Default Failing Garage Structure
I'm simply starting another thread on failing garages. This garage has been inching towards a failure for the last year. Anyone want to guess the fall date?

Good ones David.

8 more years on the first one.

First 14" wet snow storm.

The garage door will fall when someone tries to open it. The garage won't.

I hope I am around in 7-8 more years Wayne, and David will have to monitor it for the next 8 years.
Wow, you better stick around David.
