Welp, officially gone overboard. Remote control door? Why not? Of course I'll need a battery and a way to keep it charged. I planned on having a battery and solar panel to power 12v heat tape to keep the water from freezing so in my defense the power was going to be there anyway. Why not add an actuator. I'll be upgrading to a larger battery come winter when I add heat tape. For now it is plenty for the door.
Again, I'm not a woodsmith and don't have much in woodworking tools so it's a little rough but it works. It can still be opened easily if the battery dies or something goes bad.
