I went outside for a smoke with the dog and locked myself out. The house had an old detached garage. My grandmother had a detached garage too. My grandmother kept the key to her house on a nail about 3 feet into the garage on the west side wall. I walked into the garage I was housesitting. I felt along the west wall. 6 feet in I found a key on a nail. It opened the door.

I told the owner after she got back. She had no idea there was a key in the garage.

What a relief when the key worked.
