A quick trip to our local Home Depot netted us a nice Genie Excelerator Garage Door Opener. Since I'm not a "hardware guy" as many people know, we also purchased installation as well. Hopefully we can get someone out pretty quick to do this.
When I was pulling out of the driveway this morning, I was just lucky that something caught my eye as I was pulling away - the garage door was going back up. I pulled back onto the driveway and tried the garage door again. It goes down halfway, stops, and goes back up. Damn. Sure enough, our old track drive garage door opener is binding. After a few more tries, it's barely moving in either direction. Crap. Maybe the 18+ year old garage door opener should get replaced?
