Well Guys and Galls its not long now.

Foundationd laid, walls and framing on a pallet, pier built but no footing yet, dome well on the way, PCs and software running, wireless network OK, Cameras procured, Looking up at these dark blue skies at 2 in the afternoon, if this machine lives up to its reputation, and Ive absorbed even a tenth of what Ive read here over the last 2 or 3 months re , using it , should be some really interesting results, one way or the other. .
Give me two weeks for First light. at the outside 3....

Im doing my best..

I dont allways respond to the threads Ive followed, just as well, Id drive the mods nuts...but it has been and is enlightening


Thanks all S.

"Measure twice, cut once"
Good luck.

well jjj thrir triangle so it goes something like this, measure six times and cut 3 times, then try to figure out which triangle whitch and whitch side goes where, put it on the appropriate pile and then forget which piles which, get cunning and lable the top one of each pile, so next time you need a number 4 you can grab it put"b" side up etc, use the top one in each pile by mistake and then start from sccratch with whith ones whitch, so Sunday I think is a big ask,, ..

LOL
And even if you do get it all sorted out, someone will interupt you and you won't remember which pile the piece in your hand came from.

I think we need to extract some specific dates and times for completion so we know when to check your progress. Mmmm maybe a little penalty clause to keep you honest.
Keep at it mate it is a big job but when you are finished you will have a very nice set up ... its a good idea to make the observatory large enough for a single bed.. just in case you get locked out by mistake one night.

Its got to be large enough for double bed, bar , pool table , dart board , 40cm plasma, 3 computers, maybe even a spa bath. Not to forget my Isobaric,s . Ill have to come out every now and a gain for food though,,,Penalty clause exists allready. seeing some of your guys work is enough to give me the hurry up. ..
