I need a lift

We opted NOT to have Ryan put in a garage door opener. Main reason, it was a $400 upgrade, and I very well knew they arent that expensive. Went up to Lowes, got the top of the line model, with installation for $300. 2 favorite things about it -
1. The monitor. You can keep it up in your bedroom and if you are not sure if you shut the garage before bed, it tells you and you can shut it from there.
 2. Battery back-up. Nothing worse than when the power goes out, it raining cats and dogs, and you come home and have to get soaking wet because the garage door doesnt open.
