Deathtrap

So the garage door was one of those things that came back in the house inspection that did not work right so I knew something had to be done about it. Looking through Craigslist I found a nice Genie Quietlift belt driven garage door opener selling for only $75 new in the box! It was quite the deal if you ask me. I bought it off some guy who had accidentally bought a model without enough horsepower to lift his oak panel garage door and was just looking to get rid of the item out of his garage. Lucky me I just happened to look at the right time.

So replacing a garage door is not the hardest thing in the world. It just takes some time for the inexperienced do-it-yourselfer. I had actually managed to install the thing to operate backwards. So if you were opening the door, and you tripped off the sensor it'd actually try and close in and crush you (or any other unsuspecting critter). It was my own household deathtrap. Needless to say, this has been fixed. No cats or dogs are in danger of being eaten alive by the garage.
