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

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.

The door isn’t going anywhere, and neither is anyone inside. The mystery on the vent and wiring has me stumped.

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.

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 🙂
