Years ago when my husband was gone aerial firefighting for at least half of every year I found myself needing a gate.
Because of his job I was totally responsible for the home front for long periods of time
Even though a fancy electric gate would have been ideal it didn't fit in my budget so I improvised.
I installed a cattle gate with a remote.
It wasn't pretty but served the purpose until this morning.
My husband decided to move his truck to make room for the mobile groomer.
He took out my gate in the process.
We are all sad but fixing the damage is a priority.
I am sure these gates are still available.
Grandkids are coming to the rescue because I'm not strong enough to wrestle this kind of weight anymore.
The good news is that the post is still solid and it's not raining today.
It is always something.
