Removing the garage door

I spoke to Bruce during the week and he decided that Thursday was best for him to come over an dismantle the garage door for repairs. The panels were 8ft across and about 2ft high. It takes four of them to complete the door. Anyway, there was no way he could get them off by himself, so he was waiting for me when I got home from school at about 3:30.

One of the problems was that Mario and Melodie's car is in the garage and there was minimal area to move to get the necessary bolts undone, as well as the fact that the panels could fall and damage the car. Nigel, one of the young guys from downstairs hadn't been able to move his car and it was parked outside the garage. Even if we could get the garage door up enough to move the car out of the garage there was nowhere to go. Bruce lives about 60 km away and decided to bring his smaller car to save on gas, but realised that he was going to have to take the panels away to repair them. 2 reasons: 1 - it was too cold to work on them outdoors - he has a big undercover work area at home and, 2 - he would probably need to take the panels in to a workshop at his old school to fix them.

I suggested that I take the seats out of my van and take them in that. He had kindly brought chilli and salad for dinner, so we sat down to eat and then we were off in the fog again for the trip to Langley. Bruce and Patty live on 4th Street. That means that it is only 4 streets away from the US border.
