thank you, when I started I really wanted to avoid it becoming to

The first one I built was a single door. but I wanted to make it wider for
an entry hatch. The idea of it opening up and/or down would mean you could
build a much wider door. I like the way you think.
Yeah, waiting to get home, isn't always the way that the best ideas come
when you are not with your Lego. Ah well, after the 8 hours of work you'll
have the 8 hours of recuperation. Lots of Lego time in there. mine usually
cuts into the 8 hours of rest too.....
