Subject:Re: will yours fit in the garage?

I had a standard 7' high overhead garage door that when open, only gave me
6'-10" clearance for my DC w/ roof rack & tilt which requires 7'-1 3/4". The
garage trusses were at 7'-2"!  I tore out the overhead door, &
built/installed a sliding barn type door that gave me the full 7'-2"
clearance I needed. Plenty of room for the westy which is lower than the
tilt-ed DC, but I can't jack up the DC w/ the tilt in place!

Pax,

Tom-now if I can just figure out how to automate the barn door w/ a remote?
