Can a UPS designed for a home office work for a residential garage door opener?

Question by questionmarkinthedark: Can a UPS designed for a home office work for a residential garage door opener?

The only door to my garage is the one opened by the garage opener. I want to store my earthquake supplies in there, but if the power is out, I won't be able to open the door to get inside the garage. The garage door opener manufacturer does not offer a battery back-up option. If I can open the door from the outside just once, then I could pull the emergency release and open/close the door by hand. It's getting in the garage the first time when the power is out that's the problem.

Two options. First, you can have a vault release installed in your door. It's a keylock that enables you to disengage the door from the opener in the event of a power outage. Any garage door company should be able to help you.

Second, you can replace the opener with one that has a battery back up. Chamberlain makes a good one (also branded as Sears and Liftmaster) that uses a DC motor, and has a built-in battery backup that will run the door for at least 24 hours.

Feng Shui question – My new office is built-in furniture than can’t be moved. My back faces the door.?

Question by donnamz812: Feng Shui question -- My new office is built-in furniture than can't be moved. My back faces the door.?
I've read you should always face the door so you can see people walking in, but the built-in furniture doesn't allow me to do that. How do I feng-shui this type of office?

Actually you don’t always have to face outside when seated. There are many directions you can face but it will best be determined by the precise “flying stars table” of your room, which will need lengthy description though.

However, without knowing exactly how your room is positioned, the simple fact that you’re sitting with your back facing the door is – 9 out of 10 times – inappropriate.

Depending on how exactly it is, it’d be best to put a petition there blocking the space between you seat and the door so as to give yourself some “back support.”
