Following your own advice huh?
== When one has nothing to say, that's exactly what one should
say.
Regards,
Pop
I gave what I considered advice, and opinion. This was stated as
opinion and recommendation in my post. If you do not agree, that's
fine. If you have better advice or recommendation , that's fine. Give
it. opinion stated as follows
from my first post/reply
This opinion and suggestion is merely that.
Is it less condescending to admonish someone for their opinion stated
as such,......or to just give your opinion?
My original post was thoughtful, as you believe yours to be.
I asked a question to help me get more info to go about forming a
better picture if need be.
I offered an opinion as to what might be considered in further
discussion.
I am not only familiar with the garage door type the original poster
describes, I have practical experience.
What I offered, was an opinion. If it is not seen as such, that's
fine also..............just mark it read in your browser.
Hell,...............Just put my input on your KILLFILE
list..............I don't unserstand what makes your condescending
remarks any more helpful than the remarks I made , which you deem
condescending................They were not intended as such, and if
the original poster feels they are, I Personally apologize. I was only
trying to help.
Pop, plonk me and save your typing time if I so offend you with my
postings. Didn't your mother tell you to follow your own advice?
Your personal input is of little value as well.
The door type that is being described was generally built on site out
of simple lumber. 2X4's and Plywood normally. Simple things. The
hardware and hinges were the part that is not manufactured onsite. I
have not in my limited experience ever seen any such rule of thumb
applied to single piece garage doors ever, either one, or two car
sizes. The way they are built, it is next to impossible to "balance"
one for anything other than ease of operation. There is no "level" or
"height" of any part of the door to measure to "get it right", as they
are built almost in place and vary extremely due to building
materials.
It is difficult to open a one piece wooden garage door even for
healthy young folk. Even when they are "adjusted properly".
Now for a diagram and a Website that pretty much helps explain the
workings and adjustment, since I went ahead and did a search for
info..........Pop,...........you coulda done this too, but must have
been pre-occupied trying to be my mother.

Is this like your door mounting?
Step 11 shows a basic installation and adjustment arrangement and
explains the mechanism fairly well, Just from a picture.
The doors I dealt with years ago, were not exactly like this, but the
principles of the whole mounting and adjsutment were similar enough
that i won't try and confuse things with my OPINION. Thanks Pop.
It is my recomendation, that when you post help. You reply to the
person that posted................. Not to the reply posted to help
them.
There are enough people in life that want to be someone's mother that
are also as totally unqualified.
Something to ponder for all of the folks that happen to read this post
completely:
If you have a question ask it.
If you have an answer, give it.
If you have an opinion , OPINE,................
If you don't like what you read,............... Move on to the next
thread,.................It's only opinion!( throw in your opinion if
you feel the need, but don't expect it to be taken as gospel or
accepted without further comment,....yeah, start a flame war)
If you're looking to change the environment on newsgroups, keep on
trying, but be aware that it is futile.
