Anywho, no pics here just some advice. DO NOT replace your bottom garage door seal in teh winter, worse job ever. I bet it's a 20-30 min job in the spring/summer, but with the cold it was miserable. Also buy a quality seal, the one I got from lowes is basically frozen solid in the cold so there are still some minor gaps on occasion when the door is closed.

I'm going to pick up a garage door threshold kit and see if I can improve my sealing quality.

Today I will be tackling a garbage disposal install.
garbage disposal isn't too bad, I suck at plumbing so mine was a nightmare.

I ended up using the rubber cement type shit on all the connections. My cuts weren't square enough and the compression fittings kept leaking and if i moved the pipes to fix one it would leak somewhere else. So I said Eff it and used the permanent stuff that I will have to cut out one day if I need to change it.

Take your time, measure you stuff like 10 times and try to make sure your pipes are perfectly square so those fittings work and seal.

good luck!
