Congrats Lee.
As a non-building type myself, I think the sun deck for the dogs is just about done. What about the rest of the kennel?
Seriously, it looks real good and as a non-builder type, I would say better than a professional. Why? I am glad you asked. You won't be able the see the floor frame work once the floor is secured, and yet you have made the effort to make everything neat and tidy, unlike the builders efforts on my last house, anything not visible was untidy and I sometimes wonder as to the stability of the structure whenever the wind picks up.
Not you though. Again, well done, a top effort and keep up the good work (and posting your efforts on Ice In Space).
I only hope that I can do at least half as good a job as you when I build my house for my not yet purchased telescope.
I love this thread and look forward to seeing your baby take shape in the future.
