Original floors

Back to destruction today. I happened across this little book during my destruction. Now I'm wondering if the PO was trying to leave a message about the bathroom?

I began this morning around 8:30 working on more destruction. My goal for the day was removal of the cieling tile and the floor tile bringing it back to its original wood (not that I will keep that though). The cieling tile removed relativly easy and the floor tile not too bad either just alot of nails. I was able to start removing the trim around the windows and also the door frame to the original linnen closet.

The closet door removal was interesting in itself. I discovered that when the bad remodeling job was done the door frame was reduced by roughly 6 inches. This allowed the remodeler to use the door from the buttler stairs (which has obviously been removed) as the second bathroom door. What else will I discover in this bathroom? Hidden stairs to the basement?
