The only reason there are no tubes on the other side is because I ran out:)
6 wide is exactly the right size for 2 curved and one straight tube (use
a 2 axle to connect the bottom of the straight tube to the other corner tube.
The other side is not done yet (it's black temporarally) but I would
move the doors tward the center 2 studs each to allow for the ends to
work without the need for 2x2 bricks.
