I have been given a garden shed with a separate gable roof. This will form the basis of my new observatory . Best bit when I told the wife, I didn't buy it, I got it for nothing . The worst bit, she said where are you going to keep it?
it is fully disassembled, all I have to do pickit up. Then spend countless hours of trying to work out how it went together.
Alright!......say the word and I'll round up a few of the boys and we'll start digging up the back yard!
You'll have to have a couple of cases of crownies stashed somewhere though.
Thanks ED, yep a BBQ and a few ales afterwards.......but many many hours of preparation must go ahead before this gets erected. Must work on the wife, must clean up the back office and shed first, then pick the ideal spot and get ministerial approval in triplicate
Then I have to ask Photoncollector and Tornado33 very very nicely to put a slab in for me
yep thanks but I like the options posted by a member of IIS where he reinforce his observatory with unistrut construction. depending on cost, I might get that or make it out of timber, and c purlins.
c purlins might be a little weak you might have to go atleast 2mm thick for strength. Oh btw how big is the shed I am in the process of converting my 6x3 into an obs.

Onya h0ughy, as a wise real estate saleswoman once said "A man's not a man without a shed" Tell SWMBO you need it to get in touch with your masculine side....
