I'm sure I won't care what happens to my stuff when I'm gone. Similarly, I've left houses without worrying what people will choose to do with them next. Even children aren't ours to keep for long.

I've got the original front door and internal doors on my house.
I've also got a number of Victorian internal doors free to a good home (from my neighbours and from skips) if you (or anyone) is interested, and don't mind a bit of paint stripping!0 -
