ROR build. Piers are a start.

I have been working my way up to an obs build for a long time, the final intent being four piers. I have had a lonely pier for about 2 years and a hole next to it waiting for concrete for over a year (it filled with water before I could do the pour and I have been stupidly busy since) I recently managed to pump it and dry it and wrangle time to get the concrete poured and since then we have had nearly 200mm of rain so good timing on my part. Pictured here (the far one) with the new pier dummied up, waiting until this weekend for the concrete to cure some more before I drill it and chemset in the bolts.

I am actually just thinking now that I may build a separate shed as a warm room as it would make the ROR smaller and simpler (And the roof lighter) and in the case of the warm room/shed, probably get it under a size that requires a building permit in our council area. It would be nice to have somewhere secure and dry to store the gear that was more or less right at the piers.

Edited to add, yes, the pier blocks are not aligned. The first (Closest) one went in at a time when I was thinking I would build the ROR aligned with that block (Not quite running north/south) but since then I have decided to align the remaining blocks true north/south and the ROR the same way. I plan to hide my sin under a floor!
