Good call C-H!,
Why is the door left open?.
Is that an escape route?.
Is that connection rated for Outdoors use?.
My guess is that there an extra cord made up.
One other question, what is on the end of the extension cord?.
Same side of the coin though, there wouldn't be a Member amongst us that would depend on a thing like a connection like this.
For a start there is no ground in that cord.
