There is an access opening to the crawl space under my house that the previous owner had covered with an old piece of Plexiglas wedged between the siding and the planet earth. I decided to throw together a quick door as an upgrade. Turned out not to be all that quick, there are over 40 pieces to that thing.....
At any rate, I thought it came out okay, have a look;
