Most garage doors have a pull chain..disable it and pull down.

Inside garage can't get to it

You don't have a door inside the house that leads into the garage? That's what I do.

It's not attached garage there's only one way in one way out that's what the remote control any other way you have to break glass block windows or go through the roof or knock the garage door down and I've seen all that happened here got a room schedule at a motel down the street that's where I'm going to spend the rest of the night so utilities won't be on until Sunday evening maybe   but I need to go someplace and get warm I'm catching the flu now and I have to do whatever I have to do to prevent that from happening okay I'm out talk later

Weird.  Even most detached garages have a side door for safe access in and out.  My childhood home, the garage was a single, and it was so full of junk, but my mother had the side door access to the big deep freeze clear at all times, LOL.  The door didn't even close all the way, so she had my father add a hook and eye hasp lock and we used a master lock to keep it secure.  The keys hung on the side of the fridge, and everyone and their dog knew where they were, so anyone could get in, but it never seemed to be a source of fascination.  I know when my dad died, and we started cleaning it out, we found so many car parts, old tools, my brothers outfitted their own garages.

 Said that it's only one way to get in and out of this garage because so many people have tried to get in my garage since I put the garage doors in that they're taking screwdrivers and chipping away the mortar which I have to replace but that's it the only way in is through the roof or through the garage door with the remote I think the people that built this house was thinking ahead glad they did it like that but not today cozy and I'm going to  be here until 11 tomorrow and hopefully by tomorrow night we should have our utilities back on and if not I don't know

You're probably going to have to think up how to change that system luv, by installing a side or back door access as you don't want to have to go through this again when the next power cut happens. You could always have an alarm on the door - or would an alarm not work during a power outage?

Okay...I did not know it was not attached to the house.

Neighbor called says power is back on at his house.   So that means its up at mines...
Still in hotel at posting and it's nice... But got to get back cause I now have to double time to finish up on my focus...

I was catch a cold in that house with no heat and whatever I do can not afford that at this time... So this stay was worth it...

Oh I played the power ball with 4 dollars and got it back with 4 dollar win...

Omen I tell ya...
