Stable Gate at Lucies Farm1095 زيارةLooking from the latch end towards the motor. This motor, installed in early 2005 to replace an earlier motor, is mounted on a separate, metal gate post, and it opens and closes the gate (or at least it did, before it was broken by the windstorm) using the metal arm.

The Truckman on Crookbarrow Road1089 زيارةWe had to abandon the Truckman here on the Friday night of the great rainstorm of 2007. We then had all sorts of problems with MMA, the insurance company that we pay for rescue/recovery services. I spent an hour in the Truckman, in the pouring rain, waiting for MMA to answer their 24/7 help line. They never did.

Latch on Stable Gate1087 زيارةThis Came electronic latch was installed by Automation Gates in early 2005. The stable gate is exposed to direct wind, and the installers indicated that the wind on the gate was breaking the arm that connected the gate with the motor. At the same time, the motor was replaced with a different --- and presumably better --- motor. The latch meant that when the gate closed it would be supported, against the wind, on both ends. But the latch didn't always engage --- usually because of the wind.

The Compost Heap and Kissing Gate1081 زيارةThis is in the corner of the farm, along a public footpath that runs on our property. As it's now sunny we're removing the accumulation of compost and using it to fill holes and valleys on our various fields.

Close-Up of Damage to Truckman1073 زيارةThe right rear side of the Truckman, showing the damage to the vehicle and tyre. I'm told that the "springs" are damaged --- I didn't even know cars had "springs." This was photographed on the transporter, just as the Truckman was beginning its last journey . . .
