Well I have spent the weekend pretending to be a carpenters assistant and am the proud owner of a 95% finished observatory. Ran out of light today to finish the corners.
We constructed the frame and stood it on the slab and added the running beams.
We constructed the roof near my house for ease of electricity etc and put ot on my trailer and carefully moved it to the observatory. We were able to lift it with the 2 of us onto the frames. The iron for the roof and cladding was added after placing the roof in position. The roof rolls to the east and does block the view to the east a bit but that is the direction of town (~8km) away and has a little bit of light pollution anyway.
I will finish securing the iron and add the corner flashing over the next frw days before moving the scope in.
