Nice job! Thanks for sharing the details on the hinge.

You're welcome Steve. I drew it all out in SketchUp. Designed it. Figured out approach, etc. There's no way it can be drilled at this length. Even an electrician's fish bit that's used to drill holes through floor joists wouldn't work. So I figured this all out and it was alot of work but turned out very well. 

Cheers!
Rick
