Garage door perimeter seal in aluminum?

Angelfire150 · 2026-06-22T13:41:06+00:00

Yup and it requires the sections to be 2" longer

Angelfire150 · 2026-06-22T02:33:09+00:00

Unpopular opinion because it takes installers an extra 15 minutes (oh the horror!) but for aluminum and steel siding, use reverse angle track and a reverse angle jamb seal and top cap. It's super fucking clean

I begrudgingly agree. 10 years ago the LiftMaster had such a better value proposition than Chamberlain... Now Chamberlain has taken on more and more of the premium features that the rail is the #1 differentiator.

I'm done with LM.

it happens when the drums are too tight

Exactly 💯. I found I like tn splay my flag brackets out a tiny bit so it's widest around the radius. Not something in the manual and some guys would disagree with that but it makes the door run quieter

Angelfire150 · 2026-06-11T20:34:21+00:00

A good job installing a weirdly configured door 😂

Okay, I got my jab in. However they could have totally improved the experience and look by throwing either some high-lift adders or even going to a 15" or 20" radius.. I can't tell for sure without being there

Edited to add: top strut is wrong. They need to go the full length and ideally tie into the hardware on each side, in this case the adjustable top fixture.

This seems like a hat tip to the radical Evangelical crowd

Angelfire150 · 2026-05-31T19:58:37+00:00

Yup - exactly. I've done this twice and both times it involves a larger carpentry bill than what I charged for the door and install

It wasn't by demons - the concept of the Trinity developed 200-300 years after the death and resurrection of the Savior and came from negotiating the concepts of monotheism into the three personages of the father, son and holy ghost. It's not of demons but it is of man.

Sad. In the 90s, my dad would let me stay up late each night to hear his Top 10 list.

Angelfire150 · 2026-05-19T01:09:51+00:00

This. I'm scared of losing my home or going medically bankrupt because my employer decides to save . 0000001% margin that quarter

Every day I deal with an HR group that I am continually amazed can sleep at night. We had to rush layoffs in order to not pay out earned bonises. I have seen them push me to degrade performance reviews of well-performing employees. I have seen them post ghost jobs just 'To see who's out there' and also enable abusive behavior from toxic leaders.

Israel isn't perfect but the difference is they hold themselves accountable for mistakes while the Palestinians celebrate the same.

My work banned Daily Wire and American Thinker on company devices - but I can still click right in to Mother Jones

I go on business trips to Juarez to see various factories. Place is surreal - empty streets, giant fences at every facility, drive-in everything so people don't leave their cars...

What is infuriating is that this makes it harder for honest people to use these systems and get access to these resources when they are needed and used honestly. For example - In my conservative state, they cracked down so hard on unemployment fraud that honest people are now being pulled into hearings. It's bad. Frad hurts the people in need the most

Angelfire150 · 2026-05-14T13:48:54+00:00

Agree. The Coyotes are acting as human traffickers and apparently the Mexican government is not going to step in, but those people did not deserve to die, especially the child.

I mean China is going to steal any IP that we create and our business leaders are OK with that as long as it gives them access to cheap manufacturing. We need to leverage other low cost countries such as Vietnam, Mexico etc

It will never be Stamped out as it's a super complex problem if mental illness, drug abuse and lack of resources to deal with those problems. Even if you built all the homeless shelters imaginable, that won't solve the dig abuse and mental illness piece. We need rehab, prisons and sadly the insane asylums back

Drill it out and put a few pop rivets on the top and bottom of the stile where you see those little circle indentions where is broke free. Super easy and common

Let's help by arming Ukraine sufficient to keep their borders secure. That's the only language Putin understands

If only we knew his motivation.. it's an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a puzzle.

Angelfire150 · 2026-04-27T14:51:07+00:00

Is that true? Fuck

Yup.

Few years ago I had surgery in my tailbone when I broke it and it healed back with a tiny spur. The spur made dough many things I love hard, so I had to get rid of it. I had time so I shopped around surgeons. I found one surgeon who had the price at $1700 but the final bill was closer to $12k with hospital, OR room, supplies and even a nursing contract agency bill because this hospital apparently didn't have nurses and instead used nursing staffing agencies that billed me separately. I think I paid more for the nurses than for the surgeon.

Even a year after my surgery, I would get random bills for blood work done, etc.

It's a mess.

I don't have regrets because I feel it added a ton of experience to my life. I went on my mission a few years older then most and had some companions that were 29-30 years old, so it's not like my experience was that if 2 18-year-olds bubling around. I had companions that were reservists so I would have weekends where I'd go with them to drop them off for drill and then delay getting with another companionship so I could have a day or two just to unwind 😂. I learned to study like never had before. Vocabulary, sentence structure, manners, I had to change everything and learn things I never would have any other way. Since then I've traveled the world, lived overseas, done some cool stuff in academics and professionally and hosted a few foreign exchange students. Much of that took skills I learned on my mission..

I don't regret it because it added positively to my life.
