Make a hole!

I saw three clients, weeded and mowed the front lawn, and started making an actual door.

Oh bother.

I made the crease\hinge around the frame, including the twisted rafter, but then I cut the door below the rafters.

The crease\hinge leans about an inch to the right for no reason.

I screwed a 2×4 on the door side of where I wanted the crease\hinge, but when I tried to crease it I tore the plastic on top and popped a hole around a screw.

I removed the screws holding the coroplast to the frame and screwed 2×4s on the frame side of the crease\hinge. Then I screwed a 2×4 to the boards on the back, on the door side of the crease\hinge, and a sideways 2×4 to the middle of that board.
I was able to fold all of the plastic at once, but it made far more of a crease than a hinge.

I cut a board to fit on the outside of the door and clamped it to the frame with spacers, but I couldn't maintain the spacing, and I needed to clamp the 2×4 to the coroplast in order to attach it.

I wanted to cut and secure 2×4s to the top and bottom and screw them to the vertical boards, but it was 2100, and I did not want to continue using power tools.
