We just painted over the screws with a small brush. I'm happy with the finished look.

Hi Captain. For the brick mold I installed the 1 by first and then screwed in the brick mold from the front. Just like in this pic. The outside screws aren't the only thing holding the door in of course. There are more screws inside the door frame.

My neighbor came back and gave me his winding bars for the torsion spring. My wife and I finished installing the garage door today. It glides pretty nice. I had my wife and kids try it out and they didn't have any issues. Its been raining so I'll have to wait to tie up any loose ends. Once...

Thanks. I'm happy I found the GJ or I would have torn it down. Some of the other threads were an inspiration for me to save mine. My wife is pretty cool about tools and such. She's always said if I really need it, get it. I still try to sneak some tools by her though ;)

Thank you. If you lived near by I'd be happy to help.

Cold damp weather kept me from doing what I wanted with the outside. My wife asked me for a couple of flower boxes for the windows. I used the old siding that was from the back of the garage. A few touch ups and it is complete. I'm waiting for my neighbor to return from vacation. He has a pair...

Most likely it will be this spring before I run the electric. I don't have all of the supplies yet for the electrical anyway. I haven't measured but it looks to be roughly 30'. My son thinks it should be easy to dig a trench so I'll let him take care of that part while I :drink: I'll have some...

I have a few little things on the front to touch up, but here is a before and after shot of the front. We're still working on the windows. Those may be finished tomorrow. I need a better camera. This one stinks in my opinion. It looks a lot better in person.

Good luck with fixing your garage. I hope it wasn't as bad as mine was. I went with Action Door Co.

My wife and I did a little more assembly of the garage door after I got home from work. The top section is in and it looks like the pic from one of my previous posts. We're at the point now where we have to install the rear track hangar brackets and then the torsion spring. This is one of the...

Thank you. I really do appreciate your kind words. I'm pretty happy with the end result.

Thanks for the advice :thumbup:, I'll keep that in mind;).

:) Thanks.

Hi Captain. I've kept receipts for everything I've purchased. I just have to tally it all up. I'll be more than happy to take some pictures once its all said and done.

Finished!!! Just kidding:lol:. My wife and I are just holding the sections in place. We do have 3 sections and the side rails in place though. A few more days after work and it will be finished. I like the look of it. Its supposed to rain tomorrow but now I have a nice dry garage and I can...

Thanks. I can't believe it either.

We've rebuilt my front porch the year before last, but neither of us has ever done a project like this before. For tools I pretty much had everything I needed(compound sliding miter saw, drills, levels, ...etc). I did buy two things for this project though. A new hammer drill and I picked up a...

I was going to just use some rebar for the windows until I saw the bars with the design on them. I think it turned out pretty good and VERY secure. Thanks. I have some side trim left to finish. They need a couple of more coats of paint. My wife said she'll hit those tomorrow while I'm at...

Thanks Scott.

Thanks. Appreciate the kind words :thumbup:
