But three weekends into the process we have one garage door complete. Now let's hope we can learn from all the mistakes and it only takes us one additional weekend to get the other one up and running (or maybe only two weekends).
You may be asking why it took us 3 weekends to put up one door. Well that's because we have actually put up 3 different doors. The first door had a torsion spring, which couldn't be installed because of side clearances in the garage, this wasn't figured out until it was completely installed. The second door was too tall for the space, and we had to buy a ceiling clearance lowering kit. This again wasn't figured out till it was all installed. 
So the second weekend we installed the third door, and it took longer than normal because of the tight side clearances and low headroom.
The third weekend we installed the garage door opener. Which actually didn't go bad, except we still had problem with the door opening because of the tight side clearance. But by the end of the third weekend we have a functioning garage door. Except we can't seem to get the keyless entry pad to work, but then it's always something, and that can wait for another weekend.
Bella was gracious enough to hang out with us, as we put up the door. She had a comfy little spot on a sleeping bag with the fan blowing directly on her.
