Old door replacment

So a customer of mine just purchased this house and the garage that he currently has is a lift and over/single piece door. He is wanting to replace this with a sectional door with torsion spring and operator. The question being this garage has an odd opening. I need to determine what kind of set up I will need to make this work.

Opening- 8’x6’10”
Header spacing on inside above opening- 12”
Left spacing to opening- 16”
Right spacing to opening-10”
Ground to top of the block- 7’10”

My thoughts are to go with a LHR track set up with a trolley op and a 8x7 door. Would this work? Or could a standard track work? I would also have to replace the anchoring 2x6 pieces due to splitting.

Possible to replace tilt up with sectional?

Customer of mine is looking to replace their outdated tilt up door with a sectional door with torsion spring and operator. Question is if this is possible with the current framing/spacing? I normally am not installing residential but commercial, so I have little knowledge on a tilt up. I have yet to put eyes on this door myself but the customer is telling me the opening is 8’x6’10”. Which also isn’t common. Unless he measured incorrectly or size is custom.

Red light runner (almost)

So I just recently got the 14.3.3 update for FSD a couple weeks back and it’s been rather good, then last night I received the 14.6.7 software update. I haven’t noticed any big changes but for some reason every day at this exit the car decides it doesn’t want to use the curb lane to turn while still red and when it is in the lane it goes into, it decides it wants to turn anyway!

The only lane that can turn on red is the curb lane. 3 days in a row I’ve had to disengage due to the car wanting to turn. There is a sign on the stop light that states turn only on red from curb lane .

Two questions
• In the update notes for 14.3.3 it is saying better understanding of traffic signs?
• mitigating unnecessary lane changes?

Both of these were supposed to be better in this update but it seems worse even when trying to signal the lane you want it stays and it doesn’t understand what lane it’s in and is attempting to disregard traffic lights.

Impressive FSD!

One thing I’ve always wondered is how FSD knows in split second what to do and how it determines its next move(sometimes good and sometimes bad). I had a ‘20 M3 and now to ‘25 M3. I haven’t received the newest 14.3 update yet but I’ve seen a very mixed bag of opinions on the newest version.

Seeing how the car handled all 3 situations in real time was just so cool. As far as the police directing traffic, not sure if that had a part to play or if it was just following suit and copying the civics footsteps.

Speed test ATT vs Verizon

Look I know there are going to be many variable factors when it comes to speed tests especially carrier to carrier in same location vs where their towers are but given both phones were full bars and both on their respective +(AT&T) and UW (Verizon) along different models I figured I run some tests and see what the results were.

For reference of data
Verizon- iPhone 16
AT&T- iPhone 17 Pro

I understand these two are vastly different when it comes to hardware but with the technology in these phones nowadays, there isn’t a super wide gap like there used to be considering iPhones are performing relatively well even 2-3 years later. I completed a 5G speed test to compare the two carriers. Both phones were shut down and restarted. Both had no tabs open other than Speedtest.

Open for discussion or thoughts!

Best plan advice to save money but not sacrifice QoS

Looking to see what would be the best advice or plan to get through ATT. Recently switched and I think there could be better options on the table.

Current devices and plans: 2 phones, 2 watches)
We have 300 fiber and 1 line on unlimited premium and 1 line on 55+. Both watches are paid off and the phones were paid off when we switched to ATT.

Just wanted to see what everyone is paying or what plans/deals to maximize quality and data without paying an arm or leg(deals, promos, discounts)

I know there have been plenty of posts about this but I haven’t come across any definitive answers.

My two questions are

  1. Does the highland models 24+ have any speakers “disabled” like the older base models had and can they be enabled like they could in the previous models with harness mods that were out there for them.

  2. If there is no additional speakers that are disabled, is it possible to use the cut outs in the trunk where the subwoofers in the higher trims would be, is there a empty plug where a subwoofer would plug into like they used the same harnesses between trims?

From everything I’ve seen it seems people are modifying and splicing into wires for audio and I’m trying to avoid any modifications that could be visible if I ever had to take in for service. Just wanted to see if anyone has tested or checked if adding a sub and connecting into factory harness if applicable or if there was a mod like old models to “enable” extra speakers if they were present.

We just recently switched over to AT&T from Verizon after having them for close to 25 years! We have never had any other wireless service otherwise. We had some mishaps with switching which I believe has been resolved but time will tell when a bill arrives.

My question is how has everyone’s experience been with AT&T whether you have recently switched or been with them for a while? If you came from Verizon as well, were there any issues or complaints or regrets? Our bill with Verizon was $232 (2 phones, 2 watches) when we had Fiber installed by AT&T I was interested if maybe now is the time to switch phone carriers. Our bill now with Fiber is around $150-160. Considering our Verizon bill was $232 and internet prior was $40, I consider this a no brainer.

But just wanted to see what everyone else has experienced or anything to look or watch for. I am also in central OH, so if you are also in Ohio and have service coverage experience I’d like to know how it compares to Verizon. TIA!

Recently moved two phones and two watches to AT&T since we got their fiber internet and had the 55+ plan available along with the 20% signature discount, it seemed too good to pass up. The issue I am coming to realize is the data speeds at which I’m receiving since switching are abysmal and horrible doesn’t matter the time a day. I know this is due to the priority data plans.

My question is if we signed up for the 55+ plan and I want to upgrade my line to say the Premium 2.0, is this going to affect our plan and whatnot as it pertains to the bill? I read that the 55+ plan was for two phones and two wearables. Just want to make sure before I switch my plan if it will just increase the bill by what I do to my plan and not the whole bill since there would only be 1 phone then on that plan.
