Oh YES, I have heard of that- when we lived in Ct it was THE thing to do if you were trying to sell a home! And you know what, EVERYONE that did it were pleased with the response and offers. Maybe it is because St. Joseph was a carpenter....who can figure? Anyhoo, next time we try to sell our home, (and I wish I'd known about this in the past!!) I am going to get one and bury it asap. I wonder if it aspects "full moon" like planting potatoes? LOL for that thought!
