the evidence
Remember I said the previous tenant kept birds?

Spilled, caked on birdseed on the internal hinges in the wardrobe (and in the kitchen cabinets too)
Unspeakable grunge that I had to scrape off the floor of the top-of-wardrobe section. I think it was glue that held the cages in place.
Bird droppings everywhere. This one on the bathroom windowsill in the enclosed back porch.
How about my rangehood? Looks nice and clean?
Look inside, down through the grill. More birdseed. How the heck am I supposed to clean that out? The vacuum doesn't reach in there.
One of the many cobwebs I've since swept away.
Plaster dust left in corners and on windowsills.
Thank goodness it's done now.
Just have to sweep the dusty cobwebs off the front porch light.
