Tinted windows are all well and good but...
my remote gadget for the garage door won't work, I have to get out of the car to point it.This was not why I got a remote door. Oh well :(

If your battery is OK then check your aerial wire on the door receiver is on show and not tucked away or missing. My garage doors and gates open from 50ft without a problem and that can be when I press the remote in my pocket. |

Gates eh! a bit posh. I would love remote gates, but our drive is 75 metres long, and we got quoted over £1,000 just for the electric to be put up the drive :eek: |

Do you think what we've been quoted is reasonable then?
The gates are not a problem as my brother is a farrier/blacksmith and can make anything. :) |

The gates are not a problem as my brother is a farrier/blacksmith and can make anything. :) If everything is left "good" then that's only the going rate. The cable used is dear stuff. I paid that amount 8 years ago to run power to my ponds and most of that was materials as the channels were prepared beforehand. My gates were cheaper to power (but only just) because I bought the gates nearer my house, in effect having a driveway to my gates then a driveway to my house. |
Thanks Spoon :)

Don't panic, your body will be glad of the exercise.... :p |

Can't you just wind the window and poke your arm out...it involves some effort mind! :p:D

Can't be bothered BOB.T, after all that work at the gym, unclebuck, its just too much effort to open the window and stick my arm out. :lol1: Cheeky lot :D I was attempting a serious thread. :D
Hi N, hows you :D |
Well, this should almost be in DIY ;)
I just recently bought 40m of armoured electric cable @ £4 per m + VAT - so £200. 75m is nearly twice that to start with. Add labour to dig holes (2 men @ £100 per day? for 2 days?) & you're nearly there... |
