Well time for an update.
Top plate is painted and set into position and levelled.
The super wedge has been bolted into position and awaiting the scope to set the final position of latitude and azimuth. I will have to get a friend over to help me put the scope on the wedge (too heavy at the moment).
Once that is done and the wedge is set into the final position then I can build the deck. The reason for this is that I want to know that the pier is currently closely aligned with north south. If it is not then I need to move the pier. Much easier to do this without the deck in the way. Now to account for this I have made the sliding holes on the top plate the same size as those on the super wedge. Only a huge error in azimuth will require the pier to be moved. However, I want to be cautious all the same.
Anyway here is the latest shots of the top plate and wedge set into position.
Comments welcome
