Yeah, my garage door made an awful noise and all I could think was "oh s***!", but luckily no damage done and it opened and shut. Phew!I just love Indiana weather, one week we get 14" of snow, the next week its in the 60'sF with 4" of rain. At supperTuesday nightit was 48F with thunderstorms, IN JANUARY (not a normal occurrence) and an hour later it was 34F and when I got up it was -2F. Then I got called into work at 5am. I hit the garage door button and the garage door didn't move, it was frozen to the garage floor from the rain and the ice when the temperature dropped. I hit again to turn it off and went outside to my car through the front door.
My wife went to a job interview later that morning hit the garage door opener and thought it wasn't working since the door didn't come up. A few minutes later she heard a noise in the garage and found a fist sized hole in our wooden garage door where the bolts had been.
I call the insurance company (in Texas) and had a fun time trying to explain how a garage door can be frozen to ground. It took me 3 times before they understood. Then Ifind out there's a $500 deductible and the first estimate is $495.
Just gotta love Indiana weather!
