Open and Shut: Look After Your Garage Door

Welcome to my blog, my name is Mike. Last year, I had the worst day of my life. I was just setting off to drive to work when I discovered that my garage door would not open. I pressed the button on my remote control, but the automatic opening system would not work. I switched the door to manual control and tried to lift it myself, but it was completely stuck. I had to call my boss and tell him that I was going to miss a very important meeting. He wasn't very pleased.
