Finished wiring up the new OH Door openers. Now I just need to program them into my truck and the wifes car.

Patched some concrete that was popping in the house garage. Father-in-law was a concrete man for years, so he lead the charge on this. My boys helped out too... in their PJs. When chipping the popped concrete out, we found the rebar was pulled really high in the slab, so once the rebar rusted...

Thanks guys for the feedback. All these responses are confirming my initial thoughts of placing next to the man door. Also, I added a pic of the shop in the first post for reference.

Thanks guys. Man door is roughly 3ft from the wall the OH doors are on. I was leaning towards next to the man door.

I just had openers installed on my shop garage doors, WOO-HOO! I went with the Medium Duty Commercial Liftmaster MJ5011. My question is, where does everyone like to mount their wall operator stations? I have seen next to the overhead door, directly below the opener and also next to the...

Prepped and painted the interior of one of the garage entry doors. I had done the outside previously, so this leaves only the house to garage door needing paint. I also prepped the outside of the house to garage door, but ran out of paint.

Pulled the camper out from its winter hibernation in the shop.

Spent a decent amount of time in the shop this weekend. Got the lights I put up last weekend tied in to the panel and functioning. Replaced the damaged sheet of roof steel with help from my Father-in-law. On Sunday I replaced the suspension on our camper. New springs, wetbolt kit, and Dexter...

Switched the mower from winter mode to summer mode - pulled the snowblower, rear weight, and chains off and mounted up the mower deck.

Got 3 more lights hung up and wired in the shop. Just need to complete the PowPak (Lutron Pico switchs) and panel tie ins. 9 lights down, 5 more to go.

Wired a light into the attic above the garage. Now I don't have to take a flashlight up when changing out seasonal yard decorations.

On Friday, I had just walked into the house garage after being in the shop when I heard a terrible crashing sound of wood on steel. Walk back to the shop to find a tree tipped over onto the roof. Go inside the shop to see daylight peeking through the roof...Great, now I need to to patch it...

My drive is ~250ft long and asphalt/concrete except in front of the new shop. I plowed the drive for a few years after a first moved in, I enjoyed it, but it was a pain to maneuver the truck and took longer than it should have. Then I bought a new truck and sold the old, so no more plow. I...

Buddy in college parked his dirt bike in the living room of his house over the winter. He was known to be found sitting on it making dirt bike noises with his mouth when it was really cold out. Every once in a while he would even start it up.

Got 3 more lights installed in the shop. My boys also helped me make a cover up for my new Camp Chef griddle. It started out life as a trailer fender that we were scrapping at work. Need to add a couple handles and some touch-up paint. Its not perfect, but good enough for what it is for.
