The Sun Won't Let Me Lower My Garage Door

Flash hider solution.

My garage is full of hand tools, power tools, woodworking equipment and items that my wife calls "useless crap". Plus I can park both vehicles inside my garage and still be able to do manly woodworking stuff inside.


I just wanted to share

I only have a total of 5 garage spaces.

And no power tools.

Maybe someone has more than one garage. Ever think of that? Hmm? Didja?

Well then you get to park in one garage and keep your stuff in the other!!!!

Wife parks outside

So, you are the 1% of purple rhinos everyone tells me I should hate?

You should hate me regardless of my percentile!

Correct!

Good thing it never snows inside of there!

What did you use for the cone and how did you make it adhere? Epoxy?

25 posts in and no one has suggested blowing up the Sun yet?

It's either that or:

Park in the driveway like everybody else. Garages are for your stuff.

If you decide to remove the damn sensor from the damn door on your damn garage so you can get your damn minivan in it you can't just remove the damn things.


On my installation I was too lazy to work out the necessary jumpers so I just taped the two transceivers together face to face with duct tape, wound up all the wire and tie wrapped the whole mess to the operator up at the ceiling. Or you can do it right and figure out how to jumper it for a neater installation.

That's the rvb solution!

My nephew is a maintenance wizard at the factories where he was worked. I sent a text to him asking if he wants to tackle removing them and still making the system work.

Putting them together face to face and out of the way seems like the simplest and most cost effective solution. I might even be able to manage that task myself.

Just make sure you don't have to use a knife and you'll be fine.

Not mine. Just an idea I thought of and found a picutre to represent my thoughts.

Solution: Don't try and close the garage door when it's sunny.

Solution: Don't try and close the garage door when it's sunny.

Better Solution: Pick up the house and rotate it so the sun doesn't hit the sensors. Problem Solved.

Keep the sensors where they are designed to mount. Switch the light source to the current receiver side and the receiver to the current light source side. As already well noted, the interlock circuit cannot determine where the system is located.

if A car could get in my garage, it would mean I don't live there anymore!

2-car detached garage at my place has her car and mine. Along with some of my "stuff." 1-car attached garage has the washer/dryer, my motorcycle, gun safe, and a lot more of my "stuff." The company truck that I take home sits in the driveway. Am I doing it right?

Not sure how that would help because the sun hits one side in the morning and the other side in the afternoon.

Our garage has tools, misc junk, and my bike. If there's a car in there, it means I'm working on it and probably had to move a bunch of **** to make room.
