[Shop-talk] Garage Door Sensor Challenge

[Steven Trovato]

I was thinking about the mirror thing, but I'm 
afraid it starts to turn into a bit of a science 
project.  I have enough problems with the 
occasional spider web or leaf messing things 
up.  I think adding a mirror gives you another 
surface to collect debris.  Steve H, if you are 
in a tinkering mood, then give it a shot.
