I have a moderate amount of welding to get done, lots of grinding old steel, cutting and drilling to shore up my POS garage door.. I'm a repeat offender of leaving crap right in the path of the door so over the years and several crunch, crunch episodes the top has become deformed and several cracks have begun in the cheapo sheet metal. So...putting a long piece of angle iron on top, two smaller cross pieces below to attach to the bottom of the top panel and the next panel down and wider piece to act as the center strut to attach the garage door opener.. The problem is everything has become more heavy with my age and I'm not so happy about climbing ladders. And I'm not even sure if the old garage door opener will be able to handle the extra weight..Oh well..There's always tomorrow or the next day. I finally got the top piece clamped in place and it'll have to come back down to weld everything together then drag it all back up and bolt it in place. I should have just spent the money for a new garage door, but next year I plan to build new carriage doors and sh*tcan the POS garbage junk thin ass sheet metal door and the BS opener.. lol
