    Garage opener installation

    Can one perform the installation alone? My current decided not to work today (after going home from work). Both light bulbs are not working. The on wall control doesn't have a lid on. Verified outlet to have power. I am thinking of buying the same manufacture brand (Genie). Thanks.

    Installing nail on french door and window

    Last question before the holidays. Are there any issue with running a power line on the same column (wall) as the water line? Want to put an outside light at that spot.
