Up until a year or so ago, I was using a garage door that had to be manually raised and lowered. The garage door opener that had come with the house had broken a long time before, and I'd just gotten used to raising and lowering it myself. However, I was starting to feel too old to do all of that work every time I left the house, so I began looking into new garage door openers. Imagine my surprised when I realized how high tech the garage door had become. These days, you can control them with your smartphone, and even open and close them remotely. I decided to start a blog all about garage door innovations for people who want to know more. I really like the garage door opener I ended up with, and I want to share my experience with others.
