    But lemme tell ya, about 4 years ago my wife backed in to the garage door while closed, that was a fun night, lol. Me and a couple buddies beat it back into shape (kinda) and stuck it together with bubblegum and some rusty wood screws. Yeah now she has a new car with a camera and sensors, and auto braking, but I still am hesitant to replace the door. Just cheap I guess, plus it still kinda works.
    It was $1500 to replace my 9'x7' door and opener with an insulated door and a nice liftmaster opener. Not cheap but not outrageous either. I woulda just replaced the opener that failed but honestly the door was from 84, barely kept snow and rain out, more dented than our work trucks, and wasn't worth trying to fit a new opener to.

    I’d advise assisting your boss to see the problem himself and how it affects his bottom line ($$$). If action is his idea rather than yours you stand a chance at resolution.
    Agree with Legwound, tread lightly with this one. True with co- workers , I’ve been in situations and I turn around no one is there( they have all ran away like mice) and I’m stuck holding the ball.

    As stated above “assist “ and hopefully your boss will see and have a chat with her.

    Good luck L.

    I know I'm not an office guy but speaking up may put you in a bad position it sometime redirects attention to yourself - these things need to be approached with a lot of forethought and sometimes you come out looking like the problem - most people will sink their own ship - if it was me I would just sit back and watch the ship sink or sail and maybe have a little chuckle.
