Garage Door

The Garage That Wouldn't

So a quick update on our garage.  So it turned out that the breaker had gone bad and knocked out power to our entire basement.  A quick trip to Lowe's gave us the new piece we needed, and then all we needed to do was swap it out.

We've actually had to replace a breaker before, so we weren't too worried about doing it again.  Switch off the main power to the house, remove the front of the electrical panel, and then swap out the pieces.  (Also enlist the help of an assistant to hold a flashlight!). 

Homeowner Mysteries

Confession: I have never once unlocked a door to our house with a key, and entered that way. 

Every single time I've come home, I've entered through the garage.  My car has a built in button to open the door from inside the car.  And if that were ever to fail, I have the actual garage door opener in my glove box.  This week my car happens to be getting some minor work done, so I've been driving a rental, and using that spare garage door opener. Tom does the same thing.
