I never did get around to making my own rail extension but was happy to find that a Liftmaster extension kit fits the Craftsman opener just fine for half the price of Craftsman. While looking at Liftmaster, I also found that I could have ordered repair parts for my broken Craftsman openers! Oh...

DDawg, Do you have any more information on the brand and model of your friend's biometric lock? I tried the keypad garage door outside remotes and the family didn't like them as well as my recently installed biometric garage door outside remotes. Only time will tell if the garage door...

That is certainly true with Snap-On. I made the mistake of buying Snap-On when we had a good dealer locally. Then a new guy took over and refused to honor the Snap-On warrenty for home mechanics. Thankfully I have a cousin who is a Professional mechanic and Snap-On gladly warranties the same...

I have also heard this advice but have no idea if it really works. However, if stickers and signs do work, wouldn't a fairly inexpensive security system further reinforce the deterance factor for amatuer burglers? I Googled diy security systems and found www.homesecuritystore.com and...

Yes, the sprocket is shearing off at the top. However, the openers lasted 8 & 9 years so was pretty close to the 10 years you mentioned. In both cases, the chains had not been tightened for years and the doors balanced but the plastic bushing / shim / lubricant / spacer had worn thin on the...

I am just curious what you asked for? When I called I asked about the President's Day sale and the lady I spoke with was not aware of the sale. She did offer a GJ Forum discount but it was RaceDeck was still considerably higher than MotoFloor. Thank You, DamMan

Thank you all. I will try to find time away from work to call RaceDeck on President's Day. I have checked the epoxy price on Behr at Home Depot and my wife definitely wants to go epoxy because of cost. I think tire chains are probably the most damaging to my floor in winter. DamMan

I found the garage journal while researching garage flooring options. So far it looks like tile will be much easier than epoxy, especially since I am going to attempt the project in Winter and really don't like leaving my vehicles outside. My current untreated concrete floor does have damage...
