Thank you - Yes, the door is 8 ft - picture is misleading. I had 2.75 inches of clearance. This will add just 1/2 inch to the height.
And I have about 6ft of operator clearance to get on. So I'm good to go! Can't wait to paint it to match.
I was too quick to order orange paint - and the first one here is a little light - I'm thinking about using it to build up coverage and top it off with the right orange color.
