Garage Door Opener

We live in a house that was built in 1946 and while many things have been updated through the years, no one ever installed a garage door opener. We bought the house last spring and a nice selling point was the barn out back...meaning the garage could be used for its intended purpose.

My husband was kind enough to purchase a garage door opener for me for Mother's Day. He got it unpacked and there it stayed. In August in (be prepared for some honesty here) a fit of guilt-inducement, I spent the better part of a day assembling it. And there it stayed. Well, on Monday morning my husband said he was going to attempt to finish the installation. He did it! He did have to cut into the ceiling/floor of the attic to make room for the entire apparatus, but it works. Thank you honey.

Well, kind of. We can pull in the garage, but we can't open the doors to get out of the car. We can move some built in cabinetry to make space, but that might take a few more months.
