Posted by Michael in Home Remodeling

We had some bad luck with the garage door last week.  By bad luck, I mean that it stopped opening and closing.  It was fine in the morning when I went to work, but it wouldn’t work at all by the end of the night.  I had to open and close it manually for the next few days, which was a pain because it’s a big, heavy...
