Well, unfortunately, it's gonna have to be a combination of static and dynamic,
i.e. static in the ~3 month periods I'm off at Uni, but dynamic for the 1 month
holidays when I get to play, play, play!
I hadn't thought of doing a hing on just the rear-wall, although I think this
could be difficult for the BURPs (and I plan to require access to that area,
cos that's gonna be where the dungeons and treasure vaults are!).
I'm certainly leaning towards #3 at the moment, if only because of alack of
appraopriate hinges...
Cheers for the advice, Dan.
