Looking for some advice for re-wiring my outdoor speakers. These are fairly long runs and cannot be put into the walls. I have hardi-plank siding and I'd like to be able to fasten them to the outside and paint over them. Suggestions?

Hey Gang, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Our garage door is large and heavy sectional. It's been in for about 15 years and has started making a racket as it goes up. I traced the sound to the top rollers which I plan on replacing but I am wondering about track alignment...
