A while back, i was watching a TV show about some people who bought an old home with intent to restore it eventually. they spent their life savings on the home, and had nothing left after buying it. soon they noticed that the roof had severe leaks and there was alot of structural damage. Even though they did not have the money to fix it, they had a contractor come to inspect the damage. he started tearing down the plaster and discovered that the walls were insulated with old movie posters. there were thousands of movie posters in the walls of the house. even though over half of them were destroyed, they were able to make enough money by auctioning them off to pay for an entire renovation of the home.
