I have the exterior walls insulated, wired and vapour sealed. The insulation stops are in place in the rafters. I am ready to insulate and vapour the ceiling. Should i install a garage door opener before or after the ceiling is finished? Does it matter which is done first? Please help........
Oh, i also have wired the garage totally for all lights and plug ins, there are already power sources at both door opener areas.

Make sure you have an electrical outlet mounted for it. Measure the height of the door, add three feet, and mount the outlet that far back from the garage opening. Then I like to run 22 gauge wire from that opening to where the inside opener button will be located. At that point it's safe to drywall.

The opener will have to be hung and installed after the ceiling is finished ( most likely sheet rocked )
After that is done then you can mount the opener and the door and the tracks
