Hi Simo,

Just about to start.
I had other work to do first like laying
marble floor tiles which I have now finished.

So observatory construction starts in about a week.

I’ll mark out the size of it first then lay a colorbond flashing
fixed and sealed to the slab ti make it vermin proof
and water tight.

Then I’ll build a frame. I would like to do that in true core
like my house.
That makes it fireproof.

Roof frame I’ll use 50 x 50mm x 3mm thick aluminium
square section to keep it light yet strong.
Bunnings sells sliding gate tracks so I’ll be using them as well.

More later with photos as I start.

Greg
