So today, I took the Z to the quarter car wash got home put it in the barn did a quick spray wax & tire shine, looking great!
Took a shower got ready for work, leaving on time, went to open the barn door & only opened 2ft. :icon14: tried again :icon14: looked up & sure enough, a broken spring :wtf: I undid the lift mechanism, lifted the door by hand from the center, walked with the door lifted over my head, hand over hand to the side, shoved a screw driver in the track, backed out the Z went to lower it & ( drum roll ) it won't go down all the way :shakes head: the cable on the roller jumped & tangled :mad: untangled it, lowered it
Got in the Z drenched with sweat, beat it to work and was only 10 min.late :happydance:
Replacing both springs tomorrow

On the positive side, at least the door didn't fall on the Z.;)
