congrats and have a blast with your new toy.
it was probably me that you're referring to that got a quote of 5k to enlarge my garage door opening. It must just be something out here in NV cuz I've gotten quotes ranging anywhere from 5k-10k to do the job properly. For that amount of money I could have a second garage built. The problem as it's been explained to me is that the garage is the ground floor of a 2 story home thus the outside wall is a load bearing wall that you can't simply cut 6-10 inches out of it without reinforcing the opening with a steal beam. Or so they say. Frankly I think it's BS but after 5 different contractors have all told me nearly the same thing I'm sort of stuck short of importing someone from another state and in that event I doubt it could be done for $800
