New Garage Door

We've needed to replace our heavy solid-wood vehicle door since we moved in almost seven (7) years ago. The automatic door opener crapped out a couple of years ago and since then it has been manual operation only. Finally I could stand in no more!


We had to get up early on install day because I needed to get the mustang out of the garage....and it wasn't running at the time. I know from experience that I can't push the car up the hill, so I enlisted Amy Sheep and between us we used the RAV4 and a thick rope to tow the mustang out to the street, and then rolled in behind the truck. The new door comes flat packed on a big trailer:


First step is to move the new parts into the now empty garage. Then the old door and all the rails were removed and loaded onto the trailer. 


After that I left it to my installer and he did a fantastic job:


The automatic door opener is tucked into the corner of the garage, so there is no central chain or any of that nonsense to bang yer 'ead on.
