SAN JOSE, Calif. (CBS) -- A Californa family found a series of hidden messages in the walls of their home as they remodeled.

Alex and Jess Monney are remodeling their bathroom and discovered a message left from the home's previous owners. It read:

"We remodeled this bathroom summer 1995. If you're reading this, that means you're remodeling the bathroom again. What's wrong with the way we did it?!?!?"

"It kind of brought a little bit of wholesome joy during the day because it was really unexpected," Alex Monney said.

The new owners say it's like discovering their home's family tree.

"Bye bye bathroom," Jess Monney wrote when she shared a 'before' picture of the bathroom.

The original owners did their remodeling more than 20 years ago and left behind numerous funny messages and snapshots.

The Monneys said they plan to carry on the tradition and leave a little message for the next owners, hidden behind their latest remodeling work.
