Looks like they were installed during the build to keep the walls square to each other. With the roof on and the sheeting on the roof rafters I would not hesitate to cut the diagonals out of there.

When live gives you lemons, make lemonade

My vote is for white steel panels. Many reasons. Weight, no finishing, can order any length. Highly reflective.

There is a faster way to trim them then using a miter saw. Lay 20 of them or so onto your garage floor with the one end laying on top of a perpendicular 2x4 several inches back from the ends of the 2 x 4‘s you’re cutting. Snap a string line at your desired length across all 20 studs. Then using...

If you set on metal then disregard this. But what I did was fasten 4x4s to your studs. Sitting rt beside them. I then used 3/4” black iron pipe for my horizontals. I marked my 4x4s at the height I wanted my horizontals and drilled 3/4” holes with a spade bit. This makes your horizontals...

Agree on the silicone. It seems that latex is just not as good with constant water contact.

Hey, whatever works.

Tuff to move the plate just a small amount unless you glue and plug the old screw holes. I have fixed a ton of doors like yours by using my dremel grinder with a grinding wheel. Just grind open the hole a bit.

Geez, I keep forgetting to come pick it up. Pm me your address again. My dog ate the paper I had it on. ������

Go buy a stick of 1/8'' x 1 1/2'' x 1 1/2''angle iron and drill it to attach to your door

Sad story and plenty tuff I’m sure what you’ve gone through. Feel for ya and praying the best for ya as you got through the demo stuff and now able to start stepping forward. Did they ever determine the cause of your fire.

Do it rt the first time. Even heated, it’ll help I cold temps with the ground heat. Plus down the road you might consider a heating source

Thanks for helping out a friend in need. Glad it was a labor only fix and I’m sure she’s thrilled as pie. Great job

You’re dealing with the cheapest of all garage door. Without insulation and inside steel you have just some thin steel there. Instead of using oversized tappers I would use short #12 or possibly 1/4” x 20 through bolts. Best this would be for a car to back through that door and get a nice...

Build out the wood facia board to clear the bottom edge of the shingles. Then run 2x4 pieces up to the ceiling joist. Much like short studs. Then cover with 1/2'' plywood, running horizontally Paint then **** your metal roofing up to the plywood

My set up looks very close to yours. I made a trap door that covers the opening at the top. Probably 4’ wide, 11 or 12’ long. It is heavy but made a nice counter weight to balance the door to where it doesn’t require much effort to lift it. Then last year I got a 120v hoist from harbor freight...

Be nice if your workbench is for sewing

To cure the unrolling problem, flatten down the roll to make the tube oblong. Doesn’t unroll on its own

You got yourself one heck of a building there guy. Enjoy

Install one of these. Let’s water go down but not back up.
