Dear Diary,
Today I decided what i should give myself for Christmas this year.
A new garage door!
I did this Wednesday night, and spent Thursday and Friday calling around to get estimates. On Thursday evening the Sears guy left his estimate in the door:
$1585.00!!
I about passed out!
Then I got the estimate from the guys at Action Door.
$657.00
Now, here's the thing. When I was calling around for ballpark numbers, almost $700 seemed like a horrifying amount of money. Now, after the Sears estimate, it feels a lot better. I took it like a shot!
I can only assume the Sears people do not want my business.

re: Sears Estimate - 15 years ago I called Sears for an estimate on an 10 x 12 deck replacement. They gave me an estimate of $24,000. Yes, that's right. At the time it was almost one quarter the value of the house. We had a new bathroom previously installed for 8K. Needless to say, we built it ourselves for 2K.
