Very nice. You need to contac the Before and After show guy...Pat Simpson. That would be right up with their caliber.
"Caliber" Armin....looks like I am trying to turn Breaktime into a "Guntime" site.

I went to the site and looked around. Cool story, great pics. Did you make the garage doors?
It's in all that text I rambled on about but long story short is I had Designer Doors (see FH back ads) and they wanted around $12,000 a pair. I contacted the local Overhead Doors and they custom made them for around $4500 installed with openers. Couldn't beat that.
