There is a house near us that has a driveway that has become overgrown. Years ago I wondered why they kept parking one of their cars at the end of the driveway. The car can get up the driveway but a large truck aka fire engine, ambulance or the all important bottle water truck cannot. :confused2:
One morning I saw why they park the car at the end of the driveway. The bottle water truck could not or would not go up the driveway. So they leave their car near the road so the bottled water can be put in the trunk so they can easily get the jugs to the house. I think they leave the car open so the truck driver can put the jugs in the car. :confused2:
Our county requires new construction to have the house numbers clearly marked. Which we had to do on the gate on the road since one cannot see our house from the road. Much less from the gate in the road.
We would like to put up a gate operator but it never gets high on the priority list. The gate has to stay in place because of all of the traffic and trash we get when the gate is open. No gate would be even worse. Thankfully we never had to call an ambulance to the house. But if we do we will let dispatch know the combination, they can cut the chain or someone can open the gate. A gate operator would be nice but it seems TBNers have not had good luck with the affordable models. And our wood gate posts do move with the seasons so I am not sure how well the operator would work throughout the year. There also is no power by the gate so that requires a solar cell and battery which is even more money I don't want to spend.
So we keep the current gate operator. The Wife. :thumbsup: The gate operator was not happy yesterday when we stopped at the gate, I pointed my finger at her and went buzz buzz pretending to push the button on a gate key fob. :laughing:
The gate operator did a great job. Not cheap though.
:laughing::thumbsup:Later,
