Hopefully, this will be the last time I back into that little garage door.
I have to leave for work a couple of months and wife convinced me to just let the garage door company install it in the rough opening.
While I'm gone.
I tried to tell her that I'm sure I could do it better than the professionals with three times the time and twice the costs!
I seem to always end up doing some, or part of it over.
The last time, they installed the jack shaft bearing plates, in the highest set of holes on the tracks. Putting the top of the cable drums, 1/2" higher than the bottom of where my finished ceiling was going to be.
This was frustrating, because I had the exact amount of headroom they had requested. And, I had made it clear, there was going to be a finished, drywall ceiling.
When I called the next day, and asked why didn't he use the lower set of holes, they told me they had to use the higher set of holes. And, that the door would not work in the lower set.
Which was funny, because, when I got home from work the night before, I unscrewed everything, moved it down to those other holes, readjusted it, and it worked just fine.
But, what do I know, I don't do them all day long, like these guys do.
