Good points! Since the garage used to be a bedroom, I'll bet that's when the vent was added - and it was up to code then (I hope). I'll check into that. I do need to change the door to the rest of the house - wanting to do a paned glass door for visibility between the two spaces. I am...

Thanks!

You are correct - I moved in around the middle of September of '13. So far, all the neighbors are cool. :)

Doesn't everyone do burnouts in their garage? lol... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200881716826844&set=vb.1282467317&type=3&theater

Okay, this is totally awesome! I'm not a Yamaha guy, but I love the color scheme!!! This would look perfect in my backyard garage...

lol nope - they were installed in the 80s, so they were the appropriate hideous vinyl.

Thanks! There's only a small area above where the garage door was enclosed that isn't tiled, but I have an idea for installing a couple of 45 degree fluorescent fixtures in that area, and painting it different from the rest of the garage.

Thanks WarrenJ!

View of the new door:

Door open for the first time since the mid-1980s...

I purchased a new door from Overhead Door in Gulfport, MS and had them install it: Yeah, I probably could have gone cheaper, but I was being impatient...

Well, the day the door came, I got some advice on how to get the old door down: nail the top of the door in, and disassemble it from the bottom. Well, it didn't quite work out that way... As soon as I tried to get the bottom section off, the whole thing came crashing down unceremoniously...

So about that carpet... What the heck? Tile under the carpet? Yeah, that was a pain getting up. I got what I could with the floor scraper, then I was down to putty knife/chisel and hammer. Only a couple busted knuckles involved. Saved as much of the wood as I could. The old door...

First step was to expose the old door. Let the demolition begin.

Hey all, just thought I'd start a thread on here - won't be as awesome or as fast-moving as some, but it's mine, and I'm making the best of it. I'm totally open to ideas and suggestions, since I'm sorely lacking experience in the garage-building arena! It had the original 7-section...
