My Garage Door has Issues out the WAAZOO
So, here is the story. My garage door opener ever since being installed has made this strange buzzing sound. Constantly. Not just when the door is being opened and closed but ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME. It turns out that there is a problem with the mother board. I, like many I have talked to, had no idea that a garage door opener would have a mother board, or that if it did it could go screwy. So the new mother board has been ordered and is ready to install, I just have to find the time to get it done. Simply put, my garage door has mother issues.
But, this isn't all. Like most people with mother issues, the door also has other issues as well. Apparently the "upforce" of my opener is improperly calibrated. This is why it didn't open all the way and I ran the back of my van into the garage door. To my defense--I didn't just back into a closed door. It open, mostly--so much that looking out my rearview mirror, I saw the outside world. Had I been in a regular size car and not the van (any one want to buy a van, anyone at all?), I would have cleared all but an antennia. As it is I hit the roof of the van--no damage to the van (you know for anyone interested in buying it--it still looks good), but I managed to pull the seal off the bottom of the garage door and knock it off track. Luckily my dad was available to come over and look at it--he called the garage door guy (it is still under warrenty) and that is when I found out that I have a garage door opener with mother issues and upforce issues (sounds like it needs Viagra).
