Garage progress
I called no less than five different garage door contractors, and had only three come out to take measurements, and of those three that came out, only got a quote from ONE after calling them once every two weeks as I didn't hear back from them because they were "busy." With each contractor, I let them know that I was ready to do the project now with money in hand, but even getting a quote was an ordeal. But yesterday they raised my garage door as high as possible, and installed a jackshaft garage door opener. So after many months of persistence after getting the ceiling work done, my garage door is lifted which means there is now room for....a LIFT! Almost there.....

Jealousy sets in.

Nice shots, I need to replace the wood door with my garage, and i have a vaulted cieling like you. I think ill be going the raised route too.. Now just to figure out if the garage door opener will work on it.
Looks like a lift is going to be a tight fit... Post up what you order, and what size everything ends up. |
You didn't do this yourself why? Looks like a large erector set... i.e. my niece-in-law could have done that.
But hey if you're baller enough to pay some day laborers to do it, more power to ya. Horray! Looks great!! I wish I could fit a lift in my garage too!!! |

Oh, and that black box to the right of the finished door is a jackshaft garage door opener that would probably fit for you. Rather than a traditional garage door opener, it uses a very short bike chain attached to the roller of the garage door and lifts/closes from the side. Google "Liftmaster 3800" for more details. It should pretty much fit almost anywhere.

I know it looks really simple, but it took two guys from a 30+ year old garage door company, over 6 hours to complete, and they didn't even stop to take a break once, even to pee. I figure if it took the "pros" 12 man-hours to complete, it would have probably taken me at least double that, and then some, so worth every penny. It has nothing to do with being baller. |
Eh I'm just jealous. I know you shouldn't mess around with garage door springs, especially the coil/torsion type it looks like they used on your new door.
It looks baller, Baller. |
