Things are progressing well with the container observatory.
Last weekend I finished pouring the cement 6 piers that the 2 I beams will sit on to support the overall structure and I have also poured the pier base itsself (2 tonnes). I will pour the main pier (300mm diameter formatube) once the observatory is in place as there will be little margin for error with it's location rising through the container floor.
This weekend I have just finished excavating the hill on which the observatory will sit.
The I beams get sent off to be galvanised tomorrow (will take 10 days or so) and the observatory is currently getting electrical and data cables & fittings installed.
All going well, it should arrive on site in another 2-3 weeks.
