    Funny, you mention the garage door, we learned something the first month, one of the springs went out (broke) and I had to get a new one and at the same time I got a new heavy duty opener, well, when the spring broke Mister strongman here thought he could lift it and get my car out.............wrong, our door weighs over 400lbs due to all the extra steel bracing on it, the garage door guy said there's no way anyone can lift these doors.

    I couldn't get my car until the next day when the guy came and put a new spring on, learn something everyday, not a standard door.

    Chit, back in Missouri I used to lift the door all the time, not down here, but they were made like a few beer cans.

    That's awesome. Apparently the previous owners were smart and wealthy enough to do it all right. Very cool house and set up.
