Automatic Garage Door

There are many little things that we have that we really think nothing of, until all of a sudden they are no longer working. A piece of our Garage door opener broke. This little piece called a trolley completely broke in two. The days of pushing a button and the door coming open or shutting no longer existed at our home. We had to get out in the cold and pull the door open and then get back into the car drive into the garage and then walk back over to the garage and pull it down to close it.

Honestly our garage door opener was one thing that I have never loved about this house. I have complained often about how loud it is, but when it stopped working I missed that noise through out the house that told us that Paul had made it home from work safe. I can say that I was a bit happy when we had the Garage Door Man come and look at it, and he mentioned that the part would have to be ordered in and it might be in are better interest to replace it. Paul had looked up what we had on line and learned that it was a pretty cheap system. It was an easy choice to have it replaced.

Yesterday the Garage Door Man came back with in a couple of hours he had are garage opening and closing with a push of a button again! We were delighted to also get a little pad on the outside of the house. Our house in Idaho had this little novelty and we have talked about putting one in since we moved into the house almost 4 years ago. The kids were all thrilled about this fun new way to get into the house.

I think the best part about the garage breaking besides the fact that the system is so much quieter. Is simply having a greater appreciation for the little things around the house that make my life so much more comfortable.
