picture of locked safe

moved in, as far as we knew the combo was lost.

house built in 1890s, old farmhouse

lived with it for 2 years, then as moving out felt pressure to give it a go

thought of different ways to try and automate it, read about painstaking safe
cracking

thought about having a 'safe cracking' party but cost was high (300-400+) and
recommendations online were that there are very few locksmiths that can do it
these days

then suddenly, this caught my eye

TODO add fainter version

the writing was very faint - I carefully removed it from the wall and was able
to read it under the right lighting conditions, mostly.
