So our brandy new jackmaster garage door opener broke yesterday. Called the company and they said they could have someone out last night. No show, no call. Bullshit. On the bright side, I tested my ability to get into my garage with no power. :lol:

It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

The motor starts to engage, makes an odd whirring noise, then stops. The drive never budges.

Price on those LED floods went down to $11 something. Picked up two to try out in back. Worst case I'll put them out front of they're not bright enough since we never use the front light anyways. Hoping the best for them though. The area we try to illuminate is really too large for a single fixture on the house but maybe these will be brighter than the halogens.

Thanks for the heads up

No prob! I took some pics tonight of the front and side so you can see them (the coach and recessed cans under the porch are all LED as well)

Got this one mostly turned toward the side of the house so as to not blind my neighbors through their windows

That's insanely bright. Are those on motion sensors or on all night?

Yeah fuck outta here with that. I'm all for having some lights on but that brightness all night is excessive.

Good thing you're not my neighbor Tongue :lol:

But I did for real ask all of my neighbors and they are appreciative of the extra lighting on the cul de sac after the car "breakins" (ie people leaving their doors unlocked with keys in the car :? ) Pretty much everyone on our street keeps their lights and floodlights on at night now. Our bedroom has windows in the front and side of the house and with the blinds close I don't notice it at all

All you suburbanites are cute... arguing about lighting and whatnot.

What's next? The line of SUVs is too long at your kid's school drop off? :lol:

No joke, we just had someone on the closed group neighborhood Facebook page complaining about where he could park his commercial truck and trailer, and asking about whether our community could build a lot that is fenced in for RVs and commercial vehicles.

Uh no dude, you moved into a planned community with a HOA....nobody is going to build a storage facility here for your big rig

My next door neighbors are an 84 y/o woman and a 92 y/o woman; I haven't had problems.

Actually, I lied. The 70-something woman across the screen asked if she could pay to replace our newly planted cherry trees because one might block her view of the Olympic Mountains in 10 years. :lol:
