The Final Door

This picture shows the human access end with both doors complete. The doors both slot down into "holders" and then require a simple fixing at the top to secure them. The holders and the door handles are all made of short sections of the same timber-with-corner-cutout used for the chicken door runners. With complete foresight we would have worked out the total length of this required and made it all in one circular saw run.

As a slight modification to Clive's design, we fixed two extra vertical timbers between ground and floor height, so that the outer pieces of the lower end are fixed ply, and only the centre section is a removable door. This was mainly because we couldn't get a single piece of ply big enough for the bottom section out of the remains of our 8'x4' ply sheet, but also makes the lower door lighter and a less awkward shape to handle.

It went dark again by the time we finished on the Sunday, so some end-of-day-two pictures will follow.
