I was unable to reach some outside patio lights that I keep in the storeage area above the battery. I had to use a coat hanger to get them out. I then measured the space and found it to be 43 inches deep, much longer then my arm. I took 30 minutes out today and made a drawer with scrape wood. I can now reach everything. The drawer just slides on 1/4 inch hard wood strips, and has wood blocks so it will not fall out. I took the pictures before I will stain them black so they will show up better.
