Hinged Cellar Door: Install

Ready for the install. The two supports from yesterday are near the front, where the hinged door/floor will rest. We also put two small plywood spacers along the side, to ensure there’s a small gap between the door and the existing deck.

We used my jig to cut the hinge profiles into the hinged door, and I got a brief crash course in using the router.

Added in a gusset, to prevent the floor from moving around, and to keep it as square as we could.
