- diy vs contracting-out

- upgrading garage door to include/insert windows in (select) panels (diy - how to; ease and cost)- increases and provides, natural light source; safety; more pleasant as a work-space;

- pros-cons buying insulated door, vs non-insulated;

- choosing least-maintenance new garage door

- replacing: need to replace hardware (frame etc) too, or just panels?

- starting at top vs starting at bottom

- can it be done solo by person of average
strength and lifting capacity, and, without special tools (just with hammer, nails, screwdrivers, drill, level, manual saw - need anything else?)

- can I make my own wood panels and just replace individual (all) panels?

- how, where exactly, and with what, does one weatherstrip a garage door? is it the door itself that is weatherstripped, or the frame?

- best stuff to use to seal cement floor, to make it easier to take dust and dirt off, and so said junk adheres less to floor; and, to make it nicer-looking and brighter in garage!
