This weekend was devoted to the construction of the observatory building which everything will sit upon. Started with digging in the foundation for the floor frame, had made a bit of a start on it last weekend. Total of eight holes dug out, a bag of concrete for each, levelled. I then used TuffBlock 300 x 300 x 90mm Instant Foundation System Deck Support for the 100mmx100mm timber foundation. Of course, the old observatory had to go before I could do any further work, pretty quick job taking it down.

Did the out frame first, levelled and squared and then filled it the remained of the joists. That was Saturday's job. Sunday saw the wall frames go up and the floor loosely fitted.

Other than making one small mathematical error the construction of the observatory building was quick and easy. The one thing I was concern with was the ease to which I could climb in an out of the observatory. Turns out not a problem at all.

Cheers
