Here are some pics of my two workbenches that I built with the help of my brother-in-law.

I just wanted to come back a few years later and share my longer-term experience. I have been nothing but impressed with the Midland garage doors years later. They continue to work as well as they did from day one. Aside from routine maintenance, I've only had to adjust the tension on one of...

Insulated? Yes. Cost? I'd have to dig up the info and get back to you. I agree. Still happy as ever, and now I'm finally getting started on wiring this thing up to finish the inside. So far everything for the garage has worked out great and I don't regret doing it as big as I did either.
