Garage doors in Alexander

Alexander's terrain splits garage work in two: fertile farm bottoms along the French Broad, where river humidity and low ground keep moisture against bottom seals and steel hardware, and steep hillsides rising on either side of the river, where homes sit on sloping, often gravel drives. It is farm country — land irrigated by the many streams and creeks that run down to the French Broad — so barn and workshop doors are part of the local pattern alongside house garages. At 1,913 feet, Alexander is river-level, the lowest community in this group, but winter freeze-thaw still reaches exposed seals.
