I found a hidden door in the wall of my house
Really odd.
I was sort of in the middle of house cleaning, and moved the corner of the sectional couch. I hadn't moved that piece of it, in (of course) the corner, since I moved in. I'd always re-arranged things with the other pieces, and left that corner one in.
So anyhow, I moved the corner piece to clean behind it, and it was positively disgusting back there. TONS of dog hair, a french fry, a lot of dust and dirt on the carpet, just what you'd expect.
Except I found a little hole where the sheetrock had been worn away.
It sort of looked like it had been damaged by a rocking chair, but the sectional couch of course doesn't rock. The sheetrock was actually worn all the way through in the middle of the damaged spot, and the hole was about the size of a hamburger.
I would've left it, pushed the couch back and called it a day, except while I was down on my hands and knees I saw something reflective through the hole, maybe six inches behind the surface of the wall. I grabbed my little headlamp and shined it in.
It was a hinge. A brass hinge.
I got out the vacuum cleaner and turned it on, letting it catch bits of sheetrock while I pulled more of it off the wall, enlarging the hole. By the time I stopped I had put a hole in my wall about three feet high, and exposed a cheap-looking wooden door on three brass (OK, probably not actual brass, but brass-colored) hinges.
The door matched the original kitchen cabinets, which were all gone since the remodel, except for the same kind were used in the bathroom, and I left those. It was latched with a little cheapo slider dealie, and I opened the door and found I could see a whole passageway behind the door, some 2x4's bolted to the wall behind it like a ladder, leading down.
I had my headlamp. I climbed in and headed down, thinking about spiders the whole time.

I read that earlier, it was the weirdest set up ever to some lame joke about President Bush. I am sure drugs were involved in the creation of that post.

I can`t speak for anyone else but I come here for a dose of humor,politics and friendship.
While life goes on the rest of my day I don`t think much about politics unless it comes up in conversation.
What is scary is the level of obsession DUmmies have over everything political which maybe makes it understandable the hatred and bile they spew on an everyday basis.
One never gets all that they want but to dwell on what you don`t have will lead to self pity,anger,hatred and lastly madness.

Not just lame, but old. I heard that joke years ago.

we actually know this eccentric guy out here in a small nearby town and he had a secret door put in this amazing house he built, then he told everybody about it .. so, i guess its no secret anymore.
anyway, the house is a marvel and so.. i was hoping right up until the lameass joke, that this was a real post cause i think secret doors are a cool old world trick.. more houses should have them. :cheersmate:
