My garage door works now. I feel like I'm truly part of the landed gentry, with a stable for my horseless carriage out back. And Dave was able to save the old doors. I wish I knew their specific era. As nice as it would have been to get an automatic door, it would have required reframing the entire front of the building. And now I have my cool hip vintage doors, sliding open and shut. Ultimately, it's going to take more time to go around and park in back, considering the hassle of navigating one way streets and getting out of the car, opening the door, getting back into the car, navigating the narrow turn, closing the door before going into the house. But it will be nice to not worry about someone crashing into my vehicle while they're driving down Arsenal at 50mph. Or have to shovel snow and ice off in the winter. And it will be easy to get out, - it's just tricky having two one way streets going the wrong direction on either side of the block. Which I'm actually not sure of - Portis might be one way going south. I may go check now. 2:46:42 AM
