I did some more maintenance on the gates again. This time I removed the old bracket and re-positioned it, change the limit switches and cut away a bit of the fence to allow the motor arm to move a little further in. Well, it seems to have brought it back to where it was before. It's an improvement from the problems I've been having, it is the same as it was prior to that and perhaps in the summer it will be a bit better when the gates and posts dry out. You'd be surprised at just how much the wood swells up and now the gates are bashing into each other again. I've adjusted them and sanded some off to allow them to work properly.
That's one job down but I'm sure there will be others too. The outside doors have rain deflectors over them which need a clean as they are getting moss and algae build up but the wind (gales) of last week have loosened their fixings so once again, I will have to sort that out. It seems never ending to me, there's one thing after the other. It would be nice just to have a quiet time to myself and not have anything go wrong.
