I believe Craftsman garage door openers are made by Chamberlain, which makes my Lift Masters. Same thing happened to mine, twice. First time, both door openers had failed mother boards and photo eyes. I replaced all bad components to the tune of $250. Thinking it must have been a power surge, I installed two surge suppresors. The very next year the same thing happened. I also noticed that one of the photo eye mount bolts was discolored, like it was spot welded on the shank. I called the company direct in AZ and the lady felt bad and sent me both mother boards and photo eyes for the price of one. Along with that she sent me two lightning suppresors that were to be wired in to the mother boards. I installed all the new parts and it's been five years with no mother board failures. However, two weeks ago I happened to be in the garage during a thunderstorm and one bolt of lightning dropped real close and I heard a loud snapping sound in the corner of the garage. The receiving photo eye of one of the doors went dead. I replaced the photo eye and all is working again. Maybe the lightning suppressor protected the mother board this time? I'd like to know where and how the lightning stray volts are getting to the photo eyes. Anyway, I would sugggest installing the lightning suppresors. They're very easy to install and are very inexpensive. Dave

I went through the same thing, in my case the drain line was leaking. The location of the leak was identified and they fixed it by tunneling under the slab. I know of other individuals that had jack hammering done, key to jack hammerting is to seal off the area and get very good professionals to repair afterwards. The source of the leak has to be identified first, it may not be under the slab but a leak in say the tub, shower etc.

And then there was Roy Sullivan, Shenandoah National Park Ranger, who was struck by lightening 7 times, and is in the Guinness Book of Records. Roy and his family were friends of my family and our two children. My DH was a high school teacher, and also a seasonal park ranger. We heard about Roy's lightening strikes first hand, when we visited back and forth, and also at ranger picnics, etc. He was a fine gentleman. He raised bees, and our daughter loved honey. She would bake cakes for him and he would bring her honey. That all seems like so long ago now. You can find him on a number of Google sites. Some say he died of a self-inflicted gunshot. I will never believe that. As often happens, there is more to the story. Sue

I always love blue but I also really love the canvas color in your kitchen because it looks so nice with your counters and cabinets. Like HIWE said “you can add blue accents on the counters.”
