Awesome! I love it!

Alright! Some more progress!!

This is interesting, I’m following.

Where did you look for the 4x10 osb? I’ve never seen it at Lowes or Home Depot, usually have to get it from a real lumberyard, the kind builders use. Here in S.C. we have 84 Lumber, Builders First Source, Pro-Build and some local places.

The awesomeness continues!

Seems like the vinyl back would have to go. What is your plans for the inside of the pole barn? The spray foam installers would blast a layer over everything and then what? For long term I can't see that foam sticking to the vinyl forever. I know initially it would. I'm really curious as to...

I'm thinking it was some kind of oops and they (builder) rolled with it, as if it was supposed to be that way. By the way I'm joining you Will69. I just sold my condo with the nice garage space below and we are moving to a regular 3 bedroom house with "2" car garage. That's why I have...

Thanks again everyone! I almost hate to admit it but it turned out to be a simple adjustment of the up strength. It was at the lowest possible setting! Of course I didn't check this until after the rails were cleaned and re-lubed and even the springs got adjusted. My son update, he spent 2...

Thanks upndown, I have tried it in manual and it works pretty good. It will close all the way in manual, the trigger finger on top of the screw rail needs adjustment for the door to close 100%. Its set to stop the door just as it barely touches the concrete. The house is an elevated house the...

Thanks again everyone! Crazy day, but I got some pictures, but I didn't have time to mess with the door. model info; adjustments spring adjustments right side left side is missing and perhaps broken? close up

Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm going by her house this afternoon I will check it out. It is a screw drive type. I will get some pictures while I'm there.

A friend of mine has a garage door that sticks when it's cold. I have lubed the daylights out of it with garage door lube, which is what I use on mine and mine works great. Cold here being below 50, when it hits the low 20's later this week it will be really bad. The only thing I can figure is...

Besides your pad fiasco, what's your next step? Are you going to continue with the driveway to that parking pad? You might have mentioned it, as you said something about a culvert and something else. I got tired of reading all the bashing and started skipping through. If I was in your shoes...

I'm a remodeling contractor and I think you're being reasonable. The duct work popping I think is the metal duct expanding though from the hot furnace air going through a cold metal pipe. imho

Have a couple contractors give you a free estimate. I'm a contractor and it happens to me all the time. Sometimes the homeowner calls me back when they have the money together and some never do. How I would come up with a price is by taking some measurements, how long the span will be and take...
