I guess we’ll call this a Colorado fix. You got a broken lock? Get you a stump!

Looks like the “original” wooden lock….lol
Great to live in such an innovative state.
Completely interesting place Mike. I don’t know how you manage to find them! Are those wires I see? Like did this place have electricity? And is that a dryer vent?
This is something I found this Spring but looking at it closely (as you do) I do see some sort of crude wiring but I don’t think that hole is a dryer vent as it is too high up and I doubt dryers were part of the scene when this place was built. But honestly, I don’t know.
Of course I have to look at your work closely, there’s often mysteries to be solved.
And what of the little sign above the door? It looks like it, at one time, said something ending in ‘Lives Here’. Maybe ‘Farmer Lives Here’? Hard to tell….
I can only make out the “lives here” part so the rest could have said anything including ‘the devil lives here.’
And I thought that was the vent in question but now I see there is a low vent and yes that does look like a dyer vent. wtf.
See Mike?? Mysteries!!
Now that is what I call a door stop!
That door isn’t going anywhere!
The door isn’t going anywhere, and neither is anyone inside. The mystery on the vent and wiring has me stumped.
Stumped! And I am as dumb as a doorknob.
I might give this a try for my garden shed!
Nice picture!

Thanks Wendy…..I have made arrangements for this building to be shipped to you. It will be there for Xmas.
Don’t bother with gift wrap – it looks great as is!
Like the way you choose things and make photo’s of it.
Thank you very much Marylou.
lol! We do that here in Ohio, too. But you make it look good.
I finds it, I shoots it. Yes’em, and I’ll thank you kindly.
Absolutely breathtaking. You do wonderful work and I look forward to following it. Thank you so much for the like.

On the money Mike! One very nice B&W. Great capture!
Thanks bro…
You are very welcome!
it’s very creepy. i know someone is in there. nice shot.
I’m pulling from my spring and summer archives now. Thanks.
O.K., then they are dead for sure!
There were a lot of bees there…..they hibernate, yes?
I don’t know if they hibernate, good question. Will have to google that one.
Traveling through rural North Carolina I see a lot of door stumping. Personally, I’ve never come across a stump salesperson, but it appears they’re good at what they do. Great shot.
HA! Thanks hutch.
Very good eye.
Kind of a hard to go inside and pull the stump in place to keep the door closed.
Maybe it has a cord attached which, with great heft, is pulled through a hole in the door allowing the stump to be lifted and re-leaned upon entry
That stump-lock is universal ingenuity, seen it everywhere
Whew! That makes me feel better about living in Colorado
