The mezzanine idea came to me recently, more than anything else inspired by a previous suggestion of my wifes to build an upstairs obs into the house or over an existing garage, the problem with both ideas being where to put a column underneath for a pier.
If I can arrange things so that I can install a pier column or columns in the shed without wrecking the utility of the shed space (It is a pretty decent sized shed) then making a second storey/mezzanine with a ROR section could be a very tenable idea, potentially cheaper or at least not much more costly than a new shed, great views with low horizons all around, leverages the existing power and data, does not take up any paddock space etc.
The issue I keep butting up against with siting an obs on the old abandoned dam area is creating 365 day access, it would take a huge amount of gravel, and it would potentially be a lot more at risk in another fire than my shed is.
