Using a jigsaw, cut a doorway in the side of the Hol, and sanded down the edges so they are rounded. Also fitted hinges so make cleaning his tray out easier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_XGRz6uWGK3I\/S6d1aDD0kWI\/AAAAAAAAHnk\/WAMZbRBtHww\/s1600-h\/IMG_0067-768236.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451454964313657698\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_XGRz6uWGK3I\/S6d1aDD0kWI\/AAAAAAAAHnk\/WAMZbRBtHww\/s640\/IMG_0067-768236.JPG\" width=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_XGRz6uWGK3I\/S6d1a3INW6I\/AAAAAAAAHns\/PVN-5BFyAK4\/s1600-h\/IMG_0068-770674.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"300\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451454978290703266\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_XGRz6uWGK3I\/S6d1a3INW6I\/AAAAAAAAHns\/PVN-5BFyAK4\/s400\/IMG_0068-770674.JPG\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nI&#8217;m really pleased with the result.
