No, I'm not here to complain about my wife's backing into the garage. It's just that sometimes she goes way too deep and hits stuff. You think she'd learn. But she doesn't.
I have been looking at backup sensors that will trigger a red light when she has backed far enough into the garage. Not that she'll pay much attention to it; but I was thinking of getting a hold of some of those garage door safety beams and gluing a reflector on the floor. Both beams would look at that reflector, and when she covers it with her car it will trigger a red light. Yes, the light would stay on all the time she's parked - I don't much care about that. In fact, that could be something I address later. For now I'm wondering if anyone might know if what I propose will work. OR maybe put it near the door so that when she crosses the reflector a light comes on and when she's far enough back it goes off. THAT should be her cue to stop before she crashes into my home built cart yet again.
I'll bang out a drawing of what I'm thinking and post it in a few minutes.
Thanks.
