Swapped a motor
So the motor in the automatic chicken coop door has been intermittently failing during cool mornings, not firing off to open the door. When the temperatures rise the motor will kick back in so there is something thermally wrong with the motor. The annoying thing is this exact thing happened before and I got a motor under warranty, now this motor is doing the same thing. The replacement motor they sent me definitely seemed used so I just bought a brand new motor this time off Amazon, hoping they have since engineered out whatever issue was causing the cold temp failures.
Installation of the motor went smoothly although I had a chicken audience for most of it which looked and sounded funny on the video I shot. I am hoping unattended chicken door operations can now continue normally for the foreseeable future.
Sean Spicer may be the biggest moron ever appointed the role of press secretary, just saying.
