Project #4 this summer. New Garage Door(s)

Only one of our garage doors currently opens, the other has to be manually lifted.  To complete this project will will need to also get a garage door opener for the larger of the two doors.

We plan  to get a new large energy efficient door to match the existing small door.  The large door is not insulated and lets considerable amounts of cold air in during the winter months.

the second part of this project is to turn these standard garage doors into faux carriage doors by using a commercially available kit.  The picture above is magnetic hardware attached to a standard garage door.

We will also purchase magnetic window kits for the look of a window on the door as well.  I have no idea how it will actually look when everything is said and done.  I hope it looks fairly real.  Skymall has a really nice "carriage" door kit.  That's a picture of it to the left.  I can only hope that it actually turns out like this.
