Hi Phil,

As usual, you come up with such elegant and workable solutions! I'll try the shim solution this coming weekend. Bob had mentioned the possibility of shimming up the hinges, but I was fixated on how to shimmy the door side hinge, and couldn't see how it could be done. Just another example of not seeing the forest for the trees.
