    Finally did it... Got a US General 44" Roller, but...

    I had no idea there were gen1 and gen2 versions until a few weeks ago. I've had a red 44" box for several years. I finally decided to get a side cabinet for it (the one that's all drawers). When I got it home and unboxed, it was deeper than my box. That's when I learned about the different...

    Moving the HF Scissor car lift to another home.

    I have a Bendpak md-6xp. In 2010, we sold our house in 3 weeks and our new house wouldn't be ready until June. We moved most of our stuff into storage and only took the necessitates to an apartment. One of those stored things was the lift. I had movers move the bulk of our stuff, and I had them...

    Signed the papers. 28X64x10

    I've built both of my houses, and at the slab stage I thought - wow this really isn't as big as I thought it would be. Then the walls start going up and it really does feel bigger.

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Officially my son's dog, but he loved to be in the garage with me. We had to put him down last month. One small comfort is that his niece will be bred this summer, and we will get one of the puppies.

    Liftmaster 3800 is reversing

    Mine is very susceptible to cable issues. I've had the issue you describe several times. Had to manually close the door. A couple of times the cables come off while doing this. The last time it did this, I said screw it and learned to fix it myself. I was tired of paying 150 bucks a pop to have...

    A shortage of springs now

    Like most things, might be regional. I had a spring break on one of my garage doors last week. Had a local company come out and replace it the next day.

    Remove garage staircase wall?

    Could you relocate the sink to the front left corner (of the left bay)? Definitely much more drywall work, as well as extending lines, but it would give you better access for parking. I understand your situation. When we built our house, our builder was actually very open to changes/additions...

    V3 Bug/Suggestion Box

    Yay! That was one of my favorite features about the old site. Not a big deal though if it can't come back, some of us can adjust.

    Decent keypad door knob

    I have the same one. After about a year, mine was doing the same thing, I contacted Schlage, and they sent out a replacement under warranty. So far the replacement is working well.

    How to save money when building.

    Be willing to listen to advice and compromise, if needed. When building our current house, one of my requirements was to have a garage just for me. It came with an attached 3 car garage. We originally wanted to do a carriage garage for my garage. The builder suggested I could go bigger and...

    Garages: are they for parking in?

    Have a 3 car for parking cars in, and there are 3 cars in it. Have a 4th bay that's perpendicular to the 3 car. It's abig 1 car (24x15) that I use as my general purpose workshop/workspace. Only that 1 car is heated/cooled.

    Recommend me a decent quality roll up over head door

    Spend the extra money and get one that's insulated. I put a 4' wide roll up door as my man door on my garage when we built our house. I didn't get an insulated one. It radiated an amazing amount of heat. I just replaced it with a custom ordered insulated steel door. The outside of that door can...
