Water Proof your controllers
« on: December 01, 2011, 05:15:27 PM »
Word of warning about these enclosures. They are NOT water proof.

Last year we had a lot of rain and flood  and most of us in this area had failed shows due to water and electricity mixing together. Who would have thought that would be a problem.
Today I had a surprise storm come thru  and didn't have my trusty garbage bag over them and Yes they were wet inside. luckily with a blast of hot air and I was able to perform the rescue before the wife busted me with her hair dryer.
