Garage
Yet most of us seem to work on days that end with a Y.

The old outside key pad for my garage door opener became rather hit and miss, and only worked on occasions. So I ordered an exact replacement. I could not get it to work at all. I like to think I am reasonably intelligent, and when forced can understand instructions. I followed the instructions step by step until I could go through the steps like a pro after a half dozen tries. I admitted defeat, and called the guy that installed the new opener.

He came over just a few minutes ago, and tried once, and then said oh, yea and walked over the opener on the wall that we use to open or close the door as we go into the kitchen. Just lift a flap, and press the learn button twice and then Wham! Bam! Thank You Ma'am! it works fine.

No where at all in the instructions does it ever talk about that step in the instructions. And the big yellow button on the opener is just not needed at all.

I have the step by step instruction written down in my phone's notes. My "backup" brain.
