While basking in the glory of my new automatic garage door, I realized that it wouldn’t operate without power. But that’s OK; I have a gasoline generator. Well, it’s not really OK because the generator resides in the garage, so I can’t get to it when I really need it. Hmmm.
I needed a separate door on the side, and I wanted it to be wide enough to move the generator in and out—that would be about 36 inches.
A quick trip to Lowe’s treated me to some discouraging prices on exterior steel doors, but I found one with a broken frame and a few minor dents. A bit of discussion with a manager resulted in a substantial discount. Here’s the door leaning against the garage.
The rough opening with the studs still in place.
Installed—a perfectly adequate door that meets minimum expectations.
Next: Fascia, soffit, and trim
