    Sealing the Garage Door

    I wonder if they make that material with various widths of the vinyl edge - if I recall correctly, the vinyl strip on mine is only about 3/4". I would guess that 1.5" would do a better job of sealing the door. -Pete

    Sealing the Garage Door

    Bill- That does help - thank you. It is the part you described - exactly. I think I will just remove what they put up and install new. The pieces they put were with nails, so it makes sense to just start with new rather than trying to preserve what they put up and trying to reuse the nail...

    deal at lowes..

    How many trips to the store are justified to save $20? Why not buy an American made tool that has a warranty? I guess some of us hold on to the hope that if it is repeated enough, folks will get the idea that buying cheap knock-offs hurts our economy. Some of us care about the future of this...

    The economy/cost of living in the US is higher than in China. We can't make products that are price-competitive. It is comparing apples to oranges. See this chart below: Relative labor costs among major auto-producing nations, in dollars per hour (Source: U.S. office of Trade and Economic...
