Board on the right will be 4' minus a saw kerf. Making it 4'2" would drive up material costs substantially.
Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

Wouldn’t that be the exact same issue just in another direction?
This is why I'm here...to learn.
Love the trailer walls dad built...but putting stuff in/out is so frustrating that I'm tired of it already.
Was thinking of cutting the 90deg brackets I have and just using them to brace for the hinges I have on there. Just need to cleanly cut right in the middle.
Can the hinge be mounted on the inside surface of the left side piece?
or add a rectangular steel plate behind the existing back hinge piece. Weld it on if that works better.
Haven’t considered moving it to the inside in all honesty. Will check fit later but it would have to be offset from the wall.
A bracket to allow for better connection may be best.
Not sure what’s best here. Will look at some options this weekend.
Busy weekend up at the cottage, and tiring as hell. Glad I don't do manual labour for a living.
Backfilled 80% of the trench...both ends still open but hopefully soon that will be done. And cut down some trees as wife felt they're too dark for the area and are too close to the house (big thanks to a helpful GTAMer that likes to swing an axe).
Looking to brighten up the basement a little bit, and paying $150/each for 6 x 2x4 LED flush mount lights isn't my idea of a good time.
If anyone has a decent hookup / recommendation of where to find ceiling lights for a decent price please let me know (or if you have a project that's finished).
Main issue is that the current 2ft long lights are insufficient to lighten up the basement so it's a real pain to see anything. The low ceiling height needs something that spreads light easily so recommendation is 2x4 flush mount LED (similar to below)...but spending close to 1k on lights...hard pass.
Similar to this, but 2x4 instead of 1x4:

Doesn't 1x4 work better? That would you allow them to be up in the joist bays instead of below the joists. Every inch matters down there.
1x4 or 2x4 doesn't matter as they need to be installed into the bottom of the joists. Otherwise I'd have to build a frame for the 1x4 to be installed in b/w the joists.
My plan was only to install them to the bottom of the joists for simplicity / speed of installation.
