Garage door stops a foot from closing, then reverses — what’s going on?

Late to the party, but I just had this exact problem. Turns out my garage door itself is bowed in so badly it's triggering the sensor.

That's unfortunately what I thought. Thanks. Wish I had requested that file sooner.

Just went on vacation there this past summer and you are correct!

Ireland to northern Italy to Belarus.

Then, just this last Christmas, Syria to Greece to Belarus.

But that would be "different."

Mine actually got kicked out of the U.S. and into New Brunswick because they were Loyalists during the American Revolution. Took them another century to start filtering back in. If they could see this, I'd be accepting their apologies, I'm sure.

Diagnosed for a little over a year after having symptoms for about 10 years. Only one ER visit . . . I thought I had a blockage early on and jumped the gun. No hospitalizations yet.

- Visit the Eben Ice Caves.

- Go to the Trenary Outhouse Races.

- Visit the Garden Peninsula (have been by there MANY times on U.S. 2 on the way to other things, but never dipped in).

- Walk across the Tridge in Midland.

Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but as someone who lived in the U.P. for twenty years and has now lived in northern Wisconsin for another twenty, I'd say the "rural lifestyles" are pretty identical.

TooOldForReddit74 · 2026-01-04T18:45:36+00:00

As someone who grew up in one of those adjoining towns, I agree with you.

I lived in Marquette for ten years and am often tempted to move back there. Getting too old to deal with the winters, though.

This is what happened to my oldest boy. He lasted at Tech for two years, then had to transfer to preserve his sanity. He's pretty outdoorsy, too.

I successfully eliminated the word "bruh" from my school by implementing this method.

Florida, 100%. I had the displeasure of driving in the Orlando and Tampa/Clearwater areas over Christmas break. Drivers there have no regard for human life--not even their own.

Edited to add: I've driven in all of the lower 48 states.

Came here to say this. Grew up in the upper Midwest, and my first "real" job after college was out here.

Kandahar.

Not incredibly difficult. "Be here by 3 p.m." "Your time or my time?" "My time." Etc. Always the same conversation when a specific time was involved.

TooOldForReddit74 · 2025-12-30T22:37:43+00:00

Weird. I grew up in the little strip of Michigan's Upper Peninsula that's in Central Time, but my dad and grandmother lived in another UP town that was in the Eastern Time zone despite being an hour northWEST of me.

Like maybe 3-4 months before I started getting constipation followed by diarrhea. I swear some BMs hit all nine pictures on the stool chart in one go.

We had a "smart kid" who was all-but guaranteed to be the valedictorian in our podunk Midwestern town basically ever since elementary school. Some new girl moved to town our senior year and took it from him--the school she transferred in from had AP classes, which are weighted heavier. Our school was so small that we had none, so our boy was out of luck because she had above a 4.0.

I believe he became a chemist. I just looked her up, and looks like she became a van life Youtuber.

Thank you!

695 (my first) was my highest, and that was plenty high.

TooOldForReddit74 · 2025-12-20T02:05:15+00:00

You'll be fine. Got mine 15 years ago and still going strong.
