Hey Jeff,
The first hatch was 14" x 18" and although I could turn around easily when standing on a stool 10" or 16" high, it was difficult when standing on the floor. So I made the second hatch 14" x 20" and did the trick.
(BTW, I am 5'11" and 180 lb.)
I am continuing with the 5/8" plywood top on the first level so I can get started on the supports for the second level. The 5/8" plywood is working fine, and it should please those who think that 3/4" is too much as well as those who prefer something heavier than 3/8" or 1/2"
Be back soon -
Thx!
Alex
