was backing the car out of the garage the other day and pressed the
remote to open the door, but it must have got stuck going up and started
going down again, because I backed straight into it. (I look down the
side of the car when backing out not the rear view mirror). anyway, as a
result half the door was sticking out of the tracks at 45 degrees and
bowed. a few good kicks and some work with a rubber mallet, and I got it
back in place. fortunately there was only a tiny scratch on the boot of
the car, as i was not driving fast. some scratches on the door posts tho
so I will have to repaint them.

That could have been a lot worse and a lot more expensive to fix! I had
my own little mishap the other day.

We have some carved gypsum artwork thing that is sometimes used to hold
the gate open and it lives along the fence - but I forgot to put it back
after I finished mowing and yep I backed the car over it. The damage a
small dent in the fuel tank which is nothing to worry about and well...
I never did like that artwork anyway :-)

And here, in the Mid North Coast, it's still raining. Well, it was
raining overnight, Sunny at the moment so hopefully only a little late
rain this arvo. It is, after all, the tail end of the wet season here.
Visitors from Melbourne arriving in a week or so, they are flying to the
GC, then hiring a car and driving down. That'll keep us busy for a
couple of days.

We've had no real flooding here throughout the entire wet season. North
and South of here - quite a bit, but nothing much here. A bit of water
over Bray Street, one of our routes into town, for a very short period
of time but that's about it, and we have alternative routes anyway.
Flood mitigation measures, including 4 huge retarding basins, seem to be
doing the trick. I'm told we recently had 150 mm of rain in 2 hours -
that's normally enough to cause significant flooding but - nothing.

I'm a bit surprised that it would start closing again. Mine will open
if it detects a jam while closing, but not the other way around.
Responding to a jam in either direction by reversing is asking for a
situation where it continually moves backwards and forwards, which is
unlikely to be helpful.

Makes me wonder whether it's been connected backwards. That would be
possible with mine, I think. You might want to test that it will really
open if it detects a jam while closing, since failing to do that would
be a safety issue.

There is a test/setting procedure for that. For mine;

They're not scientific instruments, and sometimes suffer from glitches
that see them operate in unexpected ways. I have no idea what kind of
door Felix has, but mine is a B&D Panel Lift that was installed new when
the house was built 10 years ago and it will _sometimes_ operate
incorrectly.

It doesn't do it very often, and mostly when it does play up it opens 12
inches or so and then stops, but it's not unheard of for the things to
occasionally chuck a wobbly.

The simple rule here is to check before you back out and not just assume
the door has opened correctly.

> Makes me wonder whether it's been connected backwards.

The safety mechanism is built into the motor unit itself, making it
highly unlikely that you can connected it any way other than how the
manufacturer intended it to be.

> That would be possible with mine, I think.

From the look of the pics you posted some time ago yours is older than
most people here.

No, they are simple electro-mechanical devices.

They should *never* operate in unexpected ways. If they do, they have a
problem and it needs fixing.

Then it has a fault. Call in someone who has a clue and get it sorted.

Mine has *never* chucked a wobbly and that is exactly what I would
expect from it. It's now 17 years old and gets used multiple times daily.

My simple rule is - open door, then get in car, start car, look out the
rear through the mirrors, then reverse out. Most times the door is open
before I even get into the car.

yes you're right. I had just assumed it started closing again, but who
knows, I may have pressed the remote when I got in the car, then pressed
it again when I started to drive out, thinking I had not pressed it.
it's not unlikely for me to do something silly like that, especially if
I had been a while in the car before I started to drive out.

no it's fine. the installer test that when they fit it.

Easy way to avoid that problem is to reverse into the garage, that way
you can see if the door is fully open when you drive out and don't
reverse in until you make sure the door is fully open.

Servicing is just a matter of relubing where necessary and
testing/checking limits against specs. The latter procedures can be
found in the garage opener manual.

Well, you can test and set the limit switches for one. That too can be
carried out by the owner if technically minded.

Tell the full story Tomas. Here, i'll help.....

... up on the "ridge"? You eek out an existence on a little hill, 35m
above sea level. If you received 3.5 metres of rain in a hurry, then you
may expect to see some damage. You need to look around your little
fiefdom, Tomas... Those below you ended up with your rainfall...

I suspect you're being selective with the truth as usual, Tomas.

And then it started raining.

And forgot to stop.

BOM says Coffs Airport has received, in your "wet season" (how does a
sub-tropical retirement village have a "wet season"? :
Oct 21 338mm
Nov 21 189mm
Dec 21 237mm
Jan 22 196mm
Feb 22 486mm
Mar 22 729mm
Apr 22 195mm

TOTAL 2370mm. *8 fucking feet* of rain in 7 months in a sub tropical old
peoples home.!!!! Coffs average *yearly* is 1660mm. You've had nearly
50% MORE in *seven months*.... And dont forget the fucking wind, the
daily wind... You had a chance to make a name for yourself, Tomas. You
could have built an Ark in your backyard, but it would have sunk.
Because you built it.

Where? On your roof? Or somewhere else?

I76mm at the airport.. end of March.... and hardly unsurprisingly,
300mm+ was recorded approx 1200 metres away from your unit, although
their collection of data times vary with the BOM.

> that's normally enough to cause significant flooding but - nothing.

At your shack. Everything that fell in outback senior cits, simply found
the easiest way to the sea and flooded everything in it's way. Never
mind the rest of the residents and Shopkeepers of Coffs... But because
you didnt receive any damage, fuck everyone else... everyone else is ok.
You're a cunt. But you knew that anyway, right DNA man?

> normally enough to cause significant flooding but - nothing.

....in William Sharp Drive... because it's sitting proud on a pissy
little hill/"ridge". Never mind the rest of the retirement village...

Just another display of Tomas Claseners lies and selfishness...
