New ROR build

Finally making some real progress on the new observatory. This time it's a roll-off roof and hopefully the last observatory I'll be building, at least for a very long time.

I've been slowly building most of the stud frames in the garage for months now. Currently on two weeks leave trying to get it all assembled and to lock up. My parents have come up to stay and lend a hand and I'm putting the old man (featured in several of the below photos) to good use.

Of course, I realised we left off the wall wrap as we were putting in the final nails in the last bit of cladding. Not sure if there's much point putting it on the inside of the stud walls...?

I'm posting this while taking a brief respite from the sun, and am about to head back out again and dig the next hole for post supporting the remaining rail.
