23. Fitting the hatch together

Trim. Trim. Trim.

Getting the hatch to fit meant trimming and sanding the walls down.   I wanted the hatch to be a little higher to account for foam or trim so adjustments had to be made.

Once satisfied about the fit, I glued and nailed the crossbeams in.  That was easy.

The hinge was hung up, I thought, in delivery.  Then an email arrived that UPS had somehow damaged it.  The hinge company  had already re-sent me the product and it was due tomorrow.  Cool!
