Damn, I finally got around to fixing my front gate issue. Builder of the house installed a really stupid system. It is very hard to open and close. The mail carrier, god bless her soul, tries to but fails to close the gate properly. The gate then is at the mercy of the winds.

I finally came up with a better solution. Magnets. I installed a pair of very strong magnets and used galvanized steel plate that I attached to the gate itself. The magnets were glued onto a piece of aluminum with JB Weld. It works like a charm. I'm so proud of myself, gulolol. It's the little things in life that make me giddy.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
