    This GearWrench ratcheting set is actually $49.99 at Menards right now, as I went to snag the GW pass-thru set tonight (see Menards thread). If GJer's haven't got a set yet, maybe catch the Menards 11% rebate along with the $49.99 price on the GW 20 pc ratcheting set (item # 35720). That way...

    Belt or chain opener

    Easy answer as apparently you have nice house with 3 car garage. NO, NO, NO to anything with a chain. Not appropriate for high-end house. YES, YES, YES to Jackshaft drive with a high-lift door, if appropriate for your garage ceiling. Belt-drive if you settle for "normal" opener instead of...

    If that is sheetrock, I'd cut down and across from that existing outlet on left side of window. You're in Oklahoma . . . even if you tear out some insulation, no problem !! :D Use an oscillating tool with cutting blade and that sheetrock piece cut out can just be patched right back in. Cut...
