[AsktheBuilder]

@AGreedyTree Indeed it is as is the product it's made from: WOOD. There's all sorts of wood in most homes.

man in 50 years a sofa will be 5 grand..this guy doesn't have much hope for the us dollar

[AsktheBuilder]

It'll probably be more now that the stimulus package has diluted the value of the dollar!

On one of the jobs I did, I found a half-rotten carcass of a cat and a possum. down in a basement. I don't know how they got there because all the vents were tightly guarded. It was putrid I tell ya. I almost hurled my breakfast that day.

I guess animals aren't good choices for keeping in the time capsule.

[AsktheBuilder]

That is correct. No animals in time capsules unless they are properly mummified and treated with the utmost respect.

A friend of mine had to replace part of her flooring due to water damage; when she pulled it up she found parts of a 1950 newspaper underneath. So when we fixed the damage, we put a current newspaper in its place, wrapped in plastic.

I buried 2 timecapsules in my garden 2 weeks ago. I opened my other one 5 days ago after 5 years underneith the ground. The other one is still buried for 10 years.
