Garage Door Installation


The garage installers came by yesterday to raise the header on my garage door to 8' so that I have clearance to park the T@B camper indoors. They were a great crew of 3 out of Denver that worked hard from about 9 a.m. to 4:30. In less than 8 hours, they removed the old 7' door and opener, cut and raised the header by over a foot, installed a new Amarr triple layer steel door with insulation and windows, installed a Liftmaster 3800 side mount opener and keyless entry pad, and added outside trim. At the end of the day, the only thing left for me to do was to paint the new trim pieces.

It is really nice to be able to park the camper at home instead of miles away on an open storage lot exposed to the sun, rain, and snow. Now it is in covered and secure storage, out of the elements, and convenient for packing, cleaning, repairs, and modifications. I am looking forward to being able to just hitch up and go when camping season rolls around again!

Here are a few more project pictures.
