Boat Blogs and Garage Doors - Act II

Boat time has been pretty scarce lately. About one afternoon in the last 3 or 4 weeks. No overnighters. No boat blog time. And it isn't looking good the next couple of weeks either. I'm getting bummed. Planned on going yesterday, but rain and wind kept us away.

So I stayed home yesterday and fixed the garage door. After much planning and scheming I took things apart yesterday and came up with a strategy. Re-enforce the top panel, put bolts through the door where there were hings, straighten and re-align the track. Off to Menards - then Lowes for parts. 10 pm the garage door went up once again, powered by the door opener. So far I have gotten by with about $25 in parts. Going to spend about $15 on another brace for the top panel. So considering the shape it was in that fateful night in June, I feel lucky. Oh, it needs to be replaced, but it will do until we can put the funds in place for a replacement.

Now if I can just find some time for the boat.
