So, the telescope has been returned on Tuesday with the help of my son and the walls were plastered yesterday. A light sand and then on to painting and installing corner workstations. Plan to fully cover telescope before commencing any sanding or painting if you were worried.

Thanks for the comments in regard to the insulation. The temperature inside and out has been relatively consistent. The inside temperature has been one or two degrees lower than the outside. Got a 30-degree day coming up so should see some interesting results.

As for weatherproofing the observatory stood up well to the 20 plus mm of rain here in Melbourne with only two minor leaks detected.

Cheers
