I was tasked with a "simple task" of putting new bulbs in the dual garage door, opener. The single garage door is easy peasy to change bulbs.
The lifter motor is up too high to use the step stool, so I had to get the Macan out of the way, and park the El Camino pretty close to my 911 and stand in the bed to access the top screws of the bulb cover.
The bottom screws had a combo type of hex head or flat screw tip type of screw. So I dug out the hex driver. The top screws were Phillips screws. WTF?
No doubt the old bulbs have been in there a while, and both were burned out and both were old incandescent bulbs. In went new LED bulbs, and finagle the cover back on. Without a handy El Camino I would have had to get into the storage building and get the ladder.
I remembered it was a silly easy job, but the moving the cars around and the different heads on the screws made it more complex than necessary.
Now that side of the garage lights up when the door is opened. The wife is happy again.
Happy wife, happy life.
