In theory, yes. But The Admiral flipped out when I consumed some of that space already when upgrading the battery system--doubled the size of the bottom step which pushed into her domain--the salon/galley/stateroom/guest quarters/basement/attic/etc...

I'm going to have to make do inside the existing confines of the engine compartment.

(Besides, I suck as a carpenter)
