If you are like me, you are interested in ways that you can make your own things around the house and you probably are interested in doing your own repairs.
Whether you are in the middle of a bad economy or not, there is nothing wrong with wanting to save a few dollars and nothing saves money faster then doing your own repairs around the house.
After all, contractors can easily run several hundred dollars above and beyond the price for the parts alone.
I have handled installing a garage door on my own once before.
Well, I should say on my own because I did have a friend with me.
This is certainly a two man job at least as garage doors get heavy rather fast.
Having the extra hand will ensure that the job goes a lot faster, that it is done right, and that everyone is safe.
Since installing a garage door should not take more than a couple of hours, you can probably ask a friend or a neighbor to come over and give you a hand.
It is important to make sure that you are reviewing all of the instructions before getting started though.
Even though the steps are fairly simple, I find that it is best to know them all before you get in the middle of the project.
It will really run much smoother that way.
If you know someone who has installed garage doors before, it would probably be in your best interest to have that person help you.
Having their advice or expertise could save you a lot of time and frustration.
