Thanks

Tomorrow I have an appointment with a door installer who will install a Clopay door with insulation, (r18) and thermo pane windows for $2,330. Seems fair to me.

My workshop is in my 2 car garage. The overhead door is as old as the house, 14 years. The door has no windows and no insulation. I've thought about having the top row replaced with a row of windows...
