I meant tight to the walls, looks like the garage door is also right to the full width of the garage, that's nice.

I've heard about the wall mounted opener, have to look into them more at some point if and when I change to a better set of doors than the "builder's special".

<quote>It extends out probably a good 3 feet or so (the skinny part retracts into the larger part of the wand when you turn it off) and the spray tip is moveable so you can have it pointing straight up while the wand is parallel to the ground. </quote>

3 feet?? Very impressive..

So tempting. But decided to hold out bait longer. Washed the garage floors just to get into the spring spirit a bit. I'm really thinking April.
You recognize the cover Kris?

Clever way of saving garage space - hanging the car off of the ceiling. ;-)

I was tempted to get mine out today but ended up installing a trailer hitch on the 951 to pull a tire trailer for track days.

It was a good drive yesterday, Fister D mufflers are on now as of last night too.

But it still feels very strange to have to move the snow blower out of the way first to drive the P-car out of the garage.........

From all that I have read this is the guy to get for jack mounted garage door opener.. I am going to be putting the lift in this spring, and will be picking up one of these as well.. nothing like 12' ceilings in your garage

Looking at the roads today it looks like one big salt brine to me.
Need to wait a couple of weeks until we get lots of rain to wash it away.
