Re the access hatches... Age and physical ability can make it a challenge to get to the openings; even if you're fit now, think about the future. A further challenge is to stand up while lifting the scenery and then finding a place to rest it while you're inside the hatch. It might be more desirable to build one narrower and longer opening and not put a scenic section in it. Before you commit to a design, I suggest experimenting with how far you can effectively reach to work on things without knocking them over - that distance is shorter than most people realize.
