Out of curiosity, why do you prefer the overhead door over the side-hinge? We should be able to get one - it's an 8'x8' door which I believe is one of their standard sizes. Ah, interesting idea. Hadn't considered that. It's all cinder block with some windows. Haha, living up to its name :lol:

Good call. Roof is new, but windows are old and I don't know anything about the drainage or caulking. I'll add this to my list of things to inspect. That was actually the first thing I considered. I love the idea of clear glass roll up door for exactly the reasons you stated. The main...
