In times of haste, we sometimes forget the very basic of disconnects. With safety chains and trailer wiring already removed, carefully adjust trailer height with tongue jack to remove weight/tension on hitch/ball assembly, chock wheel(s) on trailer to prevent movement, pull safety clip, pull...

Thinking outside the box, the thicker support beams and windows/doors, etc can be boxed out and framed in to reflect a post and beam, or heavy stone construction design. Yes, the window and door wells will be very deep, but if framed correctly, in a way to be structural as well, will take on a...

Painters, carpenter, and appliance installer for the builder were in today. Fireplace is now painted in a better color to match as close as possible with the adjoining walls, awaiting new 7' mantel to be finished and installed. Still debating on whether to have a custom set of black doors and...

Disturbed the landscaping crew this morning while they were having breakfast They treed 10-12 squirrels, who had no idea what to make of these interlopers. Bill S.

Picture makes it look much worse than it actually is, at the highest point, from concrete to bottom of the door, it measures just a hair over 1.5" I've both shown the issues to the construction supervisor, and emailed him the links above. He will discuss with the garage install crew, and get...

Anyone use the rodent one? I'm thinking better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it with a gap like that. https://www.northshorecommercialdoor.com/rodentblock-door-seals-with-xcluder/ Bill S.

I'm headed over in half an hour, I'm going to check the highest point of the gap, I do not believe that I can stretch out the existing to close the gap. On the other thread I started, someone gave me a link to some stuff that will most certainly work...

I'm headed over at 10am, while I'm there I'm going to take measurements so I can see the highest gap height. I do not believe the existing seal can be stretched out enough to close it off, but you never know. Bill S.

That looks promising, I'll have to show that to the builder Much appreciated. Anyone else with similar, please chime in. Bill S.

No, the side seals (matching the color of the doors, as white seals that were shipped on a Mahogany colored door would look awful) have not arrived yet, but are due in later this week I believe. Bill S.

Well, new garage doors are in, new garage addition is perfect, where I appear to have run in to an issue is the original, 1967 garage slab coupled with the new 18X8 Coplay, steel, insulated garage door as shown below. Uncertain if the builder or garage door installer is going to deal with this...

This is the larger 18X8 door on the 1967 poured garage slab, the new garage is perfectly level and seals great. We will figure out a successful solution one way or the other, yet figuring it out will be the key I have not grasped yet. Will start a new thread to see what others have come up with...

I can see it now Bill S.

Well, garage doors are in, however, upon inspection this afternoon (actually turning on the gas fired tankless hot water heater so it can circulate tonight as the temps drop down to the low teens), I'd say they need to scribe the bottom panel or adjust for the slope of the existing garage...

Chris, I'm just wrapping up a garage and house renovation a few hours south of you (see link in sig for details), the first thing I'll tell you is a simple one, if it is not spelled out in the contract (IE: drywall, concrete floor for the garage, number of lights, electrical fixtures...

It's ****, but the OP has been around the cobra replicas long enough and knows what it means :lol_hitti Bill S. PS: My days in the race/track related fire suppression system business are almost 25 years behind me. My foray into a group purchase went from a 6-8 week lead time to a 15 month...

Most group buys for large items such as this fall flat as the shipping, or pick up, around the country, negates any discounts the manufacturer might offer. Fire suppression systems for your FPSB :ROFLMAO:, much easier ;) Bill S.

High track door hardware and new door/opener installed on the 18'Wx8'H single door. DC motor equipped Liftmaster, belt drive, smart view on all three doors. Before and after pictures so you can see the difference between the original and new tracks Other than this, lots of paint and...
