Garage Remodel

Actually just the door. When I bought the house it had a 7 foot by 8 foot swing up door. This was replaced in '87 with an aluminum roll-up door. Which I immediatelt backed into with the truck and dented. Thing is, the garage has a peaked roof and I had no access to the upper part of the garage when the door was open. I need that space for storage of large bulky items such as bug fenders, seats, etc.
So I ripped off the old door. Went and bought four 24" wide six-panel wood doors and hung them as a pair of bi-fold doors. Cut and reused part of the roll-up door track along the top front to keep the ends of the doors on the line of the opening. Worked out nearly perfect.

Since I had the access to the upper reaches of the garage I built, along one side and under the peak of the roof, a 32 inch wide shelf, the bottom of the rail being 6'3" off the floor so that even Wendy can walk under it.
