It also included blueprints for the original remodel and some Bush-era newspaper clippings.

Winter posted photos of the find on Facebook, promising to "pay it forward." After making the discovery, Winter decided to place Palahniuk's box back up above the ceiling and added a few new contributions from her family for the next homeowners to find.
