我裝修補過的東西。年代可能有誤,但不會差太多。
1. In 2002, installed two garage door openers.
2002 年買的地,看著建起來的新房,3個鄰居家的garage door opener都是professional裝的。室友說讓professional去裝,我說他們也是從裝第一次開始的。所以我自己裝了。照著opener的說明書,看著鄰居家裝好的樣子,用 stud finder找出哪裏有在dry wall裏麵的木頭, 鑽孔,把鐵條裝好,裝好放鏈子的柱子,鏈子,opener,開關,紅外發攝及接受器,key pads, programmed the code for remote controls。
