Re:[VAL] Weakening a rib for want of a door.



'nother possibility:

Depending upon how big the door will be, where the rib falls and what 
you want to put in there, it might be possible to simply let the rib 
pass uncut through the  door opening. If the rib is right at the edge 
of the opening this would result in a slightly narrower usable width; 
otherwise you end up dividing the usable opening into two smaller 
openings: that could still be OK, depending upon what has to pass 
through--the actual storage space would be unaffected. In either case, 
when closed the door would look "normal".
