    Chamberlain Liftmaster Garage Door Opener - problems

    The other night we might have suffered a lightening strike during a bad storm. The GFCI that is on the same circuit that my garage door openers are plugged in to was tripped and would not reset, so I replaced the faulty GFCI and restored power to that circuit. One of the door openers worked...

    Luke warm bath, hot everywhere else...

    This door is actually one of several doors in my house that do not close correctly that need to be fixed. As you can see from the pictures and the YouTube video, the door rubs along the top of the frame. I am wondering if I need to take the door frame apart in order to solve this problem. I...

    Rotted window bases...

    We just bought a new home which is about 16 years old. It seems when the previous owner got ill, the house went into a bit of neglect and left unattended for some time. During that time I assume the windows were left open as almost every single one of the window bases (the slanted part that...
