Sliding doors

Despite the large amount of space the cats gained when we moved from the apartment, Pico has never been enjoying being "locked" down on two floors during night.
The choice has been forced on him, because during night, if he sleeps with us, although the doors are opened, he starts to scratch nighttables and random doors because he wants to be accompanied down to eat food.
Since sleep has become pretty limited with the kids arrival, we thought that Pico would survive just fine like that.
Anyway, he has been always frustrated and he had therefore found out that he could open one of our sliding doors to come up during the night.
At first, in order to prevent him to do so, we thought to put a newspaper on the side of the doors.
One morning, though, I forgot about it and when I opened the door, the newspaper got engulfed in the void behind the doors.

After some little time (just three years at least), a little piece of metal which secures the doors to slide and stop in the middle of the door opening, could be unscrewed and the newspaper freed from such miserable destiny.

Door blocker

There is where the door blocker is.
The funny thing is that with this, we found out that there was not only our newspaper disappeared in the black hole behind the sliding doors, but at least from 1958 few items belonging mostly to the Edler family had been vanishing there.
What there is behind the sliding doors
One of my favorite among the findings is definitely the flying ticket to USA from Malmö Bulltofta. Very interesting to see all the stops the plane had to make to reach destination!
Other items have been some medical scientific paper, some paper brochure for Duka, some letter about the great value of Eternit and so on and so forth...

Not everything was in mint conditions. Maybe some mouse had a party?

Yes to Eternit!

All sort of papers ended up there. Also a page from a notebook of Bengt Svensson

The flying ticket to USA
Now, this was just one of the sliding doors. The other one still need to go through the same treatment. Will we find some other archaeological item there?
