What do you do when they fail to open? Anything automated will fail at some point.mik wrote: Fri Apr 17, 2026 2:51 pm In time - get yourself some electric gates. They are teh awesume.

Yeah - we had an encoder failure on a motor, so they freaked out and the motor had to be replaced. You have a key to manually separate the gates from the "foot" that is connected to the motor. Takes seconds.

the former owners have a smart meter for the electricity (I’ve never had one previously) and the numbers flashing up on the screen are already giving me palpitations 
We haven’t the equivalent for gas which is probably a good thing as someone thought it would be a good idea to install an AGA.
I’m trying to stave off the fear that this is all going to be ruinous but I’m going to start getting my kidneys in good shape for donation just in case…
@Mito Man yes we’re in SE London still - what estate agents would probably call Dulwich borders.

I did expect our bills to remain about the same when we moved house - same number of occupants, so surely that follows? But it doesn’t, weirdly

I think I know that street - surely estate agents call it Dulwich Village these days! Nice purchase.GG. wrote: Fri Apr 17, 2026 11:57 pm
