The hole in the stair wall has a scraper for removing mud from one's boots, before one proceeded up the stairs iinto the building. Behind the hole is a chute that allowed the mud to fall into a rain-gutter.
I had the good sense to seal the end of the metal tube, as snow and water would surely be forced inside during use.
I cut out a square of mild steel that just fit inside the end, then tacked on a short section of TIG rod to hold it by.
I positioned the small square inside the end of the tube, holding it by the TIG rod, then tacked the plate to the sides of the tube. I then cut off the TIG rod, and began running weld beads on top of the plate to fully seal the end of the tube.
Being something of a "rush job" I didn't take the extra step of smoothing out the plug weld...
This is my overall favorite picture. I love the contrast and lighting, and with the long exposure it really brought out the stars. I would like to get rid of the lens flares though.

To pry prints off the aluminum plate w/ Kapton tape, I bought an Allway Bent scraper for $4 at Home Depot:
www.allwaytools.com/Level1.asp?Material_ID=BS3
I chose it because it was cheap, hefty and made with excellent steel I knew I could sharpen at home. It even came pre-beveled, less work for me!
A little time on my sharpening stone, and I got it sharp enough to cut paper. Slides right under the first layer, and with the bend there's plenty of leverage. It's a much better wedge than a chisel (shallower angle) and also much cheaper.
Hammerstone - "PALEO TOOLS: The kinds of tools used by the Paleoindians can tell us much about their way of life. Most of the tools surviving today are made of stone. Spear points, knives, drills, and scrapers are typical Paleoindian artifacts. They were used for a variety of tasks, including hunting and butchering animals, processing plants, and working raw materials to make other tools. Archaeological sites of the Paleoindians contain mostly chipped stone tools and waste flakes left from the manufacturing process. However it is almost certain that these people made wide use of other raw materials including bone, wood, ivory, and antler. Objects made of these materials do not preserve as well as stone and have likely decayed over the past 10,000 years. Springs, sinkholes and deep river beds offer good conditions for preserving organic materials because of their high mineral content and lack of oxygen. Fragments of bone, wood, and other plant remains will give clues to future archaeologists who research the skills that Paleoindians needed to survive in Ice Age Florida.

"PALEOINDIANS: The earliest people who inhabited North America are called Paleoindians. They came to Florida during the end of the last Ice Age, at least 12,000 years ago. Their way of life lasted for about 2,500 years. Archaeologists have found few Paleoindian sites. If, as it seems likely, these early people lived along the coast of Florida, their settlements have been covered by the rising sea level. Compared to later Florida Indian cultures, Paleoindians lived in small, widely dispersed groups. Their artifacts are often found around outcrops of a flint-like rock called chert. Pieces of chert were chipped, or knapped, to make stone tools. Paleoindian artifacts are also found in springs, sinkholes and rivers that were probably ancient waterholes. These were important sources of fresh water in an otherwise dry landscape.
PALEO TIMELINE: 12,000 B.P. to 9,500 B.P. (Before present) - EARLY PALEO PERIOD: 12,000-10,000 BP - Simpson point on mammoth ivory foreshaft (circa 11,500 BP) - First evidence of people on the Florida peninsula, Paleoindians live a semi-nomadic life, hunt big game like mastadon, climate was drier than today, and sea level is more than 100 feet lower than today. - Bison antiguns skull with embedded spearpoint, Wacissa River (circa 11,000 BP).
LATE PALEO PERIOD: 10,000 to 9500 BP - stone bola weight (circa 10,000 BP) had most big game animals extinct, wetter climate prevails, sea level rises gradually, several new styles of stone points appear, like the side notched bolan point. " ~ Display in the Florida Museum of Natural History.

On doorsteps in Beacon Hill. These were placed here in the 1800's to allow men to scrape the "exhaust" from horses off of their boots before entering their homes.

"Gran parte del marmo estratto viene mantenuto allo stato di blocco non lavorato e inviato direttamente al porto di Marina di Carrara che gestisce tutt'oggi la maggior parte delle spedizioni, soprattutto all'estero. Quasi tutto il resto del marmo estratto viene invece ridotto in lastre di diverso spessore e poi lucidato a fornire materia prima per pannelli, ornamenti, scale, e altri accessori in marmo."
Not sure what this is--the curvature of the top and closeness to the wall suggests something else than a boot scraper.
