You really got a strange definition of bitching. ( and people thought he was defensive. besides, he is looking. he's dragging his fingers along the wall, looking for slats or bumps or some indication of hollowness that would denote a door. but, it's solid. it's just wall. )

Let's hope the door isn't through the oven. Seems like tempting fate to crawl through there. ( he doesn't want to become a shadow's dinner. )
