Reminds me of the middle east....
That's awesome! You're right up the road from me lol...
Both sides of the garage door have damage from water coming through the seal and standing. I have fixed that part so water doesn't come in anymore.
The damage is the baseboard, sheetrock, and most likely there is some wood rot at the bottom of the studs and the 2x10 or whatever the edge of the garage door opening is. I have not cut the sheetrock back yet to expose the damage. We can replace the wood or scab some new pieces in?
Damage is similar but not as bad on the other side.

@mark23 hows the ladies sip and paint night going?
Doesn't look too bad- I'd go ahead and cut the bottom 12" or so of the sheetrock off to get a good idea of the wood. You can definitely scab some pieces on if it's bad.
If you have to fix studs, take the sheetrock off to about 4 feet.
I might be able to help with this... I was just going to send you some contractor names. But I've done all that work before.
Thanks man! I appreciate it!!!
Either way is fine, if you want to help, we'll knock it out, if you want to send some names, I can use them! I need to sell my house to buy my in-law's house and they're closing on their new one in 30 days. That last part kind of happened fast lol
Looking at it, the bottom plate looks fine... although that's the pressure treated piece. Studs usually aren't.
Call me tomorrow.
I noticed the bottom plate looked good. I wasn't aware the studs aren't pressure treated as well. Tomorrow I think I'm gonna go ahead and cut the sheetrock back and see what I'm working with. 60 days of phone calls hasn't gotten me anywhere so it's time to jump in with both feet!
