Not as much progress today but I did finish the last main framework.
I did have some trouble with this part. I thought I could simply frame the angle in and it would hold in place. Instead when I tightened the screws it kept trying to straighten itself and was throwing the alignment for the future drop gate out. I finally figured out what was happening and framed it in square and I'll add the angle piece in when I add the 1/2 decking to the top. That should keep everything in place.
In the meantime, I have a short piece of wood clamped over the gate gap to keep the alignment until I can get some decking in place to firm up the structure.
