LOL yes looks familiar indeed...yours is perhaps a little more over-engineered but this was only $2K all up labour and materials, I recon that's a bargain and certainly beats all the logistics (remote unpowered site), materials and construction effort it would have taken me!! Cyclone rated stainless steel bugle head screws used throughout too

As for painting it green...hmmm? probably not...I am thinking plain white to match the dome...but maybe another earthy colour hmm? I know!!.. 70's Mission Brown!
