Wow, I am exhausted.

However, we now have one gate that goes "beep beep" and opens by itself. I still have two more "doorbell pushes" to wire up on either side of the gate so you don't need to be carrying a remote control around. Then I can fill in the last of the trenches, staple wire and pvc conduit "weed-whacker" guards into position, and voila, the first of three gates is up. We actually only _ need _ two, as the third one encloses a pasture which hasn't been fenced yet. Of course, I'm tempted to put it up anyway, as installing an automatic gate that secures absolutely nothing amuses me in a "Bridge to Nowhere" sort of way.

However, at the pace I've been maintaining, even with "learning," I'll be extremely lucky to get the 2nd gate operating tomorrrow.
