Cubby House Observatory

[rat156]

Realising, as Clint Eastwood would say, a man's gots to know his limitations, I have engaged a local guy who normally builds cubby houses to build me an observatory. The conversations have been interesting, but as soon as I got him some plans he's been happy. He rang me yesterday to inform me that I should come and have a look. Photo's attached.

Now I'm giddy with excitement. It's an 8x10' shed with rolloff roof. The manufacturer can make more, but I think will use mine to get the design spot on.

Cheers
Stuart

That's excellent Stuart! I'm so jealous of you guys that have the type of yard where an observatory is possible.

It looks great! And a great idea getting a cubby house builder to do it!

Look forward to the ongoing construction and installation pictures!

I assume you will get it onto the back of a truck to get it home, do you have any fences to overcome at your place?

Here's a shot of the observatory installed.

The builder has done a fantastic job Stuart, that's a great observatory.

Hi Stuart - looks great! Do you think that the same bloke who fabricated yours might be able to turn mine into reality? I need to fabricate this design for me as I haven't the tools or room to do it myself.

Thats one nice observatory!!!!!! Thats what I would like to have..but will have to be more on the budjet side...
Could you be able to post a pic or two on the sliding/rail setup? Would be much help when I build my shed..lol...
