I have a one car garage on an old (1928) house and the door works ,but is rotting at the bottom. I want to replace the current door (standard roll-up type) with a barn-type double door. Would this be difficult to do and are there any places for plans on how to build such a door? Thanks!

Hi All! My driveway floods everytime it rains, and all the water seems to run toward the house and under the garage door, flooding my garage. I have a crew coming out sometime this week to install a drainage system for the driveway. My immediate problem is this: it is supposed to continue to rain all week, and I need a temporary solution to stop the water from entering the garage. Right now I am using sandbags on the inside at the door, and it stops a major portion of the water, however, the water still seeps in quite a bit. The water on the outside of the door gets as deep as 5 or 6 inches and right now there is nowhere for it to drain. I'm really at a loss as to what to do. Someone suggested putting a sump pump outside where the water collects the deepest, and when it starts filling up, start the pump and run the water through a hose to the drainage ditch out by the street. Does this sound feasible? Any help would be appreciated. I work full time and can't be home all day to watch, and fight the water coming in. I also have one room besides the garage that is on the slab. The first time the garage flooded, while I was at work, that room flooded as well. I really could use some help on this one (as usual)!!!!! Thank you in advance. Lynn
