I don't suppose you want to combine the observatory, chook pen and vegie garden into one project . I can just imagine it: 'Please don't step on the carrots while observing eta Carina'. And let's not even mention the combination of chooks and scopes . Could give a whole new meaning to the Running Chicken Nebula .
