In between work and salsa I went to B&Q and bought the bit of plywood for the hatch cover, and sawed it up. Unfortunately because I hurried I sawed it from the wrong side so all the burrs and stuff are going to be on the visible side. No I can’t turn it over because, uh feng shui, yes that’s it. Nothing to do with the box not being quite square or nuffink. But it fits and I can use some filler to patch up the slightly messy wood before painting.

more stuff to do: battens so that the hatch is a bit insulated when closed, fit hinges and catch…
