They installed parking meters at the beach - It didn't go well - The people said NO

expanding foam is going to stay stuck on everything forever. Crazy glue would be good too..

@Heavyhand: Yeah... not sure about the internal construction of the machine - given that it's designed for eternal locations, and they cannot have water leaking into it, or with very strong winds, rain being blown into ports and up into the machine... Blocking the externally facing ports is one thing, filling the internal spaces up with foam is another..... It would have to have internal bottom facing condensate drains - unless hermetically sealed.... These machines would have to be designed to be damage resistant too.... It's an interesting issue - perhaps waiting around to see what the service crew do, how they open them and what is inside and where the foam actually got into would be an interesting activity.
