I always have a dual feeling with these types of finds, I love to read and watch you clever explorers finding all the abandonment and usually such lovely things hidden away, but it also makes me so sad, not what you do of course, but for the state of our world...it makes me think that there was a time when these houses were in tact that the thought of anyone spray painting, destroying and just general vandalism would seem as foreign as if faerie were to descend upon them with biscuits and tea lol. I love see into the past this way, in such wonderful posts as yours, but in order to see the past I have to look at the present, dead in the face, with 'monster energy drinks' and spray painted destruction. Ah well, such is the post modern world.

Wonderful post tho, @slobberchops and I have a feelin that list was not for a 'house slave' it was most likely (by the handwriting 80's) just the list of the homeowner to get things done. My home has such things all the time, having to check off what needs doing for the year, ( I wish I had a houseslave to help sometimes haha)
