Alex, this adjustable feet idea is a ripper. I am often running around the yard looking for sticks or stones to place under each leg to level it. Then it makes it wobbly and I can spend about 15 minutes just levelling the thing.
I don't sit the scope on the ground. Hence the table/platform. Plus it makes it a bit higher for me to use.
I have thought about using garden pavers in the back yard and would need to make it look like it belongs or would look funny (according to my wife). Anyway, it wouldn't be hard to do.
That said, I'm off to the hardware store to find some adjustable feet.
Thanks.
Regards
Scott
