Yes, It Did Happen Again

On request, I have included pictures of the now mildly famous gate. The one that keeps falling off.

Yes, it did fall off again yesterday afternoon.

We thought we knew what was causing it to fall but we were WRONG! When Yella came home, it fell off again.

She immediately called our contractor who said he could come up here at 4:30 in the afternoon. The only problem...we would have to go get him and pick up his tools.

Yella got him, they re-set the gate and welded a stop/gate-catcher to the assembly.

NOW, the gate works and--to date--has not fallen again.

As you look at the pictures, the side view shows the drop from the rail that the gate slides on. It is about 4 feet. Enough of a fall to damage the gate.

The gate weighs about 400 pounds. Too much for 2 guys to pick up so the gate has to be pushed, dragged and rolled back into position.

Hopefully, this phase of our lives is over.

You can stop laughing now...
