taken the money without saying a word. For the perfect crime and just to be safe, wait about a year. Then locate a good place to "find" the money. A place with a low chance of anyone making an opposing claim. His own house? Out in the woods on a fishing trip? I'm not sure, but it would have to be carefully thought out. Of course, how could anyone live with themselves after doing that?
