It's Fixed!

You know when I said I would blog about that thing that broke and how annoying it was that, that thing broke?!?!? Welllllll --- it's FIXED!

One lovely morning the dear hubby was yelling for help.  I mistakenly thought it was something minor and in my normal annoyed voice said, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!"  I mean really... WHAT could be going so wrong at 6:30 in the morning?! Besides having to get up and go to work or whatever?!?!

Come to find out our fantastic (and by fantastic I mean it wasn't fantastic at all!) garage door imploded and fell on one of the vehicles. Not in a completely damaging way, but, in an annoying, scratchy way. Damn door!!!

The dear husband had to take the door apart piece by piece and then we had to enlist the help of
C#1 to get the springs free without killing someone.

Dearest was nice enough to deal with the insurance company and we/they were able to make everything ship shape. The vehicle was quick. It took less than a week to get that done from the time of the incident to the finish. The door, however, took almost a month. But, it's done. Soooo all is good in the world!!!

Andddddddddddddd there's pictures!!!!!


The stupid door. Lost its wheels and is now laying on one of the vehicles (NOT mine!)


Where the lovely door bent.... Hmmmm. Why'd it do that!??!  I'm glad no one was in the way!  That b@stard was HEAVY!


The cables hanging out.


The scratches. Not horrible damage, but, it still cost over $400!


A big pile of garage door.

And now it's all fixed!! AND they (garage door installer peeps) even took the big pile of garage door! WhooHoo!  

Thankfully the insurance picked up most of the tab ANDDDDDDDD we got a rebate for the door from the lovely Lowe's! How about that?!?!  So all in all, it was a fairly "cheap" fix.  We are all happy campers!

That's it for today. Until next time!
