Okay so I come home from work sick as a dog and exhausted, park my truck outside because there is mulch stacked in the garage (yeah yeah I'll get to it) so my wife can park in the garage. I go in, put my 1911 on the nightstand and lay down with my ipad....zzzzz  Ah and I am young and thin again, roaring across the countryside on my 1981 Suzuki with my sole possessions, two changes of clothes, a Mossberg shotgun and a case of beer, in a dufflebag strapped to the sissy bar, when suddenly I realize in my sleep someone is looming over me "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" [okay it's my wife, huff huff, okay heart is slowing down huff huff] "You know you left the front door unlocked, what if someone had broken in while you were sleeping" "i would have shot them" "Yeah, sure. It took me five tries to wake you up and you squealed again. Anyway the garage door is broken, go down and fix it" So I find this

I'm too lazy to quote it, but my wife and I have this penguin thing... I dig that. (sorry you aren't invited  )
after which I look at your garage door, it looks like mine, it's just up a little bit from mine. (btw I'm a jagoff, I park my truck ouside. (steal it please) the padlock on the door frame is just one of those things. She's pretty trained in the use of it..... (I need to protect my tools and yamaha that isn't in a picture. )
so what happened? some turd slipped through 6" of garage door? No comprende. I could go into a spiel about rods in the window and internal doors haveing a stupid cheap brinks bar on them. (Not getting in here, even if I'm a little off my game without getting my attention.) (free tip for penguin). I'm curious, just incase I didn't think of something.

Quoted: $300 service charge to fix it. $1300 to replace those the doors/tracks. Yeah? That fucker is jammed up pretty good, I was going to push it back up and off the end to get the wheel back on, stood there in my boxers pushing on it for a second and thought 1-I am in my underwear 2-wow this is not budging 3-i'm going back to bed

Shit like that only happens to my garage doors when it is like ten below zero outside. Logically I think the cold weather has something to do with it, but I can't help suspect that the doors are just doing it because that is when I will be most miserable trying to get the damned things unjammed and the frigging lift cables back on the reels.

Ok I'll bite, that right corner looks like a possum got in. What did the construction guy say at midnight? Did he leave the prybar and kitteh cage facing the door again? |

Something similar happened to me one day when my wife tried to close the garage door. A broom fell over into the way of the garage door coming down and knocked it out of its track. It was something that I could fix and didn't cost me any money. What has cost me money fixing my garage door was my wife backing into the door or when a spring broke.
Last summer I bought the parts to replace the guts on my garage door motor and it cost me less than $30 to replace the gear that sheared off and the operating gears inside. Quoted:
