I think I know the house. Pulled up there to do the site visit only to realise was the wrong house :oops:

I think it has a small purple building side the road before you.

Small road after with a house being constructed at the end of it. Guy in there drives a red b14 and works for Ramco.

Did work recently for a guy a little up the road, drives a black ford ranger. Real cool solider.

Looking for this as well.

Mr. Rampersad was recommended here previously.

The going price persons are charging $8-$12k.
Also what I realise is that alot of designers are trying to palm off existing designs they did and not do a design based on their clients concept.

Also be advised that the age of expecting your designer to "help" your application speed through town and country is gone. The applications pass through so many different hands now, that it may be ridiculously expensive to grease them all.

I have no problem with the reuse of designs. I can understand, you must start somewhere and customise to the needs of the client.

Has anyone used composite?

My architect has recommended it for a couple applications - wondering what the prices and appearance are like...

your kitchen sink should have a trap below, check and see
If not we can post a pic later

Well i eventually got around to installing the traps. Did it myself and it works. No more smells.

If the trap ever dries out from the drain not being used, you will get the smells back. You can prevent water in the trap from evaporating much, much longer by adding a couple of teaspoons of vegetable oil to the drain.

Good luck.

Can anyone recommend someone to repair an electric gate. Issue with it not fully opening .

carluva · Postby **carluva** » February 8th, 2019, 7:23 pm

What kind of gate? Sliding? Swing? What brand or motor?

stang · Postby **stang** » February 11th, 2019, 11:23 am

Its a sliding gate with an SEA motor.

carluva · Postby **carluva** » February 12th, 2019, 2:12 pm

This could be caused due to one of several causes.

For example, it could be a short in a wire. I have a TAU gate and some years ago, I noticed that whenever it was raining, the gate wold randomly open and close. I would have to kill the main breaker to the gate to stop that from happening. After a few times of this happening, I opened the electrical box adjacent to the gate motor and turned out that water was running down the wall, leaking into the 4" x 4" can and into the connector that joins the wire from the momentary switch in the house to the wire to the motor. The screw connector was upside down, so water was entering and making causing a short which the gate was seeing as an open and close signal from the momentary switch inside. The fix - make over the connection, leave the screw connectors facing up and silicone seal the cover to the can. Problem never surfaced since and that was more than 5 years ago. In your case, there could be a wire short somewhere.

There could be some other reasons such as dip switch changes or limit stops having shifted. But I am assuming that all was working fine and then the problem surfaced, then maybe it could be a fault on the control board or the wiring to the same.

If you are a DIY type and have some degree of technical knowhow, download the manual from the net and try to troubleshoot yourself. You'd be surprised how easy this will be with a small screwdriver and a basic multimeter, plus, you will save some money for a callout. If you must, call back the person who installed the gate or reach out to an SEA distributor... I just did a google search and found a few, (although I would not recommend one of them - this particular one has really bad customer service and the people there have bad manners and attitudes).

Can anyone tell me or point me in the direction, what can be done about vacant land next to me that is not maintained? I've lived there 4 years and never met any owner nor anyone knows who owns it. I have to cut the entire lot (50'x100') as its a fire hazard. I live downwind and can feel the heat even a lot away. I've planted some ornamental tress on it and that's it, people drive by and throw their garbage and I have to clean it up. Even a dog owner a street away walks his dogs next to me to crap, told him about him but he couldn't care less.
Complained to the councilor and no help
