Hi, I have a old 12' x 20' garage, the frame seems solid enought, but unfortunually the walls seem to bow out some what, I had a couple of poeple look at it, and what seems to be the answer other than tearing it down and building another, is to lift the garage, tear out the foundation and repour the cement, now apon further investigation, it seems that what ghappend is that when origonaly built the old owners had poured a cement floor and rested the garage on it, and then a few years down the road the cement cracked and to fix it, they just poured more cement inside the garage, not bothering to lift it. Now a lot more years down the road,what seams like two floors, both have cracked, and the one that was poured on the inside is pushing out the walls of the garage. I dug a couple of corners out and it seams like the cement goes about a little over a foot into the groung plus whatever crush stone they had used for a base, but I don't know if it's like that everyware? my question is would it be cheaper to tear everything down and build a new garage, or try to lift the old frame, anddig out the old floors and redo them. thank you

I have an Allister ARD 11A garage door opener, about '88 or '89(?) vintage that works sporadically. In fact, it doesn't work more than it works. But basically, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It may open, then not close, or it may work a few times, then not work, etc. There is both a remote and a wall switch to activate the door. The problem has nothing to do with the remote, as when the door does not work, it won't work either way. I spent awhile playing with it today, and found a few things out. There are 3 relays on the unit, and when I manually activate them by pushing on them, they work fine. I can push one, and the door goes up. I push another the door goes down. The third is for the light. So, the relays are fine. When it does not work, the appropriate relay is not getting activated. Maybe I'm on drugs, but it seems like it barely works in the summer with hot, humid weather. What can make the door work so sporadically? :confused: Having the door work has become more important lately because I just got a new convertible that is going to displace all the sports equipment that is in the garage now. ;-) Thanks.
