What are the two pipes leading to the fridge?

The figurine is gorgeous.

How wonderful!!! A new gallery to brighten my day.

do you think this house is haunted? very interesting things. are you the one moving the stuff around or does it just appear as though it has been moved? I love this house.

Drawing of gear-wheels

That's some steep stairs.

Also found this apparently at least one kind were invented in 1896 http://www.speedplay.com/index.cfm?fuseacti

I have look pedals on my road bike and mountain bike pedals on my mountain bike. I wouldn't much like having to use toe clips.

from this page; http://www.zefal.com/e...steel-toe-clips.html
French cyclist born on the 22nd of January 1885 in Paris, Eugène Christophe is viewed as the inventor of the toe-clip. In 1925, he sold his invention to Poutrait-Morin (known now as Zéfal), and was the Director of the company until his death in 1970. Since then, Zéfal never stopped selling these legendary Christophe toe-clips. Sold by pair.

The tour de france began in 1903 so they rode it all those years w/o clips! Of course they smoked and drank wine as they rode too. Before it became serious sport.

I was wondering about the bathroom. That would explain the chamber pots. I did not know that toe-clips on bike pedals were that old. Thanks again for another great gallery!

OK, now this is how the spies would send their microfilm.

The wood looks like it was never painted or varnished?

I can stop counting the arts, but this is number 4. Groovy bed.

Elves.

I see another art!! The single suit in the closet looks staged eh?

Motts is correct, and now we know why the house was abruptly abandoned. This is a map of radio and radar waves, disguised to look like a dress pattern. The family were obviously spies ( possibly for the mob, the reds, the CIA, or some other shadowy government agency ). The Bozo the Clown mask in the drawer above is also a dead give-a-way.
