Garage Door!!

Uh, the door shouldn't be that hard to lift, did you pull the emergency release?

You'd think!! I have no idea how heavy it is, but it's heavy. I've got a heavy duty Lift Master door opener & it won't budge it. The pieces that go across it start bending when you try & lift from them. I can't get it up far enough yet to lift it from the bottom.

Going to take some creative engineering to solve it! I've been thinking, when me son's come over today & the 3 of us get it from the bottom & then have the wife hit the door opener to help us lift it, that might do it. I don't think the opener will hold the weight though! Step ladder isn't tall enough to let the truck out. So it will be the ladder & something on top of the to get that truck out!

It's a fine friggen mess, I'll tell you!

I thought about that, but then thought better of it!!

We got the door up & rescued my 4x4!! That horse was getting panicky in the barn being trapped like that! Now it will just be mad sitting out under the stars!

It wasn't as hard as I thought. Just needed some beef, is all. I couldn't get it up to my ankles, by myself! The boy's latched on it & up it went. I couldn't leave it open though. I've got way to many tools & power equipment in there to leave it open. So, I got it open & then shut it until it gets fixed. I have a double door on the back of the garage for the tractor to go out & I also have another door off my front porch. I can make things do, to a point. I normally sit in the garage with the door open, sipping on some beer while the grandson does his thing in the yard. I've got to change all of that until it's fixed. I hate it when my drinking habits get messed up!!!

I'll see what the insurance does with it today!

There was some kind of problem yesterday on the forum. I was on early, & then about 8:30. After that, I never got back on at all. Seems to be fine today.

I do know that spring is dangerous for sure. It's one of them on a shaft that goes over the top of the door. They put a chalk line on it & then put so many twists in it to lift the door. I think the whole thing is out of whack. RC had a problem once with it!!

Can't remember exactly what set it off now, but I ran out of the house, into the 4x4, hit the door opener & backed up before the door was open!! Just caught the top of my shell, but broke the bottom panel. PF was right about driving the 4x4 out of the garage!!

Had a company over & they did some fancy pop riveting, it's a fiber glass door, & kind of banged it up. Well that was 4 or 5 years ago & it's finally broke. My insurance man swears he's going to get a new door put on there! How, I haven't a clue. I'd take a new door though, I at least need the bottom panel.

I hope that is a fluke or something with the forum yesterday!!

My agent just called & put me on a conference call with a door company. They are coming out about 11:00 or 12:00. Agent told them he wanted it replaced this morning!! So, I don't know if I'll have a new door today? My deductible is $250, he said that's all I'll have to pay.

That's about what happened to me. I could see the board, sometimes, but couldn't get into a thread. The main page was up all day though, as far as I could tell.

I hope this doesn't turn into a weekend problem.

Worked on a friends computer yesterday RC, worst case senario, he had a Pentium 75mhz that the CPU cooling fan had failed, the cpu got so hot, the heatsink is bonded to the CPU and I can't separate the two from each other, I've never seen that before, I didn't realize the earlier Intels got that hot, needless to say the computer is totaled, its about time for him to upgrade anyway, don't you think.

<A HREF="http://forums.btvillarin.com/index.php?act=ST&f=41&t=2541" target="_new">My Rig</A>

I'd say it's time to upgrade. You might freeze it to see if you could break it that way. Couldn't loose much either way! Sound's like he doesn't need much if that's all he's running though!

I'm running it on XP. I don't think it's the OS though. It puts a hurt on my TI4600. That's my feeling. I believe it over heats the card, even with the door fan blowing on it. I get a lot of artifacting after I'm playing awhile. I was wondering if I burn up the card if PNY will replace it? I doubt it.

I've never had a game put as big of hurt on what I'm running though!

Just cremate it! No need for services that way!!

I'm sure you've heard the saying: [-peep-] em all but 6, you need them for pall bearers. If your going to be cremated, [-peep-] em all!

Let me know what you find out. I'm running a gig of 3200 & I'm OCed to 2800 speed, I choke, but I feel it's the vid card.

FC got something going on with the discs. I tried to use Alcohol 120% to put the image on my HDD & it won't work for me. I've never seen Alcohol fail. Let me know if you can do it.

Well if Alcohol failed thats not good, I'll try Clone CD and see what happens, I'll let you know what happens.

///Do you install the control panel for that Quick Time? I downloaded the plugin & even when it's installed it still says I need a plugin. Do I need Media Player running when I go the the web site?



On the initial setup of the Quicktime plugin I activated the browser part, thats all I did differently than letting it install all by itself, and as far as I remember I didn't have Media Player running at the time.

Yes the forum was locked out for a bit yesterday I thought it was the bit on the Iraqi prisoners that got it shut down.

All I wanted to say was did you pull the emergency release on the garage door but could only get as far into the forums as the topics in each area like Other and CPU's.

Yes if you do the spring replacement on your own be very careful in fact if you don't know how it works exactly pay to have it replaced. Not worth having your arms snapped off like a twig or a torque bar jammed through the side of your skull.

Some springs are the lateral transverse type that need to be wound up those are real dangerous if you have never come across those before, even pro's hate those. The inline springs are not as bad but can still kick like a mule when you load the tension up on the cables.

Plus for a spring to fail like that there could be a mechanical problem some place else in the rails for the bogy wheels that the power opener draged the door down over but snapped the 5 inch tension spring.

I'm a full time Master Carpenter, that happens at the present time to be working on a project thats completely outside, Computers are spare time work and basically a Hobby for me right now, if all I did was repair computers, I'd probably hate it and be completely baldheaded, sometimes they can really test your patience. I'm also an Electrician but the Carpentry is where I get my most enjoyment, its a real gift from God to be able to create something beautiful from nothing, and leave it behind for others to enjoy, my most favorite Carpentry projects are extremely detailed stand alone finished units, like custom built Entertainment Centers, Gun Cabinets, different types of stairs, Spiral Staircases are my specialty, and sometimes outside things like what I'm working on now, a screen porch added to a nice Lakehouse, which is why I'm rained out today. I don't have any employees I do all the work myself, which sometimes is tough, but allows me to control the output quality of the project, but is really satisfying in the end because I don't have to share the credit with anyone either, and the customers I have know that, my business is completely word of mouth, with my customers screening who they reccommend me to, which saves me a lot of grief.

HAAAAAAAA i kinda thought so as you asked about tiein off , as most people wouldn't know that ha ha ha . I find out now , been on my mind awhile ever since you asked that . ...Well i was thinkin about puttin a deck up out side , you could stay here ha ha ha . I am sorrta a perfectionist also , but on commercial jobs they want you to go so fast that goes by the wayside ha ha . Could have used you on a stack we put up about 25 years ago , used slip forms and only went up 598 feet . Now thats what i wouldn't wanna fall off of ha ha . Put up a scrubber unit on a power plant about 5 years ago , had guys from all over there , they come in with 150lb belts on , big 7/8 sleevers and every thing . Lost all them about 100 feet up ( 50% of work force ) , lost about 5% after 200 ft. . Makes a big differance ha ha . . I loved it when i was younger but will have to addmit , not as much now .
