Man hole in man cave

[Starlite (John)]

The industrial strength shed was high enough to build a man cave above car spaces. 12" Dob sitting on scissor lift,stable enough for wide field viewing,the next shed will have an observatory built on top.

Pretty awesome. Do you have some kind of mechanical lock when hoisted up?

Good stuff. Seen pretty horrific accidents with failing hydraulic shafts in cherrypickers.

thats pretty cool, so if the rain comes can fold away quick?

That's pretty good John I like that idea .Mine are on castors and wheel out the roller door.Nothing like a quick setup.
