    A word of caution about the garage door. If it is a double door (typically 16' wide) it will have a spring that runs on a bar across the top of the door. You have to let the tension off this spring before you start to remove the door panels. If you do not, it could jump up and bite you really badly. I would recommend a Google search on how to do it but briefly, it involves in using a pin to pull the spring and moving the stop to the next hole, release and repeat until the tension is gone. If it is a single door, then the springs are ion either side and much easier to remove. Just be sure the door is raised when you take them loose.



    Do your homework before you do the demo to avoid pain and excessive blood...
