Haven't updated this thread in a long time.
Platform got built and dome is back up with a few teething problems to go - mostly the sealing to stop the leaks at the floor level. Good thing we've had a fair amount of rain recently to help test things out.
The view into the dome up the ramp.
Slightly different view, so you can see the platform deck height.
The other side, looking back. There's power to the shed right near the water tank. I did a test this morning for Ethernet over Power, so all I need to get done is to extend the power from the shed point to the dome. Not extra trench is needed to get data back to the house. Damn happy about that as is was going to be very expensive to do.
I've got the dome and shutter motorised - working on getting that hooked up to the PC later (dome rotation is done). "Hiding" in the pod right now is a dehumidifier that I'll set up. I'll get a special plug so I can also control it (on/off) from the PC. I'm organising a pier to go on top of concrete pillar and need to sort out the power/data distribution inside.
