That's what I was planning on doing. I thought I might get some good tips here.

I think that is what I'll end up doing. What is the best (or easiest) 
way to figure out the dimensions of the bulkhead? I was thinking

the hatch it would probably have to be four pieces of wire. What 
solutions have people used?
