sorry to be confusing--the first door opener quit working after I replaced the battery. I had a second opener which also quit after replacing the battery. I now have two openers that no longer work. If your theory is correct, can you advise how to fix it? Thank you!

The size you quoted is not a standard size door. You'll have to talk to a custom garage door company should be able to help you design your carriage house look door.

OP, sorry for potentially derailing your thread but I have a question I really wanted to ask for a while. I have a disclaimer first. I do not have any education in architecture and I am not a visual artist of any kind so I do not have trained eye for those things. Here is the question: why in order to have well designed and attractive house we need to hide garage doors ( and televisions, and refrigerators, etc.). Why "there is nothing attractive about garage doors"? I get it if you are building house that recreates architectural style from an era when those things did not exists. But for more modern styles, what's wrong with them? For example, I find this house attractive and garage (doors) do not take away from that for me: https://blog.scoutandnimble.com/blog/home-reveal-mixed-mod-part-ii What am I missing?

We need to remove brick under bay window because it’s falling off, but the rest is ok. We’d like to replace it with something else and paint the red brick to match whatever material we use, possibly charcoal to bring out the dark in roof. Thinking either vinyl stacked stone siding, vertical siding or vinyl shake siding. Also should we do the whole window wall or just under window. I’d love to keep garage door & front door red but give it a fresh coat.
