G'day Jen,
I am still wondering if I made the right decision re dome or roll-off. There are advantages both ways. The deciding factor for me was I wanted a decent sized warm room that would comfortably hold several people and is was just a bit easier to do with a roll-off.
Mine is 5.4m x 3m overall, with a 1.5m x 3m warm room inside. The warm room is fully enclosed and will have room for some shelving etc. The walls are 2.2m high. I thought about lower walls but, because I'm tall decided on higher piers instead. I will build a removable platform for my wife to stand on
The biggest problem I've struck is to come up with a cool name for the observatory. My wife works in day care and keeps throwing suggestions at me like "Twinkle Star Observatory"
I need something a bit more macho. Anyone have any ideas?
Possibles so far:
The Pool Room
Woodford* Observatory (* the street I live in)
Blue Gum* Observatory (* a regional park nearby)
The Box
