Trap Door

Stay away from that trapdoor!

The bathroom in our apartment is a little worse for wear. The ceiling paint is peeling off and regularly falls on us in great white flakes, and between the flaking paint are areas of skungey mould.

As our parents told us, this is what happens when you don't use the exhaust fan in the bathroom!

But this bathroom has no fan - only a little trapdoor high up in the corner.

There are no outside walls in this room, so where on earth does the little door lead?

With great trepidation we prised it open - obviously previous tenants had resisted the urge to get curious.

Well, its a duck! Or maybe a duct.

And along with dust and the like, its full of pipes and old newspaper.

Not really so scary after all. 'They' are talking about putting an actual exhaust fan into the opening - seems like a better idea.
