Looking really nice Larry. When it's done, I think a cupola on top with one of these would be the nutz.

The overhead door is coming off Rattboy along with all the hangers and tracks...I want the overhead area open and uncluttered with lots of light. Not sure if I am going with a barn door type of thing or maybe a double french door....anyone know where I can find vintage looking swing out garage doors?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Larry, let me see if i can take a pic of the back of the barn doors i made for mine. Actually they are made with 1x8 pine mounted on 2x8 Z frame with 2 long hinges on each door. Work great, swing easy, and noooo sag. will take some shots tomorrow if you want.

Larry here are some shots of how i did my doors. The only problem i have with the swing outs is unless you close them all the time, they do get stained from the rain. You can get auto closers though. Hope this helps.
