Another from my somewhat random question file while I wind down recovery fr=
om back surgery.....
When we bought this 120+ year old house, the original garage had already be=
en replaced by an extra deep two car garage space. The car door is a segmen=
ted two car wide door that had a Wayne Dalton "i drive" opener. It died/fai=
led over 15 years ago when we did not have the money to replace it. (still =
not sure how we got a mortgage back then when neither of us were making goo=
d money)
Anyway, near as I could determine back then between the error code lights a=
nd their CS help, the main board got fried when the door froze to the slab.=
Since the door requires basically no effort to open manually, I never both=
ered to replace the opener.
Forward all these years, I think it is time to replace the opener. Before I=
do, here is my question finally:
How TF do I keep the door from freezing to the slab again? I think(?) I can=
set it to not close all the way. BUT, with the way the weather is here and=
the amount of freezing rain we get here as well as the temp ups and downs,=
the "not all the way gap" would need to be too big and would allow wild li=
fe in.
Since the boss is the one who gets the indoor parking in the winter (I have=
to store either the Datto or the old Jeep elsewhere), I don't want her to =
have to kick the door in the mornings after a storm.
Thoughts please and thanks for reading my verboseness!!
