    Airplane factory / shop build

    That was me. Parked at the end of row right next to some pavilions. I actually sold it at the show to a guy from Chicago. Ended up delivering it 4 months later. I miss it every day.

    Garage Door Opening is too Small How to Enlarge

    Im have tried to do some research on garage doors but have come up empty, does anyone know if garage door panels come in different heights or are they all the same? Would it be possible to get just a single panel of the same design but 6-8 inches taller than the rest?

    Garage Door Opening is too Small How to Enlarge

    We just got into our new home with a perfect 2 car garage 24X28 detached. Only issue is that the physical opening is not tall enough for my Truck to fit. We are in Fairbanks AK so this will be a requirement to be able to get it in the garage before the winter hits. What is going to be the...
