Now why didn't I think of this???

I know there are several brands of garage door openers available, but this is simply ingeneous in its approach. It is simple and effective and works like a champ:

I know why it doesn't work - bribery and threats only work for a limited time.

When I was a kid, I was the t.v. remote, drink fetcher, trash remover / compactor, automatic yard mowing device, paper picker upper, milk and bread delivery mechanism, lawn mower gas getter... Sister was the automatic clean house and laundry machine.

I think CPS will take your kids away if you try that with them now. In my time it wasn't a threat, it was a guaranteed ass whipping if you didn't perform these tasks with a minimum of noise. The bribery was "oh look! Dinner!"

lol. To be fair, my parents took good care of me. I don't think it hurt me any at all.

no kidding Beags - I mowed 10 lawns a week when I was 10 or so - for years, shoveled that many walks in the winter too. I have NEVER had a kid ask to mow or shovel for me in my adult years. Damned shame.

As for the chick in a little black dress opening and closing the garage door - I see the English humor - what we didn't see was the expensive bribery required to make that video happen - I'm guessing that dude payed for the dress and jewelry and likely a real nice dinner too... BEFORE the video was shot.

Likelyhood of that happening at my house is somewhere between hell freezing over and Lohne's buying another Pacifica.

I don't think I could pull that one off either.

Having no garage that's out of the question. And ME can't pull the chain for the shop doors so that is also unlikely. Maybe if I can get Gene to come visit he can crank the tension on the shop doors and the chain pull effort would be reduced - but it still ain't gonna happen.

In England, maybe if you can afford a Beemer chicks will put up with this silliness?
