    Missing parts needed for (farm) metal gate

    Sounds good. Will there be foundations and will the drum of concrete be connected to these foundations (ie rebar?) Asking as the levereage of a 12' gate can move a lot of weight. It is likely that your gate will easily move a free standing 45gallon drum of concrete.

    Manrose timer fan circuit diagram?

For me it was just the smaller capacitor (47uF, 16V, electrolytic) that was a fault...

    Leftover socket

    Terminate the wires and put a blank socket cover on it. Do not fill, cover or hide it. That way if you need the socket in the future you could always get a different electrician to reactivate it. https://www.google.com/search?q=blank+socket+cover
