Today I put on the roof with insulation under it and one more board of cladding plus order the cappings.

Not quite sure how to orient the pier. I may set up a temporary scope and mount and do a rough polar alignment so I bolt the pier in the correct orientation.

Nothing a bit of target planning can't deal with

So you will still have Bigga, awesome, best of both Worlds ...you a surfy?
