Vertical Door Opener
Dishwasher too wide--can I cut 1/4" of cabinet so it will fit?
Our new dishwasher *almost* fits in the space our old dishwasher was in. We need just a little bit more space on the side so the door can open smoothly. I'd like to cut about 1/4" off the vertical edge of our cabinetry to allow more width space for the dishwasher. Has anyone done this successfully? What tool should be used? A router?
The very best option would be to take the screws out of the back of the cabinets and top and move them to the required 24" space for the dishwasher.
The next option would be to cut the lip off of one or both of the two cabinets. It is very difficult to field cut the cabinet and make it look good, so I would suggest using a Roto-Zip with a cutting bit, (looks like a drill bit), and then trim out both sides with the same species and color wood trim.

How Does A Garage Door Opener Work?
Oftentimes, we take for granted things that we use every day. A Garage opener is simply a motorized device to conveniently close or open your garage. Most switches controlling this device are installed on the garage wall. There can be also remote controls that owners carry in their car. This is a simple but ingenious invention. Moreover, the future looks very promising for the to door industry in this modern world. From the oldest garage door made of wood to steel door to doors made of synthetic materials, and the evolution goes on. Today, garage doors are not left exposed or open all the time because of security-related issues. But have you ever wondered how does a garage door opener work? What goes behind flipping a switch and clicking the remote?
This is somewhat technical. The various parts included in your door opener include springs, tracks, brackets and the drive mechanism. These parts must work together to allow your garage door to close or open smoothly over and over again. To begin the process, the switch or flipper must be flipped. A signal to close or open the door is then sent to the drive mechanism. Next, the springs will swing into action. The springs will tighten up to open the door and loosen to close. The springs are considered as the most important part. They must be powerful and under very high tension since that gives the strength to lift the door's weight. Upon looking at your garage door, you will observe a set of springs on each side.
What they call extension springs are those mounted on either side of your door. The mechanisms of these springs are not strong enough as compared to another type of spring called, the tension spring. The tension spring can be dangerous though if tampered with. It winds up into a loop or coil. As its name indicates, the tension spring holds a tremendous amount of tension.
The other significant parts include the bottom brackets, cable drums, horizontal and vertical tracks. The smooth operation of garage door depends on this hard ware. All these parts are designed to work together. Keep it well-maintained as well. You can oil the bearings and it is recommended to spray WD-40 on the springs regularly.
The last part is the drive mechanism. There are three types of an actual motor drive such as the belt drive, chain drive and screw drive. Most people go with the belt drive. It is the most expensive amongst the three types, but it is durable and has a smooth and quiet operation. But make sure your rollers are properly lubricated because belt drive has a tendency to slip. In the contrary, the most affordable is the chain drive system. The screw drive mechanism is not that popular and is used the least because it is slow-moving and gets very noisy over time.
What type of garage opener can reciprocate the value for your money? You can choose whatever type of door opener to purchase: the much quieter belt drive, cheap but durable chain drive, or the slow-moving screw drive. On top of everything, if you have an automatic door, then you will surely love both the convenience of a good garage door opener and of not having to get out of your car during that horrible, stormy weather just to open the door.

I think there is an easier way than turning your phone into a remote. Take one of the extra remotes, build a little holder for it on the ceiling of your car, and mount it there. That way you will always have a remote with you AND it is remote.
Try it.
Now THIS is cool -
