These are great ideas, the first one looks the easiest. Do you have photos of your setup?

only happens when i press the clicker or wall switch, never happens on its own.

i'm going to post more pics of the yard and side.

I changed the limit switches with no success. I am now considering the sensors. I did an experiment with them unplugged and the door will only go down or up with the switch held down, this must be a safety feature. Once I plugged the sensors back in the garage opened and closed perfectly. I...

haha! I tried this, no one seemed interested. it's a huge maple.

not at all! I'm trying to picture this. So the front garage door would be lower than the rear garage door or same height and build a ramp inside the garage going up to the yard?

I think it's the limit switch, the sensors, there seems to be some rust and corrosion on the. The sensors light are steady and strong.

Yes, you are correct the den is on the backyard level, good eye! I like the idea of pushing it back so I don't have to rewire the main line. The the vent pipe is no longer used as the new system has pipes going upto the roof. I see a big issue now with the rear door. I would have to excavate...

I have a screw drive genie pro 88. The door keeps going up and down multiple times and with a slight push then the door comes down. Nothing is obstructing the sensors and the light on the sensor is stable. I've emailed Genie to get the owners manual, maybe they need some adjustment somewhere...

The architect suggested moving the laundry upstairs but that would be a big ordeal, I would have to create another landing and rooms. Removing the wall would give me alot of clearance, and my cars are small, '72 240z and '72 GTV. The driveway slopes down a good amount and I have a well in front...

Hi, currently have a split level house with a one car garage. I don't have a basement but a crawl space. I am tossing around a few ideas in my head. The easiest option would be to put the garage in the yard but that would ruin the space in the yard. The next would be to build to the left but I...

Thank you!

any updates to this, fed up with Craftsman right about now.
