Hi Fred,
Welcome to the joys of building!
The real "pissed off" feeling comes when, after all the meticulous fitting
and fiddling that we perfectionists tend to perform, you find that the thing
changes after some time in the sun, with the corners cocked up, looking as
though you threw it together in an afternoon, without wearing your
glasses!!!
Lesson - make sure you make some provision to prevent the pressure of the
gas strut deforming the door under warm conditions, as happened to mine,
built to original spec's. There are a few ways to do this.
Regards Graham Higgins in Oz.
