I'd like to have two push buttons, one that puts them all the way down with a quick push and another that retracts them all the way up with another push. I should build a circuit for that... Right now, I have to hold two toogle switches up for 12 seconds to put them down, and hold the same two toggle switches down for 12 seconds to retract them.
