I have a shed that is going on 24 yrs built by a local company after we picked the design. I try to maintain it by painting and replacing rotted wood (door trim). I recently got a new roof added 3 yrs ago thanks to my brother-in-law. He said the original never had tar paper. Luckily, there was no damage to the wood on the roof. In any case, the attached pics show the issue. On the bottom, the wood is beginning to rot. I have been trying to patch and paint but this is happening in each section. I think it is from water coming down off the roof and splashing up under and on the lower part. I am planning on putting gutters on so the water is channeled away from coming down the sides. Instead of replacing all the wood panel sections, since most of the middle and upper parts of the shed are ok, I was wondering if there is something cheaper than replacing several sections of what I think is some type of T1-11? I would like something that is about a 12 inches high that could be cut and place over the lower part where the wood is beginning to rot. thanks

I have cleaned and lubricated the door hardware and the door moves up and down easily by hand when disconnected from the drive. I have cleaned the sensors and unplugged the unit to reset. When I plug it back in, I am able to set the limits normally, although when setting the down limit the door moves slowly at first and then speeds up. After setting the limits, I use the wall button to save the force settings by cycling the door up and back down. When I hit the wall button, sometimes the door will open all of the way up, but will only go part way down and then get stuck. Sometimes it will only open partway. Once it gets stuck, it will only move a few inches at a time. The oblong led flashes red at that point. If I unplug again, the door moves up and down when I reset the limits but gets stuck again when I try the door switch. If I disengage the door carriage from the screw drive track and hit the wall button, the track moves about an inch and stops, and then moves back about an inch in the other direction and stops. There are no blinking lights on the sensors that I can see. Since the door moves freely on its own, there must be some issue with the mechanism. It doesn't make sense to me that I can move the door when setting the limits but not with the wall switch. I would expect that I couldn't move the door at all if there was something wrong with the power unit or the screw drive. Suggestions would be appreciated, LMHmedchem
