Adding a zip "side entry" to a HH

I have a "bottom-entry" HH, and decided it would also be useful to have some form of side entry, so that I could adjust UQ; get things off the ground; be passed a cup of coffee in the morning etc.

Today I unpicked 24" of the side seam near my left elbow, and put in a size 3 zip with 2 sliders, opened from inside. This allows me the access for things from outside, without having to have deal with things passed up from below.

Haven't come across this concept elsewhere, so thought others might appreciate the thought process.

ZQ/2Q have been doing numerous zip mods styles for years. Just to say the idea is not new. They have something like 4 different setups. The work is excellent and the prices very reasonable.

Sounds good. It should be very handy. Got any pics?
