Wow! A very cool td. The workmanship is great! How about some pics of the inside too? You might have covered this somewhere else but it looks like a gap between the 2 cabinets that the hatch does not cover. How did you cover that area when traveling?

Thanks ! The gap you see between the cabinets will have a removable floor tomorrow, I didnt have time to put it in today,It slips in place when the hatch closes, I'll post a pic of that tomorrow. Aaron
