We bought a house a few years back, and one of the big reasons we bought the one we did was the 20x40 pole barn garage in the back yard. It has 2 - 9' wide x 8' tall doors on the short end, and within the first year of owning the place I finished off the back 18' and insulated and heated it to make into a wood shop, and still leave plenty of room for parking. At the time I was doing that I had a project 71 bug that I thought might be nice to be able to bring into the heated side so I built half of the wall hinged so I could open it up.
Today was actually the first time I had a need to do so. My headlights on my Frontier had always been a little high, but after putting in a leveling kit today I knew I was going to have to adjust the headlights. Reading the official method to do so meant a 25' level area in front of the truck to aim, and since my driveway is not level i decided it was time to open up the full 40' of the shop.
First I had to move the **** I had put in front of the door out of the way so it could open, fortunately it wasn't much. So here is the opening sequence in pictures... sorry for the poor quality cell phone pics.
Fully closed.
Man door I always use opening.
Hinged wall section opening.
Fully open against the outer wall.
And the truck in place with the lights where they need to be.
And for those of you that recognize the sign I have on the man door, yes, the bike is black.
