Y'all, this is an AWESOME GIVEAWAY. Seriously AWESOME. First off, anyone remember the trouble I had with our garage doors last summer? To make that long story short, that horrid garage door company NEVER made things right with us. I reported them to the Better Business Bureau and they...did nothing either.
Turns out my dad was able to make the faulty garage door opener they gave us work. He's all amazing like that. And free.
So, for the past few months, we've had one working garage door opener. The other side just had a bad garage door opener attached to the ceiling, but not attached to the door. Like so:

Everyone's dream come true, right? Okay, not so much. What IS a dream come true is this new LiftMaster with MyQ Technology garage door opener that appeared at our house last week.

Y'all, I've never been so excited to park in the garage before! We haven't parked in our garage much since moving in here, but now that we have this new garage door opener for the side the van can more easily fit into, I'm ALL OVER IT.

And, quickly, while I'm singing the praises of this new garage door opener, let me just give a giant hat tip in the direction of Trotter Overhead Door here in Oklahoma City. J.D. spent a total of 45 minutes, taking off my defunct unit, installing the new one, and going over all the details of it with me. And, incidentally, one of the remote units did not work which he figured out when he was explaining it to me. He quickly searched his truck for a new one and couldn't find one, so promised he'd bring me another one soon. I almost got a little shaky because of my prior experience with the garage-door-company-who-shall-not-be-named, but then he remembered he DID have one in his truck and went back again. Presto. This one worked.
So, what's so great about this garage door opener? I mean, besides the obvious fact that IT WORKS? Watch these informative videos and check all this out:

Isn't technology amazing? I've used this little feature way more than I originally expected to. I. LOVE. THIS. LIFTMASTER. I totally wish I could win this giveaway so I could replace the garage door opener on the other side too. *grin*
