    How does Genie opener Auto-Seek Dual Frequency work? Interference issue.

    When we moved into a new house, I added a "Christmas light remote thingy" so I could turn on the water recirc pump only when needed. After some frustration and research, I found out that it interfered with the garage door remotes. Switched to a X-10 setup and had no problem with the remotes...

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT London Calling. An ordinary life.

    What I liked about Port Issac/Wenn (and certain others UK shows) is/was when the tide is out, the boats flop down on the mud to await the incoming tide.

    Garage Build In Lexington South Carolina

    A strange thought: If you don't want to combine lots, have an architect/designer come up with a house with attached or detached garage that fits the HOA/lot requirements. If OK with the powers to be (HOA/local gov.), build only the garage part. Now you have your garage, and your heirs can...

    New Build Garage Ventilation philosophy

    I'm guessing the vents you saw in other houses were required due to gas water heater. Our house garage build in 2006 has a vent up high and one down low and a gas water heater. If you have a gas water heat it may be a power vented one for intake and exhaust.

    How to figure out what has caused my electric usage to go up by 20% or more?

    turn off the breaker for the septic pump, then back on. I had the reverse problem. The alarm went off saying the pump wasn't working. Turned the breaker off and back on fixed the problem (over two years ago now). Actually, it was the tech who installed the new pump a few months prior who...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    A while back I posted watching the tech swap out a LM 98022 unit that they could not get to work properly. He reprogrammed all my remotes including the outside key pad. Well, I just noticed that the LED light with it was not working. Hardly go out at night but did last week when I and my...

    Well hope he isn't THAT bad! Anyway, my wife developed Frontal Temporal Dementia over a few years. Started with some strange behavior such as complaining that her brother from about 1000 miles away was putting "things" in her head and taking her jewelry. So maybe he needs a visit with a...

    Be cautious of jackshaft operator installers

    Simply amazing! Ignore the manufacture's guidance on what the opener was designed for and then wonder why it doesn't work properly. I have a LM 98022 installed 12/1/2023. Worked OK until Mar. Would close and then open back up. Took 5 service trips (no charge) and my over 1-hour phone call...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Watched the "head" tech remove the LM 98022 opener that was installed on 12/1/23 and install a new one in its place. The old one worked fine until mid March when it would raise the door back up after getting down to the floor. Tech worked on it on 3/29 and worked OK for a month or so...

    I used to grow a few stalks in my garden up north. Mostly picked and eat them on site -- never made it to the kitchen. Also liked munching on peas and green beans alfresco.
