The Dingo did it!

Dug the holes for the stumps of the wooden deck for the coming SkyShedPOD that is. The deck is going to be 3.3x3.3 M and 560mm high and will allow for good air circulation for quick temperature equilibration. The hole for the piers concrete foundation is a full meter deep. Hopefully the whole thing will be ready before the POD arrives.
This was a lot easier than digging by hand and cost was very reasonable.
THe pier is being fabricated and below is a picture of my design. The aim was to have as little obstruction around the mount head as was possible to allow for maximum travel before a meridional flip was required.
It will be good not to have to worry about being caught in the rain and setting up and breaking down.
