Thinking totally outside the box, but how about a strip of low wattage heat t=

When we bought this 120+ year old house, the original garage had already bee=
n replaced by an extra deep two car garage space. The car door is a segmente=
d two car wide door that had a Wayne Dalton "i drive" opener. It died/failed=
 over 15 years ago when we did
 not have the money to replace it. (still not sure how we got a mortgage bac=
k then when neither of us were making good money)

Anyway, near as I could determine back then between the error code lights an=

How TF do I keep the door from freezing to the slab again? I think(?) I can s=
et it to not close all the way. BUT, with the way the weather is here and th=

 "not all the way gap" would
 need to be too big and would allow wild life in.&nbsp; </div>
