It smells like medicine right now — I wonder what the previous owner used it for — but I assume with enough airing and maybe some hot water (or perhaps alcohol?) it will clean up just fine…
Ordered, looking forward to the read.

I happen to be drinking some hot tea when I saw your blog on that side promote thing. Great blog. Glad I saw it. Take care and God Bless.
