My roll-off roof was perfectly waterproof, but the interior was freezing cold in winter - see my thread about 'mistakes in building'. I bought a Sirius Dome, which worked perfectly and still does. But the join between the flat part of the roof and the dome was never perfectly waterproof, nor were joins in the flat part of the roof. Any builder or architect will tell you flat roofs are almost impossible to waterproof. The dome is for sale to anyone who wants to buy (and transport) it. Make an offer! I have photographs of both versions of the roof, but cannot get Iceinspace to accept them, as they seem to be in the wrong format, even though in Photoshop I convert them to JPEG. Views of observatory: I use a Macintosh; none of the 'valid file types' are available on my machine.
