Ah, the joy of living in an old house. We had a repair man come out today to fix our garage door, which happened to fall off the track on Saturday night. Not just a casual, easy fall, either - a metal-grinding, bolt-busting, pieces-flying-everywhere kind of falling off. It was quite scary trying to force it closed at 10 pm at night!
The repair man was able to put it back together for security's sake, but we were told it is no longer safe to use. In fact, it is currently unplugged so we aren't even tempted to push the button. We can push it - it just won't do anything if we do.
Yikes!
Now the search is on for a new garage door. Perhaps we can just have one panel replaced, but by the sounds of it, that is not likely.
So, the design-side of my mind is thinking..."Should we get a whole new door, maybe with windows along the top, or a different color to spruce things up for our curb appeal?" but the budget-minded side is thinking "Let's do as little as possible to get this thing fixed and working again." We'll see which side wins...

check out your neighborhood and see what others have, because you don't want to invest in an "over-improvement".
how long do you plan on living there? Sometimes the smallest changes, make really big differences...for resale or for just making you happy when you pull in to the house. But I agree with your mom too....don't over-invest/improve.
