Fixed gate!

jackI fixed our side gate! Well, sort of. I'd always been annoyed the latch didn't quite close, so you had to close the bolt to keep it from blowing open, which made it hard to open from the garden side. And I just couldn't bend it back into place.
But then after some thought, I decided when it was first fitted it must have worked, and I couldn't see how it could have changed much, and realised the answer was: the gate sticks a little, but give it a hard shove when it was closed, it closes completely against the jam, and the latch falls into place perfectly.
Oops :) But progress :)
