Sometimes I need to go on top of the overroof we built, to clean the wood stove chimney, or to sweep off pinestraw. Instead of climbing 16 feet up the straw-slippery roof slope, I prefer to go through this trap door.

Trapdoor closed

Which blew open in Hurricane Helene. So now it has a latch.

Who knows that that thing I used to hold the latch shut is called? (I’m not going to admit I had to look it up.)
