Loved your story. Guys are hurt enough being proven wrong by a female. Thanks for not making him suffer any more than necessary. My DH was building a garden shed with the same type of latch. Thought I heard someone yelling and went outside to find him trapped inside the "Hoe House" - he named it.
I was cleaning our coop/goat house one day and went into the chicken side to clean. When I was ready to come out, Samantha my hugely fat 150 lb. goat was leaning on the door. I could not push her off. I pushed and strained and she just stood there looking at me like I was weird. It took about 10 minutes of pushing and yelling at her when she finally decided, very nonchalantly I might add, to move on.
