Making it see

Last night I dedicated to getting some stuff done at home. My garage door opener has not been working correctly for several days. The safety electric “eyes” had somehow become misaligned causing the door to be unable to close using a remote control. I was having to go inside, hold down the hard wired switch until it closed and then exit the side garage door.

I first took my measuring tape and laid it on the floor to between the eyes to give me a visual reference. I then loosened the wing nut and did slow changes until the indicator was once again a solid green, indicating a connection was made. I did various successful open/close cycles to test my work, all of them were successful.

I also did some clean up of the new garage door side moldings. I used some caulk to smooth out the nail heads and Goo Gone to clean up some discoloration on the soft rubber part of the moldings. This weekend I just need to paint them and then do caulking along the outside edge to finish the project up.

I did a quick wash of my Tesla, something I don’t get to do as often as I would like. I filled the rest of the evening knocking out minor to do’s. Getting things done always has a therapeutic effect on my brain.
