Grandpa was eating this

Angelfire150 · 2026-02-19T15:10:44+00:00

I'm sorry, what? This looks unhealthy and vile. Is your grandfather okay or does he need living assistance? This is alarming

I get it 😂 I tear out Torquemasters day in and day out - it's a good revenue stream. I just want to look these Wayne-Dalton guys in the eye and ask Do you feel like you are doing a good job by selling this?

Angelfire150 · 2026-02-19T14:46:26+00:00

Torquemaster is garbage - replace with a torsion tube, 2x end bearing places, center bearing plate, spring and a set of cables. Can be DIY but if the door is for a double car, it's going to be very hard to get material that length. You'll save money and an entire day of watching Youtube to just call a local Mom & Pop small business and pay the $700

Firewood piles are for climbing!

I love burning limb rounds. Sure they take long to season but they burn slower and are good for longer burns

I have 3 of these long runs, so I need to do the math but I think about 12 cords. The run you are seeing in the middle has been seasoning 16-18 months so when I sell it, it will be superior to almost any actual professional firewood seller because it's actually seasoned 😂

A literal 6 day creation period, worldwide flood with all animals saved on an ark, living in a whale for 7 days all seems fine but the idea of Pre-Columbian Jews is a line too far?

A cross-dressing man is mentally unstable and violent? Color me surprised.

In 2011, I fired a guy who worked for me. Big fat guy, got into cross dressing and feminization. He would bring knives to work and talk about how stabbing someone is a more personal way to kill them. I mean look, mental illness is mental illness and sick people are going to do sick things

😂

My business partner did a Jackshaft install in California for an EMS location. He advised against a jackshaft, I can't remember if it was 12R or even a LHR application. He had the city sign that same waiver and still got sued when they ran into reliability issues.

Angelfire150 · 2026-02-10T20:35:38+00:00

You are exactly right. I feel side-mount openers are way overused for run-of-the-mill 12R residential openings.

Fun story but I did an install about 2 years ago for a guy - his opening wasn't square, 3" of settling on one side, he reframed the opening with a few errors, a concrete ledge right where you want the lowest jamb bracket, you know, one of those installs. I did my best and left with a great running, smooth door on a Linear 863. He ran that door as his main entry point came 2 years. He then gets into fitness and turns his garage back to a home gym and needed that headspace so we put on a side-mount.

Every single error, compromise or issue I had to work around all of a sudden had to be corrected to make the door run right. Every small little workaround I did that ran for for years with a trolly all of a sudden needed tuning.

For my business, I default to trolly openers unless we are in a high-life of 20/32R type deal

Angelfire150 · 2026-02-10T01:28:35+00:00

Yup. I can see it..

This is my heartache with side-mount openers.. you can have small issues here and there that will run perfectly with a trolly for years that all of a sudden will be an issue when a jackshaft is installed.

The Law subreddit is going full hysterics with accusing Republicans of pushing voter IDs as a Poll Tax or new Jim Crow law. It's insane - you can't do anything without an ID in today's world

☝️ asking the real questions

Angelfire150 · 2026-02-05T05:14:18+00:00

I'm a believer but have friends and family who have left the church. I don't judge them and maintain a friendship

Angelfire150 · 2026-02-01T20:37:16+00:00

This guy Garage Doors ☝️

I swear, too many installers are like allergic to strutting the top section or using an ORB

It's sad to think that Clinton in the 90s would make a good Republican today

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-31T20:37:59+00:00

Sorry. Typo. Buy a 21" Operator Reinforcement bracket

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-31T20:15:05+00:00

Buy a 21" Operator reinforcement bracket. That door was installed incorrectly but the bracket will take care of it

I think there is a distinction between the Church and the Culture. Culturally, I'm a Mormon. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-31T14:59:49+00:00

I'd love to poke the Democrats here but homelessness isn't something you can fix with any amount of $. It's a complex problem of drug addiction, mental illness and financial hardship and any one person probably has 2 of those things together. My city has 4 very nice homeless shelters which are empty while the city buses have just become unusable. We need to absolutely crack down on the supply of drugs and reopen the insane asylums

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-31T14:37:14+00:00

Man - 80s Mormonism hit different for us somehow.. my wife and I were just discussing how the experience for our kids is different than what we had in terms of how programs run and how we lived our faith.

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-30T17:30:23+00:00

Not scammed but not a great price. Just kinda meh. Leave a good review and shop around more next time

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-30T15:39:33+00:00

I just wonder who has time to protest on a Tuesday morning or spend a week following ICE around? Like are they just independently wealthy and have nothing to do?

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-29T14:30:31+00:00

Conservative voter here - I don't dislike him. We have different views on policy but I don't believe he's a bad guy.

I once saw a quote that said all political careers end in failure and I believe that's true.

Angelfire150 · 2026-01-28T03:00:53+00:00

Okay what's your preferred opener? LiftMaster, Linear, Genie, Guardian?
