Went to Lowes this afternoon and picked one up. Got the Chamberlain
1/2 HP belt drive. Has everything I need and more. $198 Comes with the
outdoor keypad that I find very handy. It has two remotes, but I only
need one since I don't put the cars in the garage. I'll probably
install it next weekend.


That sounds like the one I installed here a year or so ago. You will
love the belt drive, it's very quiet. My brother who just installed a
Genie? screw drive heard mine and got ****ed off that his new one was so
much louder.


Both of mine are 25 year old chain drive. They are noisy as hell, but
when I replace them I want something noisier. I like to know when my
wife gets home... it gives me time to shut off the TV, get up off my ass
and look like I have been busy at something like emptying the
dishwasher.
