Like packaging material? I've known people to try and use it as insulation.We once removed a random hardboard wall over an original external wall and there was an avalanche as we pulled it back! ⛄️Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Those might just be made of maize going by the colour (yes, really).0

think they are just discoloured having been there about 15 years and there are loads of them the more i pull out the more tumble down!! weird0

all behind the kitchen sink - and washing machine when it was there. thought it might be some sort of primitive damp/condensation thing?0

sounds the same just like packing material- wondered if it was some primitive form of damp course😀Doozergirl said:Like packaging material?
