I'm trying to figure out how to have it be maybe 36" high when in use, which means having to raise it after opening. When closed I would like it to be no more than 10" from the wall.
Ideally then it would have a smooth bottom and a frame around it so closed it looks neat and tidy.
Are you planning to have a six foot deep platform as is Kris ? If so, I can see your dilemma. But of you can make it even five feet deep, then you might be able to squeeze it in.
By the way, I see you were a marine at about the same time I was a Seabee. I served a tour in Dong-Ha, 68/69. Any chance you were in country also ?
I was in Dong Ha as a jumping off place in '67. Much thanks for the Seabee folks. Semper Fi
