This is a thread for sharing the events of your day, anything strange happen? anything notable happen? This is the place to share it.
I'll go first,...so it's Saturday today, I got up late this morning, (because it's Saturday), I was getting ready to got outside to do some yard work. I hit the button to open the remote control iron gate, and it wouldn't open, so I look out the kitchen window, and I see the cover for the transmitter box in the middle of the driveway. My first thought is that someone vandalized my gate opener transmitter box, but I can see that the gate is still closed. So I think, why would they climb over my gate just to vandalize my gate opener? Anyway, I walk out side to investigate, and this is what I see,...
Look at the gaping hole in the battery! The battery, apparently exploded sometime during the night. It blew the cover off, blew apart the boxes that house electronics. I have no idea how much damage to the electronics was done. I won't know until I can get someone from the fence company out to look at it, It's going to be costly, I'm pretty sure of that though. It was operational last night at around 7:00pm. I have to go out and unpin the hydraulic ram that opens and closes the gate, as I'm trapped right now. (Gate is locked closed).
