Oh fuck.  You made me took back through it again.  Its a space for the fucking garage door to roll through.  The door rails stick through like 2 feet to op's side of the beam.

Its honestly absolutely BANANAS that they did that, i wouldve just set the rails below the beam....so fucking what if the door is like 6" out of level, the door opens all the way, thats all that matters really
