It's like Christmas! (instead of Halloween)

I came home today and it was like Santa had come early.  Lo and behold, there was a shiny new garage door!


And if you are a real keener, here's the inside stuff:






I'm glad we chose to have Steelcraft install both the door and the opener we bought at Sears.  I opened the opener instruction booklet in order to figure out the remotes and keypad, and saw:

-a quarter inch of instructions (totalling 40 pages)
-16 "Warning" boxes
-8 "Caution" boxes
-5 assembly steps (4 pages)
-12 installation steps (15 pages)
-4 adjustment steps (4 pages)
-1 page of programming instructions
-2 pages of problem shooting
-2 pages of using the remote
-very large safety stickers to put on the door
-monthly safety checklists

Can you say, OMG???????  That would have taken us two days to figure out.  That is not an instruction booklet--that is a master's thesis in engineering.  I'd much rather be knitting or quilting than do that installlation.  Thank you Santa!
