Hi Brent, The chainsaw has been sharpened. Security isnt too much of an issue out here but it will have a solid locking system just to make sure. Just goto work out the fitting of the door jam. The roll off, I will be able to secure from inside without to much hassel. I have been thinking of ways to keep it cooler by planting some low growing bushes around it too and a vent or 2 around the top.

Thats an interesting thought on the pier base. The main reason I was going the block was so that the pier/telescope is isolated from the tank and any vibrations due to walking around inside the tank, even entering/leaving the tank. I though of cutting a square section aroundthe mount to isolate it from the rest of the tank but think that wouldn't be stable enough without the block.
I will have to do some testing to see if there is any vibrations. I will be putting in a raised floor and isolating that from the pier/mount, so if I can get away without the pier block that would be good(less cost)(even better, less work).

Cheers
