Dad Finds Safe Behind Broken Cabinet And Then Decides To Open It

He began the kitchen renovation a week ago and everything was going swimmingly. They would soon have a brand new kitchen to make their meals in.

However, as he pulled the cabinet to the side to do some repairs, he spotted a strange handle on the wall. He couldn’t shake the feeling that he should get as far away as he possibly could. However, his curiosity got the best of him and he pulled the handle.

What he and his wife discovered made their jaws drop to the floor.

Jack and Melissa moved into their new home a few months after getting married. Looking to spend the rest of their lives together, they’d hunted down a beautiful two-bedroom fixer-upper house in Houston, Texas.

The young couple spent their first year turning the house into their dream home. Everything was going according to plan until they got to fixing the kitchen.

Jack and Melissa’s house was more than half a century old. Despite its age, the house was among the prettiest in their neighborhood. Its previous owners had done a remarkable job keeping it in good shape.

The fixes Jack and Melissa did on the house were necessary ones. For one, they wanted to make their home baby-friendly, as they were expecting their firstborn soon. They had no clue how much the renovation would impact their lives.

Jack spent a better part of his teenage and early adult years as a handyman. As such, he did most of the renovations by himself, which Melissa told him was very cute.

A year had passed, and the rest of the house was as beautiful as Jack and Melissa envisioned when they moved in. If the kitchen’s renovation mirrored the other rooms, the couple would have the home of their dreams.

The Cabinet

Jack took his mallet and set to caving in the kitchen parts they didn’t need. He redid the tiles, cupboards, counters, and island.

Standing firmly against the wall was a broken antique mahogany cabinet. It’d been among the items that made Jack and Melissa fall in love with this house. Jack couldn’t destroy it. He dragged it away from the wall to figure out how to fix it. Then he saw what was hiding behind it.
