comment How do I install a garden door that's thicker than the wall?
I think I can almost make out what you are suggesting. It would be a lot easier to understand if you posted a hand-drawing of what you mean.

comment Is it possible to boost an electrical circuit for more current draw?
This is a fairly judgmental response for a do-it-yourself forum. Also, the statement "Nothing short of rewiring your home with a heavier gauge would solve your problem safely." is factually incorrect.

comment What are the proper materials and method to hang heavy-duty shelves in a garage for storage?
Is there a reason you want wall shelves instead of free-standing shelves? Walls in residential construction are not usually designed to support the torque that heavily loaded wall shelves apply to them.

comment How can I remove a Philips screw with a stripped head?
In my experience for screws, Visegrip is a far more effective method than specialized "easy-out" tools. Bolts are another matter.

Also, what size are those items? Something to indicate scale in the picture would be helpful.

Where does the peice that needs to e cut start and end? I can't tell from the picture. That will matter for determining the best way to cut that peice out.

@jrocknyc I realized after I wrote the answer that it doesn't technically answer your original question, so I was making some assumptions about the information you actually need. I'm curious whether my answer actually hit the mark.
