Met Mom for lunch today. She said the garage door
didn't act right. I went,looked, after lunch. Door goes up. Only goes down a ways and goes right back up. I fussed with the safety sensors for a while. Finally noticed the owners manual tucked in behind the roller channels, behind the BX light wire. Spent some time reading the furnished manual (RTFM). Find out that I need to clean the connections, and reposition the sensor. The red light is not on, nor blinking. I pulled the contacts plugs out, and put back. Light starts blinking. Some adjustment and light is on steady. Try the button, the door goes all the way down. While on scene, I spray lubed the actuator screw, and the rollers at the sides. Thanks to all who helped with this, advice over the years. Thanks to my Dad, who tucked the manual in where I could find it. And taught me to exercise electrical connectors. -- .. Christopher A.

I see your sentence uses the word "I" as 9.5% of its words. That must mean something to the both of you. |

Yes you were or you have gone through a personality change. You were a self centered snot, and didn't offer your impossible to find 100 watt bulbs to the list. Nope, as I already stated , you can get them on eBay for *less* than what I paid. I still have various incandescent bulbs left, if you are afraid to use eBay I would have gladly sent them to you (for postage) but I don't do favors for rude guys. |

I am reposing my 8-22 notice ________ LOL I bet a bought a 20 year supply of those 100 watt incandescent bulbs because I really liked those "Reveal" type. Then decided to go CFL and full spectrum fluorescent. Think I will put them on Craig's list and get rid of them _________ Since it was on a thread you were talking on, you would have seen it, and would have asked for them if you wanted them... Something radically has changed with your personality within the past few days...Time for a med check I'd say... That is not meant as a snide remark but a genuine response to something that does not seem right. |
