Should I replace my garage door opener myself?

I think I see a broken plastic piece around the gear that moves the chain. That's why the chain won't stay on now. Should I replace the garage door opener myself or get installation.

The door opener that broke is a Stanley 1/3 horsepower. I went to Home Depot and they don't have that brand and they don't have anything with 1/3 horsepower.

The model of my garage door is Crafsman 1/2 hr 139.53975srt1. Please help.

Ok, so I'm 17, and so is my boyfriend, Adam. I've been going out with Adam for almost two years, now, but I've known him since second grade (We're seniors). He's the nicest, sweetest, funniest person I know, and he's gotten me through the worst parts of my life, and always been there for me, and I really, really love him. (And please don't say I can't love him just because I'm young.) Well, we've both always been really good kids; never drank, or smoked, or done drugs, or partied. We're also both virgins, as I only had one other boyfriend, and he had only one other girlfriend before we went out with each other, and those relationships were short and not very serious. I've been raised very strictly, and was always told to wait to have sex until marriage, but I've come to believe (after a LOT of thinking; trust me) that you can have sex before marriage, as long as you really love the person. Adam sort of shares the same beliefs as me with this, and has voiced that he wants to lose his virginity to me, and that it's hard to resist, but he won't push me if I'm not ready. He's always really respectful, and he's never tried anything with me.

Lately though, I've been thinking I'm ready to take our relationship further. Whenever he kisses me, I want to tear his clothes off (and sorry to put that so bluntly, but I don't know what else to say. lol). Last night, he was at my house, and my mom went out shopping. We started making out downstairs, and he had pulled off his shirt, as well as mine, and my bra. We went upstairs to my room, and he stripped me down to my underwear, and I know he was really hard, because I was sitting on his lap. I got his jeans off, and his boxers, and I ended up giving him a bl*wjob. He started taking my underwear off, but just then, we heard the garage door open, and we had to throw our clothes back on quickly before my mom came in. Now I can't stop thinking about it... About his face when I pleasured him. I can't stop thinking about it, and sorry again, to be so blunt, but I've been continually getting off just thinking about it all day. I really wanted things to keep going last night, but there was no time, so now I'm really anxious for the next time we get the chance. I'm sort of shy about initiating things, even though I'm totally comfortable around him, and so I'm worried that he won't initiate sex, because he's SO respectful that he'd worry he's pushing me into it. So my question is, how can I initiate it when I'm so shy about it? Any pointers? What should I do? Do you think he might take the initiative now, as things have changed a bit?

Pulled the manueal release by accident. Chain moves but trolley does not. Hook from door fell loose but is still attached to door. This is a Wayne Dalton garage door opener. Any ideas???

Painting a garage door – what kind of paint?

This is a wooden garage door currently painted grey. New beige siding has been installed so would like to paint two single garage doors beige to match. Should we use oil based paint, and if so, why, or could we use the spray on type?
Why is primer necessary? Have done lots of interior painting but not outside painting. When we've had our house painted exteriorly-speaking I don't think anyone has ever used primer.

We have a Sears Garage Door Opener, and during the mid afternoon the door will not respond to either the remotes or the door closer in the garage. It just starts blinking and retracts back to open.

I am sure that it is the sunlight that is causing the problem, but we have already tried some of the normal fixes for that problem. Here is what we have tried, with no luck:

1) Replacing the sensors
2) Realigning the sensors
3) Toilet Paper rolls around sensors (to block out sun)

Aside from replacing the whole system, I am not sure what else to try.

Anyone have any good suggestions to fix this problem?

what does this dream mean..?

I had this dream years ago but im still thinking about it...Why you ask? Because it happend. I was asleep and had a dream that when i got up for work i first went to go turn on one of the lights in the house and i couldent turn it on, I tried other lights in the house and none of them turned on. I was so scared, so the dream ends.. This is the strange part I woke up (this part was not the dream but real) and i looked at the alarm clock and it was 5 mins before i had to get up. I was still scared from the dream that i ran to the closest light in the house and tried to turn it on ( the same light i went for in my dream) it didnt turn on just like the dream i tried other lights and they would not turn on i got my stuff and ran out the door... later that day after i got off work i came home and all the lights i turned on they were on????? here is the strange part the day before i laid out all my work stuff so i could just grab it and go..I never do that, also i know that it wasent a power issue because i was able to open the garage door to get my car out and leave....So what does the dream mean why was i so scared about the lights not turning on and why did it happen?
I could beleave that the wireing was bad but it has been years since it happend about 7 years to be exact. I havent changed anything in the house and nothing has happend since.. Why did i dream about it happening, why did it scare me, why did it scare me in my dream and why did i prepare for it the night before as if i knew that was going to happen? idk I know that its very odd but i cant get it outta my head. It was just so bizar.
