I’ve been interested in putting together an anime garage kit for awhile now but have no idea what to do! Can someone tell me what kind of tools and paint I’ll need and how to get started? It’d be greatly appreciated!

the hand-held one and the one programmed into the suburban do not open the door anymore…however, the ‘doorbell’ switch still works. trying the reprogramming technique on the motor is ineffective. Any suggestions, please!

Can 1/2hp garage door openers open a 2 car garage door without spring?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
xvl260 asked:

Can 1/2hp garage door openers open a 2 car garage door without spring? One side of the wire on my garage door broke, right now the door is crooked. If I cut the remain wire, the door will not be sprung, will the garage door opener still have enough power to open it? This is just temp solution until I can get it fixed, but I need to know before I cut. Thanks.
What I had to do last night was, I losened the bolt that was holding the wheel that was winding the wire, it released the spring’s energy, then I just manually opened the door with a buddy. I’m going to hire a professional to fix it and wind it back to the proper tension though.

Can I move my sectional garage without planning permission?

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
martin m asked:

Hi, I have a large garden, approximately one third of an acre and it has a pre-cast concrete sectional garage approximately 6 metres wide x 8 metres long. With it being sectinal it can easily be dismantled and re-built.

The garage is sited 30 metres from the back of my house and on the boundary line at the right hand side and I wish to move it to the boundary line on the left hand side.

Planning permission was originally gained when the garage was erected some 20 years ago.

The reason I want to move it is it is on the wrong side of my property as my drive way is on the left. The surroundin trees are undermining the garage base and think it best to move it away from the trees. Both neighbours do not have any objections.

Thanks
