Hosts Pat Simpson and Jodi Marks show how to install a new, safer garage door that has been designed for do-it-yourselfers. For safety reasons, they recommend hiring professionals to remove the old door.

Take Measurements

  1. We began by taking the measurements of the door opening. We started by measuring the door opening width and height.
  2. Next, we measured for the side room for the installation of the vertical track and the spring.
  3. We then measured for the headroom, which is the distance between the top of the door opening and the ceiling. You should have about 10 to 12 inches of headroom available depending on the spring system you’re installing.
  4. Finally, we measured for the backroom. You need at least the door height plus 18 inches for proper installation.

Prepare Door Sections

  1. Our first step in preparing the door sections was to temporarily attach the stops to both sides of our opening.
  2. Laying the first section over covered sawhorses, we attached the hardware using the supplied sheet metal screws.
  3. Next, we attached the #1 hinge to the pre-punched holes along the top edge of the section.
  4. We attached a lift handle on both sides of the door section using the supplied fasteners.
  5. Next, we carefully lifted and set the bottom section in the opening so that it was centered from side to side against the stop molding.
  6. We used a 4′ level to be sure that our door section was level.
  7. To temporarily hold the section in place, we drove a16d nail into the frame and bent it over the section.

Install Door Sections

  1. We placed the second panel on top of the first and drove nails into the side jambs to hold it in place; then we installed the third section. Be sure to check the numbers on the hinges and install them in the proper order.
  2. When we got to the last panel, we placed it over the sawhorses and attached the top roller bracket.
  3. We then placed the last door panel on top of the others, drove in a nail for temporary support, and attached the hinges from the top of the previous section to the bottom of the last section (figure A).
  4. Finally, we placed a roller in the top and bottom brackets and in the outer tubes in each of the hinges at the ends of each section.

Install Torsion Springs

  1. We began assembling the torsion tube by pushing the tube sections firmly together in the coupler, drilling pilot holes and securing them with screws.
  2. We prepared the torsion spring assembly by sliding the torsion spring, winding unit and cable drums onto the shaft.
  3. We carefully placed the spring assembly and tube in each bracket above the door (figure E) and then tightened the screws in the cone to the torsion tube before securing the spring to the bracket.
  4. We attached the cables starting with the left side. We pulled the cable up from the bottom bracket and tightened the setscrew on the drum.
  5. Next, we inserted our drill into the winding unit and wound the appropriate number of turns to set the tension for the spring.
  6. Finally, we installed the tube retainers on either side of the door.

Final Touches

  1. We secured the stop molding around the perimeter of both garage openings using 3d galvanized finishing nails. The stop molding will help seal the garage from the elements.
  2. To attach the interior slide bolt, we secured it with screws on the end style of the door and then tested its operation. We repeated the same procedure for the slide bolt lock on the other garage door.
  3. To finish this project we applied a coat of primer to the raw wood trim around our opening. After it had completely dried we applied a finish coat of paint.

“Follow the Japanese model… resign, or go commit suicide.” - Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), quoted by the Washington Post, on AIG executives who took bonuses despite a massive government bailout.
Fox News,pundits Charles Krauthammer and Mort Kondracke argued that some should be put to death: “KRAUTHAMMER:… I would be for an exemplary hanging or two. Have it in Times Square, invite Madame DuFarge. You borrow a guillotine from the French and we could have a party… KONDRACKE: I was going to recommend boiling in oil in Times Square.”

Burrr.

Filed under: Uncategorized

Work actually wasn’t too bad today. It went by relatively quickly, even though this was the longest shift I’ve worked so far. I took a half hour lunch though, so that could be why. Didn’t have too many rude customers, and I even got to train a new girl. I’ve been there for two weeks and I’m already a trainer. Yay me! But yeah, she seems really sweet ‘n I felt so bad for her because some rude ass old man went off on her for something that wasn’t her fault at all. It states clearly in the guidelines for Kmart that you can’t use your Employee Discount with a Credit Card but some people are fucking morons.

After lunch (when I went outside with wet hair and no coat to smoke) I started to feel like shit. My throat got really dry and I kept having to run over to the KCafe to get a drink of water, I could barely talk - and when I did, it was painful. I’m thinking my sister gave me her cold (she’s been talking like a man for days) but that coupled with my going outside with wet hair, and smoking more often than before because I bought short cigarettes.. is definitely taking a toll on me. I got home and realized I had a stuffy nose as well, and now I just feel crappy all over. It makes me mad ‘cause I was just thinking of how cute it’d be if I were sick and Jeremy came over to comfort me and make me feel better. Now he has the chance, but I won’t see him ’til tomorrow after work. -Sigh.-

God, I’m the biggest baby when I’m sick. lol. He just signed on and I’m like “Hunny, I’m sick and I miss you!” Waah. lol. It’s kind of funny how childish and clingy I get when I don’t feel well. And now he’s telling me that he doesn’t know about Tuesday either. Maybe I’m too attached, but this really sucks. I feel awful and all I want to do is snuggle up with my boyfriend. But I can’t because his stupid friend is back from the stupid air force and wants to hang out and spend stupid time with him. Ugh. I should’ve went after a guy who had no friends or family, lol. I’m such a baby. Blah. I’m trying not to be a bitch to him but it sucks that his parents are always getting in the way of us hanging out (even though he’s almost twenty years old) and now his friend is. Well.. I can understand his friend getting in the way, he’s in the airfoce and Jeremy never sees him.. but damnit, I don’t wanna wait ’til Thursday. =( I know he feels bad though, he’s telling me how much he wants to hang out with me too. Aw, he’s suggesting we both hang out with him. But.. I don’t wanna get in the way. He’s gonna talk to his friend. ..Aw. I have the best boyfriend ever. ^_^

DOLLAR>……….

Filed under: Uncategorized

Dollar had his first impromptu performing audience today. Dollar is only 11 months old and he is learning to lay down on cue, park out on cue, he will come to me and back away on cue, his feet can be handled extensively without a lead rope on him, i can stand behind him and pull his tail….lean on his butt….whatever…. without a rope or reaction from him, he will lunge out in both directions - changing directions and pace on vocal cue.

there 10-12 kids across the road today while I was riding Sassy, who did well today by the way. yes she tried me, but i handled her. anyway, when i got back home they all wanted to pet the horses so i brought them all over, let them pet all thhe horses - who were just standing around here and there saying “pet me, pet me”. I brought out Dollar and they all crowded around him, petting him, and he did beautifully. I am very proud of my little up and coming Steed………………”Cash’s High Dollar”. They just love him especially.

I promised them dthat when they come back during a little warmer weather, and with a little notice….I will saddle up Mama and Jubilee and let them take turns riding horses.

We also bought me a truck today, but we can’t pick it up until Monday. It’s yet got to be detailed, the glove box latch has got to be fixed, and new lenses put on the headlights as they are real cloudy looking. I have to take a little bit of paperwork back to them Monday. It’s a Dodge sport, 2001, charcoal gray, extended cab. I really like it. It’s a damn site better than the truck I had that my daughter totalled. I’m anxious to get it so i can start burning the roads up again…..heheh…..just kiddin’. The Dodge is my Valentines Day gift. har har har.

Amanda’s been down sick again with her kidneys. she has no insurance, but still really needs to see a urologist. I’m just worried about her. and this stupid jerk she’s with….mike………..he’s not very sympathetic to her needs. I don’t like him………….and I hope eventually she’ll see that he’s just not “all that”. He’s got a lousy, know-it-all attitude. I dont’ have any respect for him as he does not respect me as Amanda’s mother. I just don’t like him. Period. and I’m worried about my girl and whether or not he’s really taking care of her. Hopefully she’ll get things together in her life. Pray for her.

Nate and Britt’s baby is due just any moment, but she’s not gone into labor yet. she was due the 9th. He’ just bought himself a new truck too. He’s very proud of it as it’s the first vehicle he’s ever been able to buy for himself. He was able to pay cash for it and it’s a really nice truck. She gave him some grief over bpaying cash for it, but he deserved it. And they need two vehicles badly for the fact of having two babies. Ya’ll know how it is.
They’re having another boy……Liam Nathaniel. Nate’s middle name was after his dad, so Liam’s middle name is after Nathan. Their other boy is Evan Isaiah.

Well, that’s all the news I have for the day. Hope ya’ll had a great and beautiful day. Take care.

Filed under: Uncategorized

North Sea is dotted with a sun, sand, sea, shells … … beautiful coastal city. But perhaps the beauty of the scenery is much more to see and enjoy the beautiful nerve Flanagan will gradually become insensitive.

This does not, as usual, came to a 4-day North Sea, in addition to the day when they go out to eat, rose almost always have to stay in the hotel room, depending on the beauty of the surrounding structures and no. Plain and simple is the day for the past few days, also rose has been the day. Therefore, the trip to the North Sea, Rosa can not travel and wonderful friends to share, just plain friends, so that the lives of taste. No novelty, no longer hot, but the lack of romance, such a life, the taste of this, dear friends, you may have been willing to accompany rose to taste.

Rosa’s life may be like cup water, tasteless, but the water rose but love this life. Although the light tasteless, but I can let out the life of thousands of products taste. But of course, strong coffee muddy but I get lost easily, of course, green tea fragrance of the tea leaves floating, but it will block my line of sight, of course, delicious cola carbonated but that’s easy to let it easier to stimulate my own pride Erwang. Only boiled water, clear, transparent, simple and true, let me be more clear perspective of life, like that of the small trickling stream, little by little, my heart moisture, so that feeding the heart of life will never dry up.

This is the water, tepid, but do not have a different feeling!

September gift - a teacher, thank you

Filed under: Uncategorized

Occasionally found it posted in the School of Teacher’s Day blessing of a teacher’s post. Think back, the teachers to express the gratitude.

To study the road is very bumpy, but the way I was going so smooth, just because of the teacher’s help. Sometimes I feel very lucky to have met so many good teachers, they learned from the things I good enough for a lifetime. Muna I do not know how the teacher for help to express my gratitude. Fortunately, I can write, use words to express their teachers and the most sincere gratitude.

I have to learn the auspices of professional audio, which really let me also at the university in a lot of Xianbai. I remember the first time organized by the Institute gala New Year’s Day, we strongly recommend the Department of Huang Kechang I was presiding. Fortunately, I Xie Xiaoyun and teachers, teacher Zhang Lin with the host.

The auspices of the experience benefited me.

In the first year for the next semester, I found a pleasant surprise as I was a teacher Xie Xiaoyun Putonghua teachers. I am very lucky to Xie Xiaoyun with the teacher to continue learning. I also after years of little to no trouble to thank the teachers. I remember in June of 2007, Tengzhou People’s Broadcasting Station to be held in Putonghua Competition, which for me is a good chance, so I told the team the idea of a teacher Xie Xiaoyun. I thank very much support teachers to participate in, when she was informed that I know nothing about the situation in the game, she personally went to the station, I asked for. Students register for the teacher - to allow Radio Director Wang Shun greatly moved. I personally like to thank the teachers selected to wear the clothes match, the match at a time when the summer vacation, teachers also worried that I did not have a place to live. I remember a long dinner and Shun Taiwan, Tai referred to the matter. He told me that Feng Chao, no matter what time you can not forget to thank your teacher.

Yes, in any case I will not forget you - thank a teacher.

When a host is one of my dreams, but unfortunately the dream was to take off when the wings are folded. I am not willing, I would like to go on the road. Sophomore next semester, I decided to go to radio internship. When I told the teacher to thank, once again thank the teachers went to the station to help me practice issues. In Xie with the help of a teacher, I came to the station’s successful practice.

I find myself and my colleagues in the gap between the very end, and I can not thank the teacher contact. However, this time to thank the teachers to the message, I asked. I answered truthfully, I am a teacher to encourage some. With the encouragement of teachers, I learn with an open mind, and presided over the level of Putonghua has improved. In April this year, Tengzhou TV host of the “golden microphone campus of the second game.” I register for the race, and thank the teacher gave me a lot of help from various sources. Leadership in Taiwan and colleagues for their support and encouragement, I entered the semi-finals. The end of the semi-finals, to thank the teachers on the contest judges find quickly, I would like to ask them to the stage of the shortcomings and inadequacies, and then thank the teacher and to convey to me.

To overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies, with the encouragement of teachers, I went into the final scene, once again I can only use the “lucky” word, and I won the first prize of the tournament. When I was with a heavy trophy, my heart full of gratitude.

Some people say that when you succeed is when you say thank you. Yes, I say thank you, thank you for all concerned, I help my teachers, thank you.

Qingluan with the bird soar away, and virtuous people with high quality. I would not say how good the quality of their own, but I encountered such a good teacher. I would like to ask the teacher for a meal, said thank you, each time grateful to the teachers always refused, she said: “You made a wage and then invite me.” No students reported that each can only use the phrase “self thank their loved ones” to comfort themselves. Thank you, a wonder in my heart to repeat the number of times, and still can not express my gratitude.

Teacher’s Day is coming, you greetings from a student: teacher is tough for you. On this day belongs to you, the students here to the deep on Ju Yi Gong. Mentor unforgettable!

Nasi feelings……

Filed under: Uncategorized

 

In the last few good friends for emotional distress things
"Deception, hands, feeling low, feelings of crisis……"
Whatever the wording of infants Pumianerlai
Love, or do not love; hand, or breaking up
Not just a simple matter of choice……

A lot of time
We often think
Feelings of the pay and the demands
If the same person who reached the saturation of the proportional
It was the best ideals of love
Only to a certain moment
We take away from each other on their respective needs of the pride

Feeling is we need to use one of the things to life
Love a person
Can do the best efforts
Perhaps only from the minor places on his good
Meet or are better left
We really need a way to make life go on all the feelings of the filing
Learn to nostalgia, or to forget……

In any case, sincerely hope that everyone can be happy……
