Well, I finally finished my little shed/scope. I had been getting ideas from this area for few weeks, rebuilt my back deck to get my skills going, before doing my real project, The Scope room. Shed deal kept wife happy, my little room for telescope was good since she had place to throw her outdoor stuff. My cost was est 1500.00 for the 20x8 shed/scope. Actuall truthfully, 1900.00 with the extra 200 had to pay city to okay the propery line infraction. Gee, those guys can be real pointy. That delay after I had set all the posts cost me 2 months of nothing, so check all ur permits and dimensions ahead of time. The shed is 12x8 the scope room is roughly 7x6. SCOPE ROOF ROLLS UNDER SHED ROOF. Dug and laid the line for electric and cable with seperate dictches 18 inches apart in pvc. The paint was supposed to match the siding of the house which is tan. The wife got to pick it out, and u know, in certain angles of light, its pink! holly cow a pink observatory! gee better than not having one I guess. Next year, new paint job. Have step by step pics if anyone is looking for ideas. I thank all who have posted theirs.
