Willow Wonka was recently moved down behind the auditorium for use during the summer events.  It didn't enjoy the journey and is now a bit more wonky.  The box door wasn't closing correctly due to a twist on the wall.  Jacking it up to level it wasn't an option so I cut one side of the door to not hit its frame and put chunks of wood on the inside for the door to close against and seal.

I also reworked the closure latch to hold the door tightly at its new location and screwed down a loose board on the lower left side of the door.

Before - note huge gap on left side, wooden latches at top and lifted board at the bottom left

Before - note right side of door closing on its door jam instead of going inside the door frame
